Unsure about this chapter but publishing it anyway.

"The thing about brats is that they like to offer push back, test their dom. Sometimes even break rules on purpose to get a reaction, meaning their mistakes will be repetitive. I could easily use plenty of things in this room to give you a simple spanking, a slipper, a belt, your charger." Yoongi says, eyes focused on the submissive in front of him. Watching the elder visibly flinch at the mention of the charger.

"But all that would do is keeping you from making that mistake for maybe the next couple of days, depending on impact it could be longer or shorter." He softly reaches up, gently running his hans through the taller's hair. "It would mean quite a lot of punishments, and as much as I'm a sadist, I rather reward you than punish you."

He pauses. "Even with brats there's several kinds of slip ups, two examples are: One, the ones you make once or twice, for example you patronising people. You know you're hurting people with mistakes like these, which keeps you from making them. Second comes these, interrupting, disobeying, talking back. You're not hurting anyone but yourself with these slip ups, causing you to make them again, and again because part of you likes it."

Hoseok nods, completely hooked on Yoongi's words as he listens.

"These two also require different punishments, as for the first one, punishments will be harsh, merciless and meant to set you straight for stepping out of line. For the second one the punishment could be soft or harsh depending on the rule broken and how many warnings you've had." He leans a little closer, loving the way Hoseok seems to almost willingly want to drop to his knees.

"The second is supposed to teach you not to— for example— interrupt me. Not by giving you a harsh punishment, because for small mistakes like this a punishment is not going to stop you. No, you need something that will remind you time and time again. Pain fades, three days later you're ready to take another punishment. But humiliation and memories stay."

The CEO's eyes widen. "Isn't that manipulation?"

"It's not. Because it is completely in your own hands. You know not to talk back or disobey, and considering you like offering a little push back, I'll be lenient." Yoongi smiles. "But, when I draw a line, crossing it means a punishment."

Hoseok nods. "Sounds fair, so I am allowed to mouth off every once in a while."

Yoongi huffs. "At the right time yes but you know that. Just like you're not being a brat right now, brats know exactly when to be a brat, well, most of the time."

The CEO nods. "So what's my punishment? You know I don't take this side of my life outside."

Yoongi nods. "Which is why you're ordering everyone to stay in with us." A wicked grin appears on his face. "And you're going to remind yourself that interrupting someone when they're talking is rude."

The dancer frowns. "That's all?"

"And to make sure you learn your lesson, every time you interrupt anyone today, you remove a piece of clothing."
