Joong gulps down his drink in one go ....turns around and stares at the man ...that man gets scared....Joong walks out , arriving at the venue where Dunk is being interviewed by many media reporters ...Joong walks past them , Dunk looks at him and calls him
D- Joong!...Joong!...Joong!
Joong ignores him and walks to his car and leaves ....Dunk came running after him with a award in his hand ...Dunk with tears in his eyes , looks at the car speeding away , leaving him alone ...
------------------------------------------------
Joong's condo- It's raining heavily
Joong is sitting in the darkness at the edge of the balcony railing with a bottle in his hands ....Dunk comes from behind ....
D- Joong. What are you doing? Get down.
Joong turns around and chuckles....turns back again looking out ....
J- Finally, you touched the moon. You were looking very beautiful on the big screen with the award.
Joong turns to the side putting one leg inside and chuckles looking at the bottle of alcohol in his hand.
J- Does this bottle look nice in my hands? ......It doesn't. But what to do...... I just can't let go.
Joong gulps down the remaining alcohol , throws the bottle away and stands on the railing ....Dunk walks towards him in fear....
D- Joong.
J- ( chuckles) No, no, wait. After I got my first break without any struggle....I got fame, fortune, status. The world was at my feet. But, I didn't know what to do. I couldn't handle the fame... .nor my senses. That was the condition yesterday....It's still the same today. And it'll always stay that way.
Joong starts walking on the railing ...Dunk runs to him and pulls him inside both fell to the ground .....
D- Joong. What are you doing?
Joong chuckles.... Dunk puts his palm on Joong's cheeks .
D- What are you doing? Why are you doing this?
Joong puts his palm on Dunk's cheek caressing him.....
J- We'll have to end this relation here.Now. Nothing's lost yet. We aren't so close. We can live without each other. You're successful now, Dunk. You've everything. Go, live your life. My habits have scared me. I don't know my future. What I might turn into. How I may treat you. It doesn't take long for one to turn into the devil. So, why should I hold you back? I can't do this.
Joong gets up and enters the living room , to the bar table ... Pouring whiskey for himself ...Dunk walks over to him with tears in his eyes ....crying .
D- Then.. then Leave this habit. Leave it. It's no good. I'll help you.
Joong shakes his head .....
D- I'll help you leave it. Just give me a chance.
J- I can never leave it. It's like a wife, that won't ever leave me alone. So, Listen to me. You'll be happier without me.( gulps down his whiskey)
D- (Walking towards Joong) That means, you can live with this habit, but not me.(turns Joong facing him ) Joong. Love is not a joke.
J- But my life is.
D- But, you had this habit before meeting me too. If you were so scared, why did you come so close? You should've stayed away.
J- ( shouts)Exactly. Until now, I was my own enemy! And before I become a threat to you, just go away!
D- ( crying)Fine. I am going .Away, from you and this success.
Dunk turns to leave but Joong grabs his arm ...
J- Don't misjudge your success. Only a few fortune people get it.
Dunk turns , facing Joong.
D- I know. And also that...sob, you were with me in my bad times...sob. But if you're not with me...sob.. in my good times..sob... Then I don't want it.
Dunk releases his hand away and walks out , wiping his tears ...
