After 2 days spent in hell, Minho can finally leave the Med-hut. He's putting himself in his own shoes while listening to what Jeff said.

"If you feel something wrong again, please tell us right away. Don't force yourself to work," Jeff said, and he let out a sigh.

"You can't blame me just because I'm dedicated to my work." The Med-jack rolled his eyes. Jeff was about to speak when someone suddenly entered the hut, so they both looked to see who had come.

"Nonsense, nothing will happen if you neglect yourself," Alby said, crossing his arms while looking at Minho. The latter just scoffed.

"What do you want me to do? It's my job to find a way out of here."

"Exactly; we lose a lot when the Keeper of Runners himself is gone. Think about it; there's a chance that the Glade will never be the same anymore when you're not with us, Minho." The man was unable to speak immediately after what Alby said. He took a deep breath and just looked away.

"Stay here for a day. If I find out that you ran through the Maze today, I myself will lock you in the Pit for a week," Alby said before he leaves. Minho just caress the back of his neck before standing up and tapping Jeff's shoulder, who's still standing and listening to them.

"Thanks for taking care of me," he said, leaving the hut. After Minho came out, the sun's rays greeted him.

"Great, Minho. Just think of it that you have a long day off," he said to himself and started to walk wherever his feet wanted to go.

This is the first time that happened to him; he didn't run inside the Maze for several days. He felt that when he was inside the Glade, nothing would happen if he did nothing.

What should I do? Should I volunteer to help them? Watch them? Sleep in my room? Or maybe-

His thoughts were interrupted when someone called his name and that person came to his side.

"So you're finally out on the hut. I thought you're forever in there," Newt said and let out a chuckle.

"I thought so too. It's really hard just lying on the bed while waiting for my fever to disappear. The whole 2 days is so boring."

"Yeah right, just say it that the one who's taking care of you is not that person." Minho looks at his friend, confused, while Newt is smiling.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean." He took a pause to look at the Glade just to find what he's looking for. When he saw it, Newt's smile grew even wider. "That person."
