~~~~~

Just days before a big concert in Seoul, Taehyung fell and hit his head pretty hard.

His doctor had advised him not to do the concert - because it would make his head injury worse - and to instead stay at home to heal.

He was obviously distraught that he'd be letting army down, that he couldn't see them and interact with them, but he was able to keep his emotions in check pretty well while he was bidding the other members goodbye the day before the concert.

It hurt even more because he wasn't even allowed to go with them and stay backstage to support them.

Once the others were gone, Taehyung was pretty much only allowed to lay in bed with dim lights. 

One of the staff was there while the others were gone to make sure Taehyung was okay, but even with the man there, Taehyung felt alone.

He watched the concert live, crying as he watched his brothers perform for their fans without him.

He felt as though he had let them, both the fans and the members, down.

It was a day later that the others were back.

It was only three days, but it felt so much longer.

Taehyung went and greeted them at the door, hugging them all tightly, asking how the concert was.

They each went on to tell him about it, and although Tae was happy to listen, he was also holding back his tears.

Once the others were done telling him about the concert, they all went to their room, exhausted, to sleep.

Tae decided to go back to his.

But he didn't sleep. He cried.

Maybe he was crying too much, but he was waiting for that concert for months, putting so much time and dedication into getting the dance right, the words right – only for it to be ripped out from under him.

He hadn't heard his bedroom door open and close, but he did feel it when his bed dipped down, signalling that someone had sat there.

Taehyung looked over, seeing Jimin there, smiling sadly at him.

Taehyung sat up, and fell into Jimin's arms.

"Oh, V," Jimin said sadly, hugging Taehyung tightly, running his hand along his back.

Jimin let Taehyung cry, lying them both down under the covers.

"I let army down, Jimin, after months of them waiting."

"No, Tae, you didn't let them down," Jimin said softly, "they were obviously sad you weren't able to go, but they were also very concerned for you. They all hope you recover soon, and they can't wait to see you at our next concert."

Taehyung didn't reply. Instead, he continued crying into Jimin's chest.

Jimin didn't seem to mind. He simply rubbed Taehyung's back, running his other hand through his hair.

Eventually, Taehyung fell asleep.

Jimin followed soon after, still exhausted from the past three days.
