First he turned left, then left again up the stairs, all the way to the top. He pushed the door open and the pleasant September weather cooled my glowing face a little.

*What on earth is he doing up here? It's just like in the series, when the romance on the roof of the school building goes all out!*

He dragged me to the edge of the roof, which was protected from falling by a fence, and finally let go of my hand.

But it felt a bit cold afterwards, so I let it disappear into my hoodie pocket.

He stood with his back to me and marveled at the view:

"Wow. Look at this view Yongbok. I discovered this place a week ago. I can think here and have some peace and quiet."

His long fingers gripped the wire of the fence and he was silent for a while.

It wasn't an uncomfortable silence. We both enjoyed the view.

It was afternoon and the sun was shining. Only a few clouds covered the sky. But what I lost myself in most was the colorfulness of the trees. The leaves increasingly appeared in all colors. It almost looked as if the earth was going up in flames. The leaves moved in the gentle breeze in all kinds of bright orange and red tones.

A short gust of wind blew towards us and made our hair dance in the wind.

While I enjoyed the scenery, I joined the taller one to the front.

We stood there for a while until Hyunjin detached himself from the fence. I turned around questioningly, but he didn't go far. No, on the contrary.

He now stood right in front of me and looked me in the eye.

My stomach tightened abruptly and I held my breath as he stretched out his hand towards my face.

He ran his long fingers through my hair, sending electric shocks through my body.

*What's he doing?*

His gaze shifted briefly to my strand of hair, which he twirled between his fingers. Gently he spoke:

"I love your blonde hair...",

and suddenly leaned towards me. His face came closer and closer to mine!

*Oh shit! He's not going to?*

I instinctively squinted my eyes and waited to feel his lips.

One second, two seconds, ten...

Nothing...

Hm?

I slowly opened my eyes and was startled when I looked directly into his brown eyes. His gaze was penetrating and somehow amused.

*Fuck*

Instinctively, I wanted to take a step back, but I already had the fence at my back.

"Lixie, I want you..."

*Ah holy...! What? He wants ME?! But...*

My heart was racing in a gallop and the blood was rushing in my ears. My face must have been as red as a tomato!

*But how can he...? I'm not into him...am I?*

My head almost exploded and my heart with it. It pressed against my chest with rapid, violent beats. My breathing quickened as the marathon inside me screamed for oxygen.

"I just want to... I just want to free you from the fence, you're stuck there," he added and I immediately felt like the stupidest idiot on earth!

*How can I be so stupid?*

But I didn't get very far with my inner rebuke, because he leaned even further forward and his face was only a few centimeters from mine. Presumably to get a better view of the tangled mess.

His smell surrounded me.

*Shit! Has he always smelled this good?*

This situation was not at all good for my heart.

*Calm down, heart*

I admonished myself, but when his hot breath brushed my ear, my insides exploded.

I only just managed to stop myself from moaning and out of pure self-preservation I pushed the taller man away from me.

I tore myself away from the fence and ignored the tugging at my hair. It had actually got its skin on!

Sinking to the ground in shame, I mumbled:

"We have to get back, the hour's nearly up," and marched towards the door.

My God, I was embarrassed!
