Rendezvous

Past

"Accepting our past is the only way to keep it from haunting us; only then can we walk freely into the future without its shadow."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's weekend, Today Dunk joong and First Khao are going for double date, Dunk is getting ready when his hand land on some box, Dunk face expression changed seeing that box. He take it out and open it and lost in some thought.

Khao saw it and he went toward him, "Dunk, you ok?" 

Dunk came out of that zone and looked at khao, "Yes, I am ok" Saying this dunk close that box and as he about to put it back to his place, khao stop him.

"Dunk, Don't push yourself. If you are not ready then let's cancel it. Your comfortable is much more important for me than anything else." Khao said, He know Dunk has been hiding his feelings for years, He don't want dunk to get hurt.

Dunk turn around and take khao's hand in his "Khao, I am fine, I really am. And It's been 10 years, You really think I should hold on him, he must have forgotten about me till now. Khao, I want to move on, and joong is the good guy, he is my type and I like him" Dunk said.

"You like him because he is your type, or you like him because he resemble someone else, Dunk I know It's been years but the place that person hold in your heart is still same. As a friend I am advising you, Don't find someone to replace someone else if you want that person to stay, Give him another place. If you really want joong to stay in your life then don't see him as replacement, See him as he is. Dunk to start anything new you need to finish old one first." Khao advised Dunk, As he noticed dunk started to overthink, khao shake him. 

"Dunk, relax. Take your time, I am not asking you to move on in a blink. I am saying you can't move on holding your past. Trust your feeling and If you feel Joong is the one first thing you should do is tell him everything. Ok?" Khao asked and Dunk nodded.

As they went to Rendezvous, Hunter told them to go upstairs where Joong and First are waiting for them.

"Hey, You guys are finally here. Come have a seat." Joong invited them to sit, they all sat in circle, and have their drinks.

"Guys let's just leave past in past and focus on present. Can we all start fresh?" First ask looking at khao. 

Both khao and Dunk looked at each other before nodding.

"Umm, I will start. My self Natachai Boonprasert, you can call me Dunk. I am from wang Nam Khiao. I am well known stunt artist." Dunk gives his introduction.

"My self thanawat ratanakitpaisan also known as Khao or Khaotung. I loved in Kanchanaburi. I am an writer." Khao tells them.

Both Joong and First introduce themself.

"So How actually, you guys know each other?" First asked them.

"We both trained from same company, there we met each other for first time and became friends, Since then we were together." Khao explained.

"What about you two?" Dunk asked

"We were from same school, actually all four of us, beside our department were different so I mean although we knew each other for long, we became friends few years ago when we work under same company." joong explained.

As the evening deepened, the interactions between them grew warmer, laughter and curiosity replacing the guarded smiles they'd started with. Dunk, feeling more at ease, nudged Joong with a playful grin. "So, aside from showing up like a superhero, what else do you do to impress people?" Joong chuckled, leaning back as he shrugged. "I guess I have a talent for saving people from themselves." His eyes lingered on Dunk, a subtle warmth in his gaze that made Dunk's heart skip a beat.

Across the table, First noticed Khao's hand resting on his drink, his fingers tracing the glass absently as he listened. Gently, First reached out, nudging Khao's hand. "You good? You seem a little lost there." Khao looked up, slightly surprised but smiling at First's attention. "Just... it feels strange, you know? Being here, moving past... everything."

First held his gaze, sincerity shining in his eyes. "Strange, but good, right? We all deserve a fresh start." Khao's smile grew warmer, a silent acknowledgment of the understanding that had sparked between them.

As they laughed and shared their stories, they felt the weight of their pasts loosen, like stones gradually slipping from a bag. There was a lightness that hadn't been there before, a feeling that this night, this company, was somehow helping them leave behind the old scars and make room for new memories. The past still lingered, but it was beginning to fade into the background, replaced by the possibility of new bonds—bonds built on shared understanding and a willingness to move forward.

Khao noticed how dunk's reactions change, Khao understand Dunk want some space and khao suggest First to go on a walk.

After First and khao went Dunk stand up and looked at sky. He is bit lost and Joong noticed it.

"Dunk, is everything ok?" Joong ask worriedly, Joong by far know when Dunk is overthinking, or he is nervous.

"Yeah, I am fine, Joong What's the story behind that bracelet?" Dunk noticed a bracelet in Joong's hand. Since he saw it, it looks familiar but he can't pit point what it is.

 "Oh this, It symbolize Falcon, my spirit animal. What's wrong?" Joong asked confused.

"No it's just, it looked familiar, that's why I asked. Leave it." Dunk said, Joong looked at Dunk confused before turning to look at sky.

At bar

"You..." Both of them shouted in Unisom
