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

Chapter 40

("Is this Itt's number?" Ball asked, sounding uncertain when he heard an unfamiliar voice answer his voice.

"Yes... are you calling to flirt with my Uncle Itt?" Salmon immediately asked, causing Ball to pause. He thought he was being teased by someone on Itt and Day's side.

("No, I didn't call to flirt with him. Who am I speaking with?") Ball replied politely. He knew the other party must have been a little boy because of the way he was speaking and the sound of his voice.

"Salmon speaking, haha," replied the little boy.

("Salmon, are you with your Uncle Itt... Could I talk to Uncle Itt?") Ball slowly conversed with Salmon.

"I won't let you talk to him. I know that you will flirt with Uncle Itt... I won't let you flirt," The little boy continued to insist on his previous statement.

"Day..." Itt called out to his lover in a low voice because he pitied Ball. Day made an innocent expression while continuing to drive. Itt then turned to back to Salmon.

"Salmon...give me my phone," Itt said. Ball, who was on the other end of the line, could hear him. It was easy enough for him to figure out that the child he was speaking to was Itt's nephew.

"No, you can't have it... don't take it," The little boy turned his body and leaned backed in the car seat awkwardly. He was refusing to give the phone to Itt, but he also refused to hang up on the other party as well.

"Salmon, don't be stubborn. The person who called me is my friend..." Itt explained when he saw that Day was not going to intervene.

"Are you Uncle Itt's friend?" Salmon asked the person on the other end of the line.

("Yes,") Ball replied.

"I don't believe you, so I won't let you talk to him," the boy still believed the own thoughts in his head.

"Day, please talk to Salmon," Itt turned to ask Day for help, but Day remained silent. Deep down, Day was smiling on the inside. After seeing Day wasn't going to help, Itt reached back and snatched the phone from Salmon's hands.

"Don't be stubborn. If you are, then you don't love me," Itt tried to say in a fierce voice. Salmon, who is frightened by the phone being snatched, sat with a frown on his face. He slumps over into the seat, feeling hurt over Itt's words.

"You will have to fix things with him yourself. I won't help you," Day said nonchalantly. Itt frowned before speaking to Ball.

"Hey, Ball. Sorry. Just now, that was my nephew," Itt explained.

("Yes...It looks like your nephew is possessive of you,") Ball replied with a light chuckle.

"Yes... someone around here is teaching him this," Itt spoke sarcastically about his lover's ways because he didn't like them. Day didn't scold him or comment on what he said.

"Oh, by the way, did you have something to talk to me about, Ball?" Itt asked to find out what business Ball had with him.

("I just wanted to bring my friend to the shop to have a new stereo system installed. I called to ask if you were going to be there, so that you could recommend a sound system for him,") Ball said.

"Oh... I'm sorry, Ball. Day is taking me and my nephew on a trip out of the province. It'll be another 3 or 4 days before I'll be back. You can go ahead and bring your friend to the shop. There are many skilled mechanics there. Have him talk to one of them. When you get there, call me. I'll speak with the mechanics," Itt said.

("Are you going on a trip? You didn't even invite me, at all.") Ball said, causing Itt to become a little disconcerted.

"Well..." Itt didn't know what to say. His eyes shifted over to his lover, who was sitting quietly.
