A shoulder to lean on ( Joongdunk)

Part :04

"Boom, have we finished the interior design for the PPTI Corporation?" Mix asked his junior, Boom. But there was no response. "Ai,Boom, Boom! Can you hear me?" Mix waved his hands in front of Boom's face, who was lost in his thoughts. Mix sighed and pinched him with a drafting pen.

"Ouch... Phi, what are you doing?" Boom snapped back to reality.

"I've been calling you for a while. You seemed lost in your world. So, I pinched you."

"Sorry, P'Mix. What were you asking?"

"I was asking about the final design report for PPTI Corporation," Mix replied.

"It's done, P'. I've already emailed you the soft copies. You can check."

"Okay, I'll give it a final check."

"Hey Joong, how many rounds do you have left? Don't forget about your afternoon schedule," Tan reminded.

"I've only raced for two rounds. You're already thinking about the afternoon? It's only early noon, bro. Calm down," Joong replied.

"I have to remind you because you act like a forgetful uncle," Tan teased.

"Oi, oi, don't forget. All the girls drool over this forgetful uncle," Joong said with a grin.

Tan slapped him on the shoulder. "Stop messing around, you brat. You should find a partner ASAP. Look at me, a stable relationship can change anyone's life."

"Yeah, change to have a sulking husband sleeping outside," Joong cut him off.

"Ai saat, I won't give you relationship advice anymore. Now go and finish. I can't be your backup today."

"Hello, Dunk. What's up, buddy? Are you coming today? Don't miss it, buddy. I miss you a lot. I want to celebrate my happiest moment with all of you," Drake's excited voice came through the phone.

Dunk felt a sharp pain in his heart. "Okay, Drake. I'll definitely join you guys. See you this evening. I'm busy right now." Dunk hurriedly ended the call. He didn't know how to handle the situation. He sat on the floor, feeling overwhelmed.

"So this is how it feels to be dead inside while you're still breathing. I knew this day would come, but nothing or nobody can prepare you for this storm. I wish I never met him. I wish I never fell for him. I wish my life wasn't so pathetic. I wish..."

Dunk cried on his knees, sobbing like a helpless child. He had never felt so hurt in his entire life.

"Where is Dunk?" Lengso asked the maids.

"Khun Dunk is in his room," one maid replied.

Lengso hurried to Dunk's room. "Dunk, open the door." He knocked, but there was no response. He checked the lock and found the door open. "Dunk, where are you...?" Seeing Dunk sleeping on the floor, Lengso felt a pang of sadness. Dunk's tear-stained face told him everything he needed to know.....
