"It huuuuuurrrrrrrrrts" he whined, as he wriggled in taes grasp. "I know hyung, we're going to a hospital soon." Tae replied, adjusting the blanket that yoongi still had a death grip on. He carefully moved a piece of hair from his forehead and said "just hold on a little longer." Yoongi groaned and snuggled deeper into tae's chest.

Namjoon and the rest finally came over with all their luggage, and Jin crouched down, so that he was in Yoongi's eyeline. "Who do you want to come to the hospital with you, yoongz? Only a few of us can come." His hand rested on yoongi's thigh as he talked to him with a gentle voice so as to not hurt his current sensitive soul.
"Y-y-you....a-and taetae..." the members looked at each other, surprised. Yoongi had never used pet names for any of the members, especially taehyung. What's with his sudden obsession with tae? They were all thinking. Yoongi hugged tae tighter, shuffling uncomfortably.
"Ok Yoongi I'll come with you...don't worry I'm not going anywhere." He says, after feeling Yoongi hugging him as tight as physically possible in his state. Yoongi just groans in response.
"Come on guys we haven't got time for all this sappy-ness we need to get Yoongi to the hospital." Namjoon says, grabbing the nearest suitcase. Everyone nodded and followed him, and tae struggled to lift Yoongi onto his hip to carry him. Luckily the car wasn't too far away. Yoongi was whining the whole way there. Tae and Jin got into the car with Yoongi and immediately sped off to the hospital.

When they arrived Yoongi was already whining, complaining that he just wanted to go home. The other two just ignored him, knowing how stubborn he can be. As soon as they arrived Jin hurried into the hospital to the front desk to check in.
"Hi uh, we called yesterday, my friend has appendicitis and needs surgery so you said that he could get it today."
"Ok, what was the name?"
"Yoongi. Min Yoongi."
"Ah yes, we have a room ready for him." She said, grabbing the phone to call a nurse to take them to his room. By this point Yoongi had hobbled in, clinging onto taehyung for his dear life.
"Just take a seat over there for a second, the nurse should be here soon." Jin nodded and helped tae lead Yoongi to the nearest chair, not worrying about themselves. Before long, the nurse had already arrived. She was sweet-looking, with her hair tied neatly into a bun, and a clipboard help under her arm.
"Min Yoongi?" She called, looking at her clipboard. Jin quickly responded before going to help Yoongi to stand up, but by this point the painkillers had worn off, and his appendix was on the verge of bursting. There was no way they could get him to walk.
"Hold on, I'll go get a wheelchair, I'll only be two seconds." She said, before quickly dashing off. Meanwhile Yoongi was struggling to contain himself, pained whines were escaping his mouth, getting louder by the second, garnering stares from everyone else sat in the waiting room.
"Ssshhhh, yoongz it's ok, I'm here. Just hold on a little longer ok?" Jin said, very gently grazing his fingers across his back, in hopes of comforting him without hurting him. Luckily the nurse got back very quickly, and the three of them helped lift Yoongi onto the wheelchair. He yelped at the movement, and the nurse looked especially worried, it was worse than she thought. The painstakingly long walk down the hallway to Yoongi's room seemed to last forever as he whined, reaching the point where he was pleading for help. Jin and tae were using all their mental effort to hold back tears after hearing their band mate crying for help like that.

They were finally led into a room with a bed in the middle and a couch to the side. The nurse handed Yoongi a hospital gown and said "I'll leave you to put that on and get onto the bed and I'll be back in a few minutes ok?" She said with a nod before closing the door. Jin and tae looked over at Yoongi who was now letting all his tears free as he sat helplessly in a wheelchair in the middle of the room. Jin immediately ran over to Yoongi and crouched in front of him, carefully wiping his tears away.
"I'm sorry yoongz, I know it must hurt a lot. Don't worry it'll be over soon." Yoongi just nodded, sniffing back his sobs before taking a deep breath.
"Let's get you changed then. Can you do it yourself? Or do you need help-" Yoongi quickly interrupted him, saying "I can do it myself..." he sat there awkwardly for a while after realising that he definitely can't do it himself.
"Come on Yoongi," Jin said, sighing as he wheeled Yoongi into the small en-suite bathroom. "Don't feel awkward, it's fine we all live together it's not like I haven't seen you at least semi-naked before..." Jin said, lifting Yoongi's shirt over his head. He helped Yoongi to stand up and struggled to take his trousers off. "Don't worry, I'm not gonna make you take your underwear off. I'm not a pervert."
He was helping get the gown onto Yoongi, when he heard sniffles. When he stepped away for a second he saw tear stains on his cheeks, and fat tears rolling down his face.
"Y-Yoongi... what's wrong b-" he said, stopping himself before accidentally letting the word 'baby' escape his mouth.
"N-nothing hyung...just... just don't worry about it." He said, through a now blocked nose.
"I won't accept that as an answer. Please Yoongi tell me what's wrong. Then maybe I can help. Does it hurt too much? Is that it?"
"No it's-" Yoongi regretted saying that. He wished he would have just gone along with it and said yes.
"Then tell me. Quickly before the nurse gets back." Jin had his hands firmly placed on Yoongi's shoulders and looked deep into his eyes with concern. Yoongi couldn't help but let a few more tears escape as he thought about it again.
"It's just... i feel so helpless" He struggled to get the words out between holding back sobs. "I can't even change my own clothes now... all my dignity is gone." He wanted to hide behind his hands, but he was so weak from all the pain. All the crying definitely didn't help.
"It's ok yoongz. Your sick, we understand. It happens to the best of us. Just hold tight and soon it'll all be over, ok?" He rubbed his shoulder gently with his thumb, and Yoongi nodded, before Jin got up and wheeled him out of the bathroom.
"Are you guys ok? You were in there a while..." tae said worriedly from the couch.
"Yeah, everything's ok now." Jin said, wheeling Yoongi next to the bed. "Hey tae can you help me move him onto the bed?" Tae stood up and they both lifted him up onto the bed. Jin used the remote control to lift the bed up so yoongi was sat up slightly, and tae lifted the covers over him.
At perfect timing, the nurse came in with a rolling trolly filled with various medications and tools. She hangs a pouch of clear liquid on the IV stand and carefully cleaned the inside of Yoongi's elbow(yknow the other side of your elbow? You know what I mean right? 😂) and inserted the needle, before connecting the tube to the pouch hung on the IV stand.
"It's just some painkillers to keep him comfortable before the surgery." She says with a warm smile.
"I need to take some measurements for the anaesthesiologist, but if you want I can come back and do it once the painkillers take affect." Yoongi nodded his head slightly and the nurse nodded back "ok, I'll be back in a few minutes. If you need me you can push the button next to your bed." She bows slightly before turning to leave the room. Yoongi melts back into his bed, finally feeling somewhat comfortable as the painkillers start to take effect.

A few minutes later the nurse comes back, clipboard still in hand, to see Yoongi snoozing with his eyes closed comfortably on his bed. The nurse chuckled quietly at the sight as she enters the room.
"Is he awake?" She asks semi-quietly tilting her head to look at him. Jin walks over to him and gently says "Yoongi-a~" whilst carefully tapping his shoulder. He hums in response, so jin continues.
"The nurse is here for you." Yoongi slowly opens his eyes to be met with the warm smile of the nurse.
"How are you feeling, Yoongi-ssi?" She asks. Yoongi thinks for a moment before replying "yeah, ok I guess."
"Do you think you can walk? I need to get your weight and height. It's not far away." She asks, stepping slightly closer to him.
"Yeah, I'll try." Yoongi says with a sigh. Swinging his legs over the edge of the bed. He grabs the IV stand for balance and Jin holds his other arm and helps him walk. The nurse guides them out of the room and down the hallway, just a few meters, to the scales and the height chart. He was quite slow, as all the movement brought back a lot of the pain.
"Just stand on the scales for me. It won't take long." She assures. Jin helps him as he steps into the scales before letting him go.
"Ok thank you, could you stand in front of the height chart for me?" Jin helps Yoongi off the scales and keeps hold of him as the nurse measures his height.
"Ok that's all. Thank you." She heads off down the hallway as Yoongi and Jin go back to his room. He immediately gets back into the bed and he's asleep again in no time. Tae scoots over and sits right next to Yoongi's bed, resting his head on the side with a sigh.
"You ok tae?" Jin asks after hearing taes big sigh. Tae just hums softly in response.
"Cmon tae, talk to me about it. I can see right through you. I know somethings up." Jin said, walking over and crouching next to tae.
"I guess it's just... I'm not used to seeing Yoongi hyung like this. I hate it. I don't like seeing him in pain, hyung." A soft tear escapes his eye and rolls down his cheek.
"None of us do tae. But it'll be ok soon. He won't be like this forever." Jin rested a gentle hand on taes shoulder.
"Yeah but.... I'm confused." Jin cocked his head to the side, now confused also about what tae was saying. Just as Jin was about to ask, tae interrupted.
"Why'd he choose me?" Jin was still confused.
" I mean yeah, we're kinda close but... why did he want to sit with me on the plane? I thought he would choose you. And why was he so insistent that I come here to the hospital with him? He's been so clingy with me. He's never been like that with anyone, let alone me. I thought he would choose jiminie-hyung or hobi-hyung, not me..." tae says, mumbling the last words.
"And is that a bad thing?" Jin asks, genuinely curious.
"Nonono it's not..." Tae butts in.
"It's just... confusing me I guess..." Tae mumbles, letting a few more tears fall down his cheeks.
"Hmmm.... well for now, the best you can do is just be there for him. That's what he wants. We can ask questions when he's better." Jin says standing up, before wrapping his arms around Taes shoulders.

Little did they know, Yoongi heard their whole conversation.

—————

The nurse came in an hour or so later, still with her clipboard. She opted to just talk to the others rather than waking Yoongi up from his much needed rest.
"I'm glad to say we managed to free up time for Yoongi to have his surgery early tomorrow morning, at around five. Since he's an adult, you two are welcome to leave if you want, or you can stay if you'd rather." Tae looked over at jin, and Jin could see in his eyes that he wanted to stay.
"We'll stay." Jin said.
"Ok, I can bring you some blankets if you want. And feel free to go to the cafeteria and get something to eat! I'll be back in an hour or so to check on Yoongi." She says as she backs out of the door, leaving the two of them in an awkward silence.
"We should get some food, it's late and we haven't eaten since before the flight." Jin says standing up, but tae stays firmly where he is.
"...you coming?"
"No." Tae says firmly. His eyes glued to Yoongi. Jin sighs and rolls his eyes.
"He'll be fine, we can come back and eat it here yknow?" Tae doesn't move a muscle. Jin crouches down in front of tae, with his hands resting on his knees.
"Do you want me to get food for you while you stay here with him?"
"No." Jin was surprised by his answer. "If he can't eat anything, i can't either." Tears were in his eyes as he kept his gaze on Yoongi.
"B-but tae... he can't eat because he's having surgery in the morning. And frankly I don't think he would have much of an appetite right now anyway. You shouldn't starve yourself just because he can't eat." By this point his tears had started falling. He felt a strange connection to Yoongi that he never had before.
"Please tae... for me." Jin says, at his wits end. Tae just nodded, still keeping his eyes on yoongi.
"I'll be back in a bit ok?" Jin said worriedly.

As soon as Jin left the room, Tae got up from the chair he was sitting in and walked over to Yoongi. He very slowly sat on the edge of his bed so he didn't wake him, and reached out to his soft hair, grazing it ever so slightly with his fingers, trying extra hard not to wake him. If Yoongi heard what he was about to say, he'd be in trouble.
"When you first said my name, asking to sit next to me, I was shocked, but... I loved it. Finally a chance to show you how much I love you. I love being able to care for you, and comfort you. But... I'm scared you don't feel the same.............. whatever. I'm just being stupid." He said, about to stand up off the side of the bed when he felt Yoongi grab his wrist. He looked down in shock before looking up at him.
"Why do you think I chose you...baby?" Yoongi said weakly, mumbling his words.
Tae was left shell shocked, and lost for words. At this point Jin came through the door, and tae quickly stood up.
"Here, I bought food." Jin says, placing it down on the small coffee table they had. Tae mumbled a small "thank you hyung" before walking over and sitting down to eat.
"Is yoongi ok?" Jin asks, tae hums in confusion. " you were standing by his bed... i thought something was wrong."
"Oh. No hyung, everything's fine. I was just checking on him." Tae says, glancing over at Yoongi, who was trying to look asleep, yet still had one eye open to try and peek at tae.
