The Ominous Maze || The Maze Runner || Minho

•13•

I woke up from the sounds of the moving walls, vibrating on the concrete floor. I pulled my head off from Minho's shoulder making his head collapsed on my shoulder, still asleep. I looked around the Maze and saw that we were still at the edge of the Maze. The sky was light orange meaning it should be dawn soon.
"Minho." I called while shaking his shoulder. "Wake up."

He soon groaned before open his eyes, looking groggy and tired to be woken up from the much needed sleep. He rubbed his eyes before looking around, realised we're still in the Maze.

"Hey." Minho greeted before put his head back on my shoulder. "Just give me a minute."

"We need to get back to the Glade. They must've been worried about us." I stated while waiting for his replied, when I heard Minho snoring softly.

"Minho. Seriously!" I hissed. I can feel Minho pulled his head from my shoulder and started to laugh. I looked over at him, pissed.

"You so cute though." Minho grinned while pinching my cheeks hardly, making me winced in pain. He soon pulled back his hand and stood up while looking around.

"What is this place? Why it just end?" I asked while looking down at the darkness of the cliff, making me wonder what's down there. The rememberance of the thought being dragged by the Grievers making me stepped back.

"We called it the Cliff. We don't know why it just end here. I think it must have be something to do with the Grievers." Mino said while staring down at the abyss.

"Why do you think that?" I asked. Minho turned around and cracked a smile. "Because you led four Grievers in it and they disappeared." Minho stated and walked to me before placing his forehead against mine. "I wouldn't be safe in here without you."

"Oh com'on, you could of easier outrun them. Besides it just a luck." I replied and cupped his face with my hand, pressing my nose against his. We pulled away as we started to walked back to the Glade.

"Nahhh, you freakin' outrun them and continued to run until the edge of the Cliff. Sounds like a runner jobs to me." Minho stated.

"You think I could be a Runner?" I asked I disbelief

"Shuck yeah, You have the stamina and speed." Minho exclaimed.

I rolled my eyes, before we turned to last corner to the Maze entrance. The Doors were just opening and the bright light of the Glade shown in making me squint slightly. At the Maze entrance, the Gladers stood while their eyes widen. Minho and I make a stop while Newt limped forward to us.

"H-How did you.... Where's Alby?" Newt asked concernly.

"Up there." I said while pointing at the walls that full of ivy. Alby was still there in one piece, not showing any movement. The Gladers started to whispered each other even Minho was impressed.

"D-did he alive?" Newt asked while looking back at me.

"Was when I left him there." I said with a shrug.

"When you left him...." Newt repeated before snapping out. "Get yourself to the Med-Jack and have a rest. We gonna have bloody gatherin'."

Minho and I didn't protest as we walked out the Maze and into the Glade. The Gladers made a path us where they stared at us as we walked to the Homestead. Chuck and Thomas soon came and starting to ask many question, making my head spin.

"Did you saw thebGrievers?

"How did you guys safe in the Maze?

"What happened to Alby?"

"GUYS!" Minho snapped, making them stop. "We haven't eaten anything since yesterday, we just slept for three buggin' hours only and we're tired as hell. Could you guys give us a space?!"

Chuck and Thomas apologised before walking off with guilty faces. Minho turned around and continued walking to the Homestead. I ran after him an walked beside him.

"You don't have to be so mean to them." I said as we go through the Homestead door.

"You can go answer them by yourself while I taking a nap." Minho stated making me shut my mouth. He sighed before wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer.

"Sorry, babe. I'm just tired and hungry as hell." Minho said with a soften voice this time. "Forgive me?"

"I forgive you." I said while looked up at him before cracking a smile.

"Thank you." Minho replied before pressing a kiss against my forehead. I immediately felt a tingles shot out from the spot and I couldn't help but smile widely.

We made it to the Med-Jacks room and Clint and Jeff came in not long after, immediately started their work. They patch us both up. Putting on the plasters and putting on the cream for the injuries. Jeff wrapped a bandage around my bruise wrist. Minho had a minor injuries, so it didn't take a long for him to able to rest. I took a little bit longer, but I soon allowed to eat and rest. Clint and Jeff soon left to go help Alby, who I heard seem to be alive.

Once Minho and I had eaten, we were allowed to sleep. They gave us one of the Med-Jack room with a double beds. I quickly layed down on the mattress, feeling much comfy than sleeping in the Maze while sitting up against the cold wall. Minho soon got in and pulled off his shirt revealing his toned and muscular chest and stomach. I can't help but to admired it, before looking away with a slight blush on my cheeks.

"Shuck, it feeling so good." Minho said in relief, laying his head against the pillow.

"Yeah." I mumbled, shutting my eyes.

I felt his strong arms wrapped around my waist, pulled me closer to his bare chest, before snuggled into my hair. Minho sighednin relief while mumbling a good night before his snores started to be heard a few moments. I smiled by myself before letting myslef drifted into a sleep.

I can't believe it. Minho and I was the first one to survive a one night in the Maze.
