BTS American Love Story *COMPLETED*

Part 32

Mark's POV:

I know that the guy and his guards are standing outside of the closet, and they know that she's awake. "Where am I...," Claire mumbles. "Claire.. What the hell did he do to you.." "The only way she'll stop feeling like that, is if you do what I said!" I turn her so that she's facing me and I hold her up. She reaches forward and grabs my shirt, "I don't want to be in here Mark.." "I know.. Neither do I.." "Just do it already!!!," he yells. There has to be another way for this to stop. Maybe it doesn't have to be me to kiss her, maybe it can be Min Yoon Gi. "Claire, Claire look up at me." She slowly looks up at me, her eyes are heavy. "You have to stay awake Claire, no matter what." "I'm trying..." She grips my shirt more and leans forward more. I hold her up and move her onto my lap, having her head rest on my shoulder. "We're going to get out of here Claire. I promise." "Mark... I never told you this.." "What is it?" "I should have told you this... I have a disability.." She loosens her grip  and I stare down at her. "I should have told you..." "It's okay Claire, you're telling me now." "I just feel so guilty.. That maybe it was partially my fault..." "Claire, you don't know what you're talking about. It was all me. Not you." "But if I told you.. Maybe.." "Don't say that. You're with Min Yoon Gi now." "Suga.." "Are you happy with him." She slowly nods. "Then you're meant to be with him." Min Yoon Gi.. Where are you..

Suga's POV:

I run into the building and get stopped by security. "I need to come inside, one of BigHit's employees is here." I look through security and see JB. "JB!" He stops walking and turns around. He runs over and pushes security aside. "Why are you here?" "Where's Mark and Claire?" "What are you talking about?" I grab his arm and pull him along with me. "What's going on!?" "I got a call from Mark that Claire is in trouble. And I think they're still here." "What do you mean in trouble!?" "Someone in this company wants Claire to switch to here. And Mark knows who it is. I just need to find them." "I don't know where to look though." "Where's your manager?" "Right, my manager." We run off and I follow him. We reach a office and JB runs in. "Manager, I can't find Mark and Claire anywhere." "Claire, why is she here?" "You mean you're not the one who called her in today for a meeting!?" "No, I didn't. And what do you mean you can't find Mark!?" "I'll try calling him." I call him and he picks up. "Where are you?" "Just do it already Mark!!," I hear a guy yell. I put the phone on speaker for them to hear. "I won't do this to her!" "I know you Mark! You want her back! And I gave you a way to have her back!" My hand starts shaking and JB takes the phone from me. "Is there a sound proof room manager? Because if he's yelling, and we can't hear them, they have to be in a sound proof room." 

Manager quickly gets up and runs off and we follow him. We keep running until we get to a room and he starts pounding on the door. "Open the door!!," manager yells. The door finally opens and the guy stares at us. "How may I help you?" "Out of my way, I saw you earlier with Claire and now she's gone," JB pushes past him. JB finally hangs up and looks around the room. "Where are they? We know they're in here." "I don't know what you're talking about." "We're in here!," I hear Mark yell from a closet. "It's locked!," he yells. "Give us the key." "I don't think so." "Hand me the key or I'm reporting you." The guy gives manager the key and he quickly unlocks the door and opens it. I go in and see Mark and Claire on the floor, Claire in his lap. I kneel down and look at her, "what's wrong with her?" "He drugged her, I been trying to keep her awake." The second time that Claire has been drugged... "Come on, lets get her out." "Suga.." "It's me Claire, Suga, I'm here now." We pick her up and carry her out, we carry her over to a chair and sit her down. "What is the reason for this!?," manager snaps. "Your threats don't scare me, I'm your boss." "I don't even know who you are." "Of course you don't. I run parts of this company that you don't know about." 

"Is this true manager?," JB asks. "Your manager doesn't know anything about me. But I'm the real reason as to why he's your manager. I control the hiring process, and this girl, I want her here." "So you drugged her to work here!," I yell. "No, I drugged her, hypnotized her, to work here." "Hypnotize...?" "The only way that she'll stop feeling like that, is if Mark kisses her. Once he does, she'll feel better, and she'll think that she's still dating Mark. Which means, I'm one step away from getting her to work here." "And what if I don't do it?" "She'll eventually have to go to a hospital and I'll continue spreading hate of her and Min Yoon Gi." "You did this!?" "I'll do whatever I can to get this girl to work here!" I look at Mark, who's staring down at Claire. This guy is literally not giving us any option. Mark closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. "I'll do it." "What!?" "If it's the only way that's going to keep Claire safe... I'll do it... Trust me Min Yoon Gi, this was not the way that I wanted to get Claire back." "I... I just..." I stare at Claire, she's having trouble staying up and Mark holds her up. "You promise she'll feel better, like it never happened, if he does it?" "Yes." "Do it Mark..." Mark gently holds her head up, takes a deep breath, and leans down. 

He gently kisses her and Claire starts to sit differently. She starts to sit up straight and reaches up to his hands. He breaks the kiss, she blinks a few times and looks around. "What? Where am I?" She looks normal. "You're at JYP." "Why is Suga here?" "I wanted to come with you today for the meeting you had earlier." "Thanks Suga." "Claire, how do you feel?" "Normal, why?" So it worked... "Claire, do you know how our relationship is?," Mark slowly asks. "Yeah, you're my boyfriend." I don't want to hear this. "Um, lets go Claire and Mark. I'm sure the guys want to hang out." Mark helps her up and they walk out with JB. "One step closer," the guy sings. "And by the way. I didn't really drug her. That's just how I hypnotized her." "You mean she was fine!?" "But I gave you no loop hole. She still would have been like that if you kissed her Min Yoon Gi. Enjoy being friends again." I throw my arm up but manager grabs it. "Don't." He walks out laughing and manager finally lets go of me when he's gone. "I can't handle this." "Neither can I. I don't even know who that guy is..." "Seriously?" "I don't. But if he was the one as to why I got my job..." "You weren't about to risk your job... I get it. It's fine." "What are you going to do?" "Talk to Mark later to see if we can find a way to make Claire remember the truth. That's the only way." I know Mark will keep her safe and happy, but if we wait to long, I'll lose her forever.
