Hours had passed, and the fan meet was finally coming to an end. The energy in the venue was still electric, Dunk stood beside Joong, his face glowing with happiness as he waved at the remaining fans.
Dunk had been overwhelmed by the amount of love he received. People kept telling him how much they adored him, how beautiful he was, and how perfect he and Joong looked together.
Dunk couldn't stop smiling. The happiness in his heart was bubbling up, and it reflected in his eyes.
Fans had taken pictures, some had even given him small gifts, and every time someone expressed their love for him, Dunk would turn to Joong, his eyes sparkling with excitement, as if to say, Joong, look! They love me!
Joong, standing protectively beside him, had been watching Dunk the entire time. His heart swelled with pride, seeing how naturally Dunk connected with people.
As the last few fans finally left, Dunk turned to Joong, his shoulders dropping slightly, a small sigh escaping his lips.
Joong immediately noticed and stepped closer, his voice gentle.
Joong:
Baby, are you tired?
Dunk nodded, rubbing his eyes slightly before looking at Joong.
Joong chuckled softly, reaching out to cup Dunk's cheeks, rubbing them lightly with his thumbs.
Joong:
Okay, just a little longer, and then we'll go eat something, alright?
Dunk blinked up at Joong, his lips forming a soft pout.
Dunk:
You promise?
Joong smiled, his heart melting at Dunk's cuteness. He leaned down and pressed a quick kiss on Dunk's forehead.
Joong:
I promise.
Dunk smiled brightly again, holding onto Joong's sleeve like a child.
Behind them, their friends were watching with amusement.
Pond:
Look at them. He's so whipped
Phuwin:
Yes he is
Gemini:
It's cute, though. Look at phi Dunk-he's glowing
Joong turned his head slightly, narrowing his eyes at them.
Joong:
Are you guys gossiping about us?
Pond smirked, crossing his arms.
Pond:
Nope. Just admiring true love
Joong rolled his eyes playfully but held Dunk's hand tighter.
Joong:
Alright, let's get going before my baby falls asleep standing
Dunk giggled, leaning against Joong's side as they started walking.
And even with the exhaustion setting in, Dunk wouldn't trade this day for anything.
Pond:
Okay Phuwin and i will reach soon at the hotel and dunk don't eat without us okay?
Dunk:

Pond:

Joong:
Hey hey my dunk is not Naughty okay?
He will wait for you both
Phuwin:
Okay we'll come back soon
The streets of Japan were glowing neon lights...Joong, Dunk, Gemini, and Fourth strolled along the bustling roads, searching for a good place to buy food to take back to their hotel.
Dunk walked beside Joong, their fingers intertwined as if they were afraid to let go. Joong, unable to resist, stole small kisses on Dunkâs temple, making the boy giggle shyly.
Gemini:
Phi Joong, do you two ever stop?
Fourth:
Itâs like theyâre glued together
Joong smirked and pressed another soft peck on Dunkâs cheek, causing Dunk to gasp and lightly shove him away.
Dunk:
Joonggg! Stop embarrassing me in front of everyone.
Joong:
Why? Youâre mine. Iâll kiss you whenever I want.
Dunk huffed and playfully stuck out his tongue.
Just then, Gemini pointed excitedly toward a cozy restaurant.
Gemini:
Phi! That place looks good. Letâs buy food from there
Joong nodded, leading Dunk inside while Gemini and Fourth followed.
Joong let go of Dunkâs hand and turned to the menu.
Joong:
Baby, what do you want to eat?
Dunk, still fascinated by all the food, scanned the restaurant with curious eyes.
Dunk:
Anything is fine, Joong⦠Iâll eat whatever you eat
Joong smiled and ruffled Dunkâs hair.
But before he could respond
BUMP!
A man collided into Dunk, spilling a cup of steaming hot coffee all over his chest.
Dunk:
Ahh, Joong!
Joong immediately spun around, his expression shifting from soft to sharp in an instant.
Joong:
Baby, are you okay?!
Dunk whimpered, gripping his shirt where the hot liquid had soaked through. His eyes watered from the sting.
Joongâs gaze snapped toward the man who had bumped into Dunk, his jaw clenching in anger.
Joong:
Canât you watch where youâre going?â
The man mumbled something and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Joong wanted to chase after him, but Dunkâs pained expression made him stop.
Joong:
Come with me, love. We need to clean this before it burns
He gently led Dunk toward the back of the restaurant where the restrooms were.
Inside the restroom, Joong wet a handkerchief and carefully dabbed at Dunkâs stained shirt.
Joong:
Does it still hurt?
Dunk shook his head slightly, forcing a small smile.
Dunk:
Itâs okay now, Joong
Joong:
Good. Let me just-
WHACK!
A sharp pain exploded at the back of Joongâs head. His world spun. His knees buckled, and with a groan, he collapsed onto the cold tiled floor.
Dunk:
Joong!!!
Before Dunk could react, a rough hand grabbed his arm and yanked him backward.
A tall, masked man held him tightly, dragging him toward the back exit.
Dunk:
LET ME GO!!
But the man was too strong.
Joong, lying dazed on the floor, forced his heavy eyelids open. His head throbbed, but the sight of Dunk being dragged away made adrenaline kick in.
Joong:
DUNK!!
Dunk kicked, trying to free himself.
Dunk:
HOW DARE YOU TOUCH MY JOONG!!
He managed to push the man for a second, but another masked figure appeared, grabbing his wrist and pulling him harder.
Joong tried to scramble to his feet, his vision still blurry.
Joong:
LET GO OF HIM, YOU BASTARDS!!
But before he could reach them, one of the men slammed the back door shut and locked it.
Joong banged his fists against the door, his heart hammering in his chest.
Joong:
DUNK!!!
But Dunk was gone.
