Minho close his eyes and try to breathe properly when the voice inside his mind is getting louder and louder.
When he open his eyes and see the future is still bright for him, Minho seem to be back at his right state of mind.
Muttering, "What the fuck am I doing here?" and wondering why he have to lose to those people who don't know the true story, Minho turn to avoid being at the corner of the rooftop.
But, when he is about to turn his body, a loud thud of opening door being slammed to the wall startled the shit of him which make Minho to lose his balance and stumble upon the corner of the rooftop.
"Shit!" Minho cursed when he feel no touch of ground beneath his feet.
His life flashes before his eyes and before he knew it he have that kind of regret for being here at the first place.
When Minho is about one meter falling from the rooftop, suddenly and out of nowhere a blurry face appear in the reflection of his eyes. A ray of hope strikes him alive when he feel a strong grip on his right arm.
Shocked, Minho adjust his sight and finally he manage to recognize the face belong to whom.
It is his roomate.
" Stupid, Ho." Hyunjin mumbles while trying his best to pull Minho up but guess the latter is too heavy for his strength.
Without letting go of Minho's hand, Hyunjin sigh. Grabbing the hand tighter this time, he pull Minho again and with all his might he pull him back to the rooftop which is a success.
Hyunjin fall on his back when he manage to pull Minho back to the rooftop. His breath is unstable.
On the other hand, Minho sigh in relief when he is no longer on the air, hanging. He then turn his head to see his roomate is already looking at him with heavy breath.
When their eyes are locked, Hyunjin give him a disappointment look while exclaiming, " What the fuck was that?!"

Around 11PM at the same day, Changbin leave his room due to in need to use the toilet. He climb down the stairs until he reach the fifth floor, he turn to the right side, exiting the very first door and walk and stand in front of one of the standing toilet bowl.
He does his business there and when he finished, he zip the zipper of his new jeans and goes to the sink to wash his hands. Then, when he is about to exit the toilet, he stops when he hear a silent cry.
•••
Hyunjin laugh in disbelief and scratch the back of his head innocently when he heard the truth from Minho. "Man, I can't believe I almost killed you, Ho!"
Minho glare in respond.
They are now sitting on one woodenbench that is placed on the rooftop. "Yeah... That's so silly of me. Well, in fact I believe that you won't do such things like that. But... when I saw you standing here from the basketball court..." Hyunjin pause. He look at the floor and stare there while fidgeting with his fingers before he continues his words.
"...I got scared. And... I don't want anybody to feel what I had gone through... It's honestly... suffocating."
Minho use the corner of his eyes to look at Hyunjin. Of course, Hyunjin dislike the most of suicidal things and Minho know that for a fact. Moreover, he knew what made Hyunjin like that.
About four months ago, Minho was happily walking back to his room after winning a football match with the other team. Having no other thoughts, he entered his room but when he about to close the door and accidentally fixed his gaze at the corner of the room, his thoughts died.
Shocked, suprised, and flabbergasted, Minho went frozen.
They were a group of unfamiliar faces were there, five were just standing behind, watching and laughing the other one sexually harassing his roomate.
Pinning hand to the wall, saying dirty stuffs and leaning closer to face, all were the same things happened to Seungmin except one, the gap between their mouths were closed.
Come to think about it again, the thin tall man was the same man he saw the other day when he was beaten. The way their talk and laugh and how the voice sound like are clearly match.
When Hyunjin grabbed his collar and snapped at him, asking why he didn't helped him that day, it's not that he don't want to but he was rather confused and didn't know what to do or act or react so he just stand there being speechless and was too stunned too move his muscles. To this day, he couldn't forgive himself for doing nothing for his roommate. But, now he have learn from his mistake. That's why when he saw Seungmin got treated the same way that day, he was determined to knock out the purple head man which he fail to if he remember it correctly.
Hyunjin breath softly. " You know... When I first observe Seungmin, I knew there was something off about him. And I was right all along. He was dealing something big. Even bigger than mine before. But... " Hyunjin lift up his head and look at Minho. " What do you even know? You never saw his other side, don't you? That's what I like from Seungmin."
Minho look at Hyunjin without a word. He turn his head when him thoughts begin to haunt him and even though he don't want to say it, his mouth is moving on it own. " Seungmin..."
Still looking at Minho, Hyunjin raise his brow when he hear that name. "Hm?"
"What do you think of him?" Minho asks.
"Hmmm..." Hyunjin place his finger on his jaw pretending to think. " Seungmin,huh? Hmmm... he is... someone I want to protect...maybe? Not to mention, he's kinda innocent."
Minho gulp. " Do you like him?"
Blinking a few times, Hyunjin blush. His hand reach for the back of his neck and scratch at it nervously. "Uhm... actually... yes, I do but... not in that way of course.. He's pretty cute and fun too... but to speak about love..." Hyunjin pause.
His eyes slowly make it way back to Minho and lips forming a unpredictable smile, he says, " I have someone else in mind."
