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

Chapter 32

"I bought it for you to eat. I didn't buy it to eat for myself," Day said in a flat tone.

"Well, I'll share it with you too," Itt said. Day went to sit on Itt's bed without saying a word. Itt smiled a little and tried to walk over to put the dumplings on the table.

"Wait," Day said. Itt turned to look at him in confusion.

"Walk over here," Day said softly. Itt doesn't hesitate to walk over to Day. He stopped right in front of Day, who was sitting at the foot of his bed.

"What? What's wrong?" Itt asked in a hesitant voice because he didn't know why Day called him over. Day looked at him with a blank expression.

"Explain to me why you lied to me," Day asked while pulling Itt to sit with him at the foot of the bed in between his legs. Itt was facing away from Day. His strong hands wrapped around Itt's waist, preventing him from squirming away.

"Ah... I told you why... It was because I wanted to come back to see my father and mother," Itt said softly because he knew very well that what he was saying was just an excuse.

"Are you sure? Day asked him again. Itt nodded slowly without speaking.

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

A knock was heard on Itt's door, which caused him to jump a bit.

"Day, let me go," Itt said because Day was still hugging his body close. The tall figure took a deep breath before frustratedly agreeing to let Itt get up to answer his door.

"What is it, Dare?" Itt asked in surprise to the boy who works in his father's shop.

"The old man asked me to get you to come with me. He said that P' Pee brought his car for you to help with. P' Itt, the Boss asked for you to come help him look at it," Dare said. Itt immediately froze and turned to look at Day, who was now sitting with a tense expression.

"Didn't he do that on the first day he came here?" Itt turned to ask the employee from the shop.

"P' Pee didn't do this. He said he would wait for P' Itt to come and look at this with him," Dare said again.

"Tell my father that I'm busy," Itt said, trying to find a way to avoid Day's bad temper.

"Hey, call and tell him yourself. I don't want to get hit by the boss," Dare said.

"Okay, I'll call Papa, myself. You go back to work," Itt said before closing the door to the room and turning to look at Day. The tall man sat quietly and said nothing. Itt walked over and picked up the house phone in his room. He called his father's office.

"Papa, it's Itt... Can't you let someone else look at Pee's car? Why is he waiting for me? I have a guest, Papa," Itt said to his father.

"I know that Pee is the son of your friend, but I don't see the need for me to go see him here. P' Keng is there. Let him look at it. Keng, he's the best in our shop, Papa," Itt complained to his father. Day sat still and didn't say anything.

"Papa, you're being mean... Do you care more about Pee than me? ...I don't know. Papa, ask Keng to see Pee's car. Bye, Papa," Itt quickly hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

"What did he bring the car for?" Day asked quietly.

"Uh," Itt answered in a low voice.

"You can go see him," Day said. Itt immediately looked at Day in confusion. How did Day accept this so easily?

"What's did you say?" Itt asked again just to be sure.

"I said you can go look at his car. Didn't your father tell you to go down and have a look at it?" Day said again. Itt furrowed his brows together in extreme surprise.

...

Itt walks into the shop with a dull expression on his face. Day follows behind him with a blank expression. The reason Day allowed Itt to come down to look at Pee's car is because he was tagging along with him.

This made Itt feel insecure. He feared that the two would have a fight in his parents' shop. Itt doesn't want to be known, in front of the other employees and the customers in the shop, as the owners' son who had two men fighting each other over him.

"Oh, I thought you said you weren't coming down, Itt?" Itt's father asked. He was standing in front of Pee's car, talking to him while looking at the person standing behind Itt with a confused expression. He paused a moment when he saw Day. There were still a few traces on Pee's face from his fight with Day.

"I'm tired of hearing my father complaining. That's all. Papa, this is... uh..." Itt doesn't know how to introduce Day.

"Hello, my name is Day. I'm a senior of Itt," Day raised his hand to pay respect to Itt's father. Itt was a little stunned because he had never seen Day raise his hand to show respect to anyone before.

"Ah... You're who Itt's mother said was staying with you too, isn't that right?" Itt's father asked.

"Yes," Day replied with a slight smile before looking at Pee with piercing eyes.

"I see that you're helping tutor Itt, as well. Well, this kid is smart, but he can't skip out on studying. In any case, please teach him," Itt's father said ignorantly.

"Father, did you call me here to insult your own child? What do you want me to do?" Itt interrupted because the more he heard his father talk, the more embarrassed he was becoming. He knows very well the real reason he went to live with Day.

"Oh, look at the car for P' Pee. He can talk to you now. I'm going to go take care of the work inside," Itt's father said to Pee with a smile.

"Yes, I'll talk to Itt myself," Pee replied with a humble expression before Itt's father walked away, leaving only Day, Itt and Pee standing to face each other. Dare was working in the shop, not too far from them. Itt turned to look at Day.

//Day... I want you not to cause any problems in the shop. I don't want my Papa to be shocked. // Itt turned and whispered to Day.

// Go tell him. Don't tell me. I'll sit here. You get to work. // Day spoke in a smooth voice before taking a seat in the chair the stop has for customers. It was next to where Pee's car was parked. Itt then walked over to Pee.

//Pee... I want you to not tease Day... I don't want my Papa to be suspicious of anything or to be shocked. // Itt asks of Pee.

//Why? Are you afraid that your father will find out that you brought your husband to the house?// Pee whispered to Itt softly. Itt immediately frowned.

Tell me, what is wrong with you? Don't make me more upset. In fact, I can let Keng, our top employee, come and look at your car. Why does it have to be me? // Itt asks while complaining.

// I wanted to see you, but I didn't think that, Damn, Day would come too // Pee whispered back.

"What the hell are you talking about? Why aren't you looking at the car?" Day said, not caring about the other employees because he knew Itt's parents couldn't hear him anyway.

"Can't acquaintances talk and greet each other?" Pee replied. Itt's face tensed up immediately when Pee replied back to Day like that.

"Just say hi to him. I don't care, but if you want to flirt with him, I think it's best you go back and think again," Day said calmly.

"Why?" Pee asked.

"Both of you, shut up!!" A sharp voice called out, causing the employees who were close by to look at him in surprise.

"What are you looking at? Shouldn't you be working?" Itt turned around and yelled at employees in annoyance.

"I told you two already to be quiet," Itt said in a harsh tone before turning to look at Day.

"Day, don't ask me anything. You're slowing me down. As for you, Pee, are you going to look at the car? If not, you can take your car back and leave," Itt said desperately. He doesn't want his parents to find out about any of this now. Day stared blankly at Itt before picking his phone up. He sat down and played on his phone without saying anything.

"Okay, let's look at my stereo. What do I need to do?" Pee immediately switched to talking about the car when he saw Day was stilling still.

Itt let out a sigh of relief before starting the car for Pee. There were times when Day looked up with jealous eyes when he saw that Pee and Itt were too close together, but Itt didn't notice all the times Day looked displeased. Some time has passed.

"As for the audio equipment, I can recommend you that much. For the installation, it will need to be done by a skilled technician. You can choose whichever one you like. I'll suggest a mechanic for you, or you can consult with Papa. He can recommend one for you," Itt said when he had talked to Pee about the car audio equipment.

"Where are you going after this?" Pee asked.

"I'm going home," Itt replied.

"Can't you come eat with me again? When... Oops!" Pee accidentally said. Pee's mouth was covered.

//Shut your mouth// Itt gritted his teeth and warned Pee.

Suddenly!!

The lean figure was pulled away from Pee.

"What's going on?" Day asked sternly. His eyes stared hard at Pee. Pee looked at Itt and Day alternately.

"Nothing. I'm just teasing Itt, so he's embarrassed," Pee replied casually. Day turned to look at Itt.

"It's nothing, right. Don't do this to me," Itt said in an annoyed tone before pulling his wrist out of Day's hand.

"Why!? What did I do?" Day asked in a harsh tone.

"Can't you talk nicely to Itt?" Pee replied. Itt turned to look at Pee's face with concern.

"What's going on?" Itt's father opened the office door and asked because they could be seen from the window inside of his office.

When they saw Itt's father walking out, both Day and Pee didn't say anything further.

"Oh. It's nothing, Papa. We were just discussing the car audio," Itt quickly dismissed him.

"Oh... is Pee finished yet? Tell me, what kind do you want?" Itt's father asked again.

"Alright then. I'll talk to Uncle later," Pee said before looking at Day and entering Itt's father's office. Itt let out a sigh of relief before turning to look at Day's angry face.

"What does it mean for you to look at me like that?" Day he asked in an irritated tone.

"I'll ask again," Itt said before pulling Day's arm to walk back to his own house and lead him upstairs to his bedroom. Day agreed to follow him while being dragged by Itt with force, but with good intentions.

As soon as the door of the room was closed, Itt's body was spun around. He was going to protest, but his breath was taken away. He hit Day's strong chest immediately as warm lips messed against his plump lips.

A strong hand holds Itt's waist closer to him. Itt was frightened and tried to turn away but was pressed closer by Day's hand on the back of his head. The hot tongue intertwined with his small tongue.

"Ugh, uh, uh, uh," Itt tried to resist, at first, but eventually gave in when Day's hot tongue played with his small tongue non-stop.

Day's intense kisses cause Itt to feel like he was about to float until Day slowly pulled back from the kiss. Itt looked at Day's face. His eyes trembled, but his face lifted up before he regained his consciousness and pushed Day's strong chest away from him.

"What the hell are you doing, suddenly kissing me like that?" Itt said, even though his face turned red.

"Well, why can't I kiss you?" Day asked in a deep voice.

"You don't have to be so harsh to me. What have you done then? Don't think that I'll forget, Day... I already told you not to mess with Pee," Itt said when to complain at Day about this.

"Then why don't you go and yell at him? Why are you only yelling at me?" Day asked back.

"Am I supposed to yell at him in my father's face?!" Itt said back.

"It's because I have respect for your father and mother that I don't punch that bastard and break his face. Do you know that!?" Day yelled back.

"Then why did you try to fight him? He's just trying to get on your nerves. Why are you going crazy over him?" Itt argued back.

"Are you really going to defend him, you Bastard?" Day squeezed Itt's arm tightly with one hand.

"Day... you're hurting me. Damn it. You're always like this. Have you ever listened to me? What the hell? I'm always in the wrong. You always fuss at him and use force on me," Itt yelled at Day, feeling a sharp pain in his arm.

"You dare to raise your voice at me, Itt!" Day said in an angry tone.

"Oh! ...I raised my voice at you. If you're not satisfied, slap me, kick me, or do whatever you want to do. It's your business. I'm so used to the taste of your hands! Oh, and one more thing. This is my house. If you don't respect my father and mother, then go ahead and do it. If you don't want to see their heads, just do it," Itt said in a harsh voice even though his heart was trembling.

Day looked at Itt's face with hard eyes before hitting Itt's shoulder with his own, opening the door, and leaving the room immediately.

Itt stood still, feeling stressed. He didn't think of following Day out anyway. He collapsed and sat at the foot of the bed. His heart wants to follow Day. On the other hand, his heart is so tired that he doesn't want to do anything anymore.

Even though Itt feels this way now, his heart is starting to tear. He can't be far apart from Day, but sometimes it's too tir8ng to have time be the one to give him and keep chasing. Itt sat motionless at the end of the bed for a while.

Crack!

The door opened. The slim figure looked up. He saw that Day had opened the door. Itt made a confused expression.

"What the fuck are you looking at?" Day a asked curtly.

"You're not leaving, are you?" Itt asked.

"Leaving? I went down to buy some cigarettes. What the hell? The dumplings I bought for you, are you going to eat them? They're all cold now, you, see?" Day said as he walked over to the bowl of dumplings that Itt's mother had warmed for him.

"Uh... Did you really leave to go buy some cigarettes?" Itt asked again to be sure.

"Uh... Why?" Day asked back.

"You were very angry with me, just now, weren't you? I thought you were leaving," Itt said again.

"Oh, I'm very angry, but I'll figure it out later how you'll repay me," Day said again, causing Itt to pause.

"Oh, I was really mad but I will punish you more late," said Day causing Itt to freeze.

"I didn't do anything wrong," Itt protested.

"But I have already told you not to go near Pee," Day replied.

"But I had to talk to him about the car," Itt argued.

"That's not all you talked about," Day said again.

"Damn, Day... you're looking for trouble with him," said Itt.

"Who is it that is trying to trouble me? Can't you just stay still? You spread your charm. Otherwise, how could this bastard be following you around like this?" Day said in a harsh voice.

"What the hell is this charm you are talking about... You sound like you're jealous over me," Itt said in reply. Day was silent. Itt looked at Day's face without him noticing.

"Will you eat?" Day didn't answer but asked Itt back.

"I'll eat!!" Itt said loudly before walking over to the chair next to the table where the plate of dumplings was placed and starting to eat.

//Damn. He will not speak. It's so hard for him to say the word, jealous. Hmm, hmm, hmm. // Itt thought irritably in his mind while eating. He froze when Day wrapped his arms around Itt's small shoulders from behind.

Nom!!

"Oh! Damn, Day, that hurts," Itt yelled as Day bit his earlobe so hard that it left a red mark. He quickly pulled away from his ear, but his arms were still embracing Itt from behind as he sat in the chair.

"Don't sound so helpless. It won't phase me in the slightest," Day said in a low voice, causing Itt to freeze.

"I don't understand," Itt said back.

"Come on, idiot," Day said before letting go of Itt and laying down on his bed. Itt looked a little confused but continued eating dumplings while sitting snd thinking to himself.

(He says that I act helpless... helpless... what the hell... it's him that makes me feel helpless.) Itt sits, eats, and thinks with his eyebrows furrowed.

(Or is he... what I had asked before, jealous of me?) Itt thought again before his face turned red.

(Is that right? ...Yes... or no... Ah... I can't figure him out.) Itt raised his hand and rubbed his temples because he couldn't figure out what Day was meaning.

"Are you crazy? You're going to crush your head. Or is your head itching?" Day asked back.

"Um... it's itching," Itt replied.

"The bottom head, or your top head?" Day asked back.

Itt's face instantly turned bright red.

"You're amazing! It's itchy. Upper head. Upper head," Itt said back. Day laughed softly before closing his eyes to rest.

"P' Day," Itt called out in a high-pitched voice.

"What?" Day asked.

"You're much calmer now," Itt said in a low voice.

"So, what?" Day asked back in a calm voice.

"No, I just wanted to say that I like how you are when you're calm like this. You're not as impatient as before," Itt said in an indifferent tone, but he sat with his back to his bed and ate his dumplings.

"Um," Day replied shortly without saying anything else. Itt looked back and saw that the tall figure had fallen asleep. He was breathing in and out regularly.

"What the hell? You fell asleep so early," Itt muttered before hurriedly eating all the dumplings in the bowl. Then he got up, locked the bedroom door, and crawled into bed.

The thin figure moved up to sit on the bed before tucking himself next to Day. He pulled Day's arm to hug him like he always does. Day tightened his embrace, pulling him closer, before Itt fell asleep.

The next day...

"Gear... I'm going to be a little late... nothing! Well... I'm going to clean the house a bit more. I don't want P' Day complaining that I'm going to your house, and I don't take care of my own house. Oh... um... You can call Four to pick me up at 3:00 pm. Um... that's all," Night voice spoke to his lover before hanging up the phone.

Today, Night intends on cleaning his brother's bedroom. Even though Day doesn't want him to do it, Night couldn't help it because he feared Day's room would be dusty.

Besides, Night was determined not to move much. He just wanted to clean it up a bit. The small figure opened the door and entered his brother's room before using a vacuum cleaning on the floor.

"P' Day has a lot of movies. Why don't I take some to Gear's house to watch them," Night muttered as he looked at his brother's pile of DVD movies. Night cleaned the room and sat down, choosing a movie in front of the TV.

"What is this?" Night muttered.

"Hehe. I'm curious if P' Day would have a pornograPeec film in his collection or not," Night said jokingly to himself because he thought his brother didn't have a boyfriend. He finds a clean white DVD before he sits and laughs.

"It's definitely a porn movie. Let's a peek. What kind is it?" Night said jokingly before he put the DVD into the player and turned on the TV. As soon as the screen appeared, Night's brows furrowed together.

"It's a man and another man," Night muttered softly, while increasing the volume.

Suddenly!

The remote in Night's hand immediately fell to the floor as he heard the voices and clearly saw the faces of the two people on the CD clearly.

"Ah...what are you going to do? Don't do it, Day. Hey! Ahhhh... ugh... It hurts!"

The cry of the person Nifht remembers well grew louder.

"Where do you think you're going!?" followed by the voice of the person he loves and respects the most.

"Ahhh... Let me go... please... it hurts... it hurts..." Itt's cries caused Night to shed tears. He looked at the date displayed on the screen which told him when the video was recorded. Night raised his hand to cover his mouth to suppress his sobs because it was the day that Night had went to the pub to get back at Gear, which had been a long time ago.

"W-why... Huh... P' Day... Why are you doing this?" Night said, sobbing over his brother before quickly closing the DVD and slumping onto the floor and crying.
