Chapter 25

8 months in the glade

The morning sun bathed the glade in a warm glow as Y/N laced up her running shoes, ready for a brisk jog around the familiar pathways. The rhythmic pounding of her footsteps echoed against the towering walls of the maze, a comforting sound in the tranquil morning air. As she set off on her run, Y/N revelled in the freedom of movement and the crisp freshness of the glade.

Unbeknownst to Y/N, Minho, the glade's resident runner, had observed her departure and decided to join her for a run. Bursting with boundless energy, Minho swiftly caught up with Y/N, matching her pace effortlessly. A mischievous glint sparkled in his eyes as he fell into step beside her.

"Morning, Y/N! Mind if I join you?" Minho flashed a grin, his enthusiasm infectious.

Y/N chuckled, "Not at all, Minho! The more, the merrier."

As they jogged side by side, a playful banter ensued, filled with laughter and light-hearted teasing. The glade's surroundings blurred into a kaleidoscope of green as they weaved through the pathways, sharing stories and enjoying the camaraderie of the early morning run.

Feeling a surge of competitive spirit, Minho couldn't resist the temptation to challenge Y/N. "Think you can keep up, Y/N?"

Y/N raised an eyebrow, a playful smirk on her lips. "Oh, you're on, Mean-ho!"

With that, Minho accelerated, his legs a blur as he called out to Y/N, "Catch me if you can!"

Not one to back down from a challenge, Y/N accepted with a determined nod. Y/N felt the familiar surge of energy coursing through her veins. With effortless grace, she accelerated, her strides lengthening as she effortlessly closed the gap between herself and Minho, who was navigating the terrain with practised ease.

Minho, renowned for his speed and agility as one of the glade's seasoned runners, turned in surprise as Y/N caught up to him with astonishing swiftness. His eyebrows raised in admiration, he couldn't help but be impressed by her prowess.

"Wow, Y/N, I didn't know you had that kind of speed," Minho remarked, his admiration evident in his tone.

Y/N flashed him a playful grin, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Surprise, surprise," she replied, her voice laced with amusement, knowing the truth behind her speed.

Not one to back down from a challenge, Minho immediately seized the opportunity to put Y/N's newfound speed to the test. "How about we race to the other end of the glade?" he suggested, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

Y/N's grin widened as she eagerly accepted the challenge. "Let's do it then," she declared, her competitive spirit ignited.

With a nod of agreement, they quickly set up for the race, positioning themselves at the starting line with determination etched on their faces. The anticipation hung thick in the air as they prepared to sprint across the glade, their feet poised to propel them forward with lightning speed.

At the signal, they launched into action, their strides powerful and purposeful as they raced towards the distant horizon. Y/N's movements were fluid and graceful, her muscles propelling her forward with effortless ease.

Despite Minho's best efforts to keep pace, Y/N surged ahead, her speed unmatched as she crossed the finish line with a triumphant flourish. Breathing heavily, she turned to face Minho, a victorious smile gracing her features.

"I guess I win," Y/N teased, her chest heaving with exertion.

Minho, though panting from the exertion of the race, couldn't help but be impressed by Y/N's incredible speed. "You're amazing, Y/N," he admitted, a hint of awe in his voice. "You could easily be a runner with that kind of talent."
