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

Chapter 22

"What's wrong, P' Itt?" Beam asked when he saw Itt looking down at himself.

"No, it's... nothing... Thank you for the grapefruit," Itt said. Itt didn't dare to ask what's going on between Beam and Day. The only thing Itt knows is that Beam works in the salon. Is their relationship only employer-employee, or does he have something else going in with Day. Itt doesn't even know.

Knock... Knock... Knock...

The doorknob twisted before a tall figure opened the door and walked in.

"What are you doing here, Beam? Day asked when he saw Beam in his bedroom.

"I brought grapefruit for P' Itt. P' Day, did you want to eat some? It's sweet. Just now, when I peeled it, I tried it," the young man told Day with a smile. Day looked at Itt. Itt turned his head and looked the other way. Day watched Itt and smiled slightly at his reaction.

"Is it really sweet, Beam?" Day asked. Beam nodded.

"Then, bring it to me," Day said. Beam makes a blank face while silently pointing at himself without Itt seeing, but hearing those words was enough to make Itt feel a sharp pain in his chest.

"Me?" Beam asked.

"Well, can't you feed me?" Day asked back.

"Yes, yes," Beam replied before picking up the grapefruit from the plate. He caught a glimpse of Itt. Before seeing Beam put the grapefruit in Day's mouth, Itt immediately got up and walked towards the bedroom balcony. Beam turned to watch Itt with a puzzled expression on his face before looking back at Day. Day was also looking back and forth between Beam and Itt before keeping his eyes on Itt.

"Ah..." Beam cleared his throat.

"Ah, er, what are you doing?" Day asked Beam. Beam wrinkled his nose a bit.

"P' Day, you're not good at this. I am going to leave," the young man said to his boss before walking out of Day's bedroom, leaving Day standing dumbfounded because he didn't notice much of anything.

"Aren't you eating some grapefruit?" Day asked in a low voice.

"No," Itt replied in a low voice while looking outside from the balcony.

"Beam is cute," Itt said out loud.

"Hmm, he's very cute," Day replied. Itt bit his lip before pressing them together a bit. He continued to stand with his back to Day before letting out a slight smile.

"He can talk to me. He's cute. I like him," Itt turned and said to Day in a normal tone. Day was silent for a moment as he stared at Itt. The tall figure walked over towards Itt before raising his hand to squeeze Itt's chin.

"Do you still want to fuck someone else?" Day asked coldly.

"Why can't I? Or is Beam your baby?" Itt asked back wanting to know what Day would say. Day looked at Itt for a moment in silence before letting go of Itt's chin.

"Er... Beam is my son. You must not touch Beam. Not even with the tip of his fingers. Otherwise, I'll kill you, Itt," Day said in a deep voice.

Itt feels a burning sensation in his eyes from the tears that are welling up. He realizes how much pain he is feeling inside his chest. He tries to hide his pain by forcing his tears back, careful not to let any tears fall from his eyes.

"Very jealous, aren't you... Can't I touch a little bit of him?" Itt asked again.

"Don't even think about it," Day said back. Itt clenched his mouth shut tightly. He didn't say anything. He could only look at Day's face with pain in his eyes that couldn't be hidden.
