To Kiss An Idol

209 The Period

Kyung-Soo couldn’t understand what Jae-Geun and Nivritti were talking about. All he cared about was that she was in pain. They were talking in codes and Kyung-Soo was really confused.

“You know there is a little stain on your dress, right?” asked Jae-Geun.

“Oh, no, no, not my blue dress,” cried Nivritti, turned her head to look at her dress and immediately stood with her back against the wall. “How did I not feel it?”

“You felt the cramps,” replied Jae-Geun.

“What are you guys talking about?” shouted Kyung-Soo.

“Come with me, I will help,” said Jae-Geun.

“What? No, I am not walking around like that,” she pointed at her stained dress.

“WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?” yelled Kyung-Soo. Jeong-Eun came near all after constantly hearing Kyung-Soo’s yelling.

“Shhh… this is a hospital,” scolded Jae-Geun.

.....

“NK! Female problem!” said Nivritti.

“Huh… what?” asked Kyung-Soo.

“Ugh… my periods!” whispered Nivritti through gritted teeth.

“Oh!! Right!!!!” Kyung-Soo looked flustered. Jeong-Eun too looked away but not Jae-Geun.

“Oh, what am I going to do? I have a session in a few… ah…” she groaned and gasped for air. She clenched her stomach and leaned forward.

“What?” asked Jae-Geun.

“Ritti!” said Kyung-Soo and leaned to look at her face.

Jae-Geun grabbed her arm and said, “Follow me. I will give you something for pain.”

“I am not moving even an inch,” shouted Nivritti.

“Here, take my coat,” said Jae-Geun and started taking off his doctor’s coat.

“No, take mine and wrap it across your waist,” said Kyung-Soo and before Jae-Geun could take off his coat, Kyung-Soo’s coat was already off.

“You don’t have to wrap my coat, you can wear it and it will hide the stain,” informed Jae-Geun.

“I don’t mind you wrapping my jacket,” said Kyung-Soo.

“Take mine,” said Jae-Geun and shoved his coat in Nivritti’s face.

“No, here, take mine,” Kyung-Soo moved Jae-Geun’s hands out of Nivritti’s face and offered her his jacket.

“Let her take mine,” said Jae-Geun.

“It’s better if she takes mine,” said Kyung-Soo.

“Mine!” Jae-Geun gritted his teeth.

“Mine!” smiled Kyung-Soo, sarcastically.

Jeong-Eun kept moving his head left and right according to who was speaking. Both Jae-Geun and Kyung-Soo were in a stupid match of whose coat Nivritti would take without realising that their childish game was making everyone annoyed.

“Aishhh… not again,” Nivritti rolled her eyes. “These two…” she groaned. “Shut it, both of you,” she scolded both of them and then looked at Jeong-Eun, “I am sorry, PJ, but could you give me your long coat. I swear I will clean it and return it to you,” she pleaded.

“My… my coat?” Jeong-Eun was shocked at the sudden request of Nivritti. He was busy watching the weird competition between two men, but Nivritti rejected them both and asked him for a favour. He took off his coat and handed it over to her.

“Thank you,” she sweetly smiled and grabbed the coat. After she wore the coat, she looked at Jae-Geun and asked, “where is the bathroom?”

“You can use the bathroom in the doctor’s lounge. Come with me, it would be empty now. Do you have a pad or tampon with you?” asked Jae-Geun.

Jeong-Eun and Kyung-Soo started looking everywhere except at Nivritti or Jae-Geun with embarrassment. Both placed their hands inside their pocket as they had no idea what to do with their hands.

“Yes, I always keep a pad in my bag,” replied Nivritti. “You two! Inform me immediately the moment MY comes out. I don’t want to be late again.”

“Okay,” both said together still trying to avoid looking at Nivritti.

Nivritti moved away with Jae-Geun and while waiting for the lift she commented, “men! When will they be comfortable with talking about periods.”

“I can say that about you too,” said Jae-Geun.

“What? What do you mean?”

“It’s not only men, but women also too don’t want to talk about it. Take your example, you hid your stain the moment I told you. We should be okay with it. If your hand would bleed or your leg and the blood would get on your dress, would you try to hide it?” asked Jae-Geun.

“No,” said Nivritti, shamefully. “I think you are right, we women too have to start talking about periods because it is just a natural process.”

“Yes, but it will take time. For a long time, periods were considered taboo, we were not having conversations about that. Now slowly, it’s getting the attention it required,” said Jae-Geun.

The lift opened and they both entered in. Jae-Geun took her towards the doctor’s lounge. On the way, he made a pit stop and collected a few things from storage. When they reached the lounge, he showed her the way to the bathroom and handed the bag to her.

“What is this?” she asked.

“Hmm… a clean scrub, a few pads and a pair of disposable panties,” said Jae-Geun, casually.

“Pan…” Nivritti started coughing. “Wha… what?”

“Are you going to keep wearing your already soiled underpants? You know you can throw them away, right? Just change your clothes and dump your dress in this bag. Hurry up, Heirana would be waiting for you,” instructed Jae-Geun.

Nivritti nodded and went inside the bathroom. She took off Jeong-Eun’s coat and then her dress and cleaned the blood and placed the dress on the side. She changed her underwear and again cleaned her soiled panties. While she was wearing the shirt again a wave of cramps made her stop in her action. She held the washbasin and stood there for some time, doing nothing.

When the wave of pain subsided, she caught her breath and stood straight. She wore the full scrub and dumped all the wet clothes in the bag. Half her body, below the waist, was aching. Now she knew why her toe created a problem for her today.

She was surprised by the sudden arrival of the period. She always kept a track of her cycle. And it was 3 days early. She didn’t feel the period coming in advance and it was a shock to her. It embarrassed her before everyone. Oh! How many people would have noticed her stain while she was coming upstairs?

“Shit! Shit! Shit! Why such things happened to me that too in front of MY and PJ and SJ? Ahhh… my life has become one big embarrassing act,” she kept talking to herself. “That’s why I was not feeling well since morning and my stupid ass could not figure out that it was due to my period.” She hit her head with her palm.

After she was done with changing her clothes, she splashed water on her face and breathed slowly for some time. She came out of the bathroom in scrubs and Jeong-Eun’s coat and saw Jae-Geun sitting on a couch staring at his phone.

She moved close to him, and Jae-Geun stood up. He opened his palm and gave her a small box of pills. “Take this when you have bad cramps,” he said and handed her a glass of water.

“Thank you,” smiled Nivritti who took one pill and swallowed it with water.

“Let’s go, your session is about to start,” said Jae-Geun.

Nivritti looked at her phone and saw the time. It was 8.01. “Oh no! late again,” she shouted.

“Don’t worry, I messaged her and told her about your situation,” smiled Jae-Geun.

“You know what, now you have messaged her let’s be late,” Nivritti looked at him with a scary stare.

Jae-Geun gulped and looked at her. “What? Why? What did I do?”

“I almost forgot but now when I looked at my phone, I remembered,” replied Nivritti and dropped her bag.

Jae-Geun smiled awkwardly at her and scratched his cheek. “He-he, what did you remember?”

“That I was angry at you for this phone,” she shouted and waved her new phone in his face.

“What? You don’t like it. It was Nam Kyung-Soo’s choice. I just paid a little amount,” blurted out Jae-Geun.

“It was… NK’s choice?” gasped Nivritti.

“You didn’t know?” asked Jae-Geun.

“No, everyone told me that… well, leave that. Talk about yourself. Why did you pay?” shouted Nivritti.

“Hey! I am your friend. Your friends were contributing, and so I did that too,” protested Jae-Geun. “Is that a bad thing?”

“Yes, that is a bad thing. Why do you have to pay such a big amount?” asked Nivritti and waved her fist in his face.

“You gave me a gift too,” snapped Jae-Geun, back.

“That was nothing. I paid peanuts for that. You paid, I don’t know, millions for my phone,” shouted Nivritti back at him.

“Gift is gift, don’t compare the price of the gifts,” said Jae-Geun.

“Stop lecturing me,” shouted Nivritti.

“Ritti! Just accept the gift and make your friends happy,” comforted Jae-Geun.

“Hmm… okay! Well, thank you for everything. For phone, for this,” she pointed at the scrubs she was wearing.

“You are welcome, now let’s move, Heirana would be waiting for you,” said Jae-Geun.

“Right!” said Nivritti and picked up her bag. Jae-Geun led the way and they moved towards Hei-Ran’s cabin.
