A/N: "let's make this super sad!" :))))) I was feeling inspired to be sad :)))))

"Listen to me, (y/n)! My feelings for you are real!"

It was unfair of him but the only way Minho would be able to talk to you, really talk to you was when you were alone. He had cornered you in a secluded area of The Glade but had made sure that if you wanted to, you could leave.

Minho's features suddenly become enhanced, all the times you caught yourself staring at him and all the times you wanted to tell him how you felt crashed over you like a wave. All at once you found yourself needing to be with Minho but instead of listening to your heart, you listen instead to your head.

Now, you contemplate leaving.

"No Minho, how could they be? We've been here for two years and you didn't say anything but now that Thomas is here and showing interest in me, you've suddenly always had feelings for me?!" You press your hands on his chest, trying to push Minho away.

"(Y/n), look me in the eye and tell me I'm lying when I tell you I love you" His hands slide down to your waist and you don't. Frozen and unable to form words, you furiously try to convince yourself he's lying.

But he's not.

Minho loves you.

There's silence between you as your gaze doesn't leave Minho's features.

Similar to the first time you'd met, you feel the butterflies in your stomach and the weakness in your legs. You notice Minho's eyes flicker to your lips and your gaze falls on his. You inch closer and Minho does the same but before your lips touch, you pull away. Confused, Minho's arms let you go and you take the chance to step back.

"Minho, I...

....................

...................

I don't love you."

Third Person POV

Minho lies on his back, staring up at the sky. It's night, he sees clouds and even stars but he can't trust that they're real. They're probably fake, an illusion by WICKED. Anger starts boiling up in him but the thought of (y/n)  smiling up at them calms Minho down. He even hears (y/n)'s laughter and he wishes he was the reason behind it. 

He's feeling it all again. Even though they escaped, Minho can't help but feel like he lost the most important person in his life back in The Maze. It happens from time to time. Minho's hit with this huge wave of raging emotions. 

It's not even a proper wave, it doesn't come suddenly, knocking Minho over. He's not even allowed to get back up and move on once it's done with him. Instead, it comes slow, intensifying with everything thought of love for (y/n). 

(Y/N) is all Minho can think about, everytime he pictures (y/n)'s smile, the wave builds but is yet to wash over him. 

Then, Minho thinks about (y/n) laugh and voice and the need to be able to be the reason for (y/n)'s laugh. The wave, it builds even more but there's no impact yet. The crash comes when Minho realizes how much he's actually in love with his person. So, so much that there isn't even enough stars in the whole galaxy that would fill up the void he feels. 

Energy surges through Minho thinking about how happy (y/n) makes him and yet, the wave's impact isn't over. The wave pulls Minho's under, drowning him with the realisation of how impossible it all is. It finally hits him; Minho can love (y/n) all he wants but he lost them back in The Glade.
