Domesticated (A Yoonmin AU)

Chapter 38

"Welcome to our humble abode, Yoongi hyung!", Namjoon greeted Yoongi with a flourish as the latter stepped into their home. Yoongi snorted. There is nothing humble about the Kim's residence. It's a mini mansion for fudge's sake! It's a 5 bedroom two-story house with a pool and hot tub, personal cinema, gym, and a detached home studio that is currently undergoing expansion. The live-in staff outnumber the masters of the house. So when you really think about it, it's quite ironic how Namjoon is bothered by Hoseok's extravagance considering their lavish lifestyle. It's the principle of the thing, Yoongi supposes.

"Thanks, Joon.", the older said as his gaze landed on the drink his friend is holding. He raised his eyebrow.

"Still that bad? Hoseok's still throwing a fit?"

Namjoon took a swig of his whiskey before answering his hyung. They walked down the hallway and proceeded to the living room where a mini bar is tucked in a corner. Yoongi sat down on one of the bar stools while Namjoon fixed him a drink.

"Oh, it's worse. He actually called my mom and told on me. My mom called me and basically ripped me to shreds. She asked why was I giving Hobi a hard time. That isn't the point of having money is to spend it? She said I should be spoiling Hobi for being such a great husband instead of punishing him.", Namjoon complained while Yoongi chuckled.

"And what about your dad? What is his say in the situation?"

"He said he understands what I am trying to accomplish but thinks that I'm just creating unnecessary drama. That I should just let Hobi be since he's pretty sure that Hobi's shopping won't cause us to go bankcrupt. But hyung! You should see all the stuff that Hobi accumulated in the past months. Just months, hyung. Not even a year. We can build a shopping mall from all of his purchases!", the younger CEO exclaimed flailing his arms for emphasis.

Yoongi rolled his eyes at his friends theatrics.

"I'm sure that's an exaggeration, Joon."

"No, hyung, it's really not. If it's just a couple of million won a month then I wouldn't be making a huge deal out of this. But really, I honestly think my husband needs professional help. He has a shopping addiction.", Namjoon said as he shook his head. He doesn't understand why people aren't taking his concerns seriously. Yoongi meanwhile tsked and thought it must be the alcohol talking. Hobi's own mall? Namjoon can't be serious.

"Anyway, hyung. They're in one of the guest rooms. Just follow the sound of giggles. Go ahead and say hi to them and see for yourself what I'm talking about. I'll go check if the helpers are done already with our food. Hobi and Jimin insisted on steak and pasta. I bought plenty to prevent any more complaints from Hobi. I hope you're hungry."

Yoongi just smiled in sympathy. This is the first time he's seen his bestfriend get frustrated with his husband. They usually are just a chill couple and rarely go into major fights as far as he knows. So, if Namjoon is bothered and adamant in cutting down Hoseok's shopping expenses then maybe there really is a problem with Hoseok's spending and his friend's concerns are justified.

The older CEO ascended the stairs and walked towards the direction of the guest rooms. True enough you can hear a couple of loud giggles coming from one of them so it's easy to find where exactly the two are.

He found the door ajar and was about to knock when he heard the conversation Jimin and Hobi are having. He knows it's not polite to eavesdrop but he couldn't help it especially after hearing his name being mentioned.

"Oh, wow! Hobi hyung, you'll make so much money if you're able to sell all of these!", Jimin giggled, the effect of wine he and Hobi decided to drink while organizing the latter's clothes and accessories already apparent.
