To Kiss An Idol

142 The Everything

With a big grin on his face, Kyung-Soo went out of the room. He immediately covered himself with his cap and mask and walked to the lift. He kept thinking about Nivritti all the way and had a bounce in his steps.

He was also happy that Young-Chul was doing better. He was way calmer. His blood pressure and his heartbeat were normal. He just had to take proper rest. Even Korain was relieved after he heard the news. He knew that boys must be very happy after hearing that news.

He sat in his Land Rover and looked at the prescription. The doctors had mentioned a fake name on the prescription. They were trying their best to hide the fact that Young-Chul was in a hospital. Kyung-Soo sighed loudly and pondered if Nivritti was right.

Should they tell their fans about their pain and tribulations? She was right that their fans needed to see them as human beings and not as some perfect god. They made sure to entertain their fans and now they needed to show them some truth no matter how bitter it was.

He inserted the key into the ignition and the engine roared. Placing his hand on the gear shift, he pumped the gas and the car moved on. He was on his way to get the drug when his phone rang loudly.

He pressed the answer button on his steering wheel and Jung-Hwa’s voice streamed in, “Hyung! It’s my turn to stay the night. I will have dinner and arrive at the hospital. Is that okay with you?”

“Yeah, yeah, it’s fine,” replied Kyung-Soo.

“We will leave food for you,” said Jung-Hwa.

“No need, I am outside, so I will get takeout. Don’t worry about me,” replied Kyung-Soo.

.....

“You are out? Why?” asked Jung-Hwa, concerned.

“Oh, the doctors needed some medicine, it was not available in the hospital pharmacy,” answered Kyung-Soo.

“Oh, okay. I will see you tonight. Take care of MY Hyung,” said Jung-Hwa.

“Okay, see you then. Now, disconnect the call, I am driving,” ordered Kyung-Soo.

“Bye, Hyung.”

“Bye, JJ.” He disconnected the call and smiled as he called him JJ. The name Nivritti gave them now became a part of their life.

Kyung-Soo first bought the medicine and then drove his car through a drive-through fast food restaurant. He ordered burgers, pizza, fries, and cold drinks. After getting the food, he drove towards the hospital.

Grabbing every packet out of his car, he walked towards the lift and climbed all the way to the 5th floor. He opened the door, “I am bac…” he immediately stopped talking.

He froze in his path and softly closed the door behind him. He made sure that there was no noise from the packets he was carrying.

Smiling, he stared at Nivritti. Her hand was softly placed on Young-Chul’s hand but now it was out of his grip. He finally let go of her hand. Her head was awkwardly placed on her upper arm and she was fast asleep. It would have been hard to sleep in that position as Young-Chul was not letting her hand go out of his grip.

Kyung-Soo stealthily placed the packets on the table and moved near Young-Chul and Nivritti. He softly touched their hands with his finger. Both their hands were cold. He covered both hands with the blanket. After looking at his vitals on the monitor and sighing with relief, he shifted his attention to Nivritti.

A lock of her hair was playing on her lips. Her lip gloss made that strand of hair stuck to her lips. He smiled at her and moved near her. With his middle finger, he tenderly moved the lock of the hair and tucked it behind her ears.

After touching her he realised that she was cold. He looked around and saw her overcoat on the chair. He grabbed the coat and covered her to keep her warm. He brought his chair closer to her and sat in front of her.

She looked soft and sweet while sleeping. Her kind, angelic face made a sweet smile appear on his face. Involuntarily, his arms extended to her face, and with the back of his palm, he carefully caressed her cheek.

She groaned and adjusted her head on her arm making his thumb touch the corner of her lips. Kyung-Soo gasped and removed his hand immediately. He exhaled and then again moved his hands towards her.

He was on the verge of touching her lips when a voice whispered loudly, “okay, stop!”

Kyung-Soo stood up guiltily and looked at the person who shouted. Jung-Hwa was standing at the door with his hands on his hips.

“What? What are you doing here so early?” muttered Kyung-Soo.

“I gobbled…” shouted Jung-Hwa.

“Shh, shh,” shushed Kyung-Soo and pointed at Both Young-Chul and Nivritti.

“I gobbled my food and came running here so that you can go home and rest. This is what you have been doing? Ahh… real life k-drama, oh, Hyung, that’s just sad,” commented Jung-Hwa.

“Shut up! I don’t know what you are talking about,” Kyung-Soo lied with ease.

“I saw everything. I was behind you. I even called after you but you walked into a lift. I saw everything,” scolded Jung-Hwa.

“What?” Kyung-Soo’s eyes widened with shock. “What do you mean everything?”

Jung-Hwa moved in his face and enunciated, “ev… ery… thi… ng!”

Kyung-Soo gulped. He had no idea how to react to that or how to look Jung-Hwa in his eyes.

“Just tell her you are in love with her,” suggested Jung-Hwa.

“What? Love? Who said anything about love? Shut up!” Kyung-Soo shouted in a whispering tone. He was actively trying to avoid looking at Jung-Hwa.

“By the way, you said not to contact her, then what is she doing here?” retorted Jung-Hwa.

“She just found her way here. I never told her anything,” protested Kyung-Soo.

“Fine, don’t tell me. I will ask her myself,” said Jung-Hwa. He moved towards Nivritti but Kyung-Soo stopped him mid-way.

“No, don’t wake her up,” pleaded Kyung-Soo.

“Oh, so concerned for her?” pouted Jung-Hwa.

“Not for her, for you,” replied Kyung-Soo.

“What?”

“She was extremely angry that none of us replied to her. She even said that she will hit us on our heads if we don’t reply to her message from now on. You know how she gets when she is angry, remember the chiding Thae received?” informed Kyung-Soo.

“Yeah.”

“Yeah, she chewed my ears off,” pouted Kyung-Soo.

Immediately Jung-Hwa traced his steps back and raised his hands in defeat. “Then let her sleep.” he looked at Young-Chul and asked, “how is he doing?”

“For now, he is good. Everything is back to normal,” replied Kyung-Soo and looked at Young-Chul.

“But how did she find him out when you didn’t tell her? Is she a spy?” asked Jung-Hwa.

Kyung-Soo scoffed and replied, “no, she found him by luck. She had an appointment with her new therapist and somehow, she landed on this floor. She saw me entering the room. She was so angry that we didn’t reply to her that she knocked at strangers’ doors to make sure that the man she saw was me. It was fate, I think. She was sent to help Young.”

“What do you mean?” asked Jung-Hwa.

“We were taking care of Young-Chul from afar but she just came in and grabbed his hands. What happened next was out of this world, he too grabbed her hand, not letting her leave, even though he was sedated,” recalled Kyung-Soo.

“What?” shouted Jung-Hwa. Instantly Kyung-Soo covered his mouth with his hand.

“Shhh!!!” he shushed loudly and removed his hand.

“Will you both shut up? We both are trying to sleep,” moaned Young-Chul.

“Hyung! Hyung! Hyung!” Jung-Hwa kept tapping Kyung-Soo’s chest.

“Ow! Stop it!” scolded Kyung-Soo.

“Young, are you awake?” asked Kyung-Soo.

“Not by choice,” replied Young-Chul, condescendingly.

“Oh, you are awake,” Kyung-Soo raised his voice slightly with happiness. Jung-Hwa happily threw himself on Young-Chul and hugged him.

“Shut up, both of you. She is trying to sleep. She could not sleep at all last night because we didn’t reply to her message. And for the whole day, she kept thinking about us. Kyungsoona Hyung, take her home. She too needs rest,” mumbled Young-Chul.

“When did you wake up, Young?” asked Kyung-Soo, afraid. He was worried that he might have heard everything about him and Nivritti.

“I woke up for a few minutes and she kept mumbling to herself. Then I went back to sleep. Now, I woke up just a minute ago and I heard you two talking like idiots,” groaned Young-Chul.

“Um… Young! Do you remember holding her hand?” asked Kyung-Soo.

“What?” moaned Young-Chul.

“You grabbed her hand and would not let her leave,” said Kyung-Soo.

“You know I don’t like touching anyone, Hyung. Why would I grab her hand and that too when I was sleeping?” snapped Young-Chul.

“Okay, I will take her home. JJ, take care of him. Oh, yeah, this is the medicine, the doctors ask me to bring. Call Doctor Oh and tell him the medicine is here,” Kyung-Soo grabbed the packet of medicine from the table and gave it to Jung-Hwa.

He then moved towards Nivritti to wake her up.
