Hatching

Don't Leave

Oct 1, 2017

By the time they arrived at the hotel in Osaka, Japan, the boys were exhausted. They just had a comeback not that long ago, which meant that their schedules were packed. They were done promoting their newest album in Korea and now had to continue their WINGS world tour.

"All of this week is break, so get some good rest, visit Japan, and have fun. You all deserve it for your hard work. Everyone knows who's sharing a room with who?"

Jimin gave Dawa a mischievous smile, which clearly showed, despite being exhausted from traveling, and the hectic schedules, he still had energy for a little fun. "Hyung, do you want to watch a drama tonight?" He asked, only to get smacked in the head by Yoongi.

"Jimin, he needs to sleep. Do you not see the bags under his eyes?"

"Hyung, we all have bags under our eyes!" Jimin rebutted.

Yoongi took in a deep breath. "Jimin, he hasn't been sleeping for the past week. He got a total of 24 hours of sleep this week. That's about 3 hours each night."

Jimin's eyes widened at this knowledge. "I didn't know you were getting such little sleep. Hyung, I take back my invitation. You need sleep, I think at this point, Yoongi hyung gets more sleep than you."

Dawa was too exhausted to actually pay attention to Jimin and Yoongi's little argument.

When Dawa was all washed up, he plopped in bed. Jimin was already in bed, on his phone.

"Hyung, do you want me to turn off the light?" Jimin asked in a sort of hushed voice. He didn't receive an answer. "Hyung?" Jimin called again. "Are you already asleep?" He asked, only to not get any response.

Jimin tiptoed towards Dawa's bed. He took a quick picture of Dawa's sleeping state. He decided to text it to the big group chat, which included not only the members but also Do Hwan and Sae-Jun.

Mochi: Rare sight of Dawa Hyung actually sleeping and getting rest! This one is for the history books.

Father Manager: Jimin, do not wake the boy up, matter of fact, go sleep with Taehyung, I don't want to risk you waking him up.

Tae Bear: Jimin, come to me and Hobi's room, we're going to watch a drama.

Kooki: I wanna come too!

Hope: Then come, the more, the merrier~

Jimin quietly left the room. He was extra careful not to make any loud noises, as he closed the door.

It was late at night, around midnight, Do Hwan was still not asleep yet. He had stayed up to finish one of his poetry books. He was now in the hallway, on his way to get ice. He passed by two rooms, one completely silent, and another where he could hear the sound of some Drama playing on TV.

"These kids are still up, I guess." He shook his head. Then, right as he passed the third door, he heard a short, startled scream. Do Hwan instantly turned to that door, the card key in hand, and swiped the card key all in one swift movement. He yanked the door open, only to see Dawa sat up in bed, panting heavily, holding his neck.

Do Hwan walked to Dawa, who was still startled by his nightmare. "Dawa?"

"Hyung." Dawa let out a relieved sigh. As if he just realized that his nightmare was not his reality. "Hyung, I'm okay. Just a bad dream."

Bad dream or bad memory? Do Hwan almost asked but stopped himself. Jimin had sent that picture of Dawa sleeping only two hours ago, and Do Hwan suddenly felt angry at the realisation that Dawa only got about two hours of sleep before his nightmare woke him up.
