The next day, Joong found himself standing outside Dunk's florist shop, his heart pounding with nervous anticipation. Taking a deep breath, he pushed open the door and stepped inside.

Dunk looked up from arranging a bouquet, a warm smile lighting up his face as he saw Joong enter.

Dunk: "Hey, Joong. What brings you here today?"

Joong cleared his throat, his nerves getting the better of him as he struggled to find the right words.

Joong: "Can we talk, Dunk? It's important."

Dunk's smile faltered slightly, concern flickering in his eyes as he sensed the seriousness of Joong's tone.

Dunk: "Of course, Joong. Let's go to the back room where it's quieter."

As they retreated to the privacy of the back room, Joong felt a knot forming in his stomach. This was it, the moment he had been dreading and yet eagerly anticipating.

Joong: "I... I need to be honest with you, Dunk. About how I've been feeling lately."

Dunk's brow furrowed in concern; his gaze locked on Joong's with unwavering attention.

Dunk: "What is it, Joong? You can tell me anything."

Joong took a deep breath, steeling himself for what was to come.

Joong: "I've been feeling... jealous. Ever since I saw your ex at the shop, I couldn't shake off this feeling of anger and insecurity.  I care about you, Dunk. More than I possible thought."

Dunk's eyes widened in surprise, his expression softening with understanding. He remained silent, allowing Joong to continue.

Joong: "Seeing you with someone from your past made me realize how much I want to be a part of your future. I want to be with you, Dunk. More than anything."

Dunk's gaze softened, a mix of emotions flickering across his face, but he stayed quiet, processing Joong's confession.

The silence stretched between them, heavy with anticipation and unspoken emotions. Joong's heart raced as he waited for Dunk's response, his palms clammy with nervousness.

Joong: "Dunk, please say something. I need to know how you feel."

Dunk met Joong's gaze, his eyes reflecting a whirlwind of emotions. He took a moment to gather his thoughts before finally speaking.

Dunk: "Joong, I... I don't know what to say."

Joong's frustration simmered beneath the surface, his patience wearing thin as he yearned for clarity.

Joong: "Dunk, you can't just leave me hanging like this. I poured my heart out to you, and you won't even give me a straight answer?"

Dunk's expression softened, a hint of remorse in his eyes as he realized the impact of his silence.

Dunk: "I'm sorry, Joong. I didn't mean to frustrate you. It's just... I need time to sort through my feelings. This is all new to me, and I don't want to rush into anything."

Joong's frustration boiled over, his disappointment evident in the tight set of his jaw.

Joong: "Fine, Dunk. Take your time. But I can't keep waiting around for you to figure things out. I'll see you around."

With that, Joong turned on his heel and stormed out of the back room, leaving Dunk alone with his thoughts. As he made his way out of the florist shop, a wave of frustration washed over him, mingling with the lingering hope that their shared confession would eventually lead to something more. Little did he know, this moment of frustration would only serve to strengthen his resolve, setting the stage for a future filled with clarity, understanding, and perhaps, a chance at true love.
