❝OH? LUXURY? ❞

19

"Come in."

Koko said as you both entered his room. You looked around and saw that his room was more luxurious and spacious than the others, and just more miscellaneous things. His designs are mainly based on old money.

You sat quietly on one of the couches while Koko went to his kitchen area and grabbed some beers.

"Do you drink?" He asked while closely checking the can of beer.

"I guess."

"Catch," he said nonchalantly as he tossed you the bottle of beer.

Luckily, you caught it.

"Oh? Quite surprising." He said as he puts his hands in both of his pockets and grinned while you rolled your eyes.

"Wow, okay?" I huffed.

"C'mon, I'm just kidding." He grunted as he sat on the couch beside you, he leaned back and put his arm behind his head, effortlessly opening the beer can and gulping it straight.

"By the way, didn't they tell you already?" Koko asked.

"Tell what?"

"You'll go to Roppongi with us next week." He said.

"Oh, are you all tired of me and sell my organs to the blackmar—"

"No, the fuck?" Koko shook his head and laughed.

"We'll just do something important there." He said.

"So, I decided to spoil you tomorrow." He added as he leaned his head on his palm, tilting his head to the side as he watched your reaction.

"What do you mean?"

"I'll treat you to a shopping."

It was now morning and the day of the shopping, and honestly, you were a bit nervous since it had been almost a month since you went out.

You and Koko were in his Bugatti Divo, driving to the mall.

"Koko?" You called while Koko looked back and reversed his car out of the parking lot smoothly. He placed his hand behind your headrest, and you can feel his hot breath on your neck.

"Yeah?"

"If you don't mind me asking, what do all of you usually do?" You asked, feeling curious, especially because of Koko's plethora flow of revenue. "Other than killing people."

He chuckled at your last sentence. "You know us damn well already."

"Hmm, well, let's put in simple words which a person like you would understand." Koko said, hesitating to continue as he squinted his eyes.

You looked at him with a raised brow, growing suspicious. "Are you belittling me? Rather, underestimating?" 

"Oh, baby, of course not." He laughed. "You got it all wrong. I'm just cautious about disclosing something that only we should know about. We don't want to get into too much detail with you."

You scrunched your nose from the name and just nodded. Koko obviously noticed this and sighed.

"Well, we are not only some types of gangs that you would typically see, but we are also a running business company, and what makes us a dangerous criminal organization is that we are working and doing some risky things. We have many... unlawful.... sources of income in each sector."

"Some of us have certain responsibilities, such as the two brothers and Sanzu, who usually deals with physical issues... if you get what I mean."

"Oh," you tense up a bit, remembering what you encountered last night. 

"While Mikey, and especially myself, handle more business stuff, I arrange our financial flow, I have all of the roots and sources, and I receive all of the benefits."

"Real shit, right?" He chuckled. "Who can live without money, after all?"

"If you don't know how to get your ways in life and strategize, you'll get treated depending on your hierarchy and social status, or in other words, you'll be treated like trash, such an egalitarian society, right?" He sarcastically said.

"Because sometimes, all we need is a little cheat."

"Playing innocent these days is like playing prey and dumb."

"That's why we're connected to every criminal gang, and we can pay them to... end some people."

"It can be anyone, it can be anything."

"O-Oh..." You gulped as you shifted in your seat, listening to his words while feeling uncomfortable.

"Scared?"

"No?" You sighed and furrowed your brows. "Why?"

He didn't answer and just placed his hand on your thigh, you almost flinched, taken aback from the cold contact, yeah, that alone made you quiet already.

After a few minutes of driving, you arrived at your destination; throughout the ride. Koko's hand never left your thigh, and you could finally breathe as he got out of the car.

You looked at your side, and he opened the door for you. He offered his hand like a gentleman and helped you carry your purse.

"It's been some time since I've seen people."

You murmured while you entered the mall with Koko.

You held his arm, sticking close to him since you were uncomfortable and nervous around people in the mall, he looked at you and smirked, loving how you were holding his arm like your life depends on it.

Looking around, you sighed, a little melancholy at how easily they changed your perception of the outside world, and it seemed like you were caged in their home.  How you were outside right now but your freedom was close yet so far.

Which is just one single run, you can escape, but it was impossible.

You were already aware of the power that they hold.

They can track you in just a second.

"We're here." He said as you blinked back to reality.

"Buy all you want inside, I'll wait here outside." He said.

"Wait, but—" You were cut off as he grabbed your hand and placed something on your palm.

His black card.

You widen your eyes as you looked at him but a playful smirk and eyes were plastered on his face before you can even say anything.

"Let me spoil you, okay?" 

"Buy anything you want there, I reserved all the stores here for you."

"Enjoy."

Employees greeted and bowed to you as you entered the stores.

Your shopping bags were almost filled after a few minutes of shopping, and you didn't expect that the employees would help you and carry your shopping bags, and whenever you will buy something, they would follow you everywhere like they are your dogs.

"Um, sorry, but I can go and carry these myself. You guys are having some sort of trouble there." You scratched the back of your head and saw how they were struggling to carry the heavy bags, but they only gave you a sweet smile and a thumbs up.

"Oh, please no, Madame. It's our job and Mr. Hajime Kokonoi told us to."

"Oh, well, okay," you can't help but sigh and shake your head. "Just tell if I need to carry anything."

You checked around and saw all the limited-edition dresses, a variety of aligned luxurious dresses, stacked clothes, shoes, bags, and everything.

Your eyes sparkled, a smirk forming in your lips as you roam around the stores, seeing the prices like gold.

"I mean, it's written in the contract that I'm entitled to buy anything I desire, and they'll reimburse the expenditures as long as it's at their will and it's at Koko's will!" You thought.

So here you are, getting all the clothes, bags, shoes, and jewelry that you saw. 

You're really going to empty their banks and take the opportunity.

"Excuse me, ma'am, Mr. Kokonoi asked us to show you our rare and newly arrived ones." One employee said. "Please follow me."

You followed her to a large walk-in closet packed with more eye-catching clothing, rare types of clothing from other countries, and even outfits worn by famous models.

"Oh, and by the way, Mr. Kokonoi asked us for you to fit these." The employee gave you a pink box that was wrapped with a white glitter ribbon.

You grabbed the box and opened it. Your eyes widened as you saw the pieces of clothing inside.

They were thongs, lingerie, daring dresses, and more.

"U-Um." You quickly closed the box, while the employee's eyes widen and jaw hung open as well.

"This sneaky fucker."  You thought, cursing Koko in your head while gritting your teeth in embarrassment.

The employee cleared her throat. "Please excuse me, enjoy yourself here ma'am, I'll leave you here and I'll just be outside, you can fit these clothes in our fitting room, thank you, and enjoy!" She smiled softly and bowed

As you entered the fitting room, you faced the large body mirror on the wall and removed your dress, you looked down and saw the box that was filled with those clothes.

You sighed as you grabbed one of the lingeries. It was soft pink with white laces at the edges and a small black ribbon on each corner.

You wore it and grabbed another dress that matched the underclothes, and you picked this one bodycon dress, but you can't reach for the zipper at the back.

"Hello? Excuse me? Can you help me here?" You called for the employee and thought she's just outside.

You went back inside the fitting room as you heard the door open, and so you thought it was the employee.

"Can you help me with the zipper?" You asked as you felt a hand zip it up, you were about to thank her until you heard a different voice.

"So, did you enjoy it?"

Your eyes widen and you flinched as you heard the familiar voice, you looked up at the mirror and saw him.

"Koko?!"
