Bangtan at the Hospital (#3)

Adventures of Bangtan toddlers

Oh my this is my third request for Bangtan going to a hospital! This is in response to iiroyalangel and tutimeow's requests: What if Jungkook/one of the maknaes have to go to the hospital because they fell really sick/something serious happened? I'm going to combine both huehue

Quick Question: Was there a time you got so sick you had to go to the hospital?

Enjoy (P.S. I feel my quality is getting worse and worse pls bear with me...) and my updating speed is so slow nowadays

*******************************************************

"Jimin-hyung...I don't feel too good." Jimin watches as Jungkook stumbles into bed and collapses promptly on Jimin, who's hiding under his blanket with Jin-hyung's iPad (no, he totally didn't steal it. He borrowed it. Just without telling). Jimin screams at the sudden weight crushing his poor, poor tiny body and when he tries to yank Jungkook off him does he realize that Jungkook's is hot. Like, very hot. As hot as the sun.

He grabs Jungkook's arm and lets the younger piggyback on him, cringing at how hot his dongsaeng feels on him. Eventually, with a few stumbles here and there, Jimin makes it to the hyungs' bedroom.

"Hyung!" Jimin lays Jungkook down on the carpet before running over to Yoongi's bed, climbing up the small ladder to reach the top bunk.

Yoongi has his earphones plugged in, and obviously has not heard a single word that Jimin has said. Jimin pesters him, jumping onto Yoongi and squashing his hyung under him.

"HYUNG!" Jimin rips out one of Yoongi's earphones from his ear and screams into it, causing Yoongi to squeak and jump in fright.

"What in the world--?" Yoongi hisses as Jimin points to the unconscious Jungkook on the ground.

"He's dying," Jimin's out of breath, from being so scared and from carrying Jungkook all the way there. Yoongi's eyes widen and the two of them jump off the bed from the top bunk, tiny feet almost missing some rungs on the ladder. Yoongi helps heave Jungkook down to the kitchen, where Seokjin is.

"Hyung!" the two of them scream at the same time. "Jungkookie's sick!" 

Seokjin comes barrelling out of the kitchen at full speed and actually slips on one of Taehyung's toy trains which he's left right outside the kitchen. With a yell of "Kim Taehyung get your train away before I do it for you!", Seokjin turns around to find Yoongi and Jimin acting as a makeshift stretcher for Jungkook.

"What happened?" Seokjin touches Jungkook's forehead and recoils at the heat.

"Lay him down on the couch," Seokjin says, pointing to the sofa and Yoongi and Jimin do as they're told. Seokjin grabs his phone and dials Bang PD's number.

"Hyung! Hyung! Something's wrong with Jungkook! I think he's sick!" Seokjin practically screams into the phone and slams it down, turning back to Jungkook. Seokjin runs to the kitchen and grabs the thermometer. By now, they've already attracted the attention of Namjoon and Hoseok who were attempting to do their homework upstairs.

Seokjin sticks the thermometer in Jungkook's mouth, under his tongue, and waits anxiously for the beeping sound. When it does sound, he stares dumbfounded at the beeping green lights on the thermometer. Forty degrees Celsius? So high? 

The screeching of tires outside their house sends a wave of relief through Seokjin as he turns towards the door. He hears the sudden bang of the door and Bang PD rushing in. He scoops Jungkook into his arms, tells Seokjin and Yoongi to follow him, and Seokjin orders the rest to stay at home, and for Hoseok and Namjoon to take care of Taehyung and Jimin.

************************************************

"Will he be okay?" Yoongi asks Seokjin as Jungkook is lying down on their laps, body as hot as ever. Seokjin doesn't know, biting his lip (it's become a bad habit of his) as the car speeds down the lane. It doesn't take long until they reach the hospital. 

Yoongi and Seokjin step into the hospital for the first time in a long time, and they watch as Jungkook is admitted to some ward down the hallway.

"What's happened to Jungkookie?" Yoongi asks, tugging at Bang PD's leather pants.

"Jungkookie's sick," Bang PD answers, picking Yoongi up. 

"Will he get better?"

"Most likely," Bang PD says. "Now we'll just need both of you to get home and take care of the rest, okay? I'll come back for Jungkookie. Seokjin, I might contact you soon, so stay close to the phone."

"Close to the phone! Got it!" Seokjin salutes. He can't help but worry about the maknae. But then again, it's not the first time Jungkookie's gotten so sick.

"Come. I'll drive you back to the house."

**********************************************************

"Is Jungkookie okay?" "Where's Kookie?" "He's in the hospital, right?"

"Yes, he's in the hospital, and yes," Seokjin says, answering Hoseok's, Jimin's and Namjoon's questions. Yoongi's face is set in a grim expression.

"Bang PD-hyung said that he'd tell us if anything happened to Jungkookie," Seokjin says.

"Okay," Namjoon nods, understanding. It looks like they might not see Jungkook for another few hours...or even days! Jimin and Taehyung go back to playing moodily, the enthusiasm they usually have for their toy trains or bricks suddenly lost.

The rest of them spend their entire day listlessly. Namjoon is spending more time on his homework than reading his books or playing his 3DS. Hoseok is not even watching dancing videos, and that in itself is surprising. Yoongi has his earphones plugged in all day (and is actually watching the TV at the same time with Jimin), and he is probably too worried about Jungkook to even fall asleep. Taehyung is staring into thin air in his own bedroom while Seokjin is trying to bake a cake to celebrate Jungkook's eventual recovery.

It's not long until the house telephone rings, and Namjoon is the first to pick up.

"Hello?"

"This is Bang PD, is Seokjin there?"

"Yup," Namjoon holds the phone away from his ear and yells at the top of his lungs. "JIN-HYUNG!"

"Coming!" Seokjin calls from the kitchen, and puts down the bowl of batter he's mixing. He walks out to the living room and looks over at Namjoon holding the phone. "Who is it?"

"Bang PD-hyung," Namjoon says, and Seokjin takes the phone from his grasp.

"Hello?"

"Seokjin-ah, would you and everyone else like to visit Jungkook in the hospital?"

Seokjin is about to turn to ask the rest, when he finds five pairs of beady eyes looking up at him.

"Yes."

**************************************************************

"JUNGKOOKIE!" Jimin and Taehyung scream when they're inside the hospital, running around the lobby trying to catch sight of their favourite dongsaeng. Bang PD had given Seokjin Jungkook's room number.

"Quiet down!" Seokjin hisses, grabbing the two of them by their arms and pulling them back. Now, he's pretty sure that room number 505 is down that way--it's written righ there on the signboard. He guides the other five of them on over to room number 505--Jungkook's ward.

Jimin and Taehyung, not being able to wait to see their brother alive and well. Hoseok, surprisingly, is hanging around the back, a scared expression on his face. Yoongi, meanwhile, doesn't look as eager, but Seokjin can still see the worry in his eyes. Namjoon is just bombarding him with a bunch of questions--most of which Seokjin doesn't even understand.

The six of them approach the ward 505, and Seokjin pushes the door open. It's a single-person ward--Bang PD-hyung must have paid good money for this.

"Jungkookie!" Jimin and Taehyung are about to throw themselves on top of Jungkook's form huddled in the blankets when Seokjin pulls them back. Letting them loose on Jungkook now will most likely do more harm than good. In fact, he's a hundred percent certain.

Jungkook doesn't stir. In fact, he's peacefully asleep.

"Seokjin-ah," Bang PD calls him over, and Seokjin has no choice but to let go of the two 'twins' to walk over to his hyung. Bang PD holds a plastic bag in his hands, apparently two bottles inside it. He hands it over to Seokjin. "This is Jungkook's medicine--for his cough and fever. The instructions are written on the bottles."

Seokjin nods, taking out the bottles to inspect them. The instructions really are there.

He turns his attention to the other children crowding around Jungkook's bed while he's asleep. Jimin is touching his nose, only retreating a little when Jungkook scrunches up his nose in his sleep. Meanwhile, Taehyung is trying to make bunny ears with Jungkook's hair, and Yoongi is basically watching on, not even bothering to stop them. Hoseok is asking Namjoon a thousand questions on whether Jungkook will be alright, and what's even more surprising is that Namjoon can answer most of them.

It isn't long until an hour passes. Jimin, Taehyung and Hoseok are sprawled across Jungkook's bed (how that happened, Seokjin has no idea). Jungkook is still fast asleep, and even Yoongi is now leaning against the bed, head on Hoseok's back, listening to his iPod. Namjoon is deeply concentrated in his book on the Systems in the Body, and Seokjin is simply watching them (while playing Angry Birds on his phone). 

It isn't until another hour that Jungkook wakes up and gets the shock of his four-year-old life when he finds three other boys miraculously crammed onto his little bed. He yelps, smacking Taehyung's forehead in the process and knocking Taehyung off the bed. The boy screeches and lands on the ground with a thud. Hoseok is woken up by the noise, and screams his lungs out when he comes face to face with Jungkook's startled expression. Jimin is the only one who's slept through all the noise...oh, and Yoongi too.

Even Namjoon has dropped his book on Taehyung's buttocks. He lets out a yell when Taehyung gets up immediately and the book closes.

"YOU LOST MY PAGE!" Namjoon hisses, and Taehyung scrambles to his feet, grinning cheekily at his hyung.

"What just happened?" Yoongi opens his eyes a little, only to get whacked on the nose by Hoseok's shoulder. He stumbles backwards and crashes into the wall.

Seokjin watches the scene and slaps his forehead. He walks over to Jungkook's bedside, careful not to step on Namjoon's book. "How're you feeling, Kookie?"

"Bad," Jungkook answers. "But better than just now!"

"That's good to hear. PD-hyung said that you can go home tomorrow. He's just asked the doctors."

"The food here is bad too," Jungkook says. "I want hyung's food."

"I want hyung's food too!" Jimin suddenly pipes up at the mention of food. Seokjin can almost liken him to Sleeping Beauty, where food is his prince. He's always liked to squeeze Jimin's puffy cheeks.

"Alright, alright, I'll come with food tomorrow."

"You're going to leave me here with the scary uncle?" Jungkook points at the nurse in charge of the ward sitting at his computer, clicking his mouse once in a while.

"Of course not, but I can't stay throughout the night," Seokjin says. "I'll come see you first thing in the morning, okay? The doctors said that you can go home tomorrow. Be a good boy and don't cause trouble until then, okay?" 

Jungkook nods his head, huddling back in the blankets, sniffing a little. "Cold."

Seokjin chuckles. "Alright, we'll stay until we have to go, okay?"

*****************************************************************

By the time they have to leave, Jungkook is somehow fast asleep. The six others leave the hospital, heading back home.

"We'll get to see Kookie again, right?" Jimin asks on the way back.

"Yup," Seokjin nods.

"We'll get to play games with Kookie, right?" Taehyung asks.

"Yup."

"We'll get to--"

"Yup."

When they arrive back at their home, Jimin, Taehyung and Hoseok immediately get to work stuffing at least five board games into a giant plastic bag that Hoseok has found in the store room. Seokjin has retreated to the kitchen to get something to eat while Namjoon and Yoongi are watching on with amused expressions.

When Seokjin appears in the kitchen doorway with a cookie jar in his hands and a cookie in his mouth, his jaw nearly drops (and the cookie along with it).

"We're bringing these for Kookie tomorrow," Jimin says, holding up the plastic bag with all the board games.

"That's a little...too much, don't you think?" Seokjin comments, stuffing another cookie into his mouth.

"It's not too much," Hoseok blinks innocently. "It's never too much."

"There's no such thing as too much with board games, hyung," Namjoon pipes up from the couch. Yoongi nods in agreement, which Seokjin finds surprising since Yoongi never agrees with the maknaes.

"Alright, fine, fine," Seokjin mutters, taking another cookie before heading back into the kitchen to put the jar back.

"Yay!"

**************************************************************

The next day, Bang PD-hyung drives the six of them over to the hospital yet again. Jungkook is already awake and is already eating his breakfast by the time they get there. His face scrunches up with every spoon of the oatmeal and is glad when Seokjin finally brings his cheese sandwich for him (the one he always liked).

Jungkook pushes the hospital breakfast aside and makes a grab for the sandwich, which Seokjin hands over willingly. Meanwhile, the doctor arrives, and starts talking in adult talk to Bang PD-hyung. Meanwhile, the other six are crowding around Jungkook, entertaining him with Monopoly, UNO and the Game of Life while the adults talked.

"The doctors just need to make sure that Kookie can be discharged from the hospital already--that his fever isn't too high," Bang PD says, and Seokjin nods. The other five clears for the doctor to approach Jungkook with a thermometer. When he hears the beep sound, he peers over curiously to see the temperature.

"Its thirty-eight degrees. He should be safe at home," the doctor says. "I guess he can be discharged now. If his temperature ever raises to above forty degrees again, be sure to call."

"Alright," Seokjin does a salute.

"We'll have to settle some admin things," Bang PD says. "We can bring Jungkookie home after that." Seokjin nods once again and turns back to Jungkook's bed. Game pieces are lying all across the bed, and even some have dropped onto the floor. The Game of Life board is almost torn apart, and the Monopoly money are lying everywhere, just like the UNO cards.

"Clean it up before we leave," he says in the most commanding tone he can muster, which elicits a snigger from Namjoon.

****************************************************

"Jungkook! Medicine!" Seokjin calls from the kitchen. Jungkook waddles over to Seokjin, still bundled up in blankets of all sorts. Namjoon's Ryan blanket, Yoongi's Kumamon blanket, Jimin's Angry Birds blanket, Taehyung's UFO blanket and Hoseok's flower blanket plus Seokjin's almost unseeable Super Paper Mario blanket. He looks like he's been splashed with rainbow paint.

"Here's for fever, and here's for cough," Seokjin says, giving Jungkook the two cups of medicine. Jungkook's face contorts into that of disgust when he downs the first cup. He grudgingly drinks the second cup.

"Hyung!"

Seokjin watches as Namjoon runs into the room, panicky.

"Hyung! Tae and Jiminnie and Hoseokkie are--!"

"What? Did Tae and Jiminnie get in trouble again?" Seokjin asks uninterestedly, putting the medicine back onto the shelves.

"Well, you could say that...actually, not really," Namjoon says, suddenly smiling. Seokjin doesn't know whether he's supposed to be solemn or not. "Y'know..."

Seokjin finally catches on. "Oh no, you're not..."

"Yes...Yes, I am," Namjoon says, holding his hand out. "I need the thermometer, hyung."

Seokjin buries his face in his hands.

Chapter 38: Ah, so cute! I really enjoy your stories, ty!
I cook for a living, but since I grew up with western dishes and that's what my current clientele prefer I am proudest of my soondubu jjigae which my family have been the taste testers for. However, at work, my coworkers favourite is my macaroni and cheese while the clients prefer the sweet and sour pork.
Watching RapMon chopping an onion was truly entertaining!
