My Best Buddy 🌻 [ JOONGDUNK ]

Chapter 17.

Author's POV.

"No, you are not"
"Why are you saying that?"
Joong tried to assure Dunk

"You are not difficult to love Dunk. You are an amazing human being. You are kind and caring."

"Then why do I always get so unlucky when it comes to love"
Dunk asked in tears.

"Sometimes bad things may happen to good people too but that doesn't mean you are in fault here. Please don't blame yourself."

Joong stated

"Dunk, look at me. Why are you saying all this?"

Joong lifted Dunk's face and cupped his face.

"But he said that" Dunk almost said in an inaudible voice.

"Who? Who said what?"
Joong was now pissed at the person who said these mean things to Dunk.

Dunk was crying and talking at the same time.

"Austin, he..... (sobs).... He said that I am difficult to love. I can make no one happy."

Before Dunk could talk further Joong cut him and said.

"But that's not true. You make people happy.
You make me happy. I am the happiest when I am with you."

Dunk looked at Joong with tears in his eyes.
Joongs words were making him cry more.
But not with sadness but happiness.

Just then he remembered today's incident.

"That guy today. He said he just wanted a quick fuck from me"
Dunk said sobbing again.

"That asshole, I already told you he is not a good person."

"Listen to me carefully Dunk"

"What they say about you or do to you is not a reflection of who you are but it's a reflection of who they are."

"If they say bad words to you or do bad things to you, it's not because you are a bad person. It's because they are bad."

Upon listening to Joong's words Dunk realised that Joong was indeed right.

"Can I hug you?" Dunk asked looking softy at Joong.

Joong just nodded and put Dunk in his embrace.

They both stayed like that for some time.

Before going out. Joong decided to drop Dunk home.

When they reached in front of Dunk's condo.
Instead of getting out Dunk turned towards Joong and said

"Joong, thank you so much for today. It really means a lot. I really needed to hear those words."

Joong smiled and just replied

"You don't need to thank me for anything."

Dunk got out of the car and Joong too got out to see him off.

Dunk was looking like he wanted to say something but at the same time was hesitant to say it.
But at last he thought he should just say it.

"Joong.... Do you want to stay here today?."

" I mean you don't have to, only if you want to as I don't want to be alone today."

Dunk was slightly blushing saying this.

"Umm sure I can stay."
Joong said.

Joong was curious about one thing though. He made a mental note to ask Dunk about that thing later today.

Both of them went to his place.

They both decided to watch something to change their mood a bit.

Dunk was a big kdrama lover and watching kdramas always put him in a good mood.
