A Portrait Worth a Thousand Memories✅

EP 7

"It looks like someone got some action last night." Pond couldn't help but take a jab at Joong when he saw him for lunch. He didn't know why but Joong looked a lot different than usual. He was more relaxed and less tense. Like he finally stepped into himself and not carry the weight of the world. Pond wondered what happened last night for Joong to have such a big difference and the only explanation that came to mind was Joong got laid. The thought of it got Pond snickering within. He really was lucky that he needed to catch up with Joong on some work related matter. This was such interesting gossip that he just had to tell Phuwin later. 

"Nope... I worked and slept. That's all I did." and dreamt the best dream of my life. Joong couldn't say the last part of his sentence. Pond would think he was crazy or he was just too dry to be having wet dreams. He don't know if he would be able to argue if he said that. Maybe he did need a break. 

Pond narrowed his eyes as he looked at Joong, assessing whether he was telling the truth. Joong tried his best to stare back with the most honest and earnest look. Pond shook his head and let it slide for the time being. He knew he would be able to get it out of him sooner or later.

Joong woke up in a ballroom. It seems to be some sort of social gathering or function that he was attending. There were many locals and foreigners mingling around. He finally caught sight of who he was most interested in meeting in his dreams. 

Dunk

He was dressed in the dress shirt and long pants that he saw in the very first portrait that he came across of Dunk. Dunk's eyes brighten when he saw Joong but he was reserved in his approach since they weren't alone. Mid way through their chat a foreigner approached Dunk asking if he could take a picture of him. Dunk agreed. That's when Joong realized that Dunk was in the exact same pose as that portrait he saw. The foreigner continued to asked if Joong mind if he took a picture of him to which he too agreed. But Joong was greedy, he wanted to ask if he could take a picture of both of them but Dunk's warning look said it all. He was afraid for him if they did. He longed for a memento like this where he can see both Dunk and him together. When Dunk was busy catching up with someone else, Joong had once again approached the foreigner for his contact and asked for a printout of Dunk's picture. If he couldn't have a picture of Dunk together with him, at least he could have a picture of Dunk for keep sake. The foreigner agreed wholehearted. He was delighted that someone was interested in his photography.
