"Four months?" Soobin looked at Nada in confusion.

"Yes, two months I accompanied my mother, two months later I came back here, Soobin" Tone smiled faintly "Oh yes, you've eaten?"

Soobin shook her head "Not yet"

"Then, let's eat, eat a lot rather your stomach is not empty.but not too much, to make your stomach want to break" Tone smiled widely.

Soobin smiled slightly, "What about you?"

"Hey, this food ration is for one person only, Soobin"

"Eat with me, Nada. I don't like it anyway, so please help me to finish this meal"

"You know? this porridge does not use MSG. I can not imagine it, must be very bland. is it?"

"Not really"

"Are you trying to trick me?" Tone looked at Soobin with a suspicious look. This made Soobin smile.

"Your race is too bad, Nad, let's try a little"

"So, my feelings are not good" said Nada.

Soobin chuckles "Eat, quick"

Tone scooped the porridge, then put it in his mouth. Unfortunately Nada scooped the porridge with a dose that is not small.

"How's it?"

Tone silently looked at Soobin who was also looking at him with a smile. Half-dead Nada tried to swallow the porridge to get into his stomach.

"I'd rather eat dieters' food than have to swallow this tasteless dilute porridge" Dengus Nada.

Again, Soobin chuckles.

"Stress you Soobin.. Tomorrow, let me cook you a meal" Nada continued.

"really?"

"really"

"Then, I will wait for him" Soobin said with a big smile to raise a trough on her cheek.

Tone stared at Soobin lamat lamat.

"Yaa~ Soobin"

Soobin.

"Stay smiling like this, you look very handsome" Nada smiled, apparently this made Soobin so embarrassed.

"really?"

"Not really" Tone laughed.

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

At 15:10

The rain outside has died down. Soobin and Nada were still together to spend time talking. Now they look more familiar.

Tone turned towards the wall clock, then looked back at Soobin.

"In a moment, I must meet my Lord"

Hearing that, Soobin looked at Nada questioningly "What do you mean?"

Smiling tone, "Sholat, Soobin.your thoughts are too far away"

Soobin smiled, "That you have so much meaning, I want to understand it more deeply, Nad"

"Stay with me, Soobin" replied Tone "I'm saying goodbye, yes.. Someone will definitely be looking for me if I leave for too long. You have to remember my promise tomorrow, help me make it happen..okay?"

Soobin. The girl turned around, then-

"Tone, wait" Soobin called slowly, making the girl turn back around "So soon to see me tomorrow"

"Go, I'll take my words back" Soobin replied.

Hearing that, Nada laughed more and more "Hey, without you telling me I will come quickly. Don't get angry so Soobin, I became anxious to eat you"

"You-" Soobin rounded her eyes at Nada.

"Bye Soobin, I say goodbyeuu~" The girl ran away from Soobin's room laughing.

Tone looks beautiful when laughing.

After Nada died, Soobin was silent for a moment. He recalled all the past events, when that feeling of despair came engulfing his heart.

About how God presented the Tone in Soobin's life in an unexpected, yet very beautiful way.

A person with a smile as bright as spring, with a warm attitude like sunshine, also his gaze shaded like the moon.

Forgive Soobin, Lord.. I have misjudged Your plan, but I know nothing.

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

At 23:52.

Soobin still could not close her eyes. His mind just kept fixed on the promise given by Nada this afternoon.

Maybe because Soobin was too excited and could not wait to taste the food Nada, so he could not sleep.

Honestly, Soobin had planned to go to bed early, but his efforts failed until now. Tone, you really made Soobin so unable to sleep.

Okay, Soobin. Stop thinking about Tone. Go to bed to wake up early. Yep.

Soobin closed his eyes slowly, then began to count the sheep that escaped from the farmer's field. Count to 50, sure enough. Soobin finally fell asleep.

At 06.00.

Soobin awakens to the sound of a girl gently rubbing her arm. By opening his eyes slowly, his figure became increasingly clear. The girl with the horse pigtail hair ties, the white outfit is now standing right next to her ward.

She was the girl who came to her room yesterday.

Wait, you think he's Tone?

Nope. He's not Nada.

She was the young female doctor who gave Soobin the medicine yesterday. She's a friendly girl and smart, her name is Nakyung.

"I'm sorry I had to wake you up, Soobin" she said, smiling "How are you doing now?"

Nakyung placed the stethoscope hanging around her neck to Soobin. The morning check apparently.

"Well, Doc" Soobin replied with a faint smile.

"Well, I'm so glad to hear that.." Nakyung smiled wider "Do you need anything? let's say.."

"Nothing, doc.." Soobin shook her head slowly.

"Is that so?" Nakyung raised her eyebrows slightly "OK, but if you need anything, you can tell me, Soobin"

"All right"

"I'm sorry I haven't been able to keep you company all day" Nakyung looked at Soobin.

"It's okay, don't worry about it anyway I understand how busy a doctor like you is"

"Hmm, yeah, that's how Soobin is.." Nakyung smiled slightly "Then, breakfast well yes, do not forget to take your medicine, we meet again later" he continued.

Soobin nodded, then returned Nakyung's smile.

Nakyung passed from in front of Soobin. The man glanced towards the wall clock, it was already at half-seven.

He said he would come early? breakfast has even come, he hasn't been seen yet. All right, Soobin will be waiting for him.

At 08.00.

Yeah, that kid hasn't come yet. The porridge covered by a sheet of plastic is already dewy inside. Soobin waited an hour.

Whatever, Nada.

Soobin was forced to eat this, her stomach was no longer able to be held back. About the later taste, the most important thing now is that his stomach is filled.

The man took his breakfast menu, opened the plastic, then took a spoon. Just as the first mouthful was about to enter his mouth, someone entered all of a sudden.

"Don't eat that, Soobin"
