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

Chapter 30

"I haven't finished buying all the items we need. I'll just go and buy the rest by myself. You and Salmon can just sit here and wait for me," Day said.

"I want to go with you," - "Me too," Itt and Salmon said almost in unison. Neither of them wanted to be too far away from Day. Day raised his eyebrow slightly, but this reaction was enough for him to understand what they were both feeling right now.

"Hmm... okay," Day replied before Itt walked hand and hand with Salmon behind Day. They followed him back to their cart to continue shopping. Day pushed the cart through the store.

Salmon was starting to cheer back up. He kept questioning Day and Itt non-stop whenever he saw anything strange.

Day picked up some items and put them into the cart for a while. Day noticed Salmon and Itt were whispering into each other's eyes, so Day turned to look at them with a blank stare.

"What's going on?" Say asked, causing Salmon to rush and hide behind Itt's leg.

"When we left to go talk outside, Salmon saw a toy store. So, he wanted to go over and ask you if we could go there before we leave. Could you stop by and take a look?" Itt asked. Day was silent a moment before slowly nodding his head. This made Salmon smile widely upon hearing this.

"See, I told you that Uncle Day is not mean. If you want something or if you want to go somewhere, Salmon, you can go and ask Uncle Day," Itt told his nephew because Salmon had asked Itt if he would ask Day if they could visit the toy store instead of just asking himself.

"Uncle Day isn't mean?" Salmon asked softly.

"Whst reason would I have had to scold you? Salmon, you didn't do anything wrong. I'll only be fierce if you are stubborn," Day said back in a softer voice than normal. Salmon tilted his head slightly.

"Well, Uncle Itt must be more stubborn than me. I see you like to scold Uncle Itt a lot," Salmon said in his childlike way. Day smiled slightly.

"Very stubborn," Day told him back. Itt wrinkled his nose at his lover slightly before becoming annoyed when Day raised his hand to squeeze his nose.

"Ugh... I can't breathe," Itt quickly brushed Day's hand away. Day shook his head and smiled before continuing to shop with the two. Day looked down at the cart and rearranged the items to see what he was missing. He stopped a moment when he noticed how many bags of snacks were inside the cart.

"Wait... who put 4 bags of Lay's chips in here?" Day asked in a calm voice. Itt and Salmon immediately halted.

"Well... these two bags are mine. The other two bags are Salmons. We wanted to eat different flavors," Itt said, quickly making an excuse.

"And what about these, here, here, and here," Day said as he picked up some other snacks to show them both.

"This is my stuff, and those are Salmon's things. We are different people. Don't you like to eat different things than other people?" Itt made another excuse. Day narrowed his eyes a bit.

"With as many snacks as these, we won't need to go get cake from Nam's bakery. That's good. I won't have to drive there," Day said in a normal manner.

"I won't get them" .... "No," Salmon and Itt said at the same time. This made Day laugh inside when he saw the two of them talking as if they were the same person.

"Then you can go and put some of this back. You don't need all of this. Besides, we aren't in a natural disaster. You don't have to stockpile snacks. If you want to eat something, I'll take you out to buy more snacks again," Day said in a calm voice. Itt and Salmon looked at each other as if to consult on what to do.
