The Burnt Fingers

Nivritti moved towards her room and closed her door. Kyung-Soo moved to the kitchen. He looked around at all the shelves and finally found the kettle. He looked at the kettle for a minute pondering upon how much water to put in.

He opened his mouth to ask Nivritti but stopped himself. Biting his lower lips, he stood for another minute looking inside the pot. He sighed and filled the kettle all the way up and placed it on the stove. He opened the food packets and placed them in the microwave.

Nivritti came out of her room and without saying a single word she went inside the bathroom. She cleansed her face, hands and her feet and came out while wiping her face with a towel. She was on the verge of closing the bathroom door when Kyung-Soo screamed.

Throwing the towel around her shoulder, she ran towards him. "What happened?" she shouted.
