To Kiss An Idol

121 The Drama

Thae was grinning from ear to ear and Jae-Hwa was looking angrily at Nivritti.

“Ohh!!” Nivritti felt like an idiot. Now she understood Jae-Hwa’s reaction. She was signalling her not to ask the question because it would lead to humiliation of Jeong-Eun.

“We have tried so many times to teach him, but we all failed spectacularly,” teased Thae. He had Jeong-Eun in almost a headlock.

“Ha-ha,” Jeong-Eun laughed sarcastically. Nivritti saw his face and realised that he was embarrassed.

“It’s okay if he does not know how to drive. He has an army of drivers at his disposal and moreover, you guys are not allowed to drive for your safety purposes. I don’t know how you get to drive,” said Nivritti.

“Wait! You know that they are not allowed to drive but you don’t know that One can’t drive. How selective is your knowledge?” mocked Dae.

“Um...” Nivritti had no explanation.

“Because she is not a fan of ASD,” commented Jae-Hwa.

“What?” shouted Nivritti.

.....

“What? What?” shouted both Thae and Jeong-Eun simultaneously. “You are not our fan,” pouted Thae.

“Who said that?” shrieked Nivritti.

“She did,” replied Jeong-Eun.

“She is lying. I am a fan. I have listened to your music, I have watched your music video. What are you talking about?” scoffed Nivritti.

“What are our names? Who is the eldest among us? Who first joined the band? What is the birthday of ASD? When is my birthday? Leave all that just show me your playlist!” demanded Thae.

“Oh, oh, you want proof. You think I don’t your names. You... you are wrong. Nam Kyung-Soo, Shin Korain, Man Young-Chul, Joh Him-Chan, Pae Jeong-Eun, Kang Thae, Jee Jung-Hwa, these are your names. ASD debuted on 5th August. And here! I will show you my playlist,” Nivritti took her phone out of her pocket and handed it to Thae.

“It’s locked,” Thae raised one of his eyebrows at her. Nivritti grabbed his hand and raised her phone to her face and the phone unlocked.

“There!” she said.

Thae searched for the music app on her phone and opened her playlist. There were only eight songs of ASD in her playlist.

“Only eight songs!!” he shouted. “What kind of fan are you?”

“Shit!” she lowered her head and avoided their eye contact. “Um... baby fan,” she said, softly.

“It is clear that she started searching for you after she applied to this job to prepare for the interviews,” commented Jae-Hwa.

“That is not true,” shouted Nivritti and sneered at Jae-Hwa. Thae stared at her with squinted eyes. “That is true,” she corrected herself immediately.

“Traitor!!” Jeong-Eun shook his head in disbelief.

“And we called you, our friend!!” said Thae, dramatically. He placed his arm on his forehead and looked away from Nivritti dramatically.

“Hey! I know everything about you, well, almost everything. Do you have any idea how many documentaries and videos I had to see for research?” she shouted. Both Thae and Jeong-Eun looked at her with disappointment. Nivritti again lowered her head after looking at their expression and said, “fine. Give me a list of your songs and I will listen to it today itself,” said Nivritti softly.

“It’s too late,” shouted both Thae and Jeong-Eun, together. They looked at one another and started laughing.

“Jinx!” shouted both again.

Nivritti rolled her eyes at both of them. “They were angry at me,” commented Nivritti.

“Idiots!” shouted Dae. “Are you all done with your drama? Can we go?” he was getting annoyed with the display of friendship and rapport among them. He was furious that no one was involving him in the conversation. He was irritated at the fact that it mattered to them that Nivritti must know everything about them. It was clear that her friendship was important to Thae and that irked him.

“Sorry, Seong-ssi,” said Thae and bowed down to him. He then looked at Nivritti, “you! No coffee, no treats for you, ever.”

“TK!” Nivritti spoke softly.

“What?” he shouted back with fake anger.

“Therapist. Consult one. For your anger and over the top DRAMA!” she shouted.

“Give me back my coffee,” he demanded Nivritti immediately took a sip from the cup making Thae contort his lips trying to avoid smiling at Nivritti’s cute action. “Last cup,” teased Thae.

“Thank you,” smiled Nivritti. Thae too ended up smiling at her.

She was done with Thae and now it was Jeong-Eun’s turn to be teased. Thae and Dae sat in the front seats and Jae-Hwa, Nivritti and Jeong-Eun were supposed to sit in the back seat. Mischievous thoughts were swirling in Nivritti’s mind. She made Jae-Hwa enter the car first.

Jae-Hwa thought that Nivritti would send Jeong-Eun to sit next to her but instead of him she herself entered the car and sat between Jae-Hwa and Jeong-Eun. Now, both Jae-Hwa and Jeong-Eun were annoyed with her. But she could not stop smiling. She kept looking at both of them one by one and kept grinning at them.

“You are so bad,” gritted Jeong-Eun.

“Why did you do that?” snapped Jae-Hwa.

“I don’t know what both of you mean,” replied Nivritti, innocently.

“I hate you,” pouted Jae-Hwa.

“Then whom do you love?” Nivritti teased again.

“Shut up!” Jae-Hwa turned away from her and started looking out the window.

Nivritti turned to look at Jeong-Eun who was staring at her with squinted eyes. She knew why he was giving such a reaction to her. He wanted to sit next to Jae-Hwa, but she came in between them.

“What?” she asked innocently.

“Nothing!” snapped Jeong-Eun and he too turned away and started staring outside the window. Nivritti could not control her laughter and started laughing like a maniac.

Dae rolled his eyes at her. “What happened now? Always he-he-he, such an annoying sound,” he thought.

“What happened to you?” inquired Thae.

“Nothing!” she lied. “You know I am crazy, a crazy person who is looking for a therapist.”

“Yeah right! Yesterday you were saying that taking care of mental health does not make you a crazy person and today you are calling yourself crazy,” Thae rolled his eyes, hard.

“Sarcasm, TK, sarcasm!” taunted Nivritti. “Speaking of therapist, Jae, Jae,” she nudged Jae-Hwa slightly with her elbow. “Please talk to your brother. Ask him to help me, pleaseeee!! Find me a good doctor.”

“Huh!” exclaimed Jae-Hwa.

“Help me and I will make sure you are alone with Jeong-Eun once again without anyone noticing,” she whispered in her ears.

“What??” shouted Jae-Hwa immediately. Her sudden shouting made Thae lose control of the car for a second.

“Careful, Kat,” shouted Dae. “You girls! Keep your mouth shut while in the car. Jae-Hwa, your shouting would have caused an accident,” he scolded both Jae-Hwa and Nivritti.

“Sorry, Mr. Seong. Sorry, Seong-ssi!” both girls apologised together and lowered their heads.

“Are you okay, TK?” inquired Nivritti.

“Yeah, yeah, I am fine. Why did you shout, Jae-Hwa?” asked Thae.

“Oh, nothing!” she lied.

“So, will you help me?” asked Nivritti softly.

“I will talk to Oppa. And you don’t have to do... that,” replied Jae-Hwa.

“Do what?” smiled Nivritti.

“Shut up!” Jae-Hwa scrunched her nose.
