Love Syndrome (Day/Itt) - Book 1 (Authorized English Translation)

Chapter 16 🔞

Itt watched a movie and tried to get some sleep. Periodically, he would get to check on Day and wipe him down. After taking his medicine, Day fell asleep. No matter how many times Itt wiped him down, he didn't complain or get angry. It didn't even wake him up. This made Itt realize just how exhausted and sick Day must have been feeling.

Ring...Ring... Ring...

It was Day's phone ringing. The sound startled Itt. He instantly picked up the phone to see who was calling.

The caller ID read: Fu...

Itt frowned to himself in confusion because he didn't know Fu. He only knew Day's friend, Neil. He remembers hearing Day talk to this person. It was probably the person who's been taking care of Night for him. Itt decides to answer the call.

- ("P' Day") a voice spoke before Itt could say anything. He froze when he heard the voice.

- ("P' Day... Can you hear me...?") Itt's heart ached when he realized the person calling was Day's brother, Night.

"Uh... Is this..." Itt didn't know where to start, but the other person seemed to figure out that the person who answered the call wasn't his brother.

- ("Who is this? You're not P' Day, right?") Night asked in a low voice.

"Uh... Nong Night? I'm a friend of Day's. He's asleep, so I answered the phone for him," Itt pretended to be friends with the tall figure because he didn't think Night would recognize his voice either way.

- ("Oh... You are his friend... Has he been asleep for a while?" Night asked again.

Suddenly!

Before Itt could answer, the phone was snatched out of his hand. Day placed a hand on his forehead and held the phone up to his ear.

"What's wrong, Night?" Day asks his brother while trying to make his voice sound normal. Itt sat up and looked at Day with a pout on his face. Even when he was wiping Day down, he didn't wake up. However, as soon as he realized his brother was calling, he instantly woke up to take the call.

//I'm not jealous of him. I'm just annoyed with him. // Itt thought in his heart but didn't dare to say the words out loud.

- ("P' Day, where are you? Why don't you come stay with me?") The young boy's voice asked. Day knew Night probably thought he didn't care about him because Day paved the way for Gear.

"Well, I came back to the condo to get some sleep," replied Day, watching Itt out of the corner of his eye.

- ("Which friend are you with? Does he know me? The voice of your friend sounds familiar, but I don't remember where I've heard it before,") asked Night.

"You don't know each other. Anyway, do you want something or not? I'll go get it for you," Day says, sitting up.

"Where are you going?" Itt asked when he saw Day sit up.

"I'm going to see my brother," replied Day, turning to Itt.

"Are you crazy? You're not feeling well. Here. Give me the phone," Itt snatched the phone from Day's hand and ran to the balcony to talk. He knew that Day wouldn't be able to get up before he finished talking.

"Nong Night," Itt called out to the person on the other end of the line. Night was confused by the person speaking on his brother's phone.

- ("Yes,") Night responded.

"Well, your brother is sick. I want him to sleep a little longer. You can be alone, right?" Itt asked as he looked back at Day, who was now walking towards him.
