"I-I dunno, Taetae. I don't think Daddy would want me to." Jimin crossed his arms and rocked nervously on his nails.

"Come on, J-Jiminie! P-Pleaasseee!" Taehyung begged, jumping up and down. "I'm not s-supposed to either! H-How bad c-could it be?"

Jimin thought for a minute. Taehyung took that as a yes and grabbed Jimin's hand. Jimin let the younger guide him to the living room. Taehyung sat Jimin down on the couch and turned on the scariest, goriest movie available.

Taehyung and Jimin cuddled each other on the couch, crying and shaking. Neither of them had the courage to look at the television to even turn it off. The screams and horrible sounds from the movie kept piercing their ears and making them cry harder.

Jungkook was carrying pizzas for them, and, upon entering the room, Jungkook ran over and put the plates down. He quickly blocked the television until he could turn it off completely.

"What the hell, guys?!" Jungkook yelled.

The two littles flinched and continued sobbing. Jungkook softened and walked over, kneeling in front of the couch. He took one of each of their hands and kissed their knuckles.

"It's okay. Hey. It was just a movie. It's okay."

Taehyung flung himself into Jungkook's arms. Jungkook sighed and rubbed his back as Taehyung sniffled into his shirt.

At that moment, Yoongi walked into the apartment. Only five steps inside and he had an armful of sobbing Jimin.

"Whoa, baby. Sweetie, what's wrong?" Yoongi pulled Jimin away from him and held his cheeks.

"D-Daddy, s-scared. H-hold me." Jimin hugged Yoongi again, tightly.

"Okay, okay. Shh," Yoongi said, brushing the hair on the back of his head. Yoongi looked over at Taehyung and Jungkook, seeing them in a similar position. "What happened?"

Taehyung leaned back from Jungkook. "I-I'm sorry, U-Uncle Yoon! I j-just wanted to watch a m-movie!"

Yoongi looked down at Jimin. "You watched a horror movie?"

Jimin nodded sadly. He looked beyond guilty as he clung to him. "S-Sorry, Daddy."

Yoongi nodded over at Jungkook and picked Jimin up easily, letting him hide his face in Yoongi's neck. He exited Jungkook and Taehyung's apartment, carrying Jimin all the way to the car.

Jimin sat on the couch, twiddling his thumbs and looking at his lap. Yoongi sat down on the chair next to the couch. He kept his arms crossed and bounced his foot as he watched him.

"Jiminie?" he asked calmly.

Jimin kept his gaze down, not wanting to look at Yoongi's disappointed face.

"Jimin-ah," Yoongi snapped.

Jimin looked at Yoongi immediately. He shrunk under Yoongi's gaze, wanting to hide. His shoulders folded in and his toes curled nervously.

"What did you do wrong?"

"I-I watched a b-bad movie and I wasn't supposed to." Jimin sniffled. "I broke a rule."

Yoongi nodded. "What happens when you break a rule?"

Jimin gulped. "I get punished."

"Yes, baby. I'm so sorry." He smiled sadly. "You have to learn somehow."

"Maybe I'll learn from a good talk with Daddy?" Jimin looked up with hopeful eyes.

Yoongi shook his head. "Nuh-uh."

Jimin's face dropped. "Then what, Daddy? I promise I'll do anything. I'm good, I swear. I've learned," Jimin pleaded. He bit his lip and nodded quickly.

Yoongi thought for a minute. "No TV for a week."

Jimin continued nodding with more fervor. "Is that it, Daddy? I can do that."

Yoongi shook his head slightly. He reached up as if he was rubbing the nape of Jimin's neck. Instead, he unclasped Jimin's collar.

"Daddy, no!"

Yoongi took the collar away and held it in his hands. "I'm sorry, my love. Just for a little while. You've broken this rule too many times. At least twice in the last month."

"B-But, Daddy! Daddy, it had nothing to do with my collar!" Jimin whined.

Yoongi sighed again. "Yes, but you haven't learned the other times I punished you for the same thing. I'm sorry, baby boy. I needed a worse punishment. The movies give you nightmares for days and just worsen your trauma, baby. You know this."

Jimin's eyes filled with tears and he nodded. "I understand, Daddy. I won't break it again."

Yoongi kissed his forehead.

"Can I cuddle Daddy? I'm sad and sorry."

Yoongi chuckled a bit. "Yes, prince. Come here." He opened his arms, letting the younger settle comfortably into them.

Yoongi snuck up on Jimin, who was laying on the couch, looking at his phone. Yoongi carefully slipped the collar back around Jimin's neck, smiling at his little gasp. Yoongi clasped it and took Jimin's phone, placing it on the table. He flipped Jimin over to look at him and used his body to pin the younger to the couch. Jimin stared back at him, eyes wide.

"Baby boy?" Yoongi muttered, staring at the younger's lips.

Jimin shook his head slowly. Yoongi smirked as he lowered his face, fully catching Jimin's lips in his. Jimin followed his lead, fighting for dominance in the kiss. Yoongi tilted Jimin's head and pulled on his hair. Jimin mewled and gave up, letting Yoongi take control.
