Chapter 236 The Chaotic Morning
Nivritti and Jae-Hwa were still on their beds trying to tune all the boys out. Whereas the boys were waiting for Manager Park to arrive with their clothes. They all had so much to do today. First, they had to persuade their company to announce about Young-Chul's condition, then they had to get ready for Live and then talk to fans in that Live session.
Young-Chul came out of the bedroom only once when he had to use the bathroom. He was not talking to anyone. Nivritti asked Jae-Hwa to help her to reach the bathroom. After Nivritti saw the condition of the bathroom, she hit her head hard with her palm.
The handwash had dripped around the bottle. The toothpaste was stuck on the edge of the washbasin as the boys used their fingers to clean their teeth. There was water around the commode and the washbasin. Even though no one had taken a bath, her shower area was wet. She groaned with fear and agony that she couldn't even clean her bathroom in her condition. She would have to use a dirty bathroom for days. The icky feeling made her shudder.
"What?" asked Jae-Hwa.
"Either I am going to die after using this dirty bathroom or I am going to kill them all," Nivritti gritted her teeth.
"Don't worry, I will clean it after they leave," said Jae-Hwa.
"No, you will not do anything. I will call a cleaning service," said Nivritti and went inside the bathroom making disgusted faces. When she came out Jae-Hwa was waiting for her outside. She helped her walk to the couch and now it was Jae-Hwa's turn to enter the bathroom.
The doorbell announced the arrival of Manager Park and as Jae-Hwa was occupied, Kyung-Soo opened the door.
"Everyone! Get in the bedroom," Manager Park said to all the boys wandering in the living room.
"What?" asked Thae.
"Just go inside," scolded Manager Park. All listened to him and went inside. "Come in," Manager Park said to someone standing outside the door.
Two men came in with a big wooden almirah and placed it near the door. Nivritti's mouth fell open with shock. She wanted to ask what he was doing but no words came out of her mouth. After the men had placed the almirah carefully, they walked out and again came back in, but this time one had a big box in his hands and the other had a few plastic chairs stacked over one another.
"Huh!!!" Nivritti tilted her head in disbelief and only one word came out of her mouth.
Lucky for her, Jae-Hwa came out of the bathroom and asked in surprise after she saw Manager Park entering the house with a big plastic bag filled with some white stuff, "What is all this?"
He raised his finger at her signalling her to give him one minute. He again ran outside. Nivritti and Jae-Hwa heard some murmur and then Manager Park came in, breathing heavily with a lot of small plastic bags in his hands.
"Get him water, please," requested Nivritti.
"Yeah, yeah," said Jae-Hwa and ran into the kitchen. She brought a glass of water for him, and he gulped the whole glass in one breath.
"Now can we come out, I am hungry," shouted Thae.
"Yes," replied Manager Park.
All the boys came running and a few of them picked up the plastic bags near Manager Park and ran in the kitchen. Kyung-Soo and Korain stood before the almirah and kept staring at it from every angle. Thae brought a knife from the kitchen and started opening the big box.
Jae-Hwa walked near Nivritti who was sitting on the couch staring at the chaos in her house. "What is happening?" asked Jae-Hwa.
"I really have no idea," replied Nivritti. "My house is like a fish market. Not even Apeksha made so much noise."
"Is she noisy?" asked Jae-Hwa.
"No, she is a delinquent. She alone could destroy a whole house, she would need no one's help. But these seven men are giving her strong competition," Nivritti blinked her eyes at them. "Okay, I need some answers!" she shook her head and got rid of the shock.
She clapped her hands loudly and shouted, "will someone explain what all this is?"
All the members of the ASD stopped what they were doing. They looked at Nivritti and one by one replied to her.
"This is breakfast," replied Him-Chan from the kitchen.
"These are extra chairs so that we can sit whenever we come here. We had to squeeze ourselves on your couch," replied Jeong-Eun.
"This box has four bean bags," replied Thae.
"Don't open it now, we can come back later and fill it later on," said Korain. Thae's face fell after Korain stopped him. He simply shut the box and slid it to the side.
"Come back?" asked Nivritti but no one heard her or simply chose to ignore her.
"This almirah is to store all the bedding we used last night. It's placed on the floor which might create some difficulty for you, so we asked Manager Park to bring it," informed Kyung-Soo.
"Woah! These two bags have the beans for the bags," Thae picked the bags excitedly.
"Wait, just a minute! You mean to say that all those mattresses and blankets and pillows are going to be stored here. You guys are not taking it back?" asked Nivritti.
"Why would we take it back? Do you want us to bring them every time we come here to sleep?" Kyung-Soo made a confused face.
"Y… o… u… you… are coming back here to sleep?" yelled Nivritti.
"Yeah!" replied Kyung-Soo as if it was the only obvious answer.
"Where are our clothes?" asked Jung-Hwa to Manager Park.
"Oh, right! Sorry, I forgot it in the car. You get the placement done, I will be back in a jiffy. All those stairs, I am definitely going to lose a few kgs today," Manager Park exhaled loudly and walked out of the room.
Nivritti raised her head and looked at her ceiling and murmured, "Korea, Korea, why are you doing this to me?"
"Okay, guys, let's get to work, Korain hyung and I will shift this almirah in the bedroom. TK, go, and help JH with the food. Jae, get your bedding out of the way and bring it to the bedroom, we will store it. PJ, JJ, get the couches and MY take care of the table and the chairs," Kyung-Soo ordered everyone around.
Everyone started running around to complete their chores. Jeong-Eun and Jung-Hwa first came to Nivritti to move her couch, but she stopped them. She didn't want them pushing the couch while she was sitting like a princess on it. She stood up and leaned on the kitchen wall while everyone took care of the table, chairs, and couches.
After they were done, Jung-Hwa helped her get on the couch. After taking care of the bedding, Kyung-Soo, Korain and Jae-Hwa came out of the room. Him-Chan and Thae too were ready with the plates of food and Manager Park too came back with two duffel bags.
All sat around and were having breakfast when the doorbell rang. All looked at each other in horror. Everyone they knew was inside the house then who arrived in the morning that too on a Sunday. Nivritti had no other friends in Korea.
"Who is that?" Manager Park was the first person to ask that question. He had to hide ASD from the world. No one must see them that too on the day that were going on Live.
"Relax! I will check and send them away," said Jae-Hwa and stood up. She looked from the peephole and saw her brother standing outside the door.
"Oh, it's Oppa!" she announced. Everyone relaxed but not Manager Park.
"Who?" he asked.
"Relax! He is Jae's brother and we have met him," Kyung-Soo comforted him.
Jae-Hwa opened the door smiling. She saw her brother but immediately her smile faded.
"Oh no!" escaped from her mouth. Two people were standing behind Jae-Geun, a man and a woman. Jae-Hwa squinted her eyes at Jae-Geun and muttered some curse words at him. He tried to look innocent and stared at her helplessly.
"I am sorry, Ritti!" announced Jae-Hwa and opened the door completely.
Nivritti who was drinking water saw the people standing at the door and sputtered the water all over Young-Chul who was sitting next to her. She realised what had happened and started profusely apologising to him, "sorry, sorry!"
"Guys! Meet me, parents," Jae-Hwa introduced everyone while actively hiding her face with her hand.
"I am sorry, Ritti. She insisted that she had to see you," apologised Jae-Geun.
Nivritti who was actively trying to wipe Young-Chul's face with her hands looked up and looked at Jae-Geun. She again apologised to Young-Chul and then said to Jae-Geun, "it's okay." She then shifted her eyes to Mr. and Mrs. San who stood in their path frozen.
Their mouth was hanging open with shock. The people they had only seen on television or in magazines were sitting in front of them shoving their faces with food.
