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

Chapter 26

"Have you had your breakfast yet, Itt?" Itt's mother asked when she saw her son coming into the house with Day the next morning.

"I have eaten breakfast, mom. Day woke me up to make it early this morning," Itt said with a smiling face.

"Shouldn't the wife be the one getting up to make breakfast for the husband to eat? How can you let your husband go and cook for you two?" Itt's father said jokingly to his son, causing Itt's face to blush bright red.

"Papa! What are you talking about, Papa? What husband? What wife? Wow," Itt yelled to cover up his embarrassment.

"Day, what is wrong with him?" Itt's father asked with a smile.

"If I allowed Itt to cook, there is a strong chance that the condo would burn down, for sure," Day said in a calm tone, causing Itt to scrunch his mouth towards Day in irritation.

"Actually, it should be easy. Try letting him make something simple for you to eat during breakfast," Itt's mother suggested. Itt looked a little confused.

"Hmm, it's best if Itt saves his energy. It would cut into his sleep time," Day said.

"You know me very well," Itt said to his lover in return. Day gave him a slight smile back.

"I'd better go and look after the shop. I don't know what the schedule looks like today," Itt said. He didn't want to be teased again, so he found an excuse to remove himself from the situation. He went to check on the shop immediately.

"Hmm, you seem a bit tired, Day... what does my son even do to help besides working on cars?" Itt's father asked Day with a smile.

"No, he's okay. I'm willing to do everything myself for Itt. As for cooking, he has tried to learn how to cook, but it didn't work out," Day said jokingly, recalling when Itt had Night teach him how to cook at the house. Itt's mother sighs.

"...I can't help wondering what might have happened if Itt didn't meet Day. What type of person would he have ended up with as his life partner?" Itt's mother honestly spoke her mind.

"Well, Papa and Mom, don't you want to have grandchildren?" Day asked curiously.

"In the past, I wanted to have a grandchild. Now, I'm afraid my grandchildren will act like Itt," Itt's father teased. Day could only smile a little before going out to see the shop. Day went to find Itt. He saw that he had put on his work uniform. He stood in front of the staff and was talking to them.

"What are you gossiping about?" Itt asked his lover as Day approached them.

"Gossiping? What are you talking about?" Day answered quietly. Itt wrinkled his nose a little before Day walked inside the office. Itt continued to help the employees inside the shop. After some time had passed, it was almost noon.

Suddenly!

Itt almost fell forward when he felt something hit his back. Then, he felt someone wrap their arms around his neck. He had been crouching down next to a customer's car to help the lead mechanic change a tire. The customer who came in today needed new wheels from their shop.

"Who-?" Itt turned to ask angrily because he was caught off guard.

"Uncle Itt... I am here," the little boy said with a wide smile. Itt immediately froze.

"Hey... Salmon. How did you get here? Let me go so I can get washed up a bit. I am dirty," Itt said. His previous feeling of anger immediately disappeared after seeing his nephew's big round eyes. Salmon removed his arms from Itt's neck.

"I came with mom and dad," Salmon pointed towards Itt's parent's house. Itt nodded in acknowledgment.

"How did you know I was out here?" Itt was still crouched down while asking his nephew again.
