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

Chapter 23

"Don't joke with me like this, idiot. I'm not laughing at you either," Itt said back, although he felt in his heart that Pee wasn't kidding.

- ("I'm not joking,") Pee replied again. Itt was silent.

"I'm not gay," Itt said.

- ("If you're not gay, then Day, himself, I think is not gay either.") Pee said.

"I'm not feeling very well right now. I want to lay down and rest," Itt interrupted stubbornly.

- ("I see. I don't need an answer right now. You try to think about it for a while. It's okay. If you think it's too soon, you can try to date me first, but I can tell you now that I won't treat you like Day did.") Pee said.

"He didn't do anything to me," Itt couldn't help arguing back.

- ("Heh heh, let's just say I know enough. I won't bother you anymore. I hope, next time I call, you will answer my call.") Pee said before hanging up the phone, leaving Itt motionless. His brain was full of questions and doubts. He sat and thought for a long time.

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

A knock on the door startled Itt because he thought it was Day, at first. But after thinking again, Day probably wouldn't knock on the door. He probably would open the door.

"P' Itt... It's Beam. Can I come in?" A young man's voice sounded outside of the room. Itt frowned slightly.

"Come in. The door isn't locked," Itt shouted, turning his gaze back to the ceiling again.

"What's wrong, Beam?" Itt asked, his eyes not looking at Beam because he felt a strange ache in his heart when he saw the cute baby face of Beam.

"Uh... I asked P' Day if I could come up... Beam wants to apologize to P' Itt," said the young man with a trembling voice. Itt turned to look and couldn't help but pity the young man when he saw the bruises on his arms and his busted lip. Itt quickly sat up.

"Apologies for what?" Itt asked back.

"Beam, apologizes for causing P' Itt and P' Day to argue with each other," said the young man again. Itt just smiled when he heard this.

"No need to apologize. That's normal. There is a day that goes by that Day, and I don't argue with each other. Don't think too much about this," Itt said without any concern.

"But Beam doesn't feel good about this either way," said the young man. Itt looked at Beam for a moment.

"Sit down. Why are you standing?" Itt said. Beam went to sit on the chair by the dresser.

"Seriously, who hit you?" Itt asked curiously. Beam shook his head when he heard his question.

"If you don't want to tell me, it's okay," Itt said because he saw that it was a personal matter.

"P' Itt, have you ever loved someone one-sided? Loving that person knowing that the love in unrequited, but you were still stubborn to love them? " Beam said casually, causing Itt to hiccup before looking at Beam's face. Beam sat upright with a sad look on his face.

"I love him even though he hurts me. He physically harms my body, but I still choose to love him," Beam said. Itt frowned slightly when he heard this.

"Who do you love? Isn't it Day? You speak as if the person you love is not Day," Itt asked curiously because Day was not the one who hurt Beam. Beam looked up at Itt.

"What did P' Itt say? I don't think of P' Day that way. I love P' Day like he's one of my brothers," said Beam.

"But Day loves you," Itt said again. Beam looked at him with a confused expression.
