It took the force of the entirety of Serim's being to separate Jungwon and Minjae.

It was time for the next maze, and the boyfriends did not want to leave one another.

"No! No! Let me go!", Minjae yelled.

"Minjae come on, we have to go.", Serim said.

"But I need him!"

Team A had already taken Jungwon with them, but Team B was struggling with Minjae.

"Baby, we need to go. Okay? The faster we finish, the faster you can go back go Jungwon."

"But I need him. I can't go back in there without him! I don't have friend anymore...I'm scared!"

Serim and Sangyeon looked at one another.

Minjae was terrified to go into another maze. Hyunsuk had been his comfort person, but now he didn't have him.

Without him, he was afraid of what would happen to him.

"You have me and Sangyeon. Come on. You won't lose us. We will make sure you make it to the circle."

Minjae pouted strongly, letting Serim and Sangyeon take him to the Team B maze.

The group of now three were unsure of how tonight would go.

Soobin had explained Keeho's theory to them, but no one knew how to predict who the robot was after.

"There are so many questions I have.", Sangyeon said.

"Me too. If only the Developer answered us.", Serim replied.

The three walked into the maze.

Serim started to follow his method of getting to the center. The other two walked behind him.

Minjae kept his arms crossed, always looking around.

They didn't see any signs of the robot, but never let their guard down.

Serim inspected every corner carefully.

"Okay no robot there...we're good."

They all stayed close to one another.

It was eerily silent, and none of them likes that a single bit. Not even the usual rustling of the hedge leaves in the breeze could be heard.

"Nah I don't like this. Let's just turn around and not do this.", Sangyeon said.

"Sadly that's not an option.", Serim replied.

"I knew you'd say that."

The more they walked, the more scared they felt. A deep feeling of fear came across them, more than the previous three nights.

Then, they realized why.

"Guys, don't look now, but something is following us.", Serim said.

Sangyeon and Minjae did the exact opposite and immediately turned around.

What they saw wasn't a robot, but a distant figure that disappeared into the hedge.

"No because fuck whatever that is, time to go. I'm not dealing with robots AND ghosts.", Sangyeon yelled.

"I'm with him. Let's keep going please.", Minjae said.

Serim agreed as well and they kept walking.

Occasionally, Minjae would look back and see the figure watching them.

He held his arms tighter around himself each time.

Serim and Sangyeon were walking in front of him, making sure the scene was safe.

"This is weird...usually we'd at least see the robot by now.", Serim stated.

"Maybe he's somewhere setting the hedges on fire again."

"Don't even mention that...I still feel the smoke inhalation in my body."

"Speaking of which, Minjae have you still had any trouble breathing?"

Sangyeon turned around.

"What the..."

"What?", Serim turned around as well.

"Where the hell is Minjae?"

They both looked behind themselves and noticed that Minjae was not there.

"Minjae?! Where are you?!", Serim yelled.

They went back the way they came, but a hedge wall had appeared, blocking them from going any further back.

"Where could he have gone?", Sangyeon asked, "He was right there!"

"I don't know, but we need to find him. Let's keep going!"

The two ran back the opposite way, hoping to see Minjae ahead.

Over in the Team A maze, a similar situation was unfolding.

---------------------------------------------------------

"Where. Is. My. Baby.", Soobin asked.

"I swear Soobin he was right there! He was right next to me!", Seungcheol said.

"Someone is about to get choked to death in here because HOW do you lose an ENTIRE human?!"

"I swear if we knew we would have found him.", Keeho replied.

"So what do we do? I'm not leaving this maze tonight without Jungwon.", Soobin said.

"All we can do is look for him. He has to be here somewhere.", Keeho said.

The group of three kept walking.

Seungcheol was in front, Keeho behind him, and Soobin at the back.

Soobin wondered if the mysterious figure the group had seen when they entered the maze had anything to do with Jungwon disappearing.

Keeho was thinking the same thing.

"You notice how we haven't seen the robot...but we've seen that weird ghost thing?", he said.

"Yeah...it's strange. What could that thing even be?", Seungcheol wondered.

"No idea. Any theories back there Soobin?"

Keeho turned around, expecting to see Soobin. Instead, he saw no one.

"Well shit."

"What? Oh shit where's Soobin-", Seungcheol said.

The two looked around, but saw no signs of either of their missing leaders.

"Seungcheol, what is happening..."

"I don't know man. But this is getting weird."

To make matters even more weird, the hedges next to them rustled wildly, scaring both leaders.

A voice seemed to come from them.

"Help...", it whispered.

Keeho looked at Seungcheol.

"You help it."

"I'm not going over there."

"Neither am I."

"Well someone has to."

The hedges rustled even more, and a shoe came popping out and landing in front of them.

Keeho picked it up.

"It's a tennis shoe."

The hedges kept rustling.

"You two...help!", the voice said again.

"Who are you?", Seungcheol asked.

"Who do you think?"

Keeho examined the shoe and the realization hit him.

"I'm about to lose my shit.", he said.

"Why?", Seungcheol asked.

Keeho walked over to the bushes and reached in, grabbing someone's hand. He pulled and pulled until the person came free and landed on the ground.

They looked up at Keeho.

"Hi! I found you! What the hell are you doing in a hedge maze?"

The person stood up.

"How did you get here, number one. Number two, why?"

"Well I hadn't heard from you in a few days. Then your members told me you were off doing some game, so I wanted to come find you. Make sure you're okay."

Seungcheol stepped up.

"Uh...Keeho who is this?", he asked.

Keeho sighed.

"Seungcheol...meet Yechan of the group 82major. Otherwise known as..."

"This guys little brother!", Yechan yelled.

Seungcheol stared at him.

"I'm starting to see why you said you were gonna lose your shit."
