21. Taehyung: The Cure of Cuddling

Taehyung's POV

It has been a little cold outside and we have been working hard lately, so in the middle of being exhausted and dealing with the weather we are all trying to stay healthy. We have done a great job so far and we are planning on keeping it that way. I woke up this morning and felt a very familiar feeling on a stuffy nose and started to notice more signs of sickness, headache, sore throat, feeling hot despite the temperature outside, and I am starting to cough and sneeze. I think about how even though I have been so careful I got sick. I have to keep this to myself , we are all under enough stress, I don't need to add more. I get up, wash up, and get dressed just like every other morning. I go in the bathroom and look for medicine, I find some and decide I should take my temperature. I am waiting for the thermometer to beep when there is a knock on the door, just at that moment I hear the beep so I pull it out of my mouth.

"Yeah ." I call out to the person on the other side of the door.
"Tae hurry please, we are leaving in 15 minutes." I now know it's Yoongi, outside.

"Okay give me a couple minutes and I will be ready." I call out and don't get a response so I assume he heard me and left. I look down at the thermometer and it reads 101.2 degrees. I sigh and grab a fever reducer as well and the cold and flu medicine and then some throat lozenges. I grab extra medicine and throw it in my bag for later today just in case and make my way down the stairs.

"Hey Tae, finally we are about to leave." Jin says and I nod. "Have you eaten?" I nod again since I am not feeling up to eating and we head out the door and to the studio. We start dance practice with IDOL and I am having a hard time keeping up, I am having a hard time breathing due to congestion and I am starting to get a stomach ache that is making me feel even sicker. I am trying to keep up but keep getting off in the timing since my moves are slower so Hoseok stops the music.

"Tae, what is up with you today? You're like 8 counts behind everyone." Hoseok asks and I sigh and shrug. I turn to see Jimin, staring at me and he looks worried.

"Tae, are you feeling okay?" He asks and everyone turns to look at me waiting for my response. I nod and huff.

"I am fine, just a little tired so my body is lagging." I tell them and turn back toward the front. I am waiting for the music to start and as soon as it does, I feel so stupid for not saying something about not feeling well. The next song we work on is Boy With Luv and that has the jumps and stuff and I feel my body starting to get weak and stiff. We are in the middle of rehearsal and I know I am going to throw up so I run to the garbage can in the corner of the dance studio and start heaving over it, to begin with I was only bringing up small amounts and I notice I don't hear the music anymore. Suddenly I feel a hand rubbing my back and someone trying to comfort me.

"Hey Tae, why didn't you tell us you're not feeling well?" Jimin asks and I shrug. I am not really sure why I am throwing up, I never have when I just have a cold. I hear the others packing their bags and I am worried about them finding the medicine in mine and them being upset for me not telling them.

Jungkook's POV

I am packing my bag up and offer to pack up Jimin and Tae's as they are still huddled by the garbage can. I open Tae's bag to put his water bottle and get his sweatshirt when I notice a little baggie with some medicine in it. I turn around.

"Tae have you not been feeling well since before we left this morning?" I ask and everyone turns to see the bag of medicine in my hand. Tae just nods before heaving again. Jin walks up to Taehyung and asks him his symptoms.

"Sore throat, fever, sore muscles, headache, coughing and sneezing, and now vomiting but I'm not sure why." Taehyung explains.

"What was your temperature this morning?" Jin asks.

"101.2." Tae says in response, I sit and think about what got him sick so fast and it sounds like a cold, but the vomiting is throwing me off, he doesn't vomit when he has a cold. I sit there for a minute thinking about it when something comes to mind.

"Tae did you eat breakfast after you took these this morning?" I ask, showing the bag of medicine again. He shakes his head and Jin sighs.

"It's just a cold but you upset your stomach by taking medicine without eating." Jin told Taehyung and he just nodded in return.

"Let's get our sick boy back home and get him better." I say pulling Jimin, Taehyung and my bag onto my shoulders. Hoesok comes and grabs one and we head back home. Once we get there Jimin takes Taehyung to his room and Jin starts making soup.

"Yoongi can you make him some tea and Hobi can you go check his temperature and get some medicine ready and JK, I need you and Namjoon to call and let everyone know Tae is sick." Jin says assigning jobs, we all nod and head to do them.

Jimin' POV

"Tae why didn't you tell us baby?" I ask him after we get him in pajamas and tucked into bed.
"We have all worked so hard on staying healthy and I don't know how I got sick, I was so careful and I didnt want to bring everyone down." He says some tears escaping his eyes that I wipe away as soon as they fall.

"Don't worry baby, we will get you better, but next time please tell us." I tell him and he nods. Hoseok comes walking in with the thermometer and puts it in Taehyung's mouth, we hear the beep and Hoseok grabs it to look at.

"What's his temperature at?" I ask and Hoseok sighs.

"101.6" He says and adds fever reducer to the list of medicine he has written on his hand.

"Jin hyung is making soup, are you up for eating?" Hoesok asks him and Taehyung nods.

"Yeah I am starving." He says as he smiles and laughs a little. Soon everyone is in Taehyung and Namjoon's room. Tae is eating and has had medicine and we all decide to watch a movie in their bedroom. And we all end up falling asleep filling the 2 beds in the room. Cuddling is always the best cure, isn't it?
