After the young man heard what the little boy said, he smiled a little.

"Uh... I'm sorry. My nephew doesn't know what he's talking about," Itt said because he didn't know why the little boy spoke up like that.

"It's okay. I understand. You must be very possessive of your Uncle Itt... He's just jealous," Ae said with a smile, but Salmon gave him an awkward look.

"I don't want you to talk to Uncle Itt... I won't let Uncle Itt talk to you," Salmon said to the other party.

"Salmon, this is not cute at all. Who taught you to talk like that?" Itt scolded his nephew a little. Salmon looked at Itt before answering.

"Uncle Day... Uncle Day said that strangers are forbidden from talking to Uncle Itt," Salmon said in a serious tone, causing Itt to pause a moment.

"Uncle Day told me that," the little boy said again.

//When did Day secretly tell him this? // Itt mutters softly under his breath.

"Uh... I just came over to talk to him before a bit. That's okay, isn't it, Nong Salmon?" Ae tried to win over the little boy's heart.

"No!" Salmon said loudly.

"Uncle Itt, swim with me in the pool. Why are you just standing there? Come play with me in the water. You can play with me in the water," Salmon bent his legs and swayed a little while pulling Itt to play with him in the water because Itt was now just standing still in the pool.

"Okay, I will play with you in the water. I'm sorry, Khun Ae," Itt had to turn and apologize to the other party before taking Salmon to play in the pool. The young man named Ae didn't follow him or persist in talking to him. Instead, he chose to swim nearby. Itt knew for sure the other party was most definitely interested in him. He sighed.

(...Only males ever stare at me.) Itt secretly thought to himself.

"Why are you looking at that person?" Salmon said in a quiet voice while swimming and clinging to Itt in the water.

"Who? Who am I looking at?" Itt asked his nephew back.

"That person from just now," Salmon said again.

"I didn't look at him," Itt replied. Itt only glanced over while thinking to himself.

"I will tell Uncle Day," Salmon said earnestly.

"Why... What are you going to complain to him about? I haven't done anything wrong. I was just looking around. We only talked. When did Uncle Day tell you that? Salmon, when did you talk to him about this?" When Itt remembered, he immediately questioned his nephew. Salmon tilted his head slightly before thinking.

"Uncle Day told me when you were taking a shower this morning," Salmon replied to Itt.

"Tell me, what did he say to you? Tell me everything," Itt asked again.

"Uncle Day said... I need to take care of Uncle Itt. Don't let anyone come over and talk to Uncle Itt. Uncle Day said strangers like to flirt with Uncle Itt. They will come and snatch Uncle Itt away from me and Uncle Day. I need to get rid of them all," Salmon said exactly the conversation he had with Day this morning.

"You are thinking too much, Salmon... No one will flirt with me," Itt said to his nephew to get him to stop thinking about what Day said.

"That person from just now," Salmon still believed in what Day had told him.

"Uncle Day lied to you," Itt tried to slander Day for what he said.

"That's not true. Uncle Day wouldn't lie... Uncle Itt, you are mean. How could you lie about Uncle Day?" Salmon said in a sad voice. He looked like he was about to cry.
