Celestial Encounters : A BTS One Shot Series

19 - RM

Late night Snacks

The dorm was quiet, bathed in the soft glow of moonlight filtering through the curtains. BTS had finally wrapped up their long day of rehearsals and performances, and the members were all sound asleep, exhausted from their hectic schedule.

But as the clock ticked past midnight, Namjoon found himself tossing and turning restlessly in bed, his stomach grumbling with hunger. Unable to ignore the gnawing emptiness any longer, he decided to sneak quietly out of his room and make himself a bowl of ramyeon in the kitchen.

Careful not to wake the other members, Namjoon tiptoed down the hallway, his footsteps silent against the carpeted floor. He reached the kitchen and flicked on the light, blinking against the sudden brightness as he rummaged through the cupboards for a packet of instant noodles.

With practiced ease, Namjoon filled the kettle with water and set it on the stove to boil, his mouth watering in anticipation of the warm, comforting meal that awaited him. But as he reached for a packet of seasoning, disaster struck.

The kettle slipped from Namjoon's grasp, tumbling to the ground with a loud crash that echoed through the silent dorm. Namjoon's heart skipped a beat as scalding water splashed onto his foot, searing pain shooting through his entire body.

With a strangled cry, Namjoon stumbled backwards, clutching his injured foot as darkness closed in around him. The pain was overwhelming, a white-hot agony that threatened to consume him whole.

In his dazed state, Namjoon barely registered the sound of footsteps approaching, but before he knew it, Jungkook was there at his side, his hands gentle as he helped Namjoon to sit down on the floor.

"Hyung, what happened?" Jungkook asked, his voice laced with concern.

Namjoon winced, his breath coming in shallow gasps as he fought to keep the pain at bay. "The kettle... slipped," he managed to choke out, his words barely audible over the pounding of his own heartbeat.

Jungkook's eyes widened in alarm as he took in the sight of Namjoon's scalded foot. Without hesitation, he sprang into action, grabbing a nearby towel and wrapping it around Namjoon's injured foot to soothe the burn.

"Stay here, hyung," Jungkook said firmly, his voice tinged with urgency. "I'm going to get help."

And with that, he dashed out of the kitchen, leaving Namjoon alone with his pain and his thoughts. But before the darkness could claim him completely, Namjoon felt a surge of gratitude wash over him for the younger man who had come to his aid in his hour of need.

It wasn't long before the other members began to stir, drawn out of their slumber by the commotion in the kitchen. Jin was the first to arrive on the scene, his eyes wide with concern as he took in the sight of Namjoon clutching his injured foot.

"What happened?" Jin asked, his voice filled with worry.

Namjoon swallowed hard, his throat dry with pain. "The kettle... slipped," he repeated, his words barely audible.

Suga appeared next, his brow furrowed with concern as he took in the scene before him. "We need to get him to the hospital," he said firmly, his voice leaving no room for argument.

Jungkook returned just then, a look of determination on his face as he nodded in agreement. "I'll call a taxi," he said, already reaching for his phone.

Together, the three of them carefully helped Namjoon to his feet and guided him out of the dorm and into the waiting taxi. Namjoon's head swam with pain as they drove through the quiet streets of Seoul, the city lights blurring into a hazy blur outside the window.

At the hospital, Namjoon was whisked away to the emergency room, where doctors quickly assessed the extent of his injuries. Thankfully, the burns were not as severe as they initially appeared, but Namjoon would still need to rest and recuperate for several days.

Jin even went so far as to prepare homemade meals for Namjoon, carefully crafting dishes that were both nutritious and delicious to aid in his healing process.

Suga, ever the pragmatic one, focused on keeping Namjoon's spirits up during his recovery. He spent hours by Namjoon's side, engaging him in conversation and distracting him from the pain with stories and jokes. Suga's calm and reassuring presence provided a steady source of comfort for Namjoon, helping to alleviate his anxiety and fears.

Jungkook, who had been the first to come to Namjoon's aid after the accident, remained by his side throughout his recovery, offering a quiet strength and support that was both comforting and reassuring. He took on the role of Namjoon's constant companion, never straying far from his side and always ready to lend a helping hand whenever needed.

And as Namjoon's foot slowly began to heal and he regained his strength, the staff couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in the role they had played in supporting him during his recovery. For in the end, it was their collective efforts, both big and small, that helped Namjoon through his darkest moments and brought him back to health once again.
