I Love You, But I Lied - Mark Tuan and Got7 Fanfic

Part 12

Jackson

Lei's here? What the fuck is he doing all the way in Korea? Is he following Jess? Does he want her back? Is he still hoping she'll take the marriage offer?

This doesn't sound good. I feel something bad is gonna happen. Lei is too smart to believe Jess and Mark's relationship to be true. Jess is right. If she breaks up with Mark now, Lei's gonna pounce on her and the deal's off. I don't want my uncle and aunt and also my cousin to go down because of his dad's greed. 

But what about Mark? I can't allow her to use him like that. 

"Make sure to break up with him as soon as Lei leaves." I make her promise. 

"Yes." She answers without hesitation. 

Should I just talk to Mark about this? Can I talk him out of this relationship? 

I step out of her room and start dialing Lei. I have to deal with this guy first. 

"Lei? Jackson here." I say after hearing his voice.

 "Jackson, my man. How are you?" He sounds genuinely happy to hear from me. I haven't talked to him in five years. I wonder why I still have his number, though. 

"Stop the crap, Lei. What are you doing in Korea?" He was my friend. But, I have to stick to my family. Right now, he's the family's enemy. His dad, actually, but he's included.  

"Is that how you greet a friend you haven't talked to in years?"

"Shut up and just answer my question. What are you doing here?"

"You've seen Jess?"

"Yes. And she's freaking out because of you. What the fuck, man. Are you after her?"

There is a moment's pause, then, "I still love her, Jackson. I want her back."

"What the fuck! It's too late for that, Lei. She's moved on and so should you. Your dad is messing her family up."

"I know. I swear, Jackson, if I could stop him I would. I don't want to see her suffer."

"You really love her?"

"I do."

"Leave then."

"Jackson..."

"Just do what I say. LEAVE!"

I just hope he listens and leaves. As soon as he does, Jess would leave Mark alone, too, before he gets deeper into the relationship. 

If others hear me, they might think I'm only thinking of Mark. They might think that I don't care about my cousin. They're wrong. 

I care for her too much that I don't want her to be regretting what she's done. I don't want her to get into something that would cause her trouble in the future. 

I think she still have feelings for Lei, although she won't admit it. Maybe not forgiving him for a mere dare wasn't the best thing for her. It left her heartless.

Lei

Why should I leave? I'm not going anywhere. Not without her. I would only go back to China if I take her with me. My dad would kill me for staying here longer, but I don't care anymore. He can take all his money to his grave. I just want her. 

My secretary comes in late that afternoon with yet another order from my dad. 

"He says, since you're here, you should check the resort down South."
