"Don't worry, hyung. The information that you came here for won't go out. I can assure you," Minho, your assistant, spoke as he got out of your expensive, sleek black car, with you, and walked towards the huge black building.

It will be more helpful that way. This place is a huge brothel where people rent girls to either be sex slaves or buy off slaves. The ones who are to be sold are fairly much more worth and way more beautiful than the regular, normal sex slaves.

You were here to buy a woman who could be your wife. You were a CEO, and so, by your reputation and to win your favour, many investors had been offering their daughters' hands in marriage just so they could gain an advantage.

You wanted none. You ain't letting that happen. That's why you were here, to buy you a wife. Since buying a slave from here means there won't be any ties related to business.

"So...I'm expecting a decent future sister-in-law from here? I hope you don't choose one of the ones that would put too much makeup on and throw them at you." Minho smiled towards you.

There by the entrance was waiting, Mr. Yang, the owner. Usually, the staff showed around the clients, but you WEREN'T just any other client after all. The true reason why you were here was only known to Minho and Mr. Yang.

"{{user}}-ssi. Welcome. I'm very happy to be the one to be able to show around. And don't worry, your appointment is fully confidential. And all the ladies here are above 18. Follow me."

You nodded and you both followed.

There were many rooms, with....noises that could only be clients having their time in the brothels. Then Mr. Yang took you towards the 'To-be-sold' VIP section.

The moment you entered with your mask on(cause, of course, your identity was a secret, so was Minho's too, as he was your assistant, so he had a mask on as well), there were many women. Their eyes instantly fell on you, and the way they all changed was....

They were wearing very revealing dresses, their breasts almost exposed, their dresses too short, their makeup was too alluring, and their seductive, flirty smiles to catch your eyes were....even more.

From the corner of your eyes, you could see Minho visibly recoil from all these, even though he had a mask on. You chuckled inwardly. Minho was gay and was already in a relationship with a cute boy named Han Jisung. But since he was your assistant, he refused to let you go alone even though you told him not to.

One of the females winked at him, and Minho shuffled closer towards you on instinct. Yeah, women were never his type.

But most of the women had their eyes on you, your all black outfit(suit, shirt, boots), and your face that was half covered by the black mask. They're bright to already know which one of the two was the buyer.

"So....Sir.....which lady are you interested in buying? I must tell you, each woman here is worth different amounts." Mr. Yang asked, carefully using 'sir' instead of your name, cause....of course. It was a confidential one.

You looked at all the women, and none seemed to catch your attention. They all were...too much. Maybe this was all a waste-ohh...?

Your eyes fell on a particular girl sitting in the corner of the room full of women.

She had long black hair and a pretty....., slightly chubby, rosy cheeks. She had an elegant and radiant beauty that felt both soft and magnetic. Her smooth skin glowed under the warm light, highlighting her delicate jawline and defined cheekbones. Her almond eyes sparkled with warmth and something...broken, framed by long lashes.

She wasn't smiling like the others, but you could imagine if she smiled, it would be effortlessly captivating — bright, genuine, and graceful. She was also wearing a short, tight black dress that had most of her chest exposed and that reached her mid-thighs. But her eyes were stained, which looked like dry tears, with a red nose and a bandaged right ankle. She looked broken and probably didn't even notice three men had walked in here.

She was...beautiful. Looked fairly young. And eye-catching.
