Sion motioned for Riku to follow him outside, but the younger kid hesitated, looking at Jeno and Jaemin, who were in charge of making sure that all the boys got their homework for the day finished. Once he was sure that they were pretty occupied, Ryo and Sakuya both were refusing to sit down long enough to finish their work and Riku had noticed Jaehee and Yushi throwing paper balls at each other at least every ten seconds, Riku got up and followed his youngest hyung out to the backyard. Jisung and Chenle both were already out there, sitting by the pool and just talking. Sion left Riku standing by the trampoline and ran over to them.
"Hey, Jisung-hyung! Can you help us move the trampoline?" Sion crouched down beside Jisung and Chenle.
"Sure. I'll be right back Lele" Jisung got up, following Sion over to the trampoline and moving it. He checked to make sure that the boys were okay before going back to Chenle and sitting down.
"Don't you think that you should ask why they want it moved?" Chenle pointed out. Jisung looked back over his shoulder at Sion and Riku before shaking his head.
"No, they're good kids. I trust them" Jisung answered. Chenle didn't agree but he wasn't the one that the boys came to for help so he was going to let it be.
"Whatever. I'm going inside before they do something stupid and we both get lectured for not watching them" Chenle stood up, running off to go play games inside. Jisung watched him go, convinced that Chenle was just being dramatic and nothing bad was going to happen.
Until he saw Sion and Riku both climbing up to the roof of the shed and then he couldn't stand up fast enough. Literally. By the time Jisung got over to them, both boys had landed on the trampoline and Jisung heard a horrifying pop.
"Are you two okay?!" Jisung pulled them both off the trampoline. At the same time, the door leading to the house opened and Jeno and Jaemin came rushing out.
"What happened?" Jaemin looked Riku over, noticing the way that he was holding his arm.
"Uhh.." Sion and Riku looked at each other, not sure how to respond.
"I'll tell you what happened. These two decided it was a good idea to jump off the shed and onto the trampoline! What were you two thinking?! You could have been hurt!" Jisung got down to the boys' height so he could look them both in the eye.
"And why were you not watching them!?" Jeno wondered, crossing his arms.
"I was! That's why I ran over here as soon as I could but I wasn't fast enough. Neither were you apparently" Jisung argued. Jeno wasn't at all happy about that but he didn't get a chance to scold Jisung for his attitude. Mark came outside, noticing the strange gathering. The very first thing he noticed was the bruise on Riku's arm.
"I don't even want to know. Everybody inside and let's get that arm taken care of, okay?" Mark put an arm around Riku and walked him inside.
"Go sit down. Sion, table. Now" Mark pointed to the dining table. Sion rolled his eyes dramatically and sat down with more sass than he needed to. Jisung tried to leave before he got caught but Renjun walked in at that point and stopped him, sensing that something was wrong.
"Jisung, you too. I don't know what part you had in this but I'm willing to guess it was something" Mark pointed to the chair beside Sion.
"Why do you always assume I did something!? Just because I was outside doesn't mean anything! Chenle was outside too, why don't you interrogate him?" Jisung huffed, folding his arms.
"We're asking you because you don't use your head. Now sit down like you were told" Renjun stopped Jisung mid-complaint.
"I'm not one of the kids! You can't treat me like this" Jisung argued, turning now to Renjun. Mark cut in, getting more and more frustrated.
"Your sixteen, a minor and therefore a child. Now if I have to tell you to sit down again, you'll be doing so with a warm butt. Is that clear?" Mark waited. Jisung rolled his eyes but finally sat down, giving Mark and Renjun the chance to start in on the lecture. Jeno piped in once in a while but he was more than okay with leaving the discipline part to his hyungs.
"How did you boys get the trampoline over to the shed?" Renjun wondered. That was the only thing that he couldn't figure out. The trampoline was heavy; an eleven-and-ten-year-old would not have been able to move it alone. Nobody answered him until Chenle walked in, got a cup of water and stood beside Jisung with an arm around him. Jisung rolled his eyes but made no move to push his brother away.
"I asked a question, and I don't like repeating myself more than once. How did you boys get the trampoline over to the shed?" Renjun looked at each of the three boys. He had a pretty good idea how that happened, but he wanted Jisung to come clean about it.
"Ji?" Chenle nudged his brother, waiting. Jisung glared at him but Chenle wasn't going to let Sion or Riku take this fall alone.
"It was Jisung. He should have asked what they wanted it moved for but he didn't. He moved it without investigating" Chenle turned to Mark and Renjun. Jisung clenched his fist and punched Chenle in the arm so hard that the older boy fell off the bench he had taken a seat on beside Jisung.
"Park Jisung!" Mark was shocked, grabbing Jisung by the arm and pulling him to stand.
Spank! Spank! Spank! Spank! Spank!
"You do not hit your brother!" Mark scolded.
"You just hit me!" Jisung screeched in retaliation, trying to get away. Renjun caught him next and put in his own two cents by smacking Jisung twice.
"Go to your room. One of us will talk to you soon" Renjun ordered. Jisung didn't roll his eyes this time, but he wanted to and walked away. Renjun met Jeno's eye and motioned to the stairs where Jisung had disappeared. Jeno nodded and left.
"Chenle, give us a moment" Mark didn't look at the second youngest teen. Chenle couldn't get out of there fast enough, going to find Jaemin and Haechan to probably do something they shouldn't.
"And you two, your lucky that you didn't get badly hurt. I am very disappointed in both of you. I thought you knew better" Mark finally turned his attention to Sion and Riku. Both of them avoided looking at him, finding the floor to be much more interesting at the moment.
"Boys, when your hyungs are talking to you, it is rude to stare at the floor" Renjun lectured. Mark gave him a sharp look to be quiet and stay out of it. This was not Renjun's problem. The younger man backed off, but didn't leave the room.
"You know that I have to punish you boys, right?" Mark checked. He never did anything without first making sure that the boys understood why. That was one rule he implemented for all the hyungs in the house. Anyone who didn't follow that risked implementing their own conversation with Mark.
"Yes hyung" Sion nodded, squeezing Riku's hand as comfort. Mark motioned him forward first, turning Sion to the side.
Spank! Spank! Spank! Spank! Spank! Spank!
"You are Riku's hyung, you are supposed to be protecting him and the others, not leading them into trouble" Mark scolded, finishing up with the last five smacks. Sion was barely crying but he was teary-eyed, which he fixed quickly. Renjun had taken it upon himself to deal with Riku, saving Mark the trouble.
"You two are grounded from playing outside for the rest of the week" Mark added once both boys were back to standing in front of him.
"But-, yes hyung" Sion sighed, giving in. There was no point in arguing. Riku followed his example and kept quiet. Mark sent them both to their room and went to check on Jisung, satisfied after he did that Jeno had the Dream maknae taken care of. Mark went back downstairs, realizing something.
"Where are the other boys-?" He wondered.
CRASH!
