"I need something that pays well... and quickly." Yoongi murmurs to himself as he holds on to his bills.
Suddenly, on the screen of his computer, the job listing for a "Spanking Partner" comes into focus, especially the high salary amount.
"This...

"..Thank you," Yoongi responded softly, "For understanding, for being patient with me.."
Jin tightened his embrace just a fraction, "That's alright." After a few seconds of silence, "Yoongi-yah," he began, his voice gentle, "I don't know completely know what you're going through, but I'd like to understand." He passed with a soft exhale.
"..Just how tough has it been for you?"
Yoongi hesitated, the lump in his throat growing. Opening up, being vulnerable, especially after everything that happened in that room, felt daunting. But Jin's sincere gaze encouraged him.
"It's been... overwhelming," he began, his voice barely a whisper. "Every day feels like a struggle. Balancing studies, trying to pursue my passion for music, and the constant weight of financial stress... it feels likeI'm drowning.."
Jin's fingers continued their soothing motion, offering silent support.
"Some days..," Yoongi continued, "I feel trapped, like there's no way out.. that's why I took this... arrangement..."
Jin's eyes softened, filled with empathy. "I can't pretend to fully understand your journey, Yoongi. But I want you to know, you're incredibly brave for facing everything head-on, even if the choices are tough."
Yoongi looked up, his eyes glistening with unshed tears. "Thank you.. It means a lot to hear that.."
Jin's eyes met Yoongi's as he tried to lighten up the mood, "Well, have you ever been spanked before this? I mean, outside of such... arrangements?"
Yoongi gave a light smile, a memory flashing across his eyes. "..Well, yes, but not like this. When I was younger, my father... he had this old-fashioned belief about discipline. If I ever brought home grades that weren't up to his expectations, he'd spank me."
Jin raised an eyebrow, prompting him to continue. "It wasn't abusive," Yoongi clarified, "Just a few smacks with his hand. But I have hated it. He had this particular look he'd give me, and I'd know I was in for it."
Chuckling, he continued, "Once, I tried cushioning my back with some extra clothing, hoping it'd soften the blows. But he caught on quickly and just laughed while removing the extra padding. Said if I put half as much effort into my studies as my schemes, I'd be top of the class."
Jin couldn't help but laugh, picturing a young, mischievous Yoongi trying to outsmart his father. "Sounds like you were quite the handful."
Yoongi laughed along, "I had my moments. But those spankings, they were more about love than actual punishment. My father wanted the best for me."
Jin nodded, his chuckles subsiding, "It's interesting how past experiences shape our perceptions. But remember, Yoongi, every experience, pleasant or painful, contributes to the person we become."
