...[ IU - My Old Story ]...

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

Dinner time's coming. Taehyun and Nada are having dinner together in Nada's room. Soobin is not there, she goes with Doctor Na for a final check.

I think time passes so quickly. The man is now recovering from the crash. It has been almost a month Nada knew Soobin, from the start of the suicide attempt, until now.

Taehyun too, it had been three years that Nada knew this man. All sorts of joys and sorrows they had gone through together. Taehyun is also growing up.

Also, getting handsome.

Dinner time was unusual. Taehyun who usually talks a lot, tells this story, now just silent. Like, thinking of something.

"Taehyun?" Tone looked at the man's face with a gentle look.

Taehyun turned, "Hmm?"

"How was today? I can't wait to hear from you, "The girl smiled.

Taehyun sighed, staring at the floor. It seemed like something was bothering his heart.

"What's wrong?" Tone did not take his eyes off Taehyun. This man, if you are thinking a lot, must be very quiet.

"Nad, I'm still thinking about my last patient.." Taehyun was still staring down, his mind was really worried.

"What happened to her?"

"She's young, I think she's the same age as you. She's a girl, Nad. a hit-and-run victim" Taehyun raised his gaze, staring at Nada's shady face.

"Then?"

"He died" Taehyun again lowered his gaze. This was not the first, but Taehyun always behaved this way when his patients died.

"Hey, you've fought well, Taehyun" Tone slashed the distance, gently touching Taehyun's shoulder, smiling.

The distinctive hawaiian zahrat aroma of Nada smelled, making Taehyun a little calm. This scent, this girl, always managed to make her comfortable.

"I failed, Nad. I made her family cry"

"Taehyun, the matter of life and death, only God has the right to determine, not you. No matter how hard you try to save someone's life, if it's time for him to come home, you will not be able to prevent it.." Tone smiled softly "You have tried to save his life, but the love of his God may be greater to the point of having to take him away from the world"

Taehyun raised his gaze, looking at Nada.

"My prince cares a lot about his patients, he's very kind Ya Robb" Smile Nada expands. His hand gently rubbed Taehyun's shoulder.

A taehyun? she smiles. If this girl had already called him that, how could Taehyun be unhappy.

"Eat, don't smile like that" Tone chuckled softly "Don't be sad anymore, Taehyun. If you're sad, I'm sad too"

The man nodded slowly, returned to eating. After a few minutes, Nada grabbed a bottle of mineral water. The girl had a little trouble opening the lid. Indeed, Taehyun also had to spend his energy to open the lid.

"Give it," Taehyun's hand stretched out.

Tone turned, "What?"

"That bottle, Nada. Here let me help you open"

"No, I can, Taehyun" Nada turned the lid back to the right and then to the left "I'm strong, great" he said later.

Taehyun held back a laugh. This girl's..

"Give me, your hands are already red so" Taehyun smiled faintly at Nada who was still busy with the drink bottle.

"No, you think because I am a woman I cannot open this lid in front of you, Taehyun? haha, no. I can" This stubborn tone was adorable to Taehyun.

"Alright, I won't force you anymore" Taehyun smiled, he noticed Nada.

A few minutes passed, Nada still did not want to give up. He's still rolling around the bottle. Until, he let out a long breath, and-

"Taehyun's.." Well, finally.

"Hmm?" Taehyun downed his drink, staring at Nada.

"Please, here.." The tone stumped his lips, staring in the other direction while thrusting the bottle of drink from earlier held.

"Please what, Nada?" Taehyun chuckled softly.

"It! open it!" A grunting tone, basic Taehyun, he could have pretended not to understand.

Taehyun chuckled, then picked up the bottle of drink handed over by Nada "Here, here, here"

PLAQUES

The bottle is open.

"Here, Nadaa" Taehyun smiled, thrusting back the opened bottle.

"Still" Nada immediately accepted it with a feeling of embarrassment. This made Taehyun's stomach amused to want to laugh by Nada's stubbornness.

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

The next day, Nada was made to panic by the nurse who came to see her early in the morning. The girl ran towards Grandma's room, followed by Taehyun behind her.

"Doctor Kang, Grandma Nada needs help"

The girl's chest was pounding, her legs were instantly trembling. When she arrived, Grandma looked very weak. His lips were deathly pale, his breathing was breathless.

"GRANNY?!" Tone clasped the old woman's hand, clasping her tightly "What happened to grandma?" The girl's voice sounded softly in Taehyun's ears.

The man rushed to check, he was busy with medical devices and nurses.

"Tone, please step back first, I will handle grandma" Nada nodded, retreating to let Taehyun take his place.

Oxygen device was placed on Grandma's face. A few minutes later, she began breathing normally again. The girl crouched down, covering her face.

Taehyun sighed, he managed to move quickly. The man turned towards Nada, approached her, then gently rubbed Tone's hair.

"Grandmother is fine, Nad. Don't cry" she said softly.

Taehyun's hands clasped Nada's cheeks, gently rubbing the tears that drenched her cheeks "Already yes, don't cry"

Tone got up aided by Taehyun, then nodded. The man embraces Nada, bringing her closer to Grandma's ward.

"Grandma, I-Tone? Doctor Kang? what's a-grandma?!" Soobin who had just entered seemed panicked. He clasped the hand of the infusan-free grandmother.

"What's going on, Nad?"

Tone did not reply, the girl still looked at Grandma's face with occasional tears and hurriedly removed it.

"That first grandmother suddenly short of breath, Soobin.but, Alhamdulillah now has started to improve again" Taehyun answered Soobin's question.

The man turned his head, then looked back at the grandmother "Oh Allah, Grandma.."

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

Taehyun sighed slowly. Tone of the hunger strike, she had been daydreaming a lot since leaving grandmother's room. Taehyun knows, this child is very worried about Grandma's health.

"Nad, eat first, just a little" Taehyun said softly.

"I'm not hungry, Taehyun.." Answer the tone without looking. He spoke in a flat tone, his gaze fixed on the food on the table.

"You're not hungry, Nad. You just don't pay attention to your stomach. Eat, yeah, one mouthful"

Tone unmoving.

"Signs.." Taehyun again said "Don't make Grandma sad because you don't want to eat just because you think about her, let's eat"

"I'm just afraid grandma will leave me, Taehyun. I'm not ready, I won't be ready to accept that.."
