112 The Reading of Scripts

Dae was rolling his eyes at every sentence. Now even Jae-Hwa was their friend. First, they were focused on Nivritti and now they were focused on Jae-Hwa. It seemed that he was invisible, unimportant, not worth spending time upon.

“Who is your bias, Jae-Hwa?” asked Jung-Hwa.

“Hmm...,” Nivritti slightly nudged his stomach with her elbow and showed her disapproval. That made Kyung-Soo very happy. For the first time, he smiled and sat leaning on the chair, relaxed. “That is rude to ask. Her bias is her personal choice. What if one of you starts treating her rudely after she won’t take your name?”

“Hey! We would never do that,” pouted Young-Chul. “And if she does not want to tell us we would never force her, right, JJ?”

“Right, Hyung,” replied Jung-Hwa.

Dae was hating every minute of this conversation. He wanted to leave and run away from there. He was sure that no one even notice him running away or even ask the reason for his going away.

“Oi, stupid detective, she gave you a big clue and still you asked that stupid question. Calling himself, detective, huhh...” scoffed Korain.

“What clue?” asked Jung-Hwa.

“Her favourite song, second chance by Jeong-Eun. It means he is her bias. Even I cracked this case,” Korain rolled his eyes hard at Jung-Hwa.

.....

“You call yourself, detective,” Nivritti smiled broadly. Kyung-Soo again sat upright after looking at her beautiful smile.

“Yes, why?” asked Jung-Hwa.

“My sister too calls herself, detective,” replied Nivritti, adoringly.

“You have a sister?” asked Jung-Hwa.

“Why? I can’t have a sister?” teased Nivritti.

“I know you are teasing,” pouted Jung-Hwa.

“He really is a detective,” mocked Nivritti. The room was filled with laughter. Everyone started pointing at Jung-Hwa and laughing at him.

“You guys are so rude!” poutingly shouted Jung-Hwa and stood up, trying to walk away. All just looked at him. No one even tried to stop him. Everyone kept stifling their laughter.

When he saw that no one was stopping him, he sat again with a thud and sulked, “I hate you all, huh.” That made everyone laugh out loud. Korain kept banging the table with his palm while laughing loudly. Thae extended his arm and playfully hit Jung-Hwa on his back.

Dae faked his smile and looked at everyone. “Okay, okay, let’s go back to work,” he said.

“He is right,” said Young-Chul. “Tell us what these folders are, Jae-Hwa?”

“Oh, I have sorted every script according to your names. So, that I don’t have to search for them again,” replied Jae-Hwa. 𝙛𝑟𝑒e𝘸𝑒𝗯𝘯𝗼𝘃el.𝒄𝒐m

“Nice!” exclaimed Him-Chan.

“And if we like one?” asked Young-Chul. 𝑓𝒓𝚎e𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝒆𝑙.c𝚘m

“You can star marked it like Ritti does,” replied Jae-Hwa.

“Okay, thank you. Go, sit down,” said Him-Chan, politely.

Everyone started reading scripts again and again Kyung-Soo kept staring at Jung-Hwa and Nivritti. Jung-Hwa would touch her palm or her shoulder and keep asking questions.

“What are you doing, NK? Are you even reading scripts?” scolded Korain.

“No,” shouted Kyung-Soo. “These scripts are so boring. TK is giving autographs or JH is dancing with the writer of the script. There is nothing attractive in them. The X-factor is missing. I want something... something... well, I can’t explain, but something different, amazing,” replied Kyung-Soo.

Dae bit his lips with anger. “My choice is boring? And these girls choose better than me? I am the senior for crying out loud,” he shouted in his mind. He kept gritting his teeth but hid his feelings as he knew the power of ASD. They could get him thrown off the Rencontre team. He was wishing for a bonus just like Nivritti received.

Finally, Thae and Jung-Hwa opened the script Nivritti chose for Korain.

“Wow! Hyung you should read this,” shouted Thae and looked at Korain.

“Why?”

“This is for you and it’s amazing. Nice going, Ritti,” complimented Thae. Dae again gritted his teeth with anger.

“Again, TK, I just read it and selected it. I have not written it,” explained Nivritti.

“And how many scripts you had to read for finding this out?” asked Kyung-Soo.

She looked at him and immediately lowered her eyes as it was difficult to look at him in the brown jacket. He was looking absolutely gorgeous. “Well, about 20 or 30 stupid scripts,” replied Nivritti.

“There you go,” said Korain. He got up from his seat and every member of ASD followed him. Kyung-Soo stood right behind her and lowered himself near her neck. Korain was on her other shoulder, but he kept his distance.

Him-Chan and Young-Chul stood behind Thae and Jung-Hwa respectively. Jeong-Eun came near all but had no place to stand or sit. He pulled Jung-Hwa leg and sat on it making everyone die with laughter.

But Nivritti was too shocked to laugh or even move. Kyung-Soo was slowly breathing over her neck. His warm breath every time was sending a shiver down her spine. She wanted to look at her laptop but would glance sideways at him.

Kyung-Soo was loving the sensation he was feeling being close to her. Her lavender smell was hitting his nose. But he wanted more. He wanted to touch her. He moved his arm over her shoulder brushing it slightly and reached down her palm that was sitting on the scroll pad of laptop. He softly removed her palm and placed it on the table, and he proceeded to scroll the script to read it completely.

Nivritti gasped as soon as Kyung-Soo touched her hand. She froze with shock. Her mouth was slightly open, and she forgot to breathe.

“Wait! I didn’t finish reading,” shouted Korain.

Korain’s voice brought Nivritti back. She started breathing again. She reached for the scroll pad. At the same moment, Kyung-Soo too reached for the scroll pad and again their hands touched. Kyung-Soo sighed with relief as if he reached his heaven. But nit Nivritti, his touch again fried her brain. She pulled her hand back immediately and Kyung-Soo scrolled the script up for everyone to read.

Jung-Hwa who kept staring at Kyung-Soo and Nivritti kept smirking at them. He knew what his hyung was doing and he was loving Nivritti’s reaction. She was too overwhelmed by his touch. His mischievous mind was racing fast.

He thought of teasing Kyung-Soo. “Why did you do that, Hyung? You could have asked Ritti to scroll up and down.”

“He, he, he,” Kyung-Soo laughed sarcastically. “I was too submerged in the script, I was not thinking straight, dear JJ,” Kyung-Soo stealthily gritted his teeth and smiled at Jung-Hwa, sarcastically. Jung-Hwa gulped at Kyung-Soo’s reaction. He knew he would get scolded after they reach home.

“Right, you are absolutely right, Hyung,” Jung-Hwa tried to do some damage control. But Kyung-Soo just smirked at him and squinted his eyes.

“Wow Hyung! Water god!” shouted Him-Chan.

“Yeah! Ritti, this is amazing,” screamed Korain. Nivritti turned around and looked at Korain. Her smile broadened. Korain sweetly patted her head. “Keep up the good work.”

“Thank you, SK.” She thanked him and glanced at Jae-Hwa who smiled at her and gave her two thumbs up.

“As if she wrote the script. These boys are idiots. My scripts are boring, and her script is amazing? I think she tricked me. She took the best server for herself and gave me a boring server, this stupid girl!” Dae kept murmuring.

“Which perfume do you use Ritti?” abruptly Him-Chan asked.

“E... excuse me!” shouted Nivritti.

Everyone immediately stopped reading the script and stood straight, even Jeong-Eun stood up from Jung-Hwa’s lap and all stared at Him-Chan.

“What?” asked Him-Chan, innocently.

“Why would you ask such a question?” shouted Young-Chul.

“What? It’s such a sweet smell. You all know I like sweet smells,” replied Him-Chan.

“Come on, Hyung. You can’t tell it’s lavender?” shouted Jung-Hwa.

“JJ!” shouted Nivritti, embarrassed and hid her face.

“You guys are embarrassing her,” scolded Korain.

“Sorry!” everyone apologised immediately.

Kyung-Soo grabbed her shoulder and said, “please forgive them, they have no concept of personal space.”

The moment Kyung-Soo placed his hands over her shoulder, she sat up straight and her hands fell down from her face involuntarily. She gulped hard as his thumb grazed her neck. Every single hair on her body stood up and she shivered internally.

“Yes, Ritti, please forgive my sweet idiots,” said Korain.

“What did I do?” complained Young-Chul making everyone laugh at him. That lightened the mood and Kyung-Soo lifted his hand from Nivritti’s shoulder.

“I want a script like that for me. Oh, the costume, I can only imagine,” wished Thae.

“Jae found a great script for you the very first day,” replied Nivritti.

“Really!” exclaimed Thae with happiness.

“Yeah, I saw that. It was nice,” said Kyung-Soo.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” asked Thae.

“It’s not finalised TK, nothing is finalised. Let me finalise a script and then they will tell you,” explained Kyung-Soo.

“Okay, guys let’s warm up. Dance crew would be arriving soon,” ordered Korain.

“Right!” said everyone and started moving away from the Rencontre working station. Jung-Hwa grabbed Nivritti’s hand and teased, “we will be back soon. Don’t miss us too much.”

“Oh, no! how will I work without you?” mocked Nivritti and held his hand tightly.

Kyung-Soo stared at both of them and angrily unzipped his jacket. Not for once, he removed his eyes from them. “I will kill him today,” he thought and gritted his teeth.
