The Hunger Games (BTS Fanfic)

Chapter Two: The Reaping

"Ladies and gentlemen. I am proud to announce that today marks the day we pluck a new generation of tributes for the 74th annual Hunger Games!!"
__________________________

Sangnim was the only one clapping after her own opening statement. Nobody dared to move or try to fake a smile. I don't understand why she always tries to act encouraging and happy during the reaping, when she knows damn well that we are all dying from anticipation on the inside. Sangnim looked around the crowd and finally got the message that we were done with the facade she was trying to pull and that we were ready for the provided video and pickings.

"Well I'm guessing you already know why we have the Hunger Games in our wonderful country of South Korea. But just in case you forgot or your new here, why don't we play this short video provided by the capitol. Shall we start it?" Sangnim asked while gesturing to the peacekeepers to play the video.

Everyone turned to their left as the video was being portrayed on the buildings. It was the same video as every other year. It showed us starting an uprise against the capitol. A random male voice was explaining what the consequences were because of this uprise. It also showed previous Hunger Games that took place and how the tributes eliminated each other. Short but dreadful video. I like it.

"Now let's begin the reaping. As always, ladies go first." Sangnim goes into the giant glass bowl on her right that is filled with the names of every 12-19 year old girl in the district. She digs in for a good 5 seconds before pulling out a small slip of paper and reading the name.

"Choi Chiseo."

I heard of that girl before. She is one of the most popular girls in our school. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE knew her. She was known for being sexy, seductive, and also very witty. She was also known for having sex with almost every "cute" guy in our school. She is literally the definition of a slutty whore. Every time someone says her name in front of me, I want to gag. She's even tried to get me in the bed with her once but I honestly don't remember how I got out of that situation. Not only that but she threatened to kill my only friend at the time, Min Holly, if I don't go out with her or something like that. What kind of sick freak would do that. So I don't care what happens to her in the Hunger Games, as long as she doesn't come back home.

Chiseo slowly traipsed up the stairs to the stage. She gave Sangnim a small bow before turning to face the crowd.

Sangnim smiled. "Give a round of applause to our female tribute for district 12, Choi Chiseo!"

Just as expected, no one gave an applause. Sangnim really needs to stop that. She won't get any reaction out of u anytime soon. "Now let us move onto the gentleman."

She reached into the other glass bowl to her left and dug in to pick out a the male tribute. She waited a little before stating the name on the slip of paper.

"Min Yoongi"

You know that feeling you get when you are fighting someone and then all of the sudden you take a blow to the stomach which knocks all the wind out of you? Well you probably know how I feel right now. I don't know whether to feel mad, shocked, scared, or even happy. I don't like the Hunger Games at all, but I hate life here in district 12. I loathe Shiseo with a passion and don't mind her dying, but If I come back alive without her, the whole district may hate my guts. I hate training and working, but that's the only way to stay alive. So I'm kind of in a win win situation. I guess I'll have to-

Sangnim's voice stopped my train of thoughts.

"Min Yoongi? Please come up. We haven't got all day." Sangnim said with a worried expression. I guess that's my cue to go up.

Building up all of the courage left in me, I started towards the stage. Min Holly wasn't making the situation any better by barking up a riot behind me, making each step I take more painful. God I hate this right now.

Once I reached the stage, I made sure to keep my distance from Chiseo. Being anywhere near that slut makes me want to rage on her and just gauge her eyes out. Yes, I hate her that much. Me and Chiseo shot each other a death glare before turning back to face the crowd.

Sangnim smiled brightly and grabbed both of our hands. "Ladies and gentlemen, our tributes for the 74th annual Hunger Games!!!" She said as she raised both our hands in the air.

Instead of clapping or exhibiting any sign of cheering, the crowd stayed quiet. It's not like I was expecting them to. They never do. All the crowd ever does when they pick out the new tributes is the three finger salute. The salute consist of you kissing your index, middle, and ring finger, then raising it in the air. My mom told me that it means admiration, it means thanks, and it means goodbye loved one.

The three of us were taken inside of the house of Equity where we got to say goodbye to our family and friends. Not that had any friends. Chiseo was taken to a separate room from me so she can have time alone with her family.

I was taken to room that looked like a small study. Three bookcases lined up on the wall to my right while a desk sat in the left corner of the room. The window in the room was the only thing keeping this room from turning pitch black. That and the tiny chandelier in the middle of the room. I took a seat at the desk and started fiddling with my fingers while I waited for my parents to arrive.

They arrived 5 minutes later. My mom looked grief stricken while my dad had a smirk on his face. Probably happy that I'm leaving his sorry ass. Before I can get a word out of my mouth, Min Holly came running in. He jumped on my lap and began to lick away on my face. I chuckled a little bit because of how it tickled not only my skin, but my heart when I see Min Holly. Other than my mom, he's the only person I actually love in life.

I looked back at my parents, waiting for them to talk to me about how my mom will miss me and how my dad will love me being gone. Or just say a simple goodbye.

My dad was first to speak, and it did not look like he had anything nice to say to me.
