Heeseung was panting and had his hands on his knees from running up so many staircases. When he was almost near, he wondered why he didn't just use the elevator. He was such in a hurry to see her. He finally reached the top and opened the door. There she was, Misun was stargazing while sitting on the floor. She likes looking at the sky, whether it's night or day time. The soft smile on her face and the stars in her eyes were visible from the front perspective.
He made sure he wasn't loud and came closer to her. He sat down which made her startled. "What are you doing here?" She asked him, making him chuckle.
"I should be asking you that. How did you even find your way up here?" She ignored him for some time.
"Don't think that we're friends, Lee Heeseung." She answered cutting straight to the point. Now the both of them were sitting looking at the stars that shone brightly just for them. They let the awkward silence fill their space.
His gaze moved to her neck where he saw a patch on it. He somewhat frowned at the sight.
"I came here to say something." Heeseung started the conversation again. She hummed and didn't talk so she couldn't hear it right away.
"I wanted to say sorry." Misun shifted her head to him quickly, making him widen his eyes. He can see her eyes smile a bit. "Sorry, what was that?" she sarcastically asked putting a hand to her ear.
He looked at her in a daze. Heeseung's eyes were stuck on her smile, it was surprising sight to see. She asked again, "You're what?"
He groaned in shyness and frustration, "Agh! You know what I said!" He said, which made her smile widen even more. "Please, one more time, I couldn't quite hear you." She sheepishly smiled.
"I'm I-I'm sorry." She snickered at him. "And what exactly for?" She asked again. He gripped his hair and slapped his own cheeks.
"I'm sorry for hurting you earlier." Misun became so satisfied when she heard those words. "That's sounded great, but apology not accepted." She looked away and his face now had three holes. All this hassle just for her not to forgive him.
"Kim Misun, why?" She looked at him still smiling. She was like an adorable little chipmunk that was laughing silently. "Because it's fun to listen to."
She brought out her phone and starting playing a recording. "Hey!" He tried to grab her phone and stop her from resuming it. It was painful for him to hear. He was chasing her all around the roof that was lit with pretty fairy lights. The recording was still playing.
"I came here to say something."
"I wanted to say sorry."
"Sorry what was that?
"You're what?"
"Agh! You know what I said!"
"Please, one more time, I couldn't hear you."
"I'm I-I'm sorry."
"And what exactly for?"
"I'm sorry for hurting you earlier."
They were still running around on the roof. Misun was smiling, even though she wanted to laugh so loudly while Heeseung was yelling at her. A part of Heeseung was happy, happy because he got to saw a glimpse of misun's joyful side.
"Haha! Did you hear your stutter?" She laughed as he was still chasing her. "Kim Misun! I won't hesitate to scar you again." He acted like that would threaten her.
"Try harder, Lee Heeseung." she sticked her tongue at him. He caught up to her and was right behind her.
Heeseung was near her when she turned to look behind her. Misun stared at him as she continued to run. His eyes widened upon seeing the clothesline she would soon come into contact with.
"Wait, Kim Misun!" He couldn't grab her in time before she fell into the sheet that had been hung up on a line. Heeseung fell with her on the floor with him on top. He couldn't see her face because the sheet covered her face. He was still laying on her and moved the sheet up so he could see her already glaring at him.
"Lee Heeseung, you have 3 seconds to get off." She started counting down as he quickly got off her.
He offered to help her get up but she ignored it. Heeseung pretended to clap his together when she didn't take his hand. "See you, Lee Heeseung." She said, turning her back around.
He only stared at her figure going away. Heeseung decided to stay on the roof for his own time. He thought about life, his friends, what he wants in life. He stayed there for a good fifteen minutes before heading back. Spending time by themselves always felt comforting.

The next day had come and for the first time in forever, Misun felt really tired. She wanted to sleep, but she couldn't because she had to go to school.
Everything was going fine for her, just not only when the class received their score from the first weeks test. Heeseung was handing them out. He had a small smirk on his face that made her think of something.
His seat was in front of her so when he placed his test on his desk, she saw his score. 100?' She mentally screamed to herself. He then handed Misun her test. He came closer to her ear, "Better luck next time." She could've punched him right there.
She gritted her teeth in annoyance. Misun got a 99.5 and she was disappointed in herself. It's a half point difference, but that does a lot to your overall rank.
"I need to study more." She talked to herself looking at her paper.
It was after school, but she still went to the library. She sat down in quietest section. Reviewing every single thing that she had studied for before. She was just torturing herself at this point. Now and then, she would hold her the bridge of her nose in disturbance or grip onto her hair.
Seconds, minutes, hours went by and it was almost sundown. Heeseung was still at the school helping with some paperwork from the teachers. He went to the library to return a book and that's when he saw her. Misun's textbooks and papers was now covered with her head. She was sleeping peacefully at the table.
Heeseung noticed her and walked toward her. He tried to tap her but Misun couldn't wake up. He even called her name, "Kim Misun?" He said softly.
He crouched down to look at her face. Heeseung moved strands of her hair to the side so he could see a better vision. He laughed softly at her sleeping face. Her mouth was open and her face was scrunched up, but when she suddenly opened her eyes, he backed up.
She jumped as she woke up, startled by the person in front of her. Misun quickly packed her things and started to leave, "Lee Heeseung, try that again next time and see what happens."
