Little Dreamies

Bad habits

Taeyong had stepped out for only a minute. Okay, so it was actually a couple minutes but apparently that was enough time for chaos to erupt.

"What is going on?" Taeyong looked around suspiciously. Mark and Jeno were fighting over the phone and Chenle and Jisung looked really panicked, like they were holding some big secret that was going to change everyone's lives. Taeyong would find out later that's exactly what they were doing.

"Hyung, you have to promise not to be mad" Mark wrangled the phone away from Jeno, ignoring the glare he got for that.

"Okay. What happened?" Taeyong crossed his arms, waiting for an explanation. Mark and Jeno looked at each other again.

"It's about Renjun" The way Mark said that sent chills down Taeyong's spine. He didn't like jumping to conclusions but already he knew that something bad had happened.

"What about Renjun?" Taeyong's voice was strained. Mark looked more nervous now, as if he regretted saying anything. He knew that he didn't have much of a choice but he still felt bad for his brothers.

"Well...it's not just Renjun. Channie and Minnie are with him. And umm...they kind of, sort of....well..." Mark put the phone back where it has been and started fidgeting. Taeyong took the kid's hands in his, giving Mark no other distraction.

"They were out walking and Renjun got into a fight and he got arrested! So now you have to go get them because your an adult and they won't release Renjun to anyone else!" Mark explained in a hurry. Taeyong was going to wring the kid's neck for getting arrested.

"Watch the kids" Taeyong grabbed his phone and keys and walked out without another word. He briefly heard Mark tell him to not get angry but he didn't listen; he was already angry.

"I'm here for Huang Renjun, Lee Donghyuck and Na Jaemin" Taeyong kept his voice clipped and short, not showing any emotion. Even so, the three boys could tell he was barely controlling his anger. That was not going to be good for them at all.

They kept their distance when the officer let them out of the cell. Taeyong could see what they were doing and he tried to calm down a little. He didn't want to scare them.

Actually that's a lie, he wouldn't mind if they were just a little scared. They got arrested!

"I can explain" Renjun still kept his distance but he figured trying to explain wouldn't hurt. He was wrong.

"I don't want to hear it. I'm too angry right now" Taeyong led the way back outside, roughly grabbing Jaemin and Haechan's hands since they were most likely to try and run. He gave Renjun a hard look, warning the kid that if he tried to run, it would not be pleasant when Taeyong caught him.

"Please, Taeyong-hyung. Just let me explain" Renjun pleaded, obviously not able to take a hint. Taeyong let go of Jaemin and Haechan, turning Renjun to one side.

"I said I don't want to hear it! Now we are going to keep walking and you are not going to say a single word. Is that clear?" Taeyong's eyes were dark. Renjun nodded, more embarrassed at being swatted like a child in the middle of the street than anything else. Taeyong accepted that answer, took the boys' hands again and started walking, keeping Renjun in his line of sight the entire time.

"You two go to your rooms. Your grounded" Taeyong unlocked the door to the dorms and let the three boys in.

"Yes hyung" Jaemin and Haechan quickly ran off to their room together, not wanting to be present when Taeyong started yelling at Renjun.
