“Good luck! We will wait for thy here!” Bambam shouted. Yugyeom waved to us, before the walls of the maze closed, separating the trolls from Suzy and Baekhyun. Baekhyun used his power to lit up his finger. It was dark inside the maze and if Baekhyun had no power, the only source of light was the moonlight. Sooji held Baekhyun’s arms as they walked through the maze. Even though it was just a one-way maze, walking is not as easy as you think. There were many unknown insects and plants blocking their way. Baekhyun would have to cut them off with his knife.

“It’s alright, Soo. It had stopped. Now slowly go back okay?” Baekhyun reassured and Sooji nodded. She walked through
