The Barging In

Nivritti had to eat medicines three times a day. Pain, medicine and loss of blood, made her weak. She wanted to concentrate on her work, but all her body wanted to do was sleep. Soon, after dinner, which she took early as she was feeling sleepy, she messaged everyone 'goodnight' and retired early.

Jae-Hwa helped her to the bed and let her sleep. She worked for about an hour and then she too retired for the night.

It was around midnight when Nivritti woke up. She could hear Jae-Hwa snoring faintly. She needed to pee. She could see Jae-Hwa was soundly asleep, so she thought for a minute if she should disturb Jae-Hwa. But she needed help.

"Jae! Jae!" she said softly. But Jae-Hwa was too deep in her sleep. Nivritti groaned and placed her good foot on the ground. While hugging the sides of the bed she hopped towards the door. After bed, she kept leaning on the wall and made her way to the bathroom door.
