The Suju Games

Chapter 39: Friends

(Ryeowook)

Everyone decided not to say anything about Heechul when Kibum came into the room with red, puffy eyes. Kibum threw himself down onto to bed, obviously not wanting anyone to ask him questions, but Ryeowook still decided that it would be best if he and Kyuhyun stayed here tonight instead of in their own room.

Ryeowook joined Kibum on the bed and pulled him close. Kyuhyun looked insanely jealous but Ryeowook decided that Kibum's need was much greater than Kyuhyun's.

Kibum wriggled away from him and Ryeowook tried pulling him in again. This time, Kibum let him, Ryeowook arranged them so that Kibum's head was resting on his chest and Ryeowook had his arms wrapped around the younger boy. Younger but much stronger and manlier. Ryeowook would never admit it to anyone, but he envied Kibum for being manly and strong, especially since he was older, though only by 2 months.

Ryeowook felt his shirt starting to get wet and he knew that Kibum had started crying again. But of course he was not mad, Kibum had many reasons to cry, he had every right to cry. His grandfather killed his mother and gave him away, kept him away from his true father, and never told him the truth. Yesung, the boy he had envied for winning Sungmin's love, and Tao, were his uncles, though of course the Yesung thing was a million times freakier than being related to Tao. His entire life was one big lie, did Ryeowook really have to continue the list?

Kibum had been extremely hurt over Sungmin's death. But this, Ryeowook knew, made the old problem seem like nothing. Not that Sungmin and their other friends deaths weren't important, but these kind of family issues had to hurt more. It added to the pain and made it unbearable.

To Ryeowook, Kibum was like a glass jar, inside it, there was a lot of water, adding more and more every time Kibum experienced something, until finally, the glass jar broke, and that was when Kibum cried. And even though the water was already over flowing, more water just kept coming, until it was like a waterfall of pain.

This was how Ryeowook saw Kibum.

(Kyuhyun)

Kyuhyun was, as Ryeowook thought, insanely jealous. He did not like to see anyone sleep with Ryeowook. That was a privilege for him only. But what could he do? If it had been someone else, Kyuhyun could've stopped it, but it was Kibum, and if he took away the little comfort Kibum had then he was cruel.

It was then that he realized Ryeowook was trying to catch his attention, What? he mouthed in order not to wake Kibum up.

Sorry, just maybe 1 more night and I'm all yours. Ryeowook had to mouth it a few times before Kyuhyun could catch on.

Kyuhyun nodded, trying to be mature and not whine that he wanted Ryeowook now. To tell the truth, even though Ryeowook had needed him when they were in the arena, their positions were now switched. Kyuhyun needed Ryeowook desperately, but Ryeowook was always off tending to other peoples needs instead of his. But when Ryeowook needed him he was always there.

He knew it wasn't fair to think like this, Kibum needed Ryeowook more, Kibum needed more love and warmth than he did.

But one thing was definite, he was not going back to his and Ryeowook's shared room without Ryeowook, that was certain, he was sleeping here tonight.

"Really?" the others said, not paying much interest, Kyuhyun's old bed from when they had first gotten here was still in the room, of course, as was Ryeowook, Donghae, and Eunhyuk's. Lay had finally found a private room for those two too, so now only 6 people slept in the original room they had been put in, which they called their dorm.

As Eunhyuk and Donghae said their good-nights and left, Kyuhyun's mind wandered back to the topic of the rebellion, as it often did these days. Ever since they had gotten back from District 12, Lay had not let them be involved in anything, no training, no meetings, no plans, nothing, absolutely nothing. Personally, Kyuhyun thought that it was because Lay was finally seeing that it was all too much for a bunch of 16 to 18 year old's. But having nothing to do made the rebellion seem unreal now, life was boring, and Kyuhyun was sure that if he was suddenly put into battle he would just lazily drop onto the ground like he always did these days. No one was telling them to do anything, no one was pushing them, and Kyuhyun thought that was bad, for they if they continued this way they would not be living in the reality that there was a rebellion. Kyuhyun meant to have a word with Lay about it but Lay had been avoiding him since that scolding in the Hospital. Probably having loads and loads of sex with Kris. Kyuhyun thought nastily.

(Ryeowook)

"Ryeowookie?" Kibum's voice came to him in the middle of the night, when everyone was asleep and all was quiet but the gentle snoring of their friends.

"Yes Kibummie?" Ryeowook asked, waking up.

"Do you think my father loves me?" Kibum whispered, Ryeowook had never heard such a scared and pained voice.

"Yes, yes I do." Ryeowook said firmly, "He loves you Kibummie, of course he does."

"What if he doesn't?" Kibum asked, his breath quickened as he got more frightened.

"Then you have us. We love you, and if he doesn't love you too we will kick him." Ryeowook said determinedly, if anyone hurt Kibum then he was going to smash that person into pieces. Kyuhyun was right, he decided, he had definitely changed, but he had changed for the better, had he not? He was now more mature, and he could stick up for both himself and his friends.

"Ryeowook....can you go see my dad with me tomorrow?" Kibum asked, already nearly asleep again.

"Of course Kibummie, but why?" Ryeowook asked, pulling up the covers so they could be warmer.

"I don't know either..." and with that Kibum fell asleep.
