"Yeah," Day replied.

"Why? Do you want to come back and sleep there with me?" Day asked.

"I'm tired. I want to ask if I can sleep at my house," Itt quickly said back. Day smiled slightly.

"Uh, you can sleep here. I will be back soon," Day said again.

"What about tomorrow?" Itt asked as Day pulled his arm out of Itt's hand, causing him to stop massaging Day's arm.

"Tomorrow is a holiday. Just wait here at your house. There's no need for you to go anywhere. I will come pick you up in the evening," Day said in a calm voice. Itt looks at Day, who was sliding out of the bed. He felt a strange feeling in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

"What's wrong?" Day asked in a low voice before stopping at the foot of the bed when he turned and saw Itt's sad expression.

"Well... nothing is wrong. I'll walk downstairs with you to send you off," Itt said, sliding out of the bed.

"Stay home, and don't even bother trying to flirt with that bastard again. Otherwise, I'll kill both of you," Day said nonchalantly.

"Fuck, what's wrong with you? You talk like a maniac all the time," Itt yelled back before leading Day down the stairs. Itt's parents were sitting in the living room. Day went to say bye to them to show respect.

"Have you eaten anything yet, Day? Do you want to eat something here? I'll get someone to prepare a meal for you," Itt's mother asked.

"No, that's okay. I'd better leave and get me something to eat. I don't want to bother you. It's already late. I just came to say goodbye before leaving," Day said to Itt's parents and raised his hands to pay respect before walking out to the car with Itt.

"When you're around adults, he's as different as the sky and the abyss," Itt couldn't help but say about Day.

"I'm not an idiot who doesn't know what I should and shouldn't do," Day said flatly as he opened his car door. Itt's shop was now closed, so there was no one in front of the shop. There were a few other buildings nearby, but there was no one around to see them.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll tell my mom and dad about what you did to me?" Itt tried asking. Day stared at Itt with his eyebrows raised.

"If you were going to tell them, you would have told them after the first day I took you. You wouldn't have let me to walk in and out of your house, like this, Itt," Day said like he had all the cards in his favor.

Itt froze because what Day had said was true. Day reached out and gently squeezed the back of Itt's neck and drew his closer to himself.

"If I had to guess, right now, you don't want to do anything to me over what I did to you, right?" Day asked back, causing Itt to start blushing and become nervous. When Day spoke like this, his heart felt strange.

"Says who? Who says I'm not waiting for the right time to get my revenge?" Itt said out loud to hide how he's feeling.

"Huh? When people take revenge or want to take revenge, do they tell people something like this in advance? Is that right? You should know this," Day said, making Itt feel more embarrassed before he often says things to dig a hole and bury himself.

"You talk a lot. You can go back now," As always, Itt chased the tall figure away, to cover up his shyness. Day knows this all too well.

The tall figure opened the door and sat down. Itt stood next to the driver side door, but Day didn't close the door yet.

"I'm going back," Day said slowly. Itt raised his eyebrows in confusion.

"Um... then go back," Itt said. Day looked up at Itt who was still standing there.
