After the dinner , Joong walks out with Dunk to see him off
D- You got lucky. Joong! Phuwin's wonderful...... Anyway. Thank you for dinner.
Dunk tries to hug Joong goodbye .... Joong pushes him harshly with anger .
J- Go to hell? ....'Thank you for dinner'?!..... You're soulless!... Don't you have any feelings?! ....Not jealousy.... Not guilt... Nothing?!
D- ( raising his voice) I feel everything, Joong! But you'd never understand if I told you...You'd just misconstrue it all! You're a goddamm child! You've got everything! Goals, passion, a relationship...Why are you still so stubborn?!
J- ( Joong shouts) Because I am! I'm stubborn because it's my heart! What are you going to do about it?!
Joong pushes Dunk ... Dunk looks at him tiredly and tries to walk away but Joong grabs Dunk's both arms tightly ...
J- Why can't you love me?
Dunk cups Joong's face...
D- I do love you, Joong...Just not the way you want me to...( Dunk cries)
J- why?
D- I can't... Please...( Dunk puts his forehead to Joong's forehead) I don't want to be selfish, Joong-
J- Get lost.( Joong turns around) Get lost ....
Dunk looks at him for a while ,crying ... then walks away ....

Phuwin is changing into pajamas to sleep , when Joong returns and hugs him from the back putting his chin on Phuwin's shoulder.Phuwin smiles , puts his hand on Joong's cheek , turns around and hugs him tightly....Then he moves away from the hug and strokes his cheeks.
PW- It's over, Joong. It's over. I lied( Tears in his eyes)...First to you...then to myself.( sits on the bed) I lied that I don't have place for love...(looks up to Joong) I'm falling in love with you, Joong...And today, I finally understood that you can never love me....the way you love Dunk...And still...I love you...What do I do?
Joong kneels down to Phuwin's level.
J- Phuwin, you've always known...
PW- No....No, Joong....I can't do this, Joong...I've been down this road...It's broken me once before...
J- Phuwin...
PW- Joong, ( Tears rolling down his eyes) Please don't try to change my mind...If you try...I'll give in...If I give in...I'll fall apart again...We can't choose who to fall in love with...But we can choose when to walk away. Go, Joong. Go...
Joong stares at Phuwin for a while then walks out of his house thinking something for a while ....He walks over to the other side and starts running .....He runs and runs till he reaches the hotel Dunk is staying in ....He walks over to his room and knocks on the door calming himself
J- Okay , it's okay .....
Dunk opens the door ....Joong grabs his hand and pulls him outside the room .....He holds Dunk's hands looking down and crying .
J- Let me go. Please...Please... let me go...I can't go on like this...So I have to go, okay? Okay?!I have to go...If I can't do it......then you have to be the stronger one.Okay? Okay?
D- Okay.( Dunk nods and cries)
Joong leaves Dunk and comes out of the hotel ....Dunk looks at Joong's back crying .....Joong is in sooooo much pain now ....He sits under the lamp post crying ...
Dunk returns to his room ,approaches Pond (who is in the balcony,smoking ) and hugs him with tears in his eyes.
