Jungkook || Hepitatis

This is going to be a long one as well so I won't bother you so you can get to reading. Love yall! <3

"I don't know why you want to lay on the floor so bad, but at least let me get you a pillow." Jimin says to Jungkook as the younger shivers, groaning as the pains make their way through his body.
"It's, it's cool and, yea-" Jimin sighs. Concerned for the latter. By this time, Hoseok has entered the room dressed in his dance practice wear. The dance line had a mandatory practice today, in order to learn the new routines to teach everyone else. Minus Taehyung- he had a family emergency to attend. Although Jimin and Hobi had both experienced some sort of muscle pain before, Jimin more than Hobi; they have never had it as bad as Jungkook. Everyday, whether they had any physical activity or not; Jungkook would cry himself to sleep because of this intense muscle pain. This had been going on for around a month now, and eventually things had gotten better. They had been using some of Jimin's muscle cream, applying it to his 'trouble' spots. Like his back, shoulder, and abdomen area. Dancing most of the time got Jungkook to forget about the immense pain he was going through, but after dance practice was the exact definition of hell. Everything hurt, so bad. Sometimes, on rare occasions; he would cry so hard he would make himself throw up.

"Oh my- Jungkook you really need to see a doctor about this." Jungkook had always rejected the idea of seeing a doctor about this, mostly because if Jimin and Hobi could deal with it; so could he. Later to find out, this was much more than a case of serious muscle pains. The cool tiled floor was the only thing that could make him calm after a bad round of massages. It in some way, soothed him to the point where he would fall asleep on the floor. It was almost like a remedy for it, it worked every time. Who knows why, but it did- so the members let him.

"I- don't need a doctor."
"Yes you do Jungkook-ah." Namjoon said, entering the room from the doorway connecting the dining room and living room. Jungkook sighs, and tries to steer the conversation away from himself.
"RapMon Hyung, how's the new album coming along?" (Yes I know he's not RapMon anymore but I just needed to put it in-)
"Good! I just need your-"
"Hyung!"
"Oh sorry Jimin-ssi. Right, Jungkook we will no doubt be taking you to the doctors tomorrow."
"But I'm oka-"
"Stop telling me you're okay when you clearly aren't."

They are around half way through learning the first song, and all this relief he's felt from dancing over the past month is practically non existent. His shoulders ache, his stomach hurts, and his back feels like a bullet has just torn through it.
"Jungkook, just sit out. You look miserable."
"Fine." He says, slowly making his way over to the chair right beside the huge mirror in the front of the room. Jimin and Hobi whisper little things to each other throughout the whole practice, not regarding dance such as, 'He looks horrible,' or, 'We need to find out what's going on with him,'. It's good that the younger had fallen asleep, or else he would have been pissed.
"Jungkook-ah, wake up." Jimin whispers into the maknae's ear, before smelling a foul scent radiating off the poor boy. He then looks around him to try and find the culprit, but stops when he sees a stain of urine on Jungkook's pants. The poor thing would have been so embarrassed.
"Hobi hyung,"
"Yes Jiminie?"
"Jungkook, he uh- peed himself."
"You're joking right?"
"Nope, come see for yourself."
"Actually, I'd prefer not to embarrass him any further.. Just uh- wake him up and clean him up in the bathrooms." He says, trying to save Jungkook from any embarrassment at the dorms, he knew how the other boys were. Yes they'd be concerned for their youngest, but they would not let him live down the fact that he peed his pants.

~~~
In the bathroom, luckily Jimin always brings a spare pair of pants because he hates wearing the sweaty ones home he had just come out of practice with. Sadly though, he didn't bring spare underwear. Jungkook would have to change at home on his own.
"Jungkookie hun,"
"Hm?" He says, his eyes fluttering open and his body going tense after acknowledging the pains. "Ahhh"
"Shhh.. you've peed yourself baby, let's clean you up okay?"
"Again?"
"What do you mean again?"
"Oh I- nevermind." Jimin sighs, knowing he won't get an answer from the stubborn one. He hands Jungkook a wet towel, as well as the pair of sweatpants and tells him to wash up, leaving but staying right outside the door; just in case.

~~~
"Yeah Hyung-I don't know what's going on with him"
"Don't worry Jiminie, he will be just fine, I promise."
"Thanks Hyung."
"No problem,"
~~

This conversation is interrupted by a crashing sound, coming from the bathroom- in which Jungkook is in.
"Jungkook?!" Jimin shouts, almost in tears, hurt so much already from the pain he gets seeing Jungkook hurt, he opens the door in a hurry. Seeing Jungkook sat down on the toilet seat, with his hand on his head.
"Oh my gosh, are you okay? Did you fall? How bad does it hurt-Sorry" He feels around Jungkook's head, pressing too hard in the area of pain. Jungkook hisses in pain once more, and breaks down into tears.
"I was trying to- get up but I got lightheaded- so I, I fell."
"I knew I shouldn't have left you.."

~~~

They took the poor maknae home, and placed him on the couch after he had showered and changed into his own clothes.
"What movie do you want kook-ah?"
"I- I don't know, you can pick." Yoongi nodded, picking the first available thing on Netflix. Jungkook rests his head on the rappers shoulder, the latter tensing up at the skinship but eventually loosens up for the un well one. Tae had arrived back home after being on a plane all day, and immediately crashed on the couch with the others. He was physically and emotionally drained, just like Jungkook. Jungkook shivered in his sleep, and was sweating. The cool fan blowing cold air right against him only dried his sweat and made him shiver even more. So Jimin moved it away, going to instead grab a thermometer to see if he had a fever. He scanned it on his forehead, and waited for it to beep.

"100.1 baby, you have a fever love." He coos, knowing Jungkook isn't awake at the moment. (If you do Celsius then it's 37.8 I believe) He leaves, walks into the kitchen grabbing a cold towel, draping it over the maknae's forehead before leaving the room once more, returning to his room to search the web for anything interesting.

Yoongi is the first one to wake, noticing the towel over the poor boys head. 'What is this for?' he questions, taking it off his head, tossing it across the room for someone, anyone kind enough to put it away for him. Jungkook stirs awake at the sound of it hitting the floor, and rubs his eyes with his hands.
"Hold on love, let me see if you have a fever. Did you check earlier?"
"Hm.. no, I- I didn't check." Yoongi thinks to himself, 'odd' maybe he doesn't remember. He comes back with a thermometer, scanning it the same way Jimin did around an hour before.
'98.6' (A normal temp in Celsius)
"You don't have a fever love. Why did you put this on?"
"I- I didn't, I don't remember at least," He slurs, closing his eyes again.

'strange ' Yoongi thinks to himself.

~~~

Jungkook sits at the breakfast bar with all his hyungs surrounding him, except Jin who was making breakfast. The youngest has his head on the table, still feeling un well.
"Headache?"
"Y-yes.." Namjoon softly rubs his back soothingly, trying his best to comfort the vocalist. Usually when the maknae was sick, he would crave skinship, this time was different though. He wasn't, as some would say, needy. (shh) This time, he just slept a lot and didn't have much of an interaction with anyone. Jungkook got sick of the rubbing eventually, and used his shoulder to quite coldly shrug the hand off of him. Everyone seems to understand, and don't say anything regarding the maknae's 'attitude'. Instead, returning to their previous conversations, this time in a whisper.

Jungkook all of a sudden feels a stinging effect in his crotch, and tries to get up and make his way to the bathroom without anyone noticing the warm liquid dripping down his leg. Yes, he wore shorts today.
"Uh- Jungkook I think you-" Seokjin starts to laugh, but when he gets death glares from both Hobi and Jimin he stops. The dancers stare at each other, signaling things to one another in which no one understands except them. Jungkook had stopped walking by now, starting to tear up.

He had been getting awfully emotional recently, within the last two months. The smallest things would make him sad, frustrated, or annoyed and everyone just let slide. They just thought he was stressed, and let him have some space. Not knowing obviously, the upcoming diagnosis.

Jin had stepped out of his playful mood, and was now becoming the role of the 'caretaker'. He speed walked over to Jungkook, checking for a fever. "You have a fever bun.."
"Again?"
"Wait what do you mean again? He didn't have one when I checked!"
"Wait Jimin, how long did he have this fever? And Yoongi, when did you check?"

"He's had it since last night, so I put a cool towel on his forehead and let him sleep."
"So that's why there was a towel, I checked after him and there wasn't a fever!"
"Ok Jungkook, let me ask you a question and then you can shower, okay?" Jungkook nods, tears threatening to fall.

"What are your other symptoms?"
"I- uh- muscle pain, urine p-problems, fatigue, and now fevers I guess. Oh and a headache, but oddly since yesterday morning, I haven't had any muscle pain or fatigue."
"Okay, you can go shower. But we will be going to the doctor as soon as you're dressed and ready, you hear me?"
"Yes Hyung." He says with a sigh.

~~~

"What do you guys think?"
"In regards to JK?"
"No dip sherlock."

"I don't know, I just think maybe it's stress and maybe a really bad cold."
"Maybe the flu?"
"He hasn't complained of a stomach ache though," At this time, Jungkook has come back into the room dressed with a huge puffer jacket, sweatpants, probably a hoodie under the jacket by the looks of it, and his big platform shoes; untied.

"Bunny.. Do you need help tying your shoes?" Jungkook nods, sniffling, he sits down on the last step of the stairs, taking a break from all the walking. He lets out a long sigh, not looking for attention, but gets some anyways.
"What's wrong bud?"
"I just- I don't know, everything is moving so fast and- I don't want to be sick, and I just have a bad feeling about this, this whole situation. I just feel so, so blah." Namjoon and Jin both walk over to the staircase where the maknae is sitting, and Jin starts tying his shoes while Namjoon takes his hand.
"Hold my hand, you're going to be fine. Everything is going to be okay Jungkook-ah, right?" He squeezes Jungkook's hand, feeling the temperature of the poor one's body slowly drop again.
"I know, I just, don't leave me alone please."
"We would never Jungkook, never."

~~~

"Mr. Jeon Jungkook, we are ready for you." The nurse kindly says, taking him back into the room in which he did his check up. The check up was simple, a few blood tests (which JK did not like), and overall a very basic checkup. He slouched down on the chair, very drained from all the energy it took him to make it into the room, even with the support from the two that came with him; Jin and Jimin. "So we have come up with a diagnosis, and I believe this will need some backup tests and information since this is accurate, but we need more evidence."
"Are you like, false diagnosing him? What if the medicine is wrong? What if-"
"Jimin-ssi, let the nurse speak."
"Anyway, the medication will not have an effect on him if this is incorrect, because we are pondering the same diagnosis, just different types for Jungkook-ssi here."
"What is it?"

"We are pretty sure Mr. Jeon has Hepatitis, and we are thinking type B. This is when the liver is inflamed and can cause pain in both or just joints, muscles around the liver, and abdominal pain. In chronic cases, but this is not always the case there can be urinal problems or fevers caused by heavy inflammation. We are sure that Jungkook's case is more serious, as left untreated but with this medication and rest it should be just fine."
"Are there any precautions we should take?" Jin says while signing Jimin to leave the room, seeing his temper beginning to rise like boiling water.
"We recommend soft, easy to digest foods and limited physical activity, if he doesn't get better with this medication within a month or two's period, then come back and see us. Have a great day, and you can find the information on the prescription at the front desk on your way out, get well soon Mr. Jeon." He says, smiling oddly happy at the two. Jungkook has huddled up into Jin's side, now feeling the stomach cramps the doctor was talking about. Although all his symptoms had seemed to disappear after the quick injection of medicine they gave him.

~~~

"How was it?"
"Are you okay Kook?"
"What did they say?" As soon as the three entered the dorm, they were; mostly Jungkook, over blown with questions concerning the recent appointment.

"I- I have Hep-" He completely butchers the word, so Seokjin fills them in while Tae rubs the maknaes back, feeling the angry stomach rumbling inside him.
"Hepatitis B, they gave us the prescription and he needs rest."

"Our poor Kookie."
"Get well soon Kook-ah." Yoongi says, rubbing his back as he softly pushes him into Jin so he can take him upstairs for some rest.

~~~
It's been around 2 weeks and Jungkook has been feeling so good. His pains have completely gone away, leaving a somewhat numb feeling. Which was better than cramps, so he'll take it. All is well until they get a ring from their local doctors office.

"Hello?"
"Is this Mr. Jeon Jungkook?"
"Yes it is he."
"We have some concerns based on your recent diagnosis.."
"Huh?"

"We have sadly misdiagnosed you for the wrong type, if you have been feeling numb recently or noticed diarrhea or anything abnormal there may be an infection in your liver. We suggest come getting it checked out."
"I'm sorry, what?! What do I have then?"
"Type C sir, type C."
"Okay um, bye have a good day."
"You too Mr. Jeon, goodbye."

He hangs up, now in panic. How else was he supposed to react to someone telling him his liver might have just gotten infected?

"Jin Hyung! I-I need to go to the hospital..."
"You what!?"

~~~

"We can place him on the transplant list, but I believe it will be too risky from inflammation then, if worst comes to worst we will remove the target inflammation section."
"What number is he on this list?"
"Around 26, these people will take around 3 months if we are lucky."
"Guys- I- I don't feel well, I- " he wraps an arm around his aching stomach, trying to soothe the gurgling organ.
"Ok um, put him on the list I'll have to call you back, bye." He hangs up with the doctor suddenly, and moves to take care of the poor one."shhh, you're okay."
"I- I feel sick."
"I know you do bunny but we put you on the list okay?"

JungKook's stomach is bubbling so bad that Yoongi can hear it from across the hall and makes his way into the room.
"Yikes, your stomach must really be messed up."
"No freaking kidding," He gags, "I want to die."
"You will die because Jin will murder you if you puke on his carpets."
"Then i'll puke on the carpets."

Jin is not very pleased with this idea, and grabs the nearby bucket and places it under JungKook's chin.
"I'm not actually going to vomit. I just am nauseous."
"With you, we never know." JungKook gags again, bringing up nothing but spitting into the bowl. The next gag however you could call it 'productive' if you were desperate. He somewhat chokes on it, bringing a stream of thick red liquid into the bowl.

"What the-"
"Owwww, that hurts my thro-" He gags again, bringing up more of the bloody substance.
"Hospital! Yoongi hospital!"
"I'm getting the keys!" Jimin enters the room, as well as TaeHyung, Namjoon and Hoseok panicked.
"What's happening?" They all yell, syncronised.
"Kookie just threw up blood!"
"Oh my gosh, take him to the hospital!" Jimins shouts.
"Guys, all this yelling isn't going to help, I'm sure they are going and we will get this all figured out."

Yoongi comes back with the keys, and Jin carries Jungkook into the car sitting in the back seat with him. Jungkook at this point is almost passed out, tired from the events that just occurred.

~~~
"We need to remove a portion of his liver or else he won't last the night."
"He won't last? What do you mean?"
"Sir, this infection is life threatening and we are fixing it without a transplant for the time being."
"Hurry please!" Jin somewhat yells are the surgeon rushing out the room with Jungkook on a stretcher.

~~~

The surgery was successful, Jungkook is better. He will suffer from life long stomach issues, and motion sickness, but as long as his health isn't in any major danger, he doesn't care. All the muscle pains have gone away, as well as any of the other symptoms of this disease. His stomach acts up sometimes, like when he eats late at night, or if the food is too hard to digest. He doesn't eat as much anymore, but that's expected. He also had to have some of his stomach removed, as the infection had spread, that part was also successful. His transplant has been cancelled, since there is a risk of internal bleeding after it, and Jungkook is fine with his current condition. The boys take good care of him, and makes sure he is eating good. With tons of rest and careful eating habits, Jungkook will be back at it preforming in less than a week. Big Hit is also releasing a statement about Jungkook's condition;

Hello Armys,
This statement is regarding Jungkook's condition, last month he was false diagnosed with Hepatitis type B, his condition 'improved' with the medication, later finding out that this was an infection spreading. His true diagnosis was type C, and he was rushed to emergency surgery within 2 weeks. Jungkook is healed and will be in the next concert, although sitting out, taking precautions. Thank you for caring about the maknae, Jungkook and we hope to see you at the next concert.

-BigHit Entertainment

And here he is, in 2 weeks sitting in a chair at a concert is Sydney, Australia.

"Hello Army!"

Cheers erupt from the stands as well as from Jungkook's members. This concert is going to be great.
