Domesticated (A Yoonmin AU)

Chapter 39

The ride back home was filled with tension. Jimin knows he broke a rule but he could not understand why Yoongi seems to be so mad at him. It's not as if he broke a major rule. He was just having fun with Hobi and they were drinking within the confines of the Kim's residence so they were safe. So, what is Yoongi's issue?!

"Yoonie... are you mad at me?", Jimin dared to ask Yoongi who's currently driving in a controlled pace, looking very much tense with his furrowed brows, clenched jaws and bulging veins in his hand and arms.

"What do you think, Jimin? Should I be mad at you?", the older asked tersely. Jimin whimpered at the harsh tone. He hates it whenever his boyfriend asks questions like this. He knows he can never win.

"I'm really sorry, Yoonie. I know I should have called you or at least texted you once Hobi hyung busted out the wines but I was caught up with the excitement that I just forgot. I promise it won't happen again. I'll be mindful of my actions next time.", Jimin answered softly.

Yoongi glanced briefly at Jimin before focusing back on the road.

"Is that the only thing that you should be apologizing for? Huh, Jimin?"

The dancer was confused at the question. What else did he do wrong? He tried to recall the night's events when suddenly his eyes widened. Oh, God, he thought. Yoongi heard. He knows!

Yoongi must have sensed Jimin's panic because he suddenly took the younger's hand.

"We'll talk about this once we get home, alright? It's not safe to discuss such things while I'm driving."

"Oh, gosh! Yoongi... I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to...", Jimin started but Yoongi cut him off.

"I said we'll talk at home, Jimin. For once, can't you just obey?", Yoongi snapped.

Jimin immediately shut his mouth. He never heard this tone from Yoongi before. Oh, he's definitely furious. For the rest of the ride, Jimin tried to calm himself and kept quiet, expecting the worst once they're home.

"Bedroom. Go. Find a corner.", Yoongi instructed sternly as he smacked Jimin's ass hard once they entered the front door. Jimin yelped and scrambled upstairs. The producer sighed as he entered their kitchen to get himself a glass of water to help calm himself down. He knows he's treating Jimin like a child; they don't usually do time outs. But he needed a moment to collect himself. He's been holding back since he heard Jimin's and Hobi's conversation a while ago. He's pretty proud of himself that he didn't explode immediately and embarrassed Jimin in front of their friends. But now that they're in the privacy in their own home, he's concerned that he might overdo it. The time out is actually more for himself rather than Jimin. Jimin already knows what he did wrong, no need to reflect on it.

Once he deem himself calm enough, Yoongi went upstairs. He entered their room and was relieved to find Jimin facing the wall with his arms up, sniffing once in awhile. He let Jimin be for now as he took off his work clothes, leaving his belt on the bed. After changing into a loose shirt and sweats, he sat on the edge of the bed and called Jimin to stand in front of him.

Jimin slowly walked towards Yoongi, slightly panicking upon eyeing the belt on the bed but tried to maintain his composure. He's at fault, he deserves whatever punishment Yoongi decides to give him.

"Now, Jimin. Care to tell me what rules you broke tonight or should I say, have been breaking since I don't know when?", Yoongi asked sternly.

"I, uhm... drank without informing you first."

"And?"

Jimin kept quiet. He doesn't know where to start or how to say it out loud. He never expected Yoongi to find out. He honestly thought he got away with it.
