ACCIDENTAL HUSBANDS 2 // JOONGDUNK//

I TREAT HIM DIFFERENTLY

Phuwin walked to Pond and Dunk who were walking towards the class building.

"Hi!" he greeted them. Dunk nodded while Pond fist bumped with him.

"I want to warn you guys." Phuwin said. "Don't enter the class so soon."

"Huh? Why?" Dunk asked confused.

"Your friends Third and Nut are bullshitting about you and Joong."

Dunk looked confused. "But they are my friends." He muttered.

"Dunk, it's better to ignore them rather than arguing with them." Pond held his shoulder.

Dunk nodded in agreement. "Fine. Thanks for the heads up." He turned to Phuwin and smiled briefly.

"Anytime dude. Are you... ok?" he asked.

Dunk nodded briefly. "Uhm, I need to use the washroom, I'll be right back." He left hurriedly taking long steps.

"You were right; he is very sensitive." Phuwin turned to Pond.

"That's why I asked you to let me know if there is any problem in class. How is it with Joong?"

"Almost the same. Just that he is not scared or sensitive. He is afraid, he will punch someone hard and then there will be consequences." They both chuckled.

"Do you know their parents discussed with them about getting a divorce later?" Pond asked recalling his discussion with Dunk last night.

"Yeah. That is at least a year after the wedding. They need to make sure the stake holders are not displeased about the relationship being on and off too soon." Phuwin said explained as per his discussion with Joong.

"Yeah. Uncle Gosin said that's the only thing possible if they are too unhappy about it." Pond said. "But about what you have been telling me...?" he then asked skeptically.

"I am sure about it to an extent. I know Joong very well. Even if he doesn't know it yet. After all I have heard him talking in his most drunk state, most unconscious state, most disturbed state and sleeping state as well. I am 99% sure about this since high school."

"I too believe it. Not only Joong but Dunk is in it too. I have observed it. Just that he hasn't realized it yet." Pond shook his head pressing his lips.

"Don't you ever talk to him? What kinda friend are you?"

"I do. But not much. I don't want to make him feel manipulated."

"Crazy. They have the best chemistry." Phuwin chuckled.

"I know right. Am tired of their pretence of hating each other." Pond said annoyed.

Phuwin nodded. "So now what shall we do?"

"Let's just try to make sure they talk to each other at least."

"Hmmm..."

"Let's try to make them bump into each other as many times as possible. Until the ice breaks between them." Pond said to Phuwin who smiled and nodded.

"Deal."

--- JOONG---

As soon as I entered the class, all eyes landed on me. I ignored it and walked till my bench. Dunk and Pond were still not in. I had left the parking after they left. But maybe they did not go to the class immediately. I could hear people murmuring looking at me. The ones who never even dared to look me in the eye were now eyeing me. Some were laughing.

"Ignore them." Phuwin said pulling my bag from me. "It's good that you finally showed up. We have a quiz today." He said.

I wasn't used to any of this. So I did not say anything and kept my head straight.
