23. Namjoon: No Need to Hide

Namjoon's POV

I am laying in bed right now miserable, I can't breathe through my nose, I have a sore throat that is getting worse by breathing through my mouth and I am having hot and cold flashes that are never ending. I know we are busy tomorrow and I haven't been well the last couple days, I thought it was just a cold, but add vomiting and such to the mix and you know it is worse. I sit up to see the clock next to my bed reading 3:06 am and I am exhausted, but can't sleep. I reach for the tissues to blow my nose when I feel the need to vomit. I run into the bathroom and don't even shut the door, I lean over the basin and heave bringing up only water and stomach acid seeing as all I have consumed in three days was water for the sake of hydration. I am vomiting and heaving when I feel a hand on my back that made me jump.
"It's okay hyung, it's just me." I hear Jimin say and I relax under his touch as much as I can and continue to heave bringing little up. After a couple minutes I slump back out of exhaustion. "Hyung are you done being sick?" Jimin asks and I nod. He reaches up and flushes the toilet and helps me to my feet and back to my room. I lay on my bed and he runs out of the room coming back a minute later holding a thermometer in his hand. I let him do the set up and we both wait for the results, as soon as we hear the first beep Jimin swipes it out of my mouth, inspecting the little screen. "102.4" He says outloud and I start to worry.

"Jimin, please get Jin hyung." I tell him and he nods running out of the room thermometer still in his hand. A couple minutes later two figures appear in my doorway.

"You not feeling so well Joonie?" Jin asks and I just shake my head. "How many times have you thrown up?" He asks and I think.

"4 since yesterday morning." I tell him and he nods.

"How didn't we hear you?' I hear him question himself and he looks at me again. "Joonie when is the last time you ate any food?" I sigh, knowing I am about to be in big trouble.

"Three days ago, when I first started not feeling well." I answer honestly and see a shocked look on Jin's face.

Jin's POV

I am not sure how we didn't know or notice that Namjoon was vomiting and not eating but I can't focus on that right now. I need to figure out how to get him better. I go to the kitchen to get some crackers, water, sprite, fever reducers, and cold and flu tablets. As I walk into Namjoon's room, I see the bathroom light on and hear gagging and Jimin's soft voice trying to comfort him. I walk into see Namjoon looking worse than what I left him and Jimin, who has a weak stomach and is exhausted due to the time, looks like he is ready to vomit or pass out. I am kinda surprised he has made it think long. I walk over to them and turn to Jimin.

"Jimin, you can go back to your room and sleep. I have got it from here." I tell him and he looks at me but doesnt leave.

"Hyung I want to help you, you are tired too." He says and I sigh knowing that Jimin only means well and his big heart doesn't like it when there is an issue with the other members.

"Jimin, you are turning a pale green and I frankly am a little worried about how that's going to play out." I tell him and Just sighs again before getting up and heading out the door. He turns back before he leaves.

"I am going to get Yoongi hyung up to help you and if you guys need anything just come and get me." He says and I nod as he walks out the door. A few minutes later, me and Namjoon who is still heaving into the toilet, are joined by a very tired looking Yoongi.

"Hey hyung how is he doing, Jimin told me he is pretty sick?" Yoongi asked while rubbing his eyes and it's taking everything in me not to coo at the sight.

"Yeah he is pretty sick and he says it started three days ago. How didn't we notice?" I ask and Yoongi shrugs and I feel Namjoon finally relaxes against me and I turn to Yoongi again. "Can you help me get him to his bed and get some medicine and crackers into him, I will make soup when it isn't 4 in the morning." I say with a laugh and Yoongi laughs a little as well, as he helps me lift Namjoon to his feet and support his body weight. Once we get him in bed, I sit down and start feeding him crackers and he stops me after three, so I give him his medicine with a little bit of sprite. I am concerned by the lack of food he ate, but at least it was something. I wait with Yoongi next to me for about 15 minutes after giving Namjoon medicine and he finally falls asleep. So Yoongi and I head back to our rooms to try and get a little more sleep as well.

Jimin's POV

I wake up at 8 am and remember that I had gotten up last night and Namjoon was really sick. I walk towards his room and peek through the door a little to see him tossing and turning a little before relaxing again, I sigh and make my way downstairs. I get to the kitchen to see that Namjoon and I were the only two missing.

"Morning Jiminie." Jin says as he hands me a glass of orange juice and a plate with pancakes on it .

"Morning hyung, why didn't you guys wake me up?" I ask and everyone turns to Jin.

"Well I know you got up with Namjoon last night and I don't know how long you had been up with him, so I told everyone to let you sleep." Jin explains and I nod well starting to eat my breakfast.

"How is Namjoon doing now?" I ask wanting to know more than just me peaking in on him.

"He has the flu and has for three days and I don't know why he didn't tell us. Why did he hide it from us?" Jin asks and we all shrug and become quiet when we hear Namjoon walking down the stairs, Jin goes and meets him in the living room.

"How are you feeling?" Jin asks him while turning him back towards the stairs."

"Sick." Namjoon answers plainly.

"Well I am sending you back up to your room, I will be up with some toast, medicine and to check your temperature in a minute." Jin tells him and Namjoon nods heading back up the stairs and Jin comes into the kitchen again.

"Do you need any help hyung?" Yoongi asks and Jin shakes his head, turning to us.

"No I think that we should care for him one at a time, so we don't all get sick, even though it's going to be inevitable." Jin tells us and we nod our heads and we all sit in silence before we finally start heading off to do our own things.
