" Seungmin nawa " It is not easy to get on Chan's bad side, but somehow as early as 6.00 in the morning just as the sun was coming up, six of the eight Straykids members managed to do just that. " Seungmin nawa," he didn't wait to be told a third time. From the entrance of the door way where they all stood, Seungmin took off his shoes leaving them neatly on the side before walking straight to where the leader stood.
-Earlier-
" Can i come too hyung?" Jeongin asked Changbin who was just about ready to leave the dorms, so were all his hyungs except for Chan. "Andwae " Lee know replied from the bathrooom as he heard the conversation. "But why when everyone else is going?" Jeongin began to whine feeling himself getting closer to tears at the unfairness. "Andwae," replied Lee know again, in a more playful manner this time. The maknae was simply getting frustrated, he wanted to go but no one would let him. "But hyung why?" "Andwae," Lee know replied again and before he knew it, he turned and he could see the tears running down the maknae's cheeks. Lee know pouted, and walked up to the sulky maknae grabbing him by the cheeks. "Tears are not going to change my mind, I.N-ah." Jeongin took a step back not letting the second oldest dry the tears on his cheeks for him. With a swift motion he rubbed the sleeve of his pyjama shirt across his eyes to get rid of the involuntary tears. "Why cant i go ?" He asked in a vaguely angry tone. "Because I.N-ah if you come with us and we get caught you are going to be in alot of trouble," Lee know took a step closer to him again, "also if we get caught and you are with us, we are going to be in a lot more trouble." The maknae pouted, defeated. You can not beat that logic. "Also you weren't feeling all to well that recently. You have just recovered, you should get some sleep." Jeongin stared at his hyung abit annoyed, but he also knew he was right. It's barely been three days since his fever went down and even though he was mostly better, it was best that he didn't exhaust his body too much. Meanwhile one would think that there was a fire in the dorm. Members were moving from one room to the other to the bathroom, borrowing clothes, shoes, fixing their hair. They were so excited. They were actually going to an afterparty for a new game that was launching. They had been dying to go but it was quite far and it was planned to go into the night. Did Chan allow it? No. Would the leader have allowed it? Maybe not. Did he know about it? Possibly. But that's not the point, the point is that Leeknow was going there to meet others of the 98line, Changbin to do the same, and for some miraculous twist of fate, when Hyunjin asked Lee know if he and the others could come too, he said yes. Except for Jeongin of course. The night was almost too good to be true, it was a given that Chan was going to be back at around eight in the morning which by then they were  going to be showered and in bed. They had just been given a few days off so the timing was just right. Approximately ten o'clock and everyone  was ready to go. Jeongin eyed them from the the corridor leading to all their bedrooms jealous but he was over it. Once they left he stayed up a bit, tried playing videogames and watching a kdrama but his body and mind were just not into it. He thought he could stay up late and revenge for being left out but he ended up going to bed at around 12.30 feeling exhausted for some reason. The others had made their way to the afterparty and were having the time of their lives. Initially when they had arrived, Lee know's friends were livid when they saw all his other dongsaengs. The more people you bring, the higher your chances of getting caught and Lee know had literally brought everyone. "What. They begged me to come. I couldn't get them off my back. Plus don't worry i left the maknae at the dorms." He tried to reassure them and eventually they went with it. The night went on and everyone just hanging out, Lee know found himself having to check up on Hyunjin and the others every now and then which he found quite bothersome but he very well knew he was responsible for them and he just wanted to make sure they were okay at all times. On the other hand in the dorms, Jeongin woke up at two in the morning hot to the touch. He was burning up again, the fever was back. His body ached, each individual muscle felt like it was on fire everytime he moved. His mouth was dry, his throat hurt and his lips were cracked. His chest clenched with every breath he took and he just felt like crying out of lack of what to do. He somehow gathered the strength to lift his head up off the pillow and sit on his bed. Felix's bed infront of him looked hazy, he wasn't sure if that was sleep or he maybe he was feeling dizzy. He tried to get up but his legs refused to hold his weight. He crashed into the floor next to bed, his body felt nauseatingly warm. His breathes were short. He reached out his hand looking for his phone, he couldn't do this alone, he didn't want to do this alone. No one else was at the dorms so even as he cried he knew no one was going to come. Again grabbing hold of the bed frame, he pulled himself up to his feet. With his phone in hand, he used the support of the walls and ended up in the kitchen. " Water." He croaked, but only to himself, no one was there to get him a glass of water. He had to do it himself. Lucky for him there was an empty glass on the counter next to the sink, he reached for it, wrapping his fingers around it. As soon as he had the glass off the counter, it slipped out of his hand hitting the sink with a loud bang. It felt heavier than usual, he felt weaker than usual. He reached for the tap and turned the water on, moved the glass so it was right under the spout. It filled and this time he grabbed it more intentionally. The water tasted sweet on his tongue as he quenched his thirst. "One more glass, " he thought out loud. Once he was no longer parched with thirst, he slowly sank to the floor. It was time to make a decision, he needed help, medicine and he was in no condition to get it himself. He thought of calling their leader but he knew what that would imply. It would mean that he had to tell him that he was home alone and that would obviously get his other hyungs in trouble, that's the last thing he wanted. He had a rough idea of where his other hyungs were and it was no where in the area, Chan was however like ten minutes away, tops. The maknae decided to call Lee know hyung and see how it goes from there. No answer. He had let the phone ring all the way up until it cancelled the call and his hyung had not answered. He called him again and there was still no answer. He let out a sigh of frustration. Tears welled up in his eyes again but he held them back, he was the maknae but he hated feeling like a child. He settled on giving it some time hoping that maybe his hyung would call back. He made it to the couch where again he let sleep get the best of him. 3.30a.m. Jeongin woke up and his head felt like someone had just hit it against the wall. As he had slept in their living room without even a blanket in his condition, it had worsened. He felt so cold and yet his forehead dripped with sweat. His whole body was shaking. He reached for his phone, his hyung needed to pick up this time. The phone rang loudly, the sound echoed through the empty dorms but Jeongin was to dizzy to be bothered. It's when it stopped ringing and there was no voice talking back to him that he finally gave in to the tears. He called Changbin hyung and the moment the phone stopped ringing without an answer he made up his mind, he was calling Chan hyung. There was no point in calling his other hyungs only to get the same result. Chan picked up on the second ring, it felt nice to finally hear a hyung's voice. "Ung I.N-ah," Chan spoke with so much fondness, "Why are we awake?" "Hyung.." the maknae was crying on the other side of the phone. Chan's heart immediately skipped a beat the moment he heard, worst case scenarios already coming to mind. "What happened I.N what's wrong?" Chan asked but he was already half way out the door from his studio. "Hyung," Jeongin wiped his tears, " Hyung don't freak out. I am just not feeling well." Chan had already turned the key to lock his studio. " Oh okay. Has Lee know given you medicine or are you feeling worse? If you are not getting better I don't get why he hasn't called me to go with you to the hospital yet?" " I called him but he hasn't yet answered or called back." Chan halted in his tracks, " Called? Why would you need to call him? What's going on?" Jeongin didn't reply, he wasn't sure how or even if he should. "Yang Jeongin." The fondness was gone, the worry was still there but Jeongin knew from the way the leader said his name that he better not try the man. "Hyung, I am home alone." It's the way he said it that the leader figured that it must have been a tag of war for the maknae to decide to call him. "Its okay I.N-ah" Chan reassured him, "let me pass by the pharmacy and get home as quick as possible." 3.53a.m. The front door to the dorms opened, Chan had finally arrived. Jeongin stirred yet he didn't wake up, but I wouldn't describe it as sound asleep. Chan rushed over to him immediately putting a hand on his forehead to check if the fever was back. It was, and by the looks of it, worse than before. Against his better judgement, Chan really hoped that could reduce his fever at home. "I.N-ah" Chan shook him slightly, hoping that his voice didn't sound as scared as he felt, "I.N-ah hyung is here okay?" Chan dashed over to the kitchen to get a glass of water so Jeongin could swallow the fever reducers and pain killers. "I.N-ah," He shook him again gently, "here you need to swallow this. It will help you feel better." Jeongin barely opened his eyes, but nonetheless he smiled cause he knew that now his hyung was there with him. Whatever they gave him he swallowed without complaint. Chan knew he had to move him back to his bed, it was too cold tonight and so far he was sure that it had attributed to his fever getting worse since the boy wasn't covered and was shivering. He braced himself, since there was not another soul in the dorms except them two, he had to do it alone. Chan managed to get Jeongin on his back and carried him to his bed where he covered him in a blanket or two. His fever was still high so he knew he had to nurse him through the few remaining hours of the morning. With a large bowl of luke warm water and a small face towel, Chan continuously dabbed the boy's forehead, face, neck and chest hoping to bring down his fever faster. Not once did it crossed his mind to worry about the other members, he hoped that the least Lee know could do was look after them and be responsible for them. If you ate wondering if he was mad, you can bet every last dime that he was, he was just waiting for them to appear. However it wasn't time for that right now, he had to focus all his attention on his maknae who lay infront of him suffering. 4.47a.m. Chan finally caught a break, Jeongin's fever seemed to finally be coming down a bit. He was less restless now, he slept more soundly which was a good sign. He thought it was the perfect time to find out what the hell his members were doing out at this time of the morning. He searched till he found his phone in the bag he had discarded by the door when he had first walked in. He called Lee know. Lee know did not pick up. He wasn't sure if he should he worried or his dongsaeng was simply ignoring the phone call. He moved on, calling each of them one by one until someone finally picked their phone. - Felix froze as he looked at his phone buzzing in his hand. Chan hyung was calling. Chan hyung was calling his phone. He couldn't not answer. " Hello hyung." He tried to sound like nothing was wrong. " Hyung. Hello." Chan was quiet on the other side of the phone. More like he couldn't say a word. It had just hit him how angry he was and he wasn't prepared. Something about hearing Felix's voice riled him up. Felix was sure there was someone on the other side of the phone, he could hear his hyung breathing. He didn't know what to answer but he knew he couldn't hang up so he sat there with his phone glued to his ear. Some of the others must have noticed his panic as they gathered around him, they weren't doing much anyway, it didn't even make much sense that they were still there. All their friends had exited way earlier at their own opportune times and honestly it had started to become dull plus they were tired. "Gather yourselves and come back now." Then he hang up. Hyunjin ran to find Lee know and tell him that they had to go. They checked their phones and all except Felix who answered and Seungmin who they didn't get to had a single missed call from Chan. They understood, that they were fucked. No. It's nothing like that. There is nothing like once in a while or every so often. Not since their rebellious predebut years where the leader had been tough as nails, and they weren't exactly the most manageable bunch either, not since then had he once ever laid a hand on them to punish them. Had he threatened, yes, a number of times. He was all bark with no bite, but they knew how bad the bite was, they had had a taste of it before. The fear that had been built from prdebut Chan had mostly kept them on the right path. All physical discipline, if ever the need arose was handled by Lee know, and he did it well. Something about this told them that that Chan might just make an appearance today. 6.00a.m. It had taken an hour for the boys to return their dorm. They were at the door. Earlier, Chan had been outside in the cold air to pick a switch. He stood in the kitchen, a glass of water to his lips as they all entered, stood at the entrance and closed the door behind them. No one moved, they didn't dare as the leader downed the last of the water. Lee know stood at the front ready to take full responsibility and Chan was prepared to make sure he does just that. Leaving them at the entrance, he walked to his room and returned with a belt. That was a sight that had not been seen in a minute. "Seungnim nawa." He didn't wait to be told a third time, he had already lucked out in being the first one that day. "Hyung Mianh-" "First of all I don't want to hear it," Chan interrupted, "Second of all you are grounded. You are all grounded." He said it a little louder for the people in the back. "Understood?" " Yes hyung." And that was that. "Over." Chan instructed. Seungmin removed his jacket and put his hands on the couch, you could barely call that 'over.' SWAT Chan raised his hand back up hit to him again with everything he had. Seungmin had let out a cry, that was way harder than anything he had ever expected. SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT It was horrible to watch, they couldn't watch. Instead many of them took notice of their shoes. SWAT " Aww hyung I'm sorry." Seungmin could barely form the words. It, hurt. His knees had buckled and bent as he fought the urge to throw his hands behind. He sobbed bitterly, crying and pleading with his hyung. Chan however was ever so determined. SWAT SWAT The last two landed especially firmly on his thighs. Seungmin backed away in despair, sobbing and rubbing his back side. Chan looked at him dead in the eye as he said these words, " Go to bed and sleep. That's what you were supposed to be doing right now." You didn't have to tell him twice, he walked off immediately to his and Han's room. "Felix." Felix flinched at the mention of his name. The tone of Chan's voice could scare anyone and it scared everyone. "Nawa." Dreadfully, he took off his shoes, following in the exact steps as Seungmin before him. A lump hung in his throat as he walked over to his hyung. SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT Bet you think he laxed, what because it was Felix. I beg to differ, if there was a way of hitting him harder, he might have. The pain was nothing like he remembered from before. Felix knew pleading was not going to help, yet he pleaded anyway begging him to stop. Guess Chan kinda felt sort of betrayed by the Australian. Felix was hollering, yet still he remained ' bent over' the couch sobbing. Same treatment as Seungmin, last two on the thighs and he was sent off to bed. Felix shared a room with I.N and he entered to find the maknae face first in his pillow, awake and silently crying as Han's beating had began  in the background. They seemed to ignore each other, Felix stood next to his bed choking on sobs and vigorously rubbing his hands into his backside and the maknae couldn't bare to watch. Somehow he blamed himself for getting his hyungs in trouble. He had calmed down a bit and was changing into his pajamas just as Chan called Hyunjin's name in the background. Briefly Han passed by the door of their room an utter mess of tears. Soon enough, Hyunjin's sobbing and pleading could be heard. He had tried to be subtle with it at first, keeping it down to a whisper but that didnt last very long. Eventually, then came Changbin, the third oldest. "Drop your pants and bend over." The rapper looked at his hyung with a very pained look, pleading with him without words. The rules of the game had changed. Chan stared back at him unfazed. "You want me to say it again." "Hyung please." His voice came out soft and shaky. Chan's eyes narrowed, that wasn't a good sign. "You want to do this right now. Fine. Changbin what were you doing out this late with your dongsaengs. What could have possibly kept you out this late? Changbin the sun is up and you weren't at the dorms. Why? Because you knew I was going to be at the studio all night. Am I not supposed to be telling you these things so that you don't be so reckless? Tell me am I?" Chan was yelling at him, he couldn't help it he was mad. The whole dorm could hear everything word for word and they couldn't imagine what it was like to be him. Chan didn't mean to, Changbin couldn't help but feel embarrassed. This time when they told him to drop his pants, he didn't protest and just did what he was told letting the loose fitted jeans fall to his calves. Lee know choked back tears, there was nothing that he could do, nothing he could have done except wait for his turn. There was always a risk of getting caught, getting punished and they all knew that as they were leaving. He had resounded it to Hyunjin and the others when they had asked to come and they had assured him that they were well aware of that risk. Still, Lee know was always prepared from the start to take responsibility for them and take all the blame. However that's not how things happened. Had he gone first maybe he would have had a chance to try but Chan didn't give him that chance, not yet. Chan beat Changbin, without reservation, without malice. Lee know cried as he watched Changbin getting punished, Chan had given him four extra with the belt compared to the others. When all was said and done, he too was sent to bed. Lee know let out a hugh sigh, it had dawned on him, his turn had finally come. He patted his face dry as he removed his shoes. To his absolute horror, out came the switch. The belt had been discarded, somewhere on the floor behind him. " Lee know nawa. Lie down." Lee know walked up to his only hyung but he failed to do the next part. He wanted to protest, but at the same time he thought that maybe he deserved it. Chan saw his hesitation, but in that moment, he didnt care for it. He took hold of his hand, his jacket was already off so that made it easier. Chan spun him round and before Lee know had a grasp of what was happening, he had already hit him across his backside with the switch. Lee know tried to back off as he was taken by surprise and the burning sensation had already started to hurt, but Chan's grip held strong. "You left I.N alone in the dorms." All what Leeknow was about to say in protest vanished with that statement. The silence didn't stay. THWACK. Chan hit him again, "You left I.N ALONE in the dorms. Do you know the condition i found him in when i arrived?" Lee know remained silent, as he was supposed to. "And you didn't even have the decency THWACK(Chan was livid ) to answer his phone calls. He said he called you and you didn't even pick up." "Hyung if he had called me I would have picked up." Lee know's voice shook, betraying him as he spoke. Chan didn't bother to say much and argue with him." Open your phone." Chan commanded, letting go of his arm for the first time. Lee know wasted no time, he had to prove himself right, there was no way his phone had rung and he hadn't noticed. He opened his call logs and there it was. 3 MISSED CALLS from the maknae. He looked up at his hyung, embarrassed. "You were saying?" "Hyung I .." But now Lee know felt too bad to protest. "Do you know how sick I found I.N? He was barely conscious I am surprised he had the strength to call me. How could you do something like that Lee Know? Leaving I.N all alone? Being out with your dongsaengs doing God knows what? Returning to the dorms at this time? After the sun is already up? Do you think that was responsible? Is this what you do when I spend nights in the studio? Out galavanting through the night? Do you understand how dangerous it is to be out there at that time of the night? In Seoul? And you even had those of Han and Seungmin with you. Seriously? Well I guess at this point I just have to applaud you for not taking I.N with you. Isn't it? ... " Chan went on, and on, and on until kingdom come. Lee know sobbed listening to him, while the others lay quiet and snug in their beds as they couldn't help but listen. It felt like he was scolding all of them collectively even though it was only Lee know who stood before him. Inevitably when he finally stopped, he had his hand on the back of neck, compelling him to lie down. The whole dorm listened in silent horror as their leader punished their hyung. Ten good, definitely very hot, canes from the switch. And yes, they could all tell that it was a switch, no belt sounded like that. Lee know was also sent to bed, just like the others. He stood in middle of the room that he was fortunate enough to share with his hyung. He sobbed, he allowed himself to cry with no restraint. No matter how strenuously he rubbed into his backside it didnt seem to help at all with the pain. The door was closed but he knew they could all hear him. He was not so sure he cared. Without ceasing to cry, he changed into pajamas he had lying around and entered his bed pulling the blanket over his head. Chan after a moment to breathe, he went to check on the maknae. Poor thing had dozed off, his face was still wet with tears. He touched his forehead, thankfully the fever was going down. Using his fairly bruised hand, ironically now hot to the touch, he barely glided it over the maknae's face to dry his tears. He moved on to Felix, Jeongin's roommate doing the same thing. He placed a kiss on each of their foreheads, then moved on to the next room, doing the same exact thing. Then the next room till he ended up back in his own room. He wasn't sure if the members were actually all asleep or they were just ignoring him but either way he wished them all good night. His room, Lee know was still faintly sobbing under his blanket, he wasn't sure if his hyung could hear him, he didn't want him to know he was still awake. The leader changed out on his clothes into something more comfortable. He wasn't the pajama type. He sat at Lee know's bed and stroked his back over his blanket. Eventually, like a squirrel out of hibernation, he peeked through the blanket with red eyes. "Hyungi norang gachi jalge.( 형이 너랑 같이 잘게 )" Lee know turned back, not feeling very welcoming of his hyung at the moment. The leader didn't blame him, still he grabbed the blanket from his own bed and snuggled next to Lee know. In time, Lee know warmed up to him.
