BTS Oneshots

Stuck In An Elevator

"We're gonna die we're not gonna make it it's the end of the world the end is near there's gonna be an alien abduction and then the great flood all over followed by-"

"TAEHYUNG!" Jimin cried. "Would you please stop that?"

He was greeted with a whimper. "How can I not rant? It's pitch black in here!"

"Doesn't give you a reason to panic like that," cuts in the maknae, who was growing annoyed with the nonstop rambling of whatever.

"It's been fourteen hours," Taehyung reports.

Jungkook rolls his eyes. "No it's been one hour. Are you even counting right hyung?"

"Don't judge me!"

It was Jimin's turn to look at the ceiling. "I want you to calm down Taehyung or you're gonna end up hyperventilating and hallucinating."

Silence then "Well there's actually an eighty percent chance that-"

"Tae!"

"Alright okay fine you don't have to shout at me," he grumbles.

"Well you weren't gonna shut up if I didn't interrupt you so that's that."

Jungkook whistles in appreciation. "So sassy Jimin-hyung."

Taehyung snorts. "No it's called being savage."

"Oh for the love of- hyung please you have to calm down," Jungkook tells his younger hyung, trying to keep the patience in.

A few seconds of serene silence before "Oh my gosh what was that?!"

The other two flinched at the loudness and shrillness of Taehyung's voice that chills actually ran down Jimin's spine and Jungkook felt like his eardrums would burst.

They've been stuck in the elevator for a while now. The hyungs were first to reach the bottom then it was the maknae line's turn. But for some reason the little box stopped moving and here Jimin and Jungkook have to listen to their friend rant and panic.

Currently he was saying something about water but Jimin had had enough and so covered his mouth. He and Jungkook reveled the quiet that followed.

"Taehyung," he starts slowly. He hears a muffled "Hm?" from his best friend. "Jungkookie and I would really appreciate it if you calmed down. If you can't do it for yourself can you do it for us?" His friend's head bobbed as if nodding. "Okay I'm gonna let go and I want you to count till one hundred. I also want you to focus on your breathing." Another bob. Satisfied, the first maknae let go.

As Taehyung was in his own corner concentrating on not losing his mind, the other two were on the other side patiently waiting.

"Wow Jimin-hyung you actually made him relax a bit," Jungkook praises his older hyung.

"If I didn't control myself I would've punched him asleep," Jimin told the younger. "But I can't do it since he's my best friend. I wanted him to calm down so he could stop overthinking."

Jungkook thought about it. "Well seemed to work." He earned a nod.

After what seemed like three minutes Taehyung was calmer. He talked to the two as if nothing was wrong, though he did seem to flit his eyes to the door now and then.

They played Truth or Dare, where some secrets were revealed. The 95z played Patty Cake and Jungkook thought it was ridiculous but inside he was cooing at how cute they looked.

Another hour had passed still they were stuck. Jungkook checked his phone idly and what he saw made his eyes go wide for a moment. He tapped on Taehyung's shoulder a lot of times but he was being ignored since he was sharing something with Jimin. Annoyed at the never-ending tap he finally turns, brows scrunched.

"What-" But he didn't get to finish because the phone was shoved in his line of sight. Tae had to blink a few times to adjust to the sudden light and when he did he whooped for joy. Jimin smiled at the prospect of getting out of here. There was a signal!

Just as Jungkook was about to call for any of his hyungs, his phone rang showing 'Mama Bird' and he answered the call straight away.

"- he said he was going to- oh my gosh Jungkook!" The boy had to pull his phone away from his ear in fear of the eldest totally disrupting his hearing. "Are you okay? Where are you? Where are Jimin and Taehyung? Are you safe? We are but we're worried sick about you. There's a black out here and- Yah! Yoongi-yah!"

Suddenly the smooth voice of the second eldest was heard. Jungkook had put it on speaker mode after tearing the phone away from his ear. "Jungkook-ah. We know you're stuck in the elevator with Jimin and Tae. Are you guys alright?"

Jungkook nodded, but then realized that Yoongi couldn't see so he spoke up. "Yeah we're okay here. V-hyung's hyperventilating a while ago but he's okay now." He felt a soft smack on his shoulder and he didn't have to guess twice for the culprit.

"We're all down here in the lobby and there's some guys trying to fix the elevator so just hang tight okay?"

"Hang tight?" Taehyung squeaks. Yoongi thought it was a bad idea to use that expression since they were talking about elevators so he rephrased it.

"Don't die."

Taehyung bawled and the trio heard some scuffling in the other line. Then Seokjin's voice was heard. "Baby baby calm down Taehyung. What Yoongi meant was stay safe okay? Just hold tight to Jiminie and Jungkookie. The guys are gonna come get you okay? Take deep breaths TaeTae join me." He sniffed air and Taehyung smiled at the effort so he wiped away the few tears that stained his eyes and giggled. "There that's better. You guys take care of yourselves okay? Hyung loves you."

Seokjin must have thought that the line went dead since they heard him scolding Yoongi. "'Don't die'?! What the heck Yoongi? Are you trying to scare the kid? You know how Kook said he already panicked. You fickle little brat!"

The maknaes smiled and Jungkook cut the call. Jimin wrapped Taehyung in a side hug and combed his hair. It seemed to calm him down considerably.

"We're getting out of here guys I'm sure of it," Jimin braced, smiling positively. The younger ones copied his smile.

Sure enough after thirty minutes (Jungkook was counting; don't blame him it's the elevator's fault) they heard some banging and clanging and they stood up to ready themselves. Light creeped in and after more grunts and pants the doors fully opened. Three guys were there to help them. So the idols all followed them down since they haven't reached the bottom floor and when they did, they were simultaneously greeted by warm hugs.

Jimin was enveloped by Hoseok, Seokjin came to dote upon Taehyung, and Namjoon patted the maknae's hair, ruffling it and putting it back into place.

Yoongi approached Taehyung and the younger flung himself on the rapper, who hugged him back nonetheless. "Love you rascal."

Taehyung laughed a bit, his deep laugh vibrating the other's chest. "Love you too hyung."

"And I'm sorry if I scared the wits outta you. I got a real beating for that." He met eyes with the eldest, who was now smiling approvingly.

Hoseok was still fixing Jimin's hair, and he let it be with a soft and amused smile. It's not everyday Hobi acts his age so it's nice to see him as a hyung for some times.

"Okay that's enough hyung."

"But Chim there's a strand there."

Namjoon chuckled as they all started outside. "Leave it be Hobi-hyung let's go."

The maknaes linked arms with each other and chatted merrily while the others would look back occassionally and smile.
