...****************...

...Flashback three days ago -...

Tone has recovered from the side effects of Radiotherapy. The girl has started to walk slowly while still holding on to objects that are able to withstand her body weight.

She can't wait to meet Soobin today. It was already two days late, Soobin would definitely be furious with her cute face. The girl chuckled softly guessing what would happen later.

"Nad, where are you going?" Taehyun who just came out of the bathroom with a white towel came to Nada who was trying to walk out by holding on to the wall of the room.

"I'm cured, Doctor Kang, I want to go see Soobin" she replied with a smile.

"Nad, you've just recovered.at least tomorrow or the day after tomorrow you can meet Soobin whenever you want, but for today don't first, huh? look, your walking is still limp" Taehyun touched both Nada's shoulders, looking at her.

"I'm fine, Doctor Kang.." A soft smiling tone looked at the worried-looking Taehyun.

"You're always stubborn, Nad. Okay, you can go, but.."

"But what?"

"I have to go with you"

Tone chuckled softly at Taehyun's words just now "You want to go out in clothes like this?"

"You think I'm that close? no, Iah" Taehyun frowned, "Wait a minute, let me change my clothes" He continued.

"Yes, yes, quickly" Nada nodded with a smile, then sat down on the sofa.

A few minutes later, Taehyun returned in a white coat and gray toad pants. With the hair that has been combed. Ah, the more here he looks the better looking he is.

"How's it?" Taehyun. Now the man has acted like a model who is photoshoot in front of Nada.

He rubbed both sides of his head, smiled, touched his chin, and much more. Tone just stared at him. Taehyun has a random nature, sometimes so adorable, sometimes also this is the attitude.

"So you want to accompany me away or are showing pent-up talent?"

"Hehe, yes come on" Taehyun smiled widely until his teeth were seen, then helped Nada stand up.

Patiently, Taehyun led Nada along. Occasionally greet some doctors and nurses who have been known by both. They are now on their way to Soobin's room.

Smile Tone expands during the trip. But when the two arrived in front of Soobin's room, Nada glanced at the window.

Yes, that sight is what is clearly visible in front of Nada now.

The girl rewinded her steps, making Taehyun wonder. What's with the tone? because the man was behind Nada earlier, so did not see what Nada had just seen.

"What's up, Nad? why back off like this?" Taehyun tried to hold Nada's body from behind.

Tone was still fixated on the two humans, his smile instantly fading, his gaze blurred due to the tears that were blocked in his eyes. Her chest feels very tight.

The man she had longed for, she-she

Tone lowered his gaze, shaking. Her tears just fell. Taehyun who had noticed the change in Tone's attitude instantly turned over Nada's tiny body, then took her away as quickly as possible.

"Doctor Kang. i-it was-" Nada said in a trembling voice.

"No, Nada. don't remember that anymore" Taehyun gently rubbed Tone's hair. The girl's eyes were already watering.

"Doctor Kang, Soobin.." Tone lowered his head, crying. He hates this. His heart felt pierced from behind. Immediately, Taehyun carried Tone in his arms.

Tone's shoulders moved up and down rapidly, his breathing sounding fierce. Taehyun knew, Nada wanted to cry freely, but she could not.

Nakyung and Soobin, why are you doing this? why are you making Nada cry?

Taehyun said in his heart.

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

After the incident, Nada was reluctant to leave the room. He would rather stay silent in his ward than have to look at such a scene a second time.

No, Nada doesn't want to anymore.

The attitude of the girl also changed, she became more quiet than usual.**** hence reduced, this made Taehyun more worried.

"I want to go outside for a while" Taehyun got up from his chair, then-

Taehyun. Not answering Nada's question.

"Doctor Kang?" Tanya Nada looked over. Trying to see Doctor Kang's face.

"I want to go see Soobin" Taehyun turned his head, looking at Nada.

As soon as he heard Taehyun's reply, Nada's gaze turned wistful. The shadow was back in his mind.

"For what?"

"I want to ask for an explanation, Nad. Why is he doing all this? on what basis is she hugging-"

"Please, don't go anywhere, Doctor Kang" Tone cut Taehyun's speech.

The man could only stare at her without an answer anymore.

"I don't want you to leave me here alone"

...- End of flashback -...

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

Today, Nada has started to leave the room. This morning, he went to see his grandmother who had not been visited for a long time.

Seeing this, Taehyun became a little more relieved. Yes, even though Nada is not the same as before seeing the incident three days ago, at least he has tried to accept it with airy heart.

And now, the girl was knitting something in front of the window. Outside the drizzle, the room becomes cooler.

But Nada said it was okay, she did not feel the slightest coldness. Taehyun could not force that stubbornness, it was better to let it go if Nada did look good.

"Aren't you thirsty? can I buy you some chocolate?" Taehyun asked with a smile next to Tone.

"If I say I don't?" Tone looked up while smiling.

"I'll keep buying it for you" replied Taehyun.

"Well?" The girl frowned.

"Because Taehyun knew Nada really liked chocolate, which he might reject" The man chuckled softly, making Nada so chuckle along.

But Taehyun was right. He really likes chocolate.

"I go first yeah, promise it won't be long"

"Yes, go.." Soft smiling tone.

They are like a married couple who want to split up for work in the morning, right?

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

Journey home.

Taehyun was walking down the hospital corridor with a plastic bag containing two chocolate bars and two warm chocolate bottles packed in a can.

He smiled, about to turn towards Nada's room. However, his gaze came to a halt when he saw someone in a wheelchair speeding towards a wet and slippery garden area.

Soon, Taehyun ran after him from behind. He looks like Soobin. And, sure enough. When the distance between the two was close, this man was really Soobin.

GREPP'S.

Taehyun held the wheelchair handle tightly from behind, making it stop speeding instantly. Almost this wheelchair slid into the area affected by rain.

"Where are you going? it's raining. You can fall!" Taehyun.

Soobin turned his head, "Don't stop me, Doctor Kang. i-that, I saw Nada running there, please don't stop me. I want to see her, I beg you"

Taehyun looked at him for a moment. Soobin looked very hasty earlier. Nada was in her room. Where could he have gone raining without Taehyun's permission. Also, not necessarily Nada wants to see this man again.

"Soobin, Nada is not there, you must have seen it wrong" Taehyun said.

"No! obviously he's Nada, let me go Doctor Kang!" Seeing this, Taehyun felt sorry for him. Soobin, she seemed to miss Nada very much. But recalling the events of the past day, made Taehyun's heart hesitate.

"He is not Nada, after all Nada might want to see you again, Soobin" Taehyun said firmly.

Hearing that, Soobin's tears fell without warning. He looked at Taehyun's face with wet eyes, as well as his heart that felt sore. What did he say just now? Nada doesn't want to see him again? wh why?

"What do you mean, Doctor Kang?"
