"Ugh! Finally!! Two days off!!" Shouted Jungkook excitedly as all the members finished up their dance practice and started packing up their luggage. There was nothing better than a hard days work, and finishing knowing you get the next couple days to yourself.

"I plan to do absolutely nothing," Taehyung told everyone, "Now, let's hurry." Taehyung really had to use the bathroom but he didn't like using the one by their dance studio, so he told himself he would just hold it until he got home. That was becoming increasingly more difficult though, as it was becoming urgent.

"What's the rush, Tae? " Jimin laughed.

"I'm just ...REALLY EXCITED to go home," Taehyung joked back. The members packed up their stuff and all got into their seven seater SUV, Yoongi had offered to drive everyone today. As soon as Yoongi turned the car on, Taehyung realized he wasn't going to make it until they got home.

"Hyung, wait! I realllllly have to pee, I'll be right back," Taehyung said as he unbuckled himself and opened the door. Everyone groaned.

"Seriously? You're the one who was REALLY EXCITED to leave and now you're the one holding us up! Hurry up!!" Jin scolded.

Taehyung did a funny little waddle/run to the bathroom, he hated that bathroom, but it was either that bathroom, or his pants. He got in the bathroom and he could tell it hadn't been cleaned in a while, it also smelled weird.

Ugh, finally. Sweet relief.

He finished his business and went to the sink to wash his hands, but he couldn't quite figure out the unique soap dispenser. He pushed on it and soap splattered out all over the counter and floor.

You've got to be freaking kidding me right now.

Being the decent person that he is, he didn't want to just leave soap splattered everywhere so he went to reach for paper towels to clean it, but he accidentally slipped right in the soap. It was quite the slip, as he flew backwards and bashed the back of his head right against the edge of the porcelain bathroom sink. When he landed, he curled up into a ball and clutched his head.

It hurt, badly. He opened his eyes and saw black spots in his vision and it was a little blurry, but as he lay there in a ball clutching the back of his head his vision slowly came back to him. He started to quietly cry, he didn't mean to, the tears just came automatically.

Ow. Ow. Ow. It hurts. How can I be THAT stupid?!

He heard his phone go off, he checked to see a text from Jungkook.

Kookiemonster: sometime today hyungieee <(o_o)>

It hurt to even look at his phone screen.

Why is it so bright?

He slowly got up and finished, attempting, to clean up the soap. His head was throbbing, thankfully there was no blood. He got back into the SUV with everyone and they headed back to the dorm.

"Does anyone have any requests for dinner?" Jin asked all his little ones. Everyone started throwing out requests of pork belly and ramen.

"Can I request to go take a nap?" Taehyung asked.

"Taehyung nobody cares if you go take a nap," Namjoon said as he walked by Taehyung and patted him on the back.

"Good, because I wasn't asking," Taehyung laughed.

"Actually, you literally just asked," Jungkook stared at him confused. The two stared at eachother for a moment, before both laughing. Taehyung headed upstairs and threw himself down face first onto his bed.

His headache had turned into a pretty bad migraine, it hurt so badly, the lights hurt, everything hurt. He felt oddly exhausted, like if he closed his eyes he could sleep for a week. Every little noise made him want to cry, it all just hurt. He hadn't told anyone he hit his head, he was too embarrassed to tell them. He knew they'd all have a laughing spree if he told them he slipped on SOAP, of all things. He buried his face into his pillow and cried more, before passing out rather quickly.

About an hour later, dinner was almost ready.

"I'm going to go wake up Tae, he can help me put stuff out on the table," Jimin suggested as he headed upstairs to Taehyung's room. He gently knocked on the door but there was no answer, so he cracked the door open and flipped the lights on to see Taehyung sprawled out face down in bed.

"Hey, Taehyung, the food is almost done, wake up," he stood there for moment waiting for Taehyung to answer, but he didn't. Jimin walked into the room and shook Taehyung's shoulders.

"Tae, come help me set the table," Still nothing.

"Taehyung? Hey wake up..." No response.

Jimin shook Taehyung more, " Why are you ignoring meeeeee Tae please come help me set the table!"

Jimin felt a wave of nervousness shoot through his chest when the younger one still showed no sign of movement.

...Why isn't he waking up.....?

Jimin placed his hand in the middle of Taehyung's back and gently shook him more, "Okay this isn't funny anymore please wake up..." No response.

He shook him more aggressively, "Stop it Tae you're scaring me!!" Jimin could now hear his own panic in his voice as he broke out in a cold sweat. He backed up and stared at Taehyung for a second, then placed his finger under Taehyung's nose.

He's breathing. Thank God.

Jimin tried shoving Taehyung onto his back instead, "TaeTae???????? You're freaking hyung out seriously!!! Why aren't you waking up?!?!" Jimin held his breath as he stared at him, he was frozen with fear at this point.

Taehyung's eyes finally cracked open, "Hyung..."

"Jesus Christ Taehyung! Are you trying to give me a heart attack?! I almost thought you were dead! I've been trying to wake you up for like 10 minutes!!" Jimin scolded him, but felt so relieved.

"Why are you so loud?" Taehyung whispered. He thought the loudness of Jimin's voice was actually going to kill him.

"Because you were starting to scare me half to death!! Did you take something to help you sleep? You never sleep like that," Jimin asked confused.

"No, just exhausted."

"Okay well anyways, since you're not dead, come help me set the table," Jimin grabbed Taehyung's wrist and dragged him out of bed and down into the kitchen.

As Jimin dragged Taehyung into the kitchen, he asked him to get cups out of the cupboard.

Taehyung walked over and opened the drawer to the silverware instead.

"Tae, I said cups. What are you doing?" Jimin asked.

"I uh...cups, right.." Taehyung walked over and got cups. The rest of the members all laughed. Taehyung could've sworn Jimin asked about spoons, but whatever.

"Hyungie must still be half asleep," Jungkook joked as he walked over and gave Taehyung a back hug. He went to run his fingers through Taehyung's hair, but his hyung winced and pulled away.

"What's wrong?" Jungkook asked with concern.

"Nothing, I just have a slight headache," Taehyung lied.

More like my head is going to explode off my body any second.

Hobi walked over, also concerned, "Did you take any medicine? Would you like some? I have headache medicine in my room."

"No thank you hyung, I'm fine." Taehyung really didn't want them to know what happened so he was trying to play it off that he just had a small headache.

"Yahhh!" Jin yelled as he spilled some water onto the floor, " Can someone please get me a paper towel?!"

"I can," Taehyung offered. Everyone stared at him confused when they saw him not walk over to the paper towels, but headed straight to the bathroom.

"Uh...what's he doing..?" Asked Namjoon.

"Your guess is as good as mine," Hobi shrugged.

Taehyung returned with a giant beach towel and handed it to Jin.

"What's this for? I said paper towel. I don't need this.." Jin stared at Taehyung.

"Oh, right. I knew that, I was just messing with you, hyung.." Taehyung turned around to bring the towel back to the bathroom. He was confused, he thought Jin definitely asked for the beach towel.

"wtf was that?" Yoongi asked the others as he walked over and grabbed the paper towels for Jin instead.

"Maybe he's drunk?" asked Jungkook.

"Hah! Right, he's been with us all day and then passed out in bed. We don't even have any alcohol in the house," Jin reassured everyone that there is no way Taehyung is drunk.

"I think he's just really tired. Maybe he's getting sick. I couldn't even wake him up for like 10 minutes. I was starting to panic," Jimin told everyone.

"Really? That's a bit...concerning..." Hobi replied. While the rest of them finished setting up the table, Taehyung was still in the bathroom. He was staring at himself in the mirror clutching onto the sink as he felt really dizzy, and was starting to also feel nauseous. Part of him wanted to ask his members for help, he was starting to get scared of how badly his head was hurting. But he felt too prideful to admit to them he slipped on soap and hit his head on a sink. He jumped and winced when he heard a loud knock on the bathroom door.

"Yes?" he replied.

Jungkook opened the door and walked in, "Hey...are you alright? I mean....do you feel okay?" the maknae was a bit worried after seeing Taehyung act so strange.

"I'm fine Jungkookie I told you I just have a headache."

"Do you know why you have a headache?" his maknae asked.

"No. I just have one," Taehyung flipped the light off and they both walked back into the kitchen. Walking back into the kitchen Taehyung lost his balance and face planted to the ground. Everyone immediately ran to him to make sure he was okay and help him up.

"Taehyung what the hell was that?" Yoongi asked as he grabbed Taehyung's hand to hoist him off the ground.

"I must've tripped," Taehyung said looking around the floor to see what he tripped over.

Apparently I tripped over nothing?

Jimin pulled Taehyung into a tight hug, "Is something going on? Are you sure you're okay? Are you getting sick?" Jimin was becoming well beyond concerned.

Taehyung is acting so weird.

"I'm fine Jiminnie. I swear. Let's just eat, yeah?"

Everyone gathered around the table. However, Taehyung wasn't all that hungry. He'd rather spend his time crawling into a silent black hole to ease his head. He picked at his food and swirled it around his plate. Without saying anything, Jin got up from his seat and walked over to Taehyung, placing the back of his hand on his forehead.

"Uhh hyung what are you doing?" Taehyung asked confused.

"Seeing if you have a fever in case you're sick, but you don't have one," Jin replied. Everyone was staring at Taehyung. They were all worried.

" I don't have a fever?" Taehyung asked.

"No," Jin replied.

"Why did you check if I had a fever?" the younger asked again.

" I just told you I was checking in case you're sick," Jin sounded a little irritated.

"Hyung...." Taehyung stared at Jin, and Jin just stared back, "Yes?"

"....Did I have a fever?"

Everyone looked around at eachother. Namjoon turned towards Taehyung and gently rubbed his back, "Taehyungie....be honest....are you just fucking with us?"

"No, why?"

Yoongi got up and walked over to Taehyung, getting extremely close to his face and staring directly into his eyes. Taehyung backed up, "What are you doing?"

Yoongi kept staring at him for a moment, "Did you hit your head?" He asked while placing a gentle hand on Taehyung's shoulder. Something seemed wrong with Taehyung's eyes, he couldn't figure out quite what, but it was something.

"What?! No! I never hit my head, yoongi-hyung!" Taehyung said defensively as he backed out of his hyung's grip.

"If you say so. Just asking. You're acting kind of strange," Yoongi went and sat back down.

Jungkook turned to Jimin, " Do you think he hit his head? He would've told us right?" he whispered, he was trying to swallow his fear. He was concerned for his hyung. He didn't like seeing him not act like himself. Jimin just shrugged, he had no idea.

The members decided to give Taehyung some peace so they stopped bothering him with questions. He quietly sat there not touching most of his food.

Since when is our kitchen light so damn bright?!

The louder his members got, the worse his head was. He reached a point where he couldn't take it anymore, he folded his arms on the table and placed his head down, and began to cry. Everybody got really quiet, real quick. Jimin ran over to him and brought him into a hug, "Why is my baby crying?! Taehyungie what's wrong?!" Jimin rocked him in his arms back and forth. Everyone stared in worry, before all getting up and crowding around him.

"Im f-fine. My h-head just hurts," he cried into his arms. Jungkook ran to the freezer and grabbed an ice pack, wrapping it in a paper towel before handing it to Taehyung. Taehyung took it, but didn't want to use it. Any pressure against his head just made it hurt even more.

Jin pulled Hobi and Yoongi aside, " Do you think he should go to the ER? Something is clearly wrong. I'm getting really worried.." Jin asked. Hobi and Yoongi were in agreement as they, along with everyone else, had gotten rather worried for Taehyung.

Jin walked over to Taehyung and stroked his arm while kneeling next to him, " Hey um...Tae... I know you said it's just a headache but I think you need to go to the hospital.." Jin tried to say it as gently as possible.

Taehyung's head shot up, " What?! NO! Why?! I told you I'm fine!" His own yelling made his head hurt more, he buried his face back into his arms, it was too bright.

Jungkook immediately started to cry, " What? Hospital?? Why the hospital? What's wrong with TaeTae hyung????? IS HE GOING TO DIE???" he frantically looked around at all his members, searching for one of them to give him an answer. Namjoon hugged him, "Aww Jungkook-ah don't cry, I'm sure he's fine. Of course he's not going to die. But maybe the hospital can give him medicine for his headache, what do you say Taehyung?" Namjoon stood there rubbing Jungkook's back, he knew Jungkook could get a little worked up if one of his hyung's got sick or hurt.

"Taehyungie, it's not a bad idea. If you're getting sick or something it's better to find out sooner than later," Hobi told him.

"Fine, I'll go." He gave up his protest quite easily. At this point he was in so much pain he was actually hoping the hospital would just save him.

"I'll bring him. You guys just stay here and relax," Jin offered. Everyone protested, they all wanted to go together so they could be with Taehyung. Nobody felt comfortable sitting around the house knowing Taehyung would be sitting in an Emergency Room. Taehyung laid on the couch while he waited for the members to clean up dinner. Once everyone was ready, they headed towards their car. Jimin was about to get in it when he suddenly noticed Taehyung was missing.

"Uh...guys ...where did Tae go...?" Jimin asked as he looked around, to see Taehyung standing at someone else's car. Jungkook and Jimin ran to him, " Tae what are you doing?" Jimin asked.

"I was waiting for you guys. The car is locked," he grabbed the handle of the car he was standing at and the car alarm immediately went off. He threw himself onto the ground and screamed at the sound of the car alarm. Jungkook picked him up and ran him back to their own car, Taehyung wept in his arm as he covered his ears. "THAT WAS THE WRONG CAR!!!!" Jimin scolded. Everyone quickly got into their own car and closed all the doors to protect Taehyung from the loud alarm sounds. The members all tried to hide their tears, it was almost impossible not to cry at this point. Nobody knew what was wrong with Taehyung, they just wanted him to be okay.

In the car, Taehyung curled up into a ball and rested his head in Jimin's lap while Jimin rubbed his back. Thankfully the hospital wasn't too far away, only about 25 minutes. They went in and Jin explained to the receptionist what was going on while all the members sat in the waiting room chairs. Taehyung could barely open his eyes, as if their house lights weren't bright enough, the ones at the hospital were a million times worse. They only had to wait about 10 minutes before Taehyung was called in to be seen.

"Can we all come with him? Please?" Jungkook asked the doctor, hitting him with his big pleading doe-eyes.

"Yes, that is fine," the doctor said as he led them into a room.

The doctor had Taehyung lay down on the hospital bed while all the members surrounded him. Their hearts were hurting.

Our TaeTae. Please be okay.

Jimin held Taehyung's hand and rubbed it while he lay there.

"So, I hear you're not feeling too good?" The doctor asked.

"I just have a very bad heada....." Taehyung was about to finish that statement, but without warning, he instantly threw up all over himself. "I...I'm sorry," he began to cry, more so out of embarrassment rather than not feeling good. The other members also began to cry again, it's like every time they thought it couldn't get worse, it did.

"My poor baby!!!"cried Jimin, " Don't be sorry. It's not your fault. Doctor please help him!!" The doctor called a nurse in to get Taehyung a hospital gown instead and he left while the members helped Taehyung change into it. When the doctor came back he had Taehyung hooked up with an IV as he continued to ask more questions. However, Taehyung was getting confused and having a hard time answering them.

"When did your headache start?" the doctor asked.

"Earlier."

"Around what time?"

"I don't know."

"Do you know if something may have caused it?"

"What?"

"I asked if something may have caused it."

"Caused what?"

"Your headache."

"I don't know."

The doctor stared at Taehyung with concern before asking a few more questions, then he started giving him a physical exam, mainly focusing on his head and eyes.

The doctor asked the members if he had fallen or hit his head.

"Not that we are aware of. We asked him earlier after he started acting like this and he said he hadn't," Yoongi told the doctor.

"Well, that is interesting, because your little man here has himself quite the concussion."

All the members gasped in shock and confusion, while Taehyung tried hiding his face into the hospital bed pillow and cried. Shit.

"A concussion?! How in the hell?! We were with him all day ! Taehyung what the hell happened?!" Namjoon was panicking. There's no way Taehyung could have a concussion? How would that have happened without them knowing?! Taehyung can't even get a paper cut without them all knowing about it!

"Judging by his symptoms, it appears he hit the back of his head, rather than the front. And pretty hard, too." The doctor told them. Everyone stood around the bed staring at Taehyung, "Alright, spill it. When and how did you manage that?" Yoongi scolded him to tell them the truth, but in a caring way.

Taehyung lifted his head and squinted up, " The bathroom..." He knew at this point there was no way he could hide it anymore. Plus he really wanted the doctor to just save him, somehow.

"What bathroom? Ours? When you grabbed the towel?" Jungkook asked.

"No. When I went at the studio before we went home. I fell and hit my head on the sink.." Everyone gasped in shock again, they knew exactly what sink, and they knew that had to have been painful.

"TAEHYUNG!!!!! And you went home and took a nap?!?! I almost couldn't wake you up!! You're not supposed to sleep after something like that! What if you had gone into a coma or something?!?!!?" Jimin was furious, but scared. What if TaeTae actually never woke back up?! The thought of that sent more tears streaming down Jimin's cheeks.

"I'm sorry," was Taehyung's only response.

"Why didn't you tell anybody? We would have helped you, and gotten you here a lot sooner. We've been nothing but worried about you all night Tae," Hobi spoke softly.

" I was embarrassed."

"Why?" Asked Jin.

"Because....I only fell because I slipped on soap.."

Yoongi turned around to let out a chuckle.

"This is why I didn't tell you! I knew you'd laugh!!"

"I'm sorry but you have to admit that's a little funny. You'll laugh about it too once you're better," Yoongi apologized and turned to the doctor, " In which....he WILL get better, right?" he tried to hide the worry in his voice.

"Yes. He will be alright, he just needs as much rest as possible. Little to no light, no mental stimuli, no physical activity. Just pure rest and he should be okay in a few days. I will prescribe something for his headaches as well."

"Is there anything else we can do for him?" Hobi asked the doctor.

"All you can do at this point is just take care of him."

"Well of course, always." Jungkook stared at Taehyung who seemed to be laying there staring off into space. He gently rubbed his hyungs cheek. A nurse came in and gave Taehyung clothes to leave in, the doctor told them they were free to go and that he'd go put in the prescription for the headaches. He also gave each member a copy of a care sheet that talked about concussions and the best ways to treat them.

The ride home was completely silent, Taehyung felt grateful for that. He felt bad for not telling his members he hit his head, but he himself didn't realize he had a concussion. At least now they all knew, and now it could be treated. When they got home he felt really dizzy, so Namjoon gave him a piggy back ride to his room and plopped him on his bed.

All the members were gathered in Taehyung's room. "I guess we just let him rest?" Hobi asked.

"Yes, but I think someone should stay up and keep an eye on him. At least just for tonight," Jin suggested, " I don't mind staying up and watching him."

The members all said they'd help and take turns keeping an eye on Taehyung for the night, just to be safe. They didn't feel comfortable leaving him all alone just yet. Jungkook was staring at Taehyung, who had already fallen asleep, and curled up into his bed and cuddled up with him, the maknae couldn't resist. " I love you hyungie," he whispered to him and pulled him closer. He had spent half the night thinking his hyung might die, he needed a good cuddle.

The members took turns throughout the night keeping their eyes on him, and thankfully nothing out of the ordinary happened. Namjoon had called their manager and told him that Taehyung was suffering from a bad concussion, and their manager gave them a whole week off. Hopefully Taehyung would be fully recovered by that time. As the days went by everyone spoiled the hell out of Taehyung as he laid in bed and got all the rest he needed.

Every day was getting better, and the members were happy to see their TaeTae quickly become himself again.

{The End}
