Melodious Fate

Part 24

As the days leading up to their album release approached, the members of the group realized that their schedules were about to get packed. They would be swamped with promotions, interviews, and performances once the album dropped, so they needed a break before the storm hit. After discussing it, they all agreed on a two-day camping trip to escape the busy world they were used to and enjoy some time together in the peace and quiet of nature.

The camping trip was the perfect solution. Not only would it give everyone a chance to unwind before the chaos of the album release, but it would also provide Dunk and Joong with some much-needed privacy. The couple had been trying to keep their relationship under wraps, especially with the tension surrounding their secret. The trip would allow them to be themselves, without the fear of being watched or judged.

They had difficulties to took permission from Phi tha but they managed as he thought joong and dunk are not in the relationship anymore

Dunk was relieved when the idea was proposed. The thought of two days away from the pressures of the industry, and more importantly, away from the prying eyes of the company, felt like a brief but necessary escape. Joong, too, felt the same. He knew the camping trip would offer them a chance to relax, without the weight of hiding their feelings for each other hanging over them.

The planning for the camping trip was filled with excitement, and the members prepared for a couple of days of outdoor fun. They were all eager to get away from their usual routine and spend time in a more carefree environment. Joong and Dunk, though they tried to act like everything was normal, couldn't help but feel a little excited at the thought of having some time alone with each other, even if it was in a group setting.

As they sat around the campfire later that night, roasting marshmallows and chatting, the members began to feel more at ease. There was no rush, no agenda. They could just enjoy the moment. Dunk and Joong, though still careful to avoid giving too much away, couldn’t help but share lingering glances and subtle smiles.

Later, after the others had gone to bed, Dunk and Joong found themselves lingering around the campfire, still talking in soft voices, not quite ready to call it a night. The night sky above was vast and beautiful, the stars twinkling like diamonds in the distance.

Joong:
I'm glad we came here
Joong said quietly, his eyes meeting Dunk’s.

Dunk:
Yes me too
It’s nice to have some time away from everything. From the pressure.

Dunk chuckled softly, his heart racing at the thought of what they were doing—what they were becoming. The secret was heavy on his shoulders, but in moments like this, it almost felt worth it.

Dunk:
It’s nice. Just us

The moment stretched between them, an unspoken connection growing stronger. For the first time in days, they felt free. There were no cameras, no expectations, just the two of them and the quiet of the woods surrounding them.

The next day, the camping trip continued, and Dunk and Joong were able to steal a few private moments amidst the group activities. Whether it was a hand brushing against the other’s, a soft whisper shared in the midst of laughter, or a look that spoke volumes, they were more open with each other than ever before. They knew that their time was limited—soon, they’d be back to the whirlwind of promotions—but for now, they were together, in their own little world

Dunk:
Joong... can we ever spend time like normal couple??

Joong:
I promise one day..... we will
