Joong frowned when Gene informed him that Dunk had rejected the offer. When he approached Phuwin about it, he was apologetic. There was no other way of putting it except the fact that his brother was shy and introverted. Joong asked if it was possible to meet his brother personally. Phuwin was hesitant but he didn't want to anger the CEO. So he told him, he'll speak to Dunk first and get back to him. Joong prayed that Dunk will say yes.

"Urhh... gor dai, gor dai. (okay, okay)" Phuwin cheered when Dunk agreed to meet up with Joong. He didn't want to get Phuwin in trouble, neither did he want him to lose his dream job. Pond and him had it going with how many fans were shipping them. Little did they know that they really didn't need to since they are currently in a relationship. They were just laying low and keeping to themselves.

The day of the meeting....

Joong would have to say that Dunk is the first person he'd seen that uses contact lenses to downplay the colour of his eyes but it didn't subtract his beauty. He still looked as surreal as the first time he met him. It is a fine line between beauty and handsome that he can't differentiate when it came to Dunk Natachai Tangsakyuen. He saw him sitting on the bench waiting for him. 

Dunk was waiting and watching around aimlessly, trust his brother to forget to tell him how this Joong Archen Aydin looks like

Dunk was waiting and watching around aimlessly, trust his brother to forget to tell him how this Joong Archen Aydin looks like. He saw a guy walking towards him in an expensive looking suit. 

Phuwin had never mentioned that the CEO was handsome

Phuwin had never mentioned that the CEO was handsome. His heart was thumping as he stood in front of him. Dunk has stood up shakily and wai-ed uncertainly. Joong waved it off and ushered him to the cafe for a short chat.

Joong could see the effect he had on Dunk. He had hand picked this suit specifically because he knew he looked the best. He couldn't help the hint of a smile on his face when he knew that Dunk was as affected by him just as he was of him. Dunk had eyed the menu nervously, he just ordered an ice latte because he doesn't think he can stomach anything with the nervousness. He really don't do good in social setting. There were only a handful of people that he called friends. Pointer and Figo are his besties when it came to his engineering work. They understood him well and do all the talking when work requires it. He confides in Dew because he was the first friend he made and they have been inseparable since. He can't factor Pond in since he is Phuwin's boyfriend.  

Joong ordered his coffee and a slice of cake. He looked at Dunk after putting the menu away. He frowned at how nervous he was. Phuwin wasn't kidding when he mentioned that Dunk was introverted. He wouldn't have guessed it from the photoshoot that day. When he addressed him as khun bpra taan boor-ri-saad (Mr CEO), he waved off the formality straight away. He didn't want any status or gap between them. 

"I'm not here as a CEO, I'm here as Joong today. I would like to get to know you. I heard that you are an amazing voice actor and a robotics engineer?" Dunk had corrected him that his field is in computer innovative engineering. He deals with the coding behind the robotic hardware. Joong had shared how much he admired his voice acting in the games and anime he was featured in. Dunk didn't know how or why he had shared quite a bit about his passion in gaming and anime. How he hope to build his own game one day. It was an easy conversation between the both of them from there on. It was as if they had known each other for years. Dunk had never met someone with that kind of connection.

When the cake came, Joong had offered Dunk the first bite. Dunk rejected at first, saying that he wasn't hungry but Joong was persistent. Dunk relented and shyly taken a bite from his fork. Joong chuckled when he noticed that Dunk was a messy eater and cleaned the little cream that smeared the side of his mouth with just his thumb. He couldn't stop the urge to caress his cheeks with the rest of his fingers. His index finger touched the side of eyes, 

"Why do you hide it?" He asked softly. He couldn't help the curiosity since he first saw him today. 

"Cause no one sees pass this pair of eyes." Joong can see the hurt. No contact lens could hide the amount of pain that Dunk had gone through in the past. They were broken from their spell when Dunk's phone rang. He had excused himself saying that he'll catch up with him since it was work related. Joong had gotten Dunk's LINE and contact number before he left. Though he had not been able to make much progress on his offer, he had gotten to know Dunk Natachai Tangsakyuen as a person. With his contact in hand, there really wasn't too much of an issue. He looked on at Dunk's retreating form. 

"I see pass those pair of eyes, Dunk. I see you"
