The Suju Games

Chapter 41: Lay's Decision

(Kyuhyun) 

        When Kyuhyun woke up it was nice, quiet, peaceful, sure, they were underground, and there was no sunlight or any chirping birds, but he had Ryeowook, and waking up with Ryeowook in his arms was the best feeling Kyuhyun had ever had. 

        "Ryeowook-ah, wake up." he kissed Ryeowook's ear and Ryeowook shivered as Kyuhyun began to lick his ear.

        "Not in the morning." Ryeowook groaned, rolling over. 

        "What should we do today?" Kyuhyun asked, caressing Ryeowook's hair and putting it into place.

        "You were gonna take me to some lake, weren't you?" Ryeowook said, remembering the day he and Kyuhyun had fought.

        "Yeah." Kyuhyun grinned, "I saw Wendy with her broken arm you know, I think she looks better this way.

(Ryeowook)

        The old Ryeowook woud've told Kyuhyun not to be laugh, but this Ryeowook joined in, "You know something else?" Kyuhyun grinned, "You're just as cute as you were back then." 

        "Kyunnie!" Ryeowook blushed. 

        "You can turn completely evil and you can hate me and try to kill me and I would still love you." Kyuhyun whisered, brushing Ryeowook's hair for him. 

        Ryeowook turned even redder. 

        That day, they sat beside the lake on a picnic blanket, Kyuhyun's head on Ryeowook's lap, Ryeowook played with his hair, they ate and swam in the lake. They had never passed such a happy day together, right from when they met, they had been tributes being sent to their death. This was the first time they both felt compltely happy.

(Kris)

        "Call a meeting." Lay told Kris. 

        "Why?" Kris asked as he took Lay's hand in his own. 

        "Because we've been doing nothing for too long." 

        "I doubt Kibum and Tao have recovered from the shock yet, that kind of wound- it will never heal." 

        "I know, which is why it would be better for their lives to go back to normal as soon as possible." Lay said flatly. 

        "Soften up a bit." Kris told him affectionately. 

        "Now." 

        Kris sighed and went to get all the tributes. 

        He went to Ryeowook and Kyuhyun's room to find that they were in the shower, "Hurry okay? There's a meeting!" he went to the other two rooms and managed to get everyone but Kibum going, Kibum lay in his bed, staring into space as if Kris had never come in. 

        "Kibum?" Kris sat down on the bed, "Look, I know it's hard on you buddy, but you need to get up." 

        Kibum did not even look at him. 

        "Look, I don't want to use force."

        Kibum remained as still as a statue.  

        Kris sighed and put his hands under Kibum's arms and hauled him up, "Up you get." 

        "Can't we just let him rest?" Leeteuk pleaded. 

        "Look, I don't want my boyfriend to kill me." and that was how Kris got Kibum into the meeting room, Lay raised his eyebrows in confusion when he saw this but did not question it.

        Once they were all gathered, all the soliders and tributes and even Heechul and Henry in their wheelchairs. And there was Kibum was slumped in his chair, looking as if he were dead, the meeting began. 

(Lay) 

        "We will not waste anymore time." Lay declared, "In a week, we attack the Capitol." 

        This sudden announcement was greeted with silence from all but Chen, "What about the other Districts?" He asked. 

        "The people from 14, 13, and 12 are enough to help us take over the Capitol, once we do that they'll all be free, this is the quickest way." Lay answered. 

        "How are we gonna do it this time?" Tao asked, snapping out of his miserable state, Lay was glad to see him like this again. 

        "We're all going, rebels, people of Districts 12-14, you guys." Lay said, "Except Heechul and Henry, they will rest here." 

        "NO!" the two protested, Heechul was louder than Henry, "I am going there." Heechul gritted his teeth, "To show my parents what I am made of." 

        "I thought you don't remember what your father told you?" Leeteuk asked.

        "I heard whispering it to yourself when you thought I was asleep." Heechul admitted. 

        Everyone looked at Leeteuk, "I'm sorry!" he wailed, "I really thought he was asleep!" 

        "He'll never make it. Was that what he said about me?" No one answered Heechul, "He's wrong, he's the one who won't make it. I'LL KILL HIM!" Heechul roared, frightening everyone, it began to thunder above them and they knew a storm was coming. 

        "I'm going too, Heechul hyung and I - we can get completely healthy again in a week." Henry said confidently, he took Heechul's hand in his own and gave the elder a bright smile. 

        "Alright then, if you can do it in a week, you can go." Lay agreed. 

        "Let's do this then!" Kyuhyun gave Eunhyuk a high five and Kangin, Shindong, Ryeowook and Donghae cheered. 

        "Wait, how are will we get there? There aren't enough hovercrafts." Tao pointed out. 

        Lay grinned, "I thought we'd take a train."
