"What-" Hoseok blinked wearily at the six familiar faces around him. "What happened to me?"

Only Namjoon was still awake however. He leaned over to face the dancer, staring at him straight in the eye. "Hobi, you're going to stay at the hospital for a while."

Hoseok's eyes widened and he gazed intently at the leader. After a long while, he whispered, "Why? And for how long?"

"Because you overworked yourself. I don't know for how long exactly, but consider yourself resting for the next three weeks."

A loud sigh escaped the dancer's pouted lips. He turned his head to look at the ceiling. Swiftly he felt his eyes being glued together by exhaustion and he fell asleep once more.

He didn't know what to do other than sleep anyway.

The meal plan started the next day. Hoseok was forced to sit up in his bed as Tae mixed all the food into a disgusting mixture.

The dancer was struggling to stay up. His hands shook unsteadily as he waited. He felt like every second he spent in a sitting position forced his muscles to work even harder, making him get even more tired.

Tae handed him the bowl. Hoseok gripped his chopsticks and lifted some of the food to his mouth. His mouth didn't seem to be working. He lazily chewed, not caring whether he choked on it or not. Hoseok just wanted to sleep.

"I don't wanna eat anymore..." he mumbled to anybody that would listen.

Tae rubbed his back. "It's not that much hyung, please eat okay? You lost a lot of weight so you need to gain it back."

Normally, Hoseok loved to eat. Even though he wasn't such a big eater as Jungkook or Jin was, he was able to chow many things down quickly. But today just wasn't his day, and he couldn't help but get annoyed at Tae's "motivating" words. He put his chopsticks down, too exhausted to yell at the second maknae or keep eating.

"Please hyung," Tae begged.

"I'm not hungry-"

"-You need to eat!" It was a new voice that spoke this time. Hoseok knew without looking at the man that it was Yoongi who had spoken. The rapper hadn't looked him in the eye since Hoseok had refused to leave his studio a few nights earlier. The dancer wondered if Yoongi was mad at him.

But no, the tone that Yoongi had used now didn't anything other than concern. He was concerned about Hoseok. The thing that made the dancer wonder was how did Yoongi acted like he didn't care about anybody, but deep down, got worried about the members if they didn't laugh hard enough.

"Yoongi, just for today, please just let me sleep. I can't eat. I'm serious please..."

Tae clicked his tongue. He and Yoongi exchanged a look and then the elder finally nodded.

"Only for today, you heard me Hoseok?" Yoongi said as he lifted the makeshift table off of the dancer's bed and helped him lay back down. "Tomorrow, or whenever you wake up, you have to eat a nice big meal."

Hoseok nodded, but he wasn't really listening to the rapper's words. His head hit the pillow and the familiar glue came to attach his eyes again.

Just before he lost complete awareness of the world around him, he felt somebody lay down next to him. They wrapped their arms around his exhausted body, trying their level best to help him relax.
