. ˚◞♡ ⃗ 🕊*ೃ༄ ━━━━┅━━━ CHAPTER ONE The Deal ━━━━┅━━━
KANG Y/N
I woke up, gasping for air and quickly sitting up in my small and rather uncomfortable bed. The same dream as every night, my younger brother, Jisung, being sent into the merciless arena.
Jisung, the only person I truly loved being taken and killed as I helplessly watched from a screen, unable to do anything.
I knew that I had to convince myself that he would be okay, I had taken precautions, after all, there was no way that he was leaving district eleven.
Could I say the same about myself? No, definitely not, I had a higher chance of being chosen due to numerous circumstances.
One of them being the deal I had made.
Mark Tuan, the neighbor's kid and I had made a promise, one that was supposed to help our families. In my case, Jisung and in his case, his sister Jisoo.
If his sister was chosen then I would step forward and volunteer and if Jisung was chosen, he would step up in his place.
But how could I know that Mark was trustworthy? He was a kid I barely knew and despite that, the life of my brother rested partially in his hands.
Why was I even thinking about this? Mark, Jisoo, Jisung and I would not get chosen, some eighteen-year-old would get chosen and everything would be okay.
Why do you always overthink things Y/n? Everything is going to be fine.
Sighing wearily, I got out of bed and made my way to the bathroom that I shared with the other girls.
My brother and I lived in an orphanage if you could even call it that. Everyone knew that we would never get adopted.
Everyone here was too poor and everyone in the capital too rich. No one could afford to take on another mouth to feed.
