Yoongi wasn't the best at expressing his love for the member's verbally, his love language was acts of service. Which was why whenever a member got sick or hurt, he immediately swooped in and hovered protectively, catering to their every want and need.

So when Jungkook started displaying symptoms of a possible cold, Yoongi was already monitoring the maknae and doing what he could to help. At work he made sure Jungkook never ran out of water, and was constantly reminding him to drink more than usual to stay hydrated.

The other members thought it was absolutely adorable when Yoongi got like this. Hobi always joked, "It's so cute when you go into mom mode." Yoongi would always shyly smile and blush. He couldn't help it, he cared about everyone so much. Unfortunately for the rapper it also meant a lot of anxiety when someone was sick or hurt. His members were his number one people in the entire world and the thought of them struggling with absolutely anything broke his heart. He would end up in a spiral of thinking 'what if this gets worse.' It was also the hardest for him when it was Jungkook going through something, him being the youngest made everyone extremely overprotective. Especially Yoongi.

While dance practice continued, Jungkook was noticeably out of breath and more exhausted than he usually was. Jimin was the first to notice it and told the maknae to take longer breaks and don't use too much effort if he wasn't feeling well. When Jungkook didn't listen and continued to put in 100% anyway, Yoongi went over and lightly scolded him saying that he needed to not over work his body if he didn't want to get more sick.

"I'm sorry, hyung," Jungkook frowned. He had a slight headache and a sore throat, but other than that he felt okay. The symptoms didn't get worse until later that night at home.

While everyone was hanging out around the house after a hard day of practice, Jungkook constantly felt a tickle in his throat that was making him cough a lot. No matter how much he coughed it wouldn't go away. Yoongi patted his back and then placed a water bottle to his lips, "Maybe you should get checked out at the doctors."

Namjoon turned to them, "Hyung don't you think that's a bit much? It's probably just a cold." None of the other members experienced half the worry and anxiety that Yoongi did when it came to this stuff.

"Well if it's just a cold, then they can give him cold medicine," Yoongi said defensively.

"Hyung," Jungkook started, "I think I'm oka-" he fell into a coughing fit.

"See?" Yoongi gestured to the youngest, "He needs to see a doctor."

Taehyung couldn't help but tease his hyung, "Thought you were his doctor?" This made all of the members chuckle. Yoongi picked a pillow up off the living room couch and threw it at Taehyung.

"Yah! He's going to the doctor!" Yoongi said again. He looked to Jungkook who was ready to protest, but Yoongi gave him a look that everyone knew not to mess with. Don't argue with me.

Jungkook sighed and got up, making his way to the car. As Yoongi was following him out he overheard Jin tease, "Maybe they will hire you while you're there!" Yoongi playfully gave his hyung the finger before slamming the door closed.

On the way there Jungkook kept coughing. He claimed he was okay and that it was just a tickle in his throat and that it was a bit sore. However he wasn't telling the whole truth. His chest was progressively starting to hurt more and more but he kept that from his hyung as not to scare him. He knew how anxious he tended to get. He sat there and rubbed his chest, trying to hide his small little winces every time he let out another cough.

Thankfully the doctors office was empty so Jungkook was seen right away. The doctor took his vitals and listened to his breathing through a stethoscope. The doctor said that he did seem a bit raspy when he breathed, but it wasn't anything too concerning. Jungkook asked if he could listen to it himself and the doctor let him.

Jungkook was fascinated by the sound of his own breathing and told Yoongi to take a listen too. The rapper frowned when he did. He turned back to the doctor, "That doesn't sound a little..too..raspy to you?"

"No, no. He's alright. Just a cold," the doctor replied. The maknae was sent home with a prescription of some drug store cold medicine. On the way home Jungkook could tell that his hyung still seemed nervous.

"You okay?" Jungkook asked.

"Are you?" Yoongi asked back.

"You don't have to worry so much. It's just a cold."

"Yeah, yeah. I know. I just...you know how I get." Yoongi shrugged and then leaned over and patted Jungkook's head, "I can't help but care too much."

Jungkook smiled and went to reply, but fell into a coughing fit again.

"Let's get you home so you can rest," Yoongi replied.

When they got home the others asked Jungkook how he was. He gave them a thumbs up, it hurt too much to speak at this point, and then headed off to bed.

"Just a cold, right?" Namjoon chuckled. Yoongi waved him off, "Yeah, whatever."

The next morning felt like absolute hell for Jungkook. His symptoms had multiplied over night. His chest had sharp pains going through it, his lungs felt like they were on fire, his nose was all stuffed up, his eyes were watering, and his throat felt like he had needles in it. He never got up for work. There was pounding against the inside of his skull. When Jimin came in to get him, he saw how terrible the youngest looked.

"Jeez, Kookie, maybe you should take the day off."

Jungkook didn't reply, but had started crying into his pillow instead. Jimin ran to him and sat beside him as he began to rub his chest, "No no no, don't cry. Nobody will be mad at you if you take a day to rest."

Jungkook's tears rolled slowly down his face. "It h-hurts," he whimpered and then clutched his chest. Jimin felt terrible for the youngest. He said he'd be right back as he ran out and grabbed medicine, and Yoongi. When the two made their way into Jungkook's room, he was still curled up in bed crying.

"Jungkook?" Yoongi said as he made his way over, "What is it that is hurting?"

Jungkook said his throat and chest were killing him. Jimin and Yoongi knew Jungkook was a tough kid and didn't really ever cry over being hurt or sick, so the fact he was crying in bed was quite serious. Yoongi had Jungkook take some of the cold medicine and he grabbed him a bunch of water. Jimin went and made hot tea. The other members came in to check on Jungkook and were sad to see him that sick.

"Aish, Kookie. Just rest today, okay?" Jin told him. Jungkook started to say how terrible he felt for missing work.

"Work can wait. Your health comes first," Taehyung replied.

"I'm going to stay home with him today," Yoongi told the others. He wasn't asking. He was informing. Nobody protested.

They headed out and Yoongi curled up in bed with Jungkook and gently scratched his back until he fell asleep. He knew the medicine would have Jungkook knocked out for most of the day, so when he was out like a light the rapper got up and began to enjoy his day off. He read, cleaned, cooked, and continuously poked his head into Jungkook's room to see if he was still asleep. The maknae had woken up a couple times falling into bad coughing fits. Yoongi ran to him every single time and would hold him in a hug and pat his back until he was done coughing. At one point Jungkook felt like he was starting to drown and he panicked a little bit. He couldn't get any of the mucus up and he started gagging. Yoongi shoved a trash can under his face just in time. Jungkook started sobbing into Yoongi's chest and repeating that he didn't feel good and couldn't breathe.

Yoongi couldn't help but get teary eyed with worry. Seeing Jungkook this vulnerable absolutely broke his heart. He also felt terrible for not knowing how to help more. He already brought the boy to the doctor and was given medicine, he wondered what more he could possibly do. He held Jungkook tightly and tried to get him to stop crying, saying that will only make breathing harder. He called the members and asked if they could stop by a pharmacy on the way home and grab a nebulizer, or just anything to help Jungkook breathe better. They said they were on it.

Thankfully Jungkook was able to stay asleep for a long time after Yoongi basically forced him to take more medicine. The rapper felt like he had no other option except to drug the maknae up so much that he just stayed passed out.

The youngest was still asleep when the other members got home. They got off work early because they were all missing Jungkook and getting worried. Hobi handed the nebulizer they picked up to Yoongi, "It's really gotten that bad?"

"I thought he was going to choke to death on his own mucus," Yoongi frowned. He admitted how much worse his anxiety was and how he thinks he should bring Jungkook to the hospital at this point. Hobi said they should let him keep sleeping and see how he feels when he wakes up.

"Fine," Yoongi pouted. "But if he's not feeling any better...hospital." The members agreed with him.

Later on, the clinking of dishes in the kitchen while the members prepared dinner woke the maknae up. He strolled in and took a seat at the kitchen table. His hyungs asked how he was feeling and he said a little better, and that he was really hungry. Taehyung smiled, "Sounds like you." Jungkook laughed but it instantly turned into him coughing again, thankfully he got it under control quickly.

"My throat really hurts though, maybe just some soup for me," Jungkook said. His throat still felt like it had needles in it and it felt raw. His voice had grown raspy. Yoongi said he'd make him the best soup ever.

They sat around eating and Yoongi couldn't take his eyes off Jungkook. Making sure he was inhaling and exhaling at a normal rate. He narrowed his eyes when he noticed Jungkook's chest stop rising and falling.

"Jungkook?" Yoongi asked. This got all of the members attention. Tears were pouring out of Jungkook's eyes. His face was red. He was trying to suck in breath but no air was getting into his lungs.

"Maknae?!" Jin screamed and ran to him. "Are you choking?!"

Everyone could tell Jungkook couldn't breathe. He wrapped his hand around his throat and grabbed at his chest. Taehyung ran and pried Jungkook's mouth open to see if something was stuck in his throat, and all he could see was mucus. The members broke out in a panic as Jungkook's lips started to turn blue. They could see the absolute terror in his eyes. His eyes were pleading in desperation for help because he couldn't ask out loud. Namjoon ran and grabbed the nebulizer from the maknae's room. He ran back and shoved it in Jungkook's mouth, turning it on, but it was evident that it wasn't working. Yoongi called for an ambulance through panicked tears.

Jungkook was laying on the floor now, all of the members were trying to pat his back and chest to help his airways get unblocked. Jungkook was getting dizzy and lightheaded as he started drifting in and out of consciousness. He didn't understand why he couldn't breathe, he hadn't choked on anything. All he ate was soup. He felt his tears tickle his face but Jimin was quickly wiping them away, saying over and over that he was going to be okay.

Jungkook was about to pass out as they heard the ambulance pull up, and as soon as he saw paramedics run in, it was lights out.

"No!" Yoongi screamed, "Kookie no! Wake up! Wake up! Please!" he screamed. He turned to the paramedics, "Help him! Please! He can't breathe! He's sick and can't breathe!" Yoongi completely broke down, "You have to save him! Please!"

The paramedics shoved a breathing tube down Jungkook's throat and then stole him away. The hyungs were all drenched in tears as they ran out behind them and then got in the car, racing the ambulance to the hospital.

When they got there they had to wait in a room while doctors tended to Jungkook. Yoongi had somehow managed to sneak away while nobody was paying attention. The rest of them were too busy begging doctors if they could go be in the room with Jungkook but were constantly told no.

After about an hour they were finally allowed to go see him. He was awake and hooked up to tubes, but he seemed to have his breathing under control again. The poor boy looked exhausted. He had dark circles under his eyes and his hyungs could tell he was tired. His eyes were glossed over with remaining tears. Although he could breathe better than before, the whole experience was scaring the hell out of him.

"Hey, bunny," Namjoon said as they all walked over. "How are you feeling? You sure know how to scare the hell out of us."

"Better," Jungkook whispered. He looked around, "Where's Yoongi hyung?" The others looked around and finally realized Yoongi was missing. Taehyung said he'd go find him. While everyone else sat around Jungkook to comfort him, Taehyung started searching in bathrooms. He knew Yoongi well enough to know that's where he would be in a situation like this. He finally found Yoongi curled up in a stall, bawling his eyes out.

Taehyung pulled him into a hug, "Hey, shh. He's alright. He's awake, he's talking. No need to panic anymore, yeah? They're all taking care of him. He'll be alright, Yoongs."

Yoongi sobbed into Taehyung's neck, "Seeing him like that....seeing our baby like that...was my worst nightmare."

"I know, I'm sure it was all of ours," Taehyung frowned. The image of Jungkook laying on the floor not breathing was something he wished he could completely erase from his memory.

"I failed him," Yoongi cried.

"What? What do you mean you failed him?" Taehyung asked with confusion.

"I tried to help him. I tried to make him feel better. I tried being protective and look what good that did."

Taehyung took Yoongi's cheeks in his hands and wiped his hyungs tears with his sleeves, "Hyung, he's sick. There is nothing you can do about that. You're the one who took him to the doctor. You're the one who stayed home with him while he rested. You did all you could. Hell you're even the one who called the ambulance. Don't beat yourself up that he's sick, you can't control that." Taehyung pulled his hyung back into a hug. "And like I said, he's alright. No need to be so scared anymore. The doctors will take care of him now."

Yoongi felt his heart lighten up. Taehyung had made him feel a lot better. He stood up and said he wanted to go see his maknae now. Taehyung led him back to the room and he saw Jungkook smile at him as soon as he walked in. Yoongi took a deep relaxing breath, thanking the universe that his maknae was awake and smiling and not dying on their kitchen floor anymore.

"Hi, bun," Yoongi said as he made his way to the youngest. He crawled right into bed with him and hugged him, taking a deep breath to try and recover from how badly he'd been crying. Namjoon then rubbed Yoongi's back when he could tell how upset he'd been. "It's alright. He's alright." Namjoon smiled.

Yoongi pulled Jungkook closer. "I'm going to have wrinkles by the time I'm 30 because of you," Yoongi joked. Everyone laughed, even Jungkook. The hyungs were glad to see that he could laugh now without coughing so much.

"The doctor said it's really bad pneumonia," Hobi told Yoongi.

"How did that happen?" Yoongi asked. Everyone shrugged. Nobody really knew. Yoongi looked to Jungkook who now had his head resting on his chest. Yoongi started playing with his hair and wiping the pieces stuck to his sweaty forehead aside.

"Awwwwww!" Jimin smiled.

"Shut up." Yoongi blushed.

Jungkook wrapped his arms around Yoongi and hugged him. Yoongi felt his bottom lip shake. "I'm really glad you're okay." The maknae was a bit too exhausted to say anything, so he just continued to hug his hyung but in his head he was telling his hyung he loved him.

Yoongi gestured to the others, "I mean you should have seen these guys. Totally freaking out the whole time, I was able to stay so calm and help you out." Jungkook couldn't help but smile at the teasing.

"Excuse me?!" Jin yelled, "You?! Calm?!" All of the members started teasing eachother and somehow in the middle of it, Jungkook fell asleep.

"Poor kid," Taehyung frowned, holding Jungkook's hand. The members all admitted how terrible they felt seeing Jungkook in this state, but reassured eachother that he was on the road to recovery and they were thankful that help came in time.

Yoongi decided to lighten the mood even more. "I think you all worry too much," he teased as he held his maknae while he slept. " I mean, I would never."

Jin shook his head while he laughed. "Right. Let's see what happens next week when Jungkook let's out a single sneeze or Jimin falls off a chair or something." The laughter that ensued made Jungkook squirm a bit.

"Shh!" Yoongi yelled, "Don't wake him up he needs rest!"

"Annnnd there he goes," Hobi said. "Dr. Hyung is in the house!"

The members quieted down as to not wake their maknae up. They stayed with him in the hospital over the next few days while he continued to recover. When they were able to bring him home, he reiterated to them all how thankful he was for getting him help. The members said how they were all also really grateful to Yoongi for keeping his eye on their maknae and being aware of when things started to really go wrong.

"He's quiet, but he's observant," Jin said.

"He wasn't quiet when he was crying in the bathroom." Taehyung brought it up and Yoongi felt himself flush red with embarrassment. He started chasing Taehyung around the house, "Hey!" he screamed after him. Everyone could hear Taehyung's laughter echo through the hallway. Jungkook sat on the couch and shook his head, smiling.

He wondered how the hell he ever lived without his hyungs, and especially his one and only Yoongi hyung.
