Forever Beside You

Part 6

Joong woke up hearing his mother calling them for dinner. He looked to his side to see a very beautiful sleeping figure next to him. Joong thought how it would feel to wake up with Dunk every morning. A small smile came to his face as thinking.

"Dunk, Dunk wake up. Dinner is ready." Joong shooke Dunk gently by his shoulder. Dunk opened his eyes and looked at Joong a bit confused. It took him few seconds to realise where he was.

"Oh, I fell sleep." Dunk said as he rubbed his eyes.

"Cute." Joong mumbled. It was inaudible.

"What? Did you said anything." Dunk asked.

"No. Let's go. Mae is calling us."

"Ok. Let me help you." Dunk got up from the bed first.

"I can walk fine." Joong said and got up. As soon as he got up he felt dizzy. He was about to fall because he lost balance but Dunk hold him.

"You are sick. Don't be stubborn." Dunk said. After that Joong didn't said anything and let Dunk help him to went down.

The dinner table was filled with happy chatting and laughing. Joong's mother was so happy to have Dunk for the dinner. So she prepared all of Dunk's favourite foods.

"Oh mae, I also came home after long time. But you didn't prepare any of my favourites." Joong complaint as he peeled some shrimp and put them in Dunk's plate. It was just a habbit for them. Dunk doesn't like to peel shrimp so Joong always peeled them for him.

"Oh.. Don't you also like to eat shrimp. That's why I made them. It's both of your favourites." Joong's mother said.

"Mae, don't bother about what he says. He just wants to tease you." Dunk said reassuring Joong's mother.

"Dunk, your parents said they can't attend our anniversary party this year. But you are attending right." Joong's father asked. Dunk nodded while eating.

"Of course uncle. I'll be there."

"Honey, Joke said he'll going to propose to Zo in our anniversary party."

"Ohhooo is he going to steal our spot light from our own party?" Joong's dad joked.

Dunk felt his heart tightened hearing about Joke and Zo again. He tried to show his best smile to Joong's parents. Dunk gripped his spoon tightly in his hand to control his emotions. His eyes already filling with tears.

"Mae, My head hurts again. Can I go to the room." Joong asked his may catching his head in his hands.

"Of course honey. Take your medicine and rest."

"Dunk, can you help me to go to my room?" Joong nudge his hand in Dunk. Dunk came to his senses just then.

"huh? Yeah sure. Let's go." Dunk helped Joong to got up from the table and lead him to his room.

Joong grabbed Dunk's shoulders and turned him towards him as soon they entered the room.

"Are you okay?" Joong asked looking directly into Dunk's eyes. He could clearly see dried tears in his eyes. It pained Joong's heart to see Dunk like this.

"Yes, I'm fine." Dunk tried to lie to Joong. But he knew his voice clearly betrayed him.

Joong hugged Dunk without saying anything and Dunk broke down in Joong's embrace.

"You know what Joong, he told me he's going to propose Zo at the party." Dunk spoke while sobbing.

"He didn't just tell me, he also asked me to help him in preparation. That heartless bastard even asked me to help him." Dunk cried harder and Joong tightened his hug. He rubbed his hand in Joong's back.

"Shhhh, it okay Dunk. Everything will be fine." Joong held Dunk close, letting him pour out his emotions, feeling the weight of his friend's sorrow in his arms.

After sometime Dunk calmed down and broke the hug. He wiped his tears from hands and smiled at Joong.

"You didn't take your medicine. Let me sort it out for you." Dunk took Joong's medicines from the box and checked them one by one. Then he took the pills for Joong. Joong came and sat beside Dunk.

"Here, these are for tonight." Dunk handed the pills and a glass of water for Joong. Then he took glass from him and put it side.

"Thank you for taking care of me Dunk." Joong felt really grateful for Dunk.

"Come here. Let me help you to rest." Dunk made the bed for Joong to lie down. Then he covered him with the blanket.

"Good night JoongJoong." Joong smiled at Dunk's nick name for him. He used to call Joong that when they were kids.

"Good night Dunkie. But don't go until I fell sleep." Joong said holding Dunk's hand and showing his best puppy eyes. It was getting late and Dunk wanted to go home. But he couldn't say no to Joong. So he sat beside him.

"Ok ok big baby. Now sleep." With the help of medications it took only few minutes to Joong to fell sleep. Dunk called his driver to pick him up. He stayed with Joong for about another fifteen minutes and then got up from the bed slowly. Joong was still clinging to Dunk's hand like a cola. Dunk carefully removed his hand and got off from bed. Then he went downstairs.

"Dunk, did Joong fell sleep?" Dunk met Joong's mother at the downstairs.

"Yes mae. I think the medicines are bit strong."

"Are you going home? How are you going back? It's getting late." Joong's mother was worried about Dunk. She didn't want to Dunk to go alone in this hour.

"It's okay mae. I already called my driver. He is already here." Dunk said.

"Ok then. Go back safe. See you soon." Joong's mother hugged Dunk lovingly and Dunk hugged her back. Then he bid goodbye to her and left the house.
