The Suju Games

Chapter 22: The Misunderstanding

(Heechul) 

        "I miss Hangeng." Heechul said. 

        Kibum looked up, "I know." he said, "I miss them, all five of them." 

      Heechul laughed harshly, "Wouldn't it be better if we just died? I mean, we would certainly be happier."

        "And then you would make the rest of us sadder." Ryeowook, who was sitting with them, pointed out. 

        "True." Heechul said, "But it would be easier for us. Yeah, I know I'm selfish." 

        "No, you're not!" Ryeowook defended, "You just really loved him." 

        "Loved? What do you mean loved?" Heechul asked, a dangerous tone creeping into his voice, "Why are you using past tense? Do you think I don't love him anymore?" 

        "I'm sorry hyung...just a mistake, I said it by accident." Ryeowook whimpered when he heard the tone in Heechul's voice. 

        Seeing that Ryeowook was scared Heechul's expression softened, "No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gotten angry." he said.

(Kyuhyun) 

        "Ryeowook- aa!" Kyuhyun pouted, "You never have time for me anymore!" 

        "Kyunnie, I have to look after Heechul hyung and Kibummie." Ryeowook explained. 

        "Someone else can do it. I want to be with you now." Ryeowook gave in to those pleading eyes, "Fine." he said, "What do you want to do?" 

        "Do you know there's a forest out there? It's a 10 minute walk." Kyuhyun said. 

(Ryeowook) 

        Must be in the opposite direction of the beach. Ryeowook thought to himself, aloud, he said, "How do you know?" 

        "I went exploring!" Kyuhyun said, "There's also a lake there, it's really nice. We could take a blanket and some food and sit there for a while." 

        "Sure." Ryeowook agreed, smiling softly, a week had passed since they had taken over District 13, and the plans for going to District 12 were still being made, so they had plenty of time, "I'll go get some food, you get the blanket, meet back here in 15 minutes, okay?" 

(Kyuhyun) 

        "Okay." Kyuhyun grinned. But inside, he was aching, Ryeowook had changed, he no longer needed Kyuhyun to protect him, he was stronger. Kyuhyun knew that he should be glad, but he missed his timid Wookie that needed his protection, that blushed whenever he did something or said something cute to him. He's too busy for me now. He doesn't need me anymore. Kyuhyun thought miserably as he grabbed a blanket and went back to where they were supposed to meet. 10 minutes had passed. He still had to wait for 5 minutes. 

        Kyuhyun leant against the wall and closed his eyes, trying to block out his thoughts, when he heard a voice calling him, "Oppa! Kyuhyun oppa!" he opened his eyes to see a girl from his class when he was still living in District 11. Her name was Wendy and she had always liked him, "Hi," he said. 

        "Oppa! Where are you going?" she smiled cutely. 

        "Out." 

        "Out? With who?" she widened her eyes. 

        "Ryeowook." 

        "Oppa, you shouldn't be gay, you know?" 

        "Oh really, too bad I am." Kyuhyun closed his eyes again, and suddenly he felt something in between his legs and her lips against his, "Wha-" she silenced him by pushing her leg against his lower part, hoping to turn him on.
