XXV

After stairs that seemed to never find an end, we finally got to the rooftop. The freezing winds wrapped my body and let my hair dance in the air. From so high above, it seemed like the whole city was visible to us. We walked a little closer to the edge of the roof and "Wow." was the only word that I could say at that moment.

Namjoon opened his bag to pull out a large blanket and placed it under us. He then sat down on it, so I did the same and sat next to him. I sighed a bit at the beautiful scenery in front of us. It amazed me that Namjoon brought me to such a place and it felt like he knew exactly what I liked. Maybe I had the wrong impression of him before.

As I was all in my thoughts, looking at the lights and buildings, Namjoon suddenly handed me a can of beer, which I accepted smiling. He opened his with a loud sigh and got a bit closer to me. We touched our cans and took a sip of the beer. It was nice and very cold, just how I liked it.

"So, Jandi.", he suddenly spoke. I turned my head to face him as I sipped on my beer and made a "Hm?" noise. 

"I want to know everything about you."

I had to laugh so hard I almost spit out the liquid in my mouth. Namjoon just looked at me, confused, maintaining his serious expression. It made me stop laughing and I slowly looked to the ground.

"There's nothing to know about me. I'm just a normal college student with a normal family and a normal life. I'm boring. There's no use in wanting to know anything about me.", I spoke quietly. It wasn't exactly the truth but I knew I didn't want to open up to Namjoon. I didn't want him to make me vulnerable and get control over me. After all, he seemed like a troublesome guy. Like a bad boy who uses girls. And I didn't want to be one of those girls.

A few minutes of silence followed my words, as if Namjoon knew exactly what I just intended. As if he could read my mind.

"Well, do you want to know anything about me then?"

He looked me straight into my eyes, smiling weakly. It was hard for me to keep eye contact with him. Something about Namjoon made me timid every single time I looked at him.

"Would you tell me?"

"Sure."

I changed up my position to face him better and he did the same so we were sitting opposite each other. Then I drank the last sip of my beer and placed the empty can on the blanket under us, spinning it. It stopped somewhat near Namjoon, so I moved it a bit more to him, while he chuckled, and said

"Truth or dare?"
