Butterfly

🦋

넌 마치 butterfly (butterfly, butterfly)
You're just like a butterfly (butterfly, butterfly)
멀리서 훔쳐봐, 손 닿으면 널 잃을까?
From afar, I steal glances; if we touch hands, will I lose you?
이 칠흑 같은 어둠 속 날 밝히는 나비효과
You shine in this pitch darkness that is the butterfly effect.
니 작은 손짓 한 번에 현실을 잊어 난
Your light touches, I forget the reality at once

살며시 쓰다듬는 바람 같아
It's like a wind that gently strokes me
살포시 표류하는 먼지 같아
It's like a dust that gently drifts along
넌 거기 있지만 왠지 닿지 않아, stop
You're there but for some reason, I can't reach you, stop
꿈 같은 넌 내게 butterfly, high
You, who's like a dream is a butterfly high to me

"You know... I remember the times I would always just stare at you." Jaemin started. Mark lazily looked at him, playing with Jaemin's butterfly keychain.

The two are so bored, waiting for the bell to ring, to announce the dismissal of class.

The two have been a lot closer as time passed by. As close as the time when the both trusted themselves for all the secrets, and share their ups and downs with each other.

"I would always watch you from afar, wondering how it would be really nice to be close to someone like you, a literal angel." Jaemin continued.

Mark laughed at Jaemin's choice of word.

"Angel? Really now?" He continued laughing at Jaemin's corny speech.

"Well... Yeah. Anyways, just sharing." he said, now feeling embarassed for even opening up that topic.

"It's okay. I prefer butterfly though, but thanks! You're MY angel though. More?" Mark said. He kinda wants to listen to Jaemin more.

"More, what?" Jaemin confusingly asked.

"Want to share some more? I'm all ears!" He excitedly said.

"And besides, I am super bored. Teacher is still not here, let's use the time! Now share some more!" he continued, waiting for the other to speak.

Honestly though? Mark doesn't give a fuck about what Jaemin wants to say, he just wanna hear his voice some more.

"What should I share? You already know those cringey moments I did. How about you? Share something." Jaemin said. He wants to hear more about him too. Isn't it unfair that Mark knows a lot about him, while he knows just a few?

Mark tapped his fingers at the table, creating a cool sound. (Eye--)

"We're pretty much the same." He said.

Jaemin furrowed his eyebrows. "The same? How so?" he asked.

"You know... I've been watching you from afar too. Look, it may sound creepy, but... I even followed you whenever you'll go home." he shyly said.

Jaemin slowly nodded his head, explains why he knows where to go when he offered Jaemin that he'll walk him home.

"It's fine. But... Why?" he asked, out of pure curiosity. Why would he do that? shouldn't he be minding his own? His happy life? Why would he be interested on someone like him?

"Nothing. I just felt like I want to. And I really do." He explained, not looking at Jaemin, since he is busy tapping his fingers at the table, and besides, his eyes is a little droopy because he felt a little sleepy.

"You know what? Why not sleep? I can literally see how you're eyes closes, and then you'll force it open." Jaemin chuckled at the sight.

"Forcing myself to stay with you. Don't want you to be more bored when I slept." he said, but then he eventually took his sleep time inside the classroom.

Jaemin laughed a little at his silliness.

He felt ecstatic to know that Mark cared for him. And that he got to know the answers of all the questions he is throwing in his mind.

"Anyways though, here." Jaemin handed him his butterfly keychain. It's not that he didn't want it anymore. He just want him to always remember him.

"Why?" Mark asked, not in a bad way.

"Don't want you to forget me." Jaemin joked.

Mark took it to the heart though

Being close to him, is definitely fun, and lovely!

One thing Jaemin never asked himself...

For how long will this last?
