Chapter 206 - The Sleepy, Nivritti

206 The Sleepy, Nivritti

Chung-Ho entered the department and greeted everyone good morning. His eyes then fell on Nivritti who was sitting in her seat dozing off. She was trying hard to keep her eyes open, but the support of her hand was making it difficult.

He smiled at her and walked up to her. He saw that her hand was on a spam mail, and she was trying to read it, but her eyes kept closing. Softly, he placed his hand on her shoulder and tenderly tapped on it. She let out a yelp and jumped from her seat.

“Woah! Woah! It’s me. Are you okay?” said Chung-Ho and immediately stepped back. “Woah! Why do you look so white?” he touched her forehead. “You don’t have a fever. Are you okay?”

For a few seconds, she kept breathing in an out and calmed her heart that was racing fast. Nivritti then sighed, “it’s nothing. Just could not sleep well last night so my leg is paining.”

“And you walked all the way here?” shouted Chung-Ho.

“No, no, I took a cab,” replied Nivritti.

Chung-Ho flicked her forehead and scolded, “I am talking about walking all the way up.”

“I can not fly, CH,” joked Nivritti.

He again flicked her head and rebuked, “you can take a leave.”

.....

“Stop flicking! Ow!” shouted Nivritti.

“Will you be able to work today?” asked Chung-Ho.

“Ah!” she blew a big puff of air. “I am trying.”

“You were about to sleep, Ritti!” said Chung-Ho.

“Now I am not. You made my sleep go away,” pouted Nivritti.

“I don’t care. Go back home,” ordered Chung-Ho.

“But CH…” she protested.

“Good morning, Choi-ssi,” Jae-Hwa greeted him as soon as she walked in. “Woah! What happened to you?” she asked Nivritti.

“She is not feeling well, so I am sending her home,” informed Chung-Ho.

“What?” shouted Jae-Hwa. She dumped her bags on her table and immediately touched Nivritti’s forehead. “You don’t have a fever. Is it your toe?”

“Yes, it’s aching,” replied Nivritti.

“Did you take your medicine?” asked Jae-Hwa.

“Yes, I did. That’s why I am feeling sleepy,” answered Nivritti.

“If you are sleepy, you should go back home and rest. How will you do any job if you keep sleeping on your desk?” scolded Chung-Ho.

“But the update is session is coming soon. Its just days away. I have to ask the template from Dae,” said Nivritti.

“What?” shouted Chung-Ho. “He didn’t share it with you guys?”

“Relax! He said he would send us a mail. Maybe he forgot,” replied Nivritti.

“I will talk to him. Now you pack your bags and go home,” ordered Chung-Ho.

“But CH…”

“I am marking this day as your leave. Stay here, go home, you are officially on leave. Now the decision is yours,” snapped Chung-Ho.

“Woah! No need to be so rude. Fine! I am going home,” she yawned.

“My god! She is yawning and she wanted to stay here. How stubborn are you!” commented Chung-Ho.

“Less than you apparently,” taunted Nivritti. She glanced at Jae-Hwa’s face which looked slightly sad and worried. She knew she was going to leave Jae-Hwa alone with Dae and it was worrying her. She didn’t want to leave her alone with him. She wanted to help her but saying anything would make Chung-Ho suspect somethings.

She wanted to request Chung-Ho to make sure that Rencontre team would work inside the department today. That way Dae will not trouble Jae-Hwa. She also was feeling bad for Jeong-Eun. Now, she won’t be able to help them talk.

“Choi-ssi! Can we not go to the practice room for today. She won’t be there, and I don’t feel like going there without her,” Jae-Hwa blurted out. Nivritti looked at her and smiled.

“Why? Is there an issue?” asked Chung-HO, concerned.

“No, I just don’t want to go without her,” said Jae-Hwa.

“Fine! I will inform ASD. Now, you, go home,” shouted Chung-Ho at Nivritti.

“Going, going,” Nivritti packed her bags and was ready to walk out when Dae walked in.

“Good morning, everyone,” he greeted.

“Good morning, Dae,” Nivritti greeted back but Jae-Hwa just nodded at him.

“Seong-ssi. Ritti is taking leave today so you guys don’t have to go to the practice room, I will talk to ASD. Also, why haven’t you shared the template with them?” Chung-Ho reprimanded Dae.

“Oh, I completely forgot, I was supposed to send them a mail,” apologised Dae. He looked at Nivritti and bit his lips to control his anger, “what am I going to do with her? I try to be civil, but she always irks me. Why did she have to backbite? Why she always tries to gain point from Choi-ssi? Just a few more days, you witch, and you will be gone. I will destroy your name and reputation.” Please visit f𝐫ℯe𝘸𝙚𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝒆l. 𝐜𝚘𝓶

“No, no, no worries, I told CH that you may have forgotten to send us the mail,” smiled Nivritti.

“I will send it right now. But why are you taking leave, everything alright?” asked Dae.

“Just my leg is creating problem. Don’t worry,” she smiled at him.

“Why would I be worried about you? I am so happy that I won’t have to look at your stupid face,” thought Dae.

“Do you want me to call Oppa?” asked Jae-Hwa.

“No, anyway, I will be going to the hospital in the evening. I will get this checked up there,” assured Nivritti.

“Oh right! Your session,” smiled Jae-Hwa.

“Session?” asked Chung-Ho.

“Therapy CH, therapy,” replied Nivritti.

“Therapy? Why?” asked Chung-Ho.

“For cynophobia,” replied Nivritti.

“Ohh!”

“See you guys tomorrow,” said Nivritti and walked away. She again ordered a cab and went home. The moment she reached house, she changed into her comfortable clothes, changed the bandages and went back to sleep. The medicine took her in a deep sleep without any dreams or nightmares.

Jae-Hwa sadly sat on her seat and started working. Dae opened his laptop and sent the mail to Nivritti and Jae-Hwa. Jae-Hwa didn’t even acknowledge that she received the mail nor thanked him for it.

Chung-Ho reached his seat and sent a message to Kyung-Soo. “Rencontre team will work from the office today. Please don’t sent anyone to pick them up.”

Kyung-Soo read the message and immediately replied, “why?”

“No particular reason. They just have to prepare for the update session. You can go over the scripts tomorrow. Let them prepare for the update from the office. I too need to look into scripts,” Chung-Ho replied.

“Okay!” messaged Kyung-Soo and placed the phone down.

All the boys looked at the sudden change in facial expression. Everyone was having their breakfast and suddenly all stopped eating.

“What happened?” asked Young-Chul.

“What?” Kyung-Soo looked up and asked. He was busy thinking about the fact that he won’t get to see Nivritti today, so he didn’t hear what Young-Chul asked him.

“Who messaged you? What happened?” Young-Chul asked again.

“Oh, Choi-ssi! We don’t have to pick Rencontre team today,” replied Kyung-Soo.

“What?” shouted Jeong-Eun. He was looking forward to the day as he would get some alone time with Jae-Hwa as Nivritti promised.

“Yeah, they have to prepare for the update session with Hu-ssi. So, they needed today’s time. We will see them tomorrow,” said Kyung-Soo.

“But Hyung, they can prepare in the practice room too,” protested Jeong-Eun.

“Choi-ssi too have to prepare for the same and as his team is always with us, he too needs some time with them. We have to understand that after all, he is the HOD,” explained Kyung-Soo.

“Right! He too needs to learn everything about the scripts,” nodded Korain.

“Well! Will we have to attend the update session?” asked Him-Chan.

“I have not received any news regarding that. I think Choi-ssi or Hu-ssi will inform us before hand if we have to do it,” replied Kyung-Soo.

“And we have MY hyung to attend all that,” teased Thae.

“Why me? Why always me?” Young-Chul threw his hands in the air in frustration.

“Well, the day would be boring without the Rencontre team. I like reading scripts. Our fans are talented,” Jung-Hwa pointed out his disappointment.

“Yeah, they are. Our fans, our friends are the best,” said Him-Chan.

“The day would be boring without NK hyung and Ritti fighting with each other,” teased Thae. Everyone ended up laughing except Kyung-Soo. He squinted his eyes and stared at Thae. “What? You are looking at me as if you never fight with her.”

“Shut up and eat your breakfast,” scolded Kyung-Soo.

“I will meet up with her at the hospital. Maybe I could watch NK hyung and Ritti fighting there,” taunted Young-Chul. Everyone burst out laughing at his taunt.

“Youngie!” shouted Kyung-Soo and dropped his spoon in his bowl.

“What? I was just saying,” said Young-Chul, innocently.

.....

“I am not driving you there. Find another driver,” rebuked Kyung-Soo.

“Now you are really calling yourself a driver?” teased Korain.

“Hyung! You too!” complained Kyung-Soo.

“Okay, okay, no one tease him. Finish your breakfast,” Korain ordered. He then looked at both Young-Chul and Kyung-Soo and said, “and you two, you don’t have to worry. If you want, I can drive MY to the hospital. You need rest too. You drove PJ last night because he wanted a cola. Poor you! You had to drive to a store just to get some cola and then he came back empty handed, idiot!”
