Namjoon's POV -

Tonight is the night of the BBMAs, so, as you can imagine, things are in a state of excitement. We're already fully dressed, ready to go. We're just waiting for the limo to show up. Our makeup is done, our hair is styled, and the others' English lines have been learnt. This will be the night for us to impress.

There's just one slight problem: Jimin. For the past two days, he's been sick, and he seems to have woken up this morning even worse.

The diarrhea thankfully went away on the first day, and he hasn't thrown up today, but he's still burning with fever, and he's all lethargic. Even now, despite the excitement, he's just flopped on the sofa, half-asleep. Thankfully we're not performing, because I don't think he's in the state to do it.

It doesn't take long for Hoseok to sit next to him and scoop him up into his arms like a baby. Jimin nuzzles into his chest, being careful enough not to smudge his makeup onto Hoseok's suit. Hoseok rests his hand on his forehead, frowning softly. I get a little closer to see what's happening.

"He's getting hotter," Hoseok says quietly to me, so not to disturb the others, who are still shouting cheerfully, getting more restless the longer we wait.

"Jimin?" I say gently. He turns to look at me, but his eyes are cloudy and dazed. His cheeks are pink with fever. "Do you think you can do this today? You don't have to come if you're feeling too poorly."

"I'm fine," he mumbles back, though he's clearly not. "Just tired."

"It's a really long show tonight. Are you sure you'll be able to sit through it? We're nominated for three awards, and, I know we might not win all three, you need to be sure you can get up and down three times. It's gonna be really hot, and we're gonna meet loads of celebrities, and lots of pap will be there."

Jimin groans loudly, hiding his face back into Hoseok. Hobi rubs his back gently, frowning again when he hears Jimin wheezing a little. The last thing he needs is a cough. Thankfully, this is our last schedule before a break, and Jimin will be able to rest up soon. I'm not confident he should come with us.

"It's here!" Jungkook cries excitedly, flapping his hands. Jungkook rarely stims; only when he's really excited or nervous. I can't help feeling happy for him, despite my worry for Jimin.

This is going to be our third BBMAs, so it's not like this is exactly a new experience for us, and we've been in limos plenty of times. But the BBMAs are by far one of the best award shows to attend, because all of the best performers are there. It feels so strange to stand there with them all, but I'm not going to try and pretend we don't deserve it. Our fans work too hard for us to be overlooked - like some certain other award show we won't mention.

We love lots of the celebrities we're about to meet - people who we wouldn't see in any other way. That's the exciting part. Plus, it's amazing we can bring our culture with us to a Western awards show. The media is really advancing, huh.

Hoseok helps Jimin to his feet, which is enough to catch the attention of the others. The room goes quiet, watching Jimin stumble a little with dizziness. Hoseok keeps a tight grip on him so he stays up, but, if he could, I think Jimin would faint. Even through the makeup, I can see the dark circles under his eyes, and his flushed face. It will take less for a second for the fans to realise he's really sick.
