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

Nick & Neil - Special Chapter 9

"Why do you think that?" Nick asked curiously.

"Intuition" Neil said softly.

"Aren't you thinking too much?" Nick was still optimistic.

"What if what I think is true?" Neil asked back, causing Nick to freeze a little and start thinking as the lover suspects.

"Who do you think would want to hurt me?" Nick asked curiously, wanting to know who Neil suspected.

"I don't know, but I need to know. If it really is what I think, I don't know what to do" said Neil in a serious tone. Nick was silent on that matter and didn't say anything else until Neil finished cleaning. Neil carried it out and put it on the table while Neil's mother prepared him the food.

"Hurry up and sit down, Neil. The water is already boiling" said Neil's mother to her son, who had just carried off his lover.

"Mom, you had to prepare everything yourself?" Nick said softly with regret.

"It's okay, it wasn't too much," Mom said with a smile, before putting the vegetables and fresh stuff into the sukiyaki pot. Neil constantly poured Nick's bowl.

"Neil eat some, I can eat myself' said Nick, seeing that Neil was just getting it for him and he rarely eats.

"Don't talk too much, let's eat so you grow up fast" Neil said with a smile. But his eyes didn't smile. Nick knows his lover is on to something. Nick uses chopsticks to hold the octopus in the pot and shove it into Neil's mouth. This caused Neil to stop for a moment and turn to look at Nick.

"I will feed you, eat," said Nick.

"No" Neil replied, making Nick frown.

"Why don't you eat? Feed yourself.," said Nick.

"You just took it from the pot and put it in my mouth. It's hot," Neil said back, reminding Nick.

"Oops...I forgot; can you blame me?" Nick blew the octopus to cool off before feeding Neil again. This time the tall figure ate without complaint, Neil, Nick, and the mother were sitting and eating together, while talking for a while. After they finished their meal, Neil offered to clean up, leaving his mother to rest. Nick was carried back to the bedroom.

"Take the medicine," said Neil, handing his lover the medicine and water. Nick accepted easily.

"Go to sleep first, I'll get my stuff first," said Neil.

"Come quick, I miss you," Nick said with a smile.

Neil shook his head at his lover's impudence, before leaving the room, holding the glass of water, Nick then slowly moved to lie down and waited for his lover to return. After a while, Nick fell asleep and regained consciousness, when he heard Neil talking on the phone in the living room.

"Hmm...check it out for me...I want to know ASAP.... Hmm...thanks a lot...that's all" Neil finished, before hanging up

"Who are you talking to?" Nick asked in a hushed tone, causing Neil to turn and look before going to sit on the bed next to his lover.

"Talking to a friend, he'll find out about the car's registration. So how are you, Shorty? Does the wound hurt, or does it hurt somewhere?" Neil asked about his lover's condition. Helping Nick to sit up.

"Hmm..., now it's starting to throb, it's starting to hurt, Neil," said Nick, the pain following the bruises as he fell,

"Tomorrow might be even more sore, wouldn't it be nice if you took some antibiotics?" said Neil, looking at the scar on his lover's leg. When he saw him, he felt resentment towards the person who made Nick's leg look like that.
