To Kiss An Idol-Chapter 35

35 The Visit

Thae was beaming with happiness. He had a jump in his walk. While trotting he left her building and went up to his car. He was so happy that the problem between him and Nivritti was completely solved. She gave him not one but two nicknames.

Nivritti was grinning from ear to ear. She was happy to see the cuteness of Thae’s face. He really meant it when he apologised to her. At least that chapter of her life was over. She locked the door after Thae and went to the bathroom.

She took off Kyung-Soo’s clothes and took a bath. Even though she took off her wet clothes, her skin was still a little sticky due to the sweet cola. With a towel on her head, she came out in a baggy white t-shirt and shorts.

After picking Kyung-Soo’s clothes from the bathroom hamper, she washed his clothes. While she was waiting for the wash cycle to get complete, she looked at the big parcel that Thae gave her. She smiled at it and went to the kitchen. Carefully handling two plates and glass she came to the living room and sat to eat her food.

Thae gifted her a lot of food. After she was done eating, she packed the leftover and placed everything in her fridge. Immediately she cleaned all the plates and walked up to the washing machine. The clothes were done. She hung his clothes to dry and removed her towel from her head. It always took a long time for her hair to dry.

She sat on her couch with folded feet and opened her laptop. There were a lot of scripts for her to read. She took a deep breath and jumped right in. 𝑓𝒓𝚎e𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝒆𝑙.c𝚘m

Members of ASD completed their daily tasks of video shooting, interviews, etc and finally met with each other. A few of them then cleaned the house and others prepared dinner. After a long bath, all of them sat to eat together.

After talking about their day, the conversation steered towards the event that happened in the practice room’s bathroom. Everyone heard everything from Jeong-Eun and started teasing Kyung-Soo and Jung-Hwa.

“So, you were locked with Ritti in the bathroom?” teased Korain.

.....

“And you were naked?” laughed Young-Chul.

“No, I was not naked; I was well covered with a towel,” snapped Kyung-Soo.

“Yeah, but you were naked under your towel,” taunted Young-Chul. He was having too much fun. He never left any situation to tease his members.

“And she saw your hot body?” mocked Korain.

Suddenly Him-Chan too jumped into the conversation. “Shut up, Hyung,” both Him-Chan and Kyung-Soo shouted together.

Kyung-Soo shouted as he had enough of their teasing. But no one could comprehend why Him-Chan shouted, not even him. He was getting angry at the thought that Ritti and his Hyung spent time with each other that too naked but was unable to process why he was feeling this emotion.

“What happened to you?” Korain was confused. “Why are you getting angry, JH?” teased Korain. Slowly everyone had started calling each other by the nickname Nivritti gave them.

“Nothing, I am just annoyed with TK’s smile,” he said, mockingly. “He has been smiling like an idiot since we arrived home.”

“Yeah! She is not angry at me anymore,” he really could not stop smiling. “She is angry at JJ.”

“Shut up!” shouted Jung-Hwa.

“She called me cutie,” Thae was behaving as if he was drunk with happiness.

“What?” all shouted together. Those who were drinking water spit it out. Those who had food in their mouth, choked.

“Yeah! She nicknamed me cutie; she is going to call me cutie from now on. Well, when we would be alone but when in public, she will call me TK. You guys have one nickname, I have two. Ha-ha,” it was impossible for Thae to stop smiling.

After hearing this Kyung-Soo, smiled at his brightest. He felt happy seeing how well she treated Thae even though he was rude to her repeatedly. A sudden urge to see her came over him.

Slowly, everyone finished their eating, carried their plates to wash and started to retire to their rooms. But the three youngest members were still eating and teasing Jung-Hwa.

“You messed up, JJ,” teased Jeong-Eun.

“He was trying to be over smart,” mocked Thae.

“I am going to kill you both,” he jumped from his seat to hit both Thae and Jeong-Eun. But before he could reach them, they ran away. He kept chasing after them round and round the table. Thae and Jeong-Eun kept laughing and pointing toward Jung-Hwa.

After running after them for a while, they all got tired and sat again in their seat.

“I will... really... kill you both,” panted Jung-Hwa. They caught their breath for a few minutes and finished their food. They took all the utensils to the kitchen and cleaned them. Finally, all retired to their room.

Kyung-Soo was lying on his bed thinking about Nivritti. He could not remove the image of her in a bra from his mind. He knew she was beautiful, but she looked hot in the morning. Abruptly, he jumped off his bed. He ran to the bag and fished inside. There it was, her clothes. A smirk flashed on his face.

He took out her clothes and carefully placed them in a bag. He changed into a black t-shirt and a pair of jeans. After grabbing the bag, he switched off the light in his room. Stealthily he opened his door and looked around. The house was dark. All went to sleep.

Tiptoeing he grabbed his key and came out of the house. He had a devilish smile on his face as he succeeded in going out of the house without any of his team members even realising it. He put the key in the ignition and the engine roared. Immediately he put the foot on the gas pedal, and he was out of the gate.

In a few minutes, he was below Nivritti’s building. He came out of the car and cursed himself as he forgot his mask in a hurry. Keeping a lookout for people, he climbed the stairs to her house. Sneakily he reached her house and pressed the doorbell.

The whole day Nivritti spent selecting the scripts. The whole day all she had to do was read. She read while sitting on the couch, she read while lying on the couch, she read while standing in the kitchen while her food was heating, she read while lying on her stomach on her bed.

She again came back to the couch and was drinking cola and reading the scripts. She had selected a few that were okay. She was yet to come across a great script. A few of them had a great concept but the grammar was non-existent. She kept those in a separate folder as discussed.

Then suddenly late at night, her doorbell rang. She looked at the clock on her laptop screen. It was 11.30 at night. She was surprised. She had no one in Korea who would visit her at this time. She thought someone rang her bell by mistake, so she waited for them to ring again.

And the bell rang again. Kyung-Soo was nervous to visit her home so late at night. He was more nervous about not wearing a mask. What if someone would recognise him? The next day all his members would wake up to a scandal. He was praying to God that the door would open soon.

On the second bell, Nivritti went up to her door and looked through the peephole. Her eyes widened and her jaw dropped to the floor with shock. Her heart almost came to her mouth as she heard a footstep climbing the stairs. Kyung-Soo too heard that. He had no way to hide. The only way was to run up the stairs.

He turned around and was ready to run upstairs. But before he could make a move, the door behind him opened and he was pulled inside by his t-shirt. Nivritti grabbed his t-shirt and pulled him with all her strength. It was not an easy task for her to pull Kyung-Soo towards her. He was too strong for her.

She pulled him and instantly shut her door with a bang. She held her waist, breathing heavily. Kyung-Soo turned to see who pulled him in and saw Nivritti standing before him, trying to catch her breath. She was looking like a doll in her oversized shirt and short pants. Her hair was tied up in a messy bun. He looked at her from top to bottom. His eyes stopped at her beautiful legs.

“Shit!” he muttered.

Nivritti caught her breath and looked at him. His beauty was mesmerizing as always. He was looking radiant in black. She bit her lower lips and calmed herself down. She was too nervous about him being in her house, late at night. And his being dressed in black was not helping the matter.
