Chapter 1

Mariposa was at her dorm when Jaemin called her. It had been four days since he told her about his life and what he does for a living. Four days since they talked last. Normally the two talk to each other every day, however Mariposa told Jaemin she needed some time to think about everything, so Jaemin gave her the space she needs. Even if not talking every day feels very wrong to him. The distance that has been between them for the past four days, has been pretty hard on Mariposa. Together with an exam coming up and starting her period, she has been very emotional the past few days. So when Jaemin finally calls her, around lunchtime, she is way too excited to talk to him and almost starts crying. “hey!” she answers with tears in her eyes.

“Hey Mari, how are you? Are you also on your way to class?” Jaemin asks her through the phone. Mariposa answers, telling him she is just stepping out of the door, ready to get a drink and then go to class. She tries her best holding back her tears, which seems to work. “Do you maybe have time to answer a question I have? You know what I told you four days ago right. So, even though you don’t have an answer to all my questions, just yet, my brothers want to get to know you better and are inviting you over to the house. So, do you want to come over after class?” Jaemin rambles, without pausing. It results in him being out of breath for a while, which gives Mariposa the time to think about her answer and calm down her feelings. Mariposa’s first instinct is to say yes, without a doubt. However after the things she learned four days ago, she is a bit hesitant.

“Well you always spoke very highly about them, so I guess meeting them isn’t that bad. This however doesn’t mean that I know the answers to the questions you asked me four days ago,” Mariposa answers her boyfriend carefully. Four days ago Jaemin told her about his life, he turns out to be part of a mafia group called NeoCityTeam, or NCT for short. In relation to this he also asked some questions about their relationship, but Mariposa could only answer one of those questions four days back.

“I understand, I am just happy you are willing to meet them. Thank you so much Mari. I will see you in class, I am almost at the campus,” Jaemin happily answers and then ends the phone call. Nearby Mariposa steps outside of her dorm and crosses the street to the campus. Since there are ten more minutes left before the start of class, Mariposa quickly makes her way to the café. She really loves living on campus, everything is closeby. When entering the café Mariposa sees her friends, Serenity and Precious. They, just like Jaemin, follow the same course as Mariposa.

Precious waves and gestures Mariposa to stand in line with them, while Serenity orders an extra coffee for Mariposa. After getting their drink, there are only three minutes left before the lecture starts, so the girls need to hurry. The three girls start running towards the lecture hall, with the coffees in their hands. Once they arrive, the door is still open and they can quickly find a place to sit. Out of breath the girls ready their laptops to take notes. Mariposa turns around, scanning the people sitting in the class, after a little bit she finally recognizes Jaemin. He has died his hair again, this time it is a blueish colour.

“Why is Jaemin not sitting next to us?” Serenity wonders, whispering to Mariposa. Mari just shrugs her shoulders, she knows why, but she hasn’t told her friends about what happened yet. She doesn’t even know if she is allowed to tell them.

After two very long hours of just listening to the teacher, the lecture has finally ended. As Mariposa is getting her stuff and putting it in her backpack, she notices that Jaemin is waiting for her. It makes her smile, even though not everything has been solved, he does still want to be near her. “Hello, are you ready to go to my house?” Jaemin asks excitedly as he approaches Mariposa and her friends, almost skipping to them.

Finally, the first chapter is posted! It is still boring now. But I hope you will enjoy! I am really excited for the rewrite! 😄
