Love Syndrome (Day/Itt) - Book 1 (Authorized English Translation)

Chapter 29

"..." Itt remained silent, refusing to say another word.

"Seriously, if you don't want to be just anyone, what do you want to be with me?" Day asked in a flat tone while staring at Itt's sweet face.

Suddenly...

Itt realized what Day was asking. He froze because he, himself, doesn't know what he wants to be with Day.

"What the hell are you asking?" Itt said, not answering his question.

"I asked the question. You just answer. What the hell are you going to do?" Day said back.

"If you want to ask me, why don't you ask yourself first. What I want to be is not as important as whether you'll accept what I want to be or not," Itt said seriously. Day stared blankly at him before thinking of something.

...

"Uh... Why did you sit on that side, P' Day?" Beam, who walked back, asked. The small figure walked around the table waiting for Day to say something nicely about Itt. But he quickly retreated when his eyes met someone else's. He intended on giving them more time together before coming back.

"No reason. Can't I change seats?" Day turned to Beam. He didn't say anything before looking back at Itt.

"Okay... I was just curious," said the young man. He quickly sat down across from Day.

"What's the matter?" Day asked when he saw Beam's flustered look. It seemed like he couldn't sit still.

"Oh... Nothing... Let's eat," Beam quickly tried to change the subject. Day turned to look at Itt.

// Eat what I put on your plate now. If you don't want to have any trouble when we get back home." // Day warned Itt softly. He looked at Day's face with shifting eyes but didn't say anything. He agreed to eat the food that Day put on his plate, as well. Day smiled with satisfaction.

Beam didn't try to say anything to help either of them, at all, because he was having a similar problem himself. After they finished eating, all three of them walked out of the store.

"P' Day, I'll go back to the shop first. P' Day can take P' Itt for a walk first," Beam said. Day nodded in acknowledgment because Beam had work to do as well. There were quite a few customers today. Day was afraid the others would not close the shop in time because there were not enough staff there to help them.

When Beam left, Day and Itt took a walk to look at the stuff in the store. Day walked a little ahead of him.

"P' Day," Itt called to Day in a low voice.

"What?" Day answered curtly without looking up.

"..." Day kept walking, but he didn't say anything before turning to look at Itt. He found him standing, motionless, behind him. Itt walked towards the front of the mall, causing Day to run after him and pull his slender arm quickly.

"Where are you going?" Day asked. His voice was not loud, but it still sounded fierce.

"Going back to the shop," Itt said in a flat voice, not turning to look at Day.

"What the hell is wrong with you now? If you wanted to come out, I brought you here. Now, you want to go back. Do you think I have a lot of free time?" Day continued to scold him.

"Well, it's because I know you don't have any time to spare. That's why I'm going back to the shop. You don't have to follow me too much because I'm just anyone. You can scold me. You can be fierce towards me. If you want, you can say whatever you want to me. Whatever you want," Itt said in a curt voice. At this time, Itt was feeling more resentful and stubborn.
