Stop being a brat!

*Warning, contains spanking and description of a panic attack, if you don't like it, you don't have to read, the next chapter will be up by tomorrow. I'll put these (_-_-_-_-_) before and after the triggering part if you just want to skip that part*

The boys had a day full of activities today, ranging from a Vlive for ATINY, dance practice and a couple of meetings about what they are going to do next with their comebacks.

However, they haven't even made it out of the door yet and today was already proving to be difficult. You see, Hongjoong had woken up in his headspace of 3, which wouldn't be a problem, it's easy to work around, but he was being a brat. That's to put it nicely.

No on knows what caused the usually good well behaved little to act out, all the knew is that their patience were running thin. The boys hadn't sat down and actually discussed punishments with their leader. Only settled for short time outs. And that had been working for them.

Until today.

The moment Joongie woke up, he was whining. Whining aboutt every little thing. Seonghwa actually had to lift the boy out of bed and force clothes on him as he was throwing too much of a tantrum to do it.

Then, when Wooyoung had settled a bowl of cereal in front of the leader, he simple grabbed it and threw it. Not at all caring who it landed on. Which, unfortunately, it hit Mingi, on the nose, causing a small, very small, nose bleed. His caregivers were pissed. So, Yeosang grabbed him from his chair, underneath his armpits and deposited him in the corner. Putting him in time out.

This leads up to where we are now, each member trying to eat their breakfast without snapping as Joongie was screaming and crying. They didn't know what to do, and if he continued with this behaviour, one of them was gonna snap, and it wouldn't be pretty.

"Fucken hell, what's gotten into him today?" Jongho muttered as he munched on his toast. The others grumbled in reply, trying not to get a headache from all the noise. "Great, we're gonna get noise complaints again aren't we?" Yunho sighed into his hands. He'd already finished his meal, just waiting for everyone else so they could leave.

"I know he's not shutting the hell up, but he's still got to eat" San said. It was true, they had a lot to do today, and a grumpy little running on an empty stomach would help no one. "Okay, I left a slice of toast on the counter" Seonghwa mumbled.

San got up and grabbed the cold slice of toast. Walking over, he could hear the screams slowly reduce to sniffles. "Hey Hongjoong, papa has some toast for you" No nicknames. That's how Joongie could tell that the were not happy with him.

"No wan'" Joongie whined out as he faced the wall. "Ya, Kim Hongjoong, you need to eat something" San was getting annoyed again, his temper was quickly rising and he didn't want to scare the boy, so he just walked away. Missing the small whimper Joong let out. "Sowie pa'"

Once everyone was finished, they collected their bags and made their way to the door, Mingi holding Joongies hand and bag. "Come on, lets go. An Hongjoong?"

The boy in question looked up with puffy eyes. "No more acting out okay? It's not acceptable under any circumstance" Joongie just nodded and went back to looking at the floor. When they reached the van, their manager gave them a raised eyebrow. To which Yunho just gave him a small shake of the head, signalling that they will tell him later.

Mingi lead Hongjoong into the van and helped him with his seatbelt, then sat down next to him. Hongjoong looked up at the boy as guilt began to fill him. "Sowie daddy" Mingi now had a slightly red and puffy nose. Looking at the smaller, Mingi whispered "Thank you bug. Just no more today okay? We have things to do."
