To Kiss An Idol

164 The Unexpected Guests

Nivritti kept asking Jae-Hwa about why did she scream but Jae-Hwa was speechless. She would open her mouth, but nothing would come out of her mouth. Not a word out of her mouth was understandable. She just kept pointing at the door.

“Who is at the door? Speak up girl!” screamed Nivritti but Jae-Hwa pointed at the door as usual. Her wide eyes and open mouth appeared frozen as if she saw a ghost. Shaking her head with frustration, she walked up to the door and then opened it.

The moment she opened the door her mouth fell open. “What the hell?” she shouted at the top of her lungs. “What are you doing? Get in, fast,” she shouted.

Immediately there was a crowd inside her house. Jae-Hwa again yelped as soon as she saw Nivritti’s guests.

“Oh, shut up! Will you stop shouting?” she scolded Jae-Hwa. She then turned to face her guests, “and you stupids! Where are your masks?”

Jae-Hwa involuntarily walked up to Nivritti and started hitting all over her arm, shocked. “ASD! ASD! ASD is in your house. ASD is in your house,” she kept hitting Nivritti and repeating her words.

Every member of ASD was standing inside her house and grinning at her. A few of them moved their neck in every direction to check out her apartment. Young-Chul was the only one who just kept staring at her with no expression. Some might say that he looked angry and constipated.

Nivritti stuck her tongue on her upper molar, sighed loudly and closed her eyes with frustration. She shook her head in anger and looked at Jae-Hwa. “Stop it! Pull yourself together girl!” she snapped at Jae-Hwa.

“Pu… pull… pull myself together? ASD is in your house!!!” she shouted.

.....

“Yes, I can see that,” replied Nivritti. “And I asked you guys a question. Where are your masks? What if someone might have seen you?” she shouted at ASD.

“Don’t shout. We are here to demand answers,” rebuked Korain.

“Answers?” asked Nivritti.

“Where were you yesterday? We sent you so many messages, but you never replied to any one of them,” pouted Thae.

“She replied to me,” smiled Kyung-Soo.

“Don’t be smug, Hyung,” reprimanded Jung-Hwa. “And you, you were ready to hit us on our head when we didn’t reply to you and when we started sending you daily updates, you totally forgot about us,” he shouted at Nivritti.

“Do you have any idea how worried MY Hyung was when he didn’t receive a message from you? He insisted that we should check if you were okay. He must rest but he dragged us here directly from the hospital to check on you,” shouted Jeong-Eun.

“I… wo… he… he is worried?” she shouted. She went in Young-Chul’s face and chided him, “you are worried. I kept sending you messages, jokes, get-well wishes, good morning messages, good night messages, I never received even an emoji from your end. And one time, one time I didn’t send you one, you are here to shout at me? Now you are worried about me?”

Young-Chul gulped and immediately stepped backwards and bumped into Kyung-Soo. “You were right, she is scary. Now I know how TK felt when she shouted at him.”

“How are you here? Did you get discharged?” yelled Nivritti, again and started moving forward towards Young-Chul with clenched fists.

“Okay, okay,” said Kyung-Soo and moved forward and grabbed Nivritti’s shoulder. “You need to calm down. The vein in your forehead is about to pop.”

“Huh… worried about me,” she gritted her teeth at Young-Chul, but Kyung-Soo held her in her place by keeping his grip tight. He pushed her away and made her sit on her couch.

“Didn’t you stay in this area when you first arrived in Seoul, MY?” Him-Chan tried to break the ice. The atmosphere was way too tense.

“Um… I stayed in this apartment. The company had a few apartments in this building, and this was the one allotted to me,” Young-Chul chose his words carefully.

“What?” shouted Nivritti. She opened and closed her mouth a few times, but no words came after ‘what’. She hit Kyung-Soo on his chest and shouted, “let me go. I will kill him, I will kill him.”

Young-Chul jumped away and almost ran towards the door, ready to escape at any given point. “Why? Why?”

“Do you have any idea what was my mental condition? I was frustrated, irritated at everything just because you never replied to me. And now you tell me this was your apartment? Getting updates from everyone is one thing but hearing that you were doing fine from your mouth would have made me so happy. But noooo… that is too much to ask from I-love-my-personal-space-moron. You can grab my hand, not let me go, but asking for a reply from you is too much to ask,” she chided. Kyung-Soo made sure that she was seated in her seat.

Everyone else just kept staring at Nivritti and Young-Chul and enjoying their fight. Well, it was a one-sided fight. Young-Chul was not even making an effort. He was even ready to flee the battlefield.

“You know I am not big on…” sulked Young-Chul.

Before he could finish his sentence, Nivritti interrupted, “big on what? Big on what? Huh…”

“Sorry!” Young-Chul lowered his head.

Thae, Jeong-Eun and Jung-Hwa looked at and signalled each other. They quietly moved towards the kitchen and opened the fridge. They saw the long line of cola cans sitting inside. They picked one each and came back to the living room. While Nivritti kept chiding Young-Chul, they opened the can.

Tsskkk-pop! The cans opened and everything went quiet. Nivritti closed her eyes, turned her head, and opened her eyes to stare at them. Korain and Kyung-Soo instantly facepalmed. Him-Chan collectively hit them on the back of their heads. As soon as Thae, Jeong-Eun and Jung-Hwa looked at Nivritti’s scary expression, it was difficult to swallow the soda.

“Sorry, Ritti! I had no idea what to reply. But your messages gave me great strength,” said Young-Chul softly.

She was still reeling with anger at the three maknaes when Young-Chul opened his mouth. “Ahh…” she shouted and almost got up, but Kyung-Soo pushed her back onto the couch.

“Sit and talk, sit and talk,” he caressed her hair to calm her down.

“Stop it!” she jerked his hands away. “My message gave him strength!! My touch calmed him down, but he had no idea what to reply and when he opens his mouth, it is tell me that he lived here. A member of ASD lived in my house, MY HOUSE.”

“Um… are you angry or are you freaking out?” asked Korain.

“I am angry. She is freaking out!” she pointed at Jae-Hwa, casually. All turned to look at Jae-Hwa. She was frozen in her place and staring at everyone with wide eyes. Her mouth was so wide open that one could easily see her epiglottis.

Jeong-Eun looked at her with a sweet smile, but Korain approached her first. She did not move an inch.

“Oh shit! She is freaking out,” noted Nivritti. “Shit! Shit! Shit! She had no idea and you guys popped up,” she shouted.

“No idea, no idea about what?” inquired Him-Chan.

“That he was in the hospital,” she pointed at Young-Chul. “And that he never replied to me,” she snarled at him.

“Should we get her out of her trance?” asked Him-Chan, worried.

“I will do that,” Jeong-Eun immediately stood up.

“Are you trying to give her a heart attack? Let me!” she scolded Jeong-Eun and went near Jae-Hwa. “Jae! Jae! Yes, ASD is in my house. It’s okay. It’s normal. Look at me,” she said as sweetly as possible.

Young-Chul’s jaw dropped. “She was shouting at me, now look at her. I was better in the hospital.”

Nivritti looked at him and raised her hand to hit him. “Stop talking nonsense! I will kill you. I was better in the hospital, stupid!”

“Sorry!” he again apologised.

“How are you so calm? Why are you not freaking out? ASD IS IN YOUR HOUSE!!!” shouted Jae-Hwa. Nivritti moved her face away from Jae-Hwa to protect her ears.

“Okay, she is out of her trance,” commented Him-Chan. Nivritti instantly turned her head and squinted her eyes at him. “Sorry!” he immediately apologised and lowered his head.

“You know TK came to drop me at my house, right? We work together with them. As you are in my house which is absolutely normal, the same way them being here is normal too. Think of them as your colleagues,” every member of ASD cleared their throat at the term ‘colleague’. Nivritti rolled her eyes and continued, “think of them as your friends.” Everyone nodded. “It’s normal.”

“Yeah, but they have never been in your home,” said Jae-Hwa.

Nivritti became uncomfortable as now she would have to lie. She touched the back of her neck and scratched it. She glanced at Kyung-Soo, cleared her throat, and replied, “right, they have not been inside, but they have been in the parking lot. TK, NK, PJ. Just a few days back, PJ and NK dropped me from the hospital.”
