"Day, are you crazy? It happened when I first started high school. Also, the taxi driver has already been arrested by the police. I don't know how many years it's been, but he's not getting out," Itt said. Day looked at Itt through the computer screen.

"It's been a long time ago, hasn't it?" Day asked angrily, and Itt nodded.

"If it's been a long time, why are you still afraid? And what happens when you have an urgent matter and need to take a taxi alone? What are you going to do then?" Day said in a deep voice.

"I'm not going to," Itt replied without hesitation. Day let out a small sigh.

"And what if I'm going to die and call you to come find me, but you don't have a car? The only way to get to me is by taxi. Would you come see me?" Day asked again, stunning Itt. He contemplated what Day had said.

"Well... I... uh," Itt didn't know how to answer.

"Oh, never mind. Let's just change the subject before I get frustrated," Day said, brushing aside the subject with a straight face. Then, he picked up a cigarette and lit it.

"Are you angry with me?" Itt asked softly.

"No... just annoyed that my wife is such a coward," Day said, making Itt blush despite being insulted.

"So, has that bastard gone back yet?" Day asked again.

"He went home," Itt replied, but he didn't tell Day what he had talked to Pee about because he was afraid that Day would get angry again.

"Day, can I come see you tomorrow?" Itt asked hesitantly.

"Your father will get angry if you do. If you don't have classes tomorrow, stay at home," Day said, causing Itt to pout because Day was acting very cold towards him.

"I'll just tell my father that I have classes. In the evening, I will drive back home," Itt said back.

"No, I have something to do tomorrow," Day said in a flat voice because he had already planned on what he would do tomorrow.

"Where are you going? I'll go with you," Itt cried.

"Itt, you are not a child. You don't have to tag along," Day said. Itt frowned when he heard this.

"Oh! I won't go. I won't go anywhere. I will stay in my room at home. I won't even go out to see the sun or the moon," Itt said sarcastically. Day shook his head slightly.

"The weaker you are, the more impulsive you are. If you were here with me, I would slap you," Day threatened.

"Of course, you would. Come slap me now. I want you to stand here and slap me. You can slap me as many times as you want. Just... let me go with you," Itt said in a soft voice. Day understood the meaning of the words that Itt was trying to convey to him.

"Don't worry. I will do more than slap you," Day said. Itt didn't look at Day. Day let out another sigh.

"... I'll go and get rid of the bastard who leaked the pictures of you and me tomorrow," Day said grudgingly. Itt immediately looked up.

"Do you know the person who gave the pictures to my father? Who is it?" Itt asked curiously because he doesn't really know who sent the pictures.

"You don't need to know. Let's just say, if you want me to pick you up quickly, let me get these things sorted out as soon as possible. When the deal with the devil is done, I'll deal with your father next," Day said in a serious tone.

"You say it like you're going to kill my father. Well, why can't you let me go with you?" Itt asked again.

"I don't know what to say. If you come with me, I'm just going to worry about you. What can you do about this?" Day said, warming Itt's heart, despite not saying gentle words at all.
