Two for one

Chapter 2

"Get up, you idiots... It's time.. It's the day... we have to go now... hurry the fuck up, I don't have all day.." - the man said loudly.

Today was going to be hard.
Today was the day. The day where we get taken to a place surrounded by a hundred men and auctioned off to being theirs for life and till the day we die.

I never got picked. No one ever wanted me. And I just wished that someone would take me away from here. All I wish was for someone to take me to their home, where I'm hoping it's better than this place. Where I won't be beaten because they were frustrated or angry at something. Where I got to eat food that was hot and yum. Where I got to talk to someone who actually wanted to talk to me. Where I had proper clothes on my body to warm me up. Where I had someone love me the way I have never been loved before. I just wish that today is my day that someone sees me. Picks me... and gets me out if this hell hole.

ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ

There were about 5 of us, and this time, I was one of the 5 that was picked. Today is the day to see if maybe I finally get to go home with someone else.

I'm just hoping that this someone is a nice person.

ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ

The auction had started, bets kept going higher, and a few of them had gone to their forever homes with a random person they had never met before., but one did not get to go anywhere, no one put bets on him..,

And then it came to me...

ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ

"This is Jimin everyone, this will be the last on the list for today, so do place your bets, and let's see if this one has a home..."

Some guys looked at me and looked as if I was disgusting. Some didn't even look at me, but that's normal. It's happened before.

Just like the last time I was in this place, no one wanted me. No one placed bets. No one at all looked at me with eyes that said 'your coming home, with me...'

Then, there was a sudden silence within the room. No one made a noise, not even the guy that held me with him for 2 years. Everyone just stayed completely silent.

The man that silenced the room sat down on a chair and looked at me, then someone else walked in and sat down next to him.. a few more guys walked in but did not sit they just stood there watching everything go down..

Soon, the bets were made, and it was time for me to find out if I had a home.

"Before we announce who made the larger bet, I'd like to let you know that once everything is done here, we will be moving on and not coming back. This is the last time you will see us here.." the man said to everyone who had been here.

The announcement was made but without anyone knowing who it was., but I finally had a home, but before anything was sorted, I was taken to a room in the back. Where I was looked over and checked like a doctor would do to you if needed, and so that is what I was getting.

ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ

I did not know who bet on me or why, but I was getting out of this place that I did not question anyone or anything. I just did as I was told. Which made everything go quicker. I believe the person who bet on me took the money to the person who held me, so after I was checked and told that I was healthy I was moved to another room and had been told to wait there. A few minutes go by, and someone else walks in with a guy who looks as if he had been in this place just as long as I have. And he was left in this room with me alone.

We were here alone for about 30 minutes, and so I introduced myself and started a conversation with him, not knowing if he understood me or could hear, but I initiated the conversation.

"Hi, my name is Jimin. What's yours..?".
I asked quietly enough that only he could hear me. He did not answer me, so I asked him something else..
"Why are you in this room with me?". Again, he did not answer.
So I did not speak again. The room went silent after that. All you could hear was the breathing from either side of the room.

He looked scared, just as scared as I was. He was bruised on his arms, just like I was.. he looked hurt so badly that I knew he had come from the same place I did. I knew then that maybe I'm the only person he might be able to trust. So I spoke one more time to see if maybe I would get something from him, or maybe just an answer at least.

"Did you get picked to be auctioned off? Did you come from the same place I did.".
I asked with a terrified tone in my voice. I was scared. And then a second later, I heard him speak very quietly. But I heard it.
"Y--yeah I did.. and m--my name is T--taehyung. " He stuttered, which meant that he was either born with it or brought on by being here.

I don't blame him. This place is a hell hole. It's the most unhealthy place anyone could be brought to and placed here to live. The most scary thing that could ever happen to someone as fragile as we are.
