Abrupt Encounter [Joongdunk]

9. uttered admire

dunk sits on the couch in pond's and phuwin's apartment after five days, he feels empty, all his life he never thought he would long this deeply for someone's presence, but that's exactly what's happening to him

He realizes how much meaning joong has gained inside him, how everything in him is craving joong's presence, joong's company, just his nearness, He realizes how achingly he has fallen in love and how badly he regrets not saying it out loud for joong to hear, but he promises himself that when he sees him again it will be the first thing he utters, he already imagines how he will hug him, seek his closeness because he is afraid that it might never come again

What if he is being harmed again? Maybe his neck is already healed, how lonely and scared will he be there? Dunk shouldn't leave him, oh he misses him awfully, worries about him immensely, until all the emotions overwhelm him and his mind starts creating big knots, and joong is not here, by his side, the only person that can make him feel cheered and courageous, make his doubtful mind lulled and composed - the only person that knows how to - person who knows about his trouble, the person that he loves terribly until it hurts that he is away from him

"DUNK" phuwin's voice cuts through his thoughts and he immediately looks up, pond has apologized so many times already that dunk felt bad himself, he understands his best friend in some ways but he can't argue with phuwin who is still slightly mad at his boyfriend, as much as dunk feels bad for pond he knows that he deserved it, yet pond looks visibly sorry and dunk has already give in to him, but he needs to have joong with him that's all he can think about

"dunk I have never seen you like this, what did that boy do to you" this time pond talks, and dunk glares at him

"sorry, I told you that am gonna make sure he is fine, I promise I will get him out somehow, consider it as my apology" pond said looking at dunk

"right pond but it's been five days, please I need him" dunk says feely, and pond looks at phuwin shocked, is he hearing that right... when did dunk become like this?

"please pond tell me how, how did phuwin let you free, how can I help him? Please they might harm him again" dunk talks so desperately yet faint, pond's eyes widen at the unfamiliar plead from his best friend, pond is now looking at phuwin with surprise and phuwin frowns his brows, silently implying something with nod

"dunk they are not killers it's not that serious, I asked them for money, all they care about is money and drugs, they are not gonna kill your boy"

"god pond, stop calling him my boy"

"phuwin, I really want to see his boy now, who made you blinded with that much love that you plead me to save someone I've never seen" pond smiles, he hasn't smiled for so long "I think you have to thank me at this point"

"shut up" phuwin gives him death glares, as he never seen dunk so sad and low before, this doesn't seem right. pond gets the importance of the stranger that is seemingly so special for dunk, so he shuts his mouth from uttering Unseasonable jokes

"am not asking you to save him, just tell me how, what should I do" dunk covers his face with opened hands

Pond gets closer to him "I told you all they want is money they are not gonna keep someone who is not bringing them any of it, your boy is useless for them if he is not gonna accept to work as their order "

Dunk hasn't looked up, still burring his face in his hands, pond felt smack on his arm - phuwin hit him

"pond, what are you saying!? you are gonna make him worse" phuwin whispers fast on his ear, pond looks at him confused "you're so stupid" phuwin whispers again, more irritated, pond face paints more confusion and when they are arguing with their eyes suddenly dunk speaks
