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

Chapter 18

"Will you lie to me next time?" Day asked. Itt shook his head against Day's shoulder, which was wet from Itt's tears.

"I want to hear your answer," Day said again.

"Hmm.... I won't lie to you anymore," Itt said in a sob.

"Well, that's good. You shouldn't lie to me again. Do you know how hurt I felt when I found out you were lying to me? Do you realize how much I trusted you? When you trust someone and they break that trust, do you know much pain that causes?" Day continued to express his feelings to Itt for him to understand.

"Ai Day, I am sorry," Itt cried out. The more he heard about how he made Day feel, the more he realized how wrong his actions were.

"Imagine if the roles were reversed. What if I lie to you and destroy your trust in me? How would you feel?" Day asked again. Itt kept shaking his head.

"Huh... I won't lie to you anymore...Please don't lie to me either," Itt sobbed because he understood what Day meant.

"If you make this mistake again, what am I supposed to do with you, Itt?" Day asked, but Itt didn't answer.

"If you make another mistake, wouldn't it be best for us to separate? Then I wouldn't have to keep on giving you orders. You would be able to do whatever you want. You would be more comfortable... Is that what you desire?" Day tried to ask. Itt immediately looked up. His eyes were swollen, and his face was covered with tears.

Pew... Pluk!

"Huh... Day! ...You're going to leave me, right? ...huh...you don't want to be with me anymore, right? ...huh..." Itt cried and beat Day's chest until Day had to grab both of his hands to stop him.

"Itt, stop!" Day said fiercely, causing Itt to freeze before sobbing again.

"You, come here...When did I say that I was going to leave you...huh?" Day said before resting Itt's head on his shoulder.

"Huhhhhhh... I will tell my father... that you will leave me," Itt sobbed to Day. Day sighed heavily.

"...having a wife like you is like raising a child. Why can't you be as good at being with me as you are racing a car on the racetrack?" Day said jokingly. Itt continues to cry non-stop over what Day had said. Itt outright admits that he is an emotion wreck right now. Just hearing Day say those words has made Itt so sad that he's crying like a baby and will probably do so many times more.

"I'm sorry...forgive me," Itt said again.

"No, there's no point in saying this. You've already apologized a lot. Your apology doesn't mean anything if you don't try to improve yourself... If you really want to apologize to me, then listen to me sometimes. Don't be so stubborn about it," Day tried to explain before letting Itt cry for a while. He let Itt cry until he felt relieved.

"Day," Itt called Day's name in a low voice.

"What?" Day responded.

"Can I wear pants? ...I don't want to stay like this," Itt said again. Day smiled slightly.

"Fine," Day said before making Itt sit down on the bed. Ge got up and went to fetch Itt a pair of underwear and shirts. Day unlocked the chain from Itt's ankle. Itt got up and put his pants on immediately. He was startled when Day grabbed his ankle and put the chain back on him.

"Day... no, I don't want to wear these chains anymore," Itt said in a trembling voice. Day looked up fiercely.

"You are still in your probationary period, Itt," Day said in a fierce tone.

"Then...when will it be taken off?" Itt asked again while watching Day lock the chain around his ankle.

"Whenever I want to take it off, I'll take it off," Day said in a calm voice. Itt sits and hunches over.
