Joong was relieved to see Prince Dunk sleeping in his dreams. He was covered in bandages but at least he was alive. Joong felt the heartache within dream Joong. He held Prince Dunk's hand in his and kissed his palm before caressing it with his face. He was surprised when he felt a twitch in his finger. He eagerly waited for Prince Dunk to open his eyes before rushing forward to hug him.
"I thought you'd die. Don't you dare leave me. Don't you ever die on me." Dream Joong sobbed. The fear of losing Prince Dunk was so palpable to Joong. Prince Dunk had laughed despite his pain.
"I'm bai loong (white dragon), 9th Prince of East. How can I die this easily? They say I have 9 lives." It was a joke that Prince Dunk had told Prince Joong after the many perils they encountered in their journey but none was as bad this round. They did not expect humans to be trapped in the game of destruction. They were under a spell that made them zombified. They couldn't kill them since they weren't inherently evil. Dunk couldn't risk Prince Joong's life with what he was about to do since he is the Crown Prince. He urged Pond to bring him to safety along with his trusted advisor, Phuwin. They were childhood friends akin to brothers. He couldn't risk his life in anything that he does. He tried to buy them time with the melody of the flute but it can only hold on for so long. Once they were out of sight, he pushed them back with a harmless force with both palms before sitting on the floor cross legged. He conjured a guzheng, the vibration from the sound waves was a lot stronger than the flute as Dunk infused his qi into the music. He finally found the source that trapped those poor human souls.
"Pò (break)!" He strummed all the strings on the guzheng at a go, a force like an arrow headed straight to the source of the curse. The humans collapsed once the curse was broken. But it revealed the two mystical creatures involved in this game- Fei the god of disaster and a three headed lion. He won't be able to take on both of them.
"Qilin!" he shouted before whistling for his trusted companion. He came flying at his call, ready to fight alongside him.
It was a fierce fight among the four of them. Dunk threw a force arrow at the three headed lion, giving Qilin a chance take it out but Fei was a force to be reckon with. Dunk was forced to transform to his true form, using all the strength within him to defeat Fei losing himself to unconsciousness in the process. Qilin had brought him to Phuwin after the battle. The three of them were shocked at the state that Prince Dunk was in. Phuwin had spread the healing salve on all of the wounds and bandaged Dunk. It seemed to Joong that it was a natural occurrence to him. Joong once again saw Phuwin giving Dunk a glowing pill though it was different in colour. Joong was curious when dream Joong thought nothing of it.
"Where's Qilin? How is he?" Dunk asked in concern after informing dream Joong what had transpired. Prince Dunk's worry for Qilin was apparently cute to dream Joong.
"Your pet?" Joong asked as he showed him where he was.
"He's not my pet. He's my companion." Prince Dunk pouted. Dream Joong finally laughed after days of being worried about whether Prince Dunk will live through the night. Prince Dunk had chuckled along with him.
In that moment, dream Joong knew he couldn't live without him. He caressed his face before kissing Prince Dunk on the lips. Prince Dunk gasped at his sudden action. Dream Joong dipped his tongue in and explored his mouth. It took a while for Dunk to respond, a dance between tongues ensued before Dunk pushed him off him.
"We can't, tai zhi dian xia (Crown Prince). You are the Crown Prince of the North. Your marriage is sealed the moment you were born." Prince Dunk looked at dream Joong sadly. It was the fate of being the heir to the throne. His life was never his to control nor will his marriage. It will never be a marriage for love but for convenience and diplomacy between kingdoms. Dunk understood this as he carries the royal blood within him. He didn't have to carry the burden that dream Joong did. He had more freedom with the many siblings that he has. But it didn't matter to dream Joong, the possessive nature that ran within the blood of a dragon only saw the need to make Prince Dunk his. He kissed Dunk gently on the lips, sucking his lower lips before letting go.
"Be mine until the time comes." He whispered. Prince Dunk knew that he could not resist dream Joong's allure. It was a losing battle since the day they met.
Joong sighed as he woke up just before it got to the good part. He couldn't blame his cousin this time since it was the alarm that rang. He had an early shoot today. The last before he goes on a break. But all that lingered in his mind was dream Joong's and Prince Dunk's last kiss. He couldn't believe how real their kiss was and how good it felt to kiss Prince Dunk. He shouted into the pillow as he remembered what they were about to do before he woke up. His face red with embarrassment but he yet he wished he could have witness more and to feel it as dream Joong. He covered his face as he worked through the contradicting feelings within him. There was a tiny part in him that wondered how it would feel like if he were to kiss Dunk his world.
Would it be possible to have a relationship with his Dunk?

A/N: 🤭🤭the last scene🤣🤣 Joong, Joong...
I think dream Joong's thought would be along the line of: As if I would let you witness that with my Dunk. 🤣🤣
Here's a pic of Dunk's true form:
Actually if I'm not using Dunk's cosplay pics... I think this would be the closest to how I imagine how he would be in his human form. I think he can carry this look:
Joong's human form though the shape of the horn isn't quite right. Joong's dragon form will come later:

FanfictionJoong saw Dunk by the window. It was love by first sight but he didn't know how far their shared history intertwined. PondPhuwin supporting the plot. Fantasy AU, C drama vibe. *Heavy angst with happy ending
