Joong returned to his chamber and gazed at Dunk sleeping peacefully. He lightly stroked Dunk's face and placed a feather-light kiss on Dunk's forehead.

Joong whispered softly, his voice barely audible.

Joong: "We'll figure this out, Dunk. I promise."

Feeling the absence beside Dunk, Joong lay down beside him, keeping a watchful eye on his peaceful slumber. He couldn't help but study Dunk's face, his heart heavy with the weight of their shared secrets, until sleep finally claimed him.

The next day, Dunk slowly stirred, his eyes fluttering open to find Joong beside him, his gaze filled with longing.

Dunk: "Joong? Why are you here? What happened to me?"

Joong looked at Dunk with a tender expression, his fingers lightly caressing Dunk's cheek as he sought to reassure him.

Joong: "You had a headache yesterday. You needed rest, so I stayed by your side."

Dunk felt a surge of emotions as Joong's words washed over him. He was touched by Joong's care and concern, but beneath it all, he sensed something more—a warmth that stirred feelings he couldn't quite understand.

Under Joong's intense stare, Dunk began to feel a tinge of embarrassment creeping up his cheeks.

Dunk: "Joong..."

Joong leaned in closer, his smile playful and mischievous.

Joong: "Yes, Dunk?"

Dunk hesitated, unsure of how to articulate the whirlwind of emotions swirling inside him.

Dunk: "Why do you keep looking at me? Is there something on my face?"

Joong's smile widened, his tone teasing as he leaned even closer to Dunk.

Joong: "Oh, there's definitely something on your face... beauty."

Dunk's cheeks flushed crimson, and he quickly sat up on the bed, attempting to compose himself.

Dunk: "Joong, you're... you're behaving oddly."

Joong mirrored Dunk's actions, sitting up slowly with a playful twinkle in his eyes. He couldn't resist teasing Dunk a little further.

Joong: "Oh, am I? I just can't help myself when I'm around you, Dunk."

Dunk's embarrassment only seemed to fuel Joong's mischievous demeanor. Joong couldn't help but find Dunk's flustered reaction utterly endearing, and he continued to tease him with a playful grin.

Joong: "Come now, Dunk, don't be shy. I'm just stating the truth."

Dunk's cheeks burned even brighter, and he struggled to find the right words to respond to Joong's playful banter.

Dunk: "I... uh... Joong, you're making it difficult to... to think straight."

Joong's grin widened at Dunk's stammering response, finding Dunk's flustered state utterly adorable.

Joong: "Well, who needs to think straight when we can have this much fun?"

Dunk let out an exasperated sigh, but there was a hint of laughter in his voice despite his embarrassment.

Dunk: "You're incorrigible, Joong."

Joong's playful expression softened into one of genuine warmth as he reached out to gently cup Dunk's face, his thumb tracing over Dunk's flushed cheek.

Joong: "Perhaps I am, but only when it comes to you, Dunk."

Dunk's breath caught in his throat at the tender gesture, and he found himself momentarily lost in Joong's mesmerizing gaze. There was something undeniably magnetic about Joong's presence, something that drew Dunk in like a moth to a flame.

Dunk: "Joong... I... I..."

Joong's thumb continued to trace gentle circles on Dunk's cheek, his expression filled with sincerity.

Joong: "You don't have to say anything, Dunk. Just know that I'm here for you, always."

Dunk felt a warmth spread through his chest at Joong's words, and he couldn't help but lean into Joong's touch, his heart fluttering with a newfound sense of connection.

Dunk: "Thank you, Joong... for everything."

Their eyes locked in a silent exchange, each wordless moment filled with unspoken understanding and a burgeoning affection that neither of them could deny. In that fleeting moment, Dunk and Joong found solace in each other's company, their bond growing stronger with each passing heartbeat.
