Taehyung and Jungkook had stayed later than everyone else at the studio to practice a bit more. Taehyung also promised to join Jungkook for a late night work out session at the gym afterwards.

Taehyung didn't promise to work out, but he did promise to at least accompany his maknae.

Jungkook was helping Taehyung with a small part of choreography where he couldn't get the steps right to the music.

"No Hobi hyung showed it to me this way," Jungkook said, showing his hyung the proper way to do the steps.

"My brain and feet don't seem to be cooperating," Taehyung pouted. He didn't understand why it was so hard for him.

"It takes a lot of practice," Jungkook said reassuringly. Jungkook didn't want Taehyung to feel bad, he also had to practice extra hard to get the steps correct. When he saw Taehyung was getting a bit frustrated he decided that was enough practice for the day.

"Why don't we take a break? It's late anyway. We should probably get to the gym soon," Jungkook suggested as he handed Taehyung a water. Taehyung groaned, going to the gym really wasn't his idea of a fun time.

They hung out in the practice studio for a bit and decided to turn on some music and freely dance to it. They started playing around and being carefree. They played tag, and also started taking some costumes out of a trunk in the studio and dressed up in them. They started recording themselves being silly and having a fun time together before cleaning up and heading over to the gym.

Jungkook immediately got started on the treadmill and Taehyung took a seat on the floor.

"You're not going to work out with me?" Jungkook pouted.

"That wasn't part of the plan, no," Taehyung smiled. He sat on his phone and watched Youtube videos while Jungkook circulated around the room using different equipment. When he got to one of the weight machines he asked Taehyung to come over to help spot him.

"How will I be of any help? You're stronger than I am. That's why Namjoon usually spots you with these things!" Taehyung pouted.

"Just stand-by incase," Jungkook ordered his hyung. Taehyung stood next to him and thankfully the maknae didn't need any help with his weights.

While Jungkook was working on his last machine, Taehyung noticed that it was starting to come apart or break somehow. Taehyung could see in his head what would happen if one of the cords snapped, Jungkook would be unconscious.

"Jungkook-ah hold on stop!" Taehyung said urgently as he made his way over to the machine.

"Hold on hyungie just one more-"

"Jungkook no!" Taehyung ran over as soon as he saw the cord snapping. He pushed Jungkook out of the way before the maknae got his head bashed in with a weight, but the weights ended up falling on Taehyungs arm. He could hear and feel the crunch of his bones as soon as it happened.

"Ahh! Ahhh!" Taehyung screamed out in pain.

"Hyung!!!" Jungkook cried as he immediately started lifting the weights off of Taehyungs arm. Taehyung was crying and whimpering in pain. By the time Jungkook was able to pull all of the fallen weights off his hyungs arm, the sight was not good.

"Oh no...hyungie..." Jungkook pouted, "You need to go to the hospital!" Jungkook was trying not to panic, but he was panicking. Taehyung definitely had a broken arm. No X-Ray was needed to prove that. Taehyung's bone was slightly sticking out and blood was everywhere.

Taehyung was crying and sweating with panic. He could see spots. He felt like he was going to pass out. He kept begging Jungkook to help him.

"Please help me. Please do something," Taehyung whimpered. He wished he would just pass out so he didn't have to see or deal with the sight that was now his mangled arm. He was hyperventilating with fear.

"Deep breaths, deep breaths," Jungkook told Taehyung, "I'm going to bring you to the ER okay? They'll fix you right up I promise." Jungkook went to help Taehyung stand up but his hyung couldn't do it. He was in too much pain. So Jungkook desperately lifted Taehyung in his arms and ran for the elevators.

Taehyung had his face cuddled into Jungkook's chest and he was sobbing uncontrollably. He didn't expect the weights to break his arm, he was just trying to save Jungkook from getting hurt. This reminded him of exactly why he hated the gym.

"C''mon, C'mon, C'mon," Jungkook said impatiently as the elevator seemed slower than usual. Jungkook figured it was just because for once he was actually in a rush that everything seemed to be going in slow motion.

The elevator jolted and stopped at floor 7.

"7? Why floor 7?! I need floor 1!" Jungkook yelled. He gently put Taehyung on the floor and started banging on the 'Floor 1' button of the elevator but the thing wouldn't move. Instead he tried hitting the "Door Open' button but that wouldn't open either.

"What the hell is wrong with this thing?!" Jungkook cried as he punched more buttons. Their company elevators never faulted like this and Jungkook knew right now was definitely not the time for them to start.

"Kookie...." Taehyung whined, "It hurts..."

Taehyung was curled up in a ball in the corner of the elevator clutching his broken arm to his chest. He was sweating and shaking.

Jungkook took his sweater off, "I'm going to use this to wrap it up okay? And it will help with the bleeding, but it's going to hurt."

Taehyung looked terrified. He didn't think he could handle any more pain but he knew Jungkook needed to wrap his arm up. Jungkook bent down and as soon as Jungkook grabbed Taehyung's arm the older started screaming again.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Jungkook cried and let go. He hated seeing Taehyung in so much pain.

"No, it's okay," Taehyung whimpered, "Just get it over with."

Jungkook tried again and wrapped Taehyungs arm as quickly and as accurately as he could. He couldn't stand the sound of Taehyung screaming and crying. It broke his heart. Once he was done he pulled Taehyung's face back into his chest and hugged him, "I'm so sorry hyungie."

Taehyung sobbed. "I want to get out of here!"

Jungkook realized that the elevator doors still hadn't opened.

"I know...hyung...but...we're stuck..."

"Stuck?! Jungkookie we can't be stuck! I can't just be stuck in here like this!"

"I know hyung but I don't know what to do!" Jungkook started banging on the elevator buttons again, "Nothing is working!"

"Can we call someone?" Taehyung asked desperately.

Jungkook tried both his and Taehyung's phones to call for help but neither of them were getting service.

"Yah!!!! What are we supposed to do?! I'm going to bleed to death in here!" Taehyung screamed. He was in so much pain that the thought of bleeding to death actually didn't sound half bad at this point. Anything to end his misery.

"Don't say that!" Jungkook scolded, "You're not going to die!"

Taehyung reached his good arm out and placed it on Jungkook's arm, "Please knock me out," Taehyung asked through tears.

"What?! No way! I'm not knocking you out!"

"Please Kookie! It hurts!"

"I'm not hurting you!" Jungkook whined, "I'm sure we will get out of here soon okay? Hyungs will get worried and come look for us."

"They won't know we are trapped in the damn elevator!" Taehyung shouted.

"They might when they realize they can't find us!" Jungkook's only hope was that his hyungs came looking for them. Or that the elevator would magically start working but there seemed to be no sign of that happening.

Jungkook scooted over closer to Taehyung and let his hyung rest his head in his lap. He played with Taehyung's hair and rubbed his back to try and keep him comfortable, "I'm really sorry. I should have taken the stairs."

"It's not your fault, the elevator was the sensible choice."

"I guess."

The two both realized that for right now there was nothing either of them could do. All they could do was wait. As time passed both of them dozed off and fell asleep. Jungkook was woken up by Taehyung crying and shaking him a bit.

"Huh? Hyung? What time is it?" Jungkook asked groggily.

"I don't know but I really don't feel good," Taehyung pouted. He was sweating a lot worse than when he had first hurt his arm. His arm was aching badly and Jungkook's sweater was now soaked in blood.

"You don't feel good?" Jungkook asked. He placed his hand on Taehyung's forehead and instantly noticed the fever.

"Oh no.." Jungkook cried. He felt helpless. There was nothing he could do for Taehyung. He didn't even have water to give him. He checked the time on his phone and it'd been about two hours already they'd been trapped.

"Don't panic okay? I'm sure hyungies are worried by now and looking for us," Jungkook said reassuringly. Although even if the hyungs were looking for them they wouldn't know it because neither of their phones worked.

Taehyung started coughing and Jungkook patted his back, "Just try to keep resting okay? The best thing you can do is rest." Taehyung nodded and placed his head back in Jungkook's lap and cried himself back to sleep.

Jungkook felt his heart beating with anxiety seeing Taehyung getting sick. He knew broken bones needed to be treated quickly or else they could cause an infection. He realized that if they actually weren't saved anytime soon Taehyung could get extremely sick, or worse. The maknae started crying all over again as he silently prayed and begged for someone to hurry up and come help them. And if his hyungs didn't think to check the elevators, nobody would be around to fix them until sometime tomorrow morning.

Jungkook knew Taehyung might not have until tomorrow morning. He looked at his hyung and kept gently rubbing his back. You'll be alright. You'll be alright. Why do you have to be so protective all the time? You should have just let me get the injury.

Jungkook took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He wasn't sure how long he must've fallen asleep, but he was woken up by the elevator moving.

"Hey! Taehyungie! It's working again!" Jungkook tried shaking Taehyung awake but Taehyung didn't stir.

"Hyungie wake up! We're being saved!" Jungkook stared at Taehyung and realized he wasn't moving.

"Taehyung...? Taehyung! Wake up! Hyung please!" Jungkook started to panic. He started shaking Taehyung a bit more aggressively.

Taehyung was unconscious.

Jungkook felt his forehead again. "No no no! Hyung!" His fever had gotten extremely worse.

Jungkook stood up and started screaming for help. The elevator came to a stop on the ground floor and when the door opened he saw all of his hyungs and some security there.

"Oh thank God! We were worried sick!" Jin screamed.

"HELP HIM!" Jungkook screamed pointing to Taehyung, "He broke his arm! Hyungs we've been stuck in the elevator for hours! He's sick! Help him! Please!" Jungkook couldn't stop crying. All of the hyungs were in a slight state of shock at Jungkook's words but security immediately called in medical staff and dialed for an ambulance. The members ran to Taehyungs side and also tried getting him to wake up .

"Don't touch his arm! It's broken! You'll hurt him!" Jungkook cried.

"How the hell did he break it?!" Namjoon asked in a panic.

"A machine at the gym broke and he tried to protect me and weights fell on him!"

"You've been stuck in there like this this entire time?!" Jin cried. Jungkook nodded.

"I'm so sorry hyungs I was going to carry him to the car to go to the hospital and the elevator got stuck! I'm so sorry!"

Jimin wrapped Jungkook in a tight hug, "It's not your fault. Please don't cry." Jungkook couldn't stop sobbing in Jimin's arms. The members were surrounding Taehyung trying to get him to wake up but nothing was working. When paramedics got to him they immediately poked and prodded him with IV's and took him away to the hospital.

The members followed behind and had to wait in a waiting room once they got there. Jungkook couldn't stop sobbing as he was overcome with so much guilt.

"The only reason he was even at the gym was because I asked him to come," Jungkook pouted.

"There's nothing you could have done Kookie. And if he hadn't gone then you'd also be hurt too. Nobody could have won in this situation," Yoongi said calmly.

"It should have been me!" Jungkook cried.

"Oh Jungkook-ah.." Jin walked over and pulled Jungkook into a hug, "Let's not try to worry too much okay? He is in good hands now. I'm sure he will be alright."

All of the members were extremely anxious for Taehyung but they tried to hide their worry so that Jungkook wouldn't get more upset. They couldn't imagine how scared the two must have been trapped in that elevator.

After countless hours a doctor came in and let them know Taehyung ended up with an infection and his arm needed surgery.

"But he's on the mend," the doctor said, "The infection is clearing up and his arm is nice and casted up. Who wrapped it with their sweater?"

"I did," Jungkook frowned. He wondered if doing that had made Taehyung worse.

"You stopped a lot of the bleeding by doing that. It may have even saved his life," the doctor told him.

This made Jungkook finally smile. The rest of the members patted their maknae on the back and pulled him into a hug.

"Bangtan's hero," Hobi smiled. "Can we see him?"

The doctor led them to his room. He was a bit groggy from the anesthesia but the members were so glad to see him awake and alert.

"Hyung!" Jungkook cried and ran to him. He gave his hyung a gentle hug.

"So, a broken arm, huh? That's pretty badass, really," Yoongi said smiling. Taehyung couldn't help but chuckle. Now that he wasn't in excruciating pain, he thought maybe it was pretty cool.

Taehyung showed them all his purple cast and the members were amazed by it. They all instantly started talking about what they were going to draw on it when they got home.

"How are you feeling?" Namjoon asked.

"Better than I was in that stupid elevator," Taehyung pouted and then looked at Jungkook, "Thank you for helping me."

"The doctor said Jungkook's sweater may have saved your life," Jin told Taehyung. Taehyung was surprised by the news and gestured for Jungkook to lean down and hug him. He kissed his maknae's forehead. "Thank you."

They all hung out and talked for a bit and Taehyung told the story about what happened in the gym and how he saw the machine breaking. Namjoon called their manager and told him he needed to shut the gym down until all of the equipment was inspected. Jungkook didn't mind it being shut down for a bit. He had no desire to go back any time soon.

"Oh good," Taehyung started chuckling, "Because I wasn't planning to go again either."

This made all of the members laugh. Jin ran his fingers through Taehyung's hair,

"Leave it to Taehyung to make light out of every situation."
