PREDATOR

CH 4 - JUST A COINCIDENCE

After school, Dunk quickly packed up all his things, his hands busy with his mouth as he spoke to Phuwin sitting next to him, looking urgent as if someone was chasing him.

"I'll go home first, remember to take the bus home carefully."

"Where are you going?"

"The new collection is out, I want to buy it."

Phuwin shook his head and watched his friend leave. Seeing Dunk carefully browsing Apollo's new collection at noon was enough to know that his friend would quickly go buy it.

Dunk drove out of the school gate, leisurely heading towards the store he often visited, simply because this store quite suited Dunk's style of dress.

Dunk walked around the shop, then stood looking at the smooth silk shirt. When he reached out to take it, he accidentally touched someone's hand. That person seemed to want to take the shirt too. Dunk was startled and withdrew his hand. His first reflex was to look to the right to see who was next to him. His eyes lit up with surprise because it was Joong, the person he had seen in the photo this morning.

The scent of grapes suddenly appeared from somewhere and wrapped around Dunk's nose. He stood there for a few seconds because he didn't think Joong would appear here. This scent made him guess that it must be a grape-scented alpha.

"Ah... Sorry... Coincidentally, I also wanted to see this model... I won't bother you anymore... I'm going."

Before Dunk could react, he saw Joong smile and follow the staff inside. Only after he left did he move unconsciously. His brain kept repeating his words over and over again. Dunk's mind now kept hearing that deep voice. Remembering the image of him wearing a pair of black dress pants and shiny leather shoes, with a black shirt on top that he saw Apollo update to the product list this morning, Dunk once again exclaimed that Joong was very attractive. He himself was fascinated by his voice, face and expression.

The attentive shop staff saw that Dunk had been standing in front of the clothing counter for a while and immediately ran over.

"Mr. Dunk, is there anything you would like to ask?"

"The shirt you were wearing just now is the company's new model, right?"

"Yes, he is also a model for my company's latest collection."

Dunk nodded slightly, wondering if he was a model, no wonder his body and face were so attractive.

"Get me some black samples of that new collection."

"Yes, Mr. Dunk, please wait a moment."

The waitress bowed her head happily, then invited Dunk to sit at the counter to wait for the packaging and payment. During the entire waiting time, Dunk's mind only remembered that person named Joong. When he was browsing the information this morning, he heard that everyone said he was very cute, which added another point of favor in Dunk's eyes. Peeking through the glass window, Dunk saw Joong shaking hands with the owner and smiling, an indescribable friendly smile that made Dunk curse silently in his heart.

Damn it! Joong Archen must be yours.

------------------------------

Dunk waited until Joong walked out the door before the staff called him to pay. Carrying several bags of stuff, he was so engrossed that he didn't notice that when he turned around, he accidentally bumped into Joong.

"A..."

Dunk was startled and cried out, and several designer bags fell to the ground. He sat down and felt someone bend down beside him to help him pick up his things.
