Days passed, and Dunk's condition improved steadily. However, being cooped up in the chamber had left him feeling restless and bored. Joong noticed Dunk's eagerness for some activity and decided to suggest a change of scenery.
Joong: "How about we go to Serenity Springs?"
Dunk's eyes brightened with interest at the mention of the place.
Dunk: "Serenity Springs? Where's that?"
Joong smiled, knowing Dunk would enjoy the outing. He began to explain the significance of Serenity Springs, recounting the legends surrounding it.
Joong: "Our Serenity Springs was blessed by the ancient dragons with powerful healing properties. When one immerses themselves in the waters of the spring, the magic infused within the liquid accelerates the body's natural healing processes, allowing injuries to mend at an astonishing rate."
Dunk listened intently, fascinated by the tale. The prospect of visiting such a mystical place filled him with excitement.
Dunk: "That sounds amazing! When can we go?"
Joong chuckled at Dunk's enthusiasm, glad to see him in high spirits.
Joong: "We can leave whenever you're ready. Let's go enjoy some fresh air and relaxation."
Joong led the way through the winding paths surrounded by lush greenery, Dunk following closely behind, marveling at the natural beauty of the surroundings. The air was filled with the soothing sounds of chirping birds and rustling leaves, adding to the serene atmosphere.
As they approached Serenity Springs, Dunk's anticipation grew. The sight of the crystal-clear water shimmering under the sunlight filled him with wonder.
Dunk reached out his hand, tentatively touching the surface of the water. Instantly, he felt a tingling sensation, as if the healing aura of the spring was reaching out to him.
Dunk: "Wow..."
Joong watched Dunk's reaction with a smile, pleased to see his companion's amazement.
Joong: "Let's take a dip, shall we?"
Dunk glanced around at the tranquil waters, blushing a little, then turned to Joong with a hesitant expression.
Dunk: "Do... we have to remove our clothes?"
Noticing Dunk's blush, Joong couldn't resist teasing him, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
Joong: "You don't have to, but if you insist, I don't mind."
Dunk rolled his eyes playfully at Joong's response before deciding to take the plunge. With a grin, he submerged himself in the rejuvenating waters.
When Dunk resurfaced, he couldn't resist the urge to playfully pull Joong into the water with him. Joong emerged, sputtering and laughing, before retaliating by splashing water back at Dunk.
Dunk: "Hey!"
Joong smirked, enjoying the playful banter.
Dunk: "All right, Crown Prince, game on!"
With that, Dunk and Joong engaged in a spirited splash battle, their laughter echoing through the tranquil surroundings as they enjoyed their time together at Serenity Springs.
As their splashing fight grew more intense, Joong grabbed Dunk's hand and pulled him, causing Dunk to end up in Joong's embrace. They looked at each other, their faces inches apart.
Dunk blushed, Joong blushed too and quickly released Dunk.
Joong: "Sorry, I didn't mean to—"
Dunk: "It's okay, Joong. I... I didn't mind."
Their eyes met again, and for a moment, the world around them seemed to fade away. The connection between them grew stronger, surrounded by the magic of Serenity Springs.
