The moment Jay revealed that he had acrophobia, Iris almost dragged him towards the rooftop. His protest went in vain because his friend decided not to listen.

“Where are you suddenly pulling me?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuFCrwl7QF
He halted on his track using his strength and tried to free his wrist from the other's strong grip.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KdNVhIRpx
“We are going to face some fears. ”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCMu33H2mz
Iris replied with a serious look which he now showed rarely. Right now they were standing on the stairs because the elevator was taking time and Iris can't wait, knowing that the other party was ready to flee at any moment, so he concluded to use the stairs. It was not easy to go from the 3rd floor to the 6th floor while using the staircase, but iris was dead set to complete his plan that was "time to face some fears.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V6wdilf7K
Jay doesn't even want to think that what his friend was thinking, Merely thought of that was frightening.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBac3nMW4s
“Are you out of your mind? It does not work like that. ” Jay almost shouted when Iris started to tug him again, it was little relief that no other student was passing through the stairs otherwise this situation would be awkward to watch.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y0FWlPoh3
“Haaa.....”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9F2Bx1HMb
Jay took a deep breath when they arrived at the roof, he wanted to run back when he noticed that Iris had loosened his grip but iris acted fast and locked the door.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxNDvViO0N
“Don't even think about it, we are not going back, not now, when we are finally here.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3cUdfXbui
He wanted to argue, but knowing Iris' personality he knew that complaining was useless.
Iris gave him one last look and walked to the edge of the roof. Seeing his friend standing at the end of the roof like he was enjoying it. Even though the end was secured by an iron railing, Jay still felt the anxiety creeping inside him.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tGyw5JE9F
Was he stupid or something? He was about to tell him to come down when same time Iris turned his face towards him while holding out his hand.
“You think that I'm going to accompany you, on your crazy adventure?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡascgH9mF6M
Jay gave him a stern look.
Was he making a joke about his condition?
Did he make a mistake of trusting enough to share his insecurity? He was feeling several emotions at a time.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT0AhB1OHa
“Stop thinking stupidly and come here.” Iris interrupted his train of thoughts.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGA9gAzU9L
"You are stupid here, who even...
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9k7iDjU4S
"Ok, I'm the stupid one, Iris cut him off and accepted wholeheartedly, but can you please come over because my arm is starting to hurt. ”
The fact that he was still holding his hand out for jay.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHsjMsgrSn
“Nothing is going to happen, I'm here.” He reassured his friend.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs7KLM2ooB
“Don't you trust me?
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2BljtsV1X
“Not even a bit.” jay answered instantly.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbL7Z9zzwI
“Jay, ” this time Iris just called his name, judging the seriousness on his face jay let out a long sigh and finally step towards him.
He hesitantly grabbed Iris's hand who gently pulled him to the edge.
His eyes were shut closed, he wasn't even planning to open them any time soon.
He almost screamed in fear when he felt that iris almost let go his hand. He immediately tightened his hold. What?? Did his friend was planning to yank him from here?
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaX1HWO7SB
“Come on, open your eyes, just don't look downward. Open your eyes slowly and focus above...
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9qN5dfVHP
On the given instruction he finally opened his eyes. Was he on a suicide mission??
He took a brief look at Iris again assuring himself that other the person wasn't pulling any joke on him.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfx8vqHHXVi
“Focus on the sky,..” iris slightly tugged on his hand.
He tried to gaze towards to the sky, but suddenly felt a strong wave of dizziness, his heart started fast maybe he is going to faint soon.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEoqkHOqnK
“Don't focus on the sensations in your body. It's just your mind letting these sensations assuming that you are in danger.
The more you will try to suppress them the more they will come back stronger.
Relax your body.
Now.. tell me what color the sky is at this moment?
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJMzo36E4K
Jay tried this time and managed to answer.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcCoidyUZp
“darrk .... maybe mixed with the shade of deep violet.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡng3VGWlkmv
“Good, now look at the stars, aren't they shining beautifully??
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmtjPkummn
“They are....
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsZ7UkYfWI
There was a pause for a brief moment.
“Also the moon is..” This time jay was the one who unconsciously lost the hold.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm84vIMxSj
“ I bet you are a moon person..” Iris chuckled slightly. Perhaps he was diverting his attention.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2pdc91Egi
“ I AM.....moon fascinates me. Or maybe the moon attracts loners like me more than normal ones. Since my chi...

Jay was speaking and randomly glanced down not remembering that he shouldn't dare.
Damn, Jay just realized his position. Before he could measure the distance and panicked.
Someone from behind immediately covered his eyes with one hand and used the other to pull him down.
All this happened in seconds. Jay breathed heavily processing all of the sudden events.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzIwgucB8s
After calming himself, he turned towards the person who's idea this was, wait this wasn't an idea it was a suicide mission.
He punched him in the face. That hard blow made Iris stumbled to his feet.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt2BZ18lfe
“ shitt.. ” He mumbled a curse holding his jaw.
He surely wasn't accepting a punch, not with this much strength.
Seeing his friend grunted in pain didn't make jay feel bad, severed you right.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxGJv4cLJ0
“I was trying to help you to overcome your fear,”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw5TYPsaMn
Iris explained to his friend who was busy typing on the laptop. Jay was sitting on a chair next to his study table while iris was sitting on the edge of his single bed applying an ice pack on his jaw to ease the pain and facing the back of other.
During that commotion on the roof jay was the one who walked out first.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5eKpFvgec
“You also hit me so it's equal. Isn't it?? We should stop this fighting.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNskaExMtWV
“ I'm not even saying anything, Iris. " Jay continued typing.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImDfCrk6ET
“ It's the same. You aren't talking means you are still angry and maybe want to hit me more.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97b7kGga1H
Jay closed the laptop with a thud. And turned toward his roommate.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAambMPlA8
“You almost gave me a heart attack, Iris.”
Iris brought his hands up like in a surrendered position.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM23H0jGDBY
“OK, it was my fault. I just wanted to help you.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRLlvRcsN4
“Wanted to help me?? Making me stand on the higher place.” Jay glared at him.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbqi4fsRP1
“ I'm accepting that my method was harsh, but you can't deny that for a little time you felt relaxed. Even if it was for a minute or seconds you did. Rght??”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG1GgoWxKz
Yes, he can't refuse he was relaxed for a moment, but also he can't forget that he saw himself die.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAGplZDVoh
“Whatever...
Don't dare to include me in your stupid adventures for next time. And I will break your bones if again tried to drag me like this.” He warned his roommate.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZfP95p6sE
“ I WILL NOT DARE TO DO,” Iris emphasized his words to make other believe.
But that was just the start of Jay's adventurous life.
