Celestial Encounters : A BTS One Shot Series

Sick - Jimin

Jimin stared down at the bowl of spicy noodles in front of him, the steam wafting up in tantalizing swirls. His mouth watered, and despite the warnings from his fellow BTS members, he dug in with gusto. The first bite was heavenly, the perfect combination of spicy and savory. But by the time he had slurped up the last noodle, he was starting to feel the burn.

Later that evening, as the group lounged around the living room of their dorm, Jimin's discomfort began to show. He shifted restlessly on the couch, his face contorted in a grimace.

"Jimin hyung, are you okay?" Jungkook asked, his brow furrowing with concern.

Jimin shook his head, pressing a hand to his stomach. "I think I ate too much spicy food," he admitted, his voice tinged with regret.

"Hyung, we told you not to eat so much," Taehyung chimed in, his tone a mix of sympathy and exasperation. He reached over to ruffle Jimin's hair gently.

Jimin let out a small whimper, curling up on the couch. His stomach churned painfully, and he squeezed his eyes shut, trying to block out the discomfort.

"Let's get him something to help," Namjoon suggested, getting up from his spot. "I'll make some ginger tea. It should help settle your stomach."

While Namjoon busied himself in the kitchen, Jin and Yoongi gathered around Jimin, offering their support. Jin placed a comforting hand on Jimin's shoulder while Yoongi fetched a warm blanket, draping it over the suffering member.

"Here, Jimin-ah," Yoongi said softly, tucking the blanket around him. "This should help you feel a bit better."

Jimin managed a weak smile, appreciating their care. Despite his pain, it was moments like these that reminded him how much he valued his bond with the other members.

Namjoon returned with a steaming cup of ginger tea, handing it to Jimin. "Sip this slowly. It should help soothe your stomach."

Jimin nodded, taking the cup with shaky hands. The warmth of the tea was a small comfort, and he took a careful sip, the ginger easing some of the discomfort.

"How are you feeling now?" Hoseok asked, sitting down beside Jimin and rubbing his back gently.

"A little better," Jimin murmured, though the pain was still evident in his eyes. "Thank you, guys."

The members settled around Jimin, offering words of encouragement and support. Jungkook and Taehyung, however, had other ideas. They exchanged a glance, silently agreeing on their next course of action.

"Jimin-hyung, come here," Jungkook said, patting the space between him and Taehyung on the couch.

Jimin blinked, confused, but he complied, scooting over to sit between the two younger members. To his surprise, they both wrapped their arms around him in a gentle embrace.

"You're going to be okay, hyung," Taehyung said softly, resting his head on Jimin's shoulder. "We're here for you."

Jungkook nodded, hugging Jimin a little tighter. "Just relax. We'll take care of you."

Jimin felt a wave of warmth wash over him, not just from the physical closeness but from the emotional support his members were giving him. Despite the pain in his stomach, he felt a sense of peace and comfort in their presence.

As the night wore on, Jimin's discomfort gradually lessened, the combination of ginger tea, warmth, and the affection of his members working its magic. Jungkook and Taehyung stayed close, their cuddles and soft reassurances helping to calm Jimin's whining and pouting.

Eventually, Jimin fell into a peaceful sleep, his head resting on Taehyung's shoulder. Jungkook, noticing Jimin's steady breathing, smiled softly and gently extricated himself from the embrace, careful not to wake him.

The other members watched with fond smiles as Jimin slept soundly, the earlier pain now just a memory.

"Looks like he's finally getting some rest," Jin whispered, his eyes filled with relief.

"Yeah," Namjoon agreed. "He'll be back to his usual self by tomorrow."

Hoseok chuckled softly. "Let's just hope he listens to us next time when we tell him not to overdo it with the spicy food."

The group shared a quiet laugh, the room filled with a sense of camaraderie and care. In the end, it was moments like these that defined their bond—taking care of each other through thick and thin, and always being there to provide comfort and support when needed.

As the night deepened, the members gradually settled down, each finding a comfortable spot to rest. Jimin, cradled between Jungkook and Taehyung, continued to sleep peacefully, his earlier pain forgotten in the warmth of their embrace. And as the stars twinkled outside, the dorm was filled with a sense of calm and unity, the members' bond stronger than ever.
