Every human being will die. It's fate. Nothing can stop it. It's bound to happen. Most people live their lives to the fullest and fall in love then settle down and have a family. But me? I just smoke and drink waiting for the day fate will take my life away from me. That's the day I look forward to the most. The day I'll finally be at peace.

Chapter 1 ~ A Rooftop Meeting
>> Mi-Ja pov <<

As I walked through the school hall, all eyes were on me, the usual whispers going around about how I'm secretly some sort of drug dealer or about how I'm a prostitute. Even today, I still have no idea where them rumors came from or who started them but whoever did, I always wanted to thank them. Because of them, I was always alone and that's exactly how I liked it. None of the stares really irritated me apart from one person.

Kim Taehyung.

He was the schools cutie. All the girls loved him and wanted to be with him along with his group of friends. I admit he was cute and he did put a very small smile on my face though no one would notice but his stares intimidated me. He'd be there smiling, laughing and talking with his friends but whenever I walked past, he'd stare, the smile leaving his face. It bothered me. Sometimes I'd stare back at him and it'd be like the world would stop, like we're the only people in the room but of course, I was probably just imagining it.

It didn't take long for me to arrive at my usual spot. The school rooftop. I walked over to the railings and leaned my arms on them closing my eyes as the wind swept my hair. It was always so peaceful up here. There was the odd couple making out up here now and again but that was a rare thing.

"You're very beautiful Mi-ya noona" a deep voice said bringing me out of my thoughts almost immediately. I turned around to find where the voice came from and was met with a brown haired boy. Kim Taehyung.

Had he followed me here?

"You're older than me so don't call me noona". He looked in deep thought for a minute before nodding his head and taking a few steps towards me. "So this is where you go.." he mumbled making me scrunch my eyebrows together in confusion. What was this boy on about? "I always wondered where you disappeared to in the mornings and in between classes but I guess I know now". I gave him a small hum in response not wanting to give him the satisfaction of a sentence for an answer.

"I can see why you come up here. It's so calming". I was getting irritated by his presence but part of me didn't want him to go either. After all, he's the only person who's ever talked to me even though I'm not answering him. "I've seen you play piano" he added making my eyes widen in shock causing him to smile slightly. "You play beautifully".

I quickly looked away to hide the blush I knew was slowly forming over my cheeks.

"You like my music?" I asked quietly. I heard a small chuckle followed my footsteps and soon enough he was leaning on the railings just like I was not so long ago. "Honestly I walk down the hall after school most days just to hear you play. Strange I know" he admitted while scratching the back of his neck nervously. I rushed over and stood next to him, looking up at him with what felt like a real smile..not a fake one. He looked down at me a little shocked probably from seeing me smile since it was a rare thing.

"No. Thank you. That means a lot..". He soon returned the smile and let out a sigh, his body more relaxed than it was a second ago. "I never believed the rumors about you and being up here with you now just confirms none of them are true".

My eyes stared at him in confusion as he turned his body around to look at me, his hands soon on my shoulders as he turned me around so I was facing him.

"You're too innocent for any of that" he said with a big smile. I simply rolled my eyes and took a step back from him running my fingers through my hair with a sigh. If only he knew the truth. He wouldn't even be speaking to me if he knew. Sure I might not be a drug dealer or a prostitute but I was still a mess of a human being.

"I'll see you around Mi-Ya".

Before I could get a word out he walked away with his hands shoved in his pockets. I watched until he was no longer in view. After a minute I let out a groan and face palmed shaking my head. I nearly let him in. I shouldn't of done that.

The rest of the day went fairly quickly. I wrote down the notes that were needed in all my classes, went on the roof and smoked a few cigarettes and snook a few glances at Taehyung every now and then. Since the occurrence on the rooftop, I haven't been able to stop thinking about him. He always looked so happy and carefree but on the roof this morning, he looked so serious.

I guess we all have our secrets.
