Joong was surprised when he saw Dunk coming out of the shower early in the morning. He looked at the clock only to realized it was 8am on a Saturday morning.
"Why are you up this early?" Joong asked in his husky morning voice.
"Sleep. I'm heading out for family breakfast. My family and Phu's always get together biweekly. They did invite you but I told them you would be tired from your trip." He gave him a sniff kiss after. Joong's eyes light up at what he said.
"Wait for me, I can go." He wanted to meet Dunk's family.

Joong had been excited until the moment he was at the gate of Dunk's family home. Dunk had given his hand a squeeze in reassurance.
"Pond, Phu, Gem and Fot will be here, so don't worry." Joong nodded in relieve. Both of them greeted everyone in the Dunk and Phuwin's family. Dunk had introduced him to Phuwin and his family members. It was then that he got to know that Dunk and Phuwin's father were twins, which was why their family meet up often and also why Dunk was so close to Phuwin and Gemini. Apparently, it ran in the family.
Joong could feel the pride within him when Dunk introduced Joong as his faen to everyone. All in all it was a pleasant meeting, Joong felt very at ease with Dunk's family with the help of Dunk, Phuwin and Pond. Gemini and Fourth couldn't help but tease them a little. There really was no awkward moment.
"It was really nice meeting you, Joong. I'm glad that Dunk has you as his faen. I hope to see you more often." Dunk's father said, to which Joong promised he will if his schedule allows. Joong was beaming when he left. He felt great that he had left a good impression with Dunk's family and to have their blessing and acceptance just warmed his heart. He shouldn't be surprised since Phuwin and Gemini has Pond and Fourth as their respective faen but it just felt different when it came to his turn. Dunk smiled at him when they got to the gate. Dunk was sending him off. Joong gave him a sniff kiss before whispering huskily to his ear, "Don't you want a repeat of yesterday night? Do you wonder how it would be like to spend a day like that in bed?" Dunk chuckled.
"Why does it feel like you've done this many times before?" Dunk asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I've only ever done it with you." Which wasn't technically wrong, it's just dream Dunk and real Dunk. As Dunk was about to respond, both of them were surprised by the loud ringtone from Joong's handphone.
Joong had not expected his aunt to call. The moment he picked up the call, he could hear his aunt's loud boisterous voice booming through, "What is this that I hear that you have a faen from your cousin?! They got to know from social media! Why aren't you telling me anything nowadays? You better be introducing that faen of yours to us this evening! If the next door neighbour sees him before I do, you will regret it!" She hung up before he could answer. He looked lost but Dunk chuckled.
"It's okay, Joong. I guess it's meet the family day."
***
Joong had no idea that almost all of his relatives will be there when he walked into her aunt's house. Dunk had wai-ed at them politely. Dunk handed his aunt a basket of fruits. He felt odd to be coming for a visit with nothing in his hand. All of them were smiling a little too wide to Joong as they looked at Dunk.
