The girl's body shivered from the cold wind as she stood on the empty rooftop waiting for a certain someone.

"He told me to not be late..."

Minji mumbled to herself before scoffing while thinking about the boy's demanding words.
She waited for a few more minutes before her body felt too cold from the long wait outside as she made her way towards the exit.
She opened the door only to be faced with a panting boy who was carrying a heavy looking briefcase while raising his eyebrows at her.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Jungwon eyed the girl with a questioning look before pushing past her towards the rooftop.
The girl groaned before following behind him as she was trying her best not to lash out on the boy for the time he made her wait.

"You're late"

Jungwon laughed at the girl's irritated statement before dropping the briefcase on the floor to gather the needed equipment.

"I only told you to not be late. Who said anything about me?"

Minji rolled her eyes before glaring at the smirking boy who was quietly giggling at the girl's evident irritation.
Jungwon set up the gun before gesturing the girl to come closer.

She walked up to the boy before following his gestures as she moved to lie down on the concrete floor while adjusting herself to hold the gun.
Suddenly she felt a hand on hers as the boy was assisting her on how to hold the gun correctly.
She quickly felt the boy lying down beside her, his body pressing against hers as he was trying to adjust her grip on the gun while he was growing frustrated.
Minji couldn't focus on the boy's guiding as she felt too flustered from the proximity of their bodies.

"Can you focus? I thought you knew how to use a gun?"

Minji was snapped from her state as she quickly felt ashamed by the boy's question.
She bit her lip out of embarrasment while staring at the floor.

"Uhh, I might've lied about that..."

Jungwon scoffed before pressing his lips into a thin line while closing his eyes to prepare himself for the long lesson awaiting the unexperienced girl.
He began assisting the girl while trying his hardest not to get frustrated as she was having a lot of trouble with the gun.
He groaned loudly as he lost his patience with the struggling girl beside him

"Are you always this slow with learning?"

Minji was growing tired of the boy's grumpiness towards her as she threw her grip off the gun before turning her head to glare at the boy while feigning a sarcastic smile at him.

"Are you always this short-tempered?"

Jungwon only glared back at the girl before gesturing her to move her attention back to the gun.
The girl smirked from the satisfaction of getting back at the boy as she clicked her tongue before grabbing the gun in her hands.
She adjusted it on the edge of the roof before aiming the gun at a person running on the sidewalk.
The boy's words were getting to her as she felt the sudden urge to prove him wrong.
She wanted to show him what she was truly capable of.
She focused for a few seconds before placing her hand on the trigger as she was trying to complete the task very quickly which caused the boy to try and stop her.

"Minji! No, don't-"

The gunshot echoed through the boy's ears as he tried to rip the gun off the girl's grip before it was too late.
He grabbed the gun while glaring at the girl with widened eyes as she was too busy observing her target.

"Why didn't he die? I shot-"

Jungwon threw the gun on the ground harshly to get the girl's attention as he was now very agitated by the girl's reckless behaviour.
The girl snapped her head towards his direction before gulping as she saw him inching his face closer to hers while the fury was evident in his eyes.

"Don't ever do that again"

He said sternly while gazing deeply into her eyes while his look of disappointment along with the sudden cold breeze made her body tremble.
The boy got up while the tension between them kept growing as he began packing the gun away in complete silence.
Minji peeked inside the case as she noticed the rubber bullets next to the gun causing her to furrow her brows out of confusion.

"They weren't real bullets.
Did you really think I'd let you shoot someone off the street?"

Minji chuckled at the boy's words before standing up from the ground as a wave of guilt hit her making her realize how immature and reckless she had been.
She was too focused on showing the boy her abilities that she forgot to think.

"Sorry, I should've listened to you..."

Jungwon closed the briefcase before standing up to face the apologetic girl.
He smiled slightly before looking at the city below as he let the cold breeze hit his face.

"At least you hit a target"

Minji looked up at the boy as she felt a smile making its way to her lips at his small compliment.
Jungwon turned his head to face the girl as his expression froze at the sight of her.

The breeze was gently caressing her face, making her hair flow with the wind as she was looking at the ground with a smile spread across her face.
The boy was finding it hard to look away as the girl's smile was making him feel a warm and fuzzy feeling throughout his body.
The realization quickly hit him as he shook his head to get rid of the strange feeling.

"Stop smiling, you look stupid"

The boy said before walking past the girl as he made his way towards the exit while carrying the heavy weapon filled briefcase.
The girl stood there confused as she furrowed her brows before running to catch the boy.

"What about-"

Jungwon didn't bother turning around as he began walking down the stairs before interrupting the girl mid sentence once again.

"Tomorrow at my place, same time.
I hope you weren't lying about knowing how to fight too..."

Minji watched with her mouth agape as the boy made his way down the stairs after rudely interrupting her for the 100th time.
She scoffed while closing her eyes tightly before stomping down the stairs as the boy was starting to really get on her nerves.
