Nivritti chatted with Kyung-Soo and was smiling at her phone. Now he was comfortable with her. He kept teasing her to hug him. She felt at ease.
For days now he avoided touching her but today he saved her. He didn't think twice and protected her. He kept his promise to not let her get hurt. She gasped when she recalled that he kissed her.
"Shit! What if people saw that?" she thought.
She didn't feel bad that he kissed her. She was not concerned about that. She liked it when he kissed her. She was concerned about other people. She didn't want anyone to start gossiping about her and Kyung-Soo just like they talked about Jung-Hwa and Jae-Hwa.
She slept a little worried about the next day. She knew people would talk about what happened and how Kyung-Soo hugged her first and then grabbed her hand. She just had to grow a thick skin. She knew if people would talk about her, she would say nothing to them or would run away from there.
