Joong is eagerly waiting for Dunk on the couch in the living room..Phuwin approaches him...
PW- Hi!
J- Hi!
PW- You're dying to wait by the window...Check if he called and Walk around restlessly...You're not fooling anyone with this pose...
J- What? Me? Why? I'm totally chill...I'm cool!
'Ting-tong'
Joong stands up immediately....
J- I think someone's at the door...
PW- Go... He's here.
J- Yeah.
Joong runs to open the door excitedly....He calms himself for a minute and opens the door.
J- Hey,Hi!
D- Joong.
Dunk approaches Joong to give him a hug but Joong grabs his hand and removes his jacket..
J- Hi... Cold outside?
D- ( Chuckles)What's wrong with you?
J- Didn't bring any wine? Flowers? Thorns? Nothing?
D- Should I have?
Joong grabs his arm and pulls him towards the living room.
J- Phuwin! .....Dunk.
PW- Hi ..( Phuwin hugs Dunk)
D- Hi!
PW- Welcome home... So Dunk...
J- ( Interrupts Phuwin)So nice to meet you...Heard so much about you...All good things, I hope!
Joong imitates making both Dunk and Phuwin awkward....
PW- Joong......What.....
J- No , I was just trying to ease the tension in the 'Vaatavaran'
Phuwin taps Joongs arms....
PW- Get a hold on yourself...The 'tension' will disappear?( Phuwin touches Dunk's shoulder) Come on in ...
Phuwin places his hand on Dunk's waist taking him inside leaving Joong
J- I know how you two can be!
PW- Sexist remark... Not appreciated!
D- Not at all!
PW- Give our intelligence its due!
D- Definitely.
PW- Come ( Phuwin takes Dunk to sit on the couch in the living room...They sit opposite each other and Joong joins Phuwin and puts his hand behind Phuwin) Wine?
D- Maybe later...
PW- Oh, okay...
D- But, Phuwin...Beauty like yours often overshadows intelligence...Ask those of us who live off our personalities...
PW- Beauty fades, Dunk...But Death, himself, can't kill personality...
D- Wow... So the poetry really was yours! I thought Joong was just copying it off the internet!
PW- (chuckles)If it weren't for poetry....I'd have died a thousand living deaths already...
J- Wah! Cheese?( Joong asks Dunk signalling with his eyes)
D- Thanks..( taking a piece of cheese) Well.....Will I sound phony if I praise you some more?
PW- ( Leans back in Joong's arms) Not at all...Please go ahead...No judgments!
D- Pictures do you no justice...You're even more beautiful in person.
PW- Oh, so those pictures were to show you hmm?...( looks at Joong)
J- They were to make her jealous...( replies to Phuwin)...but why waste envy on the resentful?
D- Wow, Joong...( chuckles) Phuwin, Looks like you've had an influence...
PW- A bit of it...A bit to go.( Phuwin rests his head on Joong's shoulder)
D- ( Chuckles) Well. It's not envy...But you can't sing to a mute person...and expect them not to feel inferior!
PW- ( Chuckles) Speaking of singing...This is my favourite song...
"O lover, don't ask me to love like I did before..."
D- O Iover, don't ask me
Dunk nods and repeats the lines but Joong completes it looking at Dunk
J- To love like I did before.
Dunk and Joong stares at each other for a while ....Phuwin understand the atmosphere and asks dunk ...
PW- Dinner?
All of them are at the dinner table ... again Phuwin and Dunk facing each other and Joong beside Phuwin.
PW / D- Bread?
D- No, thank you ..
J- Sure?
Dunk nods....
PW- Why didn't you bring Pond?
D- Actually, He had a concert... S0...
J- DJ Pond's busy, you see...
D- ( chuckles)Why do you keep calling him that? Like it's an insult...
PW- Not at all!..Who doesn't dream of making people dance on their fingertips?......Dunk, may I ask you something personal? If you don't mind...
D- Sure...
PW- ( looks at Joong) How did you not fall in love with someone so charming?
D- ( Looks at Joong , Joong raises his eyebrows ) Charming for you, maybe...He was a big baby when I met him...He cried on the streets, cried in my arms...
PW- Really?! ( turns to Joong)Joong... Is this a compliment or a slight? You've never cried in my arms...
J- How could I cry in your arms....when I'm so distracted by my other feelings...( Joong hugs Phuwin and kisses his cheek)
Dunk smiles and looks at Joong ...Joong stares back, slightly nodding at him ...Dunk feels awkward and looks down silently eating his dinner ...Phuwin looks at both of them and understands the situation ......Like that the dinner is complete .
