Jackson slumped in the front seat of the car. He was currently waiting for Mark outside of the studio. He thought about what he had told his mother. She broke down in tears. Jackson had never been away from home his entire life and she wasn't sure how to handle it. He promised her that he would be safe and he would call her everyday to keep her updated, but that only made things worse. He didn't want to leave home, but there was nothing he could do. This was his job now and he made a promise to Jinyoung. He couldn't get out of this one. Jackson had left his house with all his things packed, he couldn't stick around to her his mother cry anymore. It broke his heart. He sighed, closing this eyes. Things were getting harder since he meet Mark. It wasn't at all what he wanted, but he would definitely make it worth his while.

Mark walked out of the studio with a black mask covering his face. He meant to call Jackson but he was worried about being spotted. He pulled his hood over his head and pulled his phone out of his pocket. He would have to go back inside and wait for Jackson. He pressed the speed dial number that he had used just for Jackson. The phone rang once before the younger picked up. "I'm outside." Jackson spoke softly. He hung up. Mark looked down at his phone. What was going on with Jackson? Mark looked for the black car that Jackson was driving. He groaned, seeing that the car was only a few feet away from him. He was so worried about being spotted by the paparazzi that he wasn't looking at all his surroundings. He quickly ran to the car and got in. Jackson turned to look at the older. "How did the meeting with Jinyoung go?" Mark sighed.

"I was in the tabloids again. Featuring a certain manager." Jackson sighed, knowing Mark was talking about him. He had already seen that magazine when he stopped for lunch. Everyone was talking about it. "Jinyoung said that I can't be printed again or else I'll be put on probation." Jackson nodded. This could be his chance to help out Jinyoung. Then he could be free.

"It's a good thing that we're going overseas for a bit. It'll give Jinyoung a break and you won't have to worry about the Korean tabloids. American paparazzi won't really know you and they won't be looking out for you the whole time. I'll make sure you don't go on probation." Mark looked over at Jackson slightly. He didn't know why Jackson was trying to help him so much. He had only put the younger through hell since they meet. Maybe there was something that Mark was missing. He kinda liked this side of Jackson. It was mysterious and he wanted to know more.
