The familiar clicking sound of cameras reached Seokjin's ears, they were standing on a rocky cliff with a great view of the sea, cold wind hitting their faces as they posed for their 'most Beautiful moment in life' album.Half an hour passed before the manager gave them a break while the stuff moved the cameras and other things to a little further away place with better sun light.To waste time, Seokjin started telling the members funny dad jokes that they all laughed at but mostly Jimin who had tears in his eyes from laughing which made Seokjin happy" What do you call a deer with good eyesight?" Seokjin started with the next joke and paused for a sec before he continued "Good idea!" Seokjin finished and they all laughed again.Taehyung came up to seokjin moments later with something behind his back and made him guess what it is before asking "Hyung, how do you feel about grasshoppers?" With a smirk on his face, he saw Seokjin widen his eyes as he realized what his brother is hiding.Seokjin ran and Taehyung chased after him, not minding that his hyung is scolding him as he ran away. Taehuyng only laughed and continued running after Seokjin, the others were all laughing expect for Hoseok who thought that he wouldn't like to be in seokjin's place and Yoongi whose busy on his phone."Yah, tae, I swear if you don't stop right now, you're gonna regret it! You hear me! Tae! go away!" Seokjin threatened to scare him but the one who got scared and screamed was him when Taehyng started catching up to him while laughing and telling him that it won't harm him to touch it.Both Taehyung and Seokjin where careful as they ran on the rocky ragged ground but well, today wasn't Seokjin's lucky day.Seokjin didn't notice that the next step he's taking is on a rock that is uneven like the other rocks and slipped on it, falling on his hands and Grimacing in pain.Taehyung stopped running and bent down to take a look at his hyung "Hyung are you alright?" Taehyng asked, a little out of breath and worried because the fall didn't look nice at all.Seokjin groaned "No, not okay, i think i sprained my right ankle real bad and my hands are scraped now" Seokjin sighed and gave Taehyung whose still holding the grasshopper a cute but sad pout "Tae please put it away, i would rather go on a diet forever than let this creature touch me" Seokjin said as he backed away a little with an over dramatic tone that made Taehyung giggle."Don't worry hyung, i wasn't actually going to put it on you, i only wanted to scare you a little and have fun. No harm in that" Taehyung said with a grin before he let the grasshopper go in the direction of trees."Well that wasn't fun for me" Seokjin rolled his eyes."Hyung, hey are you alright? are you hurt?" Namjoon asked, rushing to Seokjin's side with the others."Nothing serious" Seokjin said as he stood up and winced in pain, he leaned on his left foot for support."Did you sprain your ankle hyung?" Jungkook who noticed his hyung's pain worriedly asked."He did" Taehyung answered for Seokjin, giving him a smile before he continued "let's tell the medical team, I'm sure we have a spray or something for stuff like this"Namjoon nodded and told seokjin to not move and sit back down while he went to get the medical team, Seokjin didn't argue and did as he's told.A few minutes later, The medics were already attending to Seokjin's sprained ankle and scolding him and Taehyung a little for running in a dangrous place like this. They told Seokjin that's it's gonna hurt but he should be able to walk on in it without feeling much pain if he doesn't add too much pressure to it.Ten minutes later, they were all standing next to each other, smiling to the camera for their album, the photoshoot continued peacefully for almost an hour, the pictures looked great and better than expected, they were satisfied with them.The stuff started packing the cameras and the things they used as soon as the photoshoot ended, it was almost sunset and the sea view was breathtaking.Seokjin and the maknaes walked to the edge of the cliff to enjoy the view better and take pictures while the other three looked at the photoshoot pictures."If someone falls from here, would they die or swim and survive?" Jungkook asked as he took another picture of the beautiful sea to add to his collection, smiling when he thought it looked perfect."Well..um i don't think they would die if they know how to swim and jump in a specific position...also, there are no waves that could kill you but it's really high from here and the water looks deep so i guess you'll get hurt if you don't die? Or you could just die, I really don't know" Jimin said as he got closer to the edge to look down at the water that's hitting the rocks softly."Careful Jimin, you could easily fall if you make the wrong step" Seokjin warned."Yeah, don't worry, i don't feel like swimming right now" Jimin joked and moved away from the cliff to stand next to his hyung.Seokjin stared at the spot Jimin was standing on before he closed his eyes and inhaled the sea's clean and refreshing air, he opened his eyes and took his phone out of his jacket's pocket "Hey photographer, can you take a picture of me? I want to post something on twitter for army" Seokjin asked as he took a few steps closer to where Taehyung is standing.Taehyung smiled and said "Sure hyung" as Seokjin handed him the phone."I'm going to stand on the edge, extend my hands and give you my back as if I'm hugging the sea, what do you think? Nice right?" Seokjin asked as he moved to do the pose he's talking about.Jimin looked at Seokjin and hummed before huffing "Look at who told me a second ago to be careful is doing"Seokjin ignored him and Taehyung laughed, having fun in annoying Jimin a little."That's totally a beautiful idea hyung but really, don't you think it's kinda dangerous to stand on the edge like that?" Taehyung asked but moved to get a good angle nonetheless "Well, as Jimin said, I don't feel like swimming right now and I'll be careful." Seokjin smiled and did the pose, Taehyung counted to three before taking the picture and felt proud that it looked really beautiful with the sun setting down and the sea with different soft shades of blue and seokjin in the middle of all the beauty "Hyung it looks REALLY good, perfect!" Taehyung said and Seokjin smiled again as he turned to go taehyung's way, happy about Taehyung's words but his smile vanished in a second as the rock he's standing on broke under his weight when he moved.It all happened too fast, Seokjin gasped as he suddenly felt the rock break and the gravity pull him down.Taehyung and Jimin screamed their hyung's name in horror when they saw it happen and quickly rushed to the edge and crouched to the ground to look down.They were shocked to see Seokjin, clutching a rock that's sticking out a little with his right hand "Hyung! Hyung! Oh my god h-hold on hyung don't fall, I'm gonna get help, d-don't try to move hyung" Taehyung screamed in panic, there was no way he's going to be able to pull his hyung up without help, he wasn't within his hand's reach.Taehyung turned his face to Jungkook who is standing a little away from them but didn't notice what happened as he's too focused on his phone "JUNGKOOK! HYUNG FELL, SEOKJIN HYUNG FELL" Taehyung screamed loudly, grabbing the attention of Jungkook. He didn't want to leave Seokjin and Jimin alone while he went to get help.Jungkook's face went pale as he focused on what Taehyung said and rushed to them."p-please get help...i..don't think i can't hold
l-longer" Seokjin said, his hand injured and bleeding and shoulder hurting painfully from when he suddenly grabbed the rock, it felt as if his arm and body are going to split apart any second.Seokjin's was very frightened, tears pricked his eyes as his breathing started to quicken by the second and his heart beat faster than he could ever imagine, his hand was getting sweaty and bloody, the rock didn't look like it can hold him a lot and it only scared him more because he knew he wouldn't be able to swin even if he tried because of his ankle. He felt scared for dear life.Taehyung didn't hear all of what his hyung said and just ran as fast as he could to get someone who can help."Hyung! Oh my god hyung, how did this happen?!" Jungkook asked, still not fully processing what's happening."Don't let go of the rock hyung, w-we'll get a rope or something, j-just don't let go of this one rock please! Please!" Jimin panicked, not knowing what to do or say, the only thing he knew that if Seokjin lets go, the possibility of not seeing his hyung's smile again is huge."Ji-jimin" Seokjin cried "Jimin, i-it's too high, i-i can't swim Jimin, oh god, I-I can't hold longer" Seokjin panicked more and slowly lifted his head up to look at his brothers with tear filled eyes.Seokjin's breath hitched when he felt his hand slipping from all the sweat and the blood that is now covering his stinging palm, he tried to make his hold on the rock more firm than it already is and that's when the rock finally broke like the other one.And again, It all happened in seconds.Seokjin heard Jungkook scream his name in horror as he finally truly fell and in no time, he hit the cold water harshly with a loud splash, getting deeper and deeper into it.He felt water burning his eyes, going up his nose and blocking all the sounds but it didn't matter, he only thought about getting out and not opening his mouth.He began thrashing his body as panic took over him in the water that is still pushing him deeper but to no avail, his body hurt and it felt as if he wasn't really moving or even trying. His sprained ankle didn't help at all but only made it worse.Seokjin closed his eyes and tried focusing on holding his breath longer but the urge to breath oxgyen was starting to take over him fast and he started to hear his heart beating in his ears before he unconsciously opened his mouth and inhaled water instead of the oxgyen he needed so bad, he coughed only to inhale more water, allowing it to pass into his airway and lungs in seconds, giving him a tearing and a painful burning sensation in his chest, and soon enough he felt as if his lungs stopped working and his body go numb, he had no strength left.All Seokjin could do now is look up at the rays of faint light that shined through the water before it disappeared as he continued to go down and down into the dark water that didn't seem to have an end.He didn't want to accept his miserable fate, he didn't want to die, he wanted to live, he wanted to stay with his brothers, he didn't want to be left alone in the darkness that he hated.But that was his fate and he couldn't escape it.Sokjin felt peaceful as his vision started going dark as if he's going to sleep like normal and he blacked out, letting the darkness consume him as he remembered the faces of the people he loved the most. ___ "HYUNG!" Jungkook screamed again and again in horror, his face going paler than it already is. "SEOKJIN HYUNG!""No! No! Hyung! No! Oh god hyung! Please come out, please come out." Jimin panicked as unstoppable tears fell from his eyes and upon seeing his hyung's tears, Jungkook's own ones that he tried so hard to blink away rolled down his face, he looked at the spot where his hyung fell and there is no sign of him, nothing...Jungkook stood up and with shaky legs, rushed to the same direction Taehyung went, leaving Jimin behind, they didn't have time to cry, not when Seokjin is losing his breath underwater...losing his life...Jungkook shock his head as he ran but stopped as soon as he did when he saw Taehyung, Namjoon, Hoseok, Yoongi and their manger running his way with two people he doesn't know but guessed they are life guards from the special outfit they wore."PLEASE HURRY! HE FELL!" Jungkook screamed, panic filling his voice, and in no seconds, one of the life guards jumped into the water without hesitation like a professional would, leaving the one with the medical bag with them.Everyone looked as white as paper, scared for their eldest hyung's life, all of the maknaes and Hoseok cried while Namjoon patted Jimin's back and Yoongi stared at the water in horror, never blinking his eyes or moving.Moments later, the life guard came out of the water with Seokjin unconscious."Hyung!" Yoongi screamed, causing all of the others to look down and see their hyung in the arms of the man who jumped.They didn't know how to feel...their hyung is out but clearly not moving or conscious.Fortunately, there is land near the spot he fell, and while the rescuer swam that way, the members ran down through the closest path the man that is with them knew, trying to rush to Seokjin's aid.When they finally arrived, they saw the one who got Seokjin out of the water doing CPR on him, and all of their hearts painfully dropped at the sight of the man pressing on Seokjin's chest multiple times and then giving him mouth to mouth breathing and repeating the same thing again and again when Seokjin didn't give him any reaction, indicating that their hyung's heart stopped beating.Now all of them are crying and sobbing uncontrollably, even the manager had tears in his eyes. Jimin and Jungkook bent down and wailed into the sand, Hoseok sobbed and hugged Yoongi who kept saying Seokjin's name repeatedly as he cried into his shoulder while Namjoon stood there with eyes wide open and tears threatening fall, believing that if he cried, then what is happening is real and he didn't want to believe that any of this is real, didn't want to believe that his hyung is not alive and breathing. Taehyung sat on he sand, clutching his hair tightly, silently crying and praying for his friend not to be dead.Jungkook stood up and rushed closer to Seokjin's side but Namjoon held him in a hug from behind to stop him."No! Let me go! No! Please no please hyung, let me be with him, please! Please!" Jungkook cried and begged helplessly, he looked at the man still doing CPR on seokjin who laid there, lifeless, his skin and lips a little bluish and his body cold and wet, just like a dead person would look like "H-hyung...N-No..hyu-" Jungkook sobbed loudly and turned around to cry into Namjoon's chest, not wanting to look at his hyung like this.They were all devastated and any hope of getting their hyung back started fading as the seconds continued to pass awfully slow "No pulse, prepare the defibrillator" The person who is pressing on Seokjin's chest said and stopped when he was handed scissors to cut Seokjin's shirt and then wipe the water off his chest in fast moves before the other person placed two pads on him and turned the weird looking machine on, sending a shock to Seokjin's heart before he started doing cpr again. Sirens were heard, indicating that an ambulance is getting closer to them."H-hyung please." Jimin cried softly between hiccups as all of them hugged each other now. It's been over 5 minutes since Seokjin was pulled out of the water and he was still not breathing but a sudden harsh intake of breath and then really harsh coughing snapped their heads up almost at the same time to see their hyung, struggling to cough the water out of his mouth, the rescuer leaned him on his right side and water started coming out before the other lifeguard took over and lifted him up from behind with arms around his waist, so his head was down, and squeezed, making seokjin vomit lots and lots of water for a few moments before he started wheezing and breathing irregularly with unfocused eyes.The man who rescued Seokjin unzipped the bag that his friend had before Seokjin was put back down and placed a portable oxgyen mask over his face to help him breath."His breathing isn't stable, he should be transported to the hospital right away" the life guard said.They were all still crying but less louder than before, no one could say a thing because of the unbelievably strong relief that their hyung is breathing again, they wanted so badly to just hug their hyung tightly and talk to him, make sure he's alright.Seokjin couldn't make out or understand anything around him, every sound he heard was muffled and he felt completely out of his mind as he trembled, he was terrified but he couldn't tell why or really focus on it. Even though seokjin came back to life, he didn't seem to come back to his senses yet, he looked disoriented, they could all see the fear in his unfocused eyes and how hard he's trying to breath through the oxygen mask.Seokjin felt his vision slowly go black before he lost consciousness again, his body not able to keep up with anything."He's still breathing, let's go, the ambulance is already here." One of the men said loudly and Namjoon nodded as he went with one of life guards to the direction of the sirens sound and help get them where they are to get seokjin into the ambulance. ---- It has been 3 hours since they arrived at the hospital and let a doctor do a lot of different examinations on Seokjin to make sure he's alright.They've been told almost an hour after they arrived that Seokjin has got a strained shoulder muscle, a swollen ankle and an injured hand other than been diagnosed with walking Pneumonia caused by the Bactria that was in the water which shouldn't be serious if they take care of him.The doctor told them that Seokjin is a really lucky person because unlike a lot of people who faced the same kind of accident, he didn't seem to have any brain damage because of lack of oxygen.The members were now in a big private room, Seokjin collapsed on a bed with an IV drop attached to his left arm, the hospital's oxgyen mask to help him breath and a pulse monitor to show his heart activity and make sure he's alright.All of the members were gathered in the room, the maknae line on the couch, Hoseok leaning on the wall next to them, Yoongi on a chair next to Seokjin's bed and Namjoon pacing around the room every now and then.Everyone was calmer than before but they were still worried about their hyung.They knew drowning is not an easy matter, they literally saw their hyung dead and get resurrected back to life in a horrible state, no one wanted to ever see something like this happen, it effected all of them.Hoseok sighed and walked towards the door "I'm gonna go get water, anyone thirsty or hungry?" He asked and waited a bit before Jimin said he's going to go with him."I'm gonna bring you all a bottle of water and snickers, we need to be in full energy for when hyung wakes up" Hoseok said and gave a small smile before he and Jimin exited the room.They walked silently next to each other before spotting a vending machine and stopped to get what they wanted."The mood in the room is really gloomy" Hoseok said."Well...what do you expect?" Jimin sighed as he pressed on the circle shapped button that read water above it."I don't know but i know Seokjin hyung wouldn't like seeing us like this as much as we don't like seeing him like that" Hoseok said and Jimin nodded as he continued pressing the button for water for the sixth time."But...hyung, if manager-nim didn't request for life guards to be there in case something unexpected like this happened...S-Seokjin hyung wouldn't be here...with us" Jimin said in a low voice that trembled at the thought of not having Seokjin with them.Hoseok stayed quiet, it hurt but Jimin was right and he made a mental note to himself to thank their manager later."He's alive and that's all that matters, don't let any negative thoughts get to you, okay? And let's try to lighten up the mood when we go back, hmm?" Hoseok gave a Soft smile as he patted Jimin's shoulder, trying to lift his spirits up.Jimin softly smiled back at Hoseok and held half of the bottles and snickers while Hoseok held the other half.They entered the room again and handed each member what they got them."Thanks" Namjoon said quietly as Hoseok handed him the stuff last, Hoseok looked at him and smiled.Jimin approached Seokjin's bed and looked at him with a small sad smile.Yoongi who saw that quirked an eyebrow "Why are you smiling?" Yoongi wondered."Ahh, well...umm...I'm...just really glad that he's alive you know?" Jimin said in a small warm voice that had everyone looking at him.Yoongi hummed and looked at his hyung whose sweating a little."Um...I've wanted to ask this before..." Namjoon said, turning their attention to him and continued "How did he fall?" He asked the question that they all wanted to know and looked at Taehyung and Jimin who they knew saw everything.Taehyung moved in his seat and looked at his hands "uh..he...wanted to take a picture on the edge to post on twitter for army and asked me to take it for him...hyung was careful...he really was But...i think the rock where his stood was not strong enough or something and it just kinda broke under him when he turned." Taehyung said, feeling uncomfortable as he remembered his hyung fall in front of his eyes.Namjoon sighed, he couldn't believe that Seokjin almost lost his life because of a picture...but anyone could have been in his hyung's place, he saw lots of people take pictures on edges but never heard of a rock breaking under anyone."Aish, this hyung, he could've taken a picture on the ground and army would've loved it" Hoseok said in an old lady tone, trying to lighten up the mood and bringing a small smile to everyone's faces."It could have been anyone you know, like...when we were there, i also thought of taking a picture on the edge..i thought it'll look kinda cool" Jungkook said and hoseok rolled his eyes "Yah, wow, i didn't know i had such adventurous brothers. No one try or even think of doing something dangerous like this again alright?" They all nodded and smiled, but their smile fadded when they heard the beeping of the heart monitor start to dramatically intensify to a really fast pace, everyone rushed to their hyung whose frowning and also breathing in a fast manner, making his brothers worry and panic.They were all startled when Seokjin suddenly opened his eyes and gasped a little loudly before he sat up, clutching at his chest and sobbing."Hyung" Yoongi called a second before a male nurse came rushing into the room.They all moved to let him see Seokjin who is now trembling uncontrollably and coughing. Having difficulty in breathing even with the oxgyen mask on.The nurse came closer to Seokjin and sat on the bed to be in front of him on the same eye level, looking like he understood what's happening and knew what to do "Hey Seokjin, can you look at me please? there is nothing to be afraid of, you are safe, you are completely safe and I'm here to help you through this." The nurse said in a reassuring manner as he ran his hand up and down Seokjin's back to let him know that he's there to help him which seemed to work a little as Seokjin's grip around his chest softened "Look at me Seokjin" the nurse said again and this time Seokjin did look at the nurse with teary and scared wide open eyes "Great, remember what i said, there is nothing to be afraid of, you're safe, now can you do as i say? breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth, in and out, alright? Do it like me" the nurse did what he said in order to show Seokjin how and thankfully, Seokjin listened and tried to follow what he's being told "Yes sweetie, you're doing great, just like that" The nurse encouraged every now and then and after a few minutes, his breathing slowed down and his sobs turned into small sniffles and hiccups as his heart rate started to gradually go back to normal and he slowly came back to his senses."Are you feeling better?" The nurse continued to run his hand up and down Seokjin's back for a few moments more before he helped him lay back down again.Seokjin gave a soft nod"Great, I need to inform the Doctor that you're awake, I'll be back in a minute" the nurse said and smiled before he left the room.Seokjin took a double breath before he sighed, he felt dizzy and drained and the room felt like it was spinning a little, he was aware of the members eyes on him but he was nervous, he didn't know what to say, he didn't remember the accident until the nurse left and still didn't remember that he woke up for a few moments on the sand or even know that his heart actually stopped at some point, he just remembered that he fell into the water and couldn't get out, his memories of the accident not organized or in place yet."H-hyung" A teary eyed Jungkook said, his voice trembling a little as he approached him."Hyung are you alright?" Namjoon asked.Seokjin looked at the faces of his worried brothers and forced a small smile."Uh...Yeah, I'm...fine, just tired, sorry I worried you guys" Seokjin's voice was horase and low as he lied to his brothers and averted his gaze, his head pained him, he felt sick and it hurt in more than one place but he didn't want to worry his brothers more than they are, he knows he's already done so much trouble and already feels bad about it.Seokjin knows his brothers aren't stupid though, they probably saw right through his lie but he felt thankful that they didn't say anything about it."Don't apologize hyung, no one expected such a thing to happen, it was an accident and the most important thing is that you're here with us, we're thankful for that" Namjoon said and Seokjin gave him a small forced smile."Where else would i be? I belong with you guys and i would never want to change that" Seokjin said, totally oblivious to the fact that he actually died and was revived after a few minutes later, he thought that he just lost consciousness, his mind not wanting to get close to the thought of dying that he hates and is scared of."Hyung we love you, we Love you so so much" Jungkook said and the others and the others agreed, making Seokjin's heart feel warm."I love you too guys" Seokjin said, he felt better with them by his side.Seokjin removed the oxygen mask from his face even though yes it was better to breath in that but he didn't feel comfortable, he didn't think it made him look healthier."Why did you remove it?" Jimin wondered."it's not comfortable" Seokjin simply explained."But can you still breath normally without it?" Taehyung asked."Well...I'm still breathing, aren't i?" Seokjin sarcastically said and closed his tired eyes, only to open them again less than a minute later when he heard a knock on the door before it opened."Hello" The Doctor greeted as he entred the room, followed by the same male nurse from before" I'm Doctor kim jiho, you can call me Doctor kim, I'll be the one in charge of you while you stay here" The Doctor said and Seokjin just looked at him and nodded before he coughed a little."I'm glad that you're awake" The Doctor continued talking and looked around the room before looking at his clipboard and then back at Seokjin "Alright so i need to ask you some questions but before i start, will you be comfortable with your friends in the room or would you prefer it to be just between us?" The Doctor asked.Seokjin looked at his brothers, he would want it to just be between them but they will know what they talked about later anyway, right? And he didn't want to make them feel like he didn't trust them "it's fine, they can stay" Seokjin decided to say before he tried to sit up but the nurse helped by setting the bed on a sitting position. He didn't know that the members were already told about every injury he's got.The doctor nodded "Alright so, I'm going to ask you some questions and i need you to answer honestly to them." Doctor kim said as he finally noticed that Seokjin removed the oxygen mask but didn't comment about it "How are you feeling right now?" He asked.Seokjin stayed silent for a bit before he spoke "um...not great" he simply answered after deciding not to lie to a doctor."Well, that's expected but i want you to be more specific, you must be a little confused and dizzy right now but don't worry, you'll start to feel better within a few minutes of staying awake" The doctor looked at his clipboard "So we already know that your right shoulder is a little strained and your ankle is badly swollen, your chest and lungs probably hurt but don't worry, you'll hopefully get better soon and now that I've finished telling you most of what i know, how about you tell me if you're hurting in a place that i didn't mention or feeling sick so that we can take better care of you?" The Doctor sighed.Seokjin quirked an eyebrow, he didn't like how the doctor talked to him or his tone, as if he's a burden or a bother, as if he's forcing him to take care of him or to even work as a doctor.Seokjin didn't like him."Uh..well...you mentioned everything" Seokjin said in a low voice."Alright" The Doctor sighed as if he wanted him to have more injuries to treat and seokjin is sure he saw him rolling his eyes. 'Why don't you just leave.' Seokjin thought.The doctor cleared his throat before talking again "Alright, i heard you woke up with a panic attack earlier, would you like to share with me the reason?" Seokjin stayed silent as he remembered the horrible nightmare, he didn't want to talk about it, just thinking about it made him feel as if he's suffocating.A few seconds passed and Seokjin still didn't answer."So? What do you say Mr Seokjin?" The Doctor asked, curious as to why the kid is silent.
"I...I don't want to...to talk about it" Seokjin whispred. The doctor quirked an eyebrow "You're sure? It's not good to let things that bother you inside for a long time, did it maybe have anything to do with your time in the water or being revived? Cause if that's the case, i hope you tell me about it." Seokjin felt his breath quicken, he what? He was revived? 'No that couldn't be it, i must have heard it wrong' he thought."I-I'm sorry, what? did you just say revived?" Seokjin asked in a shaky voice and the doctor quirked an eyebrow again at his reaction 'Did the kid not know?' The doctor thought as he looked at his clipboard and then back at Seokjin."Well, apparently, when they got you out of water, there was no pulse so the rescuer did CPR on you for a few minutes and used a defibrillator until you came back, you didn't know?" Seokjin couldn't believe his ears, he what? he died? He died and was revived? "I died?" He mumbled, remembering the nightmare again, his breath Becoming ragged as he placed a hand to his heart, feeling it beat fast against his chest.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

"S..seokjin-hyung?" Jungkook said as he saw his hyung tense and his heart rate increase on the monitor.A tear left Seokjin's eyes as the room started spinning and he felt like he's going to throw up, his whole body started shaking out of intense fear, he was pretty shaken up, it wasn't every day that you hear you died and was brought back to life. He lost his composure as worst case scenarios crossed his mind. What if CPR didn't work? What if he stayed longer in the water and no one got to help him on time? What if they did get him out but didn't try to bring him back to life? Seokjin would be dead right now, would have completely left his life and the people who he loved behind and he wouldn't be breathing here with them.He couldn't control himself. He started Blubbering and gasping for the air that he's losing, feeling like chocking.The nurse quickly got closer to him and started trying the same method as earlier, sure that he's getting another panic attack "Seokjin, hey it's okay sweetie, everything is okay, you're alive, nothing bad will happen to you, trust me, you're safe, you're totally safe so just breath" Mark tried but it didn't seem to work this time, he held Seokjin's hand but Seokjin flinched and pushed his hand away, he was out of control but that didn't stop Mark from trying.The doctor regreted his words, he didn't mean for this to happen and didn't know what to do to help, even the oxgyen mask and Mark whose by Seokjin's side, didn't seem to help."Seokjin, please Seokjin, listen to me" Mark tried to get Seokjin's attention again but to no avail as Seokjin blocked his now ringing ears with his hands.The members were frozen and didn't know what to do but Namjoon couldn't take this any more, it hurt so bad to see their hyung like this, he took a deep breath before moving towards Seokjin's direction, closing the distance between them.Namjoon was nervous but it wasn't the time to let nervousness stop him from helping his hyung, he needed to do something."Seokjin-hyung, look at me please" Namjoon softly said as he reached to touch Seokjin's hands "Please hyung, listen to me, you know we love you right? We're here for you and we will always be, You're part of us and we will never leave you alone" Namjoon reassured and lifted Seokjin's damp bangs to give his forehead a gentle kiss "look at me Seokjin hyung, look at my eyes, try focusing on them, can you do that for me please?"Even though seokjin's ears were painfully ringing and he was out of his own control, something about namjoon's sweet voice managed to grab his attention and he looked up at Namjoon's warm eyes, not really focusing on them though.Seokjin clawed at his throat, he couldn't breath and his chest hurt. The fear showed in his eyes as he gasped harder for air, he felt as if something is blocking his airways and it only scared him even more, fearing that he's actually going to die at some point.The nurse noticed this and placed the oxgyen mask back to his face to make breathing easier for him."Hyung, listen to me, i need you to breath and count to ten with me, alright? Can you do that? Come on, try doing it like i do, one...two..." Namjoon said as he gently patted Seokjin's head.Yoongi moved to Seokjin's side and the other members followed after him one by one, now surrounding Seokjin's bed.Jimin patted Seokjin's back in a reassuring manner which fortunately seemed to work a little."O-one...two" Seokjin began to slowly count in a whisper with Namjoon between gasps."Three...four...five" Namjoon counted slowly and Seokjin followed. This method seemed to work as Namjoon noticed that with every number Seokjin said, his gasps decreased and his breathing became more steadier."Six...seven...eight" Namjoon felt seokjin's body relax a little and thanked god that he read about those things before out of curiosity."Nine...ten" Seokjin who followed after Namjoon finished and took a deep breath "You did great Seokjinnie hyung, everything is alright, all of us are here hyung so just continue breathing like this, breath in and out, alright?" Namjoon said and Seokjin gave a small nod that you would miss if you weren't focusing on him,It was still evident that Seokjin wasn't fully calm, blinking lashes heavy with tears and body trembling a little but it was also evident that he's better.Jungkook whose crying hugged Seokjin as soon as Namjoon stopped patting Seokjin's head, he wanted to do this since he thought Seokjin left them the other day and didn't want to waste his chance now."H-hyung...hyung, I'll...never allow you to be anywhere but here with us" Jungkook Whispered into Seokjin's ear, blowing puffs of warm air into it, making Seokjin relax into the hug and rest his chin on Jungkook's shoulder.The members watched them with the urge to do the same, but prevented themselves, they didn't want to suffocate him with a hug all at once.Seokjin's head hurt, he closed his eyes and continued sniffling a little, he felt very exhausted so Jungkook's warm hug and gentle pats on the back were more than welcome to make him feel better.He took a double breath as he tried to calm his own heart down while repeating 'I'm alive' and 'I'm not dead' in his head, he knew he was safe here with all of his brothers but being told that he died took him completely off guard.They stayed like this for almost five minutes until exhaustion started to slowly pull seokjin into deep sleep again, making his body fully relax against Jungkook's, a sign for Jungkook to pull away and lay his hyung down.The nurse sighed before smiling at the boys, he stood next to Namjoon and gave him a pat on the shoulder "You did so great I was surprised, I'm glad he's got people like you guys by his side" Mark stopped and got closer to whisper to in his ear "He's a newbie, don't hate on him too much, I recommend requesting for another doctor though."Namjoon only nodded and smiled, he didn't need the nurse's advice to know that they should stop dealing him.Mark moved his attention to the Jiho "Now doctor, how about we have a small talk outside?" Mark said as he moved and pulled the doctor who was frozen by his hand to get him moving.The members sighed when the door closed and Namjoon waited a little before talking "We need to ask for another doctor to take care of hyung""Yeah, That's something i believe we all want" Yonngi said as he sat back on the chair next to Seokjin's bed."The hell was wrong with that doctor anyway? Like, wasn't it obvious that Seokjin didn't look too good? How can he not know that he shouldn't talk about something as sensitive as that? He was unnecessarily annoying and unprofessional" Yonngi growled and glared at nothing."The nurse said he's a newbie but that's not an excuse for him. I'm going to talk to the manager now" Namjoon said."Yeah but what about the nurse? He seemed good right?" Hoseok asked."Yeah, he was quite helpful and nice, no need to say anything about him" Jimin said as he leaned and wiped the tears off Seokjin's cheeks.Namjoon nodded in agreement before he left the room to call the manager.They all stayed standing around Seokjin's bed in silence except for Yoongi and Jimin who pushed a chair to Seokjin's side."He looks tired" Jimin whispered as he caressed Seokjin's left hand."Of course he's tired, he literally drowned and had two panic attacks on the same day and same hour, he needs to rest" Yoongi whispered, none of them seemed to want to make too much noise and accidentally wake their resting hyung."I have to admit though, that was scary, I've never seen him like this before" Hoseok said, remembering what happened."Yeah, I don't think any of us did" Yoongi sighed.___Namjoon came back thirty minutes later, he told them that, that doctor won't work with them anymore and instead, a Doctor named Lee Jong Suk will be the one to take care of Seokjin and they'll be introduced to him tomorrow morning.An hour passed in silence and staring at nothing or their phones before someone knocked on the door and opened it.A girl nurse with slightly red cheeks came in and greeted them, she told them that visiting hours are over and that only one person is allowed to stay while the others needed to go home but the members didn't want to and started trying to convince the nurse to let them stay at least just for tonight.The nurse kept her head down as she talked to them and tried to tell them no, they gussed she's a fan from the way that she's avoiding their eyes and blushing so Jungkook took that to his advantage and tried making puppy eyes at her, which seemed to do the trick as she sighed and allowed two more people to stay, saying that they shouldn't make too much noise or they will be asked to leave.They all thanked her before she left and decided after a small discussion that Jungkook, Yoongi and Namjoon are the ones who are going to stay.---It was nine in the morning when the members who went back to the dorm returned to the hospital, they were all given a week off to rest and stay with Seokjin while he takes his time to recover, so in this week, bts were free to come and go whenever and wherever they wanted.They entered Seokjin's room quietly and smiled when they saw Yoongi and Jungkook cuddling in their sleep on the couch while Namjoon is sleeping on the chair closest to Seokjin's bed with his arms crossed against his chest.Namjoon woke up almost as soon as they entered the room and after twenty minutes, Jungkook woke up too and accidentally pulled Yoongi out of his sweet sleep when he moved to stand and go to the restroom.The only one who is yet to wake up was Seokjin.An hour later of them eating breakfast, lazing around and talking about random stuff, the Doctor they were yet to see finally entered the room with their manager.They were all a little astonished by his beauty, He had brown hair, gentle brown eyes and a sweet smile on his face but beauty doesn't mean professional so they had to see how he worked first before they judged him.

He introduced himself as Lee Jong Suk which they already knew "I'll be the one to tend to Mr kim from now on. You can call me by anything you're comfortable with or just Doctor lee if you want." The Doctor gave a small smile and fixed his glasses."How's his condition Doctor? Can you tell us how long it'll take until he recovers?" Yoongi asked, wanting to hear what the doctor knew.Jong Suk looked at his clipboard before talking "You don't need to worry, He's alright and stable, doesn't have any serious injuries so he won't take a lot of time to recover. Let me tell you that most people who nearly drowned before, suffered from cervical spine injuries, which Seokjin doesn't seem to have or PTSD which means post traumatic stress disorder, it's a mental health condition that's triggered by a terrifying event, but hopefully he doesn't have it, we can know from either soon or far future events." The Doctor looked at everyone present in the room before he started talking again "I've been told that Mr kim woke up with a panic attack and got another one when my fellow colleague mentioned something that you guys should try to avoid talking about since he seems to be really sensitive about that topic because this can lead to Ppanic Disorder" They all nodded "So back to answering your question, He's going to recover just fine. A couple of days here will be the beginning of his recovery but most of it will be at home because his shoulder, walking pneumonia and his ankle will only need rest and the medication that we're giving him and if everything is good, he will be fully recovered within two weeks or so." The doctor flipped a page from the papers on his clipboard "That's for his physical health but for his mental health, i think he should meet a therapist if he gets more panic attacks or wakes up again in the same way" The doctor finished.The members hummed at the Doctor's words."Umm...I have a questions if you don't mind" Namjoon said."Not at all, go ahead" The Doctor smiled."Uhh well, can you tell us about how we Should act around Seokjin hyung? Because i believe we all don't want to do or say anything that could hurt him in anyway""Just try to act normal and as i told you, try not to bring up what happened a lot and distract him with anything not related to it so that he could have positive thoughts and not develop PTSD, also try to stay with him as much as you can." The doctor said and looked at Seokjin, then back at the members."Got any more questions?"The members looked at each other before Namjoon said no and thanked Jong suk who told them to come to him if they need anything and soon left with a smile.Namjoon gave a long sigh and rested on the chair closest to Seokjin."He Sounds great to me" Hoseok said as he also moved to take a seat."Yeah, not to mention he looks good too" Taehyung said what they all thought about before and Yoongi rolled his eyes cause he didn't think anyone will say it out loud."He talks a lot though""It only shows he knows what he's doing jungkook" Namjoon smiled and Jungkook nodded. ---- 'Why is it so dark?' Was Seokjin's first thought as he opened his eyes to complete drakness, his head hurt and his body felt so awfully cold, he didn't know where he is and didn't try to move out of tiredness even though he hated being in the dark.A second later, he realized that he's not laying on a mattress but instead, cold wood, it was uncomfortable and as cold as his body so he sighed and tried to get up, but as soon as he tried, his head bumped into the same cold wood as the one he's laying on, he felt his surroundings but there was nothing more than flat wood and no space to even sit up.He wasn't sure of where he is or what's happening at first but as he continued to feel his surroundings, he remembered the accident and it clicked to him."H-huh?!? No no i-it can't be, it can't be." Seokjin felt fear and panic run through his cold body and blood "W-why!? Why am i here?! I'm n-not d-dead, this is not true, it can't be true"He searched for something to help him get out, a hole, a phone, a bell, anything at all, but as you would expect, there was nothing. He heared noises and tried to foucs on them and sure he's not imagining stuff or hoing crazy but all he heard was crying. Seokjin felt the place he's in move as if someone is carrying him and then suddenly stop moving again and that's when he heard screams from outside saying "No! Stop! Bring him back! please don't bury him Please please no, Stop it!" And that's when it hit him hard that it's all true and he started crying, screaming and begging the people outside to hear him and help him "Tae! Please! Tae I'm not dead! I'm not dead! I'm alive! I'm still alive please! Tae, get me out, get me out of here please!" Seokjin screamed as loud as he could and started banging on the wood in hope someone would hear him and get him out.He tried to push the wood above him because that's the only part that should be movable since he realized that he is still not buried down in the ground but it didn't budge even the slightest as if it's locked.He cried and screamed but no one seemed to hear him even though he's able to hear them and he thought for a second that they're ignoring him but soon enough that thought vanished as all the noises started getting blocked and turned into nothing but terrifying silence and his own screaming and crys that called for help endlessly while he banged on the wood that now had a reddish color on it."Get me out! Please! No! No! No! No! Don't leave me! Please don't leave me! I'm still here! Please!" Seokjin tried again but to no avail, feeling his heart pounding out of his chest and his body shaking uncontrollably. He felt the walls of the wood start shrinking around him and the oxgyen leave him "No...please...I-I..don't want to die p-please, please, please no" He cried and begged god or anyone to help him but nothing seemed to work."please.." The tears never stopped from falling and the fear never left him, he felt like he was choking even though he was not, seokjin was scared, so scared and terrified he couldn't bear it."Why...why is this happening to me? WHY?!" Seokjin cried and out of nowhere, cold water slowly start to fill the small place and he panicked more, he started kicking and banging on the wood again as strong as he could, even though he was exhausted and had no energy in him, not caring when it hurt him until he could no longer move when the place filled completely with water, choking him for real now. He felt death come to get him, he knew it, he felt this before and he was going to die, he felt it... so he screamed, screamed for his life and in a blink of an eye, bright light replaced the darkness.Seokjin blinked a couple of times at the sudden bright lighting, tears dripping down his face as he did so "Am i..dead?" He mumbled his thoughts as he felt sweat running down his body and his heart beat in his chest, he felt the soft mattress under him and the warm heat his body is emitting and the oxgyen that he's breathing, he was focused on his senses when he heard his name being called, it was a familiar sound that called him again and again, he looked at the direction of it and there stood Yoongi who he didn't realize is holding his hand and his other brothers who are either calling his name or staring at him worriedly with teary eyes.He looked at them and blinked one more time before he realized a few moments later what's happening, he realized that it was all just a nightmare, it was slightly different but it was still the same horrible nightmare, one that he won't be able to get out of his mind or forget, it was his second time seeing it and he feared that it will hunt him every time he sleeps.He squeezed yoongi's hand and sat up, wiping the tears that are still flowing out of his eyes away with his sleeves and trying to calm himself down and steady his breathing. They watched as Seokjin pulled Yoongi closer to him by his hand and rested his head on his chest in a hug as he cried softly, not thinking of removing the oxgyen mask as he did so."D-on't..l-leave me" Seokjin choked out from his trembling lips.Yoongi's heart tugged a little at how melancholy seokjin sounded."Shhh, It's okay, we're here for you, we won't leave you" Yoongi whispered to Seokjin as he patted his back.Seokjin continued to cry softly into yoongi's shirt, drenching it with his salty tears as his shoulders continued to shack with fear, he tried so hard to stop himself but couldn't.Even though Seokjin knew that the dream isn't true, he was still terrified by how real it felt, so real he actually thought he died when he woke up."It's okay Seokjin hyung. I know you're having such a hard time so cry as much as you need, we'll stay here with you and won't leave." Yoongi reassured when he felt Seokjin shake a lot im his hold even though his crys are small as if he's forcing himself to muffle them through his shirt and just as Yoongi finished talking, Seokjin's crys got a little louder.It was painful to see him like this, but all Yoongi could do now is hold him in silence and rock him slowly back and forth as he continued patting his back.A few minutes passed until Seokjin's crys stopped and his breathing started to even out, finally calming down. He felt embarrassed by all the crying he did but no more than thankful for Yoongi and his other brothers for being with him right now, they were all he needed.

Seokjin broke the hug slowly and looked at them all and then down at the blankets, he didn't know what to say."Better?" Yoongi asked and Seokjin nodded, he attempted to wipe his cheeks from all the tear stains but winced in pain as he tried to clench his right hand, he didn't notice that it was bandaged until now and wondered why it hurt before he remembered how he clutched the rock that he wished didn't break so hard it injured him."You alright hyung?" Hoseok asked, pulling seokjin away from that memory."My hand hurts a little" Seokjin whispered and coughed a little."You've got some cuts and scratches on your hand, but don't worry, it will heal in no time" The doctor they knew as Lee Jung Suk said as he made his way to Seokjin's bed side. Seokjin lifted his head slowly and was meet with a smile of a handsome man who he guessed is a doctor."I apologize that i didn't say anything but i was here almost the whole time, your friend was doing great in helping so i didn't think that more help was needed" The Doctor said as he rubbed his neck a few times.Seokjin just nodded at the doctor as to say that it's okay. The Doctor smiled again and introduced himself to Seokjin."How would you like me to address you?" Doctor lee asked and Seokjin just told him to call him by his name."Alright Seokjin, It's already two in the afternoon so it's good you're awake, you need to eat to get your energy back, so i hope you'll enjoy the food the hospital will be giving you" Seokjin didn't say anything, he didn't want to eat hospital food nor was he hungry, he also didn't know that he had been sleeping for more than ten hours until now, which is great cause no one in bangtan got to sleep this much while preparing for a comeback."Alright, so i actually came here for two reasons, first to check on you and second to know what you think about something but i think that can wait, just rest and I'll come back later when you feel better""No..it's okay, you can talk to me now" Seokjin said, curious."Are yoy sure?" Jong suk asked and Seokjin nodded."So i wanted to know what you think about having an appointment with a therapist this week when you feel more better? and before you ask why, we just want to make sure that you're fully healthy and help you recover from anxiety and anything that's troubling you, almost every person with a similar condition of yours needs a therapist for a while.""Uhh...I don't think i want a therapist though" Seokjin unsurely said.The Doctor quirked an eyebrow "Why do you say that?"Seokjin fiddled with the fabric of the blanket as he coughed a little, he didn't really think of a specific reason, he just didn't like the idea of meeting a therapist."Just...um..I'm fine, i don't think a therapist is needed.""A therapist will help in the progress of your recovery, they will talk to you and make you feel better, just try going to two appointments at least and then if you're sure you don't need one, you won't have more appointments, how about that?"Seokjin opened his mouth to reply but stayed silent as he thought about it 'Can a therapist really help?' Seokjin thought, he didn't want to share his nightmare or worrys and pain with anyone, at least not yet "I..I'll think about it" Seokjin said and the doctor nodded.

"Umm can i remove this? It's uncomfortable" Seokjin asked, pointing at the oxgyen mask that annoyed him."I'd rather you don't but you can but if you feel like your having any trouble breathing, put it back on immediately and tell me" the doctor directed the last sentence to not only seokjin but also to the boys.Seokjin smiled and immediately took it off, sighing in what looked like relief."Anything else?" The Doctor asked and Seokjin nodded and said 'Yes' The Doctor told him to go ahead and tell him what he wanted."Um..Can i..also get this removed? I don't think it's necessary, is it?" Seokjin said as he pointed at the heart monitor."Actually the necessity of it is always different for patients with cases like yours but just to give extra care, we'll keep it...also your friends here look more comfortable with it" The doctor said and the members hid their faces as if admitting what he said.Seokjin hated the device, he felt as if all of his emotions are on display, whether he's calm or nervous, but he wasn't going to try and ask the doctor again, at least not today, if he can keep the worry away from his brothers, then waiting for tomorrow isn't going to hurt."Alright then, if you need anything, just tell me, I'll be more than happy to help" The Doctor smiled and left the room quietly after they thanked him. "Whose idea was it to change the doctor?" Seokjin asked a few moments later after the Doctor left, not wanting the room to fall into awkward silence as he layed back."Namjoon mentioned it first but we all were already thinking of doing that anyway" Hoseok said."Well, even the nurse adviced me to do that, he said that the doctor from before is a newbie.""Honestly, he was really annoying...so thanks for doing something about him" Seokjin gave half a smile and looked at the ceiling.A moment later, the nurse they knew as Mark came in with a tray full of hospital food.He smiled at Seokjin before placing the food on the hospital bed tray and bringing it close to seokjin and positioning seokjin's bed so he's sitting with his back still resting on the mattress. "I hope you enjoy the food and finish it all, you haven't eaten anything since yesterday so you must be hungry, right? First drink water and then start eating" The nurse said as he tucked his hands in pockets.Seokjin looked at the nurse and then at the food, the tray contained mashed potatoes and white roll, eggs, yogurt and a carton of juice and water, the food is okay but he didn't want to eat, will he be allowed to eat later though? Or will they force him? how was he even going to eat when his hand hurts by only trying to close it? He's not left handed and will surely make a mess."Is there something wrong with the food?" Mark asked, cutting Seokjin's train of thoughts when he started to glare at the food as if it offended him."Uh..nothing. Just..I'm not really hungry right now""Really?... But you need to drink a lot of clean water and you do realize food is important to keep you going, right? You need to eat even if just a little" Mark thought that maybe seokjin is lying to him about not being hungry because he's stressed or not comfortable, but he couldn't tell if he's really lying or not.Seokjin really didn't want to eat right now but he could force himself to eat a bit to not worry anyone."Um... I'll just drink water for now and maybe eat a little?" Seokjin unsurely said.The nurse smiled "That's better, tell me when you're done or you can just leave the food on the table if you feel like you'll eat more later"Seokjin nodded and the nurse left.He looked at the food again, not sure if he should really eat or not."The food doesn't look bad, i thought it would be worse" Yoongi said as a kind of encouragement, thinking that maybe he didn't like it and Seokjin nodded again.They all waited in silence for Seokjin to start eating but he never did until Hoseok spoke up "you're not going to eat?" He asked."I will" Seokjin said as he reached for the water, he drank a few sips before he started coughing, feeling it burn in his throat because it's the first thing he swallowed after the accident "Are you alright?" Taehyung asked.Seokjin just nodded and held the spoon with his uninjured hand that had the IV attached to it and filled half of the spoon with mashed potato, he rised it but some of it fell back to the plat and after a few more tries, he succeeded in keeping the food in the spoon, but not angling it right to put it in his mouth, Seokjin groaned in annoyance and let go of the spoon, finally giving up."You're cute hyung, let me help you" Namjoon laughed and Seokjin blushed a little at being called cute.Namjoon sat on the chair next to Seokjin and took hold of the spoon "Don't hesitate to ask for help hyung, we'll be more than happy to do whatever you want""Thanks" Seokjin glared down at his food, he felt as if he's a bother, he's supposed to be the eldest, he's supposed to be the one who takes care of them, but look at him now, needing help with a simple task like eating.Namjoon filled the spoon with the food before raising his hand "tcho tcho, open up your mouth the train is on the way, say ahhh" Namjoon joked and the members laughed, making Seokjin's ears turn red and push the thoughts of being a bother to the back of his mind."So embarrassing" Seokjin mumbled as he looked away and hid his face with his left hand."Aww, so cute, don't be embarrassed hyung I'm just joking, come on your mouth" And this time Seokjin obeyed with a pout but Namjoon just did the train sound again when the food was already in his mouth and showed his dimples when he laughed.Seokjin had a hard time swallowing the food, it burned more than the water did, he tried to ignore it but couldn't so he started coughing again.The members looked at Seokjin in pity, everytime he coughed they felt uncomfortable because they couldn't do anything to help him get better other than shower him with love and care.Seokjin took two more bites and drank another glass of water before telling Namjoon that he couldn't eat more, he didn't want the food to go to waste but also didn't have the appetite to eat right now.Namjoon didn't want to pressure Seokjin or force him to eat more so he nodded in understanding and moved the hospital tray to the corner of the room."Let's just keep the food here in case you get hungry any time soon" Namjoon said.Seokjin didn't think he'll get hungry but didn't say anything about it. ----

They talked and laughed and the atmosphere of the room couldn't get better.

It was 5 pm when Seokjin started to fidget in his place a little as Taehyung showed him puppy pictures that army said Yoongi looks like when he's pouting.

"Something wrong hyung?" Namjoon asked.

"Uh..i need to use the bathroom" Seokjin said, but he didn't know how he's going to do that with the IV and heart monitor attached to him.

"Ohh.. Why didn't you say so earlier, let's just call the nurse" Namjoon came closer to Seokjin's bed and pressed the button on the side, a few moments passed before the nurse came into the room.

"Anything i can help with?" Mark asked.

"Yes, Seokjin hyung needs to use the bathroom" Namjoon answered for seokjin.

"Alright, let me just disconnect the Iv and the monitor" Mark came closer and held Seokjin's left arm. He easily disconnected to IV without causing any pain to Seokjin then the heart monitor.

"Be careful when you stand up, your ankle isn't healed yet, It will will hurt to walk" The nurse said as he removed the blanket for Seokjin and held his hand to help him stand.Seokjin accepted the help even though he didn't think that he needed it to stand but was proved wrong when he felt sudden pain shot through his ankle and his leg as he stood up, he groaned in pain and tightened his grip on the nurse's hand.

"Are you alright?" The nurse asked.

"Y-yeah"

"Just lean on your right side and I'll help you walk, alright?"

Seokjin nodded and was grateful that there is a bathroom attached to the room, he didn't know until now that the sprain got worse, he guessed it's because of the accident.

He limped his way to the bathroom with the help of mark and sighed when he finally reached it.

As soon as Seokjin entred the bathroom, the nurse left the room and came back after a while with an ice pack.

Another minute passed and Seokjin came out, the nurse helped him back to the bed and when he was placed on it, he connected the devices again and placed the ice pack on his ankle. Seokjin thanked him for all the help, making the nurse smile. His face become a little gloomy when Mark left, he hated that it hurt so much just to stand and hated it even more that he needed help with it, he felt sad and pitiful.

"I'm sorry hyung" Taehyung softly said and seokjin looked at him with confusion, not understanding why he's apologizing.

"I..if i didn't follow you around with that grasshopper...if i didn't agree on taking that picture for you... you wouldn't have injured yourself, wouldn't have to deal with any of this, we would be at home or practice, not at a hospital... it's my fault." Taehyung looked down as he blamed himself for his hyung's pain.

"I'm...really sorry" He said, tears threatening to fall.

"Don't say that Taehyung, it's not your fault, we were having fun and that rock ruined everything, my ankle didn't actually hurt as much as now so i guess..what happened made it worse but really it's not your fault so don't blame yourself, It'll get better in no time" Seokjin smiled to reassure Taehyung that it's fine "B-but I-" Taehyung tried but Seokjin interrupted him with "No buts Tae, i said it's not your fault alright? Please don't think about it like that" and Taehyung's heart didn't allow him to say anything when he looked up and saw his hyung's beautiful smile so he just came closer and kissed him on his cheek before telling him to get better soon.

Seokjin felt his cheeks heat up a little at the act but continued smiling, making the members smile too.

---

"Why did you leave my phone? What if i get bored" Seokjin whined and pouted when visiting hours ended and they needed to leave.

"You won't get bored hyung, you have Jimin and Namjoon and me, we'll keep you company" Hoseok said.

"I want my phone anyway, please Taehyung don't forget to bring it with you tomorrow" Seokjin told his dongsaeng again, still pouting.

"Aish hyung, who could say no to you? I won't forget" Taehyung waved to them and sent flying kisses as goodbye before he closed the door and left the last.

It was 11 pm when Seokjin sighed and closed his eyes as he let Namjoon adjust the bed back to its normal position.

"You're sleepy hyung?" Namjoon asked.

Seokjin hummed before saying "kinda" and opening his eyes to stare at the white ceiling.

"What about you?" Seokjin asked and Namjoon gave the same answer.

Seokjin gussed that namjoon wanted to watch over him until he goes to sleep.

"Look at Hoseok and Jimin though, they're sleeping soundly, Jimin's so cute when he sleeps" Namjoon whispered as he looked at Jimin's sleeping figure.

"Cuter than me?" Seokjin joked with a pout and Namjoon laughed.

"You're the cutest hyung" Namjoon whispered and Seokjin muttered a small "i know"

Seokjin kept staring at the ceiling silently for god knows how many minutes before he focused his gaze on Namjoon whose starting to fall asleep, closing and opening he's eyes multiple times, trying to stay awake but failing as he soon fell asleep on the chair he's sitting on with his head hanged low and arms crossed against his chest just like the night before.

Seokjin sighed and muttered a small "Good night" before he closed his eyes too, sleepy but not really trying to fall asleep.

The room was perfectly silent, no kind of sound could be heard, not even Namjoon's usual snoring or Jimin thrashing in his sleep, no sound of footsteps or cars from outside, not even the air conditioner.

It was as if the world died, he wondered if he got transferred to another dimension because the silence was weird and he didn't feel comfortable with it.

He felt so sleepy and tired, his eyes started closing and opening as he almost fell asleep but woke up again and the same happened until suddenly, his ears started to ring and he groaned, not liking the sound at all, he thought that maybe it's because the place was dead silent.

Even though the the sound annoyed him, he decided to try and ignore it until it stopped but that didn't seem to work as the ringing got painfully loud, he groaned again, a little loudly now as his left hand covered his ear in a useless attempt to stop or block the sound that is in his head.

The painful ringing continued and continued nonstop, making Seokjin shift and change his position on the bed multiple times, it made him a little nervous, why are his ears ringing?

He figured he can't sleep like this and pressed the button on his side to call the nurse or who ever came to request for pills or anything that could help, he waited for someone to come but no one showed up so he pressed on it again, waited and waited and again, no one came.

He didn't want to bother namjoon with his problem but the ringing became painfully unbearable to the point his head started hurting so he sat up to wake him but was surprised when he didn't find him. Seokjin felt confused and more nervous now, he's sure Namjoon never woke up or moved from his place, he looked at the couch and neither Jimin nor hoseok were there, he looked around the room and found no one, he was completely alone.

For how long?

When did they leave?

Why did they leave?

Seokjin was scared now, there is no way they left without telling him...unless they thought he fell asleep and went home.

Unless they no longer wanted to stay with him.

He heard whispers and turned his head towards the sound, it was coming from outside of his room's door.

"N-namjoon" Seokjin called but no one answered.

"Namjoon, you there?"He asked a little loudly and the whispers stopped, he closed his eyes shut and opened them again, tears gathered in them now.

Seokjin took a deep breath before he disconnected the iv and the monitor from him self like the nurse did before and stood up, he tried not to put much pressure on his leg as limped his way to the door.

'They said they won't leave me, I'm sure they're talking to the doctor outside' Seokjin thought to make himself feel better.

The ringing in his ears started going down as he got closer to the door and it completely stopped when he touched the handle and opened it.

Seokjin was only able to take a fast look from the edge before he was pushed from behind to the black sea under him, he fell down fast, but instead of hitting the water, he hit the ground harshly but not enough to kill him as if he jumped from a second floor bed, hitting his head as it came in contact with the cold ground and opening his eyes to complete darkness.

Seokjin lifted his head up only for it to bump into flat wood, he felt his surroundings and realized that he's blocked from all sides.

"T-this can't be" seokjin muttered as he realized that this is the same scenario as his nightmares, he doesn't remember falling asleep and it scared him, is this a dream? He wanted to believe that it is because It couldn't be anything else unless he's hallucinating.

And just like last time, he heard noises from outside, but when he focusd on them, he didn't hear crys, he heard his brothers talking normally.

"It's better like this"

"At least now we don't have to take care of him"

"Right...he was such a bother honestly, i hated staying at the hospital with him, i didn't even want to feed him"

"You could've just ignored him like us you know?"

"I had to do it and lookd nice so he doesn't suspect anything"

"He would have gotten out on the third day have Doctor Jiho not injucted him with the wrong medicine, we could've avoided all the pain in the ass, I told you Namjoon, convince the manager to change the doctor but you didn't listen."

"Yeah, just because of that we had to deal with him being sick for damn long three months and he died anyway in the end, he could've just died from the beginning, It was really tiring to pretend and put a smile in front hi-"

Seokjin didn't notice the tears that left his eyes as he listened to his brothers talk. He knew this wasn't real but it was the voices of the people he loved the most who said these words, words that he feared he would hear and it painfully hurt him, it really did "Just bury his coffin already" he heard someone say and he couldn't help but let loud sobs escape him. Was he that much of a bother? Was taking care of him really that annoying? Did they even really care about him? They were just pretending all along, they didn't love him back, they never did.

The place started to fill with hot water that boiled his skin but he didn't bother calling for help as it suffocated and burned him slowly, nothing was more painful than hearing these words come out of the mouths of the people he loved and wished would love him the same.

His heart stopped and he opened his eyes again.

Seokjin blinked a couple of times before he sat up, his head hurting, tears dripping on his chin and the blanket, he looked around the room to see his brothers still sleeping just like before, he silently cried and hugged his kness, ignoring the pain in his shoulder and ankle, he just wanted to cry right now, he didn't want to bother anyone.

He let his mind go back to what he heard his brothers say about him, he knows it's not real but what if they really felt like that in real life? did they really feel that he's a bother? They were obviously not happy to be at the hospital, who would be? He's even stopping them from practice. Should he just tell them to leave or ask them about it? Seokjin kept wondering and let the words he heard repeat in his mind until he believed they're real.

It Felt as if black clouds are passing whenever he remembers the accident and the nightmare that always ended up with him being trapped in a coffin and he thought about it, why a coffin? Was it a sign that he's going to die soon? Or was he not supposed to come back to life and that was the fate that he escaped? Seokjin let a sob escape him as he thought about death and started coughing a little every now and then, he didn't know how to deal with himself, his head is pounding painfully and he felt really miserable and pitiful, he was a mess.

Seokjin felt a hand touch his hair and he flinched, making the hand back away, he lifted his head to see Namjoon looking at him worridely with his hand hanging in the air.

"Hyung, What's wrong?" Namjoon asked in his deep gentle voice and seokjin shook his head as he tucked it back down.

"Does it hurt somewhere?" Seokjin shook his head again.

"What's wrong hyung? Let me help you" Namjoon said as he sat on the bed next to Seokjin to be closer and hesitated before he started patting his head gently, he figured out before that Seokjin feels better when someone pats him while he's crying.

"N-namjoon" Seokjin called and Namjoon hummed to let him know that he's listening before saying "What is it hyung?"

Seokjin stayed silent as his shoulders shook and when Namjoon thought he wouldn't say anything he spoke.

"A-Am i...a b-bother?" Seokjin stuttered between hiccups.

"No, no you're not hyung, why would you think that? you're never a bother" Namjoon said calmly.

"D-don't lie to me" Seokjin whispered and namjoon came closer to him.

"I'm not lying hyung, none of us think that you're a bother, we all love you so much and we're more than willing to be here with you"

Seokjin lifted his head up as he heard namjoon say these words confidently.

"M-more t-than willing? You're Funny...I'm sure you would...feel better..i-if i just d-died. You wouldn't ha-"

"What are you saying hyung?!" Namjoon interrupted him a little too loud, making Seokjin flinch "Please don't say that again hyung, don't even think about it, no one would feel better...it's the complete opposite...you know hyung, the time you left us...when we saw the man trying to bring your heart to work again while we just stood there helplessly crying...we thought we lost you hyung and you know how that made us feel? do you know j-just how terrifying that was?! do you know how sad and heart broken we were?!..and do you know how relieved we were when you came back to us hyung?..You don't but believe me when i say we can't live without you, never" Namjoon softly said, his voice filled with emotions as he tried to put his thoughts and feelings into words, he held himself together and blinked his tears away, not wanting seokjin to feel worse if he cried with him.

Namjoon wiped the tear that left seokjin's eyes only for another one to fall and smiled.

"Do you you believe my words?"

Seokjin hiccupped before biting down on his lower lip to stop any voices from coming out of him, he trusted Namjoon's words, he never lied to him.

"Don't do that" Namjoon said as he looked at Seokjin's lips to let him know what he's talking about.

"I..believe you a-and I'm really thankful, you're words mean so much to me" Seokjin matured and Namjoon smiled again.

"Great...cause hyung...we love you and nothing will ever change that"

Seokjin's body felt warm at namjoon's words "I love you guys too" he said as he held namjoon's and coughed.

Namjoon smiled and continued patting Seokjin's head until he calmed down more

"So..umm hyung would you like to tell me what made you think like that?" Namjoon asked and seokjin slowly pulled him into a soft hug.

Seokjin closed his eyes and took a deep breath that made his chest feel tight and he started coughing again, it continued for a few moments before it stopped and he tiredly reached for the water that Namjoon handed him.

He softly apologized to Namjoon who told him that there was nothing to be sorry about before he hugged him again.

"I...it's just..all in my mind...whenever i sleep...i-i have this n-nightmare...always ending in the same way...always me i-in a c-coffin, i-its horrible, suffocating, so dark as if I'm blind...and i never get out...no matter how much i banged and screamed and cried, no one ever heared me...i always hear you g-guys crying over me...b-but tonight... it was d-different" Seokjin hiccuped between words as he opened up to Namjoon. His eyes closed shut as he talked while namjoon patted his head and listened.

"Y-you guys said ...that it's better like this...t-that i-i should have d-died earlier, said that taking care of me is a bother...a burden" Seokjin shacked his hand as he continued to talk "as...if you didn't care...i was in control of the dream, i knew it's not real...b-but what if...that's actually how you guys really felt? I know i caused trouble...I know we're not practicing for our come back because of me and i shouldn't act like this but I..can't help it, i really can't stop thinking about it..i-i just can't and i hate it, i hate it, i hate how real it sounded and i hate that I'm being like this, i really hate it!" Seokjin cried a little harder into namjoon's shoulder, still refusing to open his eyes.

Namjoon was clueless about what to say, he felt so bad for his hyung, the dream sounded horrible and he was sure there was more to it but he decided against asking about it "But I'm here now, right? I'm the real Namjoon you're talking to here and i already said it, we love you hyung, we always will and we don't think of you as a bother at all. You're the sweetest hyung ever, you took care of us and did a lot for us, we're just doing the same for you, you don't need to feel bad about anything, you shouldn't let that nightmare mix with reality, you need to fight it and know that we're here to help you with it and it's okay to act like this, you've been through a lot so it's only reasonable. When you need to cry or wonder about something that is troubling you, don't keep it to your self, you have six shoulders to lean on and six ears that are willing to listen to your worries and help you so just believe what we, your real brothers say and not the ones in your dream, alright hyung?" Namjoon tried to say everything that came to his mind, he knows words don't always help but he hoped that what he said does even though he's not sure if these words were what Seokjin wanted to hear.

Seokjin only muttered a small thank you, he felt the love in namjoon's pats that made him feel better, he felt the truth in the words he said and Seokjin was reassured that he's loved and that he wasn't a bother, that they were willing to take care of him even if he didn't tell them to, he also felt stupid, for mixing his dream with reality.

"I don't know what I'd do without you guys" Seokjin whispered and Namjoon smiled .

"You'll never be without us"

Seokjin smiled.br />
They broke the hug after a while when Seokjin started to cough again.

"It's almost 5 Am hyung, you should rest, you're coughing is getting worse and I'm sure that your body is complaining"

Seokjin sighed, and he had to admit, he was really tired, he didn't feel like he slept and he figured that crying always drained him and tired him.

Namjoon patted his head one last time before he wiped his tear stained cheeks and kissed his forehead after laying him on the bed and tucking him.

Seokjin really needed sleep right now but even though namjoon reassured him and made him feel better, he still felt scared to sleep, fearing that he'll have have another nightmare, be it the same scenario or another one.

"Namjoon" seokjin called for his brother in a whisper.

"What is it hyung?"

Seokjin looked around the room, hesitation evident in his eyes.

"Can we keep tonight between us? I don't want to worry them" Seokjin asked, not knowing that Jimin actually woke up a few minutes earlier as his eyes settled on namjoon who just nodded.

"Sure hyung, Want to say anything else before we go to sleep?" Namjoon asked, noticing how Seokjin stared at him as if he wanted to say something.

"Actually...yes" Seokjin hesitantly said.

"C-can you sleep next to me tonight?" He asked in a whisper wanting to be with someone he felt safe with, he felt a little embarrassed by his request and a little afraid that namjoon would say no or tell him that he didn't want to disturb him.

Namjoon gave Seokjin the brightest smile
"Of course hyung, anything for you"

And Seokjin softly smiled back.

__

Seokjin didn't have any nightmares that night.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

"Take a picture! take a picture! oh my god this is so cute and funny" Hoseok said in a whisper as he started shaking Taehyung's shoulders, asking for Taehyung to do what he wanted.

"Shhh ok ok. they're gonna kill us" Taehyung laughed as he started taking a few pictures with his phone.

"They won't if they don't see them" Yoongi
Whispered.

Jungkook and Jimin just laughed silently, staring at Seokjin, whose hand is draped around Namjoon's waist as his head rested on his chest cutely while Namjoon's arm was also drapped around his back as if in a hug.

"No one talk about this when they wake up and when they don't obey or annoy us, we'll threaten them with this" Hoseok laughed lowly.

"Don't think i can't hear you"

The room fell into silence as Namjoon spoke in his sleepy and deep voice without opening his eyes.

"Wow, you could have told us you're awake" Yoongi said.

"You guys just woke me up with your bad whispering"

Yoongi rolled his eyes "Whatever just get up, it's nine thirty already"

Namjoon yawned before he opened his eyes and looked at Seokjin for a brief moment before he looked around the room, getting a little embarrassed that the others saw them like this and even took pictures he's sure they'll tease them with later even if he tried to stop them.

"Do i wake him or..." Namjoon wondered.

"Maybe just let him sleep more since he looks like he needs it" Jimin said.

Namjoon hummed as a reply and as slow and quietly as he can, he started moving to get out of the bed, moving his numb hand away from behind seokjin's back and trying to push himself away without waking seokjin, but failing as Seokjin whined when he tried to make him rest his head on the pillow instead of his chest.

"Stop...moving" Seokjin pouted in his sleep, making all the members laugh quietly.

"Hyung is cute when he's like this" Jungkook stated and the others agreed.

Namjoon didn't know what to do with himself, does he get up or stay.

He decided to get up, he needed to use the bathroom and didn't want anyone to enter the room and see them like this, especially if it's the Doctor, the members were enough.

Namjoon tried again.

He didn't succeed.

"Stop moving~" Seokjin whined again, moving away from Namjoon to the other side of the bed to get comfortable again and free Namjoon as he tugged at the blankets and pulled them over his neck. "Don't try to wake me up"

"You're gonna have to wake up soon for breakfast anyway" Yoongi said.

Seokjin ignored him as he fell right back to sleep that didn't last more than an hour when he was waken up by the nurse for breakfast and then a check up.

Seokjin was hunrgy this time even though he didn't want to put anything in his stomach yet but he ate half of the food that was on his plate until his stomach said no, and he started coughing.

The doctor finished the morning check up for seokjin, his injuries are healing just fine, the pneumonia wasn't getting worse nor was it getting better, he advised seokjin to drink lots of water, eat and rest.

Seokjin's shoulder and ankle are slowly getting better, he was told to not move his leg too much because it'll surely hurt and that why it'll heal faster.

Seokjin was fine enough to remove the heart monitor, leaving him with the IV and the oxygen mask near him in case it becomes necessary.

The doctor left seokjin's room and the members entered it as soon as he did.

"Hey hyung, how did it go?" Namjoon asked as he took a seat near Seokjin.

Seokjin smiled at his brothers "I'm getting better"

Everyone smiled back at him.

"I think I'll be able to leave soon, there is no need to stay in hospital if my injures will heal the same at home"

"Yeah, but don't think we won't take care of you at home too until you heal" Jungkook said.

"Nah it's okay, ... I'll take care of my self"

"No, we'll take care of you, you just rest so that you get your full energy and health back" Jimin ruffled seokjin's hair softly and smiled.

Seokjin coughed and looked away "It's your break to rest though...i don't want to bother you"

"No hyung, we would be bothered if we don't get to take care of you"

"Alright" Seokjin huffed and remembered Namjoon's words from before and looked at him with a smile that Namjoon returned.

---
The day went as peaceful as you can imagine, nothing unusual in anyone's behavior.

"Tae" Seokjin called and Taehyung moved to his side in a second, making seokjin giggle.

"What is it hyung?"

"My phone" Seokjin simply said, hoping that Taehyung got his phone just like he told him. He watched as Taehyung pulled his phone from his bag and handed it to him "but should you be using your phone when you're still not fully recovered" Taehyung asked.

"Don't worry I'm not a kid and I'm recovering just fine" Seokjin smiled and heard taehying hum.

He unlocked his phone and the first thing that greeted him was the last thing that he used his phone to do, which was obviously the picture that caused all of this mess, he looked at the picture and how perfect and beautiful it looked, just like he imagined it, but what happened after it was the opposite of this peaceful picture, he felt his stomach clench as he continued to look at it with a frown on his face before locking his phone and placeing it next to his pillow, taking a deep breath to get rid of the awful memories and feelings that rushed to him when he saw the picture.

"Is something wrong hyung?" Jimin asked as he grabbed the phone and placed it on the small table next to Seokjin's bed.

"No"

"Are you sure?" Seokjin was oblivious to the fact that his discomfort is evident through his face and clenched hands.

"Yes, I just want to sleep" Seokjin said as he let his eyes relax.

The members stayed silent and just watched their hyung fall asleep again.

The only sound that could be heard in the room is some whispering every now and then and the low sounds of random videos being turned on and off as Taehyung scrolled through Instagram.

Jungkook moved from his seat on the couch after a small talk with Hoseok to get his phone that is next to Seokjin's.

It's a really easy task to do but well, Jungkook didn't expect to trip on his own foot because of his a little oversized boots.

He triped and unconsciously clutched seokjin's bed to prevent himself from falling but instead of the bed, his hand landed on Seokjin's swollen ankle, emitting a cry from Seokjin's who suddenly sat up and jerked his leg from jungkook's hold.

Jungkook instantly felt bad for what he did even though it was an accident, he rushed to his hyung, who is now clutching his ankle and shutting his eyes in pain.

"I-I'm so so sorry hyung, i-i didn't mean to, I'm really sorry" Jungkook apologized as he panicked a little and didn't know what to do.

"It's okay" Seokjin muttered under his breath, still in the same position, he thought he was healing just fine but he was just proved wrong, he guessed that because he didn't use his body a lot, he didn't get to actually feel if anything hurt or not.

The rap line were all standing now, worry evident in their eyes.

"Does it hurt a lot hyung?" Hoseok asked as he came closer to Seokjin, concern written all over his face and started patting his back.

Seokjin took a deep breath and opened his eyes just as the door opened, allowing the nurse Mark to enter after Namjoon pressed on the red button when Seokjin scared him by suddenly sitting up.

"What happened?" Mark asked as he looked at Seokjin and rushed closer to him.

Seokjin loosened his grip on his ankle when mark's voice reached his ears and looked at him.

"I tripped and accidentally grabbed his injured ankle" Jungkook explained to the nurse.

Mark nodded at the explanation "It's okay, it must have hurt, we'll give you Anti-inflammatory pain medications to help reduce the pain" The nurse said as he touched Seokjin's hand to stop him from holding his ankle and Seokjin did just that, allowing the nurse and his members to see the blood that is dripping on the sheets from his arm.

Everyone in the room gasped at the sight of blood except for Seokjin and Mark.

"It's okay" The nurse reassured the worried boys who didn't know what the cause of blood is, they only knew it was coming from Seokjin and it scared them "He must have pulled at the IV, causing his arm to bleed, nothing serious at all" Mark said as he held Seokjin's arm and took a tissue from the table with his free hand to apply pressure to the place his arm is bleeding from.

"Don't pull at the IV like that again, it's not dangerous but your arm might have a little bruise on it"

Mark continued applying pressure to Seokjin's arm for almost a minute until the bleeding finally fully stopped and cleaned the area around the site before taking a small box of plaster with cute childish characters on it from his pocket and placing it on the site. "This cute plaster will have to do since it's the only thing available with me now" the nurse smiled at Seokjin who smiled at the cute characters.

The nurse sighed and looked at the mess of blood, he felt glad that it only dripped on the blanket and Seokjin's shirt because he really didn't want to change all of the bed sheets, he looked around the room and saw all of the boys still standing a little tensely."He's really fine, come on, sit down and let me do my job" All of the boys hesitated before they sat down and watched as Mark took the blanket and went out of the room for a minute before coming back with a new clean one that he placed over Seokjin's lower body, he then helped Seokjin take off his shirt and completely wipe all the blood that was still lift on his arm before he put on a new hospital shirt and placed another IV in his arm and a small pillow under Seokjin's swollen leg and and an ice pack on it.

"All done, be careful next time." Mark looked at Jungkook "and you too Mr Seokjin, try to be careful when you move your arm" he said and gave seokjin a small pill to stop him from feeling any pain and left.

Seokjin took the pill and laid down the way he did before and closed his eyes with a sigh.

Jungkook looked awkwardly at his hyung before he lowered his head to look at his hands that played with his long sleeves nervously.

"I'm sorry hyung" he started again, not knowing what to say other than sorry because he was the reason that Seokjin was in pain.

Seokjin heard the sincerity in Jungkook's voice and sighed again "It's really okay kook, It's not your fault, I overreacted." He said in a flat tone.

"No hyung, it's my fault, your ankle was already injured and i know that the pressure i added was too much, I'm really sorry for what i did " and Jungkook was right, the pressure was too much that Seokjin's ankle feels like it's throbbing, but he couldn't just admit that so he did what he's good at and acted like he wasn't feeling anything to stop anyone from worrying.

"Say sorry again and I'm going to kong fu slap you on the neck" Seokjin said and Jungkook chuckled a bit.Seokjin fell asleep a few minutes later as the pain in his ankle started to decrease with the help of medication and the ice pack.

The members didn't like that he slept too much and it actually worried them a little because seokjin never used to sleep a lot, even on a break, the only explanation to this was that he's actually really tired.

---

Seokjin woke up to the sound of the members laughter at 4 pm, he felt slightly lightheaded and looked around the room with his eyes and saw the maknae line sitting on the couch and laughing at something on jungkook's phone while each member of the rap line kept their eyes lazily on their on phones, not noticing that he woke up.

He gave a sigh of relief when he realized that he didn't dream of anything but he suddenly started coughing, catching the attention of the rap line who just looked at him, not really worried untill the coughing started coming in violent spasms.

Namjoon immediately stood up and helped Seokjin who clutched at his throat to sit up and pat his back, Yoongi stood up too and handed Namjoon a cup of water to give to Seokjin but namjoon who waited a little for his coughing to reduce before he gave it to him.

Seokjin leaned his head back a little and chugged the water down, he felt as if his throat suddenly became too dry and too sore for him to just take a few sips.

He finished the water and coughed a little more before he finally completely stopped and sighed.

"Thanks" Seokjin said in a low hoarse voice as he handed the cup back to Namjoon to place it back on the table and laid down again.

'What a shitty health condition I'm in' Seokjin thought, annoyed with his health.

"You alright hyung?" Hoseok asked and Seokjin gave him a slight nod as he stared at the ceiling, he face a little flushed from all the coughing he did.

Namjoon found it weird when he saw a drop of sweat rolling down seokjin's face, he guessed it was from what just happened but the temperature in the room is perfectly fine and rather a little cool for seokjin to be sweating, he placed his hand on seokjin's forehead without a second thought and frowned when he felt wamer than usual and smiled when seokjin pouted and asked him what he's doing.

"Hyung i think you're having a fever, you're warmer than usual" and as if on cue, a chill ran down seokjin's body, making him shiver.

"Are you for real?" Hoseok's asked in a worried tone as he stood up and touched seokjin's forehead just like what namjoon did.

"You're right, He's warm, should we call the doctor in?" Hoseok asked and continued to feel seokjin's body heat by touching his cheeks and neck."It doesn't look like it's high but let's just call the doctor in because I don't think we sould leave it or let it go higher." Yoongi said and Namjoon pressed on the red button.

"Guys really, It's nothing to worry about" seokjin said.

"We just need to be sure" Namjoon looked at the makneas as the words left his mouth, he expected their eyes to be on their phones and not on them but well, they all cared about Seokjin so it wasn't really a surprise.

A knock on the door was heard before Mark entered the silent room and asked about what they need.

"I think Seokjin hyung has got a fever and i don't think it was there before so it would be great if the doctor can check it" Namjoon explained.

"I understand, I'll call Doctor Lee for you as soon as he's finished with the patient he's got, you'll have to wait a little but i hope you won't mind that" Mark smiled and looked at the watch that's on the wall to check the time before he continued "It shouldn't take long."

Namjoon thanked the nurse and told him that they didn't mind the wait before he left the room.

Seokjin fixed his eyes on the ceiling, he still felt lightheaded since he woke up and now he's sure a headache is on it's way, he knew that his body is warmer than usual because obviously he felt it but didn't think much about it until namjoon did what he did and now he's grateful that the kid is taking care of him and taking notice of the smallest things, it felt nice to be taken care of even if just a little.

---

Exactly 15 minutes passed when the doctor finally knocked on the door of Seokjin's room and entered.

He apologized for making them wait and they told him that it was alright and that they understand before Namjoon told him the same him he told the nurse earlier.

The doctor hummed before he approached Seokjin and asked how he's feeling.

"Fine, I just felt a little lightheaded when i woke up" Seokjin said.

"And when was that?" The doctor asked.

"Umm...about thirty minutes ago i guess"

The doctor turned around to the nurse that no one noticed is standing behind him and told him to get a thermometer for Seokjin and the nurse just nodded and left.

"I'll just check your fever, it shouldn't be high and should disappear on its own in no more than three hours or so. The walking pneumonia is probably the reason behind the fever if it's not a side effect from the medication we're giving you but you don't have to worry, it's a normal thing." The doctor explained and they all nodded.

It hasn't been a minute and the nurse is already back with the thermometer in hand, he handed it to the doctor who smiled at Seokjin before he asked him to open his mouth and place it under his tongue.

There was a beeping sound after a few seconds and seokjim handed it back to the doctor.

"Your temperature is 38.5 C° and the normal body temperature for adults is 37 C° but It's normal in your case and harmless so get some rest and you'll get better, but if you feel like it's getting higher, be sure to inform me and I'll give you something to reduce it, alright?"

'I've been resting since i came here' Seokjin thought and prevented himself from rolling his eyes.

"Alright" Namjoon said and they all nodded.

The doctor and the nurse left the room after that and the boys wondered between each other why the nurse always came with the doctor.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Visiting hours were long over and it was midnight again.

Jimin, Namjoon and Yoongi instead of hoseok were the ones to stay this night.

Seokjin's fever disappeared two hours after the doctor left but it came back a little before midnight.

No one knew that the fever came back though, even seokjin himself didn't since he was already sleeping.

It was around two in the morning when Seokjin woke up again and as soon as he did, he knew that the fever came back again but higher that before, his head hurt and he felt terribly dizzy, sweaty and cold.

Seokjin groaned and tucked his head under the blanket and closed his eyes, hoping that he'll be able to go back to sleep and just get better like a few hours ago.

But what he didn't know is that not all fevers worked that way and instead started feeling worse as the blanket felt like it's suffocating him so he pushed it down and huffed, finally deciding to do something about his fever other than ignoring it. He looked around the room and saw that Namjoon is sitting on the chair next to him and leaning his head that rested on his hands down to seokjin's bed, it didn't look like a comfortable way to sleep and Seokjin felt a little guilty that they had to sleep on a couch or a chair instead of their bed at home because they wanted to stay with him.

Namjoon is sleeping close to seokjin's reach so instead of calling him, Seokjin decided to pat his hair a little before he started poking his left cheek gently to wake him.

Namjoon groaned but didn't move so seokjin just continued poking his face playfully until he finally moved and opened his eyes.

"Mm hyung?" Namjoon said and stretched and little before he checked the time.

"It's still early, is there something wrong?" Namjoon asked as he rubbed the sleep away from his eyes.

"Sorry jonnie...i didn't want to disturb your sleep, it's just-" seokjin was interrupted by a few coughes that decided to leave his throat now and annoy him.

The coughing seemed to wake Namjoon more and he helped Seokjin who felt more dizzy by moving to sit up, he immediately noticed that Seokjin felt hot to the touch and finally noticed his flushed face.

"Hyung, are you having a fever again?" Namjoon placed his hand on Seokjin's forehead and he's one hundred percent sure the fever is back and worse than before "You're hot!"

"Well, yeah...that's why i woke you up. I'm always hot" Seokjin jokes tiredly.

Namjoon rolls his eyes as a small smile appears on his face. He presses the button that he started to hate after he helped Seokjin lay back down. He pitied his hyung as he looked at him, he's already dealing with the accident and his injuries and now a fever? That's too much to deal with.

The same female nurse they saw the other night entered after a few more seconds.

"Is there something i can help with?" She asked.

"Hyung's having a high fever" Namjoon explained.

The nurse looked at Seokjin and told them that she'll take care of him and hurriedly left for a few minutes before she came back again.

The nurse came closer to Seokjin.

"Open your mouth please" She softly said with a slight blush on her face and placed the thermometer in his mouth, making Seokjin feel like a little kid.

The wait for the thermometer to beep was awkward but not long at all.

The nurse took the thermometer from seokjin and looked at it.

"39.4 C°, it's high for a patient with walking pneumonia, I'll talk to the night shift doctor and ask him about what kind of medicine to give you." and the nurse left after that.

"Are you alright hyung?" Namjoon asked and slapped himself mentally for asking a stupid question because obviously he's not alright.

"Uh..not really" Seokjin said and Namjoon smiled before he slapped himself mentally again for expecting him to lie and say that he's alright but all that aside, he felt glad that Seokjin didn't decide to lie.

"Namjoon-ah...why are you guys awake?" Yoongi who they didn't expect to wake up asked.

"Sorry hyung, did we wake you up?"

"It's alright, just..why was the nurse here?" Yoongi asked and moved away from Jimin who was cuddling him in his sleep.

"Hyung's got a fever" Namjoon told him and Yoongi hummed before he opened his mouth again to ask "Is it bad?"

"39.4 C°, it's a lot higher than before, the nurse left to get him pills to reduce it"

Yoongi hums and gets closer to Seokjin to look at him "It's alright hyung, you look like you're hot right now but you'll feel better after the medicine" he tries to reassure Seokjin who wonders if he's really sweating a lot to the point they need to say it out loud and smiles "You guys really think I'm hot huh, it'd be nice to hear that everyday." Seokjin jokes again, not really worried about himself and they both smile "I'm sure the nurse thinks so too" Namjoom says, accidentally admitting that Seokjin looks hot with his face flushed and a little sweaty and a smile finds it way to Seokjin's lips again as the door opens.

Namjoon hopes the nurse didn't hear what he said.

She greets them like before "This will make you feels better and hopefully the your temperature will go back to normal within a few hours" The nurse says.

She hands namjoon the pill and the cold compress when he tells her that they'll take care of him and thanks her before she leaves.Seokjin sits up and takes the medicine with warm water and lays back down, letting namjoom wipe some of the sweat off his face and place the cold compressor on his forehead, Seokjin smiles at him snd mutters a small thanks and Namjoon smiles back, showing his cute dimples.

Yoongi watched as namjoon did everything before they both took a seat next to Seokjin's bed.

The night was long, they talked a little or stared at the wall or each other silently. The two rappers continued to watch over their hyung and wipe the sweat that kept on coming back evey now and then from his face and neck until he fell asleep an hour later. They stayed up a little more until the need to sleep took over their bodies and they slept on their seats, heads resting on each other.

When the rest of the members came to the hospital, they were worried, but as the nurse continued to check on seokjin in his sleep every hour, they were relieved to hear that the fever was slowly going down until it finally disappeared.

Seokjin felt better when he woke up in the morning, no cills, no sweating, the fever completely gone and while he talked to him members and assured them that he's fine, he noticed that he felt better than before the fever, his voice is normal again and he wasn't coughing as hard, he wondered if the fever was actually a way for his body to relax but when the doctor checked him he didn't say anything like that so he ignored the thought. He was told that he was indeed getting better in the case of his walking pneumonia but it would still take some time, at least a week until it's fully gone and the same goes for his ankle and shoulder, depending on how much he continues to rest and not add too much pressure on any of them. Seokjin was also told that he is fine enough to go and continue to rest at home as long as he takes his medication on time for a week or two.

___

Seokjin felt happy, he couldn't wait for the sun to set and go back home, he wanted nothing more than to leave and take a shower and sleep on his comfy bed, it was evident to everyone that he's in a good mood because of what the doctor told him.

Around 7 pm, Sejin arrived at the hospital to pick them up, he greeted the nurse Mark outside of Seokjin's room before they both entered.

Mark unhooked Seokjin from the IV and left.

"You're sure you're feeling good enough to leave? The doctor said it's okay to stay if you feel unwell" Sejin asked Seokjin as he handed him a bag of clothes to change into and Seokjin nodded "Don't worry, i feel fine and he said I'm good enough to leave so there is no need for me to stay here" Seokjin smiled as to reassure him.

"If you say so. Alright boys, get out, let's give Seokjin some privacy to change." Sejin clapped his hands twice and moved to the door.

"I've seen him naked before, i don't think it's a problem if i stay" Taehyung pouted and Jungkook acted betrayed and gasped "And you didn't tell me? When was that? We all only get to see him in his boxers and that's rare!"

Seokjin laughed "Yah! I just forgot to lock the bathroom door one time and that's how, why do you even want to see me naked?"

"I dunno, maybe to see you embarrassed", duh" Jungkook laughed and they all rolled their eyes except Taehyung who also laughed "That was a legendary moment, he was so shocked and re-heyyy" Taehyung pouted when Namjoon started pulling him out of the room and they all followed him.

When the room was finally empty for Seokjin to change, he sighed and laughed a little at the makneas act, he looked inside the bag and found black sweat pants, a white shirt and a black jacket.

Seokjin took his time to change, he didn't stand up but instead sat down on the bed, taking off his shirt and pants. As he changed, he wondered who took his clothes off when he was unconscious and if it was a male or a female, if they saw too much and he guessed they did because he noticed for the first time that the underwear he's wearing is not his and was obviously provided by the hospital, he felt embarrassed for a second but ignored it because he doesn't know who saw him and he wasn't awake to remember anything so he just took it off to put on the new ones he is thankful that sejin was thoughtful enough to put.

When he finished changing he slid his phone in his jackets pocket and slipped on black slippers before standing up, he winced when he felt pain shot up in his ankle but he prepared himself for it and took a deep breath, it wasn't as bad as when he walked to the bathroom room the first time but it still hurt.

Seokjin limped his way to the door and opened it, smiling when he saw everyone waiting outside "Done?" Hoseok asked and Seokjin nodded "let's go" ___The ride home took a whole one hour, Seokjin didn't know that it was that far but guessed that since the shooting happened in a far place, then they took him to the nearest hospital to it, which actually wasn't really near.

When they finally arrived, Seokjin was half asleep, closing his eyes for a few seconds then opening them and the same thing again, he felt hands around his shoulders and legs when he was about to stand up and get out of the car and before he knew it, he was being lifted by jungkook bridal style.

"Yah! Junkook-ah! I can walk, let me down" Seokjin complained and tried pushing Jungkook away "Hyung stop, you me to drop you? I saw how you limped and winced on our way to the car, you should rest, let me just carry you to the door" Jungkook said as he started walking.

Seokjin felt a little embarrassed but didn't understand why it felt nice to be carried so he didn't say anything and warpped his arms around Jungkook's neck and let his head rest on his chest, he laughed a little and jungkook frowned.

"Why are you laughing?"

"I feel like a kid like this and it's kinda nice" Seokjin admitted.

"Huh, you feel like a kid? But aren't you a kid already?" Jungkook teased and Jimin laughed.

"Yah! Where is your respect?" Seokjin scolded and jungkook laughed along with the others.

A week and two days of bangtan babying Seokjin passed, he developed another mild fever that didn't last long the second day after arriving home but other than that almost everything was fine, he started eating more like he used to before and coughing less and less every day, the hardest part was the walk to the bathroom or the living room but all that wasn't an issue later.The members went back to practice two days after Seokjin went back home and Seokjin followed them after two weeks when he was fully healthy, he was still a little traumatized by the accident and refused to look at the pictures that were taken in that place and sometimes, when he was really tired or stressed, he had different nightmares but as the days passed he got better with the help of everyone until he felt good enough to actually post that picture on twitter and take a look at all the pictures that were taken.And Seokjin was happy. Happy that he's got amazing bothers who love him and are willing to take care of him as much as he does and as long as he needs.
