"Aqua Chrysalis houses the most bizarre tenants who call each other by their animal code names. In this jungle of a building.I hate humans.

One moment they say they like something. Then, the next moment they say they hate it.

One moment they get along. The next moment they fight.

They're hopeless, hypocritical beings who are proud and weak.

They continue to hurt people. To destroy what they have in their hands.

In an endless cycle.

That's why I decided not to make any friends.

My name is Butterfly.

Well actually, my name is really Cho. My name means 'Butterfly', so people started calling me that. Since when? I don't remember.

I think the name suits me. Butterflies silently flutter about from flower to flower, watching the world unfold as time moves forward. And keeping distance from interfering in the business of others.

That is the kind of person I am."

Mr. Shark and Miss Butterfly

"Wasn't your goal to make Aqua Chrysalis a peaceful place to live?" I reminded him. "You mustn't run away, Mr. Shark."


Isuru had a fleeting smile. "I'm not Mr. Shark anymore."


"You're the original Mr. Shark. I won't recognize anyone else as Mr. Shark except you."


"Very heartwarming, Ms. Butterfly." He placed a finger on my lip. "Now allow me to disinfect you."


He slowly brushed his lips against mine, letting me feel every sensation to its fullest. We remained that way for a while before moving slightly away.


"Did he touch you anywhere else?" he asked.


"Just to be sure..." He began kissing my neck and moved lower.


The next morning, I woke up beside Isuru. He was still asleep. I got up slowly to avoid waking him and made my way downstairs.


There were two identical letters in the mailbox addressed to me and Isuru.


My eyes widened when I saw what was inside one of them.


"Isuru!" I shouted as I hurried upstairs.
