"Yes sir I understand. Don't worry, manager-nim. I will take care of it" Hongjoong promised, hanging up his phone and slipping it back into his pocket. He was standing outside the dorm, in the hallway so he could have a private conversation with Ateez's newest manager. The man was supposed to be with the group for a long time but it was still being decided. The whole staff was still being decided since Ateez had just recently debuted and things were still being worked through. Feeling like he was finally calm enough, Hongjoong went back inside and rejoined his members at the table. Instead of sitting down though, he went over to Wooyoung, grabbing the younger by the ear and whispering something to him. Once Hongjoong stood back up, Wooyoung quickly excused himself and went upstairs.
"What was that about?" Seongwha was alarmed. He had never seen Wooyoung behave so...politely before. It was very worrying. Yeosang and Mingi looked at each other, having a good idea of what was going to happen to their friend.
"It seems our dear Wooyoung has been seen outside of the dorm late at night, at bars, on the streets, in parks. He's been sneaking out for weeks" Hongjoong answered, rubbing a hand over his face. He needed another minute to calm down before going to Wooyoung.
"I'm going to go talk to him. Keep eating, we'll be done soon. And someone put a pillow on Wooyoung's chair! He'll need it" Hongjoong went upstairs to his and Seongwha's room. The second maknae was sitting on Seongwha's bed, hands folded neatly in his lap. He was the picture of innocence but Hongjoong didn't fall for it.
"I am very disappointed in you Jung Wooyoung" Hongjoong crossed his arms, standing in front of the younger man. Wooyoung's face fell and he looked at the ground. He was aware that it had been wrong to sneak out and do everything he had been for weeks but the way he saw it, this was one of his last chances to be free. Before popularity picked up and everyone was watching them.
"I know. I just wanted to feel free one last time. You and I both know what happens once people start noticing us. Our fans, staff, CEO, managers, even other groups, are going to be watching our every move. I just wanted to feel that last moment of freedom before it all ends" Wooyoung knew that Hongjoong would let him explain. The leader always did.
"I get it. Sometimes I wonder if I'm making the right choice too but we chose this. You do not get to have it both ways, young man. Either give up every ounce of freedom and privacy you have and become an idol or turn in your resignation and go home" Hongjoong didn't mean for that to sound as harsh as it did. He was right though. Wooyoung couldn't have it both ways. He had to make a choice and soon.
"But until you make that decision, I am your hyung and your leader and you need to follow the rules. It is my job to make sure that you do. Which is why your getting a spanking from me" Hongjoong announced, watching Wooyoung for his reaction. Wooyoung tensed a little, clamming up. His fists were clenched but he didn't look at Hongjoong. Somehow, he had known this was going to happen yet hearing it out loud was the real shock.
"I'm really sorry! Please don't do this" Wooyoung yelped when Hongjoong grabbed his hand, using it against the younger.
"Pleading will do you no good. I have made up my mind so don't even try" Hongjoong tipped Wooyoung over his knee and then stopped. He had done this before but still Hongjoong could not believe that he was actually about to hurt one of his friends. It was company rules but that didn't mean that it was easy. Hognjoong would have given anything if he could just let all his members off with a slap on the wrist and a warning but no. He had to be the leader. This was his job. With that thought in mind, he raised his hand and flexed it, pretending to swat at a fly.
SMACK
Wooyoung jumped, not expecting that. Surprisingly, it didn't hurt as much as Wooyoung thought it would. If this was the best Hongjoong could do, then the second youngest knew he would get through this with no problem at all.
