"Day, do you want to eat some ice cream with me?" Itt opened the door to Day's office and asked.

"What flavor ice cream?" Day asked back.

"Old-fashioned coconut milk ice-cream. Have you ever tried it with a sticky rice bun before? There's a street vendor selling some nearby," Itt said.

"No, but you can get some," Day said. Itt closed the door and went over to buy some ice cream from the street vendor in front of the shop.

Knock, knock...

A light knock sounded on Day's car window. He reached over and rolled his window down.

"What is it?" Day asked one of the young employees who had knocked on his window.

"Hia Day, it's P' Itt. He's talking to a girl," said the employee from the shop before immediately running away. Day smiled slightly before getting out of his car. He walked past the office to the front of the shop. There was a street cart part out front, serving ice cream. A group of the shop employees were all gathered to buy some ice cream.

Since school had ended for the dsy, high school students from the private school nearby were passing through the area. The younger employees were having fun teasing each other about the girls. Day's lover, Itt, was standing there laughing as he initiated the teasing.

"Look at her. Short skirt, long hair, slender legs, slender figure, and pretty face," Itt nudged his subordinates to get them to look at the female students passing by.

"Are you interested in having the shop owner's son escort you home, Nong?" Chok asked jokingly. Itt laughed before eating the ice cream in his hand.

"And are you interested in giving the shop owner's son-in-law reason to escort you home? Hmm?" a deep voice rang out from behind him, making Itt's subordinates immediately stop.

"Haha... Do you want to eat some ice cream?" Itt turned to Day and tried to offer him the ice cream he was holding. Day smiled slightly. Itt turned to stare at his subordinate, who had run back into the shop, leaving Itt standing alone.

"You only asked me if I wanted to eat some ice cream because you are trying to see if I'll yell at you or not. Am I right?" Day asked quietly.

"No!! I was just asking you if you wanted to eat some ice cream," Itt denied in a high-pitched voice. Day walked over and wrapped his arm around Itt's neck while giving him a cold smile. Itt swallowed his saliva slowly.

"Wouldn't it be better for you to come inside and sit in the office? It's hot outside," Day said before locking Itt's next and pulling him towards the office. Itt looked at his subordinates, who were holding their hands together apologetically from a distance, before Day led Itt into the office.

"Let me go. I want to eat the rest of my ice cream," Itt said, fearing his ice cream would completely melt in his hand.

"Would you like some of my cream? Hmm?" Day asked quietly.

"Bad, Day! You're so perverted," Itt shouted, feeling his face heat up. Day released Itt's neck. This was good because Itt could breathe a little easier. Day sat down and went back to working quietly. He didn't say anything else to Itt as he ate his ice cream. Occasionally, Itt would glance up at Day a bit before dragging a chair over to sit next to him.

"..." Day remained silent.

"Hey, Day... are you angry with me?" Itt asked. He thought Day must certainly be angry with him. He was refusing to speak to Itt. Day turned to look at Itt a moment before sighing heavily.

"Say something. You're too quiet. How will I know what you're thinking? Are you learning how to be sensitive now instead of me?" Itt yelled a little.

"Sit and be quiet. I'm trying to work," Day said calmly, causing Itt to sit and pout.
