July [ Soobin ]

[ Episode 13 ] of July.

..."I just want to be loved back, Nad"...

...- Nakyung -...

...----------------...

"Radiotherapy?" Soobin frowned.

"Yes, medical devices for patients with certain diseases, Soobin.." Nakyung smiled, "We better go somewhere else yuk" he continued.

Soobin was silent. What disease is it? or did Nada and Doctor Kang come here just to pick up something? it could be, right? this made Soobin more curious.

Arriving at the park, Soobin asks Nakyung to sit in front of him. The man looked at Nakyung for a while, then started talking.

"Do you know Doctor Kang?"

Nakyung raised both eyebrows. Why did Soobin suddenly ask about Taehyun? "I? of course I recognize him"

"I want to know who he really is. Can you explain it to me?"

"Sure," Nakyung nodded softly "Doctor Kang, he is the assistant of Doctor Lee who is the chief physician and owner of this hospital, Soobin"

"He was also my fellow student in college, we fought together to get a Doctor's degree and finally got to work here" Nakyung explained.

"That means, you've known him for a long time.." Soobin.

"Yes, since High School actually, but getting close during college" Nakyung smiled gently while nodding softly.

"If you've known Doctor Kang for a long time, then you must know Nada too, right?"

Hearing Nada's name mentioned by Soobin, the girl's facial expression changed. He sighed, taking his eyes off Soobin.

"Can we discuss a topic other than that girl named Nada?" Nakyung looked back, but with a different look. This girl looks upset.

"Didn't you like it?"

"I'm just tired of answering questions about her, Soobin"

...----------------...

It was almost afternoon, Nada was still lying weakly on top of her ward with an oxygen hose towering over her face. His eyes were closed, but he did not sleep.

Doctor Kang was still sitting next to him. Twenty-five minutes ago, the side effects of Radiotherapy began to react on the body of Tone. The girl felt an unstoppable shortness of breath, yet it seemed that it had now started to subside.

The tone closed the eyes, feeling the difficulty of breathing freely as usual. His chest still hurts when he takes a breath. Moving his body he could not.

Luckily Taehyun moved quickly to help Nada. If the man leaves her, I don't know what will happen to her now.

To be honest, Nada did not dare to cry in front of others. Even in front of Taehyun, Nada did not want to. But if in this state, Nada was unlikely to avoid Taehyun.

His breathing felt very heavy, Nada could not bear it if he had to endure everything without crying.

A while later, Taehyun gently wiped the tears that were dripping from Tone's eyes. Swiping softly on Nada's shoulders, trying to strengthen her.

Taehyun sometimes thought, why is God so cruel to Nada. But, Taehyun also believed that on every test that befell Nada, there must be something that can be taken from the test.

"Strong yes, Nad.. God loves you" Lirih Taehyun held back tears.

...----------------...

Soobin pensively for a moment.

"Then, you said you were close to Doctor Kang. But, I didn't feel it? or do I not know?" the man asked again.

Nakyung sighed "Yes, I used to be close to Taehyun, and because of Nada we kept our distance"

"What's going on? is that bad as Nada separating you?" Soobin looked at Nakyung questioningly.

"Tone, he took Taehyun away from me, Soobin"

...- FLASHBACK -...

...Nada & Nakyeong...

That night, at 21:00.

When all the street lights had completely illuminated the city streets, Nakyung had just returned home from the center of her favorite place to study.

He crossed the street, headed for a small restaurant. His stomach was already starting to hurt, while the journey to his home was still far away. So, Nakyung thought it would be better if she stuck her stomach out first around here.

"HOW DARE YOU KEEP THAT MAN FROM ME?!!" Suddenly, a man's screaming voice rang out from the small alley in front of him.

Nakyung immediately approached the hallway silently.

"SAY!! YOUR MOM WAS CHEATING, RIGHT?!!" Shouted the man again.

"I-mom didn't do i-tu, Dad" Nakyung was quite surprised when she heard the shrill voice of a girl who answered the man earlier.

"YOU AND YOUR MOM DON'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE!!!"

BUGH.

"STOP IT!" Nakyung walked over to the two.

His eyes were perfectly rounded when he saw a girl crying sobbing while holding her right cheek.

"What did you do to your own daughter? your attitude is very rude!" Nakyung looked at the man late, then approached the girl.

"Who do you dare to interfere?!" The man looked back at Nakyung.

"You don't need to know who I am. All you have to know is, your bad attitude towards your own daughter" Nakyung embraces the girl's body, taking her away from that damp place "Remember, take her, whatever the case, you don't deserve to hit a little girl like her"

"HEY! WANT YOU TO TAKE HIM AWAY?!!" The man pulled the little girl's arm from Nakyung.

Nakyung raised the height of his mobile phone screen, pressing the phone button with the goal number 911.

"You still have time to get out of here, sir. If you don't let go of this girl, it means you're the one who spent the time to escape" Nakyung said.

The man seemed to panic, he growled, then pushed the little girl away, then went in the opposite direction.

"?!!" Nakyung rounded his eyes.

Quickly, he helped the weak-sitting girl "Come, we're out of here" Nakyung re-embraced the girl, taking her with a deep heart.

...----------------...

"So that guy is your dad?" Nakyung and the girl were already at one of the cafes, talking.

The girl nodded slowly, staring down.

"He's rude-amused"

"He's just angry, brother.." The girl cut off Nakyung's words, turning her head towards him. Instantly, Nakyung shook her head.

Clearly depicted in her eyes, this girl was trying to make her father innocent in front of others.

"Who are you staying with?" Ask Nakyung again.

"Mother, Brother, and Father.." Answer slowly.

"Ah~ so yes..by the way, what is your name?" Nakyung smiled gently.

"Tone"

...----------------...

A teenage boy with a guitar and metal style walks into a house. He frowned, staring at the door of his house that was wide open.

Stared around the corner, there was a pair of sandals the mother lying around the door. His eyes were perfectly rounded, remembering something.

His mother would not behave like this.

"MOTHER?!!" The teenager named Yeonjun rushed in, looking for the figure of the woman he loved.

"MOM??!!" He hurried through the room, there was no one there. His sister was not home either. Where'd they?

"ASAGHFIRULLAH MOTHER?!!" Yeonjun rushed to put his guitar, then approached the mother who was lying weak in the kitchen area.

"MOTHER? MOTHER WHY?? BUU.. BUU??" The man clasped his mother's head, gently patting her cheek in his arms.

There were a few bruises around the beautiful face of the mother. Seeing Mom's situation like this, made Yeonjun's heart crumble instantly. She knew, I must have fought with Dad again.

"J-jun.. N-tone, he-was taken by your father.t-please, find him, J-jun.." Lirih.

...----------------...

"Thank you, brother.." Nada and Nakyung had finished eating. Nakyung treats Nada, because she feels smug about him. Nada rejected it several times.

"Same, shall I take you?" Nakyung.

"No need, brother has helped me a lot earlier" Nada smiled slightly, turning to Nada.

"Are you sure you'll be safe on your way home? it's night, you know.."

"Sister has to go home, right? it's okay anyway, I'm used to going home alone"

"Yes, you're right too, yasudah.. take good care of yourself well yes.. later if there is anything, immediately ask for help to people older than you.. okay, Nad?"

Nada nods.

When they were about to go further than the cafe, the second step was immediately stopped by a man who had just arrived before them. Looks like this guy wants to get into this cafe as well.

The steady tone of the man for a moment. Trying to recall a face that seemed no longer unfamiliar in his eyes.

"Nakya? you-" The man looked at Nakyung for a moment, then turned to look at Nada "Loh? you?"
