Daniel & Ivan (Love Syndrome)

SPECIAL CHAPTER - 2

When the deadline to remove the chains for three days arrived, Ivan prepared to take Danil on a trip to China to visit Puma. He had already contacted Puma, saying that he would take Danil to visit him. Puma, for his part, prepared accommodations, as he currently ran a Chinese-style resort catering to tea-loving tourists.

Puma was willing to close the resort exclusively for Ivan's group, as he and Danil would have to be accompanied by several security guards.

Initially, Danil called to invite Luka, but Dylan didn't allow him to go because he was busy with work and didn't want to be alone. So Luka refused, and Danil ended up going with Ivan alone.

The two went down from the room to get ready to go to the airport, but before they even left the house, Dema showed up for an unexpected visit.

"Uncle Dema!" Danil ran to hug him with longing, since they hadn't seen each other for almost half a year.

"So, little brat! Where are you going?" asked Dema, curious.

"I'm going to take Danil to visit an acquaintance's tea plantation in China," Ivan replied.

"Take me too!" Dema suddenly demanded.

"If uncle doesn't have any

commitment, you can come with us." said Ivan, aware that his uncle loved to travel and usually had no problems in

conform.

"That's right, uncle! Uncle will love that place!" added Danil excitedly.

"Then just give me one

little time. I'm going to the big house

"I'll pack my things and meet you at the airport." Dema said. Ivan nodded in agreement, since the plane was private and the takeoff time could be adjusted.

Without wasting any time, Dema went back to get ready, while Ivan took Danil straight to the airport to wait.

"Why do you have marks

like this?" Dema's voice sounded when the plane was already in the air.

They were sitting talking, and Dema noticed marks on

Danil's neck and wrists. Soon after, he looked directly at his nephew, Ivan, as he knew very well what it was about.

"Don't blame Ivan, please. We were just playing something a little different." Danil said with a slight smile. Dema looked at him, visibly surprised.

"Are you sure there wasn't something forced?" Dema asked insistently.

"I sure do!" Danil replied promptly.

"Okay then," Dema replied, relieved. He knew it was

a question between the two, but he felt it necessary to ask to make sure. Ivan gave a discreet smile, but said nothing.

"By the way, won't you get bored, uncle? There's not much movement there, it's basically a plantation of

tea." asked Ivan, changing

subject.

"I'm already at that age, do you think I still care about fanfare?

Most of the time I disappear, it's to connect

with nature," Dema replied. This reassured Ivan, who was more certain that his uncle

would enjoy the trip. As for Danil, as long as there were activities to do, he didn't mind.

"But who is this Puma?" Dema asked, genuinely curious. Ivan glanced briefly for Danil.

"Puma worked at the FS club. Ivan used to be a regular customer of his for a while," Danil explained directly, without beating around the bush, considering it a normal thing.
