When Taeyong's Away: Day 4

"You're grounded, young man."

"What!? Hyung, comon, it's not that serious. I was going to go to the skatepark tomorrow!"

"Mark, 3 of your teachers have contacted me in one day informing me you are failing their classes and have not been turning in your homework. I think that is a perfectly good reason for you to be grounded. The skatepark will have to wait."

Mark just stares at Taeyong and mutters, "I think it's rude they contacted you when you are on tour."

"Mark, it doesn't matter if I am on tour or not. They will contact me about any concerns."

"Oh, you heard that..well, I still don't think it's fair to ground me when you aren't even here to enforce it."

"Are you telling me you are going to break your grounding because I'm not there?" Taeyong says, raising his eyebrow at the disrespect he is hearing. "Because if you are, I can tell Kun to paddle your butt now and get it over with. Does that need to happen?"

"No hyung, that isn't necessary. I won't break my grounding. How long am I grounded for?"

"I think until I get back in 3 days."

Sighing Mark agrees.

"Alright, get Kun and Ten back in here so I can talk to them."

Once Mark gets back from grabbing Kun and Ten, the three of them sit on the couch facing the laptop.

"So I've grounded Mark for the next 3 days. He is not to have his phone and is only to have his laptop for homework, which needs to be done at the kitchen table from now on until we know we can trust him to actually do it. No video games or tv, either."

"Got it. Don't worry about a thing. We'll take care of it." Kun says, putting an arm around Mark and giving it a light squeeze in comfort.

"Alright, I have to go now, behave, Mark."

"Yes, hyung."

"Love you."

"Love you too."

"WAIT! HYUNGIE WAIT!" Jisung shouts, running and jumping onto Ten's lap.

"Park-Lee Jisung, were you eavesdropping?" Taeyong asks firmly.

"Uhh, n-no." Jisung says, trying to slide off Ten's lap and go sit with Mark, away from any potential harm to his butt.

"Jisung, what were you supposed to be doing?" Ten says firmly, not letting Jisung go that easily.

"Uh, taking my bath." Jisung says, taking a peek at Taeyong on the screen and then quickly looking down once seeing the look of disaproval on his hyung's face.

"Jisung, what have I said about eavesdropping on conversations?" Taeyong asks the boy who seems to be regretting his decisions.

"Um, that it's rude, and if it were meant for me to be a part of, I would be. But, I wanted to say goodnight and and the conversation was interesting." Jisung replies, pouting.

"Yes, and if you had asked your hyungs to let you know when you can come and say goodnight instead of listening to your brother being scolded, you would not be in trouble. You know better than that young man." Taeyong says sternly before giving Ten a look to deal with it.

Ten nods his head in acknowledgment before standing Jisung up and smacking his backside 3 times.

"Hyungggg!"

"Don't give us that, Jisung, you knew what you were doing wrong. That is a warning, young man. Ten and Kun both know the consequences to dole out if they catch you eavesdropping again. Understand?"
