Taejin

warning: throwing up

-------

Their international tour had just kicked off and the members were headed towards America to get the concerts started off. Namjoon had successfully managed to convince the agency to give them two days of rest after the flights landed. It was unusual, but the members were thankful. There wasn't a moment to breathe usually. There was one time when they had a rehearsal the same day they arrived. Jin got a bad migraine. Hoseok told the agency to stop. The agency stopped. 

This time, it was Taehyung who had the migraine. It wasn't as bad as Jin's had been, but still. He hated migraines. Who liked them? They were painful, annoying, and in some cases, paralyzing. 

He didn't bother telling the others. They were going to be like, "Oooh Taehyung, this is why we don't stay up late on your phone!" or "See, we told you that you shouldn't work this hard!" or, the worst of them all, "I'm going to stay with you to make sure that you're alright!"

Don't get him wrong, Taehyung really did like being cared by the others. He did like getting that attention. But sometimes... sometimes, it was a bit stifling. Jin and Hoseok nagged too much. Yoongi and Namjoon lectured too much. And Jimin and Jungkook were too clingy. They gave too much voltage for a low current circuit. Taehyung got annoyed by that easily. 

Besides, this time, it wasn't even all that bad! It was just a small headache that would be cured after he took a long nap on the flight. If it got worse, he had painkillers in his bag. If that didn't work, he had two days off to recover. And if that didn't work, Taehyung already had his funeral planned. It was all good. 

He comforted himself with that thought as he settled into his seat and buckled his seatbelt. 

--------

The long nap didn't help at all. Taehyung wasn't even able to take a nap because of how badly his head started hurting. The painkillers made him feel a bit better, but they always made him feel dizzy and weird. The pain didn't completely stop either.

Taehyung moved onto the next step of his plan. The resting at the hotel.

He also was forced to tell the others what was going on. They figured it out after seeing Taehyung have a hard time getting his suitcase down from the overhead bins. Usually, the second youngest was able to get it down easily. Now he was wincing and struggling.

Yeah, so Jin was already keeping his attention on Taehyung. The second youngest tried to tell him that it was okay, his headache wasn't that bad (even though it was), but Jin told him that the only thing he was doing tonight was making sure Taehyung got proper rest.

It was okay, he was going to be alright. They had a concert in a few days. Taehyung couldn't afford to get super sick right now. The fans were waiting.

"Taehyung, why don't you go and sit in the van while we get these things figured out?" Namjoon asked. 

Taehyung agreed reluctantly. He went over and got into the vehicle. The seats were soft and he felt a little better to relax into them. He held his breath for a few seconds, willing the throbbing in his head to stop. He started breathing again when his chest started to hurt. Hopefully, it wouldn't get any worse than this. Taehyung couldn't take a degree of pain higher than this. 

The others settled into the car before he could start thinking about anything else. Jin sat next to him, his arm protectively around Taehyung's shoulders. Namjoon took up his other side.
