Safekeeping (Jumin x Reader)

1: Sold

Up here again, waiting for some old, ugly billionaire to decide I'm just his taste. You thought bitterly. Except tonight was different. Tonight would be the last time that this would happen, hopefully. You were being sold, permanently.

Why do I even bother coming to this disgusting mess of a black market auction. There's nothing here I want. And I don't particularly want to network with monsters who like this sort of thing. Jumin Han knew exactly why he was here though. He came to make sure there were no humans for sale, and if there were, he would buy them and help them however he could. That at least, was the plan. It only happened twice in all the times he had come to the auction and both times, he was able to simply send the people straight from the auction to a safe house. Nevertheless, he was irritated to even be here so late. It was two in the morning and he still had work tomorrow. Groaning, he awaited the final auction to start.

"Tonight we have a very special ware. No name, no past and certified virgin, we have a young female with us today! Let's start the bidding at the usual per body part price of 46 million or 52,111,000,000 won. Who wants to be the first?"

He was stunned. The woman on the stage was absolutely stunning. He knew he had to save her but... he wanted more than that as well. Multiple hands shot up before Jumin even knew what was happening. You however, were an old pro so to speak. You twirled and put on a fake smile. That's what they wanted to see, and you weren't about to be punished for doing anything else.

"75 million." Jumin finally spoke up. This was more expensive than usual, since "the ware" was in better condition than the last few times. He certainly had the money to spend, but it would mean money would be a little tighter for the next year. More business deals had to be made and more money needed to be saved.

I'll have to ask the RFA to cut back a little bit on their spending. Jumin thought as he waited to see if anyone was willing to out bid him. No one would and he knew it. Regardless of the masks they all wore, it was quite obvious that it was Jumin Han of C&R International and making a bid that high was claiming his prize. No one dared to challenge him. Just how he liked it.

"Sold! To bidder #53! Please collect her backstage after the final comments!"

And then what should I do? Jumin thought to himself. I feel so... odd. I know I absolutely must save her... but I don't want to let her go quite yet.

Oh wow. You were thinking as you were guided off stage. He's... not old. You thought on it a bit more and then cringed. Probably a total creep. We'll see. I'll escape him no matter what. I can do it this time. I can make it.
