Episode 25

Dunk couldn't shake off the unease he felt as he watched Joong getting closer to Prim. He'd heard rumors about Joong's flirty nature and how he never seemed genuinely interested in anyone. But seeing him cozying up to Prim made Dunk's stomach churn with discomfort.

The next day, Dunk found himself alone with Joong, an opportunity he couldn't let slip by. Confronting Joong about his intentions was something Dunk felt compelled to do. He needed to know if Joong was playing with Prim's feelings or if there was something more genuine behind his actions.

"Hey, Joong," Dunk called out, his tone more serious than usual. "Can we talk?"

Joong glanced at Dunk, a smirk playing on his lips. "Sure, what's up?" he replied casually, though Dunk could sense an undercurrent of tension in his demeanor.

Dunk took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts before plunging into the conversation. "I just wanted to ask you about Prim," he started, his voice steady despite the nerves fluttering in his stomach.

Joong raised an eyebrow, a flicker of amusement dancing in his eyes. "Prim? What about her?"

Dunk's frustration simmered beneath the surface as he continued. "I've noticed you've been spending a lot of time with her lately," he said, trying to keep his tone neutral. "I just want to make sure you're not playing with her feelings."

Joong's smirk widened, and Dunk could feel his irritation growing. "Why do you care so much, huh?" Joong's tone was challenging, as if daring Dunk to reveal his true feelings.

Dunk clenched his jaw, trying to keep his composure. "I don't care about anyone," he retorted sharply, though he knew it wasn't entirely true. "But Prim... she's different."

Joong's gaze bore into Dunk's, and Dunk felt a surge of frustration and helplessness. Why was he so worked up about Prim? What did she have that made him so protective?

Before Dunk could formulate a response, Joong closed the distance between them, trapping Dunk against the wall with his hands on either side. Dunk's heart raced as he met Joong's intense gaze, feeling a mixture of anger, confusion, and an unsettling attraction.

"Why are you so worked up for Prim?" Joong's voice was low, his breath ghosting over Dunk's skin. "What does she have that's making you so attracted to her, huh?"

Dunk's mind raced, his thoughts swirling in a whirlwind of emotions. He struggled to find the right words, feeling the weight of Joong's presence bearing down on him.

"I-I..." Dunk stuttered, his voice barely above a whisper as he tried to make sense of his feelings. But the words eluded him, lost in the intensity of the moment.

The air crackled with tension as Dunk and Joong locked eyes, the silence echoing between them like a deafening roar. In that moment, Dunk realized that his feelings for Prim were more complicated than he'd ever imagined, and his unresolved emotions for Joong only added to the confusion.

As they stood there in the quiet, their unspoken words hung heavy in the air, leaving Dunk feeling more conflicted than ever about his tangled emotions and the uncertain path that lay ahead.

As Joong's finger delicately lifted Dunk's chin, Dunk's breath caught in his throat, his heart pounding with a mixture of anticipation and confusion. The seductive tone in Joong's voice sent shivers down his spine, stirring something deep within him that he couldn't quite decipher.

"Do you really like her, or is it something else?" Joong's words hung in the air, each syllable dripping with intrigue and a hint of mischief. Dunk found himself momentarily lost in Joong's gaze, the intensity of his eyes pulling him in like a magnet.
