Love Syndrome (Day/Itt) - Book 2 (Authorized English Translation)

Chapter 4

Suddenly!

A strong hand grabbed Day's neck from behind. Day immediately grabbed the person's wrist and twisted it with all his strength.

"Still quick with your reflexes as before, you bastard," said a deep voice sounded from the other party.

"P' Khom!" Day immediately released the other party's wrist. He raised both his hands to greet the man before getting up to hug him. The tall figure patted Day on his shoulder before breaking away.

"I wasn't expecting to see you here," Khom said. Itt gave a confused look to the person who was speaking with his lover.

"Who did you come with?" Day asked, turning to look at the table inside. Day then turned to look at Khom.

"Come on. Do you want to talk to him?" Khom said. Day nodded in agreement before turning to face Itt and their friends.

"Wait a minute. I'll be back," Day said. Itt immediately grabbed Day's arm.

"Where are you going?" Itt asked.

"I'm going to say hi to an old acquaintance. I'll be back in a minute," Day said. Itt frowned. Day smiled slightly before gently rubbing Itt's head.

"Don't eat it all. Wait for me," Day said. He immediately followed Khom.

"Who is that, Neil?" Itt quickly turned to ask Neil before he thought he would know.

"I'm not sure. He looks familiar. I think we went to high school with him," Neil said. Itt turned to look at Day with a worried expression. The person he was with looked scary. He was dressed in all black, like he was part of the mafia.

...

"Hello, Khun," Day greeted a man, looking to be in his late 30s. He looked a bit intimidating, sitting with the other two men who were also wearing all black.

"Sit down," the other man said while smiling slightly. Day sat down, opposite the person he called Khun.

"Long time, no see," the other party said.

"Hmm... Have you been doing, okay?" Day asked back.

"Well, at this age, how could I be as strong as a younger man?" the other party said with a light chuckle. Day smiled a little. Although the other party had said this, Day could still tell by his body that he was still strong.

"Day is still just as brutal as ever. Just wrist, he twisted my wrist and almost broke it," Khom said with a light laugh.

"Well, it's been a while, but I'm still as sharp, P' Khom," Day said, smiling back. The other two men just sat there without saying anything. Day was not familiar with their two faces. They look younger than Day.

"Seeing you like this, I really want to ask you to come back to work with me," said the other person, who Day had called Khun.

"I've put that kind of life behind me, Khun," Day said bluntly.

"I know, but it's pity for someone as skilled as you to do. Honestly, don't you want to come back and work for me again?" the other party asked in a serious tone.

"Thank you very much for still believing in me, but I really can't go back to that kind of work," Day said.

"Why? Are you still worried about your brother?" asked the other.

"That's part of the result," Day said before thinking about the face of his lover.

"But now, I have another person to look after. They probably wouldn't allow me to risk my life for my job," Day said back, thinking about Itt's face. He knew, well in advance, that if he asked Itt if he could do this line of work again, Itt would not stop cursing him.
