Abrupt Encounter [Joongdunk]

5. Blooming affinity

“at least one of us can walk around  freely now”

“shut up joong you’re bleeding”

Dunk rips part of his own shirt and carefully circles it to joong’s neck and holds the piece of cloth there with his hands to stop the squirting blood, then he looks at joong’s eyes and his fuming riled melts away instantly, something about his eyes makes dunk feel like he is drowning in them, dousing every disturbing thoughts at that very moment, the thoughts that always torture him, and he has to admit that he loves the feeling , feeling of begin held by the other person through their engaging eyes, joong’s eyes, that speak volumes for him and he just realizes how much he likes to reach to unification, connection just by looking at them affectionally

And he feels more guilty that joong is even here, why does he have to be here with dunk and only by all casualty, he didn’t do anything - so as dunk, but just being pond’s friend by itself is the reason why he is here - but it must be such burden for joong, what if his family is going crazy looking for him? And he is here fallen into hostile fortune

Dunk will do everything to help him, he feels guilty that joong is stuck with him and along with that he is getting harmed for nothing

“no need to look that frightened, it’s just a little scratch am not gonna die” joong tries to smile

“I hope so” dunk responds, he settles next to joong and keeps his hand to his neck pressing the cloth to the cutted skin

“does it hurt?” dunk can’t help but ask again, he doesn’t like expression on joong’s face who is trying to hide his stitch to make dunk think that he doesn’t need to worry, but it doesn’t work

“not the best sensation, but I can bear it” joong insists

“okay” and dunk gives in

“dunk I think I definitely know what they are working about “ dunk looks at him with a questioning face, how can he know that?

“what do you mean, you were here all the time” dunk queries

“I knew that they are drug dealers the second I saw his face clearly, have you seen it? I know the face of constant drug addicts, it is terribly damaged by that substance, and that man’s face was screaming it, his dry red eyes, bumped nose and skin that was covered in sores, and he certainly looks mad, like some maniac, as it seems his saneness is lacking and cause of all of that is drugs “ joong said completely surely

“I saw that, but I didn’t think that far, nevertheless that makes a lot of sense” dunk responded while cleaning his neck that was covered in blood, finally it stopped bleeding

"Do you think pond consumed it too?" joong asks dully

"no am absolutely sure that he didn't, he would never go that far despite anything" dunk says, his voice holding confidence of his own words, and joong just nods.

As the night time approached the room fell into previous darkness that both of them hated, the feeling of being in this vast room without seeing anything was choking them, making them feel solely and lone, so they kept their conversation going to feel the presence of the other person

dunk was sitting in the same place that he was sitting on for days, particularly far away from joong but still on the same side of the room as him, his bleeding has stopped and dunk circled the piece of ripped shirt cloth around the cut on his neck

"don't you think your family is desperately looking for you?" Dunk asks after a while of squatting back to the near column to press and straighten his back on it while sitting on the dusty floor
