Yoongi: I Wish I Could Be Sick

Yoongi's POV -

Can I say something weird? I want to get sick. Right now.

This week, we're going to an olympic pool to film some RUN! BTS shots, but, no matter what I say, they won't listen when I tell them I'm terrified of deep water. I don't mind shallow water, when it doesn't come over my waist, but, when it comes to actual swimming, and putting my head under the water, I start to panic, and when I panic, I start to drown.

It seems like no one gives a shit about this. I tried to talk to the directors, but they didn't listen. I tried to talk to the boys, but they just made fun of me, saying I'm too old to have a fear of water. They said it won't last forever, and we'll only be there for a couple of hours, but that's not how it works. No matter what happens, I cannot go swimming.

The only way I can get out of this is if I get sick. Even if I just have a fever, they won't let me get in the water. Actual olympians train in this pool, so they can't risk any of them getting sick. So if I'm sick, we can't go.

But the question is, how do I do it? How do I make myself sick? I have some ideas in my head, but none of them are long lasting, or will be concerning enough. My first line of action will be to put some salt in water, and make myself throw up. It will definitely make me sick, but will it make the boys care about me enough? Maybe not. It's always worth a try, though.

I have three days to make this work. If I have to drink salt water three times a day everyday, then I will. I don't want to go swimming.

I sit at the kitchen table with the rest of the boys. Breakfast ended ages ago, but I just nibbled the end off a piece of toast, trying to look all sad and tired in the hopes someone would ask me what was wrong. Nobody did. I hold my glass of water, waiting for the right time to get up and quickly get the salt.

The boys aren't really paying that much attention to me, so I take my glass over to the sink, and turn the tap on like I'm refilling my glass. As quick as I can, I snatch up the salt container, and pour a decent amount into my cup. It goes all cloudy, and a lot of the grains just sink to the bottom instead of dissolving. I pour out some of the water, and turn on the hot tap instead, making the water lukewarm. It immediately dissolves, but the water stays cloudy. The boys will notice that it's not just water, so I go to the cupboard, and pick out a blue frosted glass, and pour the salt water into it.

"Yoongi, what are you doing?" Jungkook calls. "You've been pouring that glass of water for ages."

I pour out what's left in the glass, and pick up the blue cup. "That other one was dirty, so I got another cup. Why?" I ask suspiciously. I can already feel the sweat beading under my fringe. I shouldn't feel this guilty when I should just be getting water.

Jungkook frowns a little. "No reason. No need to get aggy."

I sit down. "I wasn't," I mumble under my breath, but the boys are quiet as I sit, and they all hear me.

"Whatever."

"Anyway, don't you think we should get some funny shirts printed for the swimming pool?" Jimin asks, grinning. "The fans love when we make them, and they're always good for the water."

Hoseok nods, picking up his phone. "I'll email the company. I get to pick the picture!"
The boys all moan at him, but I keep my head stooped, looking down at the misty water in the cup in front of me. I'm having second thoughts about drinking it, to be honest. I hate the taste of salt.
