Chapter 235 The Disturbance in Sleep
After a chaotic night, everyone was sleeping peacefully in Nivritti's apartment. Korain and Young-Chul were in her bedroom and the rest of the party was in the living room.
In the middle of the night, Young-Chul woke up due to thirst. He talked so much and straight up went to sleep. All the emotional turmoil made him extra tired, and he wanted to sleep in his safe space.
Rubbing his eyes, he came to the living room and saw his brothers sleeping on the floor next to each other. He carefully navigated between the spaces and reached the fridge. He took out a water bottle, drank two glasses of water and stored the rest of back in the fridge.
With the light of the fridge, Kyung-Soo woke up and looked at the source of the light. He saw Young-Chul standing near the fridge. Kyung-Soo raised his head to look at him and asked in a whispering tone, "are you alright?"
"Yes, just thirsty, go back to sleep," Young-Chul whispered back.
"Not that, Youngie!" replied Kyung-Soo.
"Hyung! Go back to sleep. We will talk tomorrow," yawned Young-Chul.
"Okay," said Kyung-Soo.
Young-Chul walked back inside the bedroom and Kyung-Soo kept staring at him. He sighed after Young-Chul went inside the room. Now he too was thirsty. He got up and went to finish the bottle of water that Young-Chul had just drunk from.
He didn't want to crush the bottle as everyone was sleeping soundly. He moved towards his bed when he glanced at Nivritti. She was deep in sleep with her foot raised on cushions. Half her blanket was on the ground and the other half was hardly covering her. One of her hands was on her chest and the other was dangling in the air.
If Jae-Hwa would have slept close to her, he was sure that Nivritti would have slapped her in her sleep. Luckily, Jae-Hwa's bed was slightly away from her. He came close to the couch, softly placed her dangling hand on her stomach and lifted her blanket to cover her completely.
He covered her to her neck and looked at her face. Even though it was dark, he knew what she looked like. He could trace every contour of her face even in darkness. How he was wishing for a lock of her hair to play on her face which would have given him an excuse to touch her.
After he was sure that she was comfortable, he moved near his bed and covered himself with his blanket. The moment he closed his eyes, a tap on his shoulder made him open his eyes. He looked to his side, he knew it was Jung-Hwa. It was dark so he could not see him, but he could hear his smugness and smirk.
"What?" Kyung-Soo murmured.
"What were you doing?" sniggered Jung-Hwa.
"What? What do you mean what I was doing?" asked Kyung-Soo.
"You were going to kiss her, weren't you?" teased Jung-Hwa.
"Shut up! Don't talk nonsense," scolded Kyung-Soo. "I just saw her blanket away from her and was covering her. Did you see me touch her, you moron?"
"But I saw you standing close to her. Your back was facing me so I couldn't tell what your expression was. Tell me do you want to kiss her again?" snorted Jung-Hwa.
"Why are you not sleeping and talking about nonsense?" asked Kyung-Soo.
"You are not the only one MY Hyung woke up," replied Jung-Hwa.
"Then go back to sleep and stop pestering me," Kyung-Soo hit him somewhere he was not sure where.
"But I love pestering you. Did your love story move forward? Did you even talk to her about how you feel about her?" asked Jung-Hwa.
"JJ! Go to sleep, if anyone else hears you talking about me and her, I will kill you," said Kyung-Soo.
"But that is such an interesting topic. Why won't you answer? Oh! You are scared of her," teased Jung-Hwa.
"Why would I be scared of her?" asked Kyung-Soo.
"I don't know. You tell me. Why haven't you talked about your feelings?" asked Jung-Hwa.
"Hey! Snakes! Stop with you psst psst. Stop whispering and let me sleep," shouted Nivritti, shifted to her side and went right back to sleep.
Young-Chul and Korain were sleeping peacefully inside the cosy room.
Even though everyone slept late, due to their overactive body clock, every member of "Shit! Did she hear you?" asked Kyung-Soo.
"I don't know," replied Jung-Hwa.
"Before she shouts again, it will be better if we keep quiet," said Kyung-Soo and both the boys looked away from each other and went to sleep. It was years since they all slept together next to each other. By the time morning came, all the boys were tangled with each other.
One had his hand over the other while some had their leg on someone's waist. One was curled in a ball and his head was poking into someone else's stomach. Only Young-Chul and Korain were sleeping peacefully inside the cosy room.
Even though everyone slept late, due to their overactive body clock, every member of ASD woke up early. The hustling and bustling and whispering and murmuring woke Nivritti up.
"Oh my god! Can you all please shut up? I need my beauty sleep," shouted Nivritti and covered her head with a cushion. Hearing her shout, Jae-Hwa woke up and looked around. For a second, she was shocked that every member of ASD was looking at her. She forgot that they arrived at night and were sleeping in the house.
Thinking of it as a dream, she let her head fall on the pillow and she went back to sleep.
"Oh, girls!" commented Jung-Hwa and a flying cushion hit him on his arm. He looked in the direction from where the cushion came flying at him and saw Nivritti staring at him with squinted eyes.
"Sorry!" he mouthed the words and all the boys stopped talking. They folded all the bedding, and blankets and placed them neatly in a corner in her bedroom.
Nivritti thought that she could sleep again but how wrong she was. After the boys were done with the bedding, they started fighting about who would go to the bathroom first. Even though they kept talking in a hushed tone, the whole house was loud and chaotic.
Nivritti yawned and sat up with a jerk on the couch. Her eyes were filled with tears due to constant yawning and it was opened only halfway. "Oh, my God! You guys are so annoying!!" shouted Nivritti.
"What? What?" Jae-Hwa too woke up with a jerk.
Nivritti looked at the boys with anger and then turned to console Jae-Hwa. "It's okay, everything is fine. Go back to sleep."
"Why are you shouting?" asked Jae-Hwa and looked in the direction of the boys. A loud shriek escaped her mouth.
"Woah! Woah! What? Why are you shouting?" Nivritti tried to calm her down.
"Oh sorry! Sorry, I forgot that I was sleeping in your house, and they were sleeping here too. I thought they came to my house. Sorry, everyone," Jae-Hwa smiled sheepishly.
"Sorry for the trouble!" said Jung-Hwa.
"Sorry doesn't even cut it. We slept late. Who told you guys to wake up so early?" Nivritti scolded all of them. She then looked at the clock on her wall and saw that it was only 6.30 in the morning. "What the fresh hell? It's only 6.30 and you guys are up?? Why? For the love of God, why?"
"We wake up almost every day at this time," replied Kyung-Soo innocently.
"No, no, no, no, nooo… you guys are not allowed to sleep in my apartment anymore. That's final! I cannot have morning people in my home, that's a strict no-no. On Saturdays and Sundays, no one is allowed to wake up before 8, BEFORE 8. Is that clear?" rebuked Nivritti.
"Sorry! Do you want us to go back to sleep?" asked Thae.
Nivritti facepalmed grabbed one of the cushions kept on her side and screamed into it.
"We broke her," whispered Him-Chan. Everyone glanced at him, angrily.
Nivritti lay on the couch wide awake sighing and groaning with every sound ASD were making. Jae-Hwa was on her bed yawning and staring at ASD coming and going to Nivritti's bedroom. One by one everyone was going inside the bathroom and getting ready for their morning.
The constant opening and closing of the door were making Nivritti crankier but she said nothing.
"There is really no scenario where we can go back to sleep, is there?" asked Jae-Hwa.
"I don't think so. I can't kick them out, my foot is injured," groaned Nivritti.
"I think I should start making breakfast," said Jae-Hwa.
"Relax! I think they will jump into the kitchen in a few minutes. After making so much noise, I don't think they will be at ease if they didn't bang the utensils in the kitchen," mocked Nivritti.
"Well, you are not wrong," said Jae-Hwa and lay down on her pillow. "Now, I fully support your no boys in the house policy."
"Thank you."
"You are right, they are annoying," said Jae-Hwa.
"Tell me about it."
"Well, now I have a glimpse of how they lived in their struggling era. A small house, one bathroom and they all had to share," said Jae-Hwa.
"Yeah, and you are so lucky to experience everything with them," replied Nivritti, sarcastically.
"Sorry about all this. We will be gone after Manager Park arrives. He said he be here early," Kyung-Soo walked up to the girls and spoke. Both the girls just turned to look at him and stared at him, angrily.
