"Are you going to see your brother?" Itt immediately asked.

"Er... I'm going back to eat with my brother. I'll be back late at night, so, don't go anywhere without telling me," Day told Itt, causing him to sit with a slightly gloomy face.

"How long will you be gone?" Itt asked again.

"I don't know yet. If you're sleepy, go to sleep. You don't have to wait for me," Day said before getting up.

"Why would I wait for you?" Itt said sarcastically. Day smiled slightly.

"That's right. Why would you have to wait for me? I'm leaving. Take good care of my room, for me, too. When you're done, you should learn how to clean it up for me, Itt," Day said.

"Just now, I heard you tell your little brother that he doesn't have to do much because the house isn't too messy. Isn't that, right?" Itt replied.

"He's, my brother. I don't want my little brother to be too tired," Day said flatly.

"But you want me to be tired? So be it,"

Itt said sarcastically.

"Don't talk back to me. If you don't want to do it, you don't have to. Leave it messed up like this," Day said before walking to door. He opened the door to the room, leaving Itt sitting and pouting in the room alone.

"Damn Bastard, left me alone again. The tiger forbids me to go anywhere else. I'm lonely too," Itt muttered.

Itt senses now that no matter what, Day will always see his younger brother as more important than anyone. This made Itt feel envious of Night. Itt looked around Day's room before deciding to do something.

"P' Day is here," Night's clear voice rang out as he ran to hug his older brother, who was walking into the house.

"What are you doing?" Day asked his brother in a gentle voice.

"I finished preparing P' Day's dinner, Let's go eat first," Night told his brother.

Day took his brother to the kitchen, and they started to eat dinner together. They haven't eaten together in a while. The two talked about college and Gear until they were full. Then, they collected and washed the dishes.

"P' Day, are you sleeping here with me tonight?" asked the young man without thinking, causing Day to freeze with his hands in place.

"I mean..." Day said in hesitation.

"Why don't you sleep here with me together? I have a lot of things I want to talk to you about. We haven't talked in so long. You like to disappear so often. I don't know where you're going. I secretly wonder if you ran away and got a wife without telling me or anyone," Night teased and smiled.

"And why didn't you go to sleep at the hospital with Gear?" Day asked back because, right now, he was thinking of someone else.

"Uh... well..." Night was a little hesitant. Day turned to look at his brother.

WIs there something you want to ask of me?" Day said, putting his brother on the spot. Night washed his hands and quickly hugged his brother's waist implicitly.

"P' Day, don't scold me... It's just that Gear will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. So, I wanted to ask... uh... ask..." Night said in a low voice.

"Me to let you sleep, over there, with him?" Day said again. Night slowly nodded his head respectfully to his brother.

"..." Day was silent and didn't say anything. He just washed the dishes.
