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

Chapter 27

"Uncle Day, I ate all my steak," the little boy turned to tell Day after he had finished eating all his food.

"Then you can order a piece of cake to eat, but I am only allowing you to eat one piece. If you eat too much, you will get a stomachache," Day said firmly, causing Salmon to smile widely.

"I get to eat cake. Do you get to eat cake, Uncle Itt?" Salmon quickly turned to ask Itt.

"Yes, I am eating cake too. Day, order me some cake too," Itt told his lover. Day then called for Nam to take the order. After the cake was served at the table, Itt ate his own cake. Salmon immediately grabbed a spoon and started shoveling into his cake.

"Salmon, your cake looks delicious," Itt said, causing, after seeing Salmon's cake.

"Don't even think about stealing your nephew's cake to eat again. I'm too lazy to have to sit and comfort him," Day said in a murky voice.

"Don't worry about it. I just asked because I wanted to order another piece to eat," Itt said back.

"There's no need in that. Eat the whole piece in front of you first, will you?" Day said, not taking him seriously.

"Then, can I buy a cake to eat back at the condo?" Itt argued back indifferently. Day let out a small sigh.

"Okay, you can order another piece to-go. Eat your cake quickly, then let's get back to work," Day said reluctantly. Itt then smiled broadly before ordering the cake he wanted to eat. He ordered the piece to go so that he could take it back to the condo to eat. After Itt and Salmon were both finished eating, Day brought them back to the shop. At first, Itt intended to leave Salmon with his mother until he had finished working, but it turns out that his mother went out to run some errands with his father.

"Day," Itt walked over to open the door and enter Day's office with Salmon.

"What's going on?" Day asked back.

"Mom and dad are not here. Who is going to take care of Salmon while the two of us work?" Itt asked.

"What do you mean? You can watch him," Day asked back.

"I have to work," Itt said back, not very loudly.

"You do not have to work. We have a lot of mechanics that can keep up with the incoming cars. It is slow right now. You can go take care of Salmon first," Day said. Itt stood and thought for a moment.

"That's fine, but can I stay in your office with him? I'm too lazy to walk back into the house. It's hot," Itt asked. Day thought for a moment.

"As you wish," Day replied before continuing to work. Itt then turned to Salmon.

"Salmon, let's sit and play in this room," Itt said. Salmon smiled.

"Yes," the little boy replied. He went to look inside his bag that was left in the office earlier in the day. Salmon took out a box of Legos from the front pocket. Then, he looked at Day's face a bit. Day also looked at Salmon as if to say, what would he do?

"Uncle Day... could I put my toys here to play?" Salmon asked Day softly because he wanted to play with his Legos.

"You can go play next to the sofa. Don't play in the middle of the office floor if someone comes in to talk to me. This way, it won't get in the way," Day said. Salmon took his toys and sat on the floor next to the sofa where Itt was sitting. After pouring his toys onto the floor, Salmon sits and plays quietly. Day immediately continues to work.

Ding...

Itt's line message alert went off. Itt, who had been sitting and playing games on his phone, was startled a bit. He pressed to open the notification. Day glanced up a little, but he didn't say anything. He continued to work.
