Hongjoong was well aware that no one heard him come back in. If they had, they wouldn't be talking right now. He was disappointed, to be honest. Obviously, the six men did not realize just how serious their actions were and how severe the repercussions would be. 

"Having a nice conversation, boys?" Honjoong tried to look as stern as possible. Mingi squeaked and scurried back into position, kneeling in between San and Seongwha. 

"What was the one thing that I told you to do before I left?" Hongjoong wondered. He could see Seongwha about to answer but stopped him.

"Jongho, what did I tell you six to do before I left?" Hongjoong turned to the maknae, waiting. 

"That we were to be kneeling with our hands behind our head when you returned" Jongho answered softly.

"Yeosang, what did I say would happen if I came back to find that you didn't listen?" Hongjoong wondered. Yeosang hung his head, tears already filling his eyes. 

"Kang Yeosang! I am talking to you, and I expect an answer!" Hongjoong yelled. Yeosang burst into tears, still not lifting his head. Hongjoong was not angry, just a little bit but not enough that he didn't trust himself to remain in control of his emotions, he really just needed these guys to understand how severe their actions were and if that meant giving them a little scare, then so be it. Knowing that, he grabbed Yeosang's arm, pulling the younger to his feet. 

"Noo!" Yeosang sobbed, struggling against the leader. Hongjoong was much stronger than he looked and managed to keep Yeosang in hand.

"If I tell you to do something, I expect it to be done! Is that clear to you, Kang Yeosang!?" Hongjoong hardened his tone. Yeosang was scared; Hongjoong knew that and he was fine with that.

"Hongjoong stop! Your scaring him!" Seongwha spoke up. Yeosang covered his face with his hands, crying into them.

"Wooyoung was scared too!" Hongjoong snapped, turning to Seongwha with anger in his eyes. Everyone was caught off guard by that and they were all crying; even Jongho. Seongwha's face scrunched up but he didn't move, letting the tears roam freely.

"Wooyoung was scared and hating himself because he thought that he was the reason that you guys were so rude. No actually, you were more than rude. You were hateful towards him and for what? He messed up during practice. What happened to being understanding when we have a bad day at practice?" Hongjoong wondered, looking at each of his brothers in pain. "What happened to our brotherhood?" 

Yeosang bawled and Seongwha lowered his entire body to the floor, staying there as his shoulders shook with suppressed sobs. The others were no better. San was furiously wiping away his tears and Jongho was still trying his best to not cry while Mingi was zoned out, staring at the wall opposite him while tears dripped down his face. Yunho had his face buried in his hands while he cried. Hongjoong had known those words would resonate with them and he was right. His words hit a nerve with all of them.

Hongjoong took a moment to study all of them, not feeling a single ounce of remorse for their current state. They had brought this upon themselves. 

"I don't even know where to start with you guys. I never would have expected this...from any of us. I know tempers get high and we get annoyed with each other but to bully a member for over a month, to break down their confidence? It's inhumane and not something that I will ever allow on my team" Hongjoong didn't mean that the way it sounded and he winced at how sharp his words were.

"Hyung! You can't mean that" San sobbed, looking at Hongjoong with betrayal shining in his eyes. Hongjoong, unfortunately, did mean that. He would never break up their team but something had to be done and he didn't think that a simple spanking, no matter how harsh, was going to fix it this time. 

"Here is what I want to happen. We are going to take care of this here and now. When it is done, you are all going home and you will spend the day in your rooms without talking to each other. I am trusting you to obey me on this but if you don't and I find out, you'll get a second spanking. Your phones stay in the living room and I do not want you getting on your computers or anything. Unless it is an emergency, none of you should touch anything electronic. Wooyoung and I will be home tonight and when we do get home, I want each of you in bed already. Seongwha, your moving into Yeosang and Jongho's room. I don't think Wooyoung would be comfortable sharing a room with any of you so he'll stay with me for the time being" Hongjoong paused, taking a breath. Seongwha was crying again but everyone else had mostly stopped or slowed down and were trying to be quiet. They were all staring at him with wide eyes, fearful of what he would say next. 

"I am signing Wooyoung up for therapy. Same for all of you. I refuse to believe that what happened in the past month is not for some underlying reason. The therapy is non-negotiable. Like I said before, if you refuse or I find out you are skipping, that means a spanking. I am done being the soft leader. Obviously that didn't work so now, nothing is going unpunished. Is that clear?" Hongjoong crossed his arms, looking down at the six boys before him. 

"Yes, its clear" All of them nodded, deciding it was better not to argue. Now came the harder part, Hongjoong wasn't sure if he could do it but every time he thought about what had happened, he was filled with rage and he knew there was no backing out. This was going to happen and it was up to him to see it done. Even if it broke his heart and tore him apart in the process. They deserved it for what they did to Wooyoung. 

"Mingi, you first. The rest of you stay here" Hongjoong decided, taking the gentle giant by the hand when he was standing, still crying. Hongjoong led him out of the room, giving the other five a stern look to obey him but he knew they would. Now his focus was on Mingi. He would get to the others later.
