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?”
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5RPr46FGW
He halted on his track using his strength and tried to free his wrist from the other's strong grip.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xuCOYourx
“We are going to face some fears. ”
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5DEPpzSXf
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.”
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks4bMxYmhL
Jay doesn't even want to think that what his friend was thinking, Merely thought of that was frightening.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteXXtVYGuu
“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.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4mcxxPhGn
“Haaa.....”
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHfX3kyzAR
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.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tcCoInSBc
“Don't even think about it, we are not going back, not now, when we are finally here.”
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN05OnGzGnR
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.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vMymvNqxd
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?”
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fWWAEOiBw
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.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPneFAOzdpb
“Stop thinking stupidly and come here.” Iris interrupted his train of thoughts.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMyvVlJF9o
"You are stupid here, who even...
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMuZhoYvWy
"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.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yBikWkC8t
“Nothing is going to happen, I'm here.” He reassured his friend.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC8r84YyQS
“Don't you trust me?
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DERPYUSSB
“Not even a bit.” jay answered instantly.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0ianzw4Tl
“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?
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaza1dPHjs
“Come on, open your eyes, just don't look downward. Open your eyes slowly and focus above...
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV29G3evQG
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.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYBxWfp9lt
“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.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJfPjOg1Qi
“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?
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZBygPOnRB
Jay tried this time and managed to answer.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54h78ne9I6
“darrk .... maybe mixed with the shade of deep violet.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubg9ZKLJis
“Good, now look at the stars, aren't they shining beautifully??
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOjrpP7Tqi
“They are....
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AfzE2Wk1n
There was a pause for a brief moment.
“Also the moon is..” This time jay was the one who unconsciously lost the hold.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RALtxY1nW
“ I bet you are a moon person..” Iris chuckled slightly. Perhaps he was diverting his attention.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf6kJBBtm9
“ 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.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3AeWRDRNz
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.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL09M2L23e
“ 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.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82rjk4Tu3I
“I was trying to help you to overcome your fear,”
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgbHydUV16
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.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKv9bN71Da
“You also hit me so it's equal. Isn't it?? We should stop this fighting.”
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bdx2y7Vy0
“ I'm not even saying anything, Iris. " Jay continued typing.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO6GfCOYO5
“ It's the same. You aren't talking means you are still angry and maybe want to hit me more.”
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQzUEkp4H7
Jay closed the laptop with a thud. And turned toward his roommate.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ7TnZe6ZB
“You almost gave me a heart attack, Iris.”
Iris brought his hands up like in a surrendered position.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuYL7X2Zqa
“OK, it was my fault. I just wanted to help you.”
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1z7zTEtTZ
“Wanted to help me?? Making me stand on the higher place.” Jay glared at him.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDe5UBzFp9
“ 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??”
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrezuO5BxqL
Yes, he can't refuse he was relaxed for a moment, but also he can't forget that he saw himself die.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa38FzgwZcu
“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.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4dC2Px5mc
“ 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.
