~Dance with me in the moonlight~ || Jung Hoseok [Mafia ff]

Chapter one

"Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to my ship!!!"

Everyone cheer at the man standing on the platform inside the ballroom. Too loud for me.

"This is my latest work, a cruise ship I have been working on for quite a long time. It has everything that's needed. A luxury traveling ship for all of you to enjoy. Today marks its first sail and I'm glad you all came here to have fun with me. Let's party!!!" He raises his wine glass.

"Tsk, dickhead."

"Yoojin! Language, we have kids here." Eric shushes him. "You see this man Ria? His name is Leonard Lee. Half Korean and half Italian. He is a powerful warship merchant."

"Didn't he say a traveling ship?" I'm confused, did I hear wrong?

Yoojin sighs "Well, this one may or may not be this kind of ship. You see, he likes to hide his weapons inside the unsuspecting passengers and illegally transfer them to other governments, without anyone knowing. This ship is another work of his to pass unnoticed."

"So, you're saying there are weapons in this ship at the moment?" That's dangerous.

"Relax, you need to get used to it, you will be associating with them from now on."

"This is dangerous! There are so many people on this ship."

"For a seventeen year old brat, you care too much for the sake of others." Yoojin points out.

I look around. Men and women of all kinds, businessmen with their dolled up partners and businesswomen with no one by their side, an act of power, showing they don't need a man to stand strong. All the types of fakeness, all gathered in one place.

I still can't believe it.
Few weeks ago I was lazily sitting in my house while watching tv and reading, not caring for the future and the next minute I was following one crazy man into the unknown who asked me to help him change the world.

Eric really left an impressive image in our first meeting. "Follow me!" Was his words. "And let's make this world a better place for all these people who are daily mistreated like this old granny you just saved". And that's how I followed him.

I know, it sounds stupid, but I did.

What I didn't know was I would be traveling with more than one unknown person. Yoojin was my mentor. When Eric said I would be taught under someone's wings I thought it would be him. But, he passed me to his right hand. He wanted me to help Yoojin open up to women again. For some reason I didn't know, he didn't like women and he made sure I knew from the beginning. But me being me, I couldn't allow him to win, so I annoyingly stuck by his side. He still hasn't given in but he at least accepts me as his student and teaches me.

As I knew, the organization I was going to be part of was named Gaia. A big organization helping the weak and everyone needing help. Something like a military for humans, without country borders. It was created many years ago by Eric and Yoojin's great grandfathers and won the favors of many governments around the world. Even so, it was still working in shadows, not many people knew about it and everyone associating with never spoke a word to public. If someone needed help, either they would be introduced to the organization by an acquainted or Gaia would find them themselves.

When Eric came of age, he inherited the leadership while Yoojin became the second in command. Eric being the commander couldn't take me fully as his student. He was teaching me at any given chance.

Yoojin had another student before me. Nick was his name. Personality? Well, he was a mix of Eric and Yoojin, since he grew with them. The first one was a bright and cheerful person, while the second was the serious one, the dark one. Nick was both when the situation commanded it. I was getting along with him pretty well despite the big gap of age. He was twenty four.
