"You motherfucker." The singer spat, as he lunged for Jia Er, but the American got between them. He gave his husband a reassuring look and turned to his ex.

"We won't let you force our friend to leave us. You cannot dictate what Jacks does with his life. We're on his side and we are not gonna cast him away." Mark added confidently.

"Is that so? That's very cute. But look at you, man! You decided to stay just to pester me around. I even asked nicely! You still have an unscathed husband by your side. Just cherish that, Yi-en. Next time I get mad, you might lose him." He said in Chinese, knowing that only Mark was able to understand him.

"You do not threaten my husband! You touch him again and I'll fucking send you to hell myself! I'm not afraid of you anymore. I'm not that Yi-en you messed up in Macao." the American retorted in Chinese. While the others just eyed them weirdly.

"Mark, what is he saying?" Jinyoung asked, seeing how worked up his husband was becoming.

"It doesn't matter. He's just trying to scare us." The American answered, his tone a bit softer when his eyes met his husband's.

"Can you at least translate to us what he is saying?" JB sounded desperate. He wouldn't be able to mediate that situation without even knowing what was being said.

"It's not worth it." Mark sighed, let go of Jinyoung's hand and approached Jia Er's chair.

"What is it, are you about to send me to hell now?" Jia Er asked intrigued, holding Mark's gaze.

"Let's have a private chat, just you and I." Mark finally said in Korean and everyone at the table was vigorously against the idea.

"Hyung, you're not going anywhere with this guy, period." Yugyeom stated as he got up from his chair. Jinyoung just shook his head at his husband, letting him know that he wouldn't let that happen either.

"He's co-conscious now, Yi-En. Your poor Ka-yee is afraid for you. He can see and hear what's going on now, just because I want him to. Actually, I'd love to show him what I could do to you once we get some privacy. Are you sure you wanna be alone with me now?" Jia Er stood up and towered over the American.

"I don't know what the fuck you're saying to him, but you'd better not be crossing the line." Jinyoung came between the two. Mark put a hand on the singer's shoulder and gave him a soothing look.

"Trust me, I can handle him." Mark said as he grabbed Jia Er's arm, and walked away from them, despite the protests of his husband and members. Jinyoung and Yugyeom were about to follow them but JB kept the duo from doing it.

"They are not leaving the company. With the attention we're getting these days, Mark knows that talking to him in this building is the best option right now. Jia Er won't dare to hurt him here. There's people everywhere. Let's trust our hyung and wait. He has his cellphone with him. I have a GPS phone tracker, we're not losing sight of them, I promise. If they are crazy enough to leave JYPE we'll know it, and we'll chase after them." The leader paused, took a deep breath and continued. "Listen, all our plans have failed! We can't help Jackson if he doesn't let us. We are out of options here. I know we all resent him somehow, but we can't turn our backs on the guy while he's in this state! Maybe Mark can make him come around. Let's be patient." The leader assured the youngsters and although Jinyoung still looked worried, he was able to fight the urge to run after the pair.

"If something happens with my husband you'll answer to me, Jaebeom-ah!" Jinyoung hissed at the leader, giving him a death glare.

"Calm down hyung, they'll be back soon, you'll see." Youngjae chimed in.
