Let Me Save You // Minho x OC

Chapter Four : Why Do You Even Care ?

"Run. Never stop running. Stop and you're dead. Run as fast as possible." The voice yelled in Eli's head.
"Subject A0, Elizabeth, The Guardian."

The Guardian? Why the Guardian ? Who's this voice ?

"ELI! WAKE UP!" Someone was trying to wake her up but she couldn't opened her eyes.
Why was she the Guardian ? And the Guardian of what ? Or who ?

"WAKE UP YOU BLOODY SHANK FACE!" by the term bloody she knew who it was. It was Newt. She opened her eyes wide and she was right. Newt was standing next to her bed, his hands on her shoulders trying to wake her up.

"Newt?" Her voice was quiet and calm.

"You good? I heard you screaming in your sleep. I got worried you bloody shuck face." He said gently and we could hear worry in his voice.

"I'm sorry it was just a nightmare." She paused a moment before continuing. "Maybe I should ask the box a dream catcher. It's the second time in two nights that someone has to wake me up. Sorry." She said sadly.

"You don't have to be sorry. It's bloody okay." He smiled softly at her. She smiled back.

"Who wake you up last time ?" He asked.

"What ?"

"You said that someone had to wake you up last night. Who was it ?"

"Oh." She stopped for a second. "It was Minho. He wakes me up." She was stupidly smiling while saying that.

"Minho, ugh ?" Newt smirked.

"What ?"

"I don't know. I mean. He- he seems to like you. Like more as just friends."

For a second she thought he was lying but she got this sort of super power. She knew when someone was lying. And he wasn't lying at all.

"I think you're wrong. He just slightly cares about me. And even if he was, I don't like him this way."
Deep down, she didn't even believe in what she said. At least, she didn't want it to be true.

Why would he even care about her ?

"Mmh. I think he likes you more than he wants to and it appears to be your case too. You'll see, El." He smiled at her with the most sincere and kind smile she could ever see.

Somehow, they talked all the night and laughed.

It was around noon, Eli went to take her food when she realized that Minho was missing, knowing that today it was day-off for the runners. She sat with Thomas and Newt.

"You guys know where's Minho ? Isn't it day-off ?" She asked to two guys who were sitting on a bench.

"He went with Alby to retrace the way Ben took yesterday. To understand what could happen."

She nodded to Newt.

"But. Why do you even care ? I thought you didn't like him." He raised his eyebrows to her.

"I- Well. I said I didn't like him this way. That doesn't mean I don't care about him. I'm not saying that I care about him. I mean I do but not in this way. Well, you understood." She stammered so much that she didn't even see how much she blushed.

"You're blushing, tomato head." Thomas said laughing harder as he looked at her.

She gave him a death stare.

"No. It's sunburn." She tried to defend herself.

"In three seconds, ugh ?"

"ELI IS IN LOVE!" Thomas shouted.
