28.

Rosé cooked pasta for dinner and she prepared a lot because she thought maybe Junhoe might eat at the convenience store food again and she thought that maybe he might like the pasta that she cooked.

After she prepared the food to a lunch box, she goes to his apartment and rings the bell repeatedly but no one answered.

"Oh, Rosé? What are you doing here?" Jinhwan asked. Rosé turned around to see Jinhwan who's looking behind her... to Junhoe's apartment door.

"Uh, I--I was just---"

"Junhoe's not there. I think I saw him earlier going to the rooftop. Not sure if he's still there. Do you need anything?"

She shakes her head. Jinhwan noticed the small bag she's holding, "What's that?"

"Ah! I...I borrowed it from him and i'm returning it now...hehe"

Jinhwan just nod at her answer. She's obviously lying but Jinhwan didn't mind to ask her a lot because he's too tired now. He just got back from his shop.

Rosé's heart pound so hard and adrenaline rushed in.

"J-Junhoe!" She looses the hold of the small bag and ran towards where Junhoe is...

Junhoe looked down on her when she's now standing beside him.

"Don't...Don't jump!" She said, her voice and her whole body is shaking.

"Huh?"

"Please don't jump! W-We can talk it out...I'll listen to you so please come down." Rosé offer her hand, she felt her eyes moistened and her heart's beating so fast. If Junhoe do what he's thinking and she's didn't do anything about it.. she will never forgive herself.

"Please... just... come down.." She pleaded, still stretching her arms to reach him out.

"...I'm here." She added.

"Why are you crying?" Junhoe asked, still not coming down from the mono block chair.

Rosé just shakes her head and tears keep coming down from her eyes. She also shakes her arm to signal Junhoe to hold her hand and come down. "Please?"

Junhoe looked at her hand and give her his usual look but this time he's just trying not to laugh. He felt bad thinking their situation right now.

"Silly. What are you thinking? I will not going to jump." He said and go down from the chair.

A sob came out from Rosé, "Then why are you standing up there? Anyone who would see you will think the same way. Don't do that again!" She said as she wipe out her stained tears on her cheeks.

"I was just trying to take a good look of the view. The lights are so beautiful."

Junhoe sat on a long wooded chair. Rosé followed him and sat not far away from him.
