Chapter 150 - 150 The Update

150 The Update

Nivritti picked a slice of pizza and shoved in Kyung-Soo’s laughing face making him stop. She too picked up a slice and ate it. Both kept talking and eating. She fed Kyung-Soo three more slices, and he was full. He was over the moon that she fed him with her hands.

The burn was less painful now and he was glad that he injured his hands. At least she took care of him and was not angry at him anymore. With a sweet smile on his face, he kept staring at her face while she kept cleaning the table.

After she was done with the living room, she washed her cups and dumped all the packets and wrappers in the dust bin.

“NK!”

“Hmm.”

“Call JJ, ask for an update, please,” she requested.

His smile broadened at her request. She was worried about his younger brother and it warmed his heart. He reached for his phone but remembered that he had gel on his fingers.

“You put gel on my hands,” complained Kyung-Soo.

“They must have dried up by now. Don’t be a baby,” scolded Nivritti.

.....

He pouted at her and picked up his phone. He dialled Jung-Hwa and the phone rang. The phone finished its complete ring, but Jung-Hwa didn’t pick up.

“What?” asked Nivritti.

“He didn’t pick up,” replied Kyung-Soo.

Nivritti looked at him, worried. “Is everything okay?”

“Don’t know. Let me call him back,” said Kyung-Soo. He again dialled Jung-Hwa’s number and waited for him to pick up. Again, the phone kept ringing and ringing. Kyung-Soo looked at Nivritti who was staring at him, anxiously.

“Anything?” she asked. Kyung-Soo shook his head in no. the ring was about to be complete when Jung-Hwa picked up the phone at the very last moment.

“Yeah, Hyung,” said Jung-Hwa.

“Where were you? Do you have any idea how worried we were?” shouted Kyung-Soo.

“I was in the bathroom, Hyung. I am allowed to go to the bathroom,” Jung-Hwa’s sulking voice streamed through the phone.

“Okay, okay, how is MY?” asked Kyung-Soo.

“He is sleeping. The medicine you gave me, Doctor Oh injected that and he would return early morning to check up on him. His vitals too are stable. Not for once, his pressure has increased or decreased. He is doing well and from tomorrow Doctor Oh will start feeding him food instead of these IV,” informed Jung-Hwa.

“Oh good!” smiled Kyung-Soo. “You too get some rest.”

“Don’t worry, Hyung. Doctor Oh has made all the arrangement. There is a cot and a blanket. I will be fine,” said Jung-Hwa.

“Okay, TK will be there in the morning with your breakfast,” said Kyung-Soo. “Good night, Jungie.”

“Good night Hyung. Say good night to Ritti too,” said Jung-Hwa.

“He is saying good night to you,” Kyung-Soo conveyed the message.

“Good night, JJ. Take care of MY,” Nivritti shouted so that Jung-Hwa could hear her.

“Hear that?” asked Kyung-Soo over the phone.

“Yes,” replied Jung-Hwa.

Kyung-Soo disconnected the phone and looked at Nivritti. He sighed, “well, he is doing okay.”

“So good to hear that,” sighed Nivritti with relief.

“Thanks to you,” said Kyung-Soo.

“What nonsense! I did nothing,” replied Nivritti.

“I beg to differ,” protested Kyung-Soo. “Your touch, your talk, your words, your presence, everything calmed him down.”

“That’s absurd,” contrasted Nivritti.

“Oh, you don’t believe me. I will ask the doctor to prove it to you,” snapped Kyung-Soo.

“Okay, okay, chill! No need to disturb the doctor,” comforted Nivritti. “He has a lot to do. We should not disturb him with petty issues.”

“Then accept that your presence was a great help,” pouted Kyung-Soo.

“Ahh… you are so stubborn,” sulked Nivritti.

“I can say the same about you,” Kyung-Soo raised his eyebrows at her.

“Fine! My touch did a miracle. MY woke up with my touch,” teased Nivritti.@@novelbin@@

“I know you are taunting but I will take it,” grimaced Kyung-Soo. Nivritti smiled at his sulk and shook her head in disbelief. “I should leave now, it’s getting late. You need your sleep. You didn’t sleep well last night.”

“Right!” said Nivritti.

Kyung-Soo stood up and started moving towards the door. He lowered himself to wear the shoes and when he was done, he moved his hand towards the door. Before he could turn the knob, Nivritti shouted, “NK!”

He turned to look at her. She had her overcoat in her hand. The moment he looked at her, she threw the coat at him. “Good night,” she greeted.

He caught the coat and greeted back, “sweet dreams!” Nivritti smiled at him, and Kyung-Soo left.

She sighed loudly and looked around her house. She was standing alone in the middle of the living room. The pizza box was sitting on the table, giving her company. She placed the box in the fridge and after turning off the lights of the kitchen and the living room, she moved to her room.

It was days since she had time to read her book that was still on her night table. She glanced once at the book and sat on the bed, tired. A big yawn made her open her mouth and her eyes started watering with sleep.

She didn’t waste even a minute. She covered herself with the blanket and immediately fell asleep. As Kyung-Soo said she only dreamed sweet dreams. She was happy in her dreams. She was having fun. She was living her life in her dreams. She even had a sweet smile on her face the whole night.

The alarm woke her up in the morning. After a good night’s sleep, she was feeling energetic. She was ready to rock. The first thing she did was leave a message on Kyung-Soo’s and Jung-Hwa’s phone asking for Young-Chul’s update.

Immediately, Jung-Hwa replied, “he is doing fine. Doctor Oh came early morning and checked up on him. The effects of the new medicine will last for another few hours as he got another dose in the morning and then Doctors will do a series of tests. Don’t worry. Just choose an amazing script for him. That will make him happy.”

Smiling she jumped out of her bed. Dancing all over the house, she made her breakfast, wore her professional clothes and was ready to go to the office.

While she was grabbing her laptop bag, her phone chimed with an alert. It was a message from Kyung-Soo, “just talked with JJ. He said that he already informed you about MY. But you scolded me yesterday for not replying to you so I am replying now that he is doing fine, still sleeping. I will ask every member, whoever would be in the hospital to keep you in the loop. If not, I will keep giving you updates, so don’t worry about MY.”

After reading his message, the corners of her mouth lifted on their own making her smile. She had no idea why she was smiling. She just knew that she was happy to receive his message and happier to hear that MY was doing okay.

She placed the phone in her pocket and grabbed her purse and her laptop bag and walked towards her office. It was only a day that no one had seen ASD, so there were no rumours in the media or even the office. The only thing social media was buzzing about was the sudden cancellation of the daily videos by ASD.

A few fans understood the fact that ASD were overworked due to Rencontre and needed to take a break from certain things so that they could concentrate on more important matters. But a few fans were bad-mouthing saying ASD were getting lazy and more privileged after getting so much fame.

Such types of fights among fans were common so it was not a big deal. They kept fighting with each other and no one paid much attention to them. Some tabloids reported on this news, but major media companies kept quiet.

She reached the office and after greeting everyone, she started her work. Yesterday she couldn’t concentrate because of Young-Chul but today she would get steady updates, so her mind was at ease, and she was able to concentrate better.

While she was switching her laptop on, Jae-Hwa tapped on the partition that separated their desk and asked, “how was your appointment last night?”

Nivritti was shocked to hear her question. “Did Jae-Geun tell her nothing?” she thought. “Didn’t you ask Jae-Geun?” she inquired.

“I asked him. He just said that you finished your session and left. As he was busy, he could not see you off. Don’t worry I scolded him for that,” replied Jae-Hwa.

“Jae-Geun, you idiot! You didn’t tell her about what you did or how you and NK fought. Oh… men!” pondered Nivritti. She smiled at Jae-Hwa and said, “you didn’t need to scold him. I was fine. He is a doctor and doctors are always busy. He took me all the way to meet with my doctor and that is enough for me.”

“Heiranie Unni is the best,” smiled Jae-Hwa.

“Why didn’t you tell me that you knew her?” pouted Nivritti.

“I didn’t know. Oppa told me last night that she was going to be your doctor,” replied Jae-Hwa.

“What you girls are talking about?” interrupted Dae. Both the girls looked at him. He had two coffees in his hand. He placed one at both their tables. They both looked at each other. Dae Never brought anything before then what was special about today?
