105 The Brown Jacket
Nivritti was thankful to the man who saved her but was disturbed by the thought that she didn’t get to thank him or even see his face. That man made no sound, or movement, he just helped her and walked away. Was Jae-Hwa, right? Did she have a guardian angel looking after her?
No, that cannot be true. If she had a guardian angel, she would not have experienced such a brutal heartbreak in her life. She would not have uprooted her life and shifted to a different country all together.
Since the day she arrived, so many events happened to her when all she wanted was a boring, repetitive life. But that was not in her kismet, everyday she had to face something or the other. It felt like her life was turning into a movie, twist and turns everywhere.
With a loud sigh, she looked at the plate of food and pulled the plate towards her. Thinking about her eventful life in Korea, she finished her food, went into the kitchen, cleaned all the utensils, and cleaned the kitchen.
After grabbing her laptop from the couch, she went to her bedroom and sat on her bed. She opened the lid of the laptop and found that it has shut down as the battery was drained. Groaning, she stood up and brought the charger.
She plugged in the charger and switched on her laptop. Every page that she opened was still visible as the system didn’t shut down, it simply went to sleep. As soon as the pages appeared before her, she fumed with anger.
She had no idea why she was suddenly feeling hot. Her eyes were burning with heat. One more minute and her laptop would have exploded due to her anger. She immediately closed the tabs and closed her eyes for a minute. After breathing heavily for a few minutes, she calmed herself down and worked for about an hour.
Yawn after yawn was not letting her do her work. Her eyelids were getting heavy with sleep. Groaning and moaning, she got up from the bed, grabbed her laptop and switched it off while walking to the living room. She kept the laptop on the centre table and returned to her room. After putting the eyedrops in her eyes, she tucked herself in and slept.
Meanwhile, Kyung-Soo reached his mansion. Grabbing his bags from the front car seat he walked inside the house. Everyone was busy with their work in their own rooms. Only Thae and Jeong-Eun were watching some series on television.
.....
“How was the shopping Hyung? Did you meet with another woman and walked with her on a beach?” teased Jeong-Eun. Thae sniggered at the tease.
“He, he, he, shut up!” scolded Kyung-Soo.
“Food is in the fridge. Heat it up and eat,” said Thae.
“No, I just had coffee. I will eat later,” replied Kyung-Soo.
“Ooh! Coffee! With whom?” Jeong-Eun repetitively raised his eyebrows and teased Kyung-Soo.
Kyung-Soo contorted his lips and shifted them slightly to the left and stared at Jeong-Eun with disgust and disappointment. “What did you eat? Drugs? Are you tripping? Just go back to your TV, idiot! No better, get me a glass of water, run,” shouted Kyung-Soo.
“Yes, yes, Hyung,” gulped Jeong-Eun and ran to the kitchen.
Hearing all the commotion, Jung-Hwa came running to the living room. He didn’t acknowledge Kyung-Soo, he just snatched the bag from his hand and shouted, “what did you buy?”
Kyung-Soo snatched the bag and said, “nothing is for you. Everything is mine. Go buy your own clothes, you broke millionaire.”
Jung-Hwa smiled innocently showing every single tooth in his mouth. “At least let me see what you bought,” he requested.
“Fine!” Kyung-Soo handed him the bag and Jung-Hwa peered in. Shirt after shirt came out of the bag.
Jung-Hwa kept commenting on every piece of clothing. “Hmm... this is nice. This is okay. I will never wear this. And finally, he took out the jacket, the brown jacket Nivritti chose for him. “Woah! This is nice.”
“I don’t understand why you go and buy things from generic shops. You know you can afford luxury brands,” commented Him-Chan who came out of his room after hearing the expressions from Jung-Hwa’s mouth.
“Just because I can afford it does not mean that I should splurge my money. And I go with the motto ‘affordable and comfortable’,” replied Kyung-Soo.
“No, you go with the motto, ‘cheap and comfortable’,” teased Him-Chan.
“I am an idol of the masses, when they see I dress like them, they like me more, they connect with me more, they love me more. I am stylish even in less expensive clothes,” taunted Kyung-Soo.
Him-Chan smiled, “that’s why you are the leader, Hyung.”
Kyung-Soo too smiled at him and then looked at Jung-Hwa who dumped the contents of the bag on the couch and was about to wear the jacket.
“Don’t even think about it,” shouted Kyung-Soo. All looked at Kyung-Soo and then at Jung-Hwa. Jung-Hwa had half his arms in the sleeve and was staring at Kyung-Soo with his mouth open. In Kyung-Soo’s mind, it was the first thing Nivritti showed interest in and he was not ready to share that with anyone. That jacket belonged to him.
“Take your arms out and hand that jacket over,” screamed Kyung-Soo.
“Hyung!” Jung-Hwa was stunned.
“Jee Jung-Hwa! GIVE ME THAT JACKET, NOW,” shrieked Kyung-Soo.
Jung-Hwa immediately closed his mouth and took off the jacket and handed it over to Kyung-Soo. Kyung-Soo grabbed all his clothes and ran to his room.
“What the hell was that? He didn’t even drink his water,” commented Thae after looking at Jeong-Eun who was standing, stunned, with a glass of water in his hands.
He was about to reach his room when a door on his side opened, and Korain ran into him.
“Why are you shouting?” asked Korain, concernedly.
“Nothing, Hyung,” Kyung-Soo replied while avoiding looking at Korain. He hurriedly moved towards his room when Korain stopped him.
“NK! Weren’t you wearing a blue shirt when you left?” commented Korain.
