ONE MONTH [JOONGDUNK]

Chapter 9.

Author's POV

Dunk was hoping atleast someone would believe him.

He looked towards Joong in hope of some support.

"Phi... Jo.... sorry I mean Joong sir. I didn't really do it. I got it from your favourite restaurant. I didn't even knew what we had on today's menu."

"Wait....You can call and check with the restaurant. About what I ordered."

Dunk felt a little ray of hope.

Joong asked P'Jack to call the restaurant immediately as this was a serious matter to him.

"The restaurant confirmed that Dunk didn't order anything with peanuts."

P'Jack told everyone.

Jia felt like she was losing the moment. So she intervened.

"What if you ordered that? You could have got that for yourself and gave Joong a different one."

"Joong was in the room whole time. No one but you entered the room. How is it possible for someone else to do this?"

Jia tried to gain the momentum to her side.

Dunk was also puzzled because of this. Because it's true that only he entered the room.

"Wait... I wasn't here the whole time.
I didn't go out of the room but I went to the restroom for 5 minutes."

Joong realised that just now.

"Come on Joong, 5 minutes isn't a long time."

Jia tried to put the blame on Dunk again.

"When did you leave the room?"
P'Jack asked.

"Umm it was after filming the vlog. Just end credits were left to film. I went to the restroom before filming the ending." Joong replied.

"5 minutes is indeed a short time. Unless someone planned it in advance. It's not possible to do something like this in 5 minutes "

P'Jack said after thinking.

Joong also started thinking about everything.
Trying to find any information which could help them.

On the other hand Dunk was almost in tears.

Nothing has gone right for him since the day he had joined this company.

Problems after problems. He endured everything until now but today when he was being accused of something he didn't even do, his patience was decreasing.

Just then Joong realised something important.

His face lit up a bit when that thought came into his mind.

"Do you find something Joong?"

P'Jack asked.

"I think I might have."

He said looking around for something.

He finally stopped when his gaze fell upon his camera.

" I left after vlogging but I guess I left the camera on for the five minutes because I still had to film the ending I thought I would just edit out the empty part later.
So if something happened in those five minutes. My camera must have recorded that."

Dunk's face has an expression of hope. He couldn't help but feel thankful for Joong.

"Joong.... We don't need to see that. Why are you thinking so much? Just kick him out."

Jia started to whine.

"Jia. Enough. You have been saying a lot of things since the beginning. I tolerated it because I thought you were trying to help me but I guess that's not the case, you just want to see Dunk getting fired."
