The Bandage

Everyone was staring at her bloody toe and cringing at the dangling nail and her ripped skin. Kyung-Soo kept his expression neutral not showing the pain he was feeling as Nivritti kept tightening her grip on his arm.

"Here!" Jae-Hwa came running with the nail cutter.

"Ritti! This is going to hurt as I am going to cut your skin," warned Korain.

"I can do it. I will do it," she shouted and leaned forward towards her leg, but Kyung-Soo was in her way. His face was in her way. She immediately leaned her head away from his face.

"My arms-," he pointed at his hands, "-your fingernails-," he signalled at her nail, "-just sit back, here, take my arm, close your eyes and sit back," commanded Kyung-Soo.

"But it will hurt," she sobbed. Young-Chul approached her, grabbed his sleeves, and wiped her cheeks.
