BXBX NOVEL Chapter 106
“NK?!” asked Korain, again.
“Hyung, I was trying this black shirt, liked it better and came wearing that,” lied Kyung-Soo and without waiting for another question, he ran to his room and shut his door. He leaned on the door with his back and grabbed his chest. His heart was racing like the wind.
“What just happened?” Korain scratched his head.
“Strange! I didn’t see any blue shirt in that bag,” noted Jung-Hwa. He kept stroking his chin with his forefinger.
“What?” asked Him-Chan.
“Well, he said that he wore the black one in the store so he must have kept the blue one in his bag. But there were only new clothes in the bag. Where is that blue shirt?” the inner detective of Jung-Hwa woke up.
“You must not have looked closely,” said Thae.
“No, no, I took every shirt out. Either he left his shirt in the store which is impossible, or he is hiding...” Jung-Hwa trailed far with his thoughts. It was clear to him that Kyung-Soo was hiding something. He never stopped him from trying a cloth, hell, he never stopped him from stealing his clothes. Half the wardrobe of Jung-Hwa was filled with Kyung-Soo’s clothes.
.....
So, something must have happened to Kyung-Soo when he was out. He lost one shirt and was possessive about another. What could have happened? What was the reason behind it?
Suddenly a bulb lit over his head. He knew why Kyung-Soo was acting strange, he met her. That was the only reason. Just two days back, he avoided a scandal and if anyone would have learned that he was with her, they would have started unnecessary rumours again.
“What, JJ?” asked Korain who kept staring at Jung-Hwa’s face and kept watching all the expressions that flashed on his face.
He realised that he had to save his hyung. “Oh no! I made a mistake. I saw the blue shirt. Yes, it was there in the bag,” shouted Jung-Hwa and ran to Kyung-Soo’s room.
“What is happening? Why everyone is running?” screamed Korain, annoyed.
“No idea,” said Him-Chan.
“Everyone is weird today,” commented Thae.
“Weird thing is even after so much shouting Young-Chul is sleeping in his room peacefully,” exhaled Korain.
Jung-Hwa knocked at Kyung-Soo’s door and whispered, “open the door, Hyung. I know.”
“Huh?” exclaimed Kyung-Soo.
“About who you met at the store,” murmured Jung-Hwa.
Kyung-Soo immediately opened the door, grabbed Jung-Hwa’s shirt, and pulled him inside with force. He squinted his eyes at him and demanded, “speak. What do think you know?”
“That you met Ritti and chose the jacket for you,” Jung-Hwa placed his hands over his waist and popped his hips in a sassy manner.
Kyung-Soo froze with shock. His eyes widened and his jaw dropped to the floor with a loud thud.
“Haa... I knew it,” Jung-Hwa snapped his fingers and screamed happily.
“Shh... shhh... shhhh...,” Kyung-Soo shushed him. “You guessed?”
“I would have been a great interrogator. I should apply to be a detective,” Jung-Hwa patted his own back with pride.
“Really!” taunted Kyung-Soo.
“Tell me, tell me everything,” shouted Jung-Hwa in whispers.
“There is nothing to tell, you guessed everything already,” said Kyung-Soo.
“No, the details, I want details. I want to know what happened with the blue shirt,” pleaded Jung-Hwa.
“She took it home,” said Kyung-Soo.
“What?”
“Uff, JJ!” exclaimed Kyung-Soo and dropped on the bed. He stared at the roof and exhaled, “she will kill me one day.”
“You are smitten, Hyung,” smiled Jung-Hwa.
“You have no idea, JJ, and the way she looked in that yellow dress, my heart stopped,” sighed Kyung-Soo.
“Yellow dress!”
“Yeah, she was changing into that dress when I saw her,” said Kyung-Soo.
“Ew! Ew! Ew! Why would you tell me that? She was changing and you saw her?” scolded Jung-Hwa.
Kyung-Soo sat up and stared at Jung-Hwa, condescendingly. “You are an idiot. She was in the changing room, I knocked, and she opened the door that’s when I saw her in a yellow dress.”
“Ohh that way.”
“Yeah, that way.”
“But why did she take your shirt?” inquired Jung-Hwa.
“That yellow dress had a plunging neckline and she looked HOOTT. To hide her skin and to make sure that she didn’t show her skin too much she wore my shirt that was hung on the hooks,” replied Kyung-Soo.
“Wait! Wait! Wait! This is so confusing. Why was your shirt on hooks in her changing room? You are making my brain hurt,” Jung-Hwa scratched his head.
Kyung-Soo exhaled heavily and narrated everything that happened in the store. How Da-Hee harassed him, how he ran away from the room and when he came back it was occupied by Nivritti. But Jae-Hwa came at that moment and Nivritti pulled him inside. She then scolded Da-Hee on his behalf and got her suspended.
She made sure the path was clear and then Kyung-Soo left, and no one found that he was inside the store. If people would have known he was there he would be in news, again.
“Wow! A bonus and then a discount. She is lucky. And again, she helped ASD. She is like our angel,” commented Jung-Hwa.
“You can say that,” smiled Kyung-Soo.
“That’s why you stopped me from wearing that jacket,” pouted Jung-Hwa.
“Yeah, that is mine. Don’t even think about wearing it. I would treat it as the first gift she ever got me,” exhaled Kyung-Soo.
“Ooo... Hyung is in love, Hyung is in love...” Jung-Hwa started singing the phrase, repetitively.
“Oh, shut up!” scolded Kyung-Soo but kept smiling at him.
“Wear it tomorrow and surprise her,” suggested Jung-Hwa.
“Good idea! Well, she was thinking of buying some gift for you,” said Kyung-Soo.
“What? Really! Oh, TK Hyung would be so jealous. What did she get me?” asked Jung-Hwa, excited.
“No idea. I told her not to get anything for you,” said Kyung-Soo.
“What? What?? What???” shouted Jung-Hwa. “Why would you do that?” he pouted.
“Because then you would get cocky and would tease us all every day, every moment,” scolded Kyung-Soo.
“That is right. You are right,” nodded Jung-Hwa. “How was she? Was her hand, okay?”
“She was fine. The lines on her arm were a little faded,” replied Kyung-Soo.
“Good, that’s good. Let’s get out otherwise everyone would start gossiping about you.”
“You, go. I will change my clothes and come.”
Jung-Hwa exited Kyung-Soo’s room and went downstairs. Kyung-Soo followed after him after a few minutes.
“Not a word from any of you,” ordered Kyung-Soo.
“Just tell us if we are going to see another scandal or rumours in your name,” said Korain.
“No, Hyung. I did nothing, I promise. No one recognised me who I was, and no one knows that I went outside the house except you guys,” said Kyung-Soo.
No one talked about Kyung-Soo after that.
