Letter 2 U

Part 37 - The showdown

"Why did you target the Wangs?" Mark asked in a whisper. He wondered what Lee knew about everything that happened while he was away. He didn't know if he should be relieved about the fact that no MarkBum steaming moment was shared with the rest of the group yet.

"I had to teach your ex a lesson, darling. You're not the only one into teaching stuff." Letter2u smiled even wider as he looked from Mark to JB. The two almost stopped breathing. In that instant, the pair was convinced that Lee had cameras in that lodging.

"That was a bit too much don't you think? What if something happened to his parents?!" an annoyed Bambam inquired, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Your lovely rapper didn't tell you that he put a damn P.I. to tail me? A good one, by the way. It's a pity I had to get rid of him. He was the father of three lovely little girls. They shall mourn him as soon as his body is found." Lee admitted, yet, he didn't look like he cared.

"A private investigator? Why didn't you tell us anything?" Yugyeom asked astonished as he turned to Jackson. JB shook his head in disbelief.

"It's not like you guys were interested in anything I had to say. I had to do everything myself. We needed to start doing something about this guy, but I knew you were all afraid of trying anything. I acted on my own and I do not regret it." Jackson said proudly as he eyed the sasaeng with contempt.

"How audacious! I can assure you that at least your excellent P.I did regret it. I mean, just before he stopped breathing." Lee laughed out loud, while everyone in the room despised the psycho even more.

"You're a monster." Youngjae muttered as he couldn't bear to hear the coldness in the man's voice.

"Thanks for the compliment. But I'm actually pretty pissed at you guys for not inviting me for this intervention. What a shame! You now that Mark is my ultimate bias. Got7 should be thankful to me for not giving the cops the footage of a certain toilet area at Monsant café. Your eldest hyung would be in jail right now if it wasn't for me! My men retrieved all the fucking cameras at that place before the police could get to them. Anyone can clearly see that Mark enters the toilet, Kwon follows him there and even when Mark take his leave, the actor never comes out of it." Lee glanced at the group and anxiously waited for their reaction.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Youngjae asked with a frown. Jinyoung and Jackson seemed to tense a bit. The youngsters looked confused. A scandalized Jaebeom just gasped.

"OH, you didn't know yet?! What an innocent pumpkin you are, Choi Youngjae. So many things you don't know about Markie here. He's gotta be bipolar or something!" Lee laughed out loud as Mark flinched beside him.

"Hyung, is he saying what I think he is saying?" Yugyeom looked crushed as he glanced at a tormented Mark who still remained silent.

"Good God! That's the second crime we are not going to report then." Youngjae sighed deeply, still conscience-stricken by the fact that Mark's rape was never denounced.

"Markie really did a number on that stupid actor. And of course, I was the one who had to clean up his mess. I made Jinyoung's ex keep his mouth shut. He was ready to send Mark's ass to prison, but he changed his mind after I threatened his life at the hospital. He told me what happened in that toilet. Believe me when I tell you that my blood boiled after I heard the whole story. I could've killed him, but I actually like his acting style. To be honest, I hope he gets back to his feet soon, I'm looking forward to his next film." Lee Tae-U looked delighted to see the group so stupefied.

"Stay away from Kwon, you bastard." Jinyoung chimed in.

"Are you still defending that dirtbag? Why don't you tell your boyfriend what his ex did to you, Mark? A great man once said, 'our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.' Bullies remain bullies because they know they'll get away with their obnoxious attitude." Lee argued as he turned to the disconcerted American who was unable to utter any coherent words.
