Chaos Fairy
Now sit back, relax, and enjoy the chaos. 😌✨
Alina was walking toward her next class, holding a few books close to her chest.
Before she could turn the corner, someone suddenly pulled her closer by the waist.
Nikolai Volkov(Ml)
Hello, sweetheart*smiles*
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*Looks up at him and smiles*
You scared me.
Nikolai Volkov(Ml)
*smirks and leans closer*
You don’t look scared.
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*Tries to step back but his arm is still around her waist*
Because it’s you.
Nikolai Volkov(Ml)
*Raises an eyebrow*
So you admit you like it when I do that
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*Rolls her eyes but she’s blushing*
Don’t flatter yourself.
Nikolai Volkov(Ml)
*Notices the blush and chuckles softly*
You’re blushing.
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*Quickly looks away*
I am not.
Nikolai Volkov(Ml)
*smiles and Tilts his head slightly*
So…
Nikolai Volkov(Ml)
Are you free tonight?
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*Squints at him suspiciously*
Why?
Nikolai Volkov(Ml)
*Smirks*
Because I’m asking you on a date.
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*Stares at him for a moment*
You’re very confident.
Nikolai Volkov(Ml)
I usually get a yes
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*Shifts the books in her arms*
Well… today you might get a no.
Nikolai Volkov(Ml)
*Pretends to be offended*
A no?
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*Sighs softly*
I actually can’t.
Nikolai Volkov(Ml)
And why is that?
Alina Sokolova(FL)
Assignments
Alina Sokolova(FL)
I have to submit a case presentation in two days.
Nikolai Volkov(Ml)
*Leans against the wall casually*
So do it tomorrow.
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*Shakes her head*
No, I have to go to the library today.
Alina Sokolova(FL)
I need to find old case files for my research
Nikolai Volkov(Ml)
*Raises an eyebrow*
Old cases?
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*Shrugs slightly*
Criminology student, remember?
Nikolai Volkov(Ml)
*Smiles faintly*
You and your obsession with crime.
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*Rolls her eyes*
It’s called studying.
Nikolai Volkov(Ml)
*Pushes himself off the wall and steps closer*
Fine.
Nikolai Volkov(Ml)
Finish your research.
Nikolai Volkov(Ml)
Then I’ll ask you again.
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*Looks up at him*
You’re very persistent.
Nikolai Volkov(Ml)
*smirks slightly*
Only when something is worth it.
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*Alina feels her cheeks warm slightly* I have to go.
Nikolai Volkov(Ml)
library?
Nikolai Volkov(Ml)
*Steps aside so she can walk past*
Try not to find a murder case that keeps you there all night.
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*Walks a few steps away, then turns back*
No promises.
*She lifts her hand and blows him a quick kiss* See you later
Nikolai Volkov(Ml)
*Nikolai freezes for a second*
Nikolai Volkov(Ml)
*Shakes his head and chuckles quietly*
Troublemaker.
ep 2 first meeting
Alina slows down as she walks.
Her eyes move around quietly
This corridor…
It’s the same one.
The exact place where everything started
Alina Sokolova(FL)
She lets out a small breath.
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*Softly to herself*
Of course it had to be here…
First day of college.
Same corridor.
Same chaos.
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*Rushing, holding coffee and books*
I’m late—I’m actually late—
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*She turns the corner too fast.*
And crashes straight into someone.
Coffee spills.
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*Freezes instantly*
Oh my god—!
Alina Sokolova(FL)
I’m so sorry, I didn’t see you—
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*She looks up.*
And for a second… everything goes quiet.
Nikolai Volkov(Ml)
*Looks down at his shirt, then back at her*
Well… that’s one way to make an entrance.
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*Panicking*
I’m so sorry—I didn’t see you—
Nikolai Volkov(Ml)
*He studies her for a moment.*
First year??
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*Blinks*
…yeah.
Nikolai Volkov(Ml)
*Nods slightly*
Thought so.
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*confused*
What’s that supposed to mean?
Nikolai Volkov(Ml)
You look like you’re running from your own schedule.
Nikolai Volkov(Ml)
*Small smirk*
Figures.
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*She exhales, still nervous*
I’ll pay for the coffee, I promise—
Nikolai Volkov(Ml)
Relax
[He waves it off casually.]
Nikolai Volkov(Ml)
It’s just coffee.
Alina Sokolova(FL)
…you’re not mad?
Nikolai Volkov(Ml)
Should I be?
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*She hesitates*
Nikolai Volkov(Ml)
*Tilts his head slightly*
Go. You’re already late.
Nikolai Volkov(Ml)
*Cuts her off calmly*
You can make it up later.
Nikolai Volkov(Ml)
*He looks at her for a second.*
Start by not crashing into me again.
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*She lets out a small laugh*
I’ll try
Nikolai Volkov(Ml)
*He holds out his hand*
Nikolai
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*Shakes it*
Alina.
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*Alina stops walking for a moment.
Her fingers tighten slightly around her books.*
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*Soft smile*
We really started as strangers...
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*Then she continues walking toward the library*
Alina Sokolova(FL)
…who became friends…
*Her expression softens a little more*
Alina Sokolova(FL)
…and then something more. *She looks ahead, eyes soft.*
ep 3 the file
University library.
Alina stands in front of the entrance for a moment.
Adjusting the books in her arms.
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*Softly*
Alright…
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*She steps inside.*
The quiet hit her immediately.
Rows and rows of books.
The faint smell of paper and dust.
She walks slowly, eyes scanning the shelves.
Alina Sokolova(FL)
(thought):
Okay… where do I even start…
She moves deeper into the library.
Until she reaches—
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*Her expression shifts slightly.
More focused now.*
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*Murmurs softly*
Let’s see…
She starts going through the files.
One by one.
Carefully.
Old cases.
Closed files.
Forgotten stories.
She keeps moving.
Further.
Further.
Until she reaches the very end of the shelf.
One file sits slightly out of place.
Almost slipping off.
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*Hums softly*
Hmm?
She reaches out and grabs it before it falls.
Dust falls slightly as she steadies it.
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*She looks at the cover.*
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*Her eyes pause* (thought):
The date…
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*She blinks.
Reads it again.*(thought):
That’s…
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*Her brows furrow slightly in surprise,
whispers*
What a coincidence…
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*She turns the file slightly in her hand.
Thinking*(thought):
Maybe…
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*A small smile appears.*
(thought):
Maybe this is the one.
She doesn’t open it.
Just holds onto it.
As if she’s already chosen.
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*She walks toward the front desk*
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*Placing the file gently*
Hi… I’d like to borrow this one.
librarian
* nods*
Of course.
After a moment—
The file is handed back to her.
librarian
Return it within a week.
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*Smiles politely*
I will.
She takes the file and walks out.
Evening air greets her.
Alina Sokolova(FL)
*Checks her phone*
6:00…
Alina Sokolova(FL)
(thought): Mila must be at the bakery by now.
She adjusts the file in her arms and starts walking.
Completely unaware…
that this one file is about to change everything.
She heads toward the bakery.
