Halloween is my favorite holiday, so I decided to write a second story based on the season.

It's a whump this time. It's haunted a house because i simply adore them.

Tw: panic attack, fainting and the usual warnings for gore.

"Please, please tell me that's not where we are going!" Hoseok's eyes dilated when he saw the three story building in front of them, his voice coming out in a squeak. He had a feeling the Run BTS episode was going to be spooky because it was only days away from Halloween, and he was right..

"Oh wow! It's huge! Namjoonie hyung what does is it say? Asl..?" Jungkook points to the letters on the front.

"[Asylum..?]" Namjoon reads the word in English looks it up on his phone, then translates it to korean. "The place is called Alysa asylum."

The car pulls up to the building next to the other staff car with the other members. Yoongi was holding onto Jin's hand, looking up at the massive building. "It's huge.."

Taehyung was on his phone, seeing what he could discover about the massive building in front of them. "It says it used to be a real one, but when it got shut down it got turned into a haunted house a few years ago.."

"A real one?" Hoseok swallows nervously, trying to not look up at the giant brick building in front of him.

"Hello everyone! Welcome to Alysa asylum!" A teenager greets them, but the boys didn't recognize him as one of their staff members. "My name is David and I'm one of the staff here. It's an honor to have you here."

"1,2,3.." Namjoon counts, and the members do their greeting, bowing to David.

"I was really surprised when my boss said we were going to be opening an hour early because we had special guests coming.. I've been listening to you guys since I was 13 years old.."

"Thank you for supporting us." Jungkook smiles.

"It really means a lot." Jimin bows.

"I'm honored to meet you too." Taehyung adds in, bowing with Jimin.

"Ah..Let's get right to business.." David blushes, feeling embarrassed. "We're a little short on time. This haunted house usually takes 30 minutes on average to get all the way through. You get 4 flags to put on your body, but the location must be within reason. The actors will try to remove them from you while you make your way through the house. If you have at least one of your flags left by the end of the house, you'll get a refund usually.. but for this game each flag you have when you return will be a free ticket for a fan."

"What happens if you lose all your flags?" Hoseok asks in a small voice. "Do they steal you away?" His eyes dilated in fear at the thought of being dragged out of the building away from his members.

"Oh, nothing like that. Don't worry. You'll still be able to continue through it with the others, and they'll most likely lose interest in trying to scare you. They are just interested in removing the flags. Usually, once you lose all your flags, you protect people who still have some." David explained to the group.

Hoseok let go of the breath he wasn't even aware he was holding, jumping with a small sound when he felt something touch him.

"Hyung it was just me. I'm sorry." Jungkook quickly pulls away from Hoseok with a frown. He wanted to comfort him by putting his arm around him, but it had the opposite effect.

"Jaykay, I'm sorry. It's okay." Hoseok hugs him from behind. "It's not your fault I'm jumpy. I just don't like scary things."

"I'm scared too. It's okay to be scared." Yoongi admits, reaching for his hand. "We'll all stay together. It'll be fine."

Hoseok takes it,feeling the cold sweat forming in the palm of Yoongi's hand. "Yeah, it'll be fine." He echos, taking a deep breath. "Let's go before I change my mind.."

Taehyung helps Jungkook put a flag close to the nape of his neck, his longer hair making only a couple inches poke through. "There. That's the last flag. Everyone else has theirs, right?"

"Yeah, I'm all set." Jimin says, looking at the other members. "Namjoon-ah you're missing a flag.."

"Huh?" He looks around, finding it on the floor, bending to pick it up."Ah, here it is. It must've been the one I tried getting on my back."

"I'll get it for you." Jimin says taking it from him and putting it on the center of his back, making sure it stays on by adding another piece of tape. "Is that good?"

"Yeah, that's fine. Thanks Jiminah." Namjoon says checking on everyone. "Alright, they said we can go in whenever we are ready.."

Yoongi reaches for Hoseok's hand. "You sure you can do this?"

"Yeah, yeah, I can do this. It's for army.." Hoseok says with determination, taking a deep breath to push down his fears that tightened in his belly. "Just don't let go. Okay?"

"I won't." Yoongi swears, giving his hand a reassuring squeeze.

"Then I'm as ready as I'll ever be." Hoseok swallowed hard, watching Namjoon open the door. "Let's do this.."

The first room had a flashing strobe light, making it hard to make out what was in the room. Jin grabs onto Namjoons arm, looking around the room nervously.

"I don't see anything except fake spiders and fake blood.." Jin states, but he spoke to soon.

A woman with blonde hair wrapped in fake cobwebs that blended in with all the fake webs covering the room starts screaming as soon as they get close to her. "[HELP! HELP THEYRE GOING TO EAT ME!]" She says in a shrill voice speaking in English, a large robotic spider moving towards her.

Hoseok,Jin and Jimin all scream at the sudden new voice. Yoongi's eyes widen, clutching Hoseok's hand to his chest, the scream caught in his throat.

Jin puts his hand over his heart, frozen in place as she continues to scream for help. Jungkook pulls on his hand to get him moving again.

"Come on Jinnie-hyung, it's okay.." Jungkook jumped at the sudden sound, but it didn't scare him like the other members

Jimin clings to Taehyung's arm. "That scared me.. I thought my heart was gonna jump out of my chest." He takes a breath to try to calm his breathing.

"It's okay..I got you." Taehyung gave his hand a squeeze. "It's not real.."

Hoseok leaves first,pulling on Yoongi to try to escape, Jin following with Jungkook in tow, quickly avoiding the woman trying to grab at the flags.

"[So sorry. Gotta go.]" Taehyung leaves pulling Jimin with him, holding tightly so his clammy hand doesn't slip away. Jimin quickly grabs Namjoon’s hand to be sure he doesn't get left behind.

J-hope was disoriented in the next room, his heart throbbing in his chest already. The room was filled with fog, making him unable to know what he was into. "I don't want to be in front.." His voice comes out three octaves higher than usual, pushing Jungkook in front.

Namjoon rushes to Hoseok, standing close to him. "Hey.. hey its okay.. it's just actors. Take a deep breath.."

Hoseok takes a deep breath, but the moment he starts to feel a little better, he hears the sound of a chain saw, a masked man running towards them. He buries his face in Jungkook's shoulder, a high-pitched whine coming from him. He wanted to run, but his legs were frozen in place, knees locking in place, making his head spin.

Something is coming.. move...please move...

A small hoard of zombies enter from the rooms o on either side of the corridor, targeting the members going after the flags that glowed under the black light.

"[Run! Run don't let them get you!]" The man with the chainsaw calls out, cutting down one of the zombies, the fake saw touching it made the fake blood packets on the zombie burst, the fake blood dripping down as the zombie falls.

Jin takes off running, screaming as fright takes over, trying to escape the situation, his heart racing painfully in his chest. He keeps a firm grip on Namjoon’s hand, forcing him to flee with him.

"Hyung please, you're gonna make me fall!" Namjoon stumbles over his own feet. "Wait for the others!" He looked back to see if the others were following, only Taehyung running to catch up, quickly grabbing Namjoon's hand. "The zombies are blocking the others from following.."

"No, don't touch him!" Jungkook protects Hoseok from a female zombie who tries touching him, after the flag on his side,pushing the timid rapper away from her, in-between Yoongi and Jimin.

With the target moving, she targets Jungkook instead, pretending to bite his shoulder as she reaches for the flag on his chest. Jungkook quickly steps back to avoid her, tripping over Jimin’s foot, tumbling into him.

"Woah, I got you."Jimin puts his hands firmly on his shoulders, jumping when he hears Jungkook let out a small whimper. "What's wrong?"

"My foot bent weirdly, but I'm okay.. we have to get to the stairs.. we lost half the team.." Jungkook pulls Jimin and Hoseok ,ignoring the pain in his ankle.

Hoseok keeps his hand firmly clamped around Yoongi's wrist,pulling the older rapper with him. His breath came out in quick gasps, feeling light-headed as the mankae pulled him through to the next floor, leading them into a maze.

The sound of Jin's screaming somewhere in the maze only made Hoseok's blood run cold, terrified of what could be hidden within the walls, his stomach churning with anxiety. The rooms inside had different gruesome scenes but none of the actors left past the doorway, but he didn’t trust them, trying to look in every direction at once.The moment i turn away from them they'll chase me..

"Are you okay, Hoba? You're trembling.." Yoongi slowly wraps his arm around Hoseok, hugging him from behind. "It's okay.. Hyungie is with you. Let's just get out of this together."

Hoseok could feel Yoongi's heart pounding against his back. Yoongi is scared, too.. I'm slowing us down.. I need to pull myself together.. because I froze up, we got separated from the others..

"I'm..I'm sorry..it's my fault.." Hoseok's voice quivered, unshed tears shining on his lashes. His stomach twisted with both fear and remorse.

"Hey, hey, it's okay. We'll catch up with the others. It's not your fault you're scared. I'm scared, too. I couldn't get my legs to move to follow Seokjinie-hyung, Taehyungie, or Namjoon-ah, either. It's no big deal." Yoongi admits, trying to stay strong for the younger members.

Even though Jimin made no complaints about being scared, he could see the quick rise and fall of his chest as he took deep breaths to try to calm his nerves and Jungkook's eyes were darting around the rooms, trying to follow the built in maze walls to find the way out without finding a dead end.

"Ah Sh*t!" Jimin suddenly screams when a hand with Freddy Kruger's claw pops out from the painting of him grabbing a flag from his chest. Jimin covered where the hand touched, feeling his heart hammering against his palm, eyes dilated.

The sound of Jimin's screaming frightened Hoseok back to moving, eyes widening when he saw that they were surrounded by paintings and any of them could have a person hidden behind them.

The sound of several people laughing like they were insane made Hoseok start sprinting, trying to escape the sensory overload,swearing the whole way. The sweat made his hand slip away from Yoongi's, but when he saw a pale hand reaching for him from a painting, making him scream, going in a full-on run.

"Hyung, please, I can't keep up.." Jungkook winces, a soft moan escaping his lips when he steps hard on his injured ankle, unable to quickly turn corners, using thr wall to help support his weight, pushing on it while they ran. "It hurts.. I can't run hyung.." he tries to pull away from him, but Hoseok quickly grabs his wrist when he feels Jungkook pull away.

Hoseok didn't hear Jungkook's pleads over the sound of laughing, his nerves completely shot. All he was focused on was escaping the sound, squealing every single time a hand popped out of a painting.

"Don't pull Jungkook like that!"Yoongi calls to him,screaming when he feels something grab onto his elbow, removing the flag connected to it. "Hoba! Jungkook-ah! Don't leave us behind!" His voice comes out as a whine, grabbing Jimin's hand and pulling him to catch up.

Hoseok doesn't stop until he finds his way out, letting out wheezing coughs as he tries to catch his breath. He tries to lean against Jungkook but he loses his balance, Yoongi running to put his hand on the center of Jungkook's back to keep him from falling.

"Agh!" Jungkook lets a yelp of surprise, relaxing when he sees it was just Yoongi. "Aiish, you scared me.."

"Sorry.. Are you okay? You were limping.. did you get hurt?" Yoongi took the opportunity between rooms to look over the maknae, bending down to look at his ankle.

"Oh,it's fine, really. I think I bruised the bone when Hobi-hyung tripped over me." Jungkook forced himself to put pressure on it, giving him a forced smile as the pain shot up his ankle. "I can continue. Let's go find the others." Jungkook opens the door, going up the stairs.

"Here, lean on me.. don't put any more pressure on it.." Jimin wrapped Jungkook's arm around him, supporting his injured side as they made their way up the steps.

Hoseok's stomach wormed with guilt, nausea washing over him, grabbing onto Yoongi's hand. "I'm sorry Jaykay.. I didn't mean to hurt you.."

"It's not your fault. I was the one who tripped over you. Are you okay, Hyung? You're still shaking.." Jungkook tried switching the attention away from him to Hobi.

"You do look pale.. is this too much for you? You could take-" Yoongi's voice is cut off by the sound of the other group screaming.

"We have to get to them!" Jungkook says, ignoring his pain to rush to the others. It was hard to scare Namjoon and he's never heard him sound so scared. He had to be sure the others were okay, even if it was just a haunted house. What if they really got hurt in this old place? What if the floor gave in?

"Jungkook-Ah be careful! Your ankle!" Jimin yells, following after him. "I know you're worried, I am too, but you have to be careful!"

"W-what made them..them..all scream lik..like that?" Hoseok whispered the words, his voice trembling. The only thing that kept him moving forward was that Yoongi followed the younger members, and he couldn't imagine being alone in this place.

Hoseok clung to Yoongi's arm, his breath coming out in short whimpers. His vision was blurred, feeling his head swirling, struggling to keep on his feet. I feel so dizzy..but I don't want to be left behind..

"Yoongi..Yoon.i..I.." Hoseok tried to tell Yoongi how he felt,but he couldn't get the words out, gasping for breath. "I d.d..nt..w..ll.."

"Hoba,Hoba, you gotta breathe.. I can't understand what you're saying. Take deep breaths, okay?" Yoongi stops trying to keep up with the younger members, focusing on Hoseok. With the staircase only lit with black lights he couldn't tell if it was the lights or the fear that made Hobi's skin look ghostly white.

Hoseok tries to take a deep breath, but the echo of someone screaming somewhere in the building makes him tense up. "Was..was th..th.."

"Sh..Hoseok-ah! Look at me. Focus on me." Yoongi tilted Hoseok's chin to force him to look into his eyes, thankful for the dim lighting that hid bashful blushing. "Don't worry about whatever is going on there. You're going to pass out if you don't breathe.."

Hoseok takes a few deep,shaky breaths, clutching Yoongi's hands as if his life depended on it. He leans on Yoongi, keeping his eyes closed as he waits for the dizziness to pass.

Yoongi rubs his thumbs across Hoseok's knuckles, feeling his hands trembling underneath his fingertips. I have to get him out of here. This place is too much for him to handle..

"Hyung is everything okay?" Jungkook's voice from the top of the steps startles them both. The two younger members have just been waiting for them to follow before opening the door to the next floor.

"I don't think Hoba can continue.." Yoongi says looking at the rapper with concern, then back to Jungkook who was putting all his weight on one side.

"And Jungkook I don't think you should continue on that ankle.." Jimin adds in, seeing Jungkook balanced on one foot.

"No I'm fine, I can finish through. There's only one more floor. Please hyung? I want to see what scared the others.." Jungkooks eyes sparkled with curiosity. If they were hurt they would've shut down the attraction.

"There's..There's just one more floor..one more.. I can..I'm fine.. I'm fine.." Hoseok stifles a cough, his voice feeling hoarse from screaming. "It's fine we can keep going."

"Are you sure?" Jimin asks, looking between the two with worry. "Do you want me to carry you Jungkook-ah?"

"I don't think you can carry me for that long." Jungkook teases. "No I'm fine. Just no running."

Hoseok took another deep breath, opening the door to the next floor, being welcomed to a nearly pitch black room,the only source of light being the glow in the dark costumes of the actors coming out of the rooms and a glowing at the end of the hall he couldn’t make out at a distance

Glowing skeletons, ghosts, witch doctors, and clowns run towards them. Hoseok saw the flags on their bodies glow in the dark as well, knowing as long as they saw those they'd chase them until they made it to the exit or until no one had any flags left.

Hoseok took off running as soon as he saw them coming towards him, screaming until he couldn't anymore. He ran blindly through the dark, Yoongi following behind him.

Yoongi felt someone grab him, screaming in surprise at the sudden grab of a glowing skeleton, them ripping off the blue flag from his stomach.

"Hobi-hyung look out!" Jimin calls out when he sees someone get close to Hoseok

Hoseok felt his heart skip a beat looking behind him in a silent scream trying to call for his brothers. A woman in a glowing white dress grabbed him, by the shoulder, ripping off one of the flags from his body.

"[Woah are you okay?]" The woman felt Hoseok falling under her grip. "[Did you slip?]"

Hoseok doesn't reply, his heart working overtime, the terror making his breath come out in quick gasps,hyperventilating. His legs turned to jello as vertigo took over, falling forward into the woman.

"[Everyone stop!]" The woman yells,trying to gently lower Hoseok to the floor safely but unable to handle his weight."[Someone's fainted! Get the lights!]"

Hoseok felt someone stroking his hair, his eyes fluttering open to see who was touching him. He finds Yoongi's worried eyes staring back down at him. "Hoba.." he sighs in relief when he sees Hoseok staring back at him.

"Wh.. what happened?" Hoseok whispers hoarsely.

"You really scared me, Hoba.. all I could understand is that they said for everyone to stop and when I looked to see why you were on the ground." Yoongi hugged Hoseok to his chest. "Are you hurt anywhere? That woman said she lowered you down as gently as she could, but you still hit the floor.."

"I got a bit of a headache, and my throat hurts,but i'm okay." Hoseok reassures them with a hoarse whisper.

"Oh, thank goodness.. when I heard them scrambling around the room to turn on the lights and saw you laying in Yoongi-hyung's lap, I thought my heart was going to jump out of my chest." Jimin sighs in relief.

"You should still get looked over just in case.. I feel awful that I wasn't there to help.." Jin admits, looking down at his hands.

"Ah.. what about Jungkook-ah?" Hoseok asks, looking for the mankae, noticing the wrap around his ankle. "Is it fractured?"

"I'm okay. I just twisted my ankle a bit.. I'll be out of practice for a few weeks, but it'll heal up fully." Jungkook wiggles his foot a bit. "It doesn't hurt unless I walk on it or bend it too far."

"That's good.. I'm so sorry, Jungkook-ah.." Hoseok gets to his feet, going over to Jungkook to hug him. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt you.."

"It's not your fault. I'm the one who tripped over you." Jungkook squeezes him tightly. "I know you only wanted to continue through because of me. I'm sorry for being so stubborn.."

"That poor woman feels so bad about what happened.." Namjoon joins in the conversation. "She really scared me too earlier."

"Aiigo.. I probably scared her just as much as she scared me. I should apologize.. is she what made you scream?"

"No. There's two doors at the end of the hallway! One leads to a trap door. We fell down to the bottom floor where there's this landing mat. I thought the floor actually broke." Namjoon explains in a pout,making Hoseok giggle.

"It was terrifying! I thought I was gonna die.." Taehyung whines, squeezing Jimin's hand.

"That sounds amazing." Jungkook says eyes rounded with excitement. "I want to try again."

"You're insane." Jimin states, his stomach dropping at the thought of the floor giving in out of no where."That place was terrifying.."

"Remind me never to go there ever again.." Hoseok shudders at the thought.

"Don't worry, Taehyungie, joon-ah and Jungkookie can go, we can go find something else to do." Yoongi reassures him. "You don't have to ever go there again."

Technically, a continuation of another story but how it's written you should be able to understand without part 1. Bangtan are attending a music festival, but Taehyung isn't feeling so good but doesn't want to ruin everyone's fun.

It ended up way longer than I thought, I cut out quite a bit already. Hopefully, it's not too long.

I don't think it needs any warnings, but it does have a nightmare.

"Everyone ready to go?" Namjoon does a head count, leaving out Jungkook who was staying behind.

"Ready." J-hope answers, hanging his camera around his neck.

"A few staff members are staying behind so don't worry about Jungkook. Just focus on enjoying our vacation." Namjoon ushers his children out the door, making sure everyone gets situated.

"What was the name of the festival? I want to see who's all playing." Jimin asks.

"Ah, I think I have a flyer somewhere around here." J-hope digs in his bag, handing him a crumpled piece of paper giving it to Jimin.

"I don't recognize half of these names.. I'm excited." Jimin smiles. "Who are you most excited for?"

"I'm not picking favorites ." J-hope tuts.

"Ah look, Txt is also playing..!" Jimin points to the page where he sees their name. "I'm glad they are getting their music out there."

"I didn't see their name the first time I looked." J-hope leans in to look.

"They got it written really small." Jimin frowns. "They still haven't made a big fanbase overseas."

"We'll have to cheer them on." Namjoon joins the conversation.

"If we get there early enough, we can see them before they return. Seeing familiar faces should help ease their nerves." J-hope throws out ideas.

"Maybe we can hang out a bit before they depart." Jimin says, passing the flyer to Namjoon's out reached hand.

"They'll probably be tired. We don't want to burden them. We can if they suggest it, but if we do, they might feel pressured to say yes because we're older." Namjoon explains.

Taehyung doesn't join the conversation already aware of who's playing because he had been texting two of the Txt members, opting to take photos of the scenery instead to rest his sore throat. It was only six, but he already felt tired. He tunes out the conversation, feeling the start of a headache forming. (Maybe I should've suggested staying at the cabin with Jungukkie, but Beomgyu seemed so excited when he found out that they were in the same area.)

"Tae are you okay?" The sound of jimin's voice gets his attention.

"I was just enjoying the scenery. It's been a while since I had time to take photos." Taehyung says, giving him a smile.

"It is really pretty here, but you didn't answer my question." Jimin presses for answers again, looking into his eyes. They showed how tired he was and the pain he was feeling. Taehyung looks away, pretending to be distracted by J-hope playing music on his phone.

"Is that Txt's newest song?" Taehyung asks.

Jimin sighs. (I know he's just trying to make us not worry, but he shouldn't push himself. I should've tried to get him to stay.) He sends a text to Namjoon.

I don't think Tae is okay, but he won't admit it. He looks worn out and his voice sounds off to me.

Namjoon looks at the message, whispering to Yoongi sitting next to him. "We need to keep an eye on Tae. I think he got sick, too."

Yoongi nods and passes it on, everyone becoming aware of the situation.

"Tete, wake up, we're here." Jimin shakes his shoulder gently.

"Hm?" Taehyung sits up, rubbing his eyes. (When did I fall asleep?) His neck was stiff from laying on it wrong.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Jimin asks, running a head through Taehyung's hair.

"Yeah, I'm okay.. I guess I was more tired than I thought..I think I put a kink in my neck though.." Taehyung lies. The dull headache turned into a painful pressure behind his eyes. (How can I feel worse after napping?)

"I'm watching you." Jimin informs him, pulling up his face mask and putting on the black bucket hat he borrowed from Jungkook. "Let's go try to find the babies. If we keep covered up, we should be able to go unnoticed for at least a little bit." Jimin tries to massage the pain away for Taehyung, walking behind him, rubbing his thumbs across his soulmate's neck.

"It might be easier since all six of us aren't here." Namjoon notes, leading his members through the crowd. "English only."

"Did you find out what one they are in?" RM asks.

"N..yes. The third one is on the left of the stage." Jimin says, looking at the text Beom-gyu sent him quickly remembering to speak English.

The boys go through the crowd unnoticed, reaching the dressing room of their hoobaes. Jimin knocks, Beom-gyu opening the door, bowing deeply. "Hello."

Jimin pulls him into a hug. "Hello, how are you?"

"I'm excited, but nervous. We've never done a music festival before.." Beomgyu replies, ushering bangtan inside.

The other txt members group members bow deeply, the two groups warmly greeting each other.

"Where is Jungkook-hyung?"Taehyun asks when the six visitors settle in.

"He caught a cold, so he stayed behind. Don't worry. He'll be back on his feet in a few days." Namjoon replies.

"Oh no. I hope he recovers quickly." Taehyun frowns.

"He's super stubborn. I bet he'll fight it off by tomorrow." Yoongi says with a small smile.

The two groups catch up with one another, talking about their recent tours, the new songs they were working on, and the struggles they've been having. Taehyung tried to keep his energy levels high, putting up a front, not wanting to worry the younger group before a performance. (I'm happy that they got their confidence up again knowing we're here to cheer them on..) Taehyung doesn't regret his decision to go, watching his little brothers go from balls of nerves to playfully teasing one another.

"It sounds like the show is starting." Kai peeks out of the room.

"We should find a place to watch then, and you guys can continue getting ready." J-hope hugs each of the txt members, and the other members follow suit.

(Taehyung-hyung feels warm.) Beomgyu hugs Taehyung whispering to him. "Take it easy, hyung. Thank you for the advice and for coming to visit.."

"{They look more relaxed.}" Jimin smiles. "I know they'll do well. They practiced hard." His voice is drowned out by the roar of the crowd.

The group goes to watch quietly, keeping close together. They only brought two body guards, trying not to draw a lot of attention. The boys were using their phones to film.

The boys happily enjoy the show, busy watching the stage instead of Taehyung. He tried to cheer loudly for Txt when they made it on stage, following the fan chat, but halfway through, his voice was cut off by coughs. His health grew worse as the time passed, the heat of all the people surrounding them making him feel overheated and weak. He leans against Jin's broad shoulders, waiting for the dizziness to pass. Jin doesn't think anything of Taehyung's sudden affection, just leaning his head back on his for a moment.

They made it to the last performance, and decided to try to beat the crowd. Jimin drops his mask a bit to drink water, unaware on the mayhem it would cause.

"{Is that Jimin?}" An unfamiliar voice speaks.

"{Oh my gosh, I think it is.}" Another fan speaks up.

"{It is! That's Namjoon next to him!{"

Their fans have found them, causing an uproar. A teenged girl reaches for Jin, touching his cheek. Jin backs up, running into Yoongi, nearly knocking him over.

Their bodyguards push them away when they try to reach for them. "{Don't touch. Stay back.}" They speak, putting the boys in a tighter circle.

"Leave them alone. They came here to enjoy the show. We shouldn't bother them on their private time." A new voice tries to roar over the chaos.

"Namjoon-ah...!" Taehyung tries to call out over the crowd, but his voice is drowned out by all the others screaming much louder than he could, his voice coming out weakly. "Yoon-..!" He tried calling again, but when he tried shouting, it broke into a cough. (They can't hear me. My voice is gone..) His heart raced with panic, unable to see them through the sea of people. Within the chaos he got separated from the others, nearly getting trampled by all the people pushing to reach the others. He gets pushed to the ground by a man trying to lift his young daughter so she can get a peek at bangtan. Taehyung tries to stand again, but vertigo hits him hard, making him fall to his knees again. A woman steps on his hand amongst the chaos. "Aiish..." He rubs his hands across his injured fingers, trying to ease the pain.(Hyungs.. Please.. i can't do this alone..) He pleaded silently in his mind. He puts his hands over his head, trying to protect himself, too scared to try to move.

"Taehyung-oppa?" A young female voice startled him when he feels them touch his shoulder. She was no older than eleven, looking at him with worry.

"Shh.. don't say my name.. you might get hurt if they notice me on my own." He speaks softly but notices the girl just looks at him with a puzzled expression. (She can't understand me..)

"{Are you okay? Are you scared? You're shaking.}" The girl continued to him speak, trying to pull him to his feet.

"{I'm..lost.}" He speaks English to her the best he could. "{I..need to go..there..}" He points to where the other members disappeared, anxiety piking when he sees no sign of them.

"There's no way you'll be able to break through the crowd. Why don't we go to the side and you can call them?" She tries to make motions with her hands, making an X when she points to the crowd and an okay sign when she points to the opposite direction pointing to her phone then him.

"{Okay, okay..I go..}" Taehyung let's the little girl lead him against the sea of people, trying his best not to stumble. (I don't feel well at all..I feel like if I don't sit soon I'll faint..) He stops trying to catch his breath."{Can't..need rest..}"

The young girl helps him sit in the dirt, digging in her bag for a waterbottle covered in kpop stickers. "Please.." she speaks the best Korean she can."{You must be dehydrated.. you don't look so good..}" He pushes it into his hands.

Taehyung takes the water gratefully, lowering his mask to take a sip.

"{Oh wow. You look even prettier in person.. oh! Sorry.}" The girl blushes, hiding her face. Taehyung giggles at her reaction but a dry cough stops him.

"{Poor bear. That was rude of me...}" she rubs his back slowly, trying not to push her boundaries. She looks up korean words on her phone. "We need to get you to the others}"

Taehyung looks around, feeling safe enough to try to contact the others, but when he reached into his pocket he feels nothing. "Aiigo.."

"{Did you lose something?}" The girl asks.

Taehyung nods. {Phone.. phone gone.}"

"{It must've dropped when you fell. I'll go see if I can find it!}"

Taehyung shakes his head, but the girl already runs off, and when he tries to call to her, no words come out. (They're probably trying to call my phone.. they would've had to get escorted to the van. I wish she would've stayed, though.. I don't want to be alone..)

"We need to find him. He's not answering his phone. What if something happened to him?" Jimin speaks quickly, looking helplessly outside the car window.

"They'll find him. We just gotta wait here. Going out to look for him would just cause more problems. They got the security looking for him as well as our staff. Taehyung will be okay."Namjoon tried to believe his own words, but his voice shook, showing his fear.

"He probably can't hear it over all that chaos. I'm sure he's fine." Yoongi says squeezing Namjoon's hand.

"This is my fault. I blew our cover." Jimin puts his head in his hands. "I should've waited until we got back inside the van. Now Tete got lost in the crowd.."

"Don't say that. You didn't know they'd react that way. We've gone to public events before and didn't get mobbed like that." Jin smacks Jimin in the leg. "Calm down. He'll turn up."

"{Gina? Gina where are you?}" A man calls out for his daughter. "Gina!" He looks around, running up to Taehyung. He backs up, eyes widening in shock when he grabs Taehyung by the wrist."{You. That's my daughter's bottle!}"

"{Please stop.. let go..}" Taehyung's voice comes out as a hoarse whisper. He tries to pull away, his breath picking up.

"{I'm sorry, i didn't mean to scare you. Have you seen my daughter? That's her bottle you're holding."

"{The girl.. that way..English..not so good..}" Taehyung points to where the girl went.

"{Hey.. you look like the boy in the poster in my daughter's room.. V. You're V.}" He loosens his grip on Taehyung, just staring at him in disbelief.

"{Daddy! Daddy you found Taehyung too!}" Gina returns with a police officer.

"Gina! Oh, thank God you're okay! I thought you got hurt by the crowd!" The man hugs his daughter to his chest.

"{You are Kim Taehyung, right?}" The officer asks offering his hand to him.

"{Yes.}" Taehyung takes it, the officer helping him to his feet.

"{Your friends are looking for you. Let me escort you.}"

Taehyung sighs, relief washing over him. "{Thank you.}"

"I'm sorry. {I couldn't find your phone, but I found help.}" Gina bows to him.

"{It's okay.. you help.. Thank you..}" Taehyung hands the water bottle back to her, then removes the baseball cap from his head, putting it on her. When she hugs him, she can feel the heat radiating off of him. "{Taehyung-oppa? Are You okay? You feel hot..}"

"{Need..sit...}" Taehyung sways, closing his eyes. Gina's voice sounded far away, his body finally reaching its limit. (Everything is spinning..) he took a step back to try to stop himself from falling on top of Gina, his body meeting the ground.

"They found him.. he's with the police now.." He covers his phone to speak to the other members. "{Thank you so much sir..}" He speaks into the phone. Namjoon's relief is only short lived though, the officer telling him what happened.

"What? What's wrong?" J-hope shakes Namjoon's shoulder trying to get answers.

"He fainted. He's running a high fever, and his hand his really swollen." Namjoon breaks the news to them. "They're going to take him to a hospital for x-rays."

(Where..am I..?) Taehyung's eyes fluttered open, gasping in surprise when he feels a set of arms wrap around him. "Taehyung-Ah! You're up! You had me so worried!"

"Jiminie you're squishing me.." Taehyung couldn't get his voice higher than a whisper and even that was painful.

"Are you feeling any better Tae?" J-hope sits on the other side of him, running a hand through Taehyung's sweaty hair. "My heart skipped a beat when they said you fainted.. why didn't you tell us you felt so awful. We would've gotten someone to take you home."

"It wasn't bad until I got separated.. I was so scared I couldn't catch my breath.." Taehyung's heart raced at the memory, recalling all the voices screaming and pushing, squeezing Jimin.

"You're okay now Tae. I'm so sorry we lost you.. we noticed right away but we couldn't do anything about it. As I tried running towards you there were so many people grabbing at me.. i didn't know Army could be so scary.." jimin squeezes Taehyung back.

"A few people got hurt..including you.. next time we'll have to bring more body guards.." Namjoons heart feels heavy with regret.

(Hurt?) Taehyung looks over himself, noticing his fingers were wrapped on his right hand. "Someone stepped on me.. an Army girl had to help me get away from the mob.. she was so nice.. she wasn't even a teenager yet.. she led me away from the crowd... I gave her my hat as a thank.." Another round of coughs stop him from telling his story.

"Shh..stop talking..You're going to completely lose your voice. We can talk more when you're feeling better.." Jin scolds him.

"{Excuse me but visiting hours are over now}" The doctor tells him.

"{Sorry we lost track of time. We'll get going, but please could someone stay as a translator? His English isn't good..}" Namjoon bows to her. "{I'm sorry to ask, but I'm worried about him..}" Namjoon hated asking for special treatment, but with Taehyung's history of night terrors, his heart broke at the idea of him being terrified with no one able to speak Korean to help him calm down.

"{We usually only let family stay, but since he's in a private room, I'll allow it considering the circumstances. Only one person can stay.}" The nurse responds with a kind smile, seeing the stress written all over Namjoon's face.

"{Thank you so much. I'll stay and send the others back home.}" Namjoon bows once more turning to the others. "I'll stay with him tonight, but everyone else has to go."

"I'm so relieved someone can stay with him..." Seokjin sighs. "I can't believe we lost him in the crowd like that... Keep him safe for me. Okay Joon?"

"I'm sorry Namjoonie-hyung.." Taehyung whispers, watching him try to get comfortable in the chair. "Do you want to lay with me instead? There's enough room for..." His words are interrupted by his own coughing.

"Taehyung-ah, I'm scared to hurt you. Don't worry about me, I'm fine."Namjoon tries to quietly drag the chair as close as he can to Taehyung's bed."I told you not to talk. You need to rest your voice. I'm right here with you. Do you want me to sing you a song?"

Taehyung nods.

Namjoon thinks, then starts softly singing.

"We're born in the moonlight.Ain't no fantasy. Can't breathe in the sunlight. Gotta hide your heart. We're born to be sad, sad (whoa-oh), sad, sad.

Suffer to be glad, glad,whoa-oh, glad, glad

Come on, ya'll, moonchild, moonchild. That's how it's supposed to be. Yeah, all these pain and all these sorrows. That's our destiny, see?" Namjoon stops singing when he notices that Taehyung has fallen asleep, breathing deeply.

"Good night Tae.." He says yawning, not taking long to fall asleep.

(Trigger warning. The boys get hurt, but it's just a dream)

"Taehyung-ah! Help!" He hears the members calling to him, the boys getting trampled by faceless people, reaching out for him. Jimin was covered in bruises, Jungkook's arm lays limply at an unnatural angle, J-hope was holding his ribcage, coughing. He can't even spot the others, but he could hear them calling for him.

Taehyung tries to call him, but no sound comes out. No matter how many people he pushes through to reach them, he gets pushed back. Namjoon-hyung.. He spots him for a split second before the crowd makes him disappear again, the same thing happening with each member, the bloody arm of Jungkook, the bruised neck of Jimin, the bloody nose of Jin, until he couldn't find any of them anymore. I can't save them..

Taehyung wakes up screaming, making Namjoon bolt up to rush to the bed. The machine that tracks Taehyung's vitals starts beeping loudly.

"I'm here Tae, I'm here.. It was just a nightmare.. You're okay..it's okay.." Namjoon gently wraps his arms around the trembling vocalist, pulling him to his chest. "Breathe baby.. you need to take deep breaths.." He strokes Taehyung's sweat-soaked hair over and over. "You're safe.. You're okay.. It was just a bad dream, you're okay now.."

Taehyung tries to breathe but can't stop coughing. "Nam...Nam..joon..." It hurts..I can't breathe..

"Taehyungie please..you have to calm down.." Namjoon begs, feeling Taehyung trembling in his arms not slowing in the slightest.

Taehyung manages to get a few deep breaths in, dulling the pain.

A nurse comes into the room, turning off the machine. "{What happened?}"

"{He just had a bad dream. I think his fever spiked though..}" Namjoon tells her, feeling the heat radiating off of Taehyung's body. He runs his hand down Taehyungs back, softly shushing him, only letting himself relax when he feels the tremors running through Taehyung slowly die down.

The nurse takes his temperature. "{I'll need to get some medicine.}"

"My head hurts so much.." Taehyung whines softly finally finding his voice, hiding his face back in Namjoon's chest. It feels like someone's trying to squeeze the life out of me.

"{He says he has a bad headache..}" Namjoon explains, to the nurse, relief washing over him when he hears Taehyung's shaky voice. He's calming down at least a little.. "{Could he have some water?}"

"{The medicine will help with the pain..I'll bring some water.}" She leaves the room quickly.

"The nurse will bring you medicine to help.. are you still afraid Tae?"

"Ev-ev-eryone w-w-waas hurt, and...and I cou-coul-coulldn't help them.." Taehyung sobs. Namjoon forces him to sit up, drying Taehyung's eyes with his sleeve. Namjoon regrets asking, seeing the tears rolling down his little brother's cheeks breaking his heart.

"Everyone is safe at the cabin, and I'm fine..see? I'm perfectly healthy." Namjoon tries to soothe him, stroking the back of his neck. "It was just a dream.. okay?"

Taehyung nods, sniffling to try to stop the snot from dripping. "I'm sorry.."

"Don't be sorry.. it's okay. You had a really scary experience and you aren't feeling well. I understand..." Namjoon hugs him back to his chest, not caring about his clothing.

The nurse returns, adding the medicine to the IV drip and putting water on the side table. "{Do you need anything else?}"

"{No. I'll take care of him from here.. thank you.}" Namjoon bows the best he can with Taehyung squeezing him. She awkwardly bows back, leaving the room.

"You want to drink some water, Tae? It might help your throat.." Namjoon holds the cup out to him, putting the straw by his lips.

Taehyung picks up his head, taking big sips. The cold water helps ease some of the pain. "Tha-thanks hyung.."

"Don't drink too much, you'll upset your stomach.."

Taehyung nods, letting him take away the cup. "C-can..We..we call the others?"

"Ah, Tae, hospitals don't have good signal and neither does the cabin.. Tae?"

"Oh.." Taehyung looks down, worry still knotting his stomach. I know they are okay, but I just want to talk to them.

"hey Tae, guess what?" Namjoon asks, trying to keep him distracted until the medicine kicked in, seeing the fear still hasn't left his eyes. "Taehyung-ah.."

Taehyung's eyes were unfocused not registering that Namjoon said anything until the second time. "Huh?"

"Jimin sent a message. Your phone was turned in. He's going to bring it in the morning. Until then you can use my phone.. look Tae, there are messages for you."

Taehyung looks at the phone, scrolling through weverse.

I hope you get well soon Taehyung.

We love you Tae, take care of your health.

Those people weren't really army. Please don't think we're all that way. I love you and respect your privacy.

I'm sorry that happened to you. I can't believe anyone would act that. I saw the footage online and cried. I hope you recover soon. I love you.

"Footage...what footage?" Taehyung asks, trying to cover a yawn.

"Someone caught what happened on their phone. It got uploaded online." Namjoon answers reluctantly, not wanting to even mention it.

Taehyung didn't want to relive that memory again, continuing to scroll through the messages, stopping when he saw a photo of Gina wearing the baseball cap he was wearing. "She wrote a lot.."

"Who?" Namjoon asks curious about what got him so focused, seeing his eyes dart back and forth.

"Namjoonie-Hyung that's the girl who helped me.. Gina.. she's really mad at the other army..they are calling her a liar though.." He says showing him the message. "It's in English so I can't read it well.."

"A lot of army are really upset about what happened.. I want to thank her. Let me see it. I'll handle it."

Thank you for taking care of Taehyung when we got separated. I'm taking care of him now. Love you, Gina.

Namjoon goes to give the phone back to Taehyung after his comment, but he already fell back to sleep. "Rest well Tae.." He kisses the top of his head. "Love you.." Namjoon takes a quick picture of Taehyung laying on his chest, accepting his fate becoming his body pillow. What am I going to do with you? Namjoon smiles fondly, drifting to sleep himself. Both boys have had a long day...
