Waiting For Us | ❝Hyunho❞

"A gorgeous and unique butterfly, Yumenoyona. It technically means Dreamy in Japanese. It was first found in Japan about a thousand years ago. It's very diverse and special. People still don't know whether this species of butterflies exist or not, neither they will even untill they gaze at it themselves.

If someone looks at it's mesmerising wings which are crystal-like, then gazes at a certain person's eyes in front of them, something unexpected will happen between them. It can be affection, pleasant or flickering. It can be love, pain, exhausting or betraying.

The butterfly is considered as a supernatural being. Depending on people's fate, they see them, but no one ever saw it after the last person who did, so it is considered as a myth for now.. "

The university student, Hyunjin, couldn't finish reading the book, the bell for the next class rang.

He walked out from the library as he went to his class as usual. "Hey, it took you long. Were you in the library again?" his friend, Felix asked.

"Yeah, this time i found a very nice book called 'the unseen butterfly' and I could only read it a page" he replied as he sat beside Felix. "Oh, that sounds nice"

"It sounds like a real story- I haven't read it fully though. It's quite interesting" he added as he looked at him. "The unseen butterfly isnt it"

"Yeah, people never saw it after the last person did untill now," Hyunjin said. "I guess it's just a myth"

"Can I copy your hw by the way? I forgot to do it-" Felix asked as he chuckled and nodded. "You're such a perfect student, were I you" he added as Hyunjin gave him his copy.

"Nah I'm not, I just like to study, that's all." he replied. "And that makes you a perfect student,"

"You're very keen." Felix added. "Okay stop you literally say this everyday-" he couldn't finish telling as the teacher came in our class. They stood up and greeted him.

Hyunjin, was indeed a perfect student. He was a hard-working student who lived alone in his apartment. Although he had nice grades, he barely interacted with other people. He only talked with Felix and rarely talked with others. He had long black hair, a mole under his eye, which made him much more handsome than he already was.

Minho was sleeping during class, as always in the back bench. Suddenly, their math teacher came and all of them stood up to greet her, while Minho was still in his dreams.

"So students, I've checked and marked your answers for the math exam. I will call all of you one by one, take your results as I call you." She said as the students sat down and waited for their turn to take their results.

"Minho," called the teacher as everyone looked at the sleeping Minho. "Lee Minho" she called him again as he finally woke up from his sleep and rubbed his eyes.

"Uh?"

"I'm not even surprised anymore," she said as she sighed. "How many times do I have to tell you to do well in maths? You only got 10 out of 50. That's pretty bad, Minho." she added as she gave him his results.

Fuck maths, fuck studying,  he thought to himself. But he wasn't satisfied anyway.
"10 isn't bad," he mumbled to himself as the boy went through his paper.

He wanted to tear his paper into pieces but he couldn't anyway.
Minho, unlike Hyunjin, was not really interested in studying. Specially he despised maths. But he liked one thing, photography. In fact, he was very good at it. His camera was always in his backpack or with him wherever he went. He also liked butterflies, he liked to collect them.

Like Hyunjin, he liked reading books in his free time. Even though he didn't like studying anyway. He had dark brown hair, so were his eyes.

He went out of his class as soon as the bell rang. One of his friends, Changbin, who had noticed his anger, followed him.

"Yo you shouldn't be angry like that" he said as he put his arm around his shoulder. "10 out of 50 is nice c'mon"

"Yeah it is, I'm just overreacting at what the teacher said" he claimed. "Nevermind, you'll do better next time. Remember you got 5 out of 50 in the test before? You got 5 more marks this time, you improved" he told and comforted the older.

"Tch, my parents would be disappointed anyway." Minho replied as he continued walking with his bag as Changbin followed him. "Where do you wanna go today?" he asked.

"Nowhere lol" the older replied. "Not even at the library? I thought I'd show you this one book I had read and it was very nice" he said. "Let's get there some other day" he replied as he sighed and they continued walking.

Time passed, when Hyunjin was going  home after reading random books from the library. It was almost evening when he walked past a field of flowers, alone.

There were several butterflies roaming around that day, which grabbed his attention. So he decided to walk in the field for a while.

"I wish I could be a butterfly, no stresses, no overthinking, just fly around these beautiful flowers" He mumbled to himself. He didn't feel awkward seeing no one else there anyway.

Suddenly, he saw a beautiful species of butterfly, which he had never seen. It flew towards him and rested on his nose. He gazed at it. "Yumenoyona.. "

He tried not to get excited and enjoyed the view of the unique butterfly. It was indeed, a beautiful moment for him. His lips formed a smile, still staring at it.

Click. He heard.

He moved to the direction and looked at the person. That person was none other than Minho, who had clicked a picture with his camera.
The butterfly flew away immediately but unaware of this, Hyunjin stared at the boy who just had taken a picture.

No sooner had he looked at Minho, he also locked eyes with his,

Having no idea that it was basically the start of everything.
