Letter 2 U

Part 29 - The manager

Mark woke up in another room. He wasn't in his apartment, he quickly noticed that. Another thing he couldn't miss, was his boyfriend's presence beside him. They were both in the same bed. However, shame didn't allow the elder to look his lover in the eye. He sat up, glanced around the room and he was relieved to see it wasn't the one he was with Jackson earlier. He just wondered when he had blacked out or when he had put his clothes back on.

"We were so worried! I'm so glad you're okay. Are you hurt anywhere?" The singer asked as he ran a hand through the American's hair. The elder avoided his gaze, still confused.

"Who's 'we'? Where is this place?" Mark asked quickly.

"I'm sorry to say we are still at Lee's mansion. He just locked us up together in different rooms. I mean, the whole group is here somewhere. Lee's men brought us not long after you two left the apartment." Jinyoung informed him as he ran a hand through his hyung's hair.

"Did he do anything to you, or the others?" Mark asked nervously, but the other only shook his head before he could answer him.

"I don't think so, at least not physically." Jinyoung replied, a trace of resentment in his voice.

"Jackson is here too, I was with him earlier." Mark confessed as he bit his lower lip. Guilt and shame haunted his mind as he struggled to meet Jinyoung's eyes.

"I know, I saw everything." The singer sighed frustrated. His expression was a mix of disappointment and concern. Mark looked at him quizzically, unable to understand what the other meant by 'saw everything'."

"What do you mean?"

"Tae-U made me watch, Mark. There were cameras in the room you two were in. That psychopath locked me up here with a laptop." Jinyoung's tone was uncomfortable, his boyfriend noticed that. The elder's heart skipped a beat.

"What are you saying, what did you see?!" Mark inquired, suddenly feeling incredibly exposed. He didn't want to imagine that Lee would force his boyfriend to watch what happened in the nightmarish 'Macao room'.

"You and Jackson." Jinyoung wore a hurt expression on his face as he got up from the bed and stared hard at him.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Mark demanded, as the younger massaged his temples, obviously stressed.

"Are you deaf, Mark, or do you have amnesia again?" the singer raised his voice, but regretted it the second he saw Mark's eyes water.

"You saw what he did to me?" the American's voice was full of angst.

"You mean, what you did to each other!" Jinyoung corrected him impatiently.

"How can you say that? He forced himself on me again. I didn't want to!" Mark cried, feeling wronged.

"What?! You guys were in bed enjoying some heavy petting session when you started to freak out! Even Jackson didn't know what to do when you started talking by yourself or when you started pounding the walls. You were having some sort of panic attack or something. Thank God, that cheap Markson porn didn't go too far. At least your own trauma protected you from making stupid decisions based solely on lust. I guess somewhere in your subconscious, you knew that shit couldn't go on." Jinyoung spat. The Korean was extremely upset. He hated the fact that his hyung had let his guard down and allowed the rapper to seduce him.
