BTS Sickfics

Seokjin: Kidney Infection

once again, i didnt save the requester's name. oops.

------------------

Seokjin's POV -

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch," I whine, as I go to pee for maybe the 7th time this morning. I have no idea what's come over me, but I keep needing to pee, and it stings a little. It only started this morning. I was just fine yesterday. I've never had any problems with going to the toilet before.

When I think back, I had around 4 cups of coffee last night. I'm surprised it didn't keep me awake all night, but I slept pretty well. I guess my bladder just filled overnight, and now it keeps needing to be drained. Doesn't really explain why it's hurting so much, though.

Even as the oldest member of the group, and having no hyungs of my own, I'm pretty open about my health with the other boys. When we were younger, and BTS wasn't as successful, I used to shut myself up, because it was my job to take care of the others, not the other way round. It changed suddenly when I refused to go to the toilet when I felt sick during a bonding game of UNO, and I suddenly vomited everywhere, splashing quite a few of the other boys. I thought they were mad, because I was being dishonest, but they soothed and patted me, and talked gently to me whilst they cleaned me up, and tucked me into bed. It felt so good.

When I was asked why I didn't get up, or why I didn't say I felt sick, I said it was because I was a hyung, and I needed to be strong for the others. I was met with more shushes and pats, and they said I could tell them anything, and they would do anything they could to get me feeling better. "We're a team, afterall," Namjoon had said. "It doesn't matter who is the oldest, or who is the youngest. If you need care, then we'll give it, regardless of what you're expected to be."

Even when he was younger, Namjoon has been very mature and grown up, and is excellent with his words. I realised things would have been much easier if I had been honest, and then I wouldn't have had to have scrubbed the carpet the next day. Even though I'm the hyung, and I won't ever drop that role, I let myself be vulnerable when I need to be. BTS is my family, afterall, not my school teachers, or my naughty kids.

However, this doesn't seem like something I can tell the boys about. "Hey, it really hurts when I pee." I just can't see those words coming out of my mouth. I don't really want to tell them about my dick, I guess? It feels like something I should maybe keep to myself.

As I leave the bathroom, I make the decision to only tell someone if the problem gets worse. There could be so many reasons as to why I need to pee so much, and why it stings a little. It could be something I've eaten or drank, or I could have caught my tip on my trouser zipper - what?

It passes my mind that UTIs exist, but, as I sit at the kitchen table with the others, and quietly explore the idea in my mind, I think only women can get those. I don't know of any men who've had one, certainly none of BTS. I know I could just Google it, but it feels weird Googling things about my dick.

"Seokjin hyung, you're very quiet," Jimin says, making me jump a little. I mean, I've only just sat down, for Christ's sake. "Are you feeling okay? You keep disappearing off somewhere."

I nod my head a little, blushing as the others turn to look at me. It feels like they can read my mind. 'Seokjin has a willy problem'. "I'm okay, Jiminie. I ... I just need quiet to think. I have a ... a recording idea in my head."

I focus on the silence in the kitchen as the others take in what I just said. I bite my lip, realising just how much I tripped and stumbled over my excuse. It sounds like bullshit, and, with the way Jimin raises one eyebrow a little, I think he knows it, too. Thankfully, he doesn't point anything odd out. "Oookay. If you say so."
