Chapter Text
Yoongi had never been so happy to be back at the dorms. After only a week into his post-surgery recovery, all he could think about was getting back to work with the rest of the boys; ofcourse their managers wouldnt allow that, but Yoongi argued none the less.
When he finally got to go live in the dorms for the rest of his recovery, he was absolutely over the moon. Yoongi was still in a little pain and brought his shoulder sling with him incase he had any bad days, and he also had some new pain medications that he needed to take for 2 weeks, but he was still happy to be back.
Jin forced himself into the role of Yoongi's main "care giver" once he came back; the oldest had made sure Yoongi was completely settled, asked Yoongi how the sling worked, and read all the information on Yoongi's medications. "Yah, you're worse than my mom", Yoongi had complained with Jin's constant hovering, but he was thankful for how much his hyung cared.
Yoongi still wasn't allowed to dance quite yet, the managers decided he should still relax until he no longer had random instances of shoulder pain; so Yoongi would often tag along to the studio to watch or stay back at the dorms and just hang out.
Today Yoongi opted to stay home.
"Is it bad?", Jin had come into the living room and noticed Yoongi on the couch; rubbing his shoulder with a wince of pain evident on his face. Jin set his dance bag down and moved to kneel infront of the younger boy. "You don't need to come to the studio today, okay? Just stay here and relax a bit.".
Yoongi just nodded as Jin placed his hand on Yoongi's knee, he continued to try and gently rub the pain out of his shoulder like his physiotherapist had taught him.
Jin stood up and retrieved his bag, "Okay, we're all going to head out, but we'll be back soon. Its a shorter practice today.". Once again, Yoongi nodded. Jin sighed, "Have you taken any of your pain meds yet today?", Yoongi shook his head. Jin turned and disapeared from Yoongi's line of sight, quickly heading to get Yoongi's meds for him.
The older came back quickly with two pills and a glass of water, gently passing both the items to Yoongi, making sure the boy got a hold of them before Jin let go. Yoongi slowly popped the pills in his mouth and washed them down with the water before handing the cup back to Jin, "thank you," he groaned out. Jin stood and ran his hand through Yoongi's hair a few times.
"Okay, the others are probably waiting for me." Jin said, he set the cup on the table infront of Yoongi and turned to leave once more, "try and take a nap, yeah? Give the meds some time to kick in.". Yoongi nodded again, watching his hyung smile before turning and leaving the dorm. It was quiet.
Yoongi felt lonely when the boys all left. He came back to the dorms because he was bored and lonely back home, but unfortunately the other members still had things to do that he couldn't participate in quite yet.
Yoongi sighed as he shifted himself to lay down, avoiding his bad side as he made himself comfortable on the couch; Jin was right, he should take a nap. The new medication was already beginning to make the smaller boy feel drowsy, his eyelids pulling down almost as soon as his laid his head on one of the couch pillows. If he can't do anything with the other boys, he might as well sleep until they get back.
Yoongi gave in to sleep as he curled in on himself, letting the pain meds relax his body.

"Yoongi"
"Yoongi, wake up buddy"
Yoongi's head felt foggy. He could hear someone calling his name but it sounded like they were under water.
"Yoongi come on honey you have to wake up."
Jin? Yeah, that was Jin.
Yoongi could feel the other boy gently rubbing his arm and back, trying to pull him from his drug induced slumber. Man those pills were strong.
"Yoongi its okay, its alright honey just open your eyes."
Why was he saying that? Jin sounded so gentle, like he was trying to stop a child from crying. Why?
Yoongi heard himself groan as his head tried to clear itself, slowly allowing him to crack his eyes open a little to look at his hyung. Jin smiled slightly at Yoongi, but he looked worried?
"Jn...?" Yoongi slurred, he felt like he was controlling a body that wasnt even his own.
Jin moved his hand up to pet the side of Yoongi's head, running long fingers through dark hair.
"Yeah its me Yoongi, how do you feel?", Jin still looked concerned. Yoongi just looked at him, not really knowing how to answer the question. He moved his eyes around a little, noticing Jin wasn't the only one here.
Namjoon and Hoseok were standing a little behind Jin, both also peering down at Yoongi with what looked like...... sadness? What was going on? All three of the boys infront of Yoongi almost looked upset to see him, Yoongi looked back to Jin and tried to force his mouth to form some words.
"Ws.. goinon...", Yoongi dragged out. It was barely discernible, but Jin understood him anyway; the older sighed and turned to look at the other two boys in the room for a moment, looking like he had no idea what to say to Yoongi.
Jin turned back towards Yoongi and continued to pet his hair a little, it felt nice.
"Yoongi....." Jin started, looking at his dongsaeng with so much pity in his eyes it was beginning to scare Yoongi; he wanted to reach out to his hyung but he knew his arms wouldnt cooperate right now.
"Yoongi....", Jin started again, "Its not your fault, okay bud?". Yoongi was confused, and clearly it showed on his face as Jin continued, realizing that Yoongi clearly had no idea what was going on.
Jin signed, shifting a little closer to the couch, "You've wet yourself, Yoongi", Jin said, he sounded so calm; but Yoongi's foggy mind began to race.
"W...what?", Yoongi almost whimpered, he heard what Jin said but he could barely process what it meant. Jin continued to lightly scratch as his scalp, trying to keep him alert.
"Its okay," Jin said, trying to keep the younger boy calm, "Its a side-effect of the pain meds, sweetie. It is NOT your fault."
Yoongi looked up at Namjoon and Hoseok again, both of them still looking at Yoongi with pity in their eyes; theres no way this was actually happening.
".... what?", Yoongi said again. Jin signed.
"Lets sit up okay Yoons?", Jin spoke softly, slowly shifting his arms under Yoongi's upper body and lifting him into a sitting position on the couch; Yoongi's head was absolutely swimming, but he let Jin man-handle him anyway. Once he was sitting up, thats when he saw it.
Yoongi looked down at his lap as his head lolled forward, finally seeing what Jin was talking about. There was a fairly large dark patch formed on the front of the grey sweats Yoongi had chosen to wear today; he had indeed wet himself. All the information was finally beginning to process in Yoongi's mind, and he felt absolutely humiliated.
"Ah, Yoongi its okay honey, it wasn't your fault.", Jin spoke softly as he moved to kneel infront of Yoongi like he had done before, taking Yoongi's face into his hands as the younger boy's eyes began to fill with tears, "the pain meds are muscle relaxants Yoongi, this was listed as one of the side-effects, its alright". Yoongi slowly shook his head in Jin's hands as a few tears fell from his eyes.
Jin turned to speak over his shoulder, finally adressing the other two boys in the room, "Namjoon, can you go get a bath started? Nice and warm please." Namjoon quickly nodded and left the room. Yoongi was thankful to have atleast one less pair of eyes on him right now, even though Namjoon had already seen everything. Had the maknaes seen? Yoongi felt his stomach sink a little at the thought of the youngest members seeing him like this; weak and childish when he was supposed to be a role model.
Yoongi sniffled as Jin wiped away some tears with his thumb, "its okay Yoongi, shhh shh shh, its okay, hyung's going to help you, okay?". Yoongi sniffled again, not even bothering to respond.
"Yoongi, do you think you can walk right now?" Jin asked hesitently, he could tell the pain meds were still heavy in Yoongi's system as he practically held the boy upright on the couch. Yoongi didnt answer him, but Jin was pretty sure he knew the answer was 'no'; Yoongi was just too embarassed right now to say so.
Jin liften a hand from Yoongi's cheek to rake through the boys hair again, "okay, its alright, hyung can carry you.", Yoongi watched through cloudy eyes as Jin shifted to be beside Yoongi instead of infront of him, lacing an arm behind the smaller boys back as well as hooking another below his knees. "We're gonna get you cleaned up, okay Yoons? Everything's going to be alright.". Yoongi's head lolled forward again as he felt himself get lifted from the couch, Jin grunted as he got Yoongi situated in his hold, the boys head resting heavily on his shoulder. It was like Yoongi was drunk.
"Hobi," Jin turned towards Hoseok as he started to head to the bathroom, Yoongi snug in his arms, "Can you start cleaning up the couch now?".
"Yeah.", Hoseok nodded, picking up the supplies that Yoongi hadnt even noticed was already on the table. He wanted to yell that he would clean it up, that Hobi didnt need to do that. But Yoongi's lips remained feeling weighted, a mix of drugs and humiliation keeping him from saying anything. He let out another embarassed whimper into Jin's chest as more tears fell. Jin gently shushed the boy in his arms.
Jin approached the bathroom with Yoongi, walking in just as Namjoon was standing from the side of the tub, "Hey", the leader spoke softly, "the baths ready. I just checked the temperature, it should be okay." Jin nodded and moved to set Yoongi down on the closed toilet lid. Namjoon kneeled infront of Yoongi like Jin had done before, reaching up a hand to pet Yoongi's hair, "Its okay, hyung", Namjoon spoke sweetly, still not entirely sure if Yoongi even fully understood what was going on right now as he looked into his glassy eyes, "Jin's right, it's not your fault, okay?". Of course, Yoongi didnt respond with more than a blink, but Namjoon wasn't expecting much anyway.
"Okay", Namjoon said, standing up and letting Jin move to sit infront of Yoongi again, "Call us if you need any help, hyung". Namjoon turned and left the bathroom, gently closing the door behind him and going to see how Hoseok was doing with the couch.
Jin took Yoongi's face back into his hands and smiled gently at the poor boy, his cheeks were tear stained and his face flushed with embarassment. The wet patch on his sweats still as dark as before.
"Hyung's gonna help you get in the bath now, okay Yoons?", Jin said softly, giving Yoongi a moment to process his words through his clouded mind, "Its going to be okay, hyung's got you". Jin gently began to take off Yoongi's t-shirt, being cautious around the boys shoulder before tossing the fabric to the floor. Then he moved to Yoongi's pants.
Yoongi made a noise of protest as Jin's fingers looped into his waist band. The boys had all seen eachother naked before, Yoongi didn't care about that; what he did care about was the fact that his best friend was taking off his pee soaked pants and underwear because he had WET HIMSELF like a damn child. Jin could obviously tell what was going through Yoongi's mind.
"Yoongi its okay sweetie.", Jin tried to reassure the crying boy; he was absolutely humiliated and Jin felt horrible for him, "It wasn't your fault Yoonie, it says right on the pill bottle that 'incontinence' is a side-effect since its a complete bodily muscle relaxant. I figured this could happen once you started taking them, no one is thinking any less of you because of this.", Yoongi just let out a quiet sob in response. Jin frowned and reached up to hold Yoongi's puffy cheeks again, gently pulling the boy's head forward to lightly kiss him on the forehead.
"Okay, lets get you cleaned up now before the water gets cold.", Jin went back to Yoongi's waistband and gently peeled the sweats and underwear away at the same time, tossing both into the corner of the bathroom to put in the laundry later. Yoongi shivered as the cold bathroom air hit his wet skin; Jin looked and noticed that Yoongi's crotch looked slightly irritated from the wet fabric. The older boy frowned; he has no idea how long Yoongi had been laying in his mess before they came home and found him like that, he's not entirely suprised the boy had a rash.
Jin stood and gently pulled Yoongi into his arms again before turning and slowly lowering him into the warm bath water, Yoongi's shivering came to a hault once his entire body was submerged. "There you go sweetheart.", Jin mumbled as he pulled his arms out from under Yoongi, "I bet that feels better already, huh?". Yoongi felt like putty in the water, the itch that he began to notice from between his legs already subsiding as he relaxed in the tub.
Jin made quick work of washing the smaller boy, using a soft cloth to clean between Yoongi's legs as the boy continued to quietly cry; he wanted so badly to do this himself, but his arms still practically felt like lead. He was so lucky and thankful to have a friend like Jin; as much as he wished the boys would just leave him until he could take care of the problem himself, he knew Jin would never do that to him.
Yoongi didnt see how Jin immediately kicked into his "mother mode" upon being the first to notice him on the couch. Jin had quickly told the maknaes to go to their rooms with no explanation and told Namjoon and Hoseok to stay with him; he explained to the younger two what was happening and how he knew it was because of Yoongi's meds. Hoseok had immediately volunteered to clean up the couch, and Namjoon was frantically trying to think of a way to help as well; both boys feeling horrible for their poor hyung who had to go through this.
Jin finished cleaning Yoongi's lower half and set the cloth aside, "I would let you sit in here a little longer Yoons, but i think you need to go back to sleep for a little while. Let your head clear a little more.". Yoongi didnt express it, but he definately agreed. His head felt like it was filled with rocks.
Jin reached down into the water and unplugged the drain, going to pet Yoongi's hair again as he waited for the water to run out. Once the tub was fully drained, Jin grabbed one of the big white towels and wrapped Yoongi up in it before hoisting him into his arms one last time.
"Okay, lets get you dressed and into bed.", Yoongi let his head rest on Jin's chest again as he was carried out of the bathroom, soon feeling himself being lowered onto a bed. Jin's bed.
Jin grabbed a pair of Yoongi's underwear from a drawer, knowing it would fit the best, but then proceeded to grab a pair of his own sweats and a hoodie from his closet. He knew Yoongi liked wearing oversized and comfy clothes when he wasnt feeling well.
Yoongi felt the humiliation flood through him once again as Jin took the towel away from his body, Jin tsked under his beath. The irritation between Yoongi's legs looked bad, Jin didnt want to embarrass Yoongi any further, but he also didnt want his dongsaeng to be in any more pain than he already was.
"Yoongi...", Jin spoke hesitantly, knowing Yoongi was not going to like what came next, "Yoongi I'm going to put some cream on you, okay? You have a rash and I don't want it to hurt you..."
Yoongi's mind was already drifting between sleep and reality as the pills effects continued to rage on, he heard Jin speaking to him but he couldnt understand him at all; he just wanted to go back to sleep and hopefully wake up to find this was all a dream.
Jin sighed, going to grab the cream anyway as he knew Yoongi wasn't going to respond. The boys had rash cream in the dorm bathroom; with all the dancing and sweating in skin tight jeans, chafing was a common re-occurance. He walked back to the bed where Yoongi's eyes had closed again, he just wants nothing more than to wrap the smaller boy up in a blanket and make him feel better.
The old boy got some cream on his fingers and gently applied it between Yoongi's legs; the cold feeling made Yoongi whimper a little in suprise, but luckily he was pretty much asleep at this point. Jin fully expected Yoongi to try and kick him for doing this, but the boy was down for the count.
Jin finished applying the cream and wiped his hands off on the discarded towel before gently pulling up Yoongi's underwear and Jin's sweats, then he lifted Yoongi up to rest on his chest while he pulled the large hoodie over the boys head. Once Yoongi was fully dressed, Jin place a hand on the back of his head and gently guided him to lay down, turning Yoongi to lay on his good side so his shoulder pain wouldnt wake him up. The older pulled the blankets up to Yoongi's chin and gave him another light kiss on the forhead before grabbing the towel and leaving the room, collecting the discarded clothes from the bathroom to put them in the wash.
Namjoon and Hoseok met Jin in the living room; Tae, Jimin, and Jungkook were sitting on the (now clean and dried) couch with the other two boys, having texted Hoseok over and over again asking what was going on.
"How is he?", Namjoon asked once Jin came and sat on the coffee table across from the others.
Jin let out a deep breath, "he's okay.", he said, "He's absolutely humiliated... but thats understandable...."
Tae shifted a little where he sat, "hyung...", he asked quietly, wondering if he was even allowed to ask questions right now, "what happened with Yoongi-hyung?". The other two maknaes stared intently at Jin, both also filled with worry as they hadnt been told anything yet.
"Ah... well...", Jin started. He wasnt sure if he should even tell the younger boys what happened, as he knew Yoongi probably wouldnt want them to know; but if this happened again, it would be better if the younger boys knew what to do incase Jin wasnt there.
"Yoongi has started taking some new medication for his shoulder pain.", Jin said, giving the full background story, "The meds are referred to as 'complete bodily muscle relaxants', so theyre essentially meant to relax every muscle in his body..."
Jin looked at Namjoon and Hoseok, both of them looking down sadly, still thinking about how Yoongi must be feeling.
"Yoongi took some of his pills before we left and fell asleep," Jin continued, "and he ended up... having an accident while we were gone.".
The three youngers looked confused for a moment, "an accident?", Jungkook asked. Jin rubbed a hand down his face.
"Yoongi wet himself.", Jin just spit it out.
Yoongi was going to hate him.
The three maknaes stared at Jin for a moment, Jimin spoke first; "Oh, poor Yoongi-hyung. Is he okay?". "Yeah is there anything we can do?!", Taehyung quickly chimed in after Jimin.
Jin smiled at the maknaes, glad they were wanting to help their hyung feel better, "Yes he's okay.", he said, "we got him cleaned up and now he's just sleeping the rest of the medication off; they made him extremely drowsy and he was practically dead weight, I think its because he didnt take the pills with food but we'll just have to keep an eye on the effects as he continues to take them".
"Uh... Jin-hyung...", Namjoon finally spoke up, "what if he refuses to take his meds after this?"
Jin paused. How did he not even think about that? Yoongi would most definately rather deal with extreme shoulder pain than risk wetting himself again; Jin, now as Yoongi's primary care-giver, would have to force him to take his pills.
"Well cross that bridge when we get to it I guess", Jin spoke, "I'll talk to him when he wakes up. For now, the rest of you need to wash up and get ready to have dinner.". Jin stood from the coffee table, taking a moment to ruffle each maknaes hair before going back to his and Yoongi's room to change.
Jin looked at Yoongi still fast asleep on his bed and smiled, atleast he didnt look like he was in pain.
