145 The Cute Lioness

Nivritti looked at both the men with anger and started walking away. “Woah! Woah!” Kyung-Soo grabbed her arm and pulled her back towards the car. “Where do you think you are going?” asked Kyung-Soo.

“Home! I just said that,” shouted Nivritti and jerked his hand away.

“How? Will you fly?” taunted Kyung-Soo.

“We don’t live in the stone Age. I can book a cab,” replied Nivritti.

“Get in my car. I will drop you,” commanded Kyung-Soo and pointed at his land rover. Nivritti realised that she was sitting in his car when she woke up.

Now the million-dollar question popped up in her mind. She was asleep in Young-Chul’s room. So, how did she end up in Kyung-Soo’s car?

“How was I in the car, NK?” she asked angrily.

Kyung-Soo gulped with fear. Jae-Geun smiled and answered, “I saw him carrying you in his arms.”

“What?” shouted Nivritti.

.....

“Thank you for that,” mumbled Kyung-Soo and stared at Jae-Geun. He looked at Nivritti and explained, “I tried to wake you up, but you called me mom and went back to sleep. You-know-who needed rest so I had to take you out of the room. Even after I carried you all the way to the parking lot, you never woke up once.”

“I… called… you… mom?” stammered Nivritti.

“Yes, you did,” sulked Kyung-Soo. Jae-Geun sniggered loudly but one angry look at him and he stifled his laughter.

“Really?” she asked again. Kyung-Soo just nodded. “Sorry for that. Bye.” She again started walking away from them.

“I said I will drop you,” shouted Kyung-Soo. Nivritti squinted her eyes and looked at Kyung-Soo. He immediately lowered his voice and said softly, “please sit in the car.”

“If you don’t want to go with him. I can drop you,” interrupted Jae-Geun.

“She was already in my car, she will go with me,” shouted Kyung-Soo.

“She doesn’t want to go with you. I will drop her,” screamed Jae-Geun.

“Did you hear what I said? She will go with me,” yelled Kyung-Soo.

“You angered her, it’s better she goes with me,” shrieked Jae-Geun.

“Oh yeah! You want to go again,” warned Kyung-Soo.

“Bring it on,” shouted Jae-Geun.

They both took the fighting stance again when the ding of the lift made them look in that direction. Their jaws dropped when they realised that Nivritti was in that lift and the lift doors were closing while she kept angrily staring at them.

The lift door closed and both Jae-Geun and Kyung-Soo stood straight.

“When do you think we lost her?” asked Jae-Geun, still looking at the elevator area.

“I think we lost her from the beginning,” replied Kyung-Soo.

“Right!” said Jae-Geun.

They both stood there for a few more seconds staring at the lift door.

“Well! I should leave. Nice meeting you. Sorry for kicking your ass,” Jae-Geun extended his arm towards Kyung-Soo.

“Likewise! Sorry for kicking your ass too,” replied Kyung-Soo and shook his hand.

“Hope your friend gets well soon,” wished Jae-Geun.

“Thank you!”

“You think she will be angry at us when she would meet us next time?” inquired Jae-Geun.

“Can’t say. If she squints her eyes, she is angry, if not, you are in the clear zone,” replied Kyung-Soo.

“Good to know. One thing is for sure. She is crazy,” said Jae-Geun.

“I know. I say the same thing. Why… why do you say that?” asked Kyung-Soo.

“Well, when it comes to her, she curls herself into a ball and keeps crying but if it is about someone else, something happens to her. It appears as if some ghost possesses her every time. One minute she is innocent as a lamb and the next she gets scary as a wounded lioness,” explained Jae-Geun.

“Right, right! Thank God! I am not the only one,” laughed Kyung-Soo. “Wait! When did you see her curled up in a ball?”

“Oh, when she came in for her meeting, by mistake she took the emergency entrance instead of the main entrance. There was an accident and she saw a severed hand and a lot of blood,” replied Jae-Geun.

“What?” said Kyung-Soo concerned and disgusted at the same time.

“Yeah, she kept shivering and crying, and I had to hold her for a long time to calm her down,” said Jae-Geun absentmindedly. He was back in the room where he held her close to himself.

“You… held her?” asked Kyung-Soo and chuckled awkwardly.

“Yeah, why?” asked Jae-Geun, confused.

Kyung-Soo threw himself on Jae-Geun and hugged him tightly. “Thank you for taking care of her.”

“She was not kidding. You guys are good friends,” noted Jae-Geun and patted Kyung-Soo’s back.

Kyung-Soo didn’t want to imagine Nivritti in anyone’s arms. He had no idea why he was happy that Jae-Geun took care of her instead of getting angry at the fact that he held her.

They both broke the embrace and looked at each other gawkily.

“Okay, bye,” shouted Jae-Geun and ran to his car.

“Bye,” shouted Kyung-Soo so that Jae-Geun could hear him.

Kyung-Soo opened his car door and jumped in his seat. He exhaled and started the engine. But the display of the car flashed the door ajar warning light. He sighed as the warning light was for the passenger door.

He turned off the engine and walked out of the car to the passenger door. He shook his head in disbelief when he saw Nivritti’s overcoat on the ground. When she would have left the car half asleep, she would not have noticed the coat, thought Kyung-Soo.

He picked up the overcoat and locked the door completely. He came back to his seat and placed the overcoat neatly on the passenger seat.

“Ah… this girl! It is getting colder day by day and she forgot her coat.” He looked back at the backseat and saw that the food he got for her was still lying there. “Should I go to her house? Naa… she ran away to get away from me. On top of that, she is angry. Jae-Geun is right, in anger she looks like a lioness, a cute lioness,” laughed Kyung-Soo.

Finally, he started the engine and pondering upon whether he should return her coat tonight or some other day, he got out of the basement parking lot. The moment he was on the road, his phone started ringing.

He saw the display of his car, it was Jung-Hwa.

“Yes, JJ,” Kyung-Soo picked up the call.

“Do you know how long I have been trying to call you? Where were you? You were out of coverage and Ritti left her phone and her purse here. Where are you guys?” shouted Jung-Hwa.

Kyung-Soo immediately swerved the car to the roadside and hit the brakes.

“What?” shouted Kyung-Soo.

“Yeah, we picked everything of us and forgot everything of hers,” said Jung-Hwa.

“Meet me at the main entrance in five minutes,” ordered Kyung-Soo and pressed the gas pedal. He drove as fast as he could. He had to cover a lot of distance and then take a U-turn to get to the hospital.

His car screeched loudly when he applied the brake in urgency. Jung-Hwa was standing at the entrance with her phone and her purse.

“Where is she?” shouted Jung-Hwa.

“She got angry and ran away,” replied Kyung-Soo.

“What? Where is she?” screamed Jung-Hwa with worry.

“She said she would get a cab and go home,” explained Kyung-Soo.

“How? How will she call a cab when we have her phone,” yelled Jung-Hwa.

“JJ! One can get a cab without a phone. Moreover, this is not a time to waste. Go search for her in the hospital. I will try her home. Go, go, run,” ordered Kyung-Soo. Jung-Hwa dumped her purse and her phone in the passenger seat and ran back into the hospital.

“Please let her be safe, please let her be safe,” he kept muttering and turned the car back around to go to her house.

His heart was racing as fast as his car. He kept cursing himself for not paying enough attention to her. If he would have kept his eyes on her, she would not have run away. He kept thinking about why he didn’t grab her again and stooped her from going. If only he would not have fought with Jae-Geun, she would be safe in his car.

“Oh! I am an idiot,” shouted Kyung-Soo and slapped his steering wheel in anger. “Did she get a cab? Where is she?” he kept exhaling loudly to calm himself down as he had to concentrate on driving.

Navigating through traffic and constantly glancing at her things on the passenger side, he kept driving as fast as he could.

“Oh! Even if she got a cab, how will she pay for it? Her phone, her wallet, everything is here. At least she can go home, she only needs her code. Luckily, she doesn’t need a house key. What if she never got a cab? Where is she? Stupid, Jungie has not called yet,” with every thought his breathing kept getting heavy. He was on the verge of hyperventilating.

He was close to her house when he saw a white cab parked near her building and a man and woman in a heated conversation. The woman kept rubbing her palms and blowing her warm breath over them. 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

He immediately pressed the brakes of his car and jumped out. He ran, he ran as fast as he could, as fast as his feet could take him. The moment he reached near the woman, without speaking a single word, he spread his overcoat and enclosed the woman completely in his arms.
