[ there's only his breathing on the other side of the line, and he knows what minho thinks of her. what he's probably thinking now, and who knows, maybe he's right, but...
she's been the closest thing to him that he can ever remember. he thinks, all his life. he doesn't know how to feel about it, what to say here. what's even worth saying.
in the end, not much. ]
Yeah. Probably. [ she's briefly told him about what she knows from the future - that they escape, that they fight wicked. he hadn't asked more. wasn't sure if he wanted to know, as much as he was curious. some things... you just don't. ] Nothing to do about it, I guess.
[ He definitely turned to the wrong person if he was looking for sympathy. Minho shuts down when his own friends dies, he's not about to start saying nice things about a girl he hates disappearing.
It's quiet on his end too, feeling a little uncomfortable with the situation, and definitely out of his element. ]
Nope, so try not to worry about it. She's a big girl, I'm sure she can take care of herself.
[ Trying so hard (okay, just a little) to not sound bitter, and not doing a stellar job with it. ]
[ he wasn't really expecting much else. for one, he wanted minho to be aware, and secondly, he just... needed to say it. minho's his best friend. if there's anyone he can trust, it's him. ]
Yeah. I know. [ he swallows, looking down. ]
How... long after where I'm from does Teresa take me? From where I remember.
[ he breathes out slowly, nodding. honestly, he just wants to get it done with. this anxiety over it, knowing how much he's likely to... what, hate her? it's a bizarre concept to him, but coming less and less unlikely as their trip through the scorch goes on.
he just wants to stop losing people. he wants it all to stop falling apart. ]
Okay. [ is all he says, not voicing any of this, because he knows minho can't really relate, and neither of them are really big fans of the whole mushy feelings thing. he just nods, voice with a kind of finality. ] Okay. Well, doesn't matter now.
I gotta go meet some people. Talk to you later, man.
[ after a pause, watching some space out to the side of the phone, he nods. ]
Good that.
[ by meeting people, he doesn't really mean much. just looking to go empty his head for a while. more likely than not, he'll just end up taking a run through the city. try to calm down. focus. ]

It's hard... ]
Probably got sent back.
[ That's not even close to reassuring. ]

Minho has to think back, trying to piece it all together properly. ]
It's just a matter of hours after that.

He's a little concerned about what Thomas means by that, but he's gotta take care of his own business, Minho won't step in. ]
Got it. Be smart, man.
[ Basically the same thing as "take care", but you know, it's Thomas, so the reminder can't hurt. ]
