To Kiss An Idol - Chapter 227 - 227 The Satisfaction of Dae

227 The Satisfaction of Dae

Dae wanted his revenge and he exacted that. Nivritti was in pain. She fainted. He was happy, ecstatic. If he couldn’t hurt her any other way, he would settle on physically hurting her. What he didn’t expect was such an adverse reaction from Kyung-Soo. He grabbed his collar and shouted at him.

Only after Korain intervened, Kyung-Soo let go of Dae’s collar. Dae kept yelling sorry, but Kyung-Soo was not satisfied. Even after Chung-Ho took Dae’s side, Kyung-Soo kept giving Dae the stinky eye. When Chung-Ho ran from the room to get the doctor, Kyung-Soo and the boys send him away from the room.

The moment he stepped out of the room, a few of the script department people came toward him.

“What happened, Seong-ssi?” asked one of them.

Dae’s lips quivered and he replied in the saddest tone possible, “it is my fault. I hurt her. I stepped on her toe and now she is bleeding. The star of the script department is hurt because of me.” Before anyone could reply to him or ask any other questions, he sniffled and ran to his seat.

He threw the laptop on the table, laid his head, hid his face with his hands and kept making sobbing noise. She kept squinting his eyes, pressing his eyes hard so that at least one tear would drop from his eyes.

Do-Yun grabbed Dae’s bottle and placed his hand over his shoulder to calm him down. “Please, Seong-ssi, it’s okay. She will be okay. Please drink some water and calm down. Do we need to call the doctor?”

Dae slightly lifted his head and wiped his fake tears. He sniffled and took the water bottle from Do-Yun’s hands. After taking a sip he replied, “no, Choi-ssi went to get the doctor. I hope she is okay.”

The next moment, Chung-Ho came back with the doctor. Everyone left Dae alone and ran to the door to hear what was happening inside.

…..

“Great! These idiots have an attention span of a fly. Instead of comforting me, they are concerned for her,” he gritted his teeth and angrily lifted the flap of the laptop. He realised that instead of being angry, he should be happy that no one asked him about the scolding he got from Chung-Ho and Bong.

He wanted to read the scripts as he had to give the presentation to Bong but his mind was inside the conference room. “What is happening inside? There is no sound. What are they doing there? Did I make a mistake again? Oh, she will gain so much sympathy now. Shit! Should I have injured myself? Everyone would have allowed me to escape this stupid summary session. Oh, I am an idiot!”

After a few minutes, he saw security people come running with a wheelchair. “Oh, drama queen!” he rolled his eyes. “I just stepped on her toe. How hard was that? Did her foot break?” he mumbled and smiled at his own joke.

With one eye on his laptop and the other on the conference room door, he kept waiting for Nivritti to come out. He was dying to know what happened to her. There was a doctor inside, security came with a wheelchair, was she going home?

Finally, what he wished for happened. Chung-Ho and security came out with Nivritti. She had her eyes closed and her head was resting on the headrest of the chair. He wanted to see the pain in her eyes, on her face.

He ran toward the wheelchair and shouted, “I am sorry, Ritti, extremely sorry, it was just a mistake.”

But she never replied, she didn’t even look at him. Instead, Kyung-Soo again stood between him and Nivritti. He blocked his path and asked him to back off. Everyone knew the scary face of Kyung-Soo. When he would get angry, no one had any say after that. His words were always final.

Dae stepped away and stared at everyone walking away with Nirvitti in a wheelchair. He waited and waited for Chung-Ho to return and after a few minutes, he came back. He had to show that he was feeling guilty, he was feeling sorry.

He ran toward Chung-Ho and cried, “Please Choi-ssi, believe me, it was an accident. I would never hurt her. I would never hurt anybody.”

Chung-Ho comforted him and asked him to concentrate on the scripts as after a few hours he would have to give another presentation. Dae asked him to tell any news he would receive about Nivritti and Chung-Ho nodded.

Wiping the tears from his eyes, he reached his seat and when he was hidden from everyone, a devilish smile flashed on his face. Now, no one was thinking about Dae or his crappy day. When during the morning everyone was making fun of him and gossiping about him, now everyone was feeling bad for him.

Smiling like a Cheshire cat, Dae took out his phone and opened a note app. The scripts they had in the ‘Kyung-Soo’ folder, he kept jotting down the title, writer, and ID of the script. He was determined to give everything to Missmatch.

He first thought of getting money from his sabotage but now his first priority was getting Nivritti out of the company. He didn’t care for money anymore. He only cared about kicking Nivritti out of the company and out of his life.

After he was satisfied with the list, he compiled he locked his phone. He made sure that the large number of scripts that he was going to give to Missmatch would come from Nivritti’s servers. That way he could plant more evidence against her.

He kept reading and reading and increasing the numbers on his list. But his concentration was broken by Chung-Ho going inside the conference room. He kept glancing at the door trying to figure out why did he went inside.

He received his answer when Chung-Ho came back with Nivritti’s and Jae-Hwa’s laptops. He moved to their seats and packed their things for them.

“What is this Choi-ssi?” asked Dae.

“I am sending security people to the hospital to give them their bags,” replied Chung-Ho.

“What? Why?” asked Dae and stood up from his seat, shocked.

“You fractured her toe, Seong-ssi,” said Chung-Ho.

“No!” screamed Dae. “No, no, no, I didn’t mean that. That was a mistake. I didn’t see her and stepped on her toe. I am sorry. I need to call her and apologise but I don’t know what to say, how to apologise.”

“Seong-ssi! Her phone is here. Relax! I have sent a message to Jae-Hwa. She will keep us updated,” comforted Chung-Ho. “You please concentrate on your work. That is important too.”

“Yes, sir, sorry again,” Dae sat down and looked at the screen of his laptop and kept rubbing his eyes trying to show off that he was wiping his tears.

But Chung-Ho had no time for him. He just grabbed the girls’ things and stepped out. The moment he stepped out, Dae raised his head and with a smirk on his face looked at the door. He scoffed with happiness, “wow! I am strong. I really broke her bones. I would kiss you, my leg if we were at the house.”

He then concentrated on his work and he was happy to do so. His heart was full of happiness, wrapped in an envelope of satisfaction. “I won’t have to see her for days. Thank God!”

He immediately unlocked his phone and messaged Missmatch. “We need to meet. I have something for you.” He then placed his phone on the side and kept waiting for her to reply. Seconds changed into minutes and minutes changed into hours but there was no reply from her.

Finally, the time came for his presentation. Chung-Ho stood up and said, “Seong-ssi! Are you ready? Hu-ssi is waiting for you.”

“Yes, sir, I am ready,” replied Dae, grabbed his laptop and his phone, and stood up from his seat. Chung-Ho walked before him, and he followed him. The whole way to the CEO’s cabin, Dae kept glancing at his phone. Missmatch has still not replied to his message.

“Is everything okay?” asked Chung-Ho.

“Yeah, yeah, everything is fine,” replied Dae.

“You keep checking your phone,” said Chung-Ho.

“My wife! She injured her hand in the kitchen and went to the hospital. I am waiting for her reply to tell me that she reached back home safely,” lied Dae.

“Oh! That is so sad. Is she okay?” asked Chung-Ho.

“Yeah, yeah, just a burn. But you know how much I love her. I am just worried,” said Dae.

“Finish the meeting and then leave. No need to stay till the end of the day. Your wife too needs you,” comforted Chung-Ho.

“Thank you, Choi-ssi.”

They reached the 21st floor and greeted CEO’s assistant. “Kim-ssi!”

“Choi-ssi! Please go inside. They are waiting for you,” replied Ms. Kim.

“They? Who’s they?” thought Dae. The meeting was supposed to be between Dae and Bong. What did she mean by ‘they’?

Chung-Ho opened the door and walked in. Dae took a deep breath and was about to walk in when his phone chimed. He halted in his path. He wanted to check the phone to see if Missmatch replied to him but that would make him late and again Chung-Ho and Bong would rip into him.
