Because of Mad King's constant pursuit, Namjoon feels that there is a small space suspended in time. Everyone is looking out for the same thing instead of fighting with each other. It is extremely unbearable that anyone can hide this well. His efforts to do so are in vain and irritation prevents him from working well.
In whatever field it may be.
"No new projects? How kind of you. I've barely managed to do the sixteenth of the sixty-seven you've asked for." says Matthew with barely a glance at the camera on video call.
"I'm thinking of moving you out of there" Matthew turns his head sharply with a pout. "There's more manpower in China and without Hoseok, it's safer. I don't trust Mad King to blow up where you are. Even if it's accidentally."
"How dramatic you are, though of course, not being the center of attention is getting on your nerves" mocks Matthew and Namjoon maintains an indifferent gesture. "Give me a month's notice. With all this shit that could explode from one wrong move, I recommend you take good care of me."
Namjoon rolls his eyes and ends the call.

"We are in a small crisis. You must understand that like this, it's impossible to get all the shipments up to date." complains Hongjoong. Chaeyoung chirps, waving her hand.
"That's supposed to be your problem. Not ours. We're dealing the best way we can with everyone, and who's going to get hit with a hail of bullets, it's going to be us."
"Isn't there another way to get enough of an earlier version manufactured? Whichever is simpler." proposes Leeseung for the sake of dealing with the heavy mood and making it less complicated.
Not to mention it's a threat for the four to get too violent. They are facing Altered. Jimin and Jungkook being here is a huge danger that they must not tempt. Hongjoong and Seonghwa are the ones talking, but those two there are a warning not to overstep the trust there. Jimin considers this whole discussion to be very absurd. If Mad King has them in a bad spot, there is no Altered DNA, period! They should know how to deal with consumers.
The others back home have done it, even if it is on a smaller scale. This is wasting time and nothing more.
"Not without running the risk of losing it along the way. Namjoon doesn't want to lose anything by trying to keep up the usual scheme" Seonghwa clarified, releasing smoke from the cigarette. "It's a small state of emergency on our part. Try to meet with your buyers and make it clear that the shipments will not be arriving soon."
"You put it so simply." complains Jihyo quietly.
"Maybe give a small advance. A small load." proposes Leeseung. Seonghwa and Hongjoong give each other a look, thinking how possible it is that Namjoon will beat them for agreeing.
"Let's keep it simple" Jimin rises from his seat and Jungkook does the same, standing awkwardly and waiting for Jimin's orders. "If they complain, if there's the slightest complaint, Jungkook goes over there and Pyum!" he spreads his hands and laughs cynically. "You won't have to wait for anything. Not the drugs or to see their ancestors."
"We just avoid taking the money" mutters Momo thoughtfully. "We hand everything over as a sort of guarantee to what we'll eventually deliver."
"They won't believe that shit." complains Jihyo.
"Go away then." demands Hongjoong.
"It'll be until we get Mad King. We shouldn't take much longer." Jungkook growls under his breath, grumpily, and Hongjoong laughs at him.
