Everyone was sharing their ideas, but Nivritti was standing still, silent. The only time she reacted was to cheer Jae-Hwa. Chung-Ho being as observant as ever noticed that. He knew she was still reeling with feelings about what happened yesterday. All she needed was a little compassion and encouragement.
"Do you have any ideas to share with us, Nivritti?" asked Chung-Ho, calmly.
She was avoiding eye contact with everyone. She just glanced at him and without looking into his eyes, silently answered "yes".
"Go on then," Chung-Ho gave her a nudge.
She looked around, all eyes were on her. She exhaled loudly and calmed herself. She would occasionally look at Chung-Ho and started describing her idea. Everyone was looking at her which made her nervous, but Chung-Ho nodded at her, and Jae-Hwa held her hand which gave her confidence.
