I cover my mouth as two heads turn up to the tree I was standing in
"Hyunjin?" Minho asked, I can't believe I shouted that, then again, it stopped Jisung from stabbing himself, so I guess it wasn't terrible.
Jisung sniffed "this is kinds embarassing" Seungmin and I jumped from the tree and landed on the leaves below, he looked next to me "I see you found who you were looking for" he spoke, in a hushed tone, changing the subject almost immediately as he saw us.
"Why would you do that?" Seungmin asks
Jisung just shrugged "how long were you here?"
"Long enough, don't feel guilty, we all come here with determination to win, and one of us has too, even if we do kill" I trail off
"I've killed someone" Seungmin adds quietly
"One person, I've killed multiple and I've put people through so much grief"
Minho looked at Jisung, eyes soffened "if one of them won, the rest of the families of the people you killed would still be grief stricken, please don't worry about it, it's a bad place for your head, especially in this situation"
I nod "look, you might end up killing me, but it's one family or the other, and the rest will always be upset, think about how happy your family would be" I hated talking in this manner because it felt wrong, but it felt like it should be something I should say
"Happy? After the person that looked after them for two years is dead? After I haven't gotten the vaccine? Come on Hyunjin, you may as well kill me while you're at it, your family are, as far as I'm aware, fine! They'll live longer to keep you close."
"But, I don't want to kill you"
He picked up the knife "if you don't want me to kill myself then do it yourself"
"No, Jisung" Minho warns
"Come on, you'll regret this" Seungmin frowned
"Do you want to win?" Jisung asks
I nodded
"Do you want to die?"
I shook my head
"Then do it! God. Damn. It."
I shook my head again, I didn't want to kill Jisung.
"Fine! I won't do it. For now but I don't know what you expect"
"Maybe we should team up" Seungmin puts in
"Yeah, but we spilt up, we should have a way to communicate" I hum
Minho looked at Jisung, unsure
"Y'all said no yesterday, but fine"
"Correction, Jeongin said no" Seungmin adds
"Yeah, 'cos I have a weird accent, he said all the district nine people have weird accents" Jisung looked over at Minho, small smile for a reaction to try calm himself down after the ordeal
Minho pulled a face "us? Weird accents? Have you seen the Capitol!?"
"Oi, Jeongin said I have a mix of Capitol and District 9! Am I just double weird?" Jisung looked at us all
Minho smiled "the more I think about it, your accent is well weird, even though you picked up some from the capitol, you picked up another one somewhere too so it's a triple weird accent"
Jisung rolled his eyes and looked at Seungmin for something from him and then me
We both mutually agreed with Minho on that one "it's not like it's annoying, thank God it's not annoying" I say, adding on the last bit
"Hey, is that the weird bee sting medicine?" Seungmin asks, pointing over to Minho's hand
"Yeah-huh, why? D'ya get stung?" Jisung answered for Minho, who had just nodded
"I didn't, Jeongin did" Seungmin replied
"Oh, fuck him then" Jisung remarked "ow!" He hissed when Minho slapped his arm.
"Well, show me where he is, I can give this to him" Minho spoke, side eyeing Jisung
"Thanks" Seungmin smiled, turning to walk through the bushes, Minho and I following, Jisung collected a few things up and dawdled behind.
Minho crouched down next to Jeongin and Seungmin helped while I talked to Jisung
"Me and Minho can split off and look for Jongho and see how much we can narrow it down"
"Aren't him and Yunho teamed up?" I ask
"You obviously slept through the fallen tributes" Jisung retorted
"Hm?"
"Yunho is dead." Jisung answers simply "your friends didn't fill you in very well" he continued
I rolled my eyes "yeah, oh well" I muttered
He smiled "I really hope ya win, ya know?" He speaks "you're a great fella" he continued
"Thanks" was all I could say, looking out on the lake
"Well, I heard the plan" Minho came behind us "we'll see you seen" he showed a warm smile, held Jisung's hand and started walking
Jisung gave me a wink before he turned to properly walk with his boyfriend.
Seungmin came beside me and put a arm around me "I don't know about you, but for some strange reason, I'm feeling about everything"
"Yeah, well, we'll feel that for now, but when it leaves just us left with out optimistic behaviour, what will we do then?"
Seungmin fell silent and released a long sigh "well" he started, turning to look to me, he looked into my eyes "I've known you for a while if you count the times we kind of sort of hung out with eachother, and I want to do this if one of us don't make it" he speaks.
He leaned in a bit and I, on impulse, leaned in too.
We connected our lips and kissed, none of us made a hurry to pull away.
"Wow" I heard, me and Seungmin jumped away "how sweet" Jeongin smiled, "now let's go look for somewhere to rest"
We walked to a nice(r) place and settled down.
"We have nothing to do here for a bit, so let's stay here until we hear something" Jeongin suggested
"Okay" Seungmin says, eyes drifting over to me, I smile softly at him, and he smiled back
He was really a man made by the God's I could go on and on about how gorgeous he was, and I went back to the argument I had made in my head a while ago.
I definitely liked guys.
And this guy
Was special
He was Kim Seungmin.
