Wall after wall after wall Minho kept running. His pumped his arms back and forth as he rounded yet again another corner "Where never getting out of here" he mumbled to himself as he shook his head and kept moving. Releasing a breath here and there, he had been out in the maze since dawn and he planned to be out till dusk. He placed his hands on his thighs heaving in breaths, even the best runners need a break. He tilted his head back up and he looked left and right at his surroundings, seeing nothing but the same stupid ivy colored walls until a little blonde boy leaning against one of the walls caught his eye.

Minho jogged up to the boy and the closer he got the more curious he got "Newt?" he called out to the boy. Newts head twisted to the side watching as his friends figure got closer. When Minho finally reached the boy he stopped where he stood, scratches over the boys arms and legs, blood on his knee, his blonde hair tattered and his face being buried in his hands as he brought one leg to his chest. Minho took one step forward "Newt" he said again but this time softer and with more emotion. Newt didn't look up, he didn't speak, he just silently sobbed into his hands as he continued to bleed. Minho didn't walk away, he didn't push him, he just took a step closer and lowered himself to the ground to sit beside the boy.

This got Newts attention, he looked up at the other his usual bright eyes a dim color. Minho looked at the ground as he twiddled his knife in his hand not looking at the other he spoke "Rough day?" he asked as he raised one eyebrow. Newt was surprised by Minhos attitude of acting as if this was nothing and he solemnly nodded. Minho finally turned to the other "So ya gonna tell me what you did ,or better wordered, tried to do, or are you gonna just sit there?" He asked, his voice and face was unreadable, he was normally like that, afraid to show the world his true feelings.

Newt just stared at the other, he blinked twice then let out a sigh "Have to know everything don't you Minho" Newt said whie he shook his head. Minho scoffed softly and shook his head "I do if it involves you" he said then raised both of his eyebrows "So you gonna tell me now?" he asked looking back down at his knife. Newt snickered "Such a charmer, or should i say sarcastic ass" He said placing his head back in his hands. Minho smiled "Oh shut it you Shank" He said teasingly as he leaned his head down on the wall. Newt knew Minho all too well, he wouldn't let him stall much longer "I jumped" He blurted out as he bobbed his head. Minho turned his attention back to the other and raised his eyebrow, his signature move, "I jumped" Newt repeated gainning more edge in his voice.

Minho realized what the other was talking about and he nodded his head "Why don't you try again?" he said as he stood up grabbing his pack off the floor. Newt perked up his face full of confusion and hurt "W-What?!" he asked looked up at the other. Minho pointed up to the vines "Try again, ill give you a nice little boost and you can try again" he said cupping his hands together making a foot support. Newt glared up at the other "I hate you" he grumbled as he turned his head away. Somehow that made Minho chuckle "No ya don't, you just hate the people who put you here" Minho said twisting his knife again. Newt rolled his eyes "What do you know about me Minho? You don't even care about me, as you just showed" Newt mumbled as he stared up at the other. Minho just shook his head "If i didn't care why would i be here, listening to your sob story, anyone else i wouldve slapped em and told them to keep moving, i believe instead of me not knowing you i think you don't know me" he said angrily. It was odd for Newt, him and Minho, or really him and anybody, anyone he was around they never talked like this, they never had a real conversation. Newt searched the other with his eyes "Are you saying you care about me?" Newt asked tenderly, this conversation wasn't really the best, hell he had just tried to take his life and he sounded like a 12 year old girl. Minho placed his hands on his hips and studied the other before he fell back into the same spot and sat next to the other "Yeah, of course Newt... you, Alby, Frypan and all the others, you guys are like my family" he said softly, he was never one for well emotions, this was all new to him and in honesty he didn't like it all that much "But enough with this sap shit" he said turning to the other a sly smile on his face.

Newt turned to Minho, as sappy as it sounded Newt really needed that right now, he knew he would probably get punched, but it wouldn't be the worst thing to happen to him today. He leaned his head on Minhos shoulder hesitantly. Minho was startled that Newt leaned on him, but he wasn't going to push him away, he slowly wrapped his left arm around the other. Newt fell right into it, he started to continue his muffled sobbing into Minhos arm "Newt, its going to be okay, we will get out of here" Minho said, Newt just brought something in him, it gave him a reason to keep going, it gave him a reason to find a way out of here. Newt shoved his head into Minhos neck and he relaxed feeling the others warmth calmed him "How do you know" he mumbled. Minho looked at the other and smiled softly, he rested his chin down on top of Newts head and looked down at the other "I know because if this place made you nearly kill yourself, then im gonna do all i can to get us out of here, and when i try something i never fail" he said as he relaxed. Newt smiled "That was almost sweet Minho" he said teasingly. Minho smiled "Oh please, you love me" he said nudging him with his shoulder. Newt smiled nervously "Okay, sure" he said as his nervous smile disappeared and he bit his lower lip "More then you know actually" he mumbled softly. Minho tilted his head "What did you say?" he asked softly, although Minho knew, he heard every word and he would never forget it. Newt felt heat rise to his cheeks "Nothing" he said softly, they both relaxed into each others touch as they smiled each to themselves, little did they know, this would be a start to something new.
