ENTANGLED [Got7]

Chapter-4: Warpath And Prayers

"Here" In-ha passed the salt to Yugyeom, who in return gave her a bright smile.

"It's delicious" Hei said while taking a bite of her chicken.

"It's fine" Mark said grumpily despite enjoying his food.

For In-ha things were going fine, halfway through the dinner and Jinyoung had said nothing except giving those sarcastic stare.

"Mark Tuan, now i know why your name sounds so familiar." Jb suddenly said while Mark looked at him with bored eyes.

Everyone's eyes darted from Jb to Mark and In-ha held her breath, praying to the Lord.
Nothing offensive, please God.

"You're the American ace everyone is talking about." Hei smiled at Mark completely ignoring the edgy tone in Jb's voice.

"You're already famous." she playfully nudged him as he gave her a lazy smile.

"Now this isn't the only reason" Jinyoung said and In-ha instantly tensed at his words while immediately grabbing his hands.

Ok God, I said nothing offensive. Let me rephrase. Oh God! Not Jinyoung.
She mentally pleaded but when the Devil himself decided to play what could be done.

Hei was about to ask for details when she looked at In-ha, who was looking at her with pleading eyes and Hei knew exactly what she meant
change the damn topic.

"So i wa-" Yugyeom interrupted Hei with a smirk directed towards the brothers, "How is our American oppa blowing everyone away?"

"Not how but because of whom." Jb added with a smug smile, making Mark tense at the words.

"Your mother is trying really hard to replace the basketball team of OUR college with the players she finds suitable." In-ha looked at Jinyoung accusingly.

So that's why he was playing nice all along.
She was aware of how pissed the brothers were at this new member of the Board, but what she didn't know was the fact that she was Mark's mother.

"What have I done?" she clenched her fists and muttered to herself.

"You Americans aren't familiar with the phrase 'mind your own business' ." Jb added and In-ha looked at him with horror.

Hei and Yugyeom were so shocked that they almost froze at the turn of events but when Yugyeom's eyes connected with In-ha's he immediately looked away.

As if accusing her of the situation. Her heart broke at his cold behavior.

"Jb, what ever her mother is doing isn't his fault." In-ha glared at him but he didn't budge. It felt like he wasn't even listening to her.

He shrugged his shoulders casually, unfazed by her words.
"Then she should back off because everybody is aware how badly Tuan family ruin the things they touch."

There goes another personal remark.

"Like your dad's affair with his secretary." Jinyoung added and everybody fell silent.

"That's enough." Hei said while slamming her hands on the table.

She have had enough of their drama and wasn't ready to sit and let them bark.

Mark clenched his hands hard. He knew what his family has done and he felt guilty for their act.

Directly or indirectly things like this have happened before and somewhere he felt he deserved it.

So he stayed silent.
Silent for the mess his family had caused
Silent as if asking for forgiveness.

"Did we offend you? I'm sorry if our facts made you sad." Jinyoung rolled his eyes and In-ha had enough of his shit.
