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.
"Yes, it will hurt. But something tells me you can endure it," said Young-Chul. "It is a matter of a few seconds. Just close your eyes and it will be done."
"Done!" shouted Korain.
