five.

I was seventeen when I found Luna and she was ten

11 years ago

We were now underground where the auction was currently taking place. This auction is very quite unique since they don't sell things but... humans

Humans for slaves

My father sent me here in North Korea to capture such people. People were actually bidding for the humans which they label as "their slaves" they were all wearing masks like what a coward would do

The slaves that were getting sold were children that ages to 6 to 10. Their eyes were all empty like they've finally lost their will to live and fight back. They had chains on their hands, feet, and neck to supress them from escaping

They were just kids but they've already gone through so much

These people are monsters to even bid to buy them and the people keeping them to sell them are much more worse than a devil

My hand turned into fists as I watched the disgusting sight, but I have to control my anger. They will suffer for what they did, and I will make sure they do.

"Now! This one is the final product for today. From all of the slaves that undergone through the excessive torture experiment. Out of 50 slaves, she was the only survivor. Everyone! I present to you, Dalae!"

Dalae? That name literally means moon child. It's not an ugly name but it's quite rare.

A little girl walked in front of the stage. Her long jet black hair that reaches the ground, the bruises on her feet and hands were all visible. They really tortured her that much

She stops in front everyone, eyes on the ground, staring into nothing. The person in charge started to starts the bid and everyone was interested in this slave

No normal child can possibly pass the excessive torture but she passed it, alive

People started to bid for the child very desperately

"Sir, we've successfully infiltrated the surroundings. We'll make sure no one that participated in this auction escapes."

One of my men said through the earpiece that I had in my ear all along. "Good Work" I say

I turned my eyes towards the stage again and saw that the little kid was staring directly at me

I froze

The way she is looking at me seems like she knew what I was planning, like she noticed it just by observing me. I couldn't help but to gulp. I never knew a mere kid's eyes can look so intimidating like that

"One hundred billion won!" That person is the highest bidder so far, no one spoke after that. The man grinned ear to ear for being the highest bidder

"Okay! Sold-" just when the auctioneer was about to use his gavel to close the bidding, I raise my hand

"A trillion won"

Everyone went quiet and the man who was the biggest bidder earlier turned around to look at me, anger burning in his eyes as he didn't even tried to hide his irritation

"Okay! Sold for a trillion won!" The loud bang of the gravel indicates that the bid has now come to a close

Well, I can bid much higher than that because I don't need to pay since I'll be destroying this auction

"Begin." I told my men through my earpiece. I stood up and made my way to the little girl on the stage, the auctioneer looked at me with bewilderment

"Sir, you'll have to wait after the auction ends you will claim your slave" I shove him to the side and stopped in front of the little girl

"You're safe now" I smiled at her. She didn't say anything but only stared at me

Gunshots erupted from the corner and everyone in the auction screamed in fear as they crouched down with their hands covering their head. I turned towards the auctioneer, face in fear as he realized what kind of situation he is in

I slowly walk towards the mic the auctioneer was using earlier to give my speech to these criminals

"Hello," the mic feedbacks and I paused to look at their terrified faces "I'm Jongin, you can call me Kai for short and you're all under arrest"

That was the end of my speech and I signaled my men to arrest them. I crouched down to the little girl and freed her feet, hands, and neck from the chains

I wss about to say something to her when a loud bang erupted, and it wasn't one of my men

I turned to look at what was happening and there was a lot of unidentified people that were weading a hood

Shit, they knew we were coming to infiltrate this auction

It was one of our enemies from North Korea, they've been on our tail ever since we've arrived here. It's getting kind of annoying that they can find us anywhere in North Korea

"Get that young boy, alive" he was reffering to me. My men tried to fight them off so they can't get to me but we were outnumbered

Luckily for them, I didn't bring any guns with me and I only brought this dagger. I looked at it with a hopeless expression and gave out a loud sigh. I decided to just put my dagger back into my pockets

"S-Sir" My men tapped my shoulder, telling me that I should look at something or someone. My eyes went wide when the little girl was now in front of us, back facing us, with my... dagger?

Since when did she-

My hands went to my pocket to where I put my dagger but it's gone, the dagger I literally was holding earlier. How did she snatch it without me noticing it?

"Pft! How cute!" The enemy stared at her petite figure and laugh at it, thinking it was utterly ridiculous for a ten year old girl to be of a threat to them

He walked towards the girl and pats her head, "You could get hurt, little girl" he smiled at her

She's going to be in danger...!

Just when I was about to approach her to save her, the man that was patting her head falter back and scream in pain as he held his wrist tightly

The gun he was holding was now on the ground since the little girl slashed his wrists, destroying his ability to grip his weapon. He stumbles back and glared deadly at the girl

He was about to run up to her but in a blink of an eye he drops down to the ground, his quadriceps bleeding making him kneel in front of the little girl

The man grunts in pain and she raised the dagger and slashed the side of his neck, that was one of the vital parts that can immediately kill someone, as if she already knew or maybe she does already know

We watched as she took the man's life with her own bare hands

"Go" I commanded my men, and they nodded. We took this opportunity to attack the enemies that couldn't believe about what the little girl did

She wasn't even scared of seeing blood like any other kids would do

I might have just save the life of a little devil

I decided to take her in Elite since she had nowhere else to go and there's no information about her family

The first few days she couldn't speak, I think the excessive torture the auction did on her gave her trauma, unable to speak like she's mute

She's a wise kid. Instead of playing with the other kids, laughing, and making memories she goes to read books instead

The first words she uttered was "Luna" the italian word for moon. She probably got it from one of the books she was reading, so I named her that

It was weird because the auctioneer called her Dalae which meant moonchild and now her first word is Luna which is moon. I don't know what she has for moons but I guess it has something to say about her past

LUNA
I arch my back as I badly tried to prevent myself from not peeing on the bed. I NEED TO GO TO THE GOD DAMN BATHROOM

Unfortunately for me, this room is heavily sound proof maybe because this room's purpose is where you fuck with someone and it's not really helping my situation right now, at all

I squeezed my legs together and bit my lip

I hope someone opens that door right now and help me with my problem

I stared intently at the door, shooting daggers at it. As if staring at the door can magically opens it with someone to assist me

But I think the Gods heard my desperate urine plea because the doorknob twsits and opened

It was Felix

For the first time, I'm thankful he's actually here. "I need to go to the bathroom" I straightforwardly stated

"Hello to you too" he smiled, he eyes my legs that were pressed together

Please don't tell me he's thinking dirty thoughts right now when my bladder is now in the verge of exploding

"Let me go to the bathroom if you don't want me to wet this bed" my choice of words weren't exactly that wise as his lips curves up to a small smirk

"I never said I didn't want you to wet the bed, after all it's purpose is getting wet not by urine but by-"

"OKAY I GET IT!" I yelled and he only laughed at me, I probably look so ridiculous right now

His mouth is much worse than Jooyeon's

He fished out the keys for the chains from his pockets and starts to play with it as he made his way to me

I sighed in relief when he was about to release me from the chains, "If you try to escape I'm not going to hesitate to kill you"

He whispered, breath hitting the back of my ear. "Understood" was all I could say, I really didn't care anymoe. As long as I can go to the bathroom, I'm good

Felix led me to the bathroom and I went in, locking the door behind me

We never know what he's capable of doing, might as well be prepared.

I gave a loud sigh of satisfaction, it was more like a moan to be honest. The feeling you get when you're holding your urine for too long and you finally get to release it, it's just so satisfying that you can't help but to moan

I stood up and washed my hands then unlocked the door to go out of the bathroom

Felix was outside, waiting for me to finish, he was leaning against the wall while his arms were crossed and his eyes closed

Why is his gaurd down when I'm his prisoner? I could just escape anytime

I smirked to myself. It's actually a great time to escape

I slowly closed the door, being careful to not make any sound that could catch the attention of the unguarded Felix

As soon as I closed the door without any noise, I started to walk in silence in the other direction that will lead me to the stairs

Feeling the sense of freedom, my foot greeted the cold staircase but only for a brief moment after someone abruptly grabs me by the waist

A strong firm arm pulled me to him, "Were you trying to escape just now?"

"No. I want water so me, being an independent woman, started to look where the kitchen is myself" I shot him my composed facial expression look

"Hm, is that so?" He wasn't buying it because he was smirking, amused by how I'm so good at lying

"Yeah. Can I go back to the room now? I would like to rest" He released me and I walked to where the room, my cell, was

Felix followed me from behind as I got into my room. I obediently sat myself at the bed again and waited for him to chain me up again

"I won't chain you up anymore" he suddenly says which made me look at him in a puzzled expression, "It's not really gentleman-like to chain a beautiful woman like you"

I gave him a bored look. He's funny, didn't he already chain me up? He just realized that now that it's not 'gentleman-like' to chain a woman up??

Is this dudes brain missing a few cells?

I won't even try to argue, "okay" I slid myself in the blankets

I heard him slightly chuckling after going out of the room and locking it. He's just doing this because he finds me entertaining, and I'm very aware of it

For now, I'll just wait for Kai to make his move. I'm not really expecting them to rescue me immediately but I'm sure that girl, Aira, had already spilled the beans to Kai

I'm not really anticipating the day Kai rescues me because Im a hundred percent sure I won't get to escape his never ending speech of scolding me

He'll definetely give me a lot of work when he's able to successfully rescue me

And I'm not looking forward to it
