To Kiss An Idol

“Ow! I know,” he replied, tired after running so much.

Nivritti sat straight and scolded him, “what would he think about me?”

“Why would he only think about you?” he asked, confused.

“Because he only saw my face. Your face was hidden,” replied Nivritti.

“That is true!” he nodded, sweetly.

“Oh! I need tea,” sighed Nivritti. “But first I need to change my clothes,” she groaned and slowly stood up.

“Um… I can help,” suggested Kyung-Soo.

“Huh?”

.....

“I will start the tea, you go change your clothes,” proposed Kyung-Soo. Nivritti looked at him for a second deep in her thoughts. “I will heat up the food too,” he said.

“Food?”

“Yeah, I brought food for us but when I reached the hospital room you were already asleep. So, I brought the food here,” replied Kyung-Soo.

“Oh! Sorry for sleeping! I had to take care of MY but I fell asleep, sorry. I didn’t sleep well yesterday, so…” she lowered her face with shame.

“What are you talking about? MY was sleeping. There was not much to do. You don’t have to be sorry,” assured Kyung-Soo.

“Well, any news? How is he doing?” asked Nivritti.

At that very moment, his phone rang loudly. He took out his phone and saw the caller ID. It was Jung-Hwa. He showed the phone to her and said, “it’s him. Let me ask.” Nivritti nodded enthusiastically.

Kyung-Soo hit the answer button and said, “Yeah, JJ! What’s the news?”

“Hyung, Hyung, I can’t find her. She is not here,” shouted Jung-Hwa.

“What?” asked Kyung-Soo confused. He completely forgot that Jung-Hwa was still looking for Nivritti all over the hospital.

“Ritti! I can’t find her,” he explained.

“Oh, right! Don’t worry I found her. We are in her home,” replied Kyung-Soo casually.

“What? What?? What??? Why didn’t you inform me before? Do you have any idea how worried I was?” shouted Jung-Hwa. Kyung-Soo immediately removed the phone from his ears, closed one eye and scratched his ear vigorously.

Jung-Hwa kept screaming on the phone. Even Nivritti could hear his voice.

“What did you do to break him?” she asked. “Why is he shouting?”

“Um… he was looking for you in the whole hospital,” said Kyung-Soo, embarrassed.

“Looking for me? Why?”

“Because we left your purse and your phone in the room after we carried you to the car and I told him that you ran away from me,” replied Kyung-Soo.

“And you didn’t inform him after you found me?” commented Nivritti.

Kyung-Soo simply lowered his head.

“Talk to him,” she scolded.

Kyung-Soo placed the phone back on his ears. Jung-Hwa was still shouting. “You are bad Hyung. I have been running all around, everywhere trying to find him. I lost 5 kg after so much running. It’s lucky no one recognised me.”

“JJ! Calm down!” requested Kyung-Soo. “Sorry! We just arrived. There was a problem with the cab…” before he could complete his sentence-

-Jung-Hwa shouted, “what? What problem? Is she alright? Everything is your fault. Why didn’t you remember her things?”

Kyung-Soo slouched his shoulder and lowered the phone in annoyance. He sighed and then spoke on the phone. “JJ! You were in charge of carrying things not me, so that’s your fault. Moreover, she just left in anger. She didn’t even think about her things, she just walked away.”

“What did you do, Hyung?” asked Jung-Hwa.

“Well…” Kyung-Soo had no idea how to explain. “There was a misunderstanding with a doctor, and we fought, and she got angry.”

“A doctor recognised you?” shouted Jung-Hwa.

“Relax! He is okay. He won’t say anything. He is Jae-Hwa’s brother.”

“Ohh! Is she okay or still angry?” asked Jung-Hwa.

Kyung-Soo looked at Nivritti and teased, “she still looks a little angry.”

“What?” shouted Nivritti. “Give me the phone.” Kyung-Soo handed the phone over. “Hi, JJ! Sorry for the inconvenience.”

“No, no, I am sorry. I carried everything and forgot your purse and your phone,” replied Jung-Hwa.

“Don’t be. As NK said, I just walked away, I never realised I was not carrying my phone or my wallet,” said Nivritti.

“Then how did you call a cab?” asked Jung-Hwa.

“I found one at the hospital’s entrance,” said Nivritti.

“Then what was the problem with the cab?”

“Problem was I had no money to give him but NK arrived at the right moment and I was able to pay,” answered Nivritti.

“Phew! So, what did he do that made you so angry?”

“This idiot was physically fighting with that idiot,” replied Nivritti.

“What?” shouted Jung-Hwa.

“Yeah.”

“And why were they fighting?” asked Jung-Hwa.

“They were… oh… I don’t know. Wait! I never asked. NK, why you guys were fighting?” asked Nivritti.

“I want to hear too,” shouted Jung-Hwa. Nivritti pressed the speaker button for him.

“Well, he thought I was kidnapping you. He knew that you left as you told him so he was wondering what were you still doing in the hospital and why I was carrying you,” explained Kyung-Soo.

“And instead of talking out, you guys decided to fight?” scolded Nivritti.

“Bad Hyung, very bad,” Jung-Hwa chimed in.

“Shut up!” scolded Kyung-Soo. He then looked at Nivritti and recalled, “by the way your precious San Jae-Geun started the fight. He just attacked me from nowhere. I was just trying to defend myself.”

“I will deal with him later. I should complain to Jae. She will sit on his head,” gritted Nivritti. “But why couldn’t you talk it out? Why did you have to fight? I scolded JJ for the same thing. You guys have to set an example, not teach stupid things like violence to your fans.”

“Sorry!” replied Kyung-Soo.

Nivritti sighed and looked at the phone. “JJ! How is MY?”

“Shit!” shouted Jung-Hwa. “I completely forgot about him.”

“You left him alone for all that time?” shouted Nivritti, worried.

“I am going, I am going, talk to you later,” shouted Jung-Hwa and immediately disconnected the call.

Nivritti shook her head and handed the phone back to Kyung-Soo. “Call him after 10 minutes and get an update on MY. I am going to change.”

“I will get the tea ready,” replied Kyung-Soo.
