After Day ended the call, Itt's eyes lit up, and he slowly sat up in bed with a serious expression on his face.
"Damn it. When is this going to end? This Bastard is too jealous. Gear won't kill his little brother," Itt complained to himself, but his heart couldn't resist wondering whether Day would come back to check on him or not.
"I will take a shower first. Living like this, I don't feel safe," Itt said because he was still naked. The pale figure slowly descended from the bed. As soon as his feet touched the cold floor, he felt his legs trembling.
"Why am I shaking so much?" Itt cursed angrily at his feet. He feels himself going crazier with each passing day because he is now forced to stay alone and talk to himself.
Itt forced himself to take a bath and soak in the warm water inside of the tub because it helps relax his muscles. Itt reaches for the phone beside him. He was afraid to miss Day's call because of Day's threat to screw him the number of times he didn't pick up his phone when he called.
Itt calls Gear's number, but it goes to voicemail. He stops trying to call and finishes his bath before getting dressed.
Ring... Ring... Ring...
Itt's phone rings. He immediately picks it up to see who's calling, feeling relieved that it wasn't Day.
"What's up, Nick?" Itt answered, seeing it was his friend.
- ("Are you home?") Nick asked.
"I'm not there. I went out to take care of some business," Itt lied.
- ("Oh, Where at? I'm bored and getting a little frustrated. I want to go get something to eat at Siam. Will you go with me? I can pick you up. Have you finished your errands yet?) Nick asked.
Itt hesitated a bit before realizing that Day would probably be busy taking care of Night's affairs. He often stays overnight with his brother without coming back to sleep at the condo. The more issues he has, the more Day he must watch over his brother.
"Oh, come pick me up at my friend's condo. I'll go downstairs and wait for you," Itt said as he gave him directions to Day's condo. Since he has many friends, Nick probably wouldn't suspect a thing. After making the plans with Nick, Itt was ready to get ready and wait for Nick downstairs. Itt walked slowly because he still felt a sharp pain inside. Itt stood and waited for his friend to arrive. Nick parked his car. Itt opens the car door.
"What are you doing here?" Nick asked before getting out of the car.
"I came to see a friend. What should I eat? I'm starving." Itt changed the subject so that his friend wouldn't ask too many questions.
"What do you want to eat?" Nick asked.
"I want to eat Japanese food," Itt said back. He's not in the mood to eat spicy food.
"Well, let's eat at Paragon. I can look at the girls too," Nick said, turning to give his friend a small look.
"Hey, Itt. Did you get into a fight with a girl again? Your neck is full of marks. Ha-Ha. That girl must be a sadist," Nick said jokingly, startling Itt. He immediately adjusts his shirt collar to hide the marks.
"Ugh... very sadistic and very horny," Itt replied. Nick frowned before lightly chuckling.
"So, that's it?" Nick said with a light chuckle before Itt fell silent.
//Do I have to send a message to tell him first? I'm going out... nothing more. If he's in a bad mood, he will come and bother us again. //
Itt thought to himself before deciding not to tell Day that he would be out eating with a friend. Itt craves freedom. He wants to go back to his old life. Soon, they arrive at the mall. Nick parks, and they walk into the mall together.
"Oops!" Itt groaned as he bumped into a tall figure, causing a sharp pain to shoot in his bottom. Itt is not able to keep his balance. Nick catches him, wrapping his arms around Itt's waist to pull him back up.
"Ah... Excuse me," said the voice of the tall figure whom Itt had bumped into.
"Are you okay, Itt?" Nick asked suddenly. Itt looks at the tall figure out of annoyance as he regains his composure.
"I'm okay. I wasn't watching where I was going," Itt said curtly.
Due to the pain in his bottom, he didn't want to waste time arguing.
"It's okay. Your face looks familiar," another tall figure says to him when he saw Itt had spoken.
"Don't you watch where you're going? Let's go, Nick. I'm hungry," Itt said to his friend because he wanted to sit down. He forces Nick to walk away. Nick was concerned for his friend when he saw Itt walking strangely, so he held him up as they walked.
.....
.....
"What's going on, P' Neil?" A young man's voice came over and asked Neil, who was watching the figures walking behind him.
"Nothing. Did you buy me everything so that I can go back to the hotel?" Neil turned to ask his junior.
"Yes, I do," replied the young man before walking to the car with Neil.
While Itt goes to eat Japanese food with Nick. Day went on a rampage waiting for Night to return home with Gear in the evening.
Bang...
Night's face turned to the side from the impact of Day's slap. As soon as Gear left, Day dragged Night into the house. They argued to the point where he hit his brother out of anger.
"Ai' Day!!" Fu said. He immediately blocked Day while in shock. Fu never imagined that Day would dare to treat his brother like this. Day had always loved and cherished Night.
"Now, you dare to argue with me, Night!?" Day snapped at his brother.
Day never thought his younger brother would dare to raise his voice at him, like that. When Night turned around to face Day, his heart sped up at the sight of fresh blood flowing from the corner of his brother's mouth.
"Why did you slap me like that?!!...Huh... I hate you!! P' Day, you're the worst, brother!!" Night sobs as he ran and closed himself in his room.
"Night...Night!" Day tries to follow his brother but was grabbed by the arm by Fu.
"Day, don't be upset with your brother!" Fu yelled at his friend.
"But Night..." Day started to speak but was speechless. His brain was completely dark now, filling with anger and guilt.
"First, you need to calm down. Why did you do that? How could you hit Night?" Fu said. Day looked down at the hand that hit Night's face. before walking over to the sofa and sitting down. He raised both hands to cover his face.
"Wow!! Why am I like this?" Day shouted. Fu sat silently next to Day but didn't say anything until his friend calmed down. Shortly after this, Night came downstairs. However, he ignored Day, saying that he wasn't hungry, which made Day feel a little irritated. Day went upstairs to his room without eating either. After being alone in the room, Day thought about Itt, so he picked up the phone and made a call.
- ("What is it?") a voice answered the phone.
"What are you doing?" Day asked quietly. Itt was silent for a moment because he was confused about Day's mood.
"I asked what you were doing. Didn't you hear me?" Day asked again in a deep voice, but he did not shout.
- ("I'm watching TV. Can't you hear it in the background?") Itt said because now he had returned to the condo after going out to eat with Nick. Itt had his friend drive him back to Day's condo, saying he needed to see his friend again. Nick dropped him off without saying much.
"Is there something wrong with you? What I'm asking is nothing. I'm afraid you will die in my condo," Day replied. Itt could only curse Day on the other end of the line.
- ("I've already eaten!") Itt replied.
"Can't you speak to me nicely? Do you want to get hurt?!" Day replied.
("...") Itt remained silent!!
"Did you call the restaurant to have food delivered?" Day he asked, noticing that Itt was silent.
- ("Yes"), Itt responded briefly but didn't tell Day that he ate out.
"Er... I'm not coming back tonight. You take care of the condo. If possible, clean it, please. I don't want to come back to a dirty thing," Day said.
- (//Damn it, I'm not your maid. //) Itt speaks softly, but Day couldn't hear his words clearly.
"What did you say?" Day asked.
- ("I didn't say anything. It was the sound of the TV.") Itt said quickly.
"Oh, that better be true. Don't think that just because I'm not there that you can be slutty and sneak out," said Day again.
- ("Who do you think is slutty?!! I'm a man. Besides, I'm not your prisoner, Day." Itt said angrily.
"Who told you that you were a prisoner? You've been my slave since you started doing bad things to my little brother, Itt," Day said angrily.
- ("Oh! I'm bad!? If I'm bad, you're worse than me. If you think you can insult me, then learn to look at yourself. You Bastard, Day!!!!) Itt scolded him angrily, but Day does not like to repeat himself.
"You dare to scold me, Itt?" Day asked in a deep voice.
- ("Oh! I'm going to scold you. If you want me to talk to you nicely, why don't you learn to talk nicely to me first? You don't have to call and insult me. I'm going to bed, and I'm going to hang up the phone. So, you can't say I don't answer your calls,"), Itt continued...
("Oh! And you don't have to bother coming back tonight. Keep an eye on your brother. If he leaves, don't blame me,"). Itt finished talking and immediately ended the call, leaving Day in shock.
"Damn... Itt... you'll see tomorrow," Day said through clenched teeth before trying to call Itt back. It appears that Itt really did turn his phone off. Day laid in bed in annoyance, but he can't go on a rampage with Itt right now. Night is home alone. Day wanted to reconcile with his little brother first. The tall man got up to take a shower before changing clothes to go to bed.
The next morning...
Day got out of bed to make breakfast, but before going down, he looked at his brother's bedroom door. Day thinks that Night is still sleeping, so he goes down to cook Night's favorite things. He wanted to please him and apologize for slapping him. Shortly after cooking, Day knocked on the bedroom door to wake him up.
Knock... Knock...
"Night... Night, are you awake yet?" Day yelled at his younger brother as he knocked on the bedroom door, but there was no response.
"Night! Are you awake?' Day called again.
"Is he taking a shower?" Day said to himself before knocking on the door again.
"Night... Night..." Day started to feel bad. So, he went to get the spare key to his brother's room and opened it immediately. Day frowned when the bed was empty. He started to feel a strange feeling in his heart before walking towards the empty bedroom.
"Night!! Where are you?" Day yelled before seeing the back door open. Day didn't want to think that his brother had run away from home. He walked quickly through the house calling for his brother, but there was no sign of Night. Day's insides boiled with rage.
"Gear... You must be with him," Day clenched his teeth in anger. Night never acted like this. Night never talked back to his brother, but this time, they ran away together. Day quickly got into his car and drove to Gear's house. When he arrived, he rang the bell until the housekeeper opened the door. The tall figure didn't care about anyone. He entered looking for Night and Gear.
Although the housewife told him that there was no one at home, Day didn't care. He needs to find his brother, even though he was told that the police would be notified. When Day did not find his brother, he became convinced that Night was with Gear and Gus. Day called Fu and Neil, asking for help looking for his brother. He went to Four's house. When he arrived at Four's house, the housekeeper informed Day that he had not returned since last night. Day became even more suspicious; he became so angry that smoke came out of his ears. Immediately, he thought of Itt. The tall figure didn't wait long and quickly made his way to the condo.
"Day, how are you?" Neil's voice sounded as Day got out of the car. Neil had just arrived.
"I haven't found him yet. What about you?" Day asked. Neil looked at the friend, knowing that Day was angry.
"I'm going to call some friends to help me find them, but first I came to see you. What are you going to do?" Neil replied.
"Let's go upstairs to my room first," Day said because he didn't want to discuss this here. They went up to Day's condo and went inside.
"Do you really think that bastard took Night?" Neil asked in a furious tone because he was hurt that Night had run off with Gear. Day, who was about to enter the room, immediately stopped and looked at Neil.
"Yes! Otherwise, where is that dog? Who dares to take my brother? If I see him, I'll crush him with my hands," Day said grimly.
"Where are we going to find him? Have you asked the people at his house yet?" Neil asked.
"I asked, and no one knows. I think they don't want anyone to know, but I know who can tell me," Day said with a smile. Neil looked at his friend in disbelief and surprise.
...
...
...
"What's that noise? People are trying to sleep," Itt said irritably. The thin figure opened the bedroom door with a sleepy look. Day and Neil turned to look at each other. Day looked angry, but Neil had a suspicious look on his face.
Thump!
"Oh! That hurts! What the hell are you doing to me?" Itt yelled out. Day pushes Itt so hard that he hits the wall. Without being careful, he grabs Itt by his shirt collar and brings him closer to himself.
"Yesterday, you told me to take care of my little brother, and today my brother is gone. What do you know, Itt?!" Day screamed loudly. Itt looked at Day with confused eyes.
"What are you talking about?" Itt asked.
"Shai!! My brother is gone... Do you hear me? Your idiot friend took my brother!! Where did he take Night? Tell me you bastard!!" Day snorted. Itt's eyes widened when he heard this.
"What...? How am I supposed to know?" Itt said before turning around to see Neil standing there looking at him.
"Ah, I remember you now," Neil's voice rang out, making Day look suspicious. His hand still clutched the collar of Itt's shirt as the thin figure looked at Neil in shock.
"Remember what?" Day asked Neil sternly.
//Fuck me// Itt mumbles as he struggles to find a way to survive. He knew that wouldn't be safe now.
"Yesterday, I bumped into this brat at Paragon. I remember where I've seen his face. He went with you the day I raced," said Neil. Day immediately turned to look at Itt. The thin figure swallowed hard.
"Was he, now? ...He went...with...who?" Day asked his friend in a hard tone and looked coldly at Itt.
"He was with his husband. I saw them walking, embracing each other, not too far away... Er... but what are you doing here?" Neil asked out of curiosity. Itt looked at Day with trembling eyes as Day's eyes seemed to have flaming coming out of them.
"I... I can I explain...I... just -" Itt tried to talk to Day, but he was speechless when he saw the look on Day's face. When Day turned to say something to Neil, Itt's survival instinct told him to run. Itt saw that Day accidentally took his hand off his neck. He took this moment to run towards the door.
"Shia... You think you can get away from me?!" Day screamed and ran behind Itt. Itt made it to the door of the room when Day's strong hand grabbed his hair from behind and yanked him, throwing Itt back to the center of the room. Neil shook his head before closing the door for Day.
"What are you thinking? Do you think you can escape from Day?" Neil said aloud.
SMACK!!
Itt's face immediately turned to the side with the force of the slap until the thin figure fell to the ground.
"Oh! It hurts me!" Itt cries out when Day comes after him and lifts him by his hair.
"Who do you think you're playing with?" Day yelled. Both the story of his runaway brother and the story of Itt ended up infuriating Day until his face darkened.
"Where did you say you were yesterday? In the bedroom?? Who did you go out with?!" Day screamed, not caring about Neil because he already knew Day's personality.
"I just went out with my friend... I finished eating and came back,"
Itt said as blood trickled from his mouth.
"Are you going to make another bad decision?" Day said, dragging Itt to the bedroom. Day threw Itt to the bedroom floor and straddled him, squeezing his neck, making him choke.
"Ugh!!" Itt immediately raised his hand and grabbed Day's hand as he struggled to breathe.
"My brother is gone! How are you going to take responsibility?!!... What else are you planning, Itt? Tell me!" Day screamed aloud with rage suffocating him.
"Ugh... Please... Release... Ah... Day... Stop..."Itt choked as he tried to breathe. Tears started to flow. He had never felt so scared before. Day was freaking out like someone who could kill anyone right now.
"Day... Let him go. Damn, he will die soon. If he dies, you'll go to jail. Then who is going to take care of your brother, Night?" Neil struggled to pull his friend along when he saw that Day wasn't going to stop. It was the only way for Day to stop. Day slowly let go of his hand but didn't move off Itt. The pale figure immediately took a deep breath, sucking air into his lungs.
"Fuck, Day! Are you going to kill me!?" Itt yelled as his voice trembled.
Itt started punching Day's chest. He fought back even though he knew he couldn't win. Itt tried to hit Day's body that was straddling him.
"Damn!! You really want to die you Bastard!!"Day snorted. He took his hand off Itt's hurt neck and gripped his arms on either side. The pale figure was tired and out of breath. He glared at Day angrily.
"You're so bad, Day!! You, Bastard, are you going to kill me?!" Itt said, his voice shaking as he held hiccups and tears. Itt was scared, angry and confused.
"If I'm bad, so are you. We're the same, right? A bad person like you must meet a bad person like me!" Day shouted.
"So, now tell me where Gear took my brother?!" Day asked again, eyes sharp and hard.
"I don't know!! I didn't see him. I didn't talk to Gear!" Itt said sincerely.
"Where did you go yesterday?!! I gave you an order not to leave. Don't you remember?" Day asked again, while Neil kept looking because he didn't think Day was going to kill Itt.
"I just went to eat with a friend," said Itt, realizing that his saliva tasted like blood.
"A friend? But Neil told me you left with your husband... Why? I gave it to you. I guess you're not satisfied, right?!! That's why you left again," Day said angrily, without knowing the real reason for being angry at that time.
"He's not my husband!! Nick, he's just a friend of mine..." Itt replied hurriedly, making Day smirk.
"You had to go alone! Oh, you like it so much that you would allow someone else to do it?" Day asked in a stern voice.
"If your body wants that much, then if I get my friends to do it, you probably won't mind, will you?" Day said, before Itt's eyes widened in shock.
"Argh, no, Day..." Itt said hurriedly. Day got off Itt, lifted him.
with strength and threw him on top of Neil.
"Do you mind sharing things with me, Neil?" Day said, looking at Neil, pointing at Itt and making a sign that only they know. Neil smiled slightly.
"I don't mind. By the way, this Bastard is so cute too," said Neil. Itt turned to look at Neil in a panic, shaking his head.
"No, Day!!... Don't... do this to me," Itt started to struggle with fear. When Neil hugged Itt from behind, no matter how much he tried to fight, he couldn't get Neil off him.
A strong hand reached for Itt's shirt, causing the thin figure to start crying. Day watched the situation, while Itt looked at the strong figure through a veil of pleading tears. This time, it's even harder for Itt to hold back the tears.
"Looking at me like that, what do you want to say?" Day asked in a low voice. As Neil continued to caress Itt's silky-smooth chest.
"Hug... Can you... Just you... Day... Can you be the only one... to hug me... I beg you..." Itt sobbed. Day smiled slightly, so Neil looked at his friend when he heard what Itt said.
"Will you take him back?" Neil asked, Day nodded. Neil pushed Itt back towards Day.
"Remember your words, Itt! That... Only... I... can be... the one..." Day said in a cold voice before dragging Itt towards the bedroom.
