"When punishing someone you always have to make sure it fits the crime, which is pretty obvious but what I'd like to make clear is, don't make a threat you can't stick to." Yoongi says watching Jimin and Namjoon share a look.

"That's pretty obvious right?" Namjoon asks shyly, only for Yoongi to nod. "It is, but with impact play it's easy to, for example tell a submissive that they have to count and that if they loose count you'll start over again. Which is reasonable when it's three, five maybe even ten depending on the implement but not when higher than that."

He pauses. "Instead try saying things like, I'll add more, or add time to the punishment. That way you can still enforce your threat but also keep it safe for both."

Jimin nods thoughtfully. "Never thought if it that way."

"Later on when you know your submissive inside out, know what they can handle it will be easier but you guys are just starting out."

Namjoon nods. "When can we actually start doing this?"

"Whenever you want, BDSM is a lot of learning about yourself, each other and everything involved. You mostly learn by doing but it's nice to have someone like me who can teach you the basics and answer all your questions." He says, before turning a little more serious. "It's important — like I said many times before — you do need to talk, best even write down boundaries and rules. And not to forget a safe word."

Jimin smiles. "We agreed on 'vanilla'"

"Wrong word, chances are vanilla will be used as it's an sexual term in 'vanilla sex'. You probably rarely say it but it's safer to choose a word that's complete unrelated to sex."

The two share a look. "How about lego?"

"Lego is fine, easy." Namjoon says blushing a little.

"Good, now discuss whatever boundaries and rules each of you have, after that get comfortable with each other. It's painful watching you two being so shy, BDSM is trust." He chuckles as he watches both men blush.

Jimin rolls his eyes. "Yeah yeah Mr know it all."

"Watch it I can still make you my submissive." Yoongi jokes only for Jimin to fake gag. "I'd rather die."

"Yeah, yeah whatever. I'm in my room if there's any questions." With those words he leaves to let the two figure out how they want things to be between them.

Walking up the stairs he pulls out his phone, disappointed to see now texts or calls from the CEO. It's been two weeks since they've had that talk about jealousy.

He doesn't hope that Hoseok will ignore him, but at the same time he hopes he does. Really falling for the man would probably hurt more than slowly letting whatever feelings he's caught fade.

Because Jung Hoseok cares more about the way the world sees him, than he does about himself.

Never will he allow Yoongi to be his boyfriend.

So yes, part of him hopes he never has to see Jung Hoseok again.
