"What's wrong? Why are you so quiet? Why aren't you yelling?" Day tried to ask back. Itt bit his lip a little because he felt that he had already lost his mind towards Day. He stood awkwardly.
"Then, I can go back to sleep at home with my mom," Itt said with a raised head to cover his shame. He walked towards the door of the room, but Day's strong arms extended to block the entrance of the door, causing Itt to stop.
"Sorry, I gave you a chance, but you didn't want to stay with your mom. So, you can't go anywhere. Go shower and get ready for bed. Don't you have class tomorrow?" Day asked. Itt hesitated before starting to pout.
"Okay, okay," Itt replied in a grunt before picking up a towel and disappearing into the bathroom. Day watched him and shook his head slightly before picking up the empty liquor glasses and cleaning the room. As soon as he walked back into the bedroom, he found Itt had just come out of the bathroom.
Day decided to take a shower. Itt avoided him before he was still feeling embarrassed about losing his face. Day finished showered. He came out to see that Itt had already fallen asleep. Day didn't say anything. He got dressed and moved to lay on the bed next to Itt.
"Move over," Day said softly. Itt automatically rolled towards Day.
"Huh? Are you pretending to be asleep?" Day asked, and Itt opened his eyes.
"Who said that I was pretending to be asleep? I was just resting my eyes," Itt argued back.
"So, why did you come to see me? Can't sleep unless you have me hugging you?" Day asked again.
"You're stuck on yourself," Itt argued back again.
"I am not a narcissist. When I told you to move towards me, you immediately rolled. Just like that. You don't want me to hug you. So, what does it mean then?" Day asked. Itt's mouth was closed because Day put him on the spot. He couldn't argue back. He moved away from Day and laid down with his back to him.
"Stop talking so much. I'm going to bed now. I have an early class tomorrow," Itt said.
Suddenly!
Itt's small body was pulled into a hug from behind by Day.
"Stop bragging. I admit, no one said anything about you not being able to sleep because you don't sleep without me," Day said again. Itt grunted lightly.
"I'm more than that. It's you that can't live without me," Itt said in return.
"You dare to argue with me?" Day said flatly.
"No," Itt replied softly, but he felt relieved in his heart.
"Then go to sleep. You talk a lot. It's annoying. I'll take you to the university tomorrow," Day said. So, Itt closed his eyes slowly. Both he and Day fell asleep shortly after.
...
"Day, wake up. I have to go to class early," Itt's voice rang out. When he woke up, he took and shower and got dressed for his morning class, but Day was still asleep in bed.
"What's wrong? You're so loud this early in the morning," Day shouted.
"I'm going to class. Are you going to let me go by myself?" Itt asked again. Day cursed lightly before sitting up with messy hair.
"Drive my car. The keys are on the table," Day asked in a sleepy voice.
"No, what if your younger brother sees me? How will I respond?" Itt said back.
"Call your friend Nick to pick you up," Day said again.
"I tried to call him, but his phone is off," Itt replied.
"Then take a taxi. I'm trying to sleep and you're disturbing me," Day said as he tried to lay back down.
"I can't ride a taxi alone," Itt said in an ominous voice. Day frowned.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Day grumbled.
"No, if you wanted to take me, you would talk to me nicely. You've put me in a bad mood. I can find a way to class myself," Itt complained, sounding equally annoyed before going to pick up his bag off the table in the corner of the room.
"So, what are you going to do?" Day asked curtly.
"I'm going to walk there," Itt said, belting his voice out before opening the door of the room and walking out. The tall figure sits and shook his head before getting up to put on a shirt and picking up the keys to his car with messy hair. Itt had already gone down in the elevator because he was angry. He wanted out of the condo and was walking down the street, looking left and right. He was thinking about where he was going and how he was going to get there.
"Get in the car!" Day shouted in a loud voice, causing Itt to turn around and see that Day was standing in front of the condo before Itt turned away to ignore him.
"You wanted me to take you so badly? I told you to walk over here and get in the car," Day said in a fierce voice, causing Itt to move forward and pout all the way back to the parking lot of the condo. As soon as he reached the car and was standing behind Day, Itt and a sullen look on his face.
"Can't I be lazy? Fix the expression on your face," Day said harshly. Itt did not respond. He did not look at Day's face.
"I just heard you grunt at me, Itt. If you're going to be late, it's your fault. I don't care if you guys have enough time to study or not," Day complained.
"And who said he would come and take me to class? If you can't do what your mouth says, you shouldn't have said it at all," Itt said after some time.
"I'm taking you to class, right now," Day said back. Itt then sits quietly until he arrives in front of the university.
"When you're done with call, please call and report to me?" Day asked before Itt got out of the car.
"Why?" Itt asked back.
"How can I get you, might I ask?" Day said back.
"Okay," Itt responded before getting out of the car and walking quickly to the front of the university. He was afraid that his friend or Night would come and see that Day brought him.
"Itt," a voice called out to Itt. When Itt turned to look at who it was, he was startled slightly when he saw it was Night calling him.
"Uh... what's up, Nong Night?" Itt responded while wondering if Night had seen him getting out of Day's car or not.
"Gear asked me to bring your work to the teacher. He said to give it to you," Night said to Itt in a normal manner and gave the report to him. He quickly took it.
"Do you know anything about your friend?" Night asked. Itt frowned slightly.
"What's the matter?" Itt asked back.
"It's because your friend was stabbed," Night said back. Itt slowly nodded.
"I know, but I haven't had time to visit him. I have work to do at home," Itt lied. Night slowly nodded his head in recognition.
"Umm... then I'll go. I'm going to class soon," Night said and walked away. Itt let out a sigh of relief before taking out his phone. He dialed Nick's number, but his phone was still off. Itt decided to walk up to the university building after missing class for several days.
All day, Night didn't come to any of his classes. Itt, therefore, had to sit and study with his other friends until it was time for class to end that afternoon. Itt left the school building and dialed Day's number. He waited a very long time until the phone went to voicemail. Day didn't answer hi scall. Itt kept trying to call Day, but Day didn't answer any of his calls.
"What a man... He said he would come pick me up. He said he wouldn't say anything. He didn't even pick up the phone. So, what am I going to do with him?" Itt complained alone in frustration before going to sit at a stone table near the school building to wait a little longer. Itt tried to call Day again, but once again, he didn't accept his call.
Suddenly!
Itt, who was sitting and pouting, put down the phone he was holding in his hand. He sensed someone sitting in a chair across from him, so he looked up a little before his face became shocked.
"Damn, Pee, how did you get here?" Itt asked in astonishment when he saw Pee was in front of him. He was wearing his own university's uniform and kept a straight face before he heard his phone ring. Itt looked down and saw it was Pee's number calling.
"Why did you call me?" Itt asked back. Pee immediately ended the call.
"You're still using the same number. That time I called, who did you have to answer the phone? If you hate me, you can tell me directly. You don't have to be shameful and do something like that," Pee said, sounding tense. This made Itt feel guilty in his heart.
"Uh... Well... I'm sorry," Itt couldn't say anything else. He apologized to Pee, but Pee sat still.
"Are you that afraid of Day, to the point that you would allow him to do anything? Even your phone isn't safe around him," Pee asked. Itt hesitated because he didn't know how to explain it to Pee.
"I'm sorry. Why are you upset with me? If you're not happy, you don't have to call me," Itt said in a shaky voice because he was getting frustrated because Day didn't answer any of his calls.
"You're awful," Pee said sadly while turning to look the other way. The more he sounded like this, the more guilty Itt was feeling.
"Oh, you don't have to make those sounds. What the hell? I didn't do anything wrong. It was Day. He was the one who did it," Itt said. Pee turned to face Itt a bit.
"Then you have to feed me to pay for the sadness he made me feel," Pee said back. Itt's eyes widened.
"Are you crazy? Find something to eat here for free. Besides, Day is coming to pick me up. I don't want to get in trouble with him," Itt said straightforwardly.
"Wait. He's coming to pick you up? When I saw you calling him on your phone, he didn't pick up your call. Did he?" Pee said straightforwardly. Itt couldn't argue.
"If he finds out that I went with you, I'm going to die alone," Itt said, sounding even softer than before.
"Don't let him find out," said Pee.
"And if he finds out, can you come and help me? That's easy to say," Itt said, returning to his previous tone.
"It's up to you. Are you going to call me to help you or not?" Pee said, trapping the way even more. Itt was stunned and unable to argue.
"Okay, what's up? Are you taking me to dinner? Otherwise, I'll tell your mom and dad that you're making me feel bad. Even though I want to be your friend," Pee said.
"Is he bad? He says he wants to be friends with me... Then what kind of friend uses my father and mother to threaten me?" Itt's voice rang out. Pee shrugged his shoulders like he didn't know. Itt hesitated for a while because Day still hasn't accepted any of his calls. Itt still didn't know how he would get back to the condo.
"Wait a minute," Itt said before dialing the phone again, but he frowned when Day still didn't answer his call.
"Yes, I can go with you. Then when bringing me back, I'll tell you where to drop me off," Itt said.
"You're afraid he will find out?" said Pee.
"You don't have to ask too much, right? Are we going to go?" Itt is starting to get annoyed.
"My car is parked in the front of the building, right over there," Pee said back before Itt got up and followed Pee, even though his heart was trembling. Day had already abandoned him. Itt was angry that Day didn't answer any of his calls. Itt sat in Pee's car and rode together with him to the mall in the center of the city. After picking a place, the two of them sat in their seats together.
"What are you so paranoid about?" Pee asked when he saw that he was sitting next to Itt.
"Nothing," Itt said back. Although he was worried he would meet someone who would tell Day that he was with Pee.
"Are you afraid that someone will see that you are with me?" Pee said.
"No, you talk too much. Just order," Itt said in an annoyed voice. Pee then manages to order food before sitting and waiting for the food to be served. Itt sat and waited while constantly checking his phone. He was afraid Day would call, and he wouldn't be able to hear it.
The two of them sat and ate while chatting a bit. Itt wasn't very focused on their conversation because he was worried about Day. When they finished eating their meal and was about to pay...
Ring... Ring... Ring...
Itt's phone rings, causing him to be startled. He quickly picked his phone up to look at it.
"I'll go outside to take this call. I'll be back in a second," Itt said to Pee immediately when he saw that it was Day calling him.
"You can go out and wait in front of the store. I'll wait until the payment is taken and then follow you out," Pee said because he knew very well who was calling Itt. Itt quickly got up and went outside the restaurant to answer the call.
("Where are you?") A voice asked curtly.
"The mall," Itt replied with a firm voice because he was still angry that Day did not answer his calls.
("What the hell are you doing at the mall? Didn't I tell you that I was going to pick you up at the university?") Day asked in an angry voice.
"No, you don't get to make that noise if you're not happy with it. Do you even keep an eye on your phone? Do you see how many times I've tried to call you? I've been out of class for a long time. I sat and waited for you for a long time, but you didn't come. So, I went out to eat with one of my friends and stopped to buy some things for class, as well," Itt said back.
("I slept for a long time and forgot to turn the volume up on my phone,") Day said straightforwardly.
"That's why? So, if you woke up around 4-5 o'clock, I'm supposed to just sit and wait at the university for you to come get me?" Itt said back to Day.
("Don't talk too much. And you're at the mall? I'll come out to pick you up,") Day asked. Itt was a little embarrassed.
"Uh... no need. I'll take the bus back myself," Itt said.
("Where are you?") Day asked in a flat voice. Itt sighed lightly because he knew that Day was going to continue to insist on picking him up.
"In Siam. If you come to pick me up, I'll just go to sit and wait in front of Paragon," Itt said back.
("Oh... Wait for me there. You don't have to go anywhere else,") After saying this, Day immediately hung up the phone just as Pee walked out of the restaurant.
"Want to go get some ice cream next?" Pee asked.
"I can't go. How much was it just now?" Itt asked because Pee was the one who paid for them to eat.
"No, you don't have to pay. I'll take care of you. Then, you can't go to eat ice cream anymore because Day will be coming to pick you up, right?" Pee asked in a calm voice. Itt does not look at Pee's face clearly.
"Um," Itt answered, and Pee sighs.
"...fine. I don't want you to get hurt by Day. Let's just say I will go back now. At least today, it was good that you were willing to come and eat with me," Pee said.
"I'm sorry," Itt said, feeling slightly guilty.
"It's okay. What can you do? I'm so rude to like someone who's already owned by someone. Plus, the owner is fierce like a dog," Pee said.
"Who owns who? Don't talk nonsense," Itt immediately argued while feeling himself brush in front of Pee, who had just said that he liked him.
"Huh? You're very stubborn. Well, I'm not going to stay here and bother you anymore. I'm leaving," Pee said.
"Umm... Thank you for the meal," Itt said, unable to say anything else.
"Um, next time, you'll have to treat me too," Pee said. Itt nodded in acceptance before Pee walked away. Itt started to walk towards Paragon Fountain. He found a seat and waited for Day.
At least Pee was still easy to talk to, and if he was another friend, then Itt would be fine. But it's still bothersome that Day doesn't want Itt to contact him.
Ring... Ring... Ring...
Itt was playing on his phone to kill time before his phone started to ring.
"What's up?" Itt answered because it was Day calling.
(Where are you??") Day asked.
"Where are you? I'm sitting in the front of Paragon," Itt said.
("Oh... I see you,") Day said to let Itt know the tall figure had arrived. When he looked up, he found that Day was walking towards him while hanging up the phone. There were many eyes looking at Day with interest because of his tall figure and sharp eyes. The blank face Day was making looks fierce. This made Itt feel that Day is an attractive person and has a lot of charm in him. Day stopped in front of Itt.
"Who said he came to buy things? I don't see you holding anything or anything sitting at your feet," Day asked.
"Well, my friend took it back with him," Itt said, apologizing to Day in his heart for lying again.
"Where is your friend?" Day asked again.
"Why would I have let my friend stay? If he knows that you are Night's brother and asks me about it, how would I be able to answer him?" Day looked at Itt's face for a moment but didn't say anything more about it.
"Have you eaten yet?" Day asked.
"Hmm," Itt replied.
"Then let's go and buy some things inside because we are almost out of things at the condo," Day said in a flat voice.
"Um," Itt replied before getting up and going inside Paragon with Day.
...
"Day, why won't you push the cart yourself?" Itt grumbled as he pushed the cart through the grocery store behind Day.
"I'm lazy," Day said shortly. He picked up some shampoo and looked at it. Itt secretly scolded Day behind his back without making a sound. When Day turned to look at Itt, he kept his face as if it was nothing.
"What is it?" Day asked Itt.
"Nothing," Itt replied quickly.
"Oh... What brand of shampoo do you want to pick?" Day said. Itt looked at him with a confused expression.
"Why do I get to choose?" Itt asked.
"Damn, if you don't choose, how will I know what you use? Right now, you're using mine, aren't you? In case you want to use the brand you like, tell me so I can buy it," Day said in a firm voice. Itt looked at Day in surprise because he seemed to care more about him. This also made Itt feel better.
"Then you push the cart and follow me. I'll choose it myself," Itt said confidently before abandoning the cart to let Day push it himself. Day let out a heavy sigh, but agreed to push the cart and follow Itt.
...
"Do you think this is a good brand to use?" Itt asked as he walked to pick out shampoo with Day.
"And have you ever used it?" Day asked Itt. He shook his head.
"Never, but I saw some women in my friends group talk about it was good to use. Their hair is soft too," Itt said again.
"Have you gone and touched them to know their hair is soft?" Day asked in a normal voice.
"I didn't touch them. I just heard them talking about it," Itt said while holding a brand of shampoo in each hand because he was having a hard time deciding.
"Which one do you want? Hurry up and choose. I'm hungry. You've eaten rice and are full, but I haven't eaten anything yet," Day said.
"Calm down. Endure the hunger for now," Itt said calmly before going to pick out a few other things to buy.
"Well, I'm going to ask, why did you buy things like shampoo and toothpaste in a big pack?" Itt asked.
"Are you stupid, or are you stupid?" Day said. Itt frowned at Day for saying that to him.
"If there's another person with you, if you buy a small pack, you'll run out quickly. I'm too lazy to come out and buy things like this very often," Day said before turning to look at the total cost of the groceries. Itt heard the cost and was a little stunned. His face flushed red.
"Wait," Day's voice stopped the staff before picking up some items at the checkout counter and turning to Itt.
"What is this? Who's is this?" Day asked. Itt smiled dryly when he saw a large bag of crispy potatoes, along with two large chocolate bars and other small snacks. Day didn't put it in the cart, so he asked Itt.
"It's mine. I'm too lazy to leave your condo to go buy it, so I planned on buying enough to stock up on," Itt said in a low voice.
"Are these necessary? These snacks?" Day asked.
"Why are you complaining? I will pay for them myself," Itt said while trying to steal the snacks and candy from Day to pay for himself, but Day pulled it away from him and handed them to the cashier to pay for them.
"You don't have to talk so much. I'll pay for them myself. I'm not going to separate your snacks. You are wasting other people's time," Day said, ready to turn and pay for the items. Itt secretly wrinkled his nose at Day when the payment was complete. The two of them went back to the car. Day drove Itt to the condo. Both carried the items they had bought into the condo.
...
"Is he here?" Someone's deep voice rang out when Day arrived back at the condo from the mall.
