She was so scared when she woke up in the box. She didn't remember a thing. She wanted to get out, but she couldn't. She couldn't even try. Or could she? It was all blurred, nothing made sense anymore. Who were those people? Why was she the only gir...

She had a dream that day. She was on a beach, there was someone else with her. A little boy. She was sitting on the sand, and the H/C haired kid was running and splashing water. She was drawing the scene, the little boy jumping on the water, the waves, the seagulls. It was peaceful. It wasn't all clear. Just flashes of image, like she was only allowed to look for a few seconds, then it changed. She woke up slowly. Casually stretching on her hammock. And then it came to her. She was going in the maze! As soon as she remembered she got up, almost jumping out. She put a comfortable gray tee and some stretchy leggings. She then ran down the ladder, skipping a few steps. Running to the map room, where she thought Minho was. She was so excited that she didn't even realize that Minho was not there. Not him or anyone. She was so confused. But then she went look for him on the cookhouse, and there he was, eating an bad-looking omelette. He was with Newt. Newt. And all of a sudden y/n got nervous. She fixed her hair a bit, rubbed her eyes not to look that tired, and casually walked in. She almost couldn't contain her excitement as Frypan handed her pancakes. "Excited?" He asked and she smiled. He didn't need a more obvious answer. The girl went and sat next to Newt, and greeted them both. "Mornin'." "Mornin', love. Did you sleep well?" Said Newt with a grin. How she loved when he called her 'love'. "Pretty well actually. I had a good dream for once." They were all eating, and y/n couldn't settle that they weren't talking about her first day as a runner aaaaa! "So, Minho... when you go in, do you just walk around and try and find a way out? Do you look for different paths other than the map's, and what do you do when you see a griever?" He smiled at Newt, who did the same. "Okay. Yeah, basically we do all of that. We haven't gotten out so it means we're not searching right. We need to explore, learn the Maze's ways." "Calm down, y/n. It's gonna be okay. Minho it's gonna just show you how it works, no further exploring today, love." Said Newt, looking at Minho as if he was warning him just now about this. She pouted at the blonde, making him smile. Oh god that smile. Minho finished his food and went to the map room, leaving Newt and the girl alone. She was casually eating, trying to pretend not to notice the blonde staring at her. It made her face burn red. "What?" She finally asked. He grinned. "I've never seen anyone this bloody exited to go in the maze." "I'm not exited about going in the maze itself, I just... feel like it's a step closer of getting out of here. It may not even be, but I know I can help so..." he looked down, suddenly worried. "Just... just promise me you'll be careful, y/n. Don't do anything reckless. The maze is a very dangerous place, and you must be serious about what you do in there." He said, now looking in her E/C eyes. She blushed slightly at his worry. "Don't worry, Newt, I'll be fine." "Promise?" He asked, kinda teasing, holding his pinkie up for her. "I promise." She smiled and intertwined her own finger with his, both looking at each other deeply. Y/n could swear she saw his eyes flicker to her lips, but she could have imagined it. They both got up and went to the map room. They met Minho there, getting his equipment to go in the maze. She got a vest, and was handed a bottle of water and a knife. Minho said that she would have to learn to use other weapons later, but today would be just sprinting around, so she would be fine. The girl heard the big stone doors opening, her heart skipping a beat. "Duty calls." Said the black haired runner. She took a deep breath and got out of the room with Minho and Newt. "Hey, y/n!" Newt called, when she turned to the maze. Y/n walked over go him, Minho waiting with a grin, knowing that there was something between the two. " 'Sup." "Uh, just... good luck." He said, pulling her by the waist into a tight hug, burying his face on the crook of her neck. She felt so safe in his arms. He held tight to her, as if making sure she wouldn't fall. Y/n closed her eyes as she put both her arms around his broad shoulders, one hand caressing the messy locks of blond hair behind his head. "I'll be okay. I'll come back and tell you all about it." She said, still not pulling away. After a few seconds they pulled apart and the girl walked away, just sending him a glance before she and Minho went in the direction of the big walls, leaving Newt there, craving to hold her like that forever. He waited until she was in front of the doors until he went off. Minho and y/n stood for a while in front of the long hallway of stone ahead of them. "Ready?" He asked glancing at her. "Ready."
