Hold me as tight as possible {JoongDunk & PondPhuwin}

22. Interruption

Dunk's pov:

"Tell me again, why aren't you and Pond a couple yet?" I ask as i wash my hands. Phuwin sighs.
"Well.. It's complicated, you know." He says, leaning against the bathroom wall, looking at me with a very sad face. I dry my hands and turn to face him. I step a little closer.
"Why the sad face?"
"Mm.. sometimes i wonder if that bitch was right.. maybe i am just some fling to Pond.." Phuwin says aggressively massaging his palm with his thumb. He does that when he is anxious.
"No, stop it. Stop the overthinking. Pond likes you, for real. Love takes time. So get your ass up and let's go to English class." I say, pulling Phuwin gently towards me as we exit the bathroom.

Phuwin and I successfully made it to English class before the teacher. We both sit down in our seats. Me and Joong instantly start having a conversation. Phuwin just stays quiet, drowning in his thoughts as Pond looks at his phone. The quietness caught Pond's attention. He was about to say something, but the teacher walked in.
"Morning class!"
Instead of saying something, he decides to put his hand on Phuwin's lap, palm up.
He signals for Phuwin to take his hand. The younger boy happily links their hands.

"It's the first day back after Christmas break, and we already have some shity assignment." Joong whines. I break into laughter.
"It's not funny, i have beef with English. I dont understand anything." Suddenly, a smirk appears of Joong's face.
"Phuwin, you used to live in England, right?"
"Yeah?"
"Well, that means you're the best at English out of the 4 of us, right?"
"I'm not doing the assignment for you." Phuwin says, completely ignoring Joongs begging.
"Pond, tell your boy to help me! Please!"
"Do your own work, you lazy ass." Pond says with an obvious joke.
"Fake ass friends.." Joong mutters to himself. Making everyone laugh a little.

Im basically half asleep at lunch. Pond and Phuwin are talking and laughing, enjoying their moment. Joong disappeared somewhere, and im third wheeling. I stand up, whisper something to Phuwin, and make my way down the very long and cold halls of our college.
I open the door to my favorite place in this whole college, the art room. I sit down at my spot and stare at my half finished painting of the sea. The door opens, and Joong sits next to me.
"Phuwin told me I'd find you here."
I slightly nod at that. Joong adjusts himself on the stool and looks at my painting.
"It's gorgeous.. yours?"
"Mhm.. it isn't finished yet, tho."
"Can i see it when you finish it..?"
I smile.
"Of course!"

I continue my painting of the sea. I need to add more detail and do the shadows.
Joong looks around in obvious boredom. Plus points for trying to keep me company.
I sigh.
"Do you want me to draw you?"
Joong turns his head to me in shock.
"You know how to draw people?"
"Yes, im actually much better at drawing humans than objects!"
A huge smile appears on the younger boys face.
"I'd love you to draw me!"
I move my canvas and pull a chair in front of me. I pat on it.
"Come sit here."
We both get comfortable.
I start by measuring his head shape.
Planned out where to draw his eyes, nose, and lips on the paper. Soon after, i start making small lines on the paper.
Carefully thinking every stroke through to not mess up the whole portrait.
"Please make me look handsome." Joong says.
I start laughing so much that tears start to come out of my eyes.
"What, i got to make sure you get the good side of me."
"There is no good side for you." I say with sarcasm.
Joong drops his smile and looks at me in a funny way.
"And i considered you one of my closest friends." We both laugh.
Suddenly, i realize.
"You consider me one of your closest friends..?"
"Well.. yeah, you and Pond. Both of you are very dear to me. And of course, i can't forget Phuwin. You know, im not that much of an extrovert. So it's hard for me to make friends, but ever since i started hanging out with you, Pond, and Phuwin, I've felt more... how do i say this? More loved, i guess."
I stay in silence.
Joong chuckles.
"I know this so stupid and cringe, but like for real, thank you."
I give him a soft smile.
"You are also very dear to me."

I completely forgot i was supposed to draw Joong.
"Ah, where were we?"
"Oh yeah, you were supposed to draw me. No, but for real, please dont make me look ugly." He says jokingly.
"I won't. I won't. Dont worry."
I manage to get his head shape, as exact as possible.
I move my pencil closer and closer to his face. About 10 centimeters away. Our eyes are on the exact same level. I shape his eyes and color them in to give him life. I get even closer to measure the size of his lips. In a matter of seconds, we have barely 5 centimeters between us. Almost making our lips touch.
We both look at our lips and eyes on repeat. Suddenly, joong's phone rings. He breaks eye contact by taking his phone from his pocket.
He looks at the screen and then back at me.
"I gotta go, see you.." he says as he answers the call, leaving the classroom.
What the fuck is wrong with me?
Fuck..
