Work Text:
Jungkook woke up soaked in sweat. His hair was damp and sticking to his forehead. He had a terrible stomach ache that felt like someone was repeatedly punching him in the gut. Suddenly he felt something in his throat. Knowing immediately what it was he rushed to the bathroom and hunched over the toilet spilling everything from last nights dinner.
Jin had felt off all morning. He could sense something was gonna happen as soon as he woke up. He didn’t pay much attention to it though thinking that it was just nerves because of their incoming comeback he continued his morning making breakfast for all of the members. As the oldest of the group, he felt it as his duty to make sure they were all well fed and happy.
Jin was in the kitchen of their shared dorm making them all french toast and a couple of other things. He was about to put the bread in the pan when he heard something coming from upstairs. Quickly he turned off the stove and ran through the dorm and up the stairs to see what was going on.
When the eldest reached the top of the stairs he stopped to see if he could hear where all the groaning was coming from. He checked some of the bedrooms and when they were all empty he decided to check the bathroom. There he found Jungkook leaned over the toilet.
“Oh my god jungkook are you okay?” Jin asked while he went to grab a washcloth to wipe the younger boys face off.
Jungkook leaned back against the tub and held his stomach. Jin quickly returned with a wet cloth and began to clean up Jungkooks face. “Thank you hyung.” jungkook said quietly. “Hey, it’s what I’m here for isn’t it?” Jin said while throwing the dirtied cloth in the laundry basket that was in the corner of the small bathroom. “C’ mon lets get you into a bath and into bed.”
Jin started the water and waited for it to warm up. Once he deemed it a good temperature he put in a lavender scented bath bomb. Jin then turned around and waiting for jungkook to take off his clothes and get into the tub.
“Hyung you’ve seen me naked a dozen times you don’t have to turn around,” Jungkook said while peeling the clothes off of his body. “I know, but right now you are sick and you will probably be embarrassed by it later if I saw you right now,” Jin said.
Jungkook stepped into the tub and sank down into the water sighing at how good the water felt on his skin. “You can turn back around now,” Jungkook said once he was fully settled down.
“I’m going to go tell the other members that you’re sick and that we are going to stay home today. I’ll be back in a few minutes to check on you. Do you need anything while I’m down there?” Jin asked while walking towards the door.
Jungkook sat with his eyes closed but still gave a response. “No, I think I’m good. Thank you so much Seokjinnie hyung. You don’t have to stay here with me though. I can take care of myself.”
“I know you can but it also gives me a chance to spend time with you and just relax for a day,”
Jin walked out of the bathroom and went in search of the other members.
Once he got downstairs he saw namjoon first and explained to him that jungkook was sick and that he would be staying home with him to make sure that he was okay and had some company.
Everyone else soon found out that jungkook was sick. Tae tried to convince jin that he should stay there too. “Can I stay at home too? I don’t want him to get lonely.” Tae had said with the biggest puppy dog eyes he could pull. To be honest, jin almost let him stay home. But jin just kissed his forehead and told him to be good and to have fun at practice.
The other members quickly got ready and rushed out the door wishing jungkook to get better and that they would be back before they even noticed.
Trust me we will notice. Jin said giggling to himself. Maybe he will finally get some peace. He loved his band members, he really did but sometimes they got to be too much and he just needs some quiet time.
Jin made his way back to the bathroom to check on jungkook. The maknae was sitting with his legs stretched out. His hands were running through the now cold bath water. “Are they gone?” Jungkook asked. “Yes, but Tae did try and convince me to let him stay home with you,” Jin said while reaching to drain the tub full of the lavender scented water. “Awe why didn’t you let him?” Jungkook said pouting slightly.
“Because he needs to practice,” Jin replied. “Mhm and I bet you wanted some quiet time with just me,” Jungkook said smirking.
“Wipe that smirk off your face and go get some pajamas on while I go get the thermometer,”
Jungkook went to his room and picked out some loose grey sweatpants and decided not to put a shirt on in case he got too hot.
Jin came back with the thermometer and began to take jungkooks temp.
Once he was done doing that he sat the thermometer down and told jungkook to pick out a movie.
Jin left to go make soup while the younger began to scan through is movie collection
He decided on iron man since that was his favorite super hero.
He popped the disk into the player and then got the bed ready so that he and jin could be comfortable while cuddling.
Jin was humming to some random song that he heard on the radio while he heated up the maknaes soup. He got a bowl down and poured the contents of the soup into it almost burning himself in the process.
Jin made it back to jungkooks room without any major accidents happening.
Jungkook was laid out across his bed. “What movie did you pick out?” Jin asked while he blew on the spoon that he was about to feed to the younger.
“You’ll see” was all jungkook said while opening his mouth to accept the spoon full of soup.
“You seem to be feeling much better than you were this morning. Are you sure you’re really sick?” Jin questioned.
“I was throwing up this morning but I do feel a lot better now that I’ve had time to take a break and relax.” Jungkook said while just shrugging.
After jin was done spoon feeding jungkook his soup which jungkook insisted he couldn’t do by himself they laid back on the bed and began to cuddle while the movie started.
Jungkooks voice was small when he began to speak “Can I be the small spoon please,”
Jin almost giggled at his childlike innocence. “Of course you can,” Jin said while turning him over to kiss him on the forehead. They moved into a position that was comfortable for the both of them. Jin wrapped his arms around the younger and pressed his back against his own chest.
They stayed like that until the movie was long over with and eventually fell asleep like that. Holding on to each other like they would never get another chance too.

The members came bursting through the doors until Namjoon told them they should be quiet just in case the two that stayed home were asleep. They indeed were asleep.
The members awed at the sight before them of the maknae and the eldest clung on to each other. Each of the members proceeded to kiss the sleeping beauties heads and walk out of the room after telling them quietly to sleep well.
Namjoon closed the bedroom door and made his way to where the other boys were piled up in the living room.
They all agreed to watch a movie and cuddle just as the other two did.
Falling asleep just as the other two did.
