Hoseok's POV
I slept through my alarm for the second time in a row, though it's not really an issue since Jungkook is our own personal one. He had barged into my room and rolled on top of me, barely five minutes after my alarm went off.
I usually laugh it off, wrestling with him as I'm awake, but for the last two days, I couldn't quite get the energy to do so.
"It's morning, Hyung!"
He says right into my ears loudly, making me whine. I push him a little and he slides off of me.
"Come on, Hyung!"
He says, now pulling onto my hand. I knew I had to wake up. I opened one of my eyes, face crinkling up to manage the bright light that seeps through the window. I hated that Jungkook had opened the blinds.
I push his hands off of myself and sit up, rubbing my eyes to get the sleep out of them. There remains an itchy feeling right behind my throat. I don't blame it though. I did strain my voice a lot yesterday.
"What time is it?"
"It's ten minutes past twelve."
We usually go to sleep late at night, so it's not a surprise that we sleep until afternoon. Lately, it had been even more hectic. We are shooting for the new BTS in the Soop Season 2. Though it may look fun, it takes quite a lot of our energy.
Unlike other times, this time, we had to travel to a different country for the shoot. We are currently in Ottawa in Canada, which means the temperature even during summer is quite decent. You don't really feel the need to walk around naked because of how hot it gets because again, the temperature remains quite decent in Ottawa even during summers.
I brushed my teeth and washed my face, before I walk to the back of our wooden house that we rented. The boys had set in a small dinning area in the backyard and it's really fun to watch our pets run around while we eat.
By the time Jin Hyung serves us the food, my tiredness is long gone. Jimin and Taehyung laughs as they talk about their dumpling incident that had happened while I laugh at the irony. They didn't find it funny when the incident actually occurred.
"Pass me the water bottle."
I ordered specifically nobody. Jungkook passes me one, and I chug down quite a lot from it. For some reason, I felt incredibly thirsty. My throat felt too dry and the itchy feeling just won't go away, making me cough.
"Are you okay?"
Jin Hyung asks me and I nod my head. It's probably the dry weather which caused this irritation. Which is why he didn't question me further.
Speaking of the weather, it's gotten quite cloudy by the time all of us had finished our breakfast. Jungkook took Bam inside, though the dog kept barking and wiggling it's tail, excited to got out again. I give his head a little pat and he jumps onto me, wiggling his tail even more aggressively. I like how Bam is so unbiased. He loves to play with all of us and spends time with all of us.
I laugh as I go inside the house as well. It looked so much darker, though it was only afternoon. It had gotten much cloudier in a few minutes and it had started to thunder a little as well.
It soon started to rain. Jimin and Jungkook smiled excitedly at each other. They knew it's play time. It might sound childish, but they really love playing with water guns in the rain. And we let them. It feels so nice to watch the younger ones play and have their own time. It helps them cope with the stress as well.
Jin Hyung brought out all of the water guns we had. If the company knew, they wouldn't have allowed us to bring them with ourselves, so we had to snuck them in.
There were a total of eight guns. Jungkook immediately lunged for the biggest one, making Jimin whine. I laugh at his childishness.
"Don't be silly, Jimin. It's just a water gun."
"But his is bigger."
He pouts, lunging for the second largest in his view. I grab a random one too. The size doesn't really matter for me. I barely play with it even. I just sometimes use it on the maknaes, when they spray water at me and usually they love it, and that's all I ask for.
"The bigger it is, the effective!"
Jimin continues while Jungkook had already disappeared into the backyard, giggling as he filled water from the pool. Taehyung grabbed Jimin and pulled him out, while he kept whining about wanting the biggest one.
The hyung line shakes their head at their younger members' childishness, along with me. It's kinda cute though. The four of us follow the rest and sit under the shed in the backyard.
A random conversation breaks out among us, about beach, nature, ARMYs. Suddenly, someone shoots water at me, drenching me completely. I gasp for a moment, the cold water having me stunt. Then I realize, that the maknaes had aimed at me all at once.
I stand up, pretending to be angry at them.
"You little rats!"
They giggle as they run far away from me while I rush to the pool with my water gun, trying to fill it up but they kept squirting cold water at me.
A sudden tingling sensation made it's way up my nose, making me release a harsh sneeze. The tingling didn't go away at all, making me sneeze more. I didn't feel anyone squirting water at my back anymore.
"Hyung, are you okay?"
Taehyung asked in concern. I took the chance to stand up abruptly and aim at him. He quickly aimed his water gun back at me to protect himself. Jimin and Jungkook came to his rescue too. It's not fair that I had to fight all three of them by myself. But it's fun.
I don't don't how long we've been out in the rain but it had now started to rain heavier. It had to have been a long amount of time since I was starting to feel pretty tired. I had to run behind the maknaes a lot today. I couldn't understand how they weren't tired.
Once they had stopped chasing me and we're chasing each other, I slowly made my way back to the shed.
"What time is it?"
"It's almost four."
We've been playing for almost three hours? I didn't even realized so much time had passed by. Maybe it's because the maknaes make my day so fun that I lose track of time. I nod, starting to feel the tiredness really hit me.
"I'm kinda tired. I'll go back inside."
Jin Hyung hummed and I made my way back inside. I changed myself into washed, dry clothes and sigh, plopping myself onto the bed.
I take my phone out and start scrolling through the internet. ARMYs are so nice. They make me smile. I go through a few videos of ARMYs dancing to our dance challenges and I'm impressed. My fans are so talented. I go to Weverse and write a sweet message for ARMYs, just to let them know how much I love them.
I start feeling sleepy in the process, so I did what my body asked for. It's the only day off we have and I'm going to use it to the fullest.

Jimin's POV
It wasn't so likely of Hoseok Hyung to get tired so easily though I do agree he worked really hard yesterday. I dropped my water gun in the laundry basket, on top of all the dirty clothes and made my way inside.
It was really dark inside and I've just noticed how hard it was raining. I made my way to Hoseok Hyung and my shared bedroom. The room was dark as well. It was very unlikely of Hoseok hyung to keep the light off. Whenever he's alone in a room, he just has to keep at least one of the lights on. He's absolutely terrified of the dark. Maybe it wasn't so dark when he came in.
I was too wet. I needed to change but it was almost impossible to see, so I flicked one of the lights on and rumbled through the wardrobe.
I went to the bathroom and changed myself into the new clothes and returned. Just as I was about to switch off the light, I noticed something wrong with Hoseok Hyung.
He was sleeping, but he didn't look peaceful at all. He was sweating a lot and was breathing through his mouth. His breath sounded raspy. And although he was sweating, he kept shivering. I approached him and laid my right hand on his forehead.
I was right.
He had a fever. I immediately switched on the rest of the lights to get a proper look at him. He frowned a bit, the light having disturbed him, but didn't stir awake.
His cheeks were a bit flushed red and he had already sweat through his shirt, that I had noticed, was different from what he wore when he was playing with us.
I quickly went to the dinning room and grabbed the thermometer from the first aid drawer and came back into the room. I climb up his bed, and he whines a little, but still doesn't wake up. I place the thermometer in his ear which, surprisingly, didn't bother him and wait for it to measure the temperature. When it beeped, I took it to check his temperature.
"One-Hundred and one degree Fahrenheit."
I sigh, dropping the thermometer on the nightstand. Hoseok Hyung moves a little, finally awake. He takes a look at me and I could seethe tiredness in his eyes. They were a bit red and watery, probably from the fever. He showed me a smile anyways and asked.
"Done playing?"
"You've got a fever, Hyung."
I say, ignoring his question. He frowned a bit and looked away, laying in silence for a bit before he spoke again.
"Fever?"
He seemed like he had no idea about the fever, so I skipped my next question about if he had an idea how he got it.
"Yeah. Have you been feeling unwell?"
He sighs, rubbing his face with his palms and then shrugs.
"I've been feeling a bit odd since yesterday. But I thought it was just exhaustion."
I nod. I have been there too, where I thought I was just exhausted, but in real, I had fallen sick. It's just that we work so hard, it's now almost impossible to differentiate between exhaustion and sickness because we've made ourselves sick by overworking quite a lot of times, and the next day, we were just fine.
"I'll tell the other members then."
I say as I toppled down from the bed and just as I was about to leave, hyung spoke again.
"But don't bother them to much. They're tired too and I'll be fine."
I nod, knowing the others will worry anyways.

Hoseok's POV
Barely a few minutes after Jimin left, the door to my room flew open again and Taehyung and Jungkook barged in. They climbed on my bed from either sides, and laid down beside me, hugging me from both sides.
"Are you tired?"
"Do you feel sick?"
"Does anything hurt?"
I laugh at their unnecessary concern. I feel just fine. A little tired maybe, but they're acting like I've caught some serious sickness.
"Just a little tired. Don't worry."
I ruffled their hair while they remain stuck to me. These two usually get really clingy when someone is sick and they'd drown you in their love and care. They might be silly sometimes, but it's the little things that they do that'll make you feel better.
"Okay, but if you need something, tell us! We'll always be at your service!"
Taehyung says with a salute and I laugh. The laugh tickles my throat and I cough. This time, it comes out chesty. At the same time, Yoongi Hyung comes in. He hears it and give me a concerned look.
"That sounds nasty."
He makes it sound disgusting, but I know he isn't disgusted. He just speaks like that. Jimin comes in with some fever reducers and painkillers, along with a glass of water.
"I don't need the painkillers."
I say. Jimin remains quiet as he takes out a fever reducer pill from the strip and hands it to me. I take it and then he hands me the glass of water.
"If in case, you need it later."
He leaves the rest of the medicine on the nightstand and leaves. Taehyung and Jungkook keeps hugging me firmly, not letting me move. So I give in and lay quietly but soon enough, their warmth makes me drowsy and I fall asleep again.
________________
I jolt awake, sitting up straight in my bed, a terrible nightmare having woken me up. Jungkook and Taehyung was not there beside me anymore and it was dark.
I feel something rise up my throat. Clamping a hand over my mouth, I rushed to the bathroom as fast as my feet could take me. I would've missed the sink, had I been a second late. A mouthful of vomit makes it's way out and the taste of it makes me gag, bringing up more vomit.
Someone pats my back, but I couldn't turn to see as I threw up more. He pushes the door shut, locking it and removes the fingers from my forehead.
"You're burning up."
It's Jin Hyung. I'm glad it's someone older than me. I would've felt a bit embarrassed if it was one of the maknaes. I whimper a bit, my stomach spasms and I gag again, but this, it's just a little bile that came up.
Just as I got some time to breath, I notice that some of it did indeed missed the sink. I grimace at it. I have no energy but I'll have to clean it up.
"I'll clean it."
My voice comes of scratchy and it itches my throat. I give a small cough, but it only makes my throat hurt.
"No, it's fine. I'll clean it. Go back to your room. I'm coming."
I had no energy to argue so I followed what he asked me to. Jimin was dead asleep on his bed, his entire body covered in the blanket but only his left leg sticking out.
My bones ache terribly, making me want anything but to just plop myself onto my own bed, ready to pass out but Jin Hyung wakes me up again.
"Take these."
He hands me two pills and I put them into my mouth, without even wanting to know what the pills are for. I just want to sleep. He hands me the water and I take small sips of it, not wanting to throw it up again. He takes the glass from me and sets it on the nightstand. I lay down on the bed and Jin Hyung tucks me in with the blankets and leaves.
I thought he had left for the night, but a few seconds later, he appears again, this time with a thermometer. I whine. I don't like how cold it feels in my ear. I ignores me as he uncapped it and put it in my ear, but this time, I choose not to whine. It beeps loudly against my ear, giving me goosebumps.
He pulls it out, and sighs when he takes a look at it.
"You're really sick, Hoseok-ah."
I groan, as if I don't feel that already. My shirt sticks to my body, and no matter how many times I change position, I'm just not comfortable.
I want cuddles, though I know if it's a stomach bug or something, I shouldn't really be near him to avoid him from catching it. But then again, he'd been with me for this long. He probably has it already. I open my arms towards him whole I'm already laying down and he looks at me, in a little disbelief.
"Hoseok, you're not a child anymore."
He says and I puff my cheeks a little. I really want to hug someone while I'm sleeping, because I'm just so cold and uncomfortable. I understand his hesitation though. I'm not the one to ask for hugs or cuddles when I'm sick. Those are special treatment reserved only for the maknaes. But though I never asked for it, I always wanted it whenever I'm sick. Today, though, I don't the will power to push away my desire.
Hyung looks at Jimin for a while, making sure he isn't going to wake up any sooner since he's gonna make a huge deal out of it and it's going to make Jin Hyung embarrassed.
Not that I care.
He plays with my hair while we lay down. He knows I like it. It help me fall asleep since my mom used to do that to put me to sleep when I was younger and I don't really think I ever grew out of it.
That still help and I fall asleep again while hugging Hyung.

Jin's POV
I slip myself out of Hoseok's hold, once I'm sure he's sound asleep. I'm glad Jimin was not awake. He would teased my about it till I get wrinkles and all my hair is grey.
Anyways, I need to tell our manager. Hoseok is too poorly. He need a few days off of work. I walk to the kitchen to prepare for bowl of iced water for him and pick a few clean flannels.
I made my way back to Hoseok's room. His face was a little pale and he was shivering even with the blanket on. He looked tired even though he slept most of the day. I wet a flannel and put it on his forehead. I wet another one and start to wipe him with it. It would help to cool his temperature down a bit. I stop occasionally to change the cloth in his forehead and then resume wiping him again.
I heard something make a noise. Something made of wood. More like a bed. But I'm not moving that much. Neither is Hoseok.
Jimin suddenly pops up from behind.
"Is he too sick."
I nod my head. Whenever Hoseok gets sick, he's usually like this, but we never really get to take proper care of him because of work. I hope he get better sooner, now that we're here for him.
Jimin slides inside the blanket beside Hoseok and hugs him. I let him, because why not?
I check his temperature again. It's a bit lower. Now all we need to do is let him rest as much as he can.
Morning comes around and Hoseok looks much better when he joins us for breakfast. By that time, I've already told the manager an had today's shooting canceled. The other members know about his condition previous night too and they shower him with attention. Hoseok seems to be liking it a bit too much.
I know I sound really evil when I say I want my members to fall sick more often. I just love taking care of them. And the way the others provide the victim with so much love and care, also warms my heart a lot as well.
I just love this family of mine very much!

3276 words.
Quite happy with how it turned out. It hope you like the changes in perspective too. How is it?
Anyways, have a great day and I love you!
Bai!
