The Suju Games

Chapter 4: Running Away

(Siwon)

        They celebrated until midnight and they would have gone on longer if Leetuk hadnt shouted at all of them to get to bed so they could all be ready for their big day tomorrow.        

        In the morning, Siwon's stylist Key and his prep team Jonghyun, Krystal and Sulli came in to wake him up and then dress him up. They didn't need to do much with the makeup, for Siwon was already a very handsome man. Krystal and Sulli, the two women in his prep team, fawned over him, "You're so handsome!" And finally, Key handed him his outfit. It was an ancient chinese costume. A war outfit. With armour, "Why a chinese war outfit?" Siwon asked. 

        "Because." Key said, "It looks good on you, makes you look even manlier. Shows that you're a fighter, a warrior." He spoke with a kind of swagger. 

        "Its wonderful." Siwon smiled confidently. 

        Jonghyun, the last person in the prep team, clapped, "Oh darling you look fabulous!" 

        "Very handsome! Why, you must be even more handsome than any other man in the capitol!" Krystal and Sulli said. 

        "Thank you." Siwon smiled politely as Key led him down to where his chariot was waiting. The other tributes were already there. All of them were dressed in cool clothes or suits. 

        Outfits:

        (Leeteuk: Its you MV)

        (Kangin: Sorry, Sorry MV)

        (Yesung: A-cha MV) 

        (Sungmin: Happiness MV) 

        (Ryeowook: Sexy, Free, and Single MV) 

        (Kyuhyun: Mr Simple MV)         

        (Shindong: Mr Simple MV)

        (Eunhyuk: Mamacita MV)

        (Donghae: Sexy, Free and Single MV)

        (Kibum: Twins MV) 

        (Hangeng: Don't Don MV) 

        (Heechul: This Is Love)

        (Siwon: Dragon Blade costume) 

        (Henry: Super Girl MV) 

        (Zhoumi: Break Down) 

        They complimented each other on their outfits, but there was no doubt that Siwon's was the best, the most unique. Long ago, tributes were dressed to represent their district, now, all you needed was a fancy or sexy costume. 

        Heechul, being the boy from the capitol, went out first, he was greeted with loud cheers, Leeteuk followed, and then it was his turn. The cheering seemed to become, if possible, even louder. He really was the most handsome man there. The others all had that pretty boy look around them, cute, friendly. But Siwon....he also looked cute and friendly, but he also looked manly. He was so many things at once. He kept his face expessionless, like Key had told him to, ocasionally making a face like he wanted to kill. The crowd went completely wild. He couldn't help but glance at all his friends. They all looked good and all of them had fans. 

        Once the chariot ride was over, the interviews began. 

        Leeteuk said, "I've mad so many friends here, they're like my own children." Nothing about the games, nothing about winning. And it was the same for every single one of them, they talked about their new family, their new friends, which happened to be their fellow tributes. If the interviewer, Kim Jongin or Kai, asked them their thoughts on winnning, they would just say, "I'm not killing my friends." 

        It was a smack in President Kim Youngmin's face. 

        In they end, they all walked backstage together holding hands. Everyone looks scandalised, scared, and sorry for them. 

        "Lets just go back to our rooms." Yesung said sleepily. 

       They quickly went back to their rooms, "I can't fight you guys." Leeteuk said desperately, "We need to leave." 

        "Leave? How?" Kyuhyun asked, startled. 

        "Run away." 

        "I know a way," Heechul said, "Theres a secret entrance on the roof, my old friend came here before, as part of a tour. We can leave that way." 

        "Lets go." The 15 boys hurried up the stairs and onto the roof, "There, in the wall." Heechul panted, exhausted from running up the stairs. He managed to push the secret door open, revealing a secret passageway, "Go!" One by one they hurried into the corridor, "Theres a turn here." Heechul told them as he rounded the corner, and then he uttered a startled cry as a gun was pressed to his chest. 

        "Back to your quarters, President's orders." The peacekeeper facing them snarled, "And don't think you can overtake me, there are many more of us here, right behind me." and slowly, one by one, the peacekeepers showed themselves. 

        "Run back to the roof." Leeteuk said quietly to the people at the back of the line, "They didn't see you yet, so you won't get in trouble." Kyuhyun, Ryeowook, and Henry turned around to run, only to find another 10 or so peacekeepers behind them, "Surrounded." Kyuhyun breathed sharply.

        "Back to your quarters, lets go." And they were marched right back to their dining room, where President Kim Youngmin was sitting there, waiting for them, "Please, sit." he invited them with a cold smile. 

        They reluctantly sat down. 

        "I am aware, that you have all turned to care for each other very much, which can't happen." he said, "Did you think I wouldn't know you would try to escape? Did you think you weren't being watched? Kim Heechul," he flashed a sick smile at the snarling boy who had his fists clenched, "Running away from your own home, making friends with .... these people," he smirked, "What would your mother say?" 

        Heechul threw his fist forward but Siwon and Hangeng immediately held him back. 

        "In the arena tomorrow, you will fight. You are, of course, allowed to have allies. But you can't go around together, all 15 of you, trying to keep each other alive, until the gamemakers destroy 14 and only 1 is left. That wouldn't be fun, indeed, it wouldn't be any fun at all." The President said, "Tomorrow, you get some allies, and then you fight, you survive, you hunt the others, and you kill, and you will repeat this cycle again and again, until but one of you remains. Do you understand?" 

(Hangeng)

        "No." Hangeng said angrily, "We will not kill each other." 

        "Really Mr Geng?" The President leaned in, Hangeng could smell his sick breath, "What if I threatened your families?" 

        "They'd be better off dead than in this world anyway." Hangeng retorted. 

        "But what would you say if I made every single one of your family members, all 15 families, avoxes? If you do not do as I say and kill each other in the arena tomorrow, that will happen. Do keep that in mind, won't you Mr Geng?" And then he turned and left.
