Inside their bedroom, Phuwin and Dunk found a moment of privacy amidst the chaos that had recently unfolded. They sat down, sharing a sisterly conversation that touched upon the events of the day and their changing perspectives.

Phuwin: (reflective) "You know, Dunk, today made me realize something. When Joong risked everything to save you without a second thought, it made me question our behavior towards him."

Dunk: (thoughtful) "I know what you mean, Phu. Joong showed us kindness and selflessness when he didn't have to. It made me realize that we've been treating him unfairly."

Their candid conversation was a rare moment of vulnerability between the sisters. Phuwin and Dunk, while discussing their own behavior, also recognized the compassion and bravery that Joong had demonstrated in the face of danger.

Phuwin: (apologetic) "Dunk, I think we need to do better. Joong risked his life for us today. We shouldn't have made fun of him earlier."

Dunk: (regretful) "You're right, Phu. We owe him an apology. We should appreciate the people who genuinely care about us."

The brothers  shared a genuine bond, and this moment of reflection strengthened their understanding of the importance of treating others with kindness and respect. It marked a significant shift in their perspective, one that would have a profound impact on their interactions with Joong and Pond moving forward.


In the quiet of her room, as the night enveloped the house, Daisy found herself unable to sleep. Her thoughts kept drifting back to the events of the day, particularly the daring rescue carried out by Joong.

As he lay in his bed, the memory of Joong's bravery and selflessness stirred something within him. A feeling he hadn't experienced before began to take hold – a growing attraction to Joong.

Dunk: (whispering to himself ) "Why can't I stop thinking about him? Joong showed incredible courage today, and he was so kind to me."

With each passing moment, her thoughts became more focused on Joong's presence, his strength, and the way he had risked everything for her. he found himself drawn to his charisma and unwavering determination.

As sleep eluded him, Dunk's heart wrestled with newfound emotions, and he couldn't help but wonder what the future might hold as these feelings continued to blossom. Little did he know that this attraction would mark the beginning of a complex and unexpected connection with Joong, one that would play a pivotal role in their mission and their lives.

In the aftermath of Joong's daring rescue, a stern discussion ensued back at the team's base. Zee and Force, both concerned for their teammate's safety, took Joong to task for his impulsive actions.

Zee: (concerned) "Joong, what you did today was incredibly reckless. You put yourself in grave danger without thinking about the consequences. This could have ended in a disaster."

Force: (firmly) "He's right, Joong. We're a team, and we need to work together. You can't go off on your own like that, especially when we're dealing with people as dangerous as Mr. Carlos."

Joong listened carefully to their words, realizing the gravity of his actions. He didn't offer excuses or deny his mistake.

Joong: (contrite) "You're both right. I let my emotions get the best of me today, and I put the mission and all of you at risk. I promise, I won't act impulsively like that again."

His sincere acknowledgment of his error and his commitment to do better reassured Zee and Force. They knew that while Joong's actions had been impulsive, his intentions had been driven by a desire to protect their teammate.

This conversation marked a valuable lesson for the team about the importance of teamwork and calculated actions in their high-stakes mission. It was a reminder that their unique powers were most effective when used together, and that unity and strategy were their greatest strengths.
