In the days that followed, Joong couldn't shake off the magnetic pull of Dunk's presence. The florist had become a constant thought in his mind, and Joong found himself contemplating a move he hadn't considered in a long time – asking someone out on a genuine date.

One evening, Joong found himself standing in front of Dunk's florist shop, the neon sign casting a warm glow on the sidewalk. Taking a deep breath, he pushed the door open.

Dunk, busy arranging a fresh batch of flowers, looked up and smiled at Joong's entrance.

Dunk: "Hey, Joong. Back for more flowers?"

Joong, a nervous excitement in his voice, decided to throw caution to the wind.

Joong: "Actually, Dunk, I was wondering if you'd like to grab a cup of coffee with me sometime. You know, outside of the flower shop."

Dunk, pleasantly surprised, set down the bouquet she was holding.

Dunk: "Sure, Joong. I'd like that."

As Joong left the shop, he couldn't help but feel a mix of anticipation and uncertainty. Little did he know, this simple invitation might lead to a blooming connection that went beyond the casual encounters he was used to.

The following day, Joong and Dunk found themselves at a cozy café, surrounded by the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. The air was filled with a mix of nervous energy and genuine curiosity.

Joong, trying to keep things light, flashed his signature grin.

Joong: "So, Dunk, what's the story behind the florist gig? You must have a green thumb or something."

Dunk, sipping her coffee, chuckled.

Dunk: "Well, I've always loved flowers. They have a way of brightening up even the gloomiest days."

Joong, finding himself genuinely intrigued, leaned in.

Joong: "And what about you, Joong? What's your story?"

As Joong shared snippets of his life, he found Dunk's genuine interest both surprising and refreshing. The conversation flowed effortlessly, and Joong couldn't deny the growing connection.

Meanwhile, Pond, aware of Joong's blossoming interest, observed from a distance, contemplating whether to share the surprising revelation about Dunk's identity. The unseen threads of connection were weaving a complex tapestry, and Pond couldn't help but wonder how this newfound connection might impact Joong's playboy narrative.
