Sweat was dripping down their faces, of course the staff tried their best to cover it up as they are shooting a music video. The sun is shining so bright and it is mid summer one of the hottest days this year and everyone felt like they are all drowning in their own sweat.
"Disgusting." Jin says as he wipes his forehead with the inside of his sleeve just before one of the staff members runs towards him to wipe it away without ruining the makeup. The staff also redo some so it will look perfect in the light.
"I hate this weather." Taehyung says, feeling a bit lightheaded as it was getting a bit to much. They all wore clothes that covered up their entire body. Taehyung was wearing a black leather jacket, with a white shirt and tied black pants. The others all wore something similar to it all in the same style.
"I love this weather when I am at the beach, enjoying the wave in the water with a cold beer in my hand." Namjoon says, feeling a bit down at the thought that they were not there and still here in this open place, where the sun s shining brightly on them and only them and the staff members.
The dancers all had a water break as the members needed to do their own scenes, so they were all relaxing in the shadow while the members were slowly melting away. The shooting isn't going all to smooth. Due the heat some dancers started to feel unwell and even one passed out. BTS of course told everyone to think about themselves and if something started to feel off that they should stop. Only if they listen to themselves sometimes.
Taehyung can slowly feel a ichty feeling on his skin, he can feel the heat of his body redating on himself and it felt like someone was knocking on his head with a small hammer.
But even though Taehyung isn't feeling well, Taehyung could see that Yoongi was struggling too. He walks up to his hyung, as Jin and Jungkook are shooting their part and Namjoon, Hoseok and Jimin were talking waiting for their scene.
"You ok hyung?" Taehyung asks, as he sinks down to Yoongi who is sitting on the ground in the shadow of a tent that was just set up for them so they had a bit of rest.
Yoongi just nods as he slowly lets his body lay down and he stares into the nothingness.
"You sure?" Taehyung asks, knowing that his brother is lying as he knows him way to well and he can see the pale skin of the rapper.
"Just feeling a bit light headed due the heat." Yoongi answers now. "You ok?" Taehyung is a little bit shocked to get that question but of course he isn't on planning to tell him that his head hurts too and that his body is starting to itch a bit.
"it is pretty warm, but I feel fine." Taehyung answers. But Yoongi could hear that he was lying, they know each other too well.
"It's ok, not to be ok." Yoongi says, remembering the time were Taehyung really was fighting his inner demons back in 2018. It was a hard year for the boys but Taehyung was the one struggled the most and really tried to hide it as he thought he should handle it just like the others were at that moment.
"My head hurts a bit too and my body is a bit itchy." Taehyung says after a small hesitation if he should talk. Yoongi smiles softly at him and tells Taehyung to lay down next to him and Taehyung does what he is told. Yoongi wasn't prepared for the warmth that Taehyung body is given him, of course the weather outside did have some impact on that but the heat that was radiation of his body was not only from that, it was also a little fever that Yoongi could feel.
He didn't know if it was the his instinct as he was being older and he had a soft spot for the second youngest of the group. The boy always had a special place in his heart and he couldn't explain it.
"Are you feeling sick?" Yoongi asks not really sure if his feeling was correct, maybe it was the weather.
Taehyung looks up and Yoongi could see how pale the boy was, his eyes are telling him that the boy is tired.
"No." Taehyung says, not lying on the moment, he was not feeling his best but he wasn't feeling sick at all. Yoongi smiles as he could see Taehyung relaxing next to him as his head turns back to look up at the sky.
Yoongi would keep an eye on him, as it was going to be a long day.
But long days also passes, now Taehyung wasn't feeling very well anymore. His whole body felt itchy, he feels heavy and sick, it feels like he can puke any moment. If all that wasn't enough, his head was pouting like crazy. Sweat was all oer his body due the dancing and the itching becomes worse and worse as the day goes on.
"AND THAT IS IT!" the director yells as everyone lets out happy yells, people give each other high fives, the members thank everyone as they all gather their stuff.
"Let's help with the last things before going home." Jimin says as the others nod and they all start cleaning up the things laying around.
Yoongi can see how Taehyung is struggling, Taehyung really tried to hide it for everyone and maybe it was working for most of them. Everyone could tell something was wrong with the younger, but everyone was tired, so they were not surprised that Taehyung was having a moment.
Taehyung walks around trying to gather things from the scenes, but as he ducks down to pick something up his world starts to turn. He felt like his food that he had earlier was coming up again, his body was still hot and it itchy. Unnotedly he starts to scratch his body while cleaning the last things.
"Ok, I think that was it. Thank you everyone!"
With that the boys gather around to get in the car to drive back to the dorm. It is a two hour drive and Taehyung leans his head against the cold window hoping for some coolness, but his body only seems to itch more.
He keeps on scratching, but it doesn't seem to work, his stomach is getting upset but he doesn't want to eat and everything around him feels so warm, all he wants to do it take of all his clothes.
So first he takes of his jacket, but as soon as he sees his arms he puts it back on, his arms are covered with red dots, little bumps are all over his arms. Without thinking he puts it back on, Yoongi catches the boy doing it but doesn't say anything. But Yoongi isn't the only one, Jimin, who is sitting nexto to Taehyung looks at him.
"You should take it of, it is really warm in here and your sweating like crazy." Jimin says, making the others look up at the two in the back.
"No, I am fine." Taehyung says not wanting to get into it on the moment. He just wants to go home and take a shower.
"Tae, it is really warm in a car with 8 people, please take it off you giving me a fever." Jin says with a soft smile but Taehyung shakes his head.
"We are almost home." Taehyung says not wanting to make this a discussion, everyone notives the tone in his voice change. They all know that he knows he is wrong but he just doesn't want to admit it.
With that the drive goes by really slow, but after the hours of driving they finally make it back to the dorm. The boys get out of the car and Taehyung can't talk on this moment. His stomach is making him feel sick and he is in the edge of puking for the last 30 minutes. He hasn't spoken or sing along with the songs in the car.
He was just prenting to sleep the time, as soon as the door of the dorms opens he gets in and tries to walk as fast as he can to one of the toilets in the house.
He sinks down in front of it and starts to puke, as the last meal they all had was lunch were he didn't eat that much he could feel himself starting to vomit more stomach acid than food.
He takes of his jacket and could see how his arms are covered in the bumps and red dots everywhere and they were still itching. Some are even bleeding a bit by the scratching.
As he is in one of the bathrooms he turns on the shower and turns it on, he takes of all his clothes and is shock to see that his whole body is covered with the same red bumps that are on his arms.
He wants to scream, he really wants to let someone know, let someone know that he doesn't know what to do. But on this moment their itchy and burning a bit he needs to cool down.
He steps under the shower and turns it as cold as he can handle it. The cold water all over his body, normally he would really hate that, but right now it feels like paradise.
His skin might feel a bit better now that he is standing under the cold stream of water, he overall isn't feeling well.
His head is still pouting, his stomach is still upset and his whole world seems to spin. His vision is getting black dotted, he sinks down and sits on the ground hoping to make it all disappear btu it doesn't seem to help.
The world slowly fades away before his eyes and he isn't even noticing that he is passing out due all of the stress his body is in now.

"Has anyone see V?" Yoongi says, not really wanting to ask the question but he is getting a bit worried as he hasn't seen the younger since they all came back home. Most of the members already took a fast shower, and as they all share 3 bathroom in this dorm it is really easy.
"He looked really tired did you check his bedroom? Maybe he fell asleep as he was putting on different clothe?" Namjoon says not really sure if he should be concerned as Yoongi isn't normally the one to worry.
"I don't know." Yoongi says getting up from the couch and walks towards the room that belong to Taehyung.
He knocks on the door and waits for an answer, but the answer to et him in doesn't come.
"Tae?" he softly whispers as he opens the door not wanting to wake up the younger if he was sleeping.
But as he opens the door, the room shows nothing more than a bed, clothes on the ground and a two closets.
"V?" he calls a little louder not sure where the boy could be. He walks out of the room.
Maybe he is taking a shower, or he is pooping, maybe he is just somewhere outside.
He shouldn't be outside, he has a fever...
All kinds of thoughs are going around in Yoongi minds.
"HYUNG!" a scream rings through the dorm making everyone look up.
"Jimin?" Hoseok yells waiting for a responds from the first maknea.
"HYUNG!" Jimin keeps on screaming, you can hear that he is crying on the moment.
"Were are you?" Hoseok yells back, trying to find the voice and Yoongi is doing the same.
Hoseok runs around in the house as he finally makes it to the bathroom were Jimin is standing in the shower, the shower is turned of and he is all drained in water but someone is sitting behind him.
"Jimin?" Hoseok asks.
"Hyung." Jimin says still crying and Yoongi walks also into the small room, Jimin turns his head towards them and the little movement of the boy shows a unconscious Taehyung.
Hosoek and Yoongi sprint towards the two younger once and the shock gets bigger as they see Taehyung whole body covered in red little dots.
Hoseok takes Jimin into his arms as he wraps a towel around the boy.
"You ice cold!" Hoseok says shocked as he feel the clothes of Jimin.
"The water was cold." Jimin says trying to calm down as he broke down seeing his soulmate like this.
"Its ok. We will take care of him. get yourself some dry clothes and make sure your ae not getting sick." Hoseok says hugging Jimin softly before Jimin walks out and the attention of both rappers goes to Taehyung.
"He has a fever." Yoongi says.
"What are those bumps?" Hoseok asks.
"I think it is the urticaria cholinergica." It is Jin who is now standing behind them and looking at Taehyung just as worried as the others.
"Namjoon is taking care of Jimin and Jungkook, to make sure that we can handle this." He continues.
"What?" Hoseok asks looking up confused.
"Taehyung mom once told me about it, that when he is getting a bit overheated he gets red bumps on his body and they are itchy and burning sometimes, he just said told me he got it this bad."
"He knew?" Yoongi asks confused.
"I don't think so, I don't even think he remembers the last time he got it." Jin says.
"What do we do?" Hoseok asks.
"It will all disappear in a few hour, lets get him dressed in some easy cool clothes and get him in bed."
With that the three get the boy out of the shower, Taehyung is totally out of it and doesn't wake up and as he does he is just saying words that can't be heard before falling back into unconsciousness.
"Is he going to be ok?" Yoongi asks, feeling a bit guilty. "How did I not realise that something was so off."
"What you mean?" Hoseok asks confused, looking at the maknea that they just laid into the bed and Yoongi sits next to the boy on the bed going through his hair.
"He told me his body was itching and he felt like he had a fever, but I didn't think it would be this bad."
"It isn't that bad, he will be fine." Jin says.
"Look at him." Yoongi says feeling sad.
"I do, you see how his face is given a soft smile now. the dots a less red and the it all seems a bit better now." Jin says. "his fever isn't that high. Tomorrow he will be fine."
"You sure?" Hoseok asks, Jin nods his head yes.
"Let him sleep, we also need some sleep come guys." Jin says and the other two nod.
But Yoongi doesn't stand up, he just make him self comfortable enough so he can sleep here.
"I will not leave him." Yoongi says, Hoseok and JIn smile before walking out og the room.
It is the middle fo the night as Taehyung wakes up and feels someone laying next to him he looks up and is confused to see Yoongi sleeping next to him. but his mind drifst of as he puke all over the floor. The movement of puking make Yoongi wake up and Taehyung starts to cry.
"Hey, hey its ok." Yoongi says taking the boy into a hug.
"You feeling better now?"
Taehyung can't speak as he nods his head feeling bad about puking.
"let me clean that up for you. how are you feeling overall?"
Yoongi asks as he starts to clean up the acid on the floor, which isn't that much.
"My body diesn't itch anymore." Taehyng says not remembering anything.
"What are you doing here?"
"What you mean? You think I will leave you alone after yu passed out in the cold shower?"
Taehyung looks confused, not really sure what he can remember, but the last thing he knows is the drive home and the red bumps. He looks at his body and notice that he is dressed, someone took of his clothes and put on clean ones. They saw the red dots.
"it is ok, they are not as red and itchy anymore." Yoongi says.
"You saw?"
"You think you can hide that when your naked in the shower?"
Taehyung head turns red as he feels ashamed.
"I.."
"V-ah, its fine. You fine now."
Taehyung smiles as he lays back down and feels a lot better than before,e ven though he can't remember that much.
"Goodnight V." Yoongi says laying back down knowing that everything will be fine now.
