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?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI09kB0ZMaB
He halted on his track using his strength and tried to free his wrist from the other's strong grip.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzDGRpufIE
“We are going to face some fears. ”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFXfzgwkvl
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.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP96CDNq2nf
Jay doesn't even want to think that what his friend was thinking, Merely thought of that was frightening.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIYcE77Qq2
“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.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCy4Ce32UD
“Haaa.....”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbYnSTXUuV
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.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qp8zF0hhR
“Don't even think about it, we are not going back, not now, when we are finally here.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D0N42DPOA
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.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcSvonocIi
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?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFbKa3v78V
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.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUjegsoZ9Z
“Stop thinking stupidly and come here.” Iris interrupted his train of thoughts.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhQkPVmVqr
"You are stupid here, who even...
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPlwXIXgPL
"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.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeJqulpVNv
“Nothing is going to happen, I'm here.” He reassured his friend.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoV9hNRllm
“Don't you trust me?
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopIzo7ZXZv
“Not even a bit.” jay answered instantly.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuIOjExPUI
“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?
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xZ1vAl6Sy
“Come on, open your eyes, just don't look downward. Open your eyes slowly and focus above...
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a1xKfplZ7
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.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuZQbEWAN5
“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.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0W2flpz6I
“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?
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02F368PpWZ
Jay tried this time and managed to answer.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH2yvdfGnI
“darrk .... maybe mixed with the shade of deep violet.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLfQ2EMYqJ
“Good, now look at the stars, aren't they shining beautifully??
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrXHTkNPxK
“They are....
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJMwy6q3gk
There was a pause for a brief moment.
“Also the moon is..” This time jay was the one who unconsciously lost the hold.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cbOAkhEMP
“ I bet you are a moon person..” Iris chuckled slightly. Perhaps he was diverting his attention.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ40TePHjMI
“ 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.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW7nvSRPmi
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.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3lU8x3yn9
“ 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.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNDxELOacv
“I was trying to help you to overcome your fear,”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ox9rbNOMx
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.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD63FJcUle
“You also hit me so it's equal. Isn't it?? We should stop this fighting.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbpS4XIaqe
“ I'm not even saying anything, Iris. " Jay continued typing.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmEfVfFTm3
“ It's the same. You aren't talking means you are still angry and maybe want to hit me more.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifzSYuwDrr
Jay closed the laptop with a thud. And turned toward his roommate.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7qQWP5Zpf
“You almost gave me a heart attack, Iris.”
Iris brought his hands up like in a surrendered position.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3KaHRP8fK
“OK, it was my fault. I just wanted to help you.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiGHeWOCYp
“Wanted to help me?? Making me stand on the higher place.” Jay glared at him.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZz5kxVz9M
“ 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??”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSHmyGlBwU
Yes, he can't refuse he was relaxed for a moment, but also he can't forget that he saw himself die.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuDPOOjEhq
“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.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDBAIycK5a
“ 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.
