a couple days later, there was an announcement, calling for everyone to come to the centre of the district because president coin wanted to say something.

the eight who were once again hanging around by the stairs, moved towards the balcony, looking up at coin on a balcony higher up.

"good afternoon. thank you for interrupting your schedules." she spoke into the mic. "they have already been adjusted to compensate for the delay. please, check in with your unit supervisors when you resume work. i have an announcement for the citizens of thirteen and our welcome guests from the other districts. they have consented to be the faces of our cause as seen yesterday when they interrupted the capitols broadcast. they are willing to help unite the districts and the people of the capitol against president snow."

"everyone's staring at us." chenle mumbled.

"the eight have requested that we retrieve the bodies of doyoung and aya to bring peace to the families and loved ones. if they fail to fulfil their duties, the dangerous deal will be off. thank you for your attention. please, resume your daily schedule."

"the deal will be off?" mark mumbled. "was that a threat...?"

"that's some president snow shit." jisung scoffed. "as more days pass by, i start to dislike this place even more."

"let's get out of here." jeno said and they left the balcony and went to jaemin's room to be out of eyesight. 

"how's hana doing?" renjun asked jihyun.

"she's still a bit delirious and not her usual self but better than yesterday. i was terrified before, i still am," she replied, cracking her fingers. "but i think she'll be okay soon."

"good to hear." he smiled and she nearly blushed when she remembered last night.

"by the way, how far along is she?" chenle asked.

"around five months."

"five?!" he exclaimed. "i thought at least two. you can't even tell."

"some women just don't show that much. when my mum was pregnant with the twins, she had a small bump at six months. our neighbours wife was huge though. i hope i'm like my mum. pregnancy gives back and hip ache." jihyun winced, rubbing her back.

"you'd want kids some day?" jeno asked.

"of course. i don't want to die before i get the chance to start my own family."

"it's hard to see you as a family woman." jisung said.

"why's that?"

"i don't know... you seem so closed off at the idea of relationships. you've never dated before." he shrugged.

"i've never had time to. i'm just waiting for that person..." she whispered, getting quieter with every word, shying away from everyone's eyes.

"i won't believe it till i see it. you've never even kissed anyone." jisung jeered. he just kept going and winding her up.

"i have!" she blurted out.

"not on accident? a real kiss." he said and they all turned to look at her, her face turning red. she slapped her hand on his face, pushing him.

"mind your business!"

"aw now she's embarrassed." he wiggled his fingers at her then suddenly she was lunging at him, pushing him back onto the bed, her legs around his waist as she repeatedly smacked him with a pillow.

"you're so annoying!" she huffed.

"you love me really." he winked at her and then suddenly she was more aware of the position they were in. "i mean, if you really want your first kiss, i don't mind being it."
