The Suju Games

Chapter 47: Your Duty

(Heechul)

Unfortunately Heechul recognized the man who shot Kibum.

His very own father. "Dad." a low growl escaped his throat as he caught Kibum in his arms.

"You are no son of mine. You are a traitor." His father snarled back, ready to fire, but Heechul threw a punch at him, "You deserve to die."

"You were the one who betrayed me." His father tried to hit him back.

"And you were the one who had no faith in me and didn't love me." Heechul said, he wrapped his arms around Kibum and wrapped his hands around Kibum's and his gun, he hesitated, "I can't kill my own dad." he muttered, but then those last words came ringing into his ears, and pushed the trigger without another thought.

"I'm your father!" he screamed as the bullet hit him.

"Really? Just now you said that you weren't."

"The President will kill you for doing this to me!" his father screamed in pain.

Heechul wanted to throw himself down beside his father and sob, but he realized that his father wouldn't have done the same for him. "Are you blind?" he laughed, "The President just used you to try and make me weak, fool." He said as he carried Kibum and stepped over his father's body. But he felt heavy inside.

 I shouldn't have done that.

(Kibum)

Kibum wasn't sure what was going on, but was that really Heechul's dad? Had his hyung really killed his own father? "We're getting out of here, nothing is more important than your life. Hey you!" Heechul grabbed a man and spun him around, "You be our guard while I carry Bummie, understood?"

It was Kibum's grandfather, "You owe him this." Heechul snarled as he picked Kibum up. Kibum could hear all this, despite everything, he felt rather sorry for the man. Maybe after this, they could start over, with the remaining members of his family, him, Jaejoong, his grandfather, and Tao.

You've turned soft in the head. Kibum thought to himself, he felt himself in Heechul's arms, for a brief moment wondered what it would have felt like to have Sungmin's arms around him, but then his pain and memories drowned in the pleasure of having Kim Heechul carry him. His arms were so strong, Kibum was doing all he could to stop himself from imagining it was Sungmin. He was torn, he missed Sungmin, but then there was Heechul ...

He didn't know how long it was until they got back to camp, but the pain was starting to get numb, he wondered if he was dead. Until he heard Ryeowook's voice screaming, "Bummie? What happened to Bummie!"

"Doctor!" he could hear Heechul scream back. And in less than a minute Kibum felt himself being taken out of Heechul's arms. No, that was a nice place to die. Kibum wanted to protest.

(Heechul)

"You, get back into the battle." Heechul spat at Kibum's grandfather, who looked scared and ran for his life.

"What happened?" Ryeowook asked.

"He was shot." Heechul said bluntly, he still couldn't believe his father had done it.

"Hyung, I don't want to pry but ... you act like you know the attacker ..." Ryeowook said, obviously choosing his words carefully.

"I don't want to talk about it." Heechul snapped back. He didn't even want to tell Ryeowook, he didn't want to tell anyone at all, he wanted it to be a secret forever, "And why are you back here?"

Ryeowook's eyes filled with tears, "Kyuhyunnie got shot." he wept, and Heechul suddenly felt pity for the boy and they hugged each other tight, afraid that they would lose their loved ones.

"Kibum was about to tell me something important right before he got shot." Heechul sobbed, "Now I might never know."

They were both so caught up in their pain that they did not notice something zooming towards them at a very high pace until it started shouting, "HELP! DOCTOR!"

They turned to see Henry approaching them in his wheelchair with Leeteuk slumped beside him.

"Another one?" Heechul whispered as doctor's rushed out to take Leeteuk, "Teukie hyung!" Heechul screamed as he followed Leeteuk, who was being taken into one of the medical tents, "I'm sorry for everything, Teukie hyung, I'm sorry... I'm sorry...." he collapsed onto the ground, still sobbing apologies.

(Ryeowook)

It fell upon Ryeowook's shoulders to tell Henry about Kibum and Kyuhyun.

"Three?" Henry said fearfully, "Ryeowook-ah, what if they die?" and together the two maknae's joined Heechul on the ground, sobbing their hearts out.

(Eunhyuk)

"That was Kibummie's voice I'm sure of it!" Eunhyuk insisted, though they couldn't see Kibum in the large crowd.

"There!" Kangin pointed, and he was right, there was Heechul, he was shooting a man, probably the person who shot Kibum.

None of them had ever seen such hate in Heechul's eyes. "We have to go to them!" Donghae cried.

"No." Kangin said firmly, "They're going back now, they'll be alright, they would want us to finish our duty.

"My duty is to protect my friends." Donghae cried, and Eunhyuk put his arm around Donghae's shoulders as the crowd surged forward.

"No moping." Kangin commanded, "If your duty is to them, then they would want you to go on and finish this. Understood?"

"Yes." Donghae whimpered.

"Yah! Don't speak to him like that!" Eunhyuk snapped.

Kangin gave Donghae a quick hug, "I'm sorry Donghae-ah, I love you little dongsaeng." and then they were at the gate of the mansion, thinking they were ready to fight the Capitol's last defence line, when something came dropping out of the sky, Donghae grabbed Eunhyuk and Kangin and pulled them away just as a large cannon hit the ground and set the ground on fire.

(Shindong)

"Shindong?" Shindong heard a voice calling him, but he did not look up, he did not want to.

"Shindong! Get up!" Was that Yunho's voice?

"Shindong!!" Another voice Shindong had gotten quite familiar with over the past week screeched. Changmin? Why was Yunho with Changmin?

He felt himself being hauled up, "We'll treat you to pizza after this!" he could hear them shout. And he immediately opened his eyes.

"Leeteuk hyung." Shindong said, he wanted to go see Leeteuk.

"He'll be fine! Now fight for him! Okay?" Yunho smiled at him bravely, and Shindong was thankful to have such good friends.
