Itt's face fell slightly lost when he heard Salmon say that. He was feeling embarrassed for the girl.

"Are you saying that Aunt Meen isn't pretty?" Itt asked again. Salmon nodded his head, just as before. Itt turned and gave Meen a sympathetic smile.

"Sorry, Meen," Itt said back.

"It's okay. I understand. Salmon is still young," said the woman. She smiled even though she was feeling embarrassed. Day could only sit back with his arms crossed and a slight smile on his face. Itt saw this and sent a fierce glare his way. Day let out a small sigh.

"Why is Nam prettier?" Day asked his nephew.

"Aunt Nam makes me delicious cakes. That's why she is so pretty," the little boy replied honestly. Itt couldn't help but give him an affectionate smile.

"This is normal for children. When they get to know someone and become close, they will say that person is beautiful because they see that person as good. It's not strange for Salmon to say that Nam is more beautiful because he does not know Meen," Day said casually. Itt smiled because he knew Day was trying to make the girl feel better.

"You shouldn't take the words of a child so seriously," Day didn't hesitate to tease the girl a little with his last sentence.

"Day," Itt scolded his lover. Day sat still. He didn't say anything further.

"Meen," a girl's voice called out.

"Uh... my friend is here now. I will excuse myself to sit with her, Itt," the girl said to Itt.

"Oh... Hmm," It answered.

"I'm sorry, P' Day," the young woman turned to apologize to Day politely.

"It's fine," Day replied. The girl quickly got up and sat down with her friend. Itt turned and looked at Day with an angry expression.

"Don't say things like that in front of her, Day. You say that I act like a child, but you act the same way," Itt said to his lover.

"Well, do you think anyone would like for their partner to talk to their ex?" Day asked in a low voice.

"When I talk to Kim, do you like it?" Day asked.

"No, but I don't act like that," Itt replied in a low voice.

"Well, I don't like for there to be any confusion," Day replied again. Day admits that he is being very selfish. Maybe more than he expected. If there is anyone trying to take Itt's attention away from Day, Day will make it known that Itt belongs to him. He is willing to do anything. He doesn't care how speechless Itt would become. Day will not hold back even if his lover were to overhear what he says. It feels good to have Itt all to himself.

"Speaking of P' Kim, how is he now?" Itt asked thoughtfully.

"He's okay. If he behaves and doesn't betray Kamol, he will be fine," Day said nonchalantly.

"Aren't you worried about P' Kim, Day?" Itt wanted to know what Day was thinking.

"Why would I be worried?" Day asked in response to this, as if he didn't care about his ex-lover. Itt smiled because this response was enough for him to understand Day's feelings.

"Uncle Itt...my ice cream is melting," Salmon's voice sounded, causing Itt to laugh lightly. He was so busy talking to Day that he completely forgot to finish feeding Salmon his ice cream.

...

"Have you picked which one you wanted yet?" Day asked Salmon, who was picking out a sand bucket in the toy sections.
