Namjoon paced back and fort trying not to let his anger overcome him. Tears were stinging at his eyes, everyone in the room was silent at what was going on. Hoseok had called Taehyung, Jungkook, Yoongi, and Jimin over to Mark's apartment to explain what had happened. Jackson was alone in Mark's room and locked himself in there not wanting to come out.

"We can't just sit here and do nothing" Jimin spoke up looking at all the glum faces.

"There has to something we can do" Yoongi mumbled beside him.

"We can't call the police and file for a missing person because it hasn't even been 24 hours yet!" Namjoon yelled but used his breathing exercise he learned from his anger management classes to calm him down. "I'm sorry I just don't know how this could happen."

Jungkook got up from Taehyung's lap and hugged Namjoon as that was the only thing he could do.

"Yoongi's right there has to be something we could do but what?" Jaebum asked pulling at his hair in frustration. Jinyoung pulled his hands away from his hair and held them. Jaebum gave him a small smile grateful that Jinyoung could make him smile at a time like this.

Jackson finally barged out of Mark's room holding a notebook in his hands.

"Mark planned this" he whispered as his hands were trembling. Bambam took a hold of the notebook and gasped.

Curious, Namjoon got up and looked to see what the notebook contained. The first thing he noticed was the cursive writing. It was so pretty it was almost perfect. In fact it made the word perfect an understatement.

Diary entry #67

It's finally happening journal! I'm finally going to get the happiness I've been looking for. Jin doesn't know this yet but tomorrow we're going to be together and now no one can tear us apart! I'm sure he'll get use to the change so that won't be a problem. I can't wait to hold him in my arms and cuddle him. We can be happy together. I'm sorry Namjoon but I win at this game. Game over.

Namjoon stared in horror at what he just read.

"Someone needs to explain what the fuck is going on with Mark right now" Namjoon snarled looking around the room waiting for someone to answer.

"Hey calm down what's in the journal?" Jinyoung asked feeling his defensive side kick in.

"Your freak of a friend fucking planned this all out. Is he sick or some shit?" Namjoon spit out as he was too angry to see his words were venomous.

Jaebum had enough.

Jaebum practically lunged across the room to pin Namjoon to the wall flames in his eyes. Namjoon was terrified.

"Look I may not know you but no one fucking talks about my friend that way you understand me?" Jaebum told him as he held him in place just staring into Namjoon's soulless eyes.

"Jaebum that's enough" Jinyoung said from behind him in a gentle tone. Jaebum wanted to choke Namjoon but once he felt Jinyoung's hand on his shoulder he let go and walked out the door. Jinyoung followed leaving the room silently.

The room was even more tense than before but Youngjae knew he had to speak up.

"Mark....there's always been something wrong with him but it's not his fault he's this way" Youngjae spoke feeling everyone's eyes on him. He continued either way as Hoseok held him showing that he's there right beside him. "Umm we noticed at the end of eight grade but he didn't want to tell us anything until something happened...with his parents."

"What Youngjae is trying to say is that his father had a record for being abusive and well he beat his mother so severely he- he killed her. That's when we found out he was doing the same to Mark. Mark was only 14 so he had to be fostered but it wasn't great there either."

Jackson had to take breather as he was getting worked up thinking what they could of done to him. It made him furious because he knew Mark the real one and he did not deserve any of what he went through.

"His foster parents they didn't physically harm him but they mentally hurt him. They messed with his brain and made him feel worthless. There was even a point where they didn't feed him and told him he didn't deserve to live."

Namjoon felt remorse towards Mark. All of them did.

"Mark told me it didn't hurt him because he was already hurt too many times so it just felt numb to him. Before his eighteen birthday we all pitched in and rented him an apartment so he could get away from that toxic place. Then me and Youngjae decided to live with too so we could keep an eye on him."

"I know this is a lot to take in. We didn't know it would get this serious. All his feelings he just kept bottling in and it was too late to stop him" Bambam spoke. Everyone was silent taking in all what was said when the apartment door burst open with the jj couple.

"Guys we found out the direction they headed! We can possibly find out where they are! Jinyoung and I can hack into the city's camera system, we took two or three classes about it" Jaebum shouted with a wide smile.

With what little hope they had it grew in that instant second everyone getting excited they could find their friends.

Namjoon felt bad for the way he acted earlier and he couldn't just ignore it.

"Hey before we do anything I just want to say that I'm sorry. I didn't mean to call Mark those...words" Namjoon spoke scratching his head as he always does that when he's nervous. "I understand if you don't forgive me or whatever I was harsh but I did not mean to. I'm really sorry guys."

Jaebum walked up to him with a serious face scaring Namjoon but sighed in relief once Jaebum cracked a smile at him.

"Things happen and sometimes we can't control ourselves. Just to let you know I was holding myself back there and that takes a lot so if that ever happens again I will not hesitate to punch you" Jaebum replied patting his back.

Namjoon laughed. Jaebum was not joking.
