TRAID PARADOX//JOONGDUNK, PONDPHUWIN

Joong has always been the one Dunk admired from a distance.

Quiet, strong, and unknowingly gentle-Joong made it too easy for Dunk to fall.
But Joong's eyes were never on him.
They were always chasing Phuwin-soft-spoken, delicate, and untouchable.

Yet even Phuwin, the one Joong loves, seems drawn to something he never says out loud.
Drawn to Dunk.

And Dunk?
He's stuck in the middle.
Watching Joong reach for someone else,
While Phuwin watches him.

Only Pond, his closest friend, sees the slow unraveling-the smiles that don't reach his eyes, the silence that aches louder than words.

In a fragile triad where no love is returned quite the way it's given,
Every heartbeat becomes a contradiction.
Every glance... a quiet confession.

Because sometimes love doesn't fall into place.
Sometimes it spirals-
a beautiful, bitter loop of longing.

A paradox.

A Triad Paradox.
