Suga's POV:
Claire is busy in the kitchen cleaning up from dinner, she's humming along to her Pandora radio and just looks happy. I hear a knock and quickly answer the door, "she's in the kitchen." He nods and walks in. "Claire?" "Mark!" I watch her run up to him and she throws her arms around him. He smiles down at her and laughs. "You didn't tell me you were coming over!" "I wanted it to be a surprise." She stands on her toes and closes her eyes. He looks at me and I nod. I look away as he kisses her, "well I'm glad you're here Mark. I'm always happy when I see you." "As am I. But Claire, Suga and I need to talk to you about something." "What is it?" "We need to sit down for this." We all sit on the couch and she looks up at us. "What is it?" "Claire... Do you know how long you've been dating Mark?" "For a while now, why?" "Claire that's the thing..." "We broke up," Mark quickly says. She stares at him confused, "no we didn't. I would remember that." "That's the thing Claire, you don't remember that. Shortly after we broke up, you got together with Suga." She looks at me confused this time. "It's true." "No, that doesn't make since. I know my brain doesn't process certain information and it gets lost, but that doesn't mean I forget important things. Like a break up."
She starts to stand up but I grab her hand. "You have to believe us Claire." "How can I? What you guys are saying sounds crazy." "But it's the truth." Mark kneels in front of her, "you have to believe us Claire." "I'm sorry Mark, but I can't." She literally can't remember... "Um, can I get up now?" "Um. Sure." Mark moves away for her and she walks away to the bathroom. "She literally doesn't remember..." I punch the couch and Mark holds his head. "This isn't good... That guy is going to get me if I don't do what he says." "Don't let him. You have to fight it." "How!? I don't want to do this to her, I can't make her switch companies." "Mark.. Why are you so afraid to do it?" "....Because I'm afraid that she'll say yes with how she's acting now. She's different. That's why I don't want to ask her." "We have to think of another way..."

"Hey, Suga?" "Yeah Claire?" She lets out a deep breath, "about what you said last night.. I'm trying to remember but I can't." "I understand. It's fine." "I'm sorry Suga, if what you guys said is true, I can't remember." I step closer to her and she looks up at me shyly. "What are you doing?" "Another way to help you remember." I grab her waist and pull her to me. "Suga." I hold the back of her neck so that she looks up at me. "What are you doing?" "You liked it when I did this," I whisper and lean down. "I did?," she says nervously. "Yeah." I lean down more and she pushes on my chest. "Please don't." "Claire, I'm trying to help you-" "But please not like that. Anything but that." "Claire, if you don't remember, than you're-" I cut myself off. "Than I'm what?" I walk away but she grabs my arm. "Suga, please tell me." "I can't." She lets go and I walk off.

Mark's POV:
"I can't believe Suga tried to kiss me," she mumbles and takes a bite of her food. I'm not mad that he tried to. Maybe it would have worked. "Don't be mad at him Claire, he was just trying to help." She lets out a sigh and lets her head hang forward. "If what you guys said is true, I can't remember it. I'm trying." "I know you are, and it's okay that you can't. As long you know the truth, that's okay with me." "Mark.." "Yeah Claire?" "I.." "Mark." I freeze up at that voice. "Oh, hi sir," Claire smiles to the guy behind me. "Hi Claire. Mind if I borrow Mark for a bit?" "I don't mind." I feel his hand on my shoulder, "come along Mark." I look at Claire, "it's okay Mark. I'll be here." No. Please. Ask me to stay. "Are you sure Claire?" "It's fine. I'll finish eating and I have to go through some of the paper work that I brought." "Um. Okay. I'll be back soon." I get up and follow him out. "Follow me." I quietly follow him into the sound proof office, my heart pounding in my ears. "Mark!!" "Suga!? What the hell are you doing here!?" "These guys came by my dorm, knocked me out, and I woke up here." Security is holding him back. "What the hell is this all about!?" "You disobeyed my orders. You told Claire, and now she's doubting what's real." "And so what if she is? I believe in her."
"That is not what I want to hear." He snaps his fingers and the other guys grab me, I try to fight them off but they end up pushing me against the wall.
Suga's POV:
I try to move but they keep me still. "Let go of him!" "Shut up Yoon Gi!," the guy snaps. Mark tries to fight them but they keep him pressed against the wall. "What are you going to do?" "You know very well what I'm going to do. I'm going to do the same thing that I did to your girlfriend, and then you'll finally listen to me." "HELP!," Mark yells and the guy laughs. "Yell all you want Mark!" He pulls out a pocket watch and holds it in front of his eyes. Mark turns his face but the guy grabs his face and forces it to look straight. "I don't think so. Why can't you be easy like her. She was such a good girl." That gets me to move again but they hold me down. "Don't talk about her like that!" "Shut up! Now Mark, it won't hurt. I promise." He starts swinging the watch and Mark can't help but focus on it. "Mark don't!" "Mark, listen to just my voice. You will not remember that you and Claire broke up, you'll think that you two are still dating. You'll also tell her what you said last night was a lie, and that you'll convince her to switch over. You'll do whatever it takes." Mark groans and the guy just smiles. "Now, on the count of three, you won't remember this. You'll go right back to Claire and talk to her." He slowly nods. "Perfect. One. Two. Three."Mark blinks a few times and the guys let go off him. "Mark. Mark!!" Mark walks out of the room, "Mark!!" "He's doing what I told him to do. How does it feel Min Yoon Gi, that you're about to lose Claire forever?" "You bastard!!!" He laughs and kneels down, "and I'm going to make you remember everything. Just for fun."
Mark's POV:
I walk back into the room and smile at her, "hey Claire." "Hey Mark." I sit down by her and look over what she's doing. "That's a lot of paper work." "Yeah, I got a lot today." "Say, Claire. Did you ever think about leaving BigHit?" "Leaving? How could I?" "Well, because we're dating, and you're over here a lot. I think it would be perfect if you worked here." "..Mark? Are you okay?" "Yeah, why?" "Because... Of what you told me last night.." "Oh, that? It was a lie." "Why would you lie about something like that?" "I'm sorry that I lied. I don't know what I was thinking. So, would you switch over?" "I don't know Mark... BTS is the reason why I'm there, and I don't want to betray them." I place my hands flat on the floor so that she's between my arms. "Mark." "Don't force me to do something that I don't want to do Claire." "Mark, why are you talking like that?" I lean down, forcing her to lean back. I lean down enough that she ends up laying down. I smile at her and get fully over her. "Mark. Please stop." "I thought you liked it when I did this?" I lean down and she pushes on my chest. "Please stop." "I'm sorry Claire, but I can't. This is the last time that I'll ask you, please switch over."
I lean down more, she tries to push me away but I grab her hands and hold them down. "Mark. Please." I kiss her and I feel her move underneath me. She manages to break the kiss, "help!!" "Nuh uh." I forcefully kiss her and she screams into the kiss. "Get off of her Mark!," I hear someone yell. Someone grabs my arms and pulls me up. I try to move, I look up, it's Jackson. She quickly gets away from me, JB helps her up and she stands behind him. "What the hell was all of that about!?" "We heard her yell help and ran in, and it's a good thing that we did. What the hell were you doing to her!?" "I was trying to convince her to switch over to our company." JB looks at me weird, Claire holds his arm scared and he looks down at her. "Not you to," JB mumbles. "Not me what?" "Guys. I know what's going on. But Jackson, don't let go of him." "What's going on?" "The same thing happened to Mark." "The same thing?," Youngjae asks. JB makes a head motion to Claire, "I get it," Junior says. "Let go of me Jackson." "Not a chance." "What are we going to do?" "Tonight, us, BTS, and Claire, are all going to end this." "What do you have in mind?" "I'll tell you later. We're scaring Claire more." "Doesn't help that we're speaking in Korean."
"Claire, you can go home now. I'll contact your boss and explain. Okay?" "O-okay." She quickly grabs her stuff and runs off. "Why did you do that!?" "Because this isn't you! The Mark we know, won't force Claire into anything." "What are you talking about!?" "Wake up Mark!! And tonight that will happen! Both of you will!!"
