Ever since their last conversation, Joong & Dunk have been finding time in schedule for them to hang out and have dinner like the olden times.

How about Friday?

Me:
Summer night shooting.

Chen:
Meung, you're all packed and busy, aren't you?

Me:
Sorry, na. How about next Wednesday?

Chen:
Let me check.

Me:
Okay.

Chen:
I'm free but it's raining the whole day.

Me:
Next Friday?

Chen:
Um... yeah, next Friday works.

Me:
Great, and it's on me.

Chen:
Lol, okay, whatever you say, phi.

Me:
See you then, and don't even think about not coming.

Chen:
🫡

Dunk smiled upon reading that. He was with Pond at the moment. They both wanted to take a stroll down their uni. Dunk had just graduated not too long ago.

Pond took a small peak at Dunk's phone and somehow came across the word phi and decided to tease Dunk with it.

Pond: "So..... what did nong joong say?" He teased. His eyebrows wiggling.

Dunk: "He said yes. We finally got time for each other." His voice couldn't hide the excitement. Pond chuckled.

Pond: "So where are you going?" He asked, curious.

Dunk: "Hmm.... probably the omakaske shop that is 20 minutes away."

Pond: "I don't think I ever had that one."

Dunk: "Really? Why don't you join? Oh, and invite phuwin. It will be a double date."

Pond just let out a nervous laugh. He knows Joong wouldn't like it if he was there thirdwheeling him, and neither did he.

Pond: "Um... no, it's fine. You and Joong go and have fun."

Dunk: "Come on, na." He pleads.

Pond: "Ok, ok! Fine." He agreed giving up.

Dunk smiled upon hearing his response.

Dunk: "Great, next Friday. 6 PM. Don't forget to bring Phuwin."

He said as he walked ahead and Pond at the back, confused scratching his nape.

The Day of the Date

Dunk had already arrived and was waiting for the arrival of his friends. Pond wanted to excuse himself as Phuwin wasn't coming because Phuwin was at a fashion event in Paris. But dunk insisted he came, instead of being alone at home.

Joong soon arrived. Their gazes interlocked. They looked at each other and smiled. Joong soon approached Dunk.

Joong: "Hello." He said, giving a soft smile.

Dunk: "Hi!" He replied back.

Pond soon arrived as well. Pond's arrival left joong quite surprised.

Pond: "I'm here. Sorry, am I?"
