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

Chapter 42

"Oh, has Salmon fallen asleep yet?" Day asked as soon as he remembered.

"Hmm. He is asleep. If Salmon were to find out that you snuck out to smoke, I’m sure he would be upset with you for a long time,” Itt brought his nephew’s name up as a threat to Day.

"It’s more likely that you will be the upset one," Day said knowingly.

"Well, is it worth it? Why did you say you wouldn't smoke on our trip? Also, didn’t you tell me you would reduce the number of cigarettes you smoke so that it wouldn’t be an issue?” Itt asked in a series.

"I was thinking of you. That’s why I kept smoking,” Day said.

“Why were you thinking of me?” Itt asked in response.

"I was thinking about the fact that you were upset with me when I was in the room with you," Day said. Itt raised his eyebrow in confusion.

"Were you honestly thinking about me?" Itt asked again. Day sat and looked at Itt’s face.

"Well, do you want me to think about someone else?" Day asked back, making Itt smile a bit.

"It’s not that serious," Itt said in a soft voice, shyly looking the other direction. Day smirked slightly.

“Let’s go get some sleep, or we won’t have energy to go snorkeling tomorrow," Day said before pushing Itt off his lap for them to walk into the room.

"Uncle Day, Uncle Itt, wake up. It’s early," the little boy's voice shouted as he scrambled on the bed. Salmon got up and jumped on the bed to wake Day and Itt.

"Hmm... Salmon. Don't jump on the bed," Itt said as he got up to pull Salmon to lie back down beside him before hugging him.

“Ugh. Uncle Itt, wake up… Uncle Day, wake up. I want to go snorkeling,” Salmon said again.

“Children have too much energy," Itt said with a smile. He turned to look at his lover. Day was still asleep.

"Salmon, Uncle Day hasn't woken up yet. Wake him up quickly," Itt said with a smile. Salmon then rolls over Itt’s body to Day.

Poke. Poke. Poke.

Salmon’s tiny finger pokes Day’s cheek lightly.

"Uncle Day, wake up...it's morning…wake up," Salmon’s voice chirped until Day opened his eyes and slowly looked up. He found Salmon lying on his side of the bed, grinning widely.

“If you two are awake, why haven’t you started taking your showers yet?” Day asked, sounding a little sleepy.

“Uncle Itt, let’s go take a shower,” After hearing what Day said, Salmon quickly turned to ask Itt immediately because he wanted to leave soon.

“Okay, Day, you can rest a little while longer. Once Salmon and I are done taking our showers, I’ll come and wake you back up,” Itt said because he was worried that his lover would be exhausted.

"Hmm," Day responded before Itt and Salmon got out of bed to take a shower. Day fell back asleep for a little while longer. After Itt and Salmon took a shower, they immediately woke Day up to take his shower and got dressed.

"Let’s eat at the hotel first. I have already called and reserved a boat for us to dive privately. This way, we won’t have to be on a boat with other people," Day said because he is the type of person who doesn't like to deal with too much drama.

"I feel like this trip is going to be exhausting,” Itt teased his lover with a smile before they all took a walk to have breakfast at the hotel's restaurant. After eating breakfast, Day called to locate the boat he rented for them to snorkel. Before hearing to wait by the pier, Day bought water and some snacks. The chartered boat was already going to prepare lunch for them.
