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

Chapter 36 🔞

"Oops. Have you finally figured it out for yourself, my friend?" Nick's message read.

"Don't ask too much about it, okay? Tell me if you're going to help me or not," Itt replied.

"Uh, please, let's wait and talk about this at the university. I'd like to take time to think of a way to do this first," Nick replied.

"Okay," Itt sent one last text before quickly flushing the toilet, pretending to have finished his business in the bathroom before closing the Line app. He kept his phone in his pants pocket. When he opened the bathroom stall, he found Day standing in front of the door.

"What are you doing just standing here? You scared me," Itt said before going to the sink to wash his hands. Day watched him through the mirror.

"Are you done yet?" Day asked.

"I'm finished, but before we go back, can we buy something to eat? I'm hungry," Itt said.

"There's no need to stop. Let's just go back. I'll cook something for you myself. We have groceries in the fridge. If I do cook them, they'll go to waste," Day said in a flat tone. Itt's eyes widened when he heard this.

"You're going to cook a meal for me?" Itt asked, giving Day a wide smile.

"Yeah, or will you cook something for yourself instead?" Day asked back. Itt shook his head.

"No, I won't," Itt said back.

"How did I know you didn't have the skills to cook yourself something to eat? That's why I have to do this myself. Let's go back now," Day said before walking away with Itt trailing behind him.

...

"What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you smiling?" Day asked as he drove back to the condo and noticed Itt was smiling widely the whole time.

"No, I'm just thinking about if you've ever cooked something for me to eat or not," Itt said. Day remained silent. When they got back to the condo, Day immediately went into the kitchen.

"You can take a shower while I cook," Day said.

"I don't have to take a shower yet, do I?" Itt asked. Day immediately turned to look at him.

"I want to help you cook. Teach me how to do it," Itt quickly said because he was afraid Day would yell at him.

"You want to help me? Are you going to come and wear me out some more?" Day said. Itt's smile dropped when he heard this.

"Yes, you can help. You can help me a lot," Day grumbled, making Itt smile again.

"So, what do you want me to do?" Itt asked immediately.

"Go make some rice. Bring the rice cooker over here and put 3 cups of rice into it. The box of rice is by the fridge," Day said.

"You will need to wash the rice first," Day said when he saw Itt trying to put the rice in the pot. Day picked up some ingredients out of the fridge.

"What do you mean?" Itt asked Day in confusion. Day wanted to bash his forehead against the wall when he heard Itt ask this.

"Itt, you don't even know how to cook rice. You must wash it. Use water to rinse it before putting it into the pot.

"Oh..." Itt replied before quickly doing as Day said. The tall figure prepared the fresh ingredients as he watched Itt carefully. He was afraid Itt would make a mistake.

"What are you making to eat?" Itt asked.

"Stir-fried sweet and sour chicken with boiled, unsalted seaweed, and mackerel Chu-Chee. Those three things should be enough. It's a lot of food," Day said.
