BTS HUNGER GAMES AU

MOVING

As the tributes are moving, the Head Gamemaker gets a call from President Snow.
He leaves anoher Gamemaker in charge and exits the room, ready to meet him.
The unbearable smell of roses hits him as soon as he enters the President's office.
He's sitting there, frowining.

"Sit."
The Head Gamemaker does as told.
"Did you read the news, Tatius?"
He stays silent: he didn't.
The President keeps talking.
"Capitol fears a rebellion. Things aren't going as planned and I'm disappointed. Only one death in two days? You can do better than this."

"I-"
He gets interrupted.
"I don't want to hear it. I want you to show the tributes who's in control. Show them the consequences of joking about a rebellion. Have no mercy. Or I will do it. And I will throw you in the arena."
Tatius nods, ashamed.

Meanwhile, in the arena, Jimin is picking up fruits and plants to thank his allies.
He woke up before them and found Hoseok asleep in a very uncomfortable position.
He helped him get cosy and left the cave, not going too far away.
He feels brand new.

A knife lands next to him.
He doesn't even flinch.
"You shouldn't go around without protection. I didn't save you to then get you killed after a few hours."
He turns around and sees Hoseok laughing and shaking his head.
"I got you guys breakfast! I hope you like bananas."

Yoongi suddenly wakes up, his heart is racing and his mind is numb.
It's not real. It can't be real.
He stands still, trying to catch that sound again.
All he hears is the buzzing of the magnetic field of the arena, followed by his beating heart.
He's panicking.

Minutes pass by and he still hasn't heard anything.
He calms down: it must've been a dream.
A really bad dream.
He takes all his tools and leaves the cave, curious to know how Jimin is feeling now.
He sees them next to the river, focused on catching some fish.
He gets closer.

"We've been making traps all day long... We need to find someone and fight, not hide!"
Jungkook has been complaining for hours now but Namjoon isn't listening.
He's focused on preparing himself for any possible attack.
"Why do I even try..."
He covers the hole on the ground.

"Do you know this arena isn't real?"
Jungkook looks confused.
"Huh?"
"We're not in an actual forest. We're not eating actual food. These trees? They're not real."
"Wait what the f-"
"I know it. The best minds of the Capitol come from my District. I know how all of this works."

"If this isn't real then how am I touching it? And what am I eating?"
Namjoon smiles.
"Crazy huh? All of this... It's holograms. The food you're eating is just... How do I explain it to someone like you?"
Jungkook just gets more offended.
"Hey, I'm not stupid you know? Headass!"

"Your mind is the most powerful weapon, Kookie. They do feed you but you don't see how. The air you're breathing is feeding us. They're giving us what they want."
"Why did you hunt the bird then? Why do you search for food?"
"It's a game, isn't it? You have to play by the rules."

Jungkook shakes his head.
"You know too much, Joon. It's not always a good thing."
Namjoon shrugs.
"I could easily blow this entire arena off, you know?"
"Shut up! They're watching us!!"
Namjoon leans on and whispers.
"There's always a flaw in the system."

As Jungkook is about to protest once again, a loud beeping catches his attention.
Namjoon looks surprised as a little box falls from the sky.
"Did you ask for something?"
Jungkook shakes his head.
"No? The only thing I'm asking right now is for you to shut up."
