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

Chapter 38

"Uh... am I making you uncomfortable, Itt?" Ball asked politely.

"Oh... no... I just have a few things on my mind," Itt didn't dare be rude to Ball again. He's been so nice to Itt and Nick this whole time. Itt was embarrassed by his previous behavior towards Ball.

"Well? ...I feel like I did something to make you unhappy," Ball said with a smile.

"Ahem... What are you two secretly whispering about?" Nick said jokingly.

"Mine your business. I'm having a good conversation. Shut your mouth," Itt turned to say to his friend.

"Haha. You two seem very close," Ball said with a little chuckle.

"So close that we want to kick each other's ass," Itt said, pushing his friend's head playfully. After that, everyone sat down to eat and talk with each other.

After a while, the sun begins to set, and the stars begin to rise in its place. The sky was so dark that you could see all the stars so clearly.

"I've never seen this many stars in the sky," Itt said to Nick as he laid on the blanket near Ball's friends.

"That's right. Bangkok is full of lights that block out all the starlight," Nick said.

"Itt. Nick... would you like to sing a song?" Kit's asked, causing Nick to sit up.

"Kit plays the guitar. Come on, you bastard, let's go listen to him play," Nick said to his best friend.

//Get out of the way. I'm going to put a curse on you so that Neil will stomp on you," Itt mumbled. Nick turned to look at his friend's behavior before sitting next to the group.

Itt got up and sat next to Nick and across from Ball. Some tourists gathered to talk, some went to sleep, some sat and ate, and others went to walk and enjoy the night air.

"Here's guitar. Damn it. Ball and I will have to take turns playing it," said Kit. Nick smiled while Itt nodded in acknowledgement. Kit played the guitar first. Everyone sang along. They weren't too loud because they didn't want to disturb the other tourists who were resting. After a while, Ball took the guitar to play.

"Ball, what song are you going to play?" Nick asked. Ball smiled slightly before looking at Itt who was sitting still.

"You'll find out soon," Ball said before strumming the guitar. Nick turned to look at Itt, but he didn't show any signs of acknowledgement.

(If someone wants to ask you, would you like to get to know them someday, would the answer be that someone else is on your mind? Everyone seems to like you. I write my feelings down that have been weighing on my heart.)

Ball began to sing with a soft voice. Nick glances at Ball, who is now looking at his best friend, Itt.

(Am I the only one who wants to impress him, too? I dare not say. I can only smile slightly at him, who doesn't care. I will continue to secretly watch you from a distance with this feeling in my heart.)

Itt feels a strange feeling in his heart when he sees the way Ball's eyes are looking at him. Itt doesn't want to think that Ball is singing to him, despite them both being men.

(I will watch him out of the corner of my eye without any expectations. I really like you now. It's a good fortune that someone like me was born to meet you.)

Itt felt his face heat up when he saw Ball was still looking at him. Itt tried to turn his head to look the other way.

(If we were to get closer someday, it might not be good. Something in my heart might stir and will give you a hard time. I'll be floating on air while watching you from the ground. Just seeing you is enough to make me happy. And if one day you are tired of the way this world is and have no one left, please know that I'll always be somewhere in this world.)
