Today is the day Mark had finally concluded what he really wants to.

He wants to be with Jaemin. No leaving this time.

He felt guilty leaving him without a proper goodbye, and how he cut all their connections.

One that he realized when he left, is that he did love the boy, and he regretted being an ass for leaving him just like that.

So today, he been going around, and is ready to face him again.

By the time he reached his neighborhood, he silently walked towards his front door,and readied himself.

He contemplated whether to knock, or just bust it open and surprise Jaemin.

But before he can do one of the choices, someone tapped his shoulders.

It's a girl.

"Yes?" Mark asked, confused.

"You need anything? I am the owner of the house." she kindly said.

Mark raised his left eyebrow at her.

"You?" he asked, thinking this girl is playing some sick jokes or shit.

"Well, yeah. Name's Nayeon. Im Nayeon. You? And, why are you here again? Need my help?" Nayeon kindly asked.

Okay, let's be honest. She is so annoyed at the boy in front of her.

"Oh, sorry. Name's Mark. But... I came here to uh... See Na Jaemin." he said, scratching his head in embarrassment. He figured Nayeon must be Jaemin's friend or something.

He didn't wanna think Nayeon is someone special to Jaemin.

"Jaemin? oh. Perhaps you are his friend or boyfriend, or I don't know what. And I hate to drop it like this, but..." he left? Did Jaemin got his revenge to Mark? For leaving in the first place?

"Did you not know that he already died, long ago?" Nayeon explained. Nayeon had been living here a year after the unfortunate events.

Mark was taken aback.

"Wait, what? Oh come on! APRIL ONE HAD ALREADY PASSED!" He said, thinking it was all a stupid prank on him.

"You think I'm that cruel to joke about someone being dead? Why the hell would I do that? I don't know 'bout you and that Jaemin guy, but all I know is that he committed suicide, hanged himself, then his body was found! The house is abandoned, then I bought it and lived here!" she angrily said.

Mark felt a little bad for being rude to her, but he cannot help it.

This is it. No more coming back , because there is no one that I will ever come back to again.

He didn't even realize it, but his tears have already rushed down to his cheeks.

His back was then pressed on the wall, and he slid down, then he cried his heart out.

"I-I can't believe it..." he just met him a year ago, at the forest! But when he was about to make it all clear to Jaemin, to tell him that he wanted to start again and make things better for the two of them, it just have to be the day that Mark unexpectedly was given the unfortunate news.

"This is not happening!" he screamed, not caring if Nayeon laughed at how stupid Mark looked right now, or if any of the neighbors heard him wailing.

All he cares about is his lost love. How he can never be with Jaemin again.

He then felt a hand on his shoulder, and when he looked at the owner of the hand, she's already sitting next to him.

"I know nothing about you two, but I get the feeling..." she started, left hand not removing from Mark's right shoulder.

"You know what they say, expect the unexpected."

"How? When the last time I saw him was only a year ago, and we were happy back then!" the two set the "strangers to each other" thing for now, since Nayeon knows that Mark needed someone with him.

"I'm sorry about that, but... burying yourself in sorrow isn't going to change a fact either." she said, now full on hugging the person next to him, seeing herself as him.

"and besides, Jaemin wouldn't want to see you like that, right? I don't know him, not even his face, but I know he's a great person, just by how you reacted earlier." why else would Mark cry his heart out, when Jaemin is a complete asshat to his life? That is why Nayeon already figured that the Jaemin guy is not just "someone" to Mark.

"Come, I'll let you inside. Tell me your story, and maybe I can help you move on." she have already been there, and now that she's with a complete stranger who seems genuinely sad, she wanted to share how she bounced back after her painful past.

And when the two entered, little did they know that it is the beginning of something that no one from the two, expected. Something that will help them forget about the pain, and start something that they would eventually call Love.

You know what they say, expect the unexpected.

...and a white butterfly flew above their heads, to which goes unnoticed by the two individuals.

Even when Mark will never notice it, but there is just something there that will never leave him again, and will forever watch him from afar, protect and cherish him, in a form of a beautiful Butterfly.
