Nine Tailed Fox and The Dragon (joongdunk fanfic)

Moonlit Conversations

Meanwhile, Dunk was in Joong's secret base, intending to wait for Phuwin there. However, to his surprise, Joong showed up instead, carrying two small jars of wine in his hands.

Dunk: "Oh, Joong?"

Joong smiled warmly at Dunk, his eyes reflecting a mixture of emotions.

Joong: "Surprised to see me?"

Dunk nodded, a puzzled expression on his face.

Dunk: "Yeah, I was actually waiting for Phuwin. Did something happen?"

Joong hesitated for a moment, his gaze lingering on Dunk.

Joong: "Phuwin... had to attend to some urgent matters."

Dunk: "Oh, it's okay. I will hang out with him next time."

As Dunk began to prepare to leave the secret base, Joong reached out and took hold of Dunk's hand.

Joong: "How about a drink?"

Dunk's eyes widened a little in surprise.

Dunk: "We can drink?"

Joong: "Why not? It's my secret base; nobody will know."

Dunk quickly sat down on the grass patch, intrigued by Joong's proposal.

Joong handed one of the jars to Dunk, who accepted it with a curious look. They sat together on the grass, the soft glow of the moonlight casting a gentle light around them.

Dunk: "I didn't know you had wine here."

Joong: "I keep a few things hidden away for special occasions."

Dunk nodded, taking a sip from his jar. The wine was smooth and rich, its flavor spreading warmth through his body.

Joong watched Dunk quietly, his gaze thoughtful.

Joong: "Dunk, you seem to be spending more time with Phuwin lately."

Dunk: "Phuwin's been helping me with some things lately."

Joong: "I see."

Joong took a sip of his wine, contemplating Dunk's words. He felt a pang of jealousy gnawing at him, but he pushed it aside, trying to maintain his composure.

Joong: "It's good that you have someone to rely on."

Dunk nodded, taking another sip of his wine. He sensed a subtle shift in Joong's demeanor, but he couldn't quite pinpoint what it was.

Dunk: "Yeah, Phuwin's been really helpful. But you know, you're still my best friend, Joong."

Joong's smile faltered slightly at Dunk's words. Despite the warmth in his voice, the term "best friend" stirred an ache in Joong's heart. He had hoped for something more between them, something deeper and more profound than mere friendship. Yet, he couldn't let his disappointment show.

Joong: "I'm glad to hear that, Dunk. You've been a great friend to me too."

He forced a smile, masking the twinge of longing he felt deep inside. Despite his inner turmoil, he knew he had to cherish the bond they shared, even if it wasn't exactly what he desired.

Dunk nodded, seemingly oblivious to Joong's inner turmoil, and they continued their conversation, the night enveloping them in its tranquil embrace.
