To Kiss An Idol

Chapter 224 - 224 The High

224 The High

ASD stood still while Jae-Hwa drove Nivritti to the hospital. They went to their practice room but instead of practising, they just sat in a round circle waiting for Jae-Hwa to reply. An hour passed by, and still there was no news.

Finally, a message popped up in their group chat, RASD. It was news from Jae-Hwa.

Immediately Kyung-Soo replied, “why are you coming back? You should stay with her. Don’t worry about your work. We will help you select scripts when you guys come back.”

“Yeah, you should stay with her. We will inform Choi-ssi,” replied Him-Chan.

“Oh! I want to kill him. How hard did he step on her toe that she has a fracture,” messaged Jung-Hwa.

“No, I will have to come back. I have to get my things and Ritti’s things from the office,” messaged Jae-Hwa.

“Leave that to me. I will bring everything to Ritti’s apartment. You just calm down, take care of yourself and her,” messaged Thae.

“No, no, it’s okay. I can come back,” replied Jae-Hwa.

“Jae! Listen to him. He will get your things. Just tell him the time you will reach Ritti’s apartment,” messaged Korain.

.....

“No, people will talk if you go and collect our things,” messaged Jae-Hwa.

Her message made everyone lift their heads and they looked at each other. “Well, she is not wrong. Everyone would ask why we are collecting their things,” said Korain.

“What should we do then?” asked Jung-Hwa.

“Involve Choi-ssi,” suggested Him-Chan.

“How?” asked Jeong-Eun.

“He can easily collect their things and bring everything to the lift and then we can take it from there. He can say that our security is bringing their bags to the hospital,” replied Korain.

“That can work,” shouted Kyung-Soo.

“We will ask Choi-ssi to hand your things to us. We will make sure that no one sees us. If anyone asks, tell them that security brought your things directly to the hospital,” Kyung-Soo immediately typed up the message and send it to Jae-Hwa.

“Okay, I will message you guys when I leave the hospital with her. Please talk to Choi-ssi. I would make Ritti call him, but her phone is in the office,” messaged Jae-Hwa.

“I will go and collect everything. I will call Choi-ssi first. Don’t worry,” messaged Jeong-Eun.

He closed the messaging app and called Chung-Ho. Over the phone, he informed him about Nivritti’s condition, “Choi-ssi! We received a message from Jae-Hwa. She wanted to call you, but we said that we would inform you. Ritti has a hairline fracture. Yeah, yeah, she is fine and regained consciousness. She is getting a cast. And Doctor said that she should rest for at least 4 days. No, you won’t be able to talk to her, her phone is still inside the conference room. Yeah, we need your help regarding that. Please collect Jae’s and Ritti’s things and meet me near the lift. I will take their things to them, otherwise, Jae would have to come back here and then go back to the hospital and then drive Ritti to her home. You know, we know her address. Okay, okay, I will be there in a few minutes.”

He hung up the phone and looked at his brothers. “He is bringing the bags to the lift. I will be back in a few minutes.”

“I will come with you,” said Kyung-Soo and both Jeong-Eun and him walked up to the 11th floor. They exited the lift and waited for Chung-Ho to arrive. After a few minutes, he arrived with two bags and two purses.

“Their laptops and Ritti’s phone are in her bag. Tell her to call me, no matter the time. Understand?” ordered Chung-Ho.

“Yes, Choi-ssi,” nodded Kyung-Soo.

“Did you scold Seong-ssi?” asked Jeong-Eun.

“Believe me, I want to, but such mistakes can happen. I am sure he didn’t want to hurt her, and he is feeling guilty. Everyone saw him crying. His mind is preoccupied with reading scripts and Hu-ssi wants an update from him. On top of that, this happened. When I told him that she has a fracture, he practically bawled his eyes out. This is ugly,” replied Chung-Ho.

“But you know how he treats women. There have been so many instances and his name every time comes up,” said Kyung-Soo.

“And do you seriously think he would harm someone intentionally? I don’t think he is capable of that,” protested Chung-Ho.

“People escalate, Choi-ssi,” replied Kyung-Soo.

“Okay, I will keep an eye on him. If something like this ever happens again, he will be reprimanded,” said Chung-Ho.

“Hmm… we will tell her to call you when she gets home,” said Jeong-Eun.

“Go, go, before anyone sees you,” Chung-Ho started pushing them toward the lift and pressed the call button for them.

Kyung-Soo and Jeong-Eun took the bags from him and entered the lift. Now they had to do was wait for Jae-Hwa to reply.

Jae-Hwa kept pacing up and down outside the casting room waiting for the doctor to finish helping Nivritti. The doctor placed the cast on her ring toe and pinky toe together extending to half of her foot for more support. After the cast was done, she was transferred to a room.

Jae-Geun signalled Jae-Hwa to follow him, and he took her to Nivritti’s room. Nivritti was lying on the bed waiting for the IV to be over.

Jae-Hwa ran to her and grabbed her arm. “Are you okay?”

Nivritti smiled at her and said, “you are pretty.”

“Huh?” Jae-Hwa was shocked. “What is wrong with her?”

“She is high on pain meds,” replied Jae-Geun.

“Really?” Jae-Hwa flashed a mischievous smile.

“What are you thinking?” asked Jae-Geun.

“Ritti! How pretty am I?” asked Jae-Hwa.

“Sooo pretty. That’s why PJ likes you,” Nivritti blurted out.

Jae-Hwa’s eyes widened and she immediately placed her palm over Nivritti’s mouth.

“What did she just say?” shouted Jae-Geun.

“Nothing, nothing, you should leave,” she shouted at her brother.

“Remove your hand from her mouth, NOW!!” commanded Jae-Geun.

He moved near Nivritti’s head and asked, “Ritti! What did you just say?”

“Why are you here? I hate it,” pouted Nivritti.

“You hate me,” asked Jae-Geun, sadly.

“Not you!!” shouted Nivritti. “The situations! Whenever I am with you, embarrassing things happen. You saw me in that cute onesie, and then you saw the blood stain on my dress,” she sulked.

“So, you want to be presentable before him?” teased Jae-Hwa.

“Why my house looks strange? This is not the colour of my wall,” said Nirvitti.

“This is not your house. This is a hospital,” informed Jae-Geun.

“What? I am dying?” shouted Nivritti and tried to get up but Jae-Geun grabbed her shoulder and pushed her back into the bed.

“No, you are not dying. Remember your leg is injured,” said Jae-Geun.

“My leg is injured? Again?” asked Nivritti.

“Thank God! She never drinks. She would never be able to handle her liquor,” Jae-Hwa rolled her eyes.

“As if you are an expert in that,” Jae-Geun teased her.

“Hey! I can handle my liquor,” protested Jae-Hwa.

“No, you can’t, you can’t,” Nivritti waved her fingers at her.

“Let’s get coffee. I thought her being high would give me joy. No, it doesn’t,” said Jae-Hwa and walked outside.

Jae-Geun looked at Nivritti and with the back of his hand, softly touched her cheeks, “we will be back. You rest. I will complete your discharge formalities and then we can go.”

“You are my hero,” said Nivritti and smiled at him.

He knew that she will not remember any of it. She would never remember that she called him her hero. He caressed her hair and walked out of the room. He bought coffee for Jae-Hwa, and she sat quietly inside Nivritti’s room while Jae-Geun completed every formality needed to discharge Nivritti.

It was around eight when the doctor gave his permission to take Nivritti away. The effect was pain meds were wearing now. Young-Jae wrote a prescription for her and instructed, “take this medicine in the morning after breakfast and this after dinner as this will make you sleepy. This is calcium and this is Vit. D. It would also help if you spent around half an hour in sunlight every day. Do not, I repeat, do not walk unnecessarily for at least three days. There will be some itching, but it should be fine. But if the itching is unbearable, come to me at once. Also, if your other toes start changing colour, contact me. You will need two more injections and Jae-Geun have assured me that he will administer them at your home, so you don’t have to come here. This is a special covering for your plaster, use it when you go to the bathroom.”

“Okay,” replied Nivritti. “How long will I have to keep this cast?”

“Around 2 weeks, I think you will be fine by then,” replied Young-Jae.

“And I can go to the office?” asked Nivritti.

“For the first four days, don’t put too much pressure on your foot. Walk as less as you can. If it’s not a matter of life and death, don’t get off your bed. Keep your leg elevated at all times,” informed Young-Jae.
