He was mad. Very mad.

Jimin is supposed to be with him; feeding him, taking care of him, cuddling him- not Junghwa.

That little rascal. Imp. Scallywag. That...that monkey!

As childish as it sounds, Joon did not care that he just had a brawl with the kid an hour ago, although he was later scolded and sent to his room.

It was not his fault, no matter how much he tried to convince Jimin that he didn't start it, but Jimin thought that being bratty and rude was bad enough and sent him off with five spanks and a 15-minute time out, while he took care of a crying Junghwa.

Joon sat gloomily in the corner, Milk and Buddy with him on his lap. He traced the few scratches he received from the boy when he refused to give up the doll, Buddy's ear hanging halfway as it revealed its cotton. He shuffled a bit at the uncomfortable pain on his bottom from the spanks he received a while ago.

He had cried for it for a good ten minutes. Now he was just mourning at the pain his friend might be experiencing now.

He could sow it, but he was not well experienced with a needle and thread, so he opted using a safety pin, which had stabbed his finger enough times to make it bleed a red dot. It was worth it though, in the end. Buddy was now okay. He just had to be careful to not touch its ears or it will hurt.

It was nearing dinner time when the timer went off, and he was met with Jimin walking into the room with quiet footsteps.

He snivelled and got up, carefully holding Milk and Buddy. Jimin guided him to his bed and both sat on it, ready to have their discussion.

"So, tell me what happened."

And Joon told. About how he wanted to take some rest in his room after a hectic day. About how he found Junghwa snooping through his things, messing his whole room. About how the boy declared that the dog toy was his as he was the one who "found" it. About how he grew defensive of the dog. And how the young kid began picking on him and both tugging the doll for themselves.

Jimin sighed heavily and took the doll, when he noticed the shiny safety pin by the ear.

"Don't touch! Buddy got hurt and I tweated it."

Jimin's heart clench at the scared tone in his voice. "Don't worry. Leave him to daddy. I'll fix him so he can get his ear back."

"Like an opewation?" Jimin nodded.

Joon was quiet for a moment. "Will it hurt him?" he whispered out and the caregiver smiled softly.

"Don't worry. I'll make sure it doesn't hurt."

The little went quiet again before nodding solemnly. Jimin placed the doll next to him and held Joon's hand.

"Listen. I know you love your dolls so much. And yes Junghwa made a mistake and now he is having his punishment. You also made a few mistakes, that's why I punished you as well."

Joon nodded, somewhat satisfied that the busybody kid was punished.

"Do you know what mistakes you have done?"

"I...screamed at him."

"Yes...?"

"I hurt him..."

"By?"

"By throwing things a-at hi-him..."

"Mhm... go on. . ."

"I also s-said... bad words..."

"Which you were...?"

"Not supposed to use..."

"That's right. You have broken so many rules. You're lucky I'm giving you a timeout and five spanks since you didn't start this mess." He squeezed his hands reassuringly. "But I hope you have learned your lesson, and not do this to a boy smaller than you, yeah?"

Joon nodded, a sad pout etched on his face. "A-Am I a b-bad boy?" he looked up with tears in his eyes. He has gotten a bigger punishment this time. Normally he would just have to clean up his messes or time-out, but never spanks. The last thing he wanted to be was a naughty boy, who made his daddy mad until his daddy will not love him any-

"No baby." It was still amazing at how Jimin was able to sense his distress and read his thoughts. "You're not a bad boy. Yeah you have made mistakes, but you took your punishment well, and I'm proud of you." With that, Joon sent him shy smile.

"So, I shall go and fix Buddy, while you stay here and maybe colour something or play. I brought you some dinner and gummy bears, as a small reward for doing the punishment well."

Joon immediately brightened up at that and skipped to his table while Jimin left the room. He wasn't too deep into headspace now, but colouring seemed like a pretty good idea to take his mind of the fiasco earlier. And as he arranged his colouring equipment, he squeaked at the small packet of gummy bears on the tray.

A few minutes of colouring and an empty bowl which was filled with chicken nuggets before, Joon was too tired to do anything else and he decided to lie down. He quickly packed up his book and colour pencils, leaving them there to attend to them tomorrow while he changed into a more comfortable wear and jumped into bed.

He didn't even need any warm milk as he felt himself slipping away, when the door knocked. He quickly sat up, a little excited that it would be his daddy with Buddy in his hands. He got up and shuffled to the door and opened, only to be met with not only Jimin and Buddy, but Junghwa as well.

"Joonie. Junghwa here has something to say to you." Jimin said and nudged the smaller, who looked down in embarrassment before looking up.

"I- I'm sorry! I din mean to- mean to smoop around and take your things! I just wanted to play with the cute doll!" the boy babbled, mispronouncing 'snoop' and Jimin held back a laugh at the mistake.

Joon moved back a bit to hide behind the door, clearly not expecting the sudden apology thrown at him, but nevertheless nodded and whispered, 'I forgive you'. And with the look from Jimin, he muttered out a small apology as well.

At that the kid smiled and ran off into Jimin's room. Once the kid disappeared behind the doors, Joon and Jimin turned to look at each other, then smiling and sharing a small kiss.

"Here-" he said, and held out Buddy, this time its ear sewed neatly and beautifully.

Joon gasped. "Buddy!" he turned the doll, front and back to check the wonderful touch up done by Jimin. "Daddy! Thank you!" he said, and smacked a huge, wet kiss on his cheek, making the caregiver laugh and kiss him back.

"You're welcome baby."
