Love Syndrome (Day/Itt) - Book 2 (Authorized English Translation)

Chapter 7

"Why is that... I just..." The young man tried to beg Day again.

"Jumper..." Day called his name quietly, causing Jumper to immediately stop talking.

"Okay... then, can I come see you tomorrow?" The young man clung to Day's arm and asked. Day nodded. The young man's smile widened as Itt frowned.

"Thank you," After he finished speaking, Jumper lifted his face up and kissed Day's cheeks. Itt glares at the scene before him before fleeing into the bedroom to calm down. Otherwise, Itt would have hit Jumper in front of Jim.

"Jumper, let's go back now," Jim saw his bad behavior, so he pulled his brother's arm to move him away from Day.

"Go wait for me in front of the room," Jim chased Jumper out of the room before turning to Day.

"Please excuse him. I tried to call you first, but I couldn't get ahold of you," Jim said to let Day know that he tried to call. Truthfully, he did many times because he wanted to warn Day that Jumper had come to Thailand.

"Hmm, it's fine," Day replied. Jim looked towards the bedroom with a worried expression on his face.

"Don't you see Nong Itt? He's really upset with him," Jim said in a stressed voice.

"Don't think too much about that. I'll handle him myself. You just take Jumper home," Day said because he was understanding of Jim's feelings, as well. Jim nodded before walking towards the front door. Jim was standing outside, smiling sweetly while waiting.

"Tomorrow, I will come see you, P' Day," the young man said cheerfully.

"Hmm... uh... Jumper," Day called out to the young man. Jumper turned around with a wide smile.

"Hmm," the young man replied immediately. He thought Day had changed his mind and would allow him to stay the night.

"From now on, don't kiss my cheek like you did in front of Itt again. I know that it's a greeting, but you are in Thailand now. If you see me, raise your hands to pay respect, okay?" Day said in a quiet voice. Jumper froze. His smile turned into a slight frown.

"Okay," the young man replied politely. He didn't want to be too stubborn with Day.

"We will go back now," Jim said goodbye before immediately dragging his brother away, by the arm. Day closed the door and let out a light sigh. He was now about to have to deal with another person who had escaped to the room because he was unhappy. Day walked back towards the bedroom. When he opened the door, he found Itt was lying on the bed, watching TV. He was holding the remote in his hand while repeatedly flipping through the channels.

"If you keep pressing the button, like that, you're going to break the remote," Day's voice came out. Itt, then, turns the TV off, places the remote at the head of the bed, and lies down with his back facing Day without saying a word. Day looked at his lover's back before walking over to sit on the bed. A strong hand softly strokes Itt's soft hair.

"Your hair is still wet. Why didn't you use a towel to dry it? You're going to get sick," Day said softly before getting to to grab a towel and returning to Itt.

"Get up. Let me dry your hair, Itt," Day called out to his lover, but Itt wouldn't budge.

"Itt, don't make me repeat myself," Day said fiercely. Itt huffy before sitting up with a sullen expression. Day sat behind him and used a towel to wipe his hair.

"What are you thinking? Jumper is just a kid... if you don't play with him, nothing will happen," Day said. Itt sat still. How could this not make him think too much? Even though Jumper is younger than Brock, he is petite and is cute like a girl. Even so, he likes to plead with Day. So, Itt couldn't help but feel insecure. He was afraid Day would become soft towards Jumper someday.
