The Baddest Bidder (Taekook)
Episode 1
Amidst the enthusiastic chatter of the crowd, a bright spotlight shines down upon me.
I'm locked inside a gigantic birdcage that's set right in the centre of a stage. The masked audience stares at me.
Auctioneer
And now for the last item up for bid, our grand finale!!
Auctioneer
A young, healthy Korean man!
Auctioneer
Keep him as your slave, keep him as your toy... Do whatever you please with him... it's truely upto you.
Auctioneer
And now we will start bidding.
Auctioneer
I have $500,000 from #5. $1million from #30.$1.2 million from #24
One by one, the masked bidders hold up their cards in the circular arena. I can't believe it, but I've been put up auction
Jungkook
*in mind* It's hard to believe it was just a normal day at work awhile ago. How in the world did this happen!!?
Jungkook
*swing open the door to the locker*
I work as a manservant at a hotel owned by the Kim group, which is a large company that owns banks and trading companies in Korea and has many affiliate companies overseas.
Ji-Hoon
The V. I.P. convention starts today! I'm so pumped! *greeted him with a smile*
We're the same age and really close;I can confide in him about anything
Jungkook
I bet you will be busy since you work on the casino floor.
Jungkook
Since I'm in charge of the regular guest rooms, I doubt today will be any different for me.
I work at the "The Paradise Inn. , Korea's first legal casino and hotel, which was built five years ago when casinos were legalized in Korea
Jungkook
I wish I could work at I. V. C. too.
Ji-Hoon
That's the goal of everyone who works here.
Jungkook
I've been dreaming about it ever since I saw the party on TV.
Ji-Hoon
Movie stars, Top athelets.. super famous people from all over the world come to this party!
Ji-Hoon
I applied here not thinking I'd get hired, So I thought I was dreaming when I did.
Ji-Hoon
OMG! what if some rich , famous girl/guy falls in love with me at first sight??!
Jungkook
Haha. Keep dreaming😂
Our V. I. P. guests are important, but I have to work hard for our regular guests too.
I. V. C., The International V. I. P. Convention, The Paradise's largest event is approaching, attaching tons of international publicity. It's busier and even more tenser around here than usual
We leave the locker room and head to the hotel Lobby, where a crowd of reporters and onlookers have gathered
People I have only seen on TV start appearing one after the other.
Ji-Hoon
Oh my god, Kookie! Look who just got out of that Limo.
Ji-Hoon
That guy is always on the VIP lists. They call him the king!
Jungkook
What? Where, where!!? 👀
Eventhough I hate getting caught up in celebrity gossip, I can't help but join Hooni (Ji-Hoon) to try to get a glimpse
I saw a tall man walking along, surrounded by women on both sides
(That's Do Sang Woo,The famous model and Han Hye-Jin, The actress. All the women around him are famous.... )
Ji-Hoon
He's been living in the Penthouse suite for a while now.
Jungkook
What!!?.. it costs tens of thousands of dollars to stay for just one night!
Jungkook
*in mind* I wonder what he does for living..
He pays no attention to the huge crowd and just walks straight ahead. I can't take my eyes off of him.
Women:-Kyaah! Taehyung is here!!
A group of women start running and bump into me and pushed me right out of the crowd!
I'm just about to fall when the man they call the King catches my body, practically hugging me
Groupie A:- Hey, what do you think you are doing!?
Groupie B:- How dare you touch Taehyung!!?
Jungkook
I-im really sorr-...
Taehyung
Get out of the way.
Taehyung
*suddenly pull away from him*
Jungkook
*fall flat on his butt to the ground*
Taehyung
*brushes off his suit, shoots him a glare and then disappear into the hotel. *
Jungkook
*in mind* That scared me...
Jungkook
*rubbing his lower back, left the crowd*
Ji-Hoon
*came running towards him*
Ji-Hoon
Are you okay, kookie!?
Jungkook
Yeahh.. I'm fine..
Ji-Hoon
The king caught you in his arms! I'm so jealous! did he smell good!?
Jungkook
I dunno.. I don't really remember...
He actually seemed very frightening... I've never had a stranger glare at me Soo coldly before.
Jungkook
*smoothe out his clothes and heard the click-clack of high heels behing him*
???

Episode 2
???
Just what were you thinking?.. making a fool out of yourself!
???
I'm front of such an important guest!?
???
Just what were you thinking!?
Three women stood imposingly in front of him
There's Ji-Yoo, who for some reasons.. never like jungkook
and twins Eun Ae and Eun Ai, who practically never leave her side..
All the three ladies have worked longer than jungkook...
Jungkook
I'm sorry, it was a accident...
Ji-Yoo
It was your fault for not paying attention to what was going on around you!
Ji-Yoo
You're in the charge of regular guests, anyway!
Ji-Yoo
You have no business even being around VIPs!
Ji-Yoo
Try getting promoted to VIP maid like me and then we will talk!
Eun Ae- Eun Ai
Then we'll talk.
Ji-Yoo
Go to every floor and drop off all the speacial boxes for the guests staying for the spa package!
Jungkook
U-um.. you mean all by me.. myself!?
Ji-Yoo
You got a problem with that?
Jungkook
*said goodbye to Ji-Hoon and head towards the elevator that leads to the basement*
He saw a man and women arguing about something in front of the elevator. The women is wearing a dress and she throws a mask at the man.
Women:-I can't take it anymore, it's over. You cheater!
Jungkook
*in mind* Wooah! that looks like a mask you would wear at a masquerade ball. I've seen them before in movies, but never in person.
Jungkook
*staring at the mask that is lying on the floor*
(Here..???.. is for that unknown man)
???
*picked the mask up and brushes it off*
???
*sigh* Now I don't have a date.
When he looked up, his and jungkook's eyes met.
Jungkook
*quickly looked away*
He tried to act cool despite the awkward tension in air, but....
???
You just saw the whole thing! didn't you!?
???
Aw, come on. Don't run away. I'll explain everything when we get there.
Jungkook
Huh!?.. um.. sir!?
Before he knew anything, that man grabs him by the hand and dragged him into the elevator with himself.
They're all alone inside the elevator, but the man isn't showing any sign of letting his hand go.
???
Whew, I'm lucky.. I found another date!
???
There's no way I could go to the party without a beautiful person on my arms.
Jungkook
Party!?.. You are not talking about the I. V. C.! are you!?
???
Isn't it obvious!?.. Just look at me!
Jungkook
I-i didn't mean....
Jungkook
*in mind* So this guy is a VIP guest!?.. I have never seen him before.. but he is wearing such an flashy suit. Maybe he is a model!?
Jungkook
I m really sorry, but I work at this hotel. So I can't go with you to the party, sir!
Jungkook
And what about that other women!?
???
What are you talking about!?.. The reason she left was so I could meet you, preety boy.
???
*grabbed his chin and lifts it up*
His face is sooo close, Jungkook can feel his breathe grazing against him as he peers Him into his eyes.
???
Yeah, you're just my type. This is destiny.
Jungkook
*in mind* Um, we just met. This guy moves fast. I bet that's why he just got dumped.
Before he could finish, the elevator arrives at the ballroom.
Jungkook
Umm...*in mind* Princess!?
Contrary to his soft demeanor, The man dragged him into the elevator before he could protest.
Jungkook
*gasped at the view* So this is the I. V. C. *thought to himself*
A gorgeous chandelier hangs from the high ceiling. The entire floor is jam-packed with the rich and famous.
Jungkook
*in mind* That guy is on korea's Olympic Soccer Team!.. and that's the famous actress, Gong Seun-Jeong!!.. and is that the former Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun over there!?
He is Soo wrapped up in looking around at all the celebrities, and it took him a while to notice that the man who bought him there is gone.
Jungkook
*in mind* Huh!? Where'd he go!?
Suddenly he heard a voice from behind him.
???
Hey, do you have any Champaign!?
Jungkook
*turned around to see a gorgeous man with soft, wavy hairs, whose face just happens to be on this month's issues of "RIPs".
("RIPs" is a popular magazine for womans)
Yoongi/Suga
Oh, you know who I'm!? thanks
Jungkook
.....!! I-im sorry for being so rude!
Jungkook
*in mind* I don't think there is anyone who doesn't know the world famous artist, Min yoongi!
Jungkook
He also works as a model, his face is so beautiful from close up,like a porcelain doll's.... *thought to himself*
Jungkook
I'll go get your champagne right away!
Jungkook
*looked around the ballroom for some champagne*
Yoongi/Suga
You sure you work here!?
Yoongi/Suga
You are looking all around like Alice when she stumbled onto the Mad Hatter's party.
Yoongi/Suga
Nothing. Oh hey, I see some champagne over there on that table.
Yoongi/Suga
I hope you get back home safely, Alice.
Yoongi/Suga
*grinned at him and left with a wave *
Jungkook
*in mind* Alice stumbling onto the Mad Hatter's party!? That sound like something an artist would say.
He decided to get out of there before he cause any more trouble, but suddenly a stocky man stood in his way
???
*grins at him and grabbed his hand*

Episode 3
???
*grins at him and grabbed his hand*
???
Mmm.. I love chiks like you!
???
You wanna come with me to give me some special room service!?.. I will make sure to tip you for the extra work!
His greasy face is flushed as he looks at jungkook from up and down.
Jungkook
I'm sorry sir. But we don't offer that kind of service here.
???
You are preety lucky you met me. My net worth is $500 million
???
*slips arm around his waist and is about to pull jungkook toward him when.....*
Taehyung
This party just got really trashy.
Jungkook
*in mind* The man that I bumped into at the entrance... The King!
Taehyung
*looked at him and scowled*
Taehyung
You are in my way, Move.
Intimidate by his harsh tone, both the sleazebag and jungkook automatically move to make way for Taehyung.
???
I-im sorry, Mr. Kim! Pardon me!
???
*man furiously wipe away his sweat and runs away*
Jungkook
*in mind* Wait.. As in, the Kim Group which owns this hotel!!?
Groupie A:- Let's go, Taehyung!
Groupie B:- Ugh! I just can't stand people who don't know their place!
Taehyung starts walking, still surrounded by woman. Jungkook is overwhelmed by his prescene as he watch him walk away, and suddenly he saw a white glove on the floor behind him
Jungkook
*in mind* Did he drop that!? Isn't this the kind of glove you wear when you handle paintings or artifacts!? Why would he have something like this!?
Jungkook
Um, sir!? Excuse me, sir!!!
He tried to chase after Taehyung, But Tae got lost in the crowd and jungkook can't seem to find him.
(He saw Taehyung go through a door alone towards the back of the ballroom
(ignore the flowers.. please)
Jungkook
*made way through the crowd and followed him*
A long, deserted hallway stretches out behind the door Taehyung enters.
Jungkook
Which room did he go into!?
There are several doors on the either side of the hallway. He heard voices from the farthest room.
Jungkook
Is that Mr. Kim!? *thought to himself*
The door is slightly ajar. He peeked through the gap and.... he see several briefcases lying on a table, Filled with guns and large sums of money. Three men dressed all in black are discussing something.
Jungkook
*in mind* Are they talking in Chinese!? Maybe they are gun smugglers....
He suck in a breathe when suddenly someone roughly grabbed his arm!
???
*pulled him forward, swings him around and forced him up against a wall*
Fear and surprise took hold of him, and he felt like his heart is going to stop.
???
What are you doing here!?
A tall men with his hairs slicked back pins jungkook against the wall, looking down at him with sharp eyes. It all happens so suddenly that his body started trembling.
Jungkook
*in mind* Is he one of them!? What should I do!?
???
You've got five seconds to disappear and forget everything you just saw.
???
Otherwise you will be wiped off the face of this earth.
Jungkook
*desperately nod over and over again*
Jungkook
*ran away so fast that his legs tangled up in each other*
His heart is still racing when he finally reach the basement storage room.
Jungkook
I was so scared.. but I guess that guy just let me go!?.. Should I tell my boss that people are selling guns in the hotel!? But the man said if I didn't forget about it, he'd wipe me off the face of the Earth...What should I do!?*thought to himself*
He is still in shock, his body automatically starts working.
He picked up a cardboard box filled with the sets for the guests and turn the corner when... THUD!!
Jungkook
*ran into something and fell back onto the ground, dropping the box*
He saw two mean looking men peaking inside a wooden crate they dropped on the ground.
Man A:- Ahhh! The statue of Jupiter is broken!
Jungkook
*quickly looked inside the crate and saw a broken glass statue of Jupiter inside*
Jungkook
*in mind* I know I've seen this statue somewhere before....
An image he saw on the TV flashes through his head.
Jungkook
*in mind* That's right... The president of France gave Korea this statue as a gift. And it was stolen from a museum just a few days ago! I saw it on the news. But there's no way this is it.. right?
Man B:- Hey, this was a very important piece that was going to be auctioned off! How are you gonna pay for this?
Jungkook
I'm so sorry.. I had no idea something else was down here.
Man A:- You think an apology is gonna cut it!? You owe us!
The men reach out to him and...
Auctioneer
#5 for $2 million! Going once...
Jungkook
*in mind* I got put up for auction in place of the Jupiter statue... I can't believe someone is actually bidding $2 million...
Seat number 5 is right in front of the stage... and eventhough he has a mask on.. jungkook can tell it's that greasy old creep from before.
Jungkook
*in mind* Is he going to buy me;? I definitely don't want that.
The man in seat 5 leered at him
Auctioneer
$2 million, going twice...
Jungkook
What's going to me if he buys me for that much money!? The auctineer said.. I'd be a slave or a toy.. that's horrible..*thought to himself*
Auctioneer
If there are no other bids, it will be sold to the man in seat number 5.
Jungkook
*fell down on his knees and hung down his head*
All the tears he have been desperately holding back threaten to overflow.
Jungkook
*in mind* What am I gonna do;? Dad, Mom, sis.. help me!
Just then.. the auction hall suddenly buzzes with commotion.
Auctioneer
Seat no. 100 with a bid of $20 million.
Auctioneer
Are there any more bids!?
Through his tear-blurred vision, he saw the bid amount flash on the screen
All he can do is to stare up at the sum of the winning bid, completely dumbfounded. A bell sounds, calling the auction to a close.
Auctioneer
Sold to the man in seat #100 for $20 million!
Jungkook
Someone bought me for twenty million dollars!? *thought to himself*
His cage is carried over to the edge of the stage.
