What if Minho still knew Korean?

When the first Gladers arrived

MINHO: 뭐야시발 [Myo-ya Shee-bal]

All the Gladers look confused and are muttering to each other.

ALBY (to Minho): What did you just say?

MINHO: What? You don't understand?

NEWT: Obviously not, bloody genius

MINHO: You guys (gesturing to the rest of the Gladers) only understand English?

After discussing with each other, Alby nods on behalf of all of them.

MINHO (internally): I'm the only bilingual? (internally smirking) It's time to have fun with that.

MINHO: I asked, 'What is this place?'

—Chuck asking for a funny phrase to say to Gally

  MINHO: Here's one - 병신아 [Byung-shin-a]. It means 'potato nose.'

CHUCK: Cool, thanks! (runs off)

MINHO (yelling after Chuck): Throw a potato at him when you say it! A really ugly potato!

—When Thomas became a Runner—

Thomas accidentally crashes into Minho.

MINHO: 씨발놈아! [Shi-bal-nom-a!]

THOMAS: Um, what?

MINHO: I asked if you're okay?

THOMAS: Oh, yeah, I'm fine.

—After reaching the Safe Haven, at WICKED Headquarters—

KOREAN WICKED EMPLOYEE 1: We will have someone escort you to your rooms. Any questions?

THOMAS: Nothing.....창녀 [Chang-nyeo]

EMP 1 (shocked): I'm sorry?!

EMP 2: Thomas, I didn't know you were one to swear.

THOMAS (confused): I didn't swear.

EMP 1: What do think you said, Thomas?

THOMAS (even more confused): ...Thank you?

WICKED employees exchange glances before looking back at Thomas. Minho slowly slips away while everyone is distracted.

EMP 2: Thomas, you just called her a slut.

THOMAS: What?! But Minho said..

NEWT a.k.a. the one to make up Glader slang so that nobody would swear (gets hit with sudden realisation that Minho has been lying to them for 3 years): MINHO!

Minho is gone. The Gladers can only hear the faint sound of someone running down one of WICKED's corridors.

Key: -

뭐야시발 [Myo-ya Shee-bal] — What the fuck

병신아 [Byung-shin-a] — You dumbass  

씨발놈아! [Shi-bal-nom-a!] — You fucker!

창녀 [Chang-nyeo] — slut, hoe, whore

Sorry to any Korean speakers, I'm only fluent in Google Searching phrases

Also, as finals approach, we'll only try to update this book weekly (or whenever Newt realises that she needs to update this).

— Minho (<-- wow, the irony)
