Luhan lay in bed, tossing and turning as he tried to find a comfortable position. But it was no use. His mind was racing, and his body was on fire. Baekhyun hadn't come to check on him yet, and he couldn't help but feel a little abandoned. He hadn't really slept the last few nights either, and he was starting to feel the effects of it.

He sat up in bed, his eyes scanning the room. He was so bored he was actually considering reading a book. This wasn't fair. Baekhyun had no right to send him to bed early like a child. He needed to get out of this room, to clear his head and find some peace.

He got up and walked to the bathroom, picking up the book that was on the counter. As he flipped through the pages, he realized that he couldn't focus on the words. His mind was too preoccupied with other things.

He walked out of the bathroom and to the slider. The slider opened to a wrap-around porch that included a set of stairs that led to the ground floor. Baekhyun wouldn't even notice he was gone. Would he?

His boredom got the best of him, and he slid open the slider door. The air was cool and crisp against his skin, and he felt a sense of relief wash over him. He made his way to the stairs and down the steps, trying to make the least amount of noise possible. The wooden steps were rough against his bare feet, and despite his efforts, the steps creaked as he descended.

There was a greenhouse on the west end of the land, and he made his way over to it. He loved looking at all the different plants and checking their progress. After a good little stroll around the greenhouse, he exited through the door he came in. Now he could sleep in peace, hopefully.

He snuck back up the stairs to the porch, his heart racing as he opened the slider. It was pitch black in his room, meaning he couldn't see much. As he slowly closed the door behind him, he was startled by a loud throat clearing.

'Oh shit!' he thought, his heart pounding in his chest.

Slowly, he turned around to find a furious Baekhyun who had just flicked on the light. Baek just stared at him, making Luhan incredibly uncomfortable. Like a frightened deer in headlights, he just stared back, unsure of what to say or do.

Luhan stood before Baekhyun, his heart pounding in his chest. He had been caught sneaking out of bed, and now he was facing the consequences. He stuttered out an apology, but Baekhyun's cold tone made it clear that it wasn't enough.

"No, go on. I want to hear your excuse, Luhan," Baekhyun said, his eyes narrowing.

Luhan swallowed hard, trying to think of something to say. "U-Um, I couldn't sleep," he finally managed. "The walk calmed me. I swear I'll go to bed now."

Baekhyun didn't look convinced. "So you say," he said, his voice dripping with skepticism.

Luhan's mind raced as he tried to come up with a way to convince Baekhyun that he was telling the truth. But before he could say anything else, Baekhyun spoke again.

"What did I tell you would happen if I caught you out of bed without permission?" he asked calmly.

Luhan's heart was racing as he stood before Baekhyun, his eyes downcast and his body trembling with fear. He had made a mistake, a big one, and now he was paying the price.

"I-I do-don't know..." he stammered, his voice barely above a whisper.

"Oh, I'm sure you remember quite well Luhan," Baekhyun replied, his voice cold and stern.

Luhan's heart sank as he realized that Baekhyun knew exactly what he had done. He had disobeyed the rules, and now he was going to pay for it.

"U-Uhm, that you would p-put me over your kn-knee... Please don't, sir. I-I'm sorry..." he pleaded, his voice shaking with fear.

"If you behave like a child, I will treat you like one. Now, you better go find yourself a corner to think about what you've done," Baekhyun said, his voice firm and unyielding.

Luhan obeyed, his tears streaming down his face as he stood in the corner, his mind racing with thoughts of what was to come.

"Time is up, come here Luhan," Baekhyun said, his voice commanding.

Shaking, Luhan walked over to him, his eyes still downcast and his body trembling with fear.

"Look at me!" Baekhyun barked, his voice echoing through the room.

Luhan's eyes snapped up immediately, his heart pounding in his chest as he met Baekhyun's gaze.

"I think you know how disappointed I am. I was clear on the rules," Baekhyun said, his voice filled with disappointment.

Luhan's heart shattered at the sound of Baekhyun's disappointment. He had let him down, and now he was going to pay for it.

"I'm sorry, sir," he whispered, his voice barely audible.

"I know you are, but your punishment is just beginning," Baekhyun said, his voice cold and unyielding.

Baekhyun sat down on the bed and stretched out his hand towards Luhan, his eyes fixed on him. Luhan just stared back.

"If I have to get you, it's going to be worse." Luhan rapidly draws his hand to Baekhyun's.

Baekhyun then pulls him over his knee and wraps his other leg around Luhan's. The boy squirms around and Baekhyun waits for him to settle before landing the first spank. SMACK. Luhan really wishes his pants were thicker right now. Baekhyun lands a few more smacks on the boy's bottom.

Luhan winced as Baekhyun's hand connected with his backside, the sound echoing through the room. He had been caught sneaking around again, and he knew the consequences. Baekhyun was not one to be trifled with, and his punishments were always severe.

As Baekhyun continued to spank him, Luhan couldn't help but wish he had worn thicker pants. The pain was almost unbearable, but he knew he deserved it. He had been warned before, but he couldn't resist the temptation to explore.

"You will not sneak around again," Baekhyun scolded, each word punctuated by a sharp smack. "If you can't sleep, come to me. Do not sneak around."

"I-I'm sorry," Luhan whimpered, tears streaming down his face.

Baekhyun's hand paused for a moment, and Luhan dared to hope that the punishment was over. But then Baekhyun spoke again, and his heart sank.

"Clearly, the bedtime spankings I have been giving you haven't been enough. Maybe I should give you morning spankings as well. Hm?"

"No, hyung, no!" Luhan pleaded, but Baekhyun was already delivering the last ten smacks.

"Count them," Baekhyun ordered, and Luhan sobbed as he complied.

SMACK.

"O-One," he counted.

SMACK

"T-Two."

The next eight smack came down hard and fast and by the end, Luhan was in a mess of tears and snot.

"Shhh, it's over," Baekhyun cooed, rubbing the boy's back. He helped the boy off of his knee and held him in his lap while continuing to rub his back.

"Now, I will refrain from giving you morning spankings, but you still have three more nights of bedtime spankings. Do you understand?"

"Yes Hyung," the boy cried into Baekhyun's shoulder.

[The next night]

The clock struck eight, and the sound echoed through the empty halls of the dorm. Luhan sat on his bed, staring at the door, waiting for Baekhyun to arrive. He knew what was coming, but he couldn't help the shiver that ran down his spine.

Just as the clock finished chiming, Baekhyun appeared in the doorway. "Luhan," he called, his voice soft but firm. "Get yourself ready for bed. I'll be in here in a minute."

Luhan nodded, his heart pounding in his chest. He quickly changed into his pajamas and brushed his teeth, trying to calm his nerves. But he knew it was no use. Baekhyun's words always had a way of getting under his skin.

As he sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for Baekhyun to arrive, he couldn't help but feel a sense of dread. He knew what was coming, but he couldn't stop it.

Baekhyun walked in, his eyes soft but stern. "Remember, a bedtime spanking is not a punishment, just a reminder," he said, his voice gentle. Luhan couldn't help the tears that welled up in his eyes. He knew he deserved it, but it still hurt.

"I'm sorry, Hyung," he whispered, his voice barely audible.

Baekhyun sat down on the other edge of the bed, his hand reaching out to stroke Luhan's hair. "Come here, Luhan," he said, his voice soothing.

Baekhyun started again. "No one expects you to be perfect, but I do expect you to try your best and behave, all right?"

"Yes Hyung."

Baekhyun then stood up and began to undo his belt from his waste. What?! Baekhyun always just gave him his hand or the hairbrush, not a belt!

"Hyung…" Luhan stuttered.

"I am going to be a little harsher on you for the stunt you pulled last night." He sat back down and patted his lap.

"Come on. This isn't a punishment, just a reminder to behave."

Luahn obeyed and lay across Baekhyun's lap and Baekhyun pulled his pajama pants down along with his underwear. Luhan felt a hand rest on his bottom.

"What am I going to do Luhan?"

"You're going to spank me…"

"Why am I going to spank you, Luhan?"

"Because I didn't behave the best I could." Baekhyun could hear the guilt in the boy's tone.

"That's right Luhan, I hold you to very high standards."

Luhan stilled himself, hoping to appease Baekhyun. Before he could process it, he felt a hand crash into his already sore bottom.

"Owwwww…"

The spanks made him wiggle and wince at the harshness. He then heard the buckle of the belt as Baekhyun picked it him. Oh no.

"You're getting twelve. Hold still.

The smacks came down hard and fast. Luhan erupted in a mess of tears just like he had every night.

"Shhh, we're all done," Baekhyun cooed into the boy's ear while rubbing his bottom, just like he had every night.

"You're such a good boy," he said to the still-crying Luhan. Cradling him, he rubbed his back and rocked him gently until he fell asleep in his arms.
