"Why?" Zelia asked suddenly, causing the newcomer to look at her. He kneeled down by her side and hesitated whether to help her sit or just let her lay down on the ground, waiting for her to sit.
"What do you mean, why?" He asked back, and the girl rolled her eyes before slowly sitting down. The man just stared at her as if he wanted to help her.
"Why did you save me, Minho?"
"What do you want me to do? Watch those klunkheads until they're done?" he asked with a frown. Zelia's eyes narrowed even more at him.
"You are useless to talk to. You're just answering my questions with your questions. I hope you're happy that I look like klunk." Minho just shrugged his shoulders at what the girl said. Zelia stood up and felt pain in her body, which Minho immediately noticed. She was about to leave but suddenly the man spoke so she faced the young man.
"Where are you going?"
"Why are you asking me that? I just want to go back to the Glade and find Alby to tell him what happened today." The girl said and was about to leave but she was stopped again by what the man said.
"Don't."
"What did you say?"
"Don't tell Alby what happened." Zelia couldn't believe what she heard, so she looked Minho in the eyes.
"What do you want me to do? Just slim my mouth and forget as if nothing happened? Minho, something bad almost happened to me. Do you think I'll get over all that? Sorry to say this, but I'll just keep asking myself if I'll still be safe inside the Glade after what happened today." The girl said. The young man took a deep breath before he spoke.
"Zelia, there's a chance that you will be the one who will get the punishment because aside from them being klunkheads, you have wounds all over your face. They can tell Alby that you punched them first." Zelia laughed bitterly and brushed her hair past her shoulders.
"Wow, you know my name," the girl said sarcastically, so the man glared at her. She ignored it and continued what she had to say. "Who cares? That's why I'm going to Alby to explain my side. I'm ready for what punishment he will give to me."
"They've been here for over a year and you've only been here for a little over four months. So who do you think Alby is going to believe?" Because of what Minho said, Zelia became silent. She felt a pain in her heart. There was a part of her that thought he was right; it's possible that their leader would believe whatever the two had to say.
"You also know how long I've been here," the girl whispered.
"What did you say?" Zelia took a deep breath before straightening up and staring at Minho. Even though she was only up to his shoulders, the young woman did not fail to stare at the young man.
