“Iori!”

“Nii san?”

“Today I will make a promise.”

“What is it nii san?”

“I will protect you till the day I die! I will protect you from everything! I will work hard and do my best for you! I promise!”

“Nii san, you don't need to say that.”

“I have to Iori. And it will be a promise. Forever!”

Forever....
Do you really exist?


“Izumi Mitsuki. Please come forward.”

Mitsuki was nervous on how the results would be.

“Your application has been approved. You will be starting your work tomorrow. Congratulations.”

“Yes!”

Mitsuki jumped in joy. He took the papers and took the train to get home.

“This will be for you Iori. I promise you will get out of that tribulation.”

When he went home he opened the door and he was greeted by his little brother.

“You seem to be happy nii san.”

“Yes Iori! My application on that company has been approved! I will start my work tomorrow. They said my salary will be much bigger than my old work!”

“That's nice nii sa- cough! cough!

“Iori! Don't worry, I will work hard for you. I won't let you die! You're the only family I have!”

“Nii san...”

Seriously. Why is this happening to our family.

It started with okaasan. When she was still giving birth to Iori. One day she just coughed continuously. The doctor said she have pneumonia. I was still young that time so I did not know what it is. But my father explained that it was a deadly disease. We don't have that much money to buy medicines for her. When she gave birth to him, she did not take it so she lost her life. I was so sad. Now I don't have a mother. Iori did not even had the chance to see her. Because of that otousan worked hard. But one day he got on an accident. The engine of the train that otousan was riding went wrong. Suddenly it collided to another train and because of the impact there we're many people who died. Including otousan. Now we did not know what we would do. When I was 19 I noticed that Iori can't stop coughing and it looked like it was getting hard to breathe for him. I did not know what to do. I brought Iori to the nearest center hoping that someone would help us. He's only 15. I can't let him die. Luckily his check up was free but I was not happy for the results.

“Your little brother have pneumonia.”

‘P-pneumonia?’

“H-how much would the medicine would be?”

“In his case, it would be 2400 yen sir.”

‘B-but where would I get that money?’

“O-okay. Thank you ma'am.”

‘I will work hard for him.’

“Don't worry Iori. I will do my best.”

‘I can now start my work. Don't worry Iori. You will soon be alright.’
