Seokjin hears the small whimper, the warning call, before he hears the ear splitting scream as Taehyung thrashes in his bed. Twisted up in his sheets he's kicking out his legs, face pained in all the ways he can't express in consciousness.
And he's there, ignoring the hiss of pain as Taehyung's fist glances his cheekbone, carefully, quickly, methodically pulling him from his cacoon.
And he's there, shifting him to the floor even though the space difference isn't huge because he's shaking the structure of the bunk-beds.
He pulls Taehyung close and whispers cool, calming, even words into his ear and rubs soothing circles into his sweat soaked back.
Taehyung doesn't wake, but he calms. His body slumps against Jin and he's snuffling softly as Jin puts the earbuds of his mp3 player back in (playing an asmr video he'd downloaded earlier that day, it was repeating over and over). Jin checks the battery life of the small piece of technology (deeming it adequate for the rest of the next hour of sleep left for them).
The rest of the members are mumbling various volumes of discontent, but are shuffling back to sleep, some barely registering the scream itself.
Jin smiles fondly at Taehyung before forgoing his own bed and leaving to the kitchen, basking in the peace of the early morning before the rush of schedules sweeps them away again.
