Abrupt Encounter [Joongdunk]

1. consumed by darkness

“pond can’t you walk a little faster?”

Dunks voice suddenly rings loud in ponds head, and he realizes that he is far behind from his best friend, well in his defense he got a lot going on in his mind, there are myriad tormenting thoughts in him and as much as he tries to ignore it or not let it out, he knows that its practically impossible, especially around his best friend who will eventually find everything out

Pond knows what he got himself into, he knows those predators won’t leave him from now on, he should’ve quit earlier, maybe that way there would’ve been a chance of salvation, maybe he could diminish the probability of what’s now inventible

his death.

“come onnn” dunk cuts his blazing thoughts again this time pond  responds

“yeah am coming” pond sighs and runs to dunk and starts walking by his side, dunk immediately looks at him with questioning yet worrying eyes, pond sighs again. He doesn’t want dunk to know about all of this dishevelment going on in his life, last thing he wants is to get his best friend down in grave with him, he can’t tell him anything it is for dunks sake!

“nahh nothing I was lost in thoughts for a moment “dunk raises his eyebrow, he knows pond for years that man can’t lie for good, at least he can always tell, and this past few months pond has visibly changed, his usual carelessness, Sammy comments and Liveliness has become more and more minor, dunk can tell that, he missed his old cheerful friend

“you know uni is loaded with assignments lately and I got to work too so not so much free time…”  dunk can also tell that his best friend
doesn’t what to share whatever it is that’s bothering him, dunk has tried to talk to him many times hoping pond will share his burden with him and possibly feel better after, what if dunk can help pond find his old self, and not be tense like this every day.

dunk wants to help in every way that he can, at least pond can just tell him about it that alone can make pond feel a little better right? But he probably doesn’t want to do that, if he wanted to he had many chances before, dunk doesn’t want to push him even more and make him uncomfortable, it seems like pond doesn’t want to tell so what can dunk do? He will wait until pond will be ready to share whatever that’s on his mind, something that had been evidently affecting him in the worst ways possible, so in the end dunk just nods his head and stays silent, that’s all he can do for now.

After few minutes they have already reached dunks condo that’s pretty near to their university, they settle is couch intending to rest first, it’s been a long freaking day and both of them are very tired, so without saying anything much they know that they will take care of their assignment work later, like they always do after good meal and some proper rest.

But today something is interrupting them, while they are peacefully eating due to their exhaustion, ponds phone suddenly startles them. as pond reluctantly looks at his phone his sturdy face immediately radiates fear and trepidation, at the same time, seconds later, he looks like he remembered something, he looks at dunk and gives him a bitter, forced smile. Fear on his face is changed to Obedience to his own fate, he knows what will happen and he has no power to stop it,

it’s too late.

Instead of answering his phone, he looks at dunks confused face, he should say something to him at least give him a shallow explanation so that dunk won’t be left in nothingness, so that he will not blame himself

“aren’t you gonna answer that”

“dunk I got to go” pond cuts short and by his face expressions, dunk just can’t handle it anymore wants wrong with him?
