Forever Beside You

Part 13

It's been two weeks since their trip to the beach. Joong and Dunk could be seen in every occasion together to the point that others thought they were dating rather than courting.

On the other hand Dunk could see the effort Joong take to court him. Every day Joong would bring him a gift when they meet. Always take him out for meals. Dunk realised that Joong loves him as much as he loved Joke. And he realised he no longer has feelings for Joke.

Dunk was readying for the bed when he got a call from Joong.

"Teerak, I miss you so much." Joong said and Dunk chuckled hearing Joong's whinny noise.

"We just met in the afternoon." Dunk said as a matter of fact. Joong invited him for the lunch that day. After lunch they went to the park and ride bicycles. Joong wanted to have dinner together but Dunk had promised to his parents to come home for dinner.

"It's been several hours. So I miss you." Joong said. Dunk could say that he was pouting with just the voice.

"Ohhoo, you behave like a baby." Dunk teased Joong.

"Only with you." Joong said and Dunk couldn't say that he wasn't shy. For the last two weeks Joong didn't miss any chance to fluster Dunk.

Even though Dunk didn't want to tell Joong, but he also missed Joong. It's only two weeks that Joong started to court him but Dunk already was so used to him in his life. Joong had become an integral part of his daily routine, and the thought of not having him around was now foreign and unsettling.

"Dunk, I have to tell you very important thing. Can we meet tomorrow?" Joong asked.

"Is this another excuse to meet me tomorrow?" Dunk asked as he remembered Joong said different excuses to meet Dunk all those days.

"No no Dunk. I'm serious." Joong said.

"Okay okay. I'll meet you tomorrow." Dunk said. At this point he also wanted to meet Joong. Within last two weeks Dunk realised that his feelings towards Joong was not just friendship. He may not love Joong as much he did to Joke. But he could clearly see that he was getting there. He didn't like Joong as a friend anymore. So Dunk decided that he was ready to give their relationship a chance.

"I'll see you tomorrow then. Good night teerak."

"Good night Joong."

After hung up the phone Dunk laid on his bed. He thought of everything that happened with Joong last two weeks. Joong was always sweet with Dunk. He always said and did sweet things. He never let a chance to slip off to flirt with Dunk. Dunk always ended up blushing while with Joong. Dunk smiled to himself remembering those things. He never knew Joong had this kind of side. May be Joong always had this side but he only noticed that now. Dunk couldn't wait for the next day. He fell asleep thinking of Joong.

Next morning Dunk got ready to meet Joong. He wore a simple white shirt with camera patterns in it and black pants. He knew he look good. Then he took his digital camera with him.

Joong came to pick him from his house. He was leaning into his car when Dunk came out. Dunk surprised to see Joong with a big rose bouquet in his hands.

"Wow, Joong. You are being so extra today." Dunk said as he take the bouquet. He was red like the roses in his hands.

"Just feel like it. Get in." Joong opened the car door for Dunk. Dunk sat in the car and Joong took the wheels. Joong helped Dunk to put the seat belt as he couldn't do anything with the rose bouquet in his hand.

Dunk was expecting them to go to a nice restaurant, but to his surprise Joong brought him to a art gallery.

"Joong why are we here?" Dunk asked.
