[EP 12] It wasn't meant to be

Dunk was all smiles the day Joong met him at work. He had tried to broach the subject but Dunk adamant that nothing happened. He had promptly distracted him with work related topics. Joong didn't think too much about it at first but he began to have weird dreams. Vivid dreams of him making love to Dunk. It was a snippet here and a snippet there. It felt so real he could taste the sweat on his skin, he could feel the heat of sinking into his tight wet channel. 

Joong couldn't understand why he would have such vivid dreams. Did something happened that night or did his obsession for Dunk grow that much for him to be able to conjure such images? He needed more time alone with Dunk to figure it out.

It took a long time for Dunk to warm back up to Joong. He reminded himself that he can't continue like this. Joong knew him well. Through they had spent a short amount of time together, they did become the best of friends. He may be the CEO of JAA but he was also his onscreen partner who spent almost everyday with him. He can't make this weird or awkward before his contract ends. He should create happy memories with Joong while he is still in JAA.

When Joong asked Dunk out for a night at the bar, Dunk was reluctant. He didn't want a repeat of history.

"I promise, we won't get drunk this time." After much begging, Dunk relented. They were chatting and laughing like old times. 

Dunk couldn't help himself as he tried to memorize Joong's laughter. He didn't want to forget him but he also wanted to cut ties with him after his contract ends.  Joong has a lot more going for him. He had the looks, he had the money and he more than have the personality of an ideal partner. Dunk just didn't know why he would want to be with someone like him. There were times when he was brave enough to imagine that they could be more, but he would hear Dew's voice saying that they really shouldn't, least he'll get hurt.

They were having fun up until Joong's phone screen lit up.  Dunk was surprised to see their picture as the screen lock but he was curious as to who this Kapook was when he saw Joong's face paled. He placed the phone on the table with the screen down. 

All Joong's hopes were dashed. The reason why Joong was no longer an artist, the ghost of his past returned. 

Dunk looked at him curiously. Joong couldn't stop the heavy feeling in his heart. Here he was, his present, his future. He had wanted to explore and understand if they could be more, if maybe something had happened between them that night but he couldn't let go of his past as his phone vibrated.  

"That's... that's my umm.. ex..." He couldn't help the stutter or prevent the pain that came. Dunk hugged him. He knew intuitively when he needed one. Joong soaked in him warmth and thanked Dunk. He wanted to call it a day. He was no longer in the mood with the past hanging in his head. Just as he faced the door, she rushed into his arms. Joong was at a lost. 

It hurt... but Dunk knew that Joong had not intentionally hurt him. They weren't in a relationship. Joong had no idea what happened that night. They were drunk. Perhaps all those feelings were in his mind after all. He left without informing Joong. 

Dunk knew his time was up. 

2 weeks before he leaves JAA.
