directly southwest of the capital, district five, hidden within the rocky mountains, responsible for generating power and electricity for the entire nation of panem, making it the third richest district, despite only being the fifth and not being a career one. it was due to the low amount of residents that took tesserae and because they supplied one of the most important things for everyone — well, maybe not enough to district twelve though.

not a lot of people within district five were strong in terms of fighting, but they were one of the smartest alongside district three with dangerous knowledge, creativity, and analysing skills. yoon jihyun was living proof of this. she was possibly the smartest girl her age with the unbelievable ability to read a person back to front, figuring out all their weaknesses and strengths, as well as being as stealthy as a fox. she could handle complicated situations well.

the simile of being as stealthy as a fox was commonly used to describe her by most people in her district. they used to call her a fox because of her features that resembled one, but then rumours spread that she was the one stealing food from the richest people, therefore earning her the stealthy title because she had never been caught, until today.

jihyun was sneaking around a power plant, a makeshift bag full of all types of food she could find, slung around her side. she had broken into a large house and found the food laying around, untouched, so she gathered it all to put it to good use. she just had to make it back through the gates and towards the rockiest mountains where the poorer people lived.

as she stepped towards the gate to crawl through the small hole, a blinding light landed on her face and she froze. she debated running for her life or dealing with the owner of the light. she picked the latter. she hesitantly glanced up at the person pointing the bright flashlight at her and almost sighed out of relief.

"does this mean i'm the first person to ever catch you in the act?" the person asked, turning the light on and off to annoy her.

"oh. piss off." she replied, rolling her eyes and continuing on her way past the gate. she ducked underneath and crawled to the other side, the person following her while chuckling.

"so i am?"

"yeah, you are. happy?" she turned around to glare at him, kim doyoung, a twenty-five year old with black hair and dark brown eyes. he was jihyun's cousin and also happened to be the victor of the sixty-seventh hunger games.

"not really." he replied as she started walking again. he hurried to catch up with her. "why are you doing this?"

"what do you mean why? are you insane? we may be a rich district, but those that live on the rockier mountains don't get fed enough, so i steal this food for them instead of them applying for terresea. simple." she sighed. "do not give me that look, doyoung. you know exactly what it's like to not be fed enough. before you became a victor, we were struggling because of how big our family is. now we're doing well, but others still aren't."

"i know you're trying to be some hero, but if you get caught, you'll be punished in a worse way and our family will suffer the consequences." he said, struggling to keep up with her fast walking as they walked up the mountains.

"and you're a victor so you can just save us all." she pulled out some bread from her bag and shoved it in his arms. "look, just go put the bread outside the doors of these houses and we'll talk more later."

"wait. just give me all the food, i'll put it all out. you go get some sleep. the reaping is tomorrow." he said, holding his hand out.

she glared at his hand and then at the bag of food. usually, she would have told him to get lost, but she was tired and stressed so instead, she handed him the bag.
