Letter 2 U

Part 19 - The Party

The two concerts in Seoul were a huge sensation, as expected. The group still had 10 days to prepare for the North American Tour. The boys were ecstatic with the fact that all seats in KSPO Dome were filled with loyal and enthusiastic Ahgases. They were even able to temporarily forget the fact that one of those adorable fans could be the one behind letter2u's infamous acts. However, that possibility didn't ruin their performances, on the contrary, it made all the members work even harder. On the stage, they easily reconnected and the chemistry between the members came alive again, even though 3 members weren't interacting as usual. Got7 didn't want to give in to their nemesis, and they had decided that together, they could accomplish anything. The band was thankful that the anonymous sasaeng seemed to give them a break, at least during the stressing and anxious period before their international tour. The only problem was that the band still had some internal issues, which couldn't be ignored. The boys became too comfortable with the fact that MarkJinSon's stalker hadn't made any contact with them after what happened at Oryu-dong Station. They even wondered if the kid wasn't really just a employee. And if he was actually letter2u, their nightmare could be over. Slowly the members became more comfortable and started to break JB's rule of 'doing everything together and staying together at all times'. They still slept at Jackson's, but they didn't restrain themselves from going out alone in disguises and with bodyguards. Things between Jinyoung and Mark still were at an impasse. The singer delayed the official break up as much as he could, but at the same time he acted like his boyfriend was a mere colleague. The American hated the way their relationship seemed to be dying, but he refused to confront the Korean about it, since he brought up the idea of a non-monogamous lifestyle. Mark didn't want to look needy or clingy, and he thought that if he dared to complain about that non-exclusive status, the singer would fatally announce their end. He didn't regret telling Jinyoung about the rape, he was proud of himself for being able to unravel the knot of secrets that he kept for so long entangled in his being. He wanted to be honest with his partner, yet, he was having a hard time dealing with the consequences of his frankness. In his mind, Jinyoung had two reasons to break up with him. Either the singer thought he was damaged goods, or he simply had found someone else. And that could easily happen, since the band was constantly surrounded by hundreds of people who worked for JYP. He also noticed how Jackson seemed to be too quiet those days and his mind went wild with the thought that, perhaps, the rapper and Jinyoung could be having a secret affair. He couldn't miss the strange looks they often shared or the way they whispered to each other when they thought they were alone. JB, Youngjae, Bambam and Yugyeom did their best not to interfere with the love triangle anymore, unless it was extremely necessary.

At a particular evening, Yugyeom invited the whole group for a birthday party of a celebrity friend of his. The maknae thought that his hyungs needed an opportunity to clear their heads a bit, and take their minds off the upcoming concerts in America. Jaebeom was totally against the idea at first. Nevertheless, when Mark claimed that a party could help them relieve some stress, the leader had a change of heart. His hyung obviously looked like he needed a distraction and it wouldn't hurt to give that to him. JB didn't know what was going on between him and Jinyoung, but he didn't like the way Mark seemed to be so blue lately. Jinyoung was usually the first to realize that something was not right with the American and the fact that his dongseang just didn't seem to care nor would do anything about his boyfriend's sorrow was appalling to the leader.

As soon as they got to the house of Yugyeom's friend, they could tell the place packed by the amount of fancy cars parked in front of the mansion. The music was so loud that the window of their van trembled slightly. It wouldn't take long for Yugyeom and Bambam to ditch his hyungs and mingle with the other guests.

"Bammie and I are going to find Kookie. Enjoy yourselves, bros!" the maknae announced as he abandoned the other five at the entrance.

"Kookie's parties are legendary. I'm sure I'm gonna find other talented Kpop singers here." Youngjae said enthusiastically. JB frowned at that, but decided to follow the sunshine inside. He had to protect his innocent dongsaeng from drunks and other bad seeds. However, before disappearing with Youngjae into the house, he gave the trio behind him a warning.
