KIDS. tmr, minho.

Chapter seven.

Slowly rubbing her thumb against the boy next to her's hand, AJ and Minho followed closely behind Jorge as he gradually led the group of emotionally and physically exhausted teenagers. He had said they were going to Marcus, whoever that may be.

They had been walking through the night, despite the dangers.

"Okay, Hermana," Jorge began, turning to AJ, "We rest here tonight and we continue in the morning."

AJ furrowed her eyebrows, she wanted to be reunited with Thomas and Brenda as quickly as possible, but taking a look at her friends around her, she knew that they had to take a break.

"Okay," She sighed, nodding to her friend who all let out a sigh of relief.

They had found themselves outside of a rundown city. Kneeling beside the pile of rubble they were going to take cover behind, AJ began to make a fire with whatever she could find.

"So tell me about WCKD," Jorge sat, sitting smugly on the edge of a piece of concrete wedged into the dirt.

"Woah- dude," Frypan muttered, shaking his head.

"Won't be talking about WCKD tonight Jorge," AJ started, letting herself fall back onto her behind, "They're tired."

Nodding slowly, Jorge looked out at the stars that coated the sky, "Marvelous," He whispered to himself making AJ's lips twitch into a smile, maybe this scary man did have a soft side.

"Can someone get me some firewood?" 

Minho nodded, smiling as he grabbed Aris and Leo's arms, pulling them up with him. Teresa followed quickly behind the boys, giggling as Aris attempted to fluff Minho's hair, leading to them wrestle as Leo cackled. 

Newt chuckled to himself as he watched AJ hide her face with her hair, blushing. "Minho got you that bad, huh?" Newt laughed causing the girl to become even more embarrassed. 

"How'd that even happen?" Frypan asked, leaning his body against AJ's back, "One moment we had no idea who you were and then suddenly you and Minho are inseparable?" 

"It was not like that-" AJ argued, smiling. 

"It was so like that!"

"Tell us how it happened then" Newt raised his eyebrows cockily, leaning back onto his hands with his legs stretched out in front of him. 

"I don't know," She muttered, shaking her head, "I never really saw him as a friend, if that makes sense? From the moment I saw him I was like "wow okay, he's hot." and luckily he liked me too" She smiled. 

"Awh!" Frypan cooed, clutching his heart, "I wish I had that" 

"And you're his girlfrie-"

"Sh!" AJ covered Newt's mouth with her hand. "Don't say that so loudly" She hissed before quickly pulling her wrist back as the boy licked the palm of her hand, "Ew! Newt!" 

"Why not?"

"We haven't had that talk yet and it doesn't have to happen anytime soon,"

"That doesn't make any sense Hermana" Jorge spoke up from his spot upon the concrete slab. 

"And why not?" 

"We only have so much time, you like him, yes?" She nodded, "And he likes you?"

"Head over heels" Newt muttered, shaking his head with a slight hint of jealousy in his tone. 

"Then be together. Be happy. This world is a rough one and if I had someone I would never let them go."

AJ took in the man's words, thinking about her "relationship" with Minho. They had zero labels and hadn't even attempted to think of any. Maybe they did need to talk about it...
