The Suju Games

Chapter 9: The Truth

(Heechul) 

        "Shit." Heechul swore as he took off the bandages from Hangeng's wound to find it looking worse that than ever. 

        Hangeng smiled weakly, "Its alot worse isn't it?" 

        "You'll live." Heechul said, reassuring himself more than Hangeng. 

        "Don't lie to yourself." Hangeng told him. 

        "I'm not lying. You WILL live, that stupid wound isn't gonna kill you." But all 4 of them knew that it wasn't true, already, Hangeng could not walk. 

        "Thank you for believing in me." Hangeng said, closing his eyes to sleep. 

        Once Hangeng had fallen asleep, Heechul began crying, "Come here." Leeteuk said and spread his arms, Heechul immediately fell into the elders arm, "I don't want him to - to die." Heechul sobbed, he wondered what his parents were thinking as they watched this, betrayed maybe? That he had fallen in love with someone with someone of low status? Disgusted? That he was gay? I don't care anymore. I don't care what you think anymore, these people, they showed me real love in less than a month. But you....I have lived with you for 18 years and you have never, even once, really showed me you love me. You just fretted over my hair and looks, that was it. 

        "Hyung?" Heechul sniffed, "Who do you think killed Siwon?" 

        "I don't know Chullie....just rest for now, okay?" Leeteuk said, hugging the younger tightly. 

        Heechul put his head on his hyungs lap, "Yes hyung."

        (Siwon) 

       ** Flashback **

        Siwon shivered on the ground, he had fallen from his tree earlier in the day, he had broken a leg and an arm, and there was also his bullet wound that was just getting worse and worse. He was just about to fall asleep when he heard a sudden whooshing noise and looked up just in time to see a parachute, he raised his hand to catch it, slowly, hands trembling, he opened the package and saw a small bottle filled with some kind of ointment, immediately he knew it was for his wound, he raised the bottle with his good hand, "Thank you." he said, thanking whoever had sent this to him. He applied some medicine onto his wound, it helped ease the pain, Siwon put it back in the parachute and fell asleep. 

        When he woke up, it was raining heavily, and the pain had come back, he was about to put more medicine onto his wound when he realized there were two people standing over him. He tried to get up but then remembered about his broken leg. Was this the end? 

      Suddenly, two figures appeared in front of him. 

        "What happened?" Sungmin's voice asked him. 

        "Got shot - fell from the tree - broken leg-" Siwon gasped in pain as he tried to get up once more. Sungmin said nothing. "Were you the one who shot me?" Siwon asked, falling back down. 

        "That would be me." Kibum said, Siwon could only recognize him by his voice because of the rain. 

        "Then please...even this medicine cannot help me....it cannot help my broken leg and my broken arm, even if this wound heals, I cannot do anything, or go anywhere." Siwon closed his eyes, "Please kill me, Kibum." 

        Kibum raised his sword, it was better to use his sword, Siwon knew, than to waste another bullet from his gun. 

        "No." Sungmin trembled. 

        "If you win." Siwon said, his voice calm, "Please tell whoever else you meet that I am thankful that I had them." 

        "Say a prayer before you die." Sungmin said.

        "Sit down with me." Siwon rasped.

        "No Minnie its a trap." Kibum warned, but Sungmin collapsed beside Siwon and Siwon began to stroke his hand.

        "Pray with me." Siwon murmered, and together, the two began to pray, once they were done, Siwon let go of Sungmin's hand, he could barely breathe now, "Please Kibum. Do it now. End my pain. And if you win, tell my family I'm sorry. Please, do it now." 

        Was he weak? He wondered. For deciding to die like this? No, Kibum would've killed him anyway. He could not have gone on with that that leg. He braced himself for Kibum's stab which would end his pain and suffering. He felt like his chest was exploding for a second when the sword went through him and then everything was gone. 

(Kibum) 

        Kibum picked up the parachute and quickly applied the medicine to Sungmin's wound, "Feel better?" he asked. 

        Sungmin let out a sigh of relief in reply, "Its good." 

        "That boy had sponsers." Kibum said as he managed to carry Sungmin back to their camp. 

      **  End Flashback **

        *** 

        (Ryeowook) 

        Ryeowook stroked the thin line across Kyu's chest, the place he had been slashed, "Does it still hurt?" he asked, kissing Kyuhyun's forehead. 

        "It stings." Kyuhyun said softly, "But you said its not that bad and I believe you." 

        Ryeowook smiled, "If you can still get up and about to hunt then I'm sure you're okay. But don't sneak off to hunt like that again, okay? It scared me." 

        "Okay Wookie." 

        "Good boy." Ryeowook said, feeding him a bit more rabbit, the one he had sneaked off to hunt this morning. Suddenly, a big figure skipped happily into their camp, swinging his pack.

        "Guys I'm backkkkk!" Shindong sang, "And guess what I've got?" 

        "Food?" Kyuhyun said hopefully, he was kind of sick of meat right now, "That isn't meat?"

        "Blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries!" Shindong said triumphantly. 

        "Yay!" Ryeowook clapped, his hands leaving Kyuhyun's chest. 

        "And thats the master berry picker Shindong for you." Shindong said proudly. 

        ***

        (Eunhyuk) 

        "What is that thing?" Eunhyuk whispered as he, Donghae, and Henry formed a tight circle. They were surrounded by some kind of animal. 

        "Its like a mix of a tiger and a wolf." Donghae whispered back, and the thing lunged towards him, he slashed at it with his sword and it fell onto the ground before getting up, growling angrily. 

        Another one jumped for Henry, who had nothing but a small knife. Henry was knocked onto the ground, the thing on top of him. 

        We're gonna die. Eunhyuk thought as another one came for him.
