"Give me a moment. I'm going to get some things from home, and I'll be right back," Day said to Fu with a serious expression on his face.

"Oh, don't worry. You don't have to drive so fast," Fu told his friend because he knows how much Day cares for his brother.

Day nodded. He walked over to his brother, who was sleeping on the bed in the special recovery unit, and gently rubbed his head. Day let out a sigh of relief and walked out of the room. Day looked at the clock and realized it was after 11 o'clock. The strong figure pulled out his phone and dialed a number as he walked out into the parking lot.

Ring... Ring... Ring...

The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered. Dark brows furrowed suspiciously before dialing his number again, but the result was the same. No one picked up the other end of the phone.

"Itt, you want to test my patience, don't you?" Day said, gritting his teeth.

Frustration quickly builds because he had been tired from taking Night to the hospital and has been worrying about him. Day drove to his house, dialing Itt's phone the whole way. As usual, the other party did not pick up the phone.

Arriving home, the tall figure took a deep breath to suppress his emotions. He quickly packed the necessary things inside his bag and called his friend.

- ("What's up, Day?") Fu answered the phone.

- "I might come back a little late. Please look after my brother," Day said.

- ("Okay, don't worry") Fu answered before Day hung up. The strong figure didn't hesitate to drive back to his condo. Day walked with a tight grip on his phone until he reached the bedroom, but when he opened the door, Itt was nowhere to be found. Day could almost throw this phone out of anger.

The strong figure sat in the dark room, with dozens of emotions. He intended to sit and wait a while. If Itt didn't come back, Day would have to go back and take care of his brother first.

The sound of the bedroom door opening sounded. Day sees the thin figure in the dark, but Itt seems unaware that Day is watching from the couch.

A thin hand reached out to turn on the light and was startled when he turned to see Day sitting up and looking at him with angry eyes. Itt's legs couldn't move as Day rose toward him.

Itt almost fell when Day slapped him hard across the face and slammed him against the wall across the room.

"What did I tell you?!!! You want to get hurt, right, Itt?" Day yelled.

"What the hell did I do?!" Itt responded and grabbed the cheek that had been slapped.

"Ow!!" The thin figure screamed again when Day grabbed him by his hair, forcing Itt to look up at him.

"How many times have I told you to pick up the phone? I told you, didn't I? Wherever you go, tell me!! So you left here for a drink, right?!" Day yelled at Itt because he reeked from the smell of booze.

"What the hell are you talking about?! My phone hasn't rung. Did you even call me?" Itt screamed, and Day gritted his teeth.

"Pick up the phone and look at it!! You will see how many times I have tried to call you," Day said before using the hand that wasn't pulling Itt's hair to pull his phone out of his pocket and giving a cold smile.

"Do you see how many times I've tried to call you?!" Day handed the phone to Itt. His eyes widened because there were 23 missed calls on the phone, plus the screen showed it had been turned on silent mode.

// Fucking, Nick! Still teasing me. // Itt mumbled because he knew he did not turn the phone on mute.

"What's wrong?!! Are you going to make up any excuses?!" Day screamed again.
