Chapter 1: The Reaping
(Authors POV)
Hyunjin awoke to his sister, Yeji, shaking him by the shoulder. " Hyunjin, wake up, you need to get ready for the reaping." Yeji had an uncharacteristic frown on her face.
But that was understandable, as today was the day that both them had a chance of being chosen to fight in the 'Hunger Games'
" Okay, is there water in the tub?" Hyunjin asked, as he sat up.
" Yes there is, but I don't know if it's still warm." Yeji replied.
" That's okay, you should find Eomma so that she can do your hair." Hyunjin advised as he got up to go to the washroom in their home.
Hyunjin opened the door and removed his clothes, dipping his foot into the barely warm water. " It's better than no heat at all.." Hyunjin whispered as he submerged himself in the water.
The black haired boy then started to scrub his entire body, making sure to scrub off all the dirt on his skin, Hyunjin also made sure to thoroughly cleaned his hair.
Once Hyunjin was finished, he stepped out, grabbing a towel and wrapping it around his body, drying what he could before securing it around his waist.
Hyunjin made his way to his room, going into his closet and taking out the best shirt and pants he could find in his closet. As Hyunjin put it on, his mother entered the room with a solemn look on her face.
" Let's get you ready, Jinnie." Hyunjin's Mother said as she walked closer, picking up the towel from the ground.
" Okay, Eomma." Hyunjin replied, sitting down on a chair, letting his mother dry his hair with the towel.
" Whatever happens at the reaping..just know that me and your father love you." Hyunjin's mom sniveled as she brushed through Hyunjin's soft hair.
" Eomma..nothing will happen to me, I promise." Hyunjin promised, but he knew as well as she did that it wasn't something he could control.
Hyunjin's mother went silent as she braided two small braids near the front of his face, connecting them in the back leaving parts of Hyunjin's hair out in the front as well.
" Eomma, even if I get chosen..I'll fight my hardest to get back home to you guys." Hyunjin turned to his mother, standing up as he held her shoulders.
Hyunjin's mother teared up at Hyunjin's words before hugging him, starting to cry into his chest at the thought of watching her baby kill others to survive. Of all the years that she's gotten him ready for the reaping..he's never said anything like this before.
" I'll do whatever it takes to come back home to you." Hyunjin whispered as he rubbed his mothers back to comfort her.
" There you two are- oh Heejin.." Hyunjin's father had entered the room and walked over to the two, wrapping his arms around his wife and son.
" I-I'm sorry" Hyunjin's mom cried, wiping her eyes as she ended the hug.
" Heejin, there's nothing to be sorry about." Hyunjin's Father frowned.
" Soobaek, please, we're the only reason he's even going through this in the first place." Hyunjin's Mother argued, " We joined the rebellion when we were younger and now we're stuck playing a gamble with our childrens lives!"
" We did what we thought was right, we didn't expect for them to do this!" Hyunjin's Father argued back.
If you're confused...this is the 18th hunger games, it has been 18 years since the districts tried to fight back against the Capitol and lost. Now they're forced to hope that their children are lucky enough to get a swift death.
