Chapter 23: Rooftop

On the rooftop of Jimin's home, Min-hi sat on the small table that he kept outside, throwing tiny rocks at his door. But no answer. "Jimin! Are you really going to be this childish and not say a word to me?" She playfully swung her thin legs backwards and forwards, waiting for her cousin to move his two legs and open that door so she could at least try and understand his behaviour this morning.

Plus, that incident with the bank wasn't funny to her thinking, and it bothered her quite a bit. Maybe letting out some of the load that weighed on her shoulders, wouldn't be so bad. After all, Jimin, was her cousin, her friend and always listened to her whenever she felt troubled with something, even if there was a possibility of her 'what she could call big problems' be the most small and yet insignificant problems. But he still listened to her and never judged her.

But 5 minutes... 10 minutes passed and he still didn't open the door to meet her outside. She huffed and puffed and swung away from the table, landing her two feet on the ground, brushing her two hands against each other to wipe away whatever dirt or dust had possibly stuck to her hand from touching the table.

"Whatever" She glanced at the door. "I'm leaving since you don't feel like talking to me" She spoke, closing in the remaining hope she had, that he would just step out to listen to her. She didn't know exactly why he was behaving like this yet she was trying to understand. Hardly, did she turn her back, ready to go back down, the steel door creaked.

He opened his mouth and closed it again as if he was hesitating whether he should say something or not. "What do you want..." His pouty voice, landed on her airs and she naturally turned her body back in the direction of his voice. The door wasn't completely open, but his small head was sticking out, looking at her.

She stuck her lips together, tilting only slightly her head while letting out a sigh. "Wanna talk?..." She suggested. But she could see from his expression that maybe he really wasn't in the mood, but even so he opened the door a bit more and stepped out, and walked to the table without saying a word. She simply followed him with her eyes without moving an inch of her body.

"Didn't you want to talk?" He interlocked his fingers with each other and placed them between his legs, waiting for her to sit next to him.

She softly cleared her throat and sat next to him, just to have silence filling the air. Clearly, without a doubt, both wanted to say something to each other and yet both just opened their mouths, closed them and curled their lips in, trying to find the words. Which seemed like a difficult task to them at this moment. The breeze was coldish but not to the point of freezing cold. The weather was actually rather okay. They could hear the sound of birds chirping away, the light breeze and the sound of cars beeping and passing through the road at the top of the building, but they could hear everything but the sound of their voices.

"I-" Both ended up trying to speak at the same time, but ended up going once more into silence. Jimin ended up clearing his throat, stealing glances at Min-hi without her noticing it and continued to stare forward, gazing at the city that seemed a bit noisy. "You go first"

"Why did you do that to him?" She questioned him, trying to understand his side while she stared at the ground that portrayed her cousin's shadow.

"Do you think I would do something like that for no reason?" He asked, which made her feel guilty. It's true that after all these years with him, she should know better that he wasn't the type to just throw a fit, just because he felt like it. He didn't even do that when she dated countless guys before. Plus, he was one of his friends to add to it, even if he wasn't one of closest.

"That's why I want to hear you out. I know you must have some reason..." She glanced at him, waiting for him to say something, but he seemed hesitant about it.
