We study the asymptotic stability of a composition of rarefaction and shock waves for the one-dimensional barotropic compressible fluid of Korteweg type, called the Navier-Stokes-Korteweg(NSK) system. Precisely, we show that the solution to the NSK system asymptotically converges to the composition of the rarefaction wave and shifted viscous-dispersive shock wave, under certain smallness assumption on the initial perturbation and strength of the waves. Our method is based on the method of a-contraction with shift developed by Kang and Vasseur \citeKV16, successfully applied to obtain contraction or stability of nonlinear waves for hyperbolic systems.
