「BLACK MARKET」 jeon jungkookー

•2•

-Taehyungs p.o.v;-

I pull up just outside and park my van discretely.

She was screaming half the way here, I had to pull over and wack her with the bat.

Since then she's been out cold.

I get out and open the back of the van, seeing a passed out, half naked Jisu.

Droplets and streaks of blood are everywhere.

There's even blood on her hands, which she used while trying to claw away, so there are numerous bloody hand prints on the floor and walls.

I spread my arms out and scoop her up, then carry her bridal style to the door, which is at the bottom of those cold concrete steps.

I remember their inhospitality like it was yesterday.
The result?
I almost died.

But it wasn't my fault.
Its not like I chose this for myself.
But I have to protect my family.

I managed to carry her with just one hand, and knocked on the door 3 times.

A small slit flew open at eye level.

Two dark eyes, framed by wrinkles appeared.

They looked me up and down.

" Password?"

I almost chuckle..

To think...

You can get into this building filled with highly illegal activities inside, as well as dead bodies and a wing of the black market...

The same way as getting into a kids hide out.

" Black dragon."

The slit shuts.

Then the door opens ever so slightly.

I slip in.

I go down the dark halls, between dark figures, and prostitutes.

Every type of sinner and beggar.

And everyone in between.

At the end of the long hall, a large space.
Enclosed by concrete walls, 5 meters high.

Wall to wall, were stalls and tents, all selling things you wouldn't find out in the open.

Everything from drugs to human parts.

The further in you got, the more strange the objects and living things became.

At the very end, his tent.

A large black tent made from sheets and stakes.

Probably the biggest one here.

It needed to be.

What he sells is big.

I enter through the slit of fabric at the front.

It leads me through strings of beads.

Inside is dark, incense burns making it smell intense. It almost covers the smell of sweat and alcohol.

I carry her through to a new room.

One which I've never seen any alike.

The walls are black sheets, on the floor are numerous patterned rugs.
I almost choke on incense.
But the most prominent things in all the room?

Ginormous golden bird cages, 4 along each wall, and 1 at the opposite wall.

Inside each one?

A woman.
