To Kiss An Idol-Chapter 80

80 The Changing Room

She looked at the clothes in the basket and smiled. “Yeah, I thought of getting ASD something for standing up for me,” said Nivritti.

“They did what?” asked Jae-Geun, impressed.

“Oh, I was called to the CEO’s cabin after everything happened with Jae. Oh shit! I have to get something for CH too,” said Nivritti.

“I will find something for him. Meanwhile, tell me what they did for you,” asked Jae-Geun.

“Right! So, I went to the CEO’s cabin with CH. I know that there was a long meeting, but I don’t know who said what. All I know is I thought I was getting fired but instead I got a bonus. And the way our CEO talked to me, I just know that they stood up for me and took my side. They were grateful that I helped JJ and were concerned for Jae,” explained Nivritti.

“They truly are your friends and good people,” noted Jae-Geun, surprised.

“I know. They are very sweet. I wanted to return the favour,” smiled Nivritti.

“But they are rich, do they really need all this?” asked Jae-Geun.

“How are you a doctor?” mocked Nivritti.

.....

“I beg your pardon!” exclaimed Jae-Geun.

“I meant that to become a doctor you need a brain, but you talk like an idiot sometimes,” teased Nivritti.

“Hey!” protested Jae-Geun.

Nivritti smirked and spoke, “you said they are rich, you mean to say that rich people don’t deserve a gift just because they can buy everything on their own.”

“I didn’t say that,” pouted Jae-Geun. “And you don’t have to be a smartass all the time.”

“Can’t help it,” teased Nivritti.

“Can’t help it,” repeated Jae-Geun in a childish voice. “Let’s find my idiot sister.”

They both moved inside the aisles of the women’s section and started looking for Jae-Hwa. Even with her red hair, it was difficult to find her. Nivritti was walking in front of Jae-Geun with her hair dangling to her hip. Her knee-length dress was showing her toned calves. He wanted to stop looking at her, but he was unable to do that.

Suddenly Jae-Hwa appeared out of nowhere and screamed from behind. “Ritti!” both Jae-Geun and Nivritti turned around and saw Jae-Hwa practically sprinting towards them with her hands full of colourful clothes.

“Here,” said Jae-Hwa and handed all the dresses to Nivritti. Nivritti dipped a little with the pressure.

“What is all this?” asked Nivritti, looking at the clothes in her hands, shocked.

“I selected these for you,” replied Jae-Hwa, happily.

Nivritti lowered her gaze, tilted her head, and exhaled loudly. “Jae! I asked you to select something for you, not for me,” she protested.

“Just try them,” scolded Jae-Hwa. “I have seen a few more dresses that I liked. I will get that too, you go and try them.”

“Jae!”

“Go!” Jae-Hwa widened her eyes and commanded her.

“Fine, where is the changing room?” asked Nivritti, defeated.

“There,” Jae-Hwa pointed at a corner. “And don’t be alarmed if you see men in that area.”

“Huh?” Nivritti was confused. 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m

“This is a unisex store and that is the only changing area. It has around 10 rooms, but it could be occupied by either men or women,” explained Jae-Geun.

“Ohh, okay,” said Nivritti and moved towards the changing room while holding the bundle of clothes. ƒ𝘳ee𝔀e𝚋n૦𝐯el.c𝗼𝓂

“See you Oppa,” said Jae-Hwa and vanished.

Jae-Geun looked in every direction and then looked at the basket in his hand. “These girls really brought me to drive and carry their things. Great!” He found a corner where chairs were placed for the people to rest. He looked at other men, waiting for their better halves to finish their shopping, nodded at them, and awkwardly sat next to them. “I have plenty of time. I will find something for Choi-ssi soon. Till then I can rest,” he thought and slid into his chair and folded his arms over his chest.

Nivritti reached the changing area where a lot of doors were lined side by side. She looked around for an attendant for help but there was no one. She looked around for a minute and then tried the very first door.

A man shouted from inside, “wait a minute, darling,” in Korean. She immediately backed up. One by one she tried the door, but everyone was locked. Finally, almost at the end of the corridor, she found an open door.

She juggled the clothes in her hands and looked inside. There was no one there but a few clothes were lying on the bench and a coat was hanging on the wall. She wanted to move in but was sceptical about the clothes inside.

“Did someone forget their clothes or left them here deliberately?” she pondered. She stood outside thinking about what to do. She bit her lower lip and then shouted in Korean, “Excuse me! Whose clothes are these?” She again waited for a minute but there was no answer.

She shrugged her shoulders and went in. She dumped all the clothes on the bench and closed the door. A black hoodie and a blue casual shirt were hanging by the hook on the door. It was clear that a man was trying clothes and he left all the clothes he didn’t like inside the changing room. How rude! Why didn’t he return them to their respective shelves?

She took a deep breath and looked at the bundle of clothes. She first had to sort them out. She started separating the clothes and laying them on the bench next to each other. She separated the men’s clothing and hung them behind the door. She picked up a yellow dress and checked it out. It was cute and had a plunging neckline.

She unzipped her dress and took it off. She knew if she would wear the yellow dress her nude bra would be visible under the dress. She still slipped that dress on and lifted her hair out of the dress. She turned to her sides to see the fitting of the dress. She was looking hot.

“Nice!” said Nivritti and smiled. “Hmm... but the neckline, it’s too revealing. But I look hot,” she winked at herself.

Suddenly there was an urgent knock at the door. “Please open the door. Sorry for troubling you but I left my clothes inside,” said a man in Korean. There was something about the voice that Nivritti could not put a finger on.

Her hands immediately landed on her visible skin. But that was not enough, she looked around for something to use to cover herself. The only thing she could use was the coat. But the man was standing outside for his coat, she had to use something else.

While she searched for a piece of clothing, the man knocked again, “please open up. I will be out of your hair in a minute. Sorry for your troubles.” And he started knocking like a maniac. It seemed as if he had to run to the airport to catch a flight, either he was plenty nervous or was in an extreme hurry.

“Okay, okay, just a second,” shouted Nivritti and picked the white dress that she came wearing. She threw her dress over her shoulder covering her front and ran to the door. The man kept knocking at the door nonstop.

“Wait, jeez,” exclaimed Nivritti and opened the door. A tall, masked man dressed in an oversized black shirt and blue jeans appeared before her. Her jaw dropped to the floor when she saw him. Even the eyes of the man widened with shock.

“Ritti!” shouted the man with shock.

“NK?” screamed Nivritti and froze at her spot.

They both just kept staring at each other in shock. No one expected to meet with the other like that. They had no idea what to say. They even forgot to move.

Their slumber broke when Jae-Hwa started shouting Nivritti’s name. “Ritti! Where are you? Ritti! Ritti!”

Nivritti unfroze the very next moment and before Jae-Hwa could spot them, she grabbed a handful of Kyung-Soo’s shirt’s fabric and pulled him inside the changing room with a jerk. Before he could understand what happened, he was already inside with Nivritti standing in front of him.

She immediately closed the door and locked the latch. Her white dress that was covering her naked skin fell to the floor and she threw Kyung-Soo against the wall. Her one hand landed on his chest and with her other hand, she covered his mouth.

“Shh, shh, shh, shhh...” the shushs filled the air.

“Ritti!” Jae-Hwa shouted again.

“Here!” shouted Nivritti. “The second last room.”

“Open the door,” demanded Jae-Hwa.

Both Nivritti and Kyung-Soo gulped. Kyung-Soo shook his head in no. “Um... I can’t,” shouted Nivritti.

“What? Why not?” asked Jae-Hwa. “I brought more clothes for you to try.”

“Uh... because... um... I am not... wearing anything. I am in the middle of changing dresses,” Nivritti lowered her head with shame.

“Okay, fine, here,” shouted Jae-Hwa and threw a bundle of clothes inside that landed on Kyung-Soo’s head covering his face completely.

With an annoyed face and one raised eyebrow, he removed all the clothes from his head and looked at Nivritti. She immediately covered her mouth with her palm and stifled her laughter. Kyung-Soo kept looking at her annoyed. Due to the removal of clothes his hair was now hanging over his forehead making him cuter to look at.

Nivritti somehow controlled her laughter and shouted, “thank you, Jae.”
