A/N - Special thanks to @Oh-Beyond who helped me work through some of the punishments when I got stuck.

“Aish what is taking them so long?!”  

After hearing Chanyeol whinge yet again Kyungsoo finally snapped. “Shut up Chanyeol. Unless you want Jongdae to punish you then by all means, keep talking.”

Chanyeol opened him mouth to say something back but as he let Kyungsoo’s words sink in he decided on staying quiet instead. It was as though he’d only just realised that he might end up with Jongdae’s punishment. You were starting to feel as frustrated as Chanyeol was but you refused to show it, especially after you kept seeing the winners glancing over in your direction before resuming their huddle. Every now and again you’d hear Jongdae’s loud laugh before all of them lost it and broke down laughing. You were just hoping it wouldn’t be anything too bad.

Sehun had given up on waiting and had lain down with his head in your lap, whining until you his hair. After he’d fallen asleep the other three chuckled to themselves. “What’s so funny?”

Kyungsoo was the one to respond. “We can’t wait to see what happens to him when he gets a lesson because there is no way he is going to behave long enough to be rewarded.” You shook your head at them but before you could respond Jongdae & Baek announced that punishments were decided and for everyone to pay attention. You roused Sehun from his nap but he refused to sit up until you started bouncing your legs.

Minseok stepped forward. “We have decided on your punishments. Each of us will give one of you a punishment that is to be carried out at a time of our choosing. The punishments cannot infringe upon our schedules or work and cannot be done in public if they will damage any one of us in the public’s eyes. Is that agreeable for all of you?” Sehun sighed heavily and Junmyeon nudged him. All 5 of you agreed with the statement Minseok had presented to you. After hearing everyone’s acceptance he grinned. “Excellent. Well then I guess we should enlighten you. Baekhyun, did you want to read the list?”

Baekhyun stepped forward and just grinned at everyone. You swore you could see him almost vibrating with excitement. He just kept grinning but he made no moves to life the piece of paper in his hands and tell any of you your punishments. “You are too excited. Allow me.” Yixing grabbed the paper from Baek’s hand and cleared his throat.

“Punishments are as follows. Firstly, Kyungsoo must be Jongin’s footrest for 15 minutes.” Jongin couldn’t contain his laughter even with Kyungsoo glaring at him.  Chanyeol was laughing so hard he had sunk to the floor and was clutching his sides. You reminded Kyungsoo that it could be worse, Jongdae hadn’t picked him. That seemed to cheer him up and stopped Chanyeol’s laughter. Yixing waited patiently for them to settle before he continued. “Second. Junmyeon must drive Minseok to a place of his choosing, allow him to order anything they want and watch him eat it. Junmyeon cannot eat unless Minseok does not like his meal or cannot finish it.”

Minseok looked so pleased with himself, his gummy smile showing as Junmyeon complained. “I always pay already! And I have to just sit and watch you eat? That’s so awkward. Why would you pick me?” With each complaint everyone laughed even more.

You quietly whispered into Junmyeon’s ear. “Don’t worry, he won’t pick somewhere too fancy and he’ll feel weird after 5 minutes of you watching him eat and he’ll cave. You got off easy.” Your words had the desired effect – Junmyeon calmed himself, Yixing inclined his head towards you in thanks and Minseok looked at you wondering what you could have possibly said to him.

“Thirdly, Sehun has to carry around a snack pack for me and bring it to me whenever I call for it. The snack pack must contain a small portion of food and a drink. If Sehun fails to provide the snack pack when asked further punishment will apply.” Baek & Jongdae broke down in laughter after Sehun started complaining about being a slave. Chanyeol lost it when Sehun stopped to think and freaked out, wondering how he was supposed to keep up with Yixing’s schedules. “Don’t worry Sehun, I don’t think you’ll disappoint me.” Sehun calmed down at Yixing’s words and allowed him to continue. Chanyeol and you shared nervous glances, knowing that both of you were at the liberty of Jongdae and Baek’s punishments. “Fourth, Chanyeol will be provided with 8 different pick up lines. He is to use these pickup lines when Jongdae asks. He will also ensure that Jongdae gets his preference of seat and meal for the next week. If he fails to do this he will have to read out a string of embarrassing text messages from his phone.”

“Yah! Isn’t that too much?!” Jongdae grinned at Chanyeol’s outburst.

“My other option was for you to let Yoora come and hang out with us for an evening…”

“ that, give me pick up lines.” You’d never seen Chanyeol shut down an idea that fast before. Kyungsoo was laughing so hard at their exchange that he had to take a walk. The punishment was funny, you agreed to that, but you were too consumed with dread from the grin Baek was giving you so you couldn’t fully enjoy Chanyeol’s suffering. Jongdae might give out the worst punishments but Baek was a wild card. You were never sure if he was going to go easy on you or make your life more difficult for his own enjoyment.

Yixing waited patiently for everyone to calm down. He looked up at you and offered you a small smile before he read out your punishment. “And finally, Y/N must be Baekhyun’s personal cheerleader for the next week. Whenever you are visiting the dorm you must wear a cheerleader outfit, with pompoms. When you see Baekhyun you must cheer him on in whatever he is doing, complete with dance routines and chants. If you don’t visit the dorm or if our schedules make it so that you are unable to meet us you must video call twice in the day to perform a cheer to lift Baekhyun’s spirits. If you fail, Baekhyun will get Heechul to make a punishment for you. However, if you succeed you get to set a challenge to the group.” When Yixing finished speaking the room was silent. Then Kyungsoo cracked and you heard him trying to keep his laughter in but it was no use. As soon as he started one by one everyone else was reduced to giggling messes. Well, everyone except Baek, who looked unbelievably proud of himself.  You were too shocked to make any sort of witty remark. You thought he’d pick something more suggestive… and that you could handle. This, you weren’t sure.

You processed everyone’s punishments and slowly came to term with your embarrassing punishment. You hadn’t met Heechul but you’d heard the guys mention him before. You had to assume that he was less kind with punishments since Baek chose him as a backup rather than Jongdae. Yixing came over to you to check on you. He leant down so that he was eye level with you. “Y/N, are you alright?” You nodded.

“Yeah Yixing I’m good. Just…just ah, processing everything. It’s a lot.” He chuckled and pulled you into a hug.

“All of us wanted to pick you but we went in point order and Baekhyun had the highest score so he got first pick.”

“It’s ok. I was pretty sure he was going to pick me. I’m going to have to get a cheerleader outfit now. He does realise that’s not the sort of thing a girl just has laying around right?” Yixing let out a hearty laugh as the two of you embraced.

“Sehun and I were going shopping tomorrow anyway, you can tag along and we can help you find one if you’d like.” This time you chuckled before stepping back so you could see him while he spoke to you. When you looked up you noticed the slight smirk on his face. It didn’t appear often but when it did you knew he was up to something. “We can both help you with your moves as well. I did a cheerleader routine in my last drama & Sehun has had to cheer us on before.” He couldn’t keep a straight face while talking.

You lightly hit him in the shoulder for teasing you but you decided to take him up on at least half of his offer. After all, you did need to go shopping. Baekhyun would enjoy taking you too much and the rest would make too many lewd comments. You knew you could rely on Yixing to make sure you got what you needed, and even if you caught him staring, you knew he wouldn’t make and overly ual comments at you and if you played your cards right you might be able to convince Sehun to buy you something, you trusted his fashion sense. “I’m up for annoying him as much as I can before I have to become his personal cheerleader so I’m taking you up on your shopping offer. Not so sure about the cheerleading tutoring but we’ll see.” Satisfied with your response Yixing headed off to check on Sehun, who was sulking near the bar. As soon as he left Minseok made his way over to you. If they are all going to come and see if I’m ok I’m going to yell at someone.

“Just as a warning, you do not want Heechul making a punishment for you under any circumstances. He makes Dae look boring. So if I were you, I’d be the best cheerleader that there ever was.” He shook his head. “Baek thinks he’s come up with the best punishment but you could easily go over the top with it and annoy the out of him... not that I’m suggesting that” You hadn’t thought of that option yet but Minseok made a good point.

“You are a sneaky thing you know that Minseok? That hadn’t even crossed my mind.” He grinned and went to walk past you. He stopped right beside you and lowered his voice as he spoke.

“Maybe you could wear that outfit once when Baekhyun isn’t around.” You saw the playful look in his eyes. “Something to think about Y/N.” Then he walked off. You needed some air. Something happened to men whenever cheerleading outfits were involved and you just couldn’t handle 7 more of them approaching you tonight.

You headed outside and waited near the van. You were hoping one of the managers would make an appearance soon so that you could find out when you could head home. If Baek thought he’d beaten you with this punishment he was in for a surprise. You decided that you would take on the role properly but if he irked you or got too full of himself you’d take Minseok’s advice and go over the top with it until he was annoyed and wanted the punishment to be over. You didn’t have to wait too long. Soon enough one of the managers appeared along with Yixing, Sehun, Kyungsoo and Jongin. When they spotted you, you asked if they were heading home. Three were and one was being dropped at the SM building on the way so you jumped in, more than ready to get home.

The drive home was quiet, with all of the guys resting as the van headed towards its destination. Halfway home you tapped Yixing on the shoulder and asked what time he and Sehun were going shopping the next day. The three of you organised to meet at your apartment at 2pm and head out from there. You parted ways at your floor and bid everyone a good night’s sleep. Once you were alone you realised just how exhausted you were and how inviting your bed looked. You quickly washed up and jumped under the covers, relaxing into the softness of your pillow and snuggling into your blankets. You were so comfortable.

That comfort did not last long. Your phone started to buzz shortly after.

B – Yah, where did my cheerleader disappear to?

Y/N – To her bed. She is tired.

B – I didn’t even get to gloat about my win.

Y/N – Well I bet that is tearing you up inside.

B – I’m not that shallow. I just wanted to tease you a bit. It’s more fun in person.

Y/N – Well you’ll have many chances over the next week.

B – Promise? ;)

Y/N – I’m too tired for double speak Baek.

B - …Fine. If you don’t rest you’ll have no pep. :P

Y/N – Oh shut up.

B – You get cranky when you’re sleepy. 

B- So, do you need me to get you the outfit? Or are you going to shock me and tell me you already have one just lying around?

Y/N – Yixing & Sehun are taking me shopping for it tomorrow. It didn’t occur to me when I was packing to move to Korea that I’d need a cheerleader’s outfit so no, I don’t just have one lying around.

B – Well that’s an oversight on your part.

Y/N – Aish. Are you planning on letting me sleep anytime soon?

B – I can go all night ;)

Y/N – Stop flirting and let me sleep.

B – Fine.

B – Goodnight Y/N, sweet dreams. Or not sweet. Flirty and dirty dreams ;)

Shopping with Yixing & Sehun was more fun that you thought it would be. The first few stores they took you to gave you the impression that you were going to regret agreeing to go with them. These boys knew what looked good on them and they did not mind trying on countless pieces. You sat and waited while they wandered about, trying on various jackets, shirts and pants. The watch store bored you to death but the two of them were engrossed and you didn’t want to nag them so early into the trip. After the first two stores they took you for a coffee break and told you that the next stop was your cheerleader outfit.

You made your way in to the costume store and the owner helped you find the right section. Sehun pulled out 3 choices for you. “Y/N, you can either be a y cheerleader, a cheerleader from Bring It On or the cheerleader outfit from Lollipop Chainsaw. They’ll all look good. What do you think Yixing hyung?

“Hmm I think the first option is too revealing. The second is from a movie isn’t it? It has yellow in it and I know Baekhyun likes yellow. The third is revealing as well but it’s cooler. It’s from a video game too yeah? He’d lose his mind over that.” Yixing thought for a few moments before deciding on the third option. Sehun agreed with him and you couldn’t lie, the colours appealed to you more than the other two and Yixing was right, Baek would freak out if you wore the outfit from a game.

Within the hour you’d managed to get what you needed and the guys had successfully bought what they needed. Yixing suggested a few more stops, stating that he wanted Sehun to find something for you to wear when you were overseas, in case you had to appear in front of cameras. Sehun took his role seriously and asked you a bunch of questions about patterns, colours, fabrics and styles that you liked. The kid knew his fashion. While he flitted about the store you and Yixing sat and chatted. You talked to him about the difficulties of working in two countries and how he managed. He was honest with you and some of his responses made you just want to hug him until he slept for a week.

The more you talked with Yixing you realised the two of you were quite similar. He just had a much more insane work ethic than you did. You were in the middle of talking about animals when Yixing called out “Snack!” From somewhere in the store you heard Sehun curse before he headed over to Yixing and offered him a drink or food. Yixing giggled the whole time. It took a good five minutes for him to stop giggling.

Sehun was in the middle of assessing the various looks he’d picked out for you when Yixing called out “Snack!” again. Sehun stared at you exasperated before running off to provide Yixing with more snacks. When he returned Yixing called out again and this time you couldn’t help but laugh. Sehun’s face was priceless. You could tell he wanted to yell and complain but he carried out his punishment and headed back to Yixing.

After another half hour Sehun was finally able to settle on an outfit for you. He handed it to Yixing who went off to pay for it. Before he came back you heard “Snack!” once more and you though Sehun as going to break.

“Hyung!” he whined.

“I’m kidding. I couldn’t eat any more if I tried. 7 snacks have filled me right up.” Sehun visibly relaxed, breathing out a sigh of relief. “Come on, let’s head back. I need to get ready for filming.”

Sehun slept for the whole trip home, worn out from all of the running around he’d had to do. As you pulled into the building Yixing turned around in his seat to speak to you.

“That reminds me Y/N, I need to have a lesson with you soon. I have to fly back to China for filming for a couple of weeks then I’ll be back here just before we head off overseas and I don’t know if we’ll have time then.”

“Of course, when did you want to do it?”

“Well I have filming tonight and a couple of schedules tomorrow so how about 2 days from now, in the evening?”

“That’ll work. It gives me enough time to plan your lesson. I’ll see you in 2 days Yixing. Don’t forget my rules.”

“Of course not teacher.”
