Taehyung Breaks His Leg at the Concert

Taehyung's POV -

Going on tour this year has been something new, and something special. We've been working hard on the new album, which Namjoon called 'organic'. The last tour we went on turned out to be really expensive for fans, as the ticket costs had to cover everything that all the new staff were doing. But this time, we have less staff, and a lot of staff are coming from the countries we're visiting, so we don't have to pay for all the fees to transfer them to each country. It feels good to help save the planet, and to help fans.

Except, this time, I have a little secret.

The day before we went on the tour, we were practicing our choreos. When I was doing Dionysus, I accidentally tripped on Jungkook's foot, and I went flying. Because of the way I kicked him, the members were more worried about Jungkook. He was fine, and said it didn't really hurt (though it must have), but I twisted my ankle pretty badly, and now it keeps turning underneath me when I walk. It's nothing but a simple sprain, but I don't have the time to rest it, because I'm a performer.

The thing is, the boys didn't care about me. They only wanted to know if Jungkook was okay. So I didn't tell them my ankle was actually hurting pretty badly, and I've hidden my limp from them the whole time. They've seen me stumble suddenly because of the turning, but they don't really ask any questions.

I feel a little alone.

I just want one person to ask if I'm okay. I want them to ask if I hurt my ankle when I fell, or just check up on me. But they won't. They don't seem to care about me anymore. As soon as there's stress, it's like I'm forgotten, even though I like cheering people up. Sometimes I feel like throwing a tantrum, and asking why I'm in BTS if they don't want me. The thing is, I really want to stay in BTS, and I don't want me complaining to ruin my spot. So I just keep quiet, in the hopes someone will care.

I just don't want to end up causing more damage. Turning your ankle can easily make it break, especially if you're doing something strenuous. What if it happens on stage? That would be so embarrassing. If I don't say anything, though, I have no excuse to not try my hardest. My own stubbornness is going to lead me to get hurt.

Sound check passes with a breeze. We don't really dance for the sound check, so I was able to just laze around, and take it easy, like the others. It's been a week since the accident, and we've held three concerts already. This is going to be the fourth. We're still in Korea. We're in Busan, actually. Jimin and Jungkook's hometown. They're looking forward to searching for their family in the crowd tonight. I wish my parents would come to one ...

"Taehyung, when we do Boy With Luv, you're going to have to step in a little, closer to Hoseok, okay?" Jungkook calls, seeing that I clearly wasn't listening to what the others were saying. "There's not that much space in the centre back stage, so we have to come a little closer."

I nod my head a little, being drawn into the conversation. "Are there any others that need to change?"

"Dionysus is going to be a bit more cramped, too. They're going to put some crosses on the stage, so we know what to jump on, okay?"

I nod my head again. "Okay. That's okay with me."

Hoseok pats my arm gently. I go to step forward with him, but my ankle turns. My leg gives out beneath me, and I end up on the floor. I whimper a little before I can stop myself, but it's enough for the others to notice. They crowd around me. Namjoon helps me back up to my feet.
