Chapter 23 : The Beginning of Happiness [Finale]
"From now on, I hope that there is only happiness in our life. I know the future is full of mystery, but I think we're gonna work out everything that blocks our way into happiness. As long as we are holding each other's hand tightly, and walk in this unknown road called life, together."
-Joong-

[Author's PoV]
When they lips touch for the first time again after three months and two weeks, it all feels like the first time again. Words can't describe how they feel right now. The sadness from the past, longing, love, thankfulness and relieveness all over the places and it just just from a kiss.
The softest from Dunk's lips always make Joong's heart beat in a very chaotic way. Only Dunk Natachai Boonprasert can make him feel this way, it's only him, it has to be him . And for Dunk, when he feels those lips on his lips again, with still the same feeling like the first time they did this, he feels so free and elated. He feels like a caged bird that can finally fly away. Joong always makes him feel this way.
"Kiss me, kiss me like the world is really ending tonight."
When Dunk said that when they both were still at the front door of Joong's spacious penthouse, he thought that Joong will kiss him mercilessly, they miss each other so much, it makes sense if tonight will go in that direction. But no, Joong only smiled and held his hand. He brought Dunk to his bedroom and went to the balcony. What's going on with them and the balcony? Dunk wanted to laugh.
"When I first got this penthouse from my father, I liked this balcony the most. It's bigger than in our place in Thailand and because my penthouse is located on the top of this building, I can see so many things at the same time when I stand here. Look, it's London's bridge." Joong touched Dunk's hand and pointed it with his hand to one of the most famous places in London. "And that's Big Ben." He directed another place.
"It's so beautiful. It felt so magical everywhere in this country." Dunk said while admiring the beauty of London's night from this place. Joong was right, he could see so many landmarks from this place and it is all so majestic and beautiful.
"But seeing all of this made me think of you." Joong's voice is far, as if he recalled his past nights that were spent alone while seeing this beautiful place. "It made me think that this world is so vast and big, I'm just a tiny dust in this galaxy and yet... I met you ." Joong stopped and he changed his way of standing from looking at the view to Dunk, so Dunk did the same. Now they were standing facing each other.
"We fell in love, we could hold each other's hand, and we could share a lot of happy and sad moments together. Isn't it crazy?"
Dunk felt the same way. In this vast world, he could meet Joong, that's already a miracle by itself.
"We can stand to each other's faces like this, it is already a miracle for me, Dunk."
Dunk smiles, he smiles so prettily and touches his boyfriend's face softly. "I feel the same way."
"Dunk, this might sound crazy, you might be disappointed with how I want to ask you for something. But being here alone, watching the things I want to watch with you, realizing that our paths colliding into each other was already a miracle itself, gave me some bravery to ask you something. I want to ask you as soon as possible. I planned to ask you when I can go back to our country but like a miracle, you came here by yourself to meet me. It made me sure that I couldn't hold this any longer."
Dunk didn't know what Joong would say to him, but his serious face that still had so much affection on his beautiful brown eyes made his heart beat so fast. Dunk didn't know what he expected right now (except for a kiss, where is his kiss, why Joong talked so long before giving him what he wanted), but he started trembling.
"Dunk."
Joong stopped talking again and Dunk was the one who felt all the nervousness that was radiated from this boyfriend.
"Yes, Joong?" He spoke at the end because Joong didn't say anything more.
Joong smiled and opened a box of a ring in front of him and just by the sight of it made Dunk's mind go blank.
"Do you want to marry me?"
Oh my God.
It was the first response Dunk could think of in his head.
Joong was proposing to him.
Wow.
"I know that I'm still lacking in so many things, I just graduated from college, even the ceremony will only be happening next month. And we are both so young, but I don't want anyone else but you in this life, Dunk."
Dunk was still frozen on his feet and Joong felt sorry already. He was asking too much.
"I'm sorry if i asked too much for you and it's totally okay if you aren't ready for this yet. But I really need to ask you this, because I want you to know how I feel about you, about us, and about our relationship. I know we mate already, we became boyfriend and partner of each other. People said that we are soulmates for each other. But I still wanted us to become something more than that , I want us to become a companionship for this life. That's why I'm proposing to you right now."
Dunk was still silent, Joong suddenly felt the panic. He was really asking too much.
"And by the way I propose to you, you might be disappointed with me. I mean I only asked you this on my penthouse balcony, without no proper preparation, i only bought this ring for you in the nearest jewelry shop i could find. Ok, now I feel bad, I'm sorry."
Dunk laughed a little. Joong was so funny.
"I should rent an amusement park and propose to you at the top of the ferris wheel, damn i'm sorry. I couldn't think straight, I just wanted to ask you this, and you came to me and made me want to say everything. Oh God.. I feel ashamed right now, Dunk."
Dunk watched how Joong started to feel so panicked, he started babbling nonsense and before Dunk heard more of it. He shutted Joong's mouth with his mouth.
It's finally their kiss again after so long.
The kisses are so soft, so far from being too passionate with each other. But with their kiss, they can feel the compassion they seek for. With every second they lips touch each other, everything becomes clearer than everything else how they feel about each other. Dunk reaches for Joong's hand that was still holding his box of rings, while still kissing his boyfriend's upper lips and Joong goes for the bottom part of Dunk's plumpy lips. They both close their eyes to feel each other. How they miss to feel each other like this. Their heart beat is beating in the same rhythm and their heart is voicing how they feel toward each other at the same time.
I love you.
I love you so much.
I miss you, I'm longing for you.
I want you and only you.
It is their loudest silence they ever experienced.
When they feel like the oxygen is running out from their lungs, they separate from each other for a while. Usually after a kiss like this, Dunk's face becomes so red but it's funny how this time Joong is blushing so hard. Joong feels so shy that's why he throws his gaze over everything else except for Dunk's eyes and Dunk hates that. So he touches Joong's face and makes him look at his eyes straight. Their positions are really too close to each other until they can feel each other's breath on their face.
"Babe, I came here with the expectation of having kisses and maybe mind blowing sex with you. I never thought that I would have a marriage proposal here." Dunk laughs a little. "But you know what, what you asked me before is way better than everything that was on my mind before ."
Joong looks like he wants to say something, probably another nonsense like not proposing Dunk in a grandiose way, but to be very honest, Dunk loves this kind of proposal the most. It was indeed unexpected, but the intimate way he poured his heart to Dunk before is something Dunk ever dreamed of. "And yeah, you give me the perfect proposal i ever think of. I love it."
"Really?" Joong sounds like he still doesn't believe in Dunk's words.
"A man I love so much proposed to me in his penthouse balcony, his most private place , with a background of the beauty of London's night. It's perfect, babe." Dunk reassures Joong. "I know how you are feeling, I know why you really need to ask me this. I feel the same way too ."
Joong opens his eyes and his heart is beating in a very chaotic way again in his ribcage. "So?"
"You have my parents' blessing already, and do you think I will say no to your proposal?" Joong is enchanted at how beautiful Dunk is tonight, a white turtleneck and a white long coat, he looks like an angel. His eyes show him so much love and happiness. He is indeed happy with Joong's proposal. "Remember what I said to you in our first messages for each other when we both didn't know that we were neighbors?"
Joong remembers that, he will remember everything that is coming from Dunk.
"' Let's eat and meet first before marriage, I don't even know your name !' Now we have already met and I know who you are. It's not only us though, our alpha and inner omega also meet together in another dimension we couldn't think of. What else am I waiting for? And I also want only you in this life, so, I also want to be your companion, Joong Archen Aydin."
That is how Dunk said that he is accepting Joong's proposal for marriage. Joong feels like he can cry anytime, he feels so happy, no, he feels so elated by how Dunk is responding to this. He takes Dunk's body and hugs it tight, he hugs it so tight until Dunk chuckles in his breath.
"Thank you, thank you so much for everything, Dunk."
When Joong releases his hug, he is shocked by the fact that his box of rings is no longer on his hands but on Dunk's. Dunk raises his eyebrow to it and laughs. "I want my ring, put it on me."
And that time, with London's bridge and Big Ben as their witnesses, Joong kneels in front of Dunk and puts the ring on Dunk's delicate finger and kisses it after. He looks up to Dunk's eyes and whispers i love you once again. Dunk smiles and whispers I love you back and that is their forever, once again.
"It's our beginning of happiness." Joong says while kissing Dunk one more time. Dunk responds to it with the same enthusiasm. He misses it so much, one kiss won't ever be enough for them.
At first, they kiss each other softly, but after several minutes have passed, the kiss starts to get more passionate with Dunk bits on Joong's lower lips in a very seductive way. Joong pulls out for the moment to look at his soon-to-be husband's eyes and the air surrounding them is changed.
He comes back to the lips he loves so much while shoving his tongue to Dunk's already opened mouth. At times like this, Joong thinks that Dunk can't only feel his feelings but also read his mind. Joong trembles at the hotness from Dunk's mouth and he thinks of something else to be placed there. Can he have one tonight?
As if can read this dirty mind of Joong Archen, Dunk smirks on their kisses. He pulls Joong back to the inside of his very spacious bedroom. They won't ever do it on the balcony, what if someone else can see? Even though it's near impossible considering how high their position right now is, but better safe than sorry. But there is one other problem, when Dunk saw the beautiful of London's night before, he suddenly wants something, he wants to be fucked while looking at those beautiful view. He looks at Joong's bedroom wall and smiles happily when he realizes the part that is linked to his balcony is big glasses with curtains. This still can work somehow.
Joong pushes Dunk to the glass side of the wall while protecting his head from the bump with his big hand, they still haven't broken from their kisses. They really devour each other's lips like tonight is really the end of the world. Dunk can feel tent on Joong's trouser and he smiles at the thought that he can make Joong get hard just from the kissing.
"Strip me off, baby." Joong commands him and Dunk is more than happy to do that.
Now their hands are busy stripping off each other's clothes. No need for a long time for both of them to be in their bare and naked condition. Dunk pulls out from the kiss to see Joong's body he misses so much. "You really got a lot thinner, babe. I will cook more for you."
Joong seems to have other thoughts in his mind right now. "Can we really do it right now? Are your wounds and your body okay right now? I don't want to hurt you in any way."
Dunk wants to cry.
No babe, you hurt me more if you don't touch me tonight!
"I'm okay, everything is okay right now but maybe.. please just don't give too much pressure to my chest." Dunk is still afraid that his broken bone on his chest still needs some more time to recover, but other than that everything seems good. And oh, he can have his way on this too.
Dunk falls on his knees and looks up to Joong who looks down to him with a clouded eyes. It's amazing how he is this turn on but still can ask about how they should go tonight. He is indeed a very patient man with a lot of self control, if not because of his inner alpha that took over the control of his body that night in Germany, Dunk won't ever know what he likes more when he is having sex with his boyfriend, nope , his soon-to-be husband.
Joong holds his breath when Dunk's hands are touching his cock. The ring on his finger feels cold on his most sensitive part and that turns him more, he watches his cock is getting bigger and erect just from it.
"I know you want this, right?" Dunk smirks and takes a tip of Joong's cock on his mouth and Joong moans at how good it feels. The hotness from before is finally reaching the part of his body he wants the most. He really wants to pull Dunk's hair to make it easier to push his mouth to his already hard cock, but... Dunk can feel his hesitation so he looks up once again and nods.
You can do everything you want with me.
Damn, Joong is so lucky to have Dunk in every aspect of his life.
So without any other thoughts he pulls Dunk's hair and pushes his pretty mouth to his cock, to make it go deeper, its tip almost reaches his throat and it's still halfway to go. Damn. How many times Joong already said this before but his partner is really good with his mouth, especially his tongue. When he missed Dunk so much and wanted some release, he could only imagine his mouth and he could come easily.
Damn, the reality is way more crazier. The way he wraps his cock with his tongue, the cat-lick he does with his tip when he feels his jaws is hurting from what they do, the hotness from his mouth, damn it's so hot. Joong really needs to hold himself because if he isn't doing that, he can really cum anytime soon.
Fifteen minutes is his limit.
Dunk really needs to pull his mouth out from his cock because he's gonna cum soon.
"Pull out, babe, I don't want to release that in your mouth."
But Dunk seems to want another thing, he doesn't listen to Joong's words, instead he keeps sucking his boyfriend like there is no tomorrow.
"Fuck! You make me go crazy." Joong needs to force Dunk to let go of his cock and even with this kind of force, it is still too late. When Joong shoots his inside (he really can see the stars just from Dunk's amazing blowjob capability), some of it is still spilled on Dunk's mouth and the most of it is now covering his face.
Damn.
Joong is breathless on his spot.
The view in front of him is so crazy, it turns him on so much until he believes that his just-cumming-cock can hard anytime soon.
Dunk licks his side of mouth and looks up innocently at Joong. His face is a mess but he seems to not care about it. He looks like a naughty cat that falsifies his innocence, Joong can read how his mind works right now. He feels so satisfied to make Joong lose his mind over whatever he did to him before and the thing he shows to him right now.
Does he realize that he is also a wet mess down there? The way his cock is also so damn hard and his slicks are dropping from his hole. He is this much turned on just from giving his boyfriend a blow.
"How do you want me to do you?" Joong asks with his low voice, he really wants to ruin his boyfriend for the things he did to him before. He can't be the only one who is losing a mind here. But before that, he needs to wipe off that white fluid on his beautiful face first. Joong takes Dunk's body up so he is finally standing again. He kisses and licks his face, it makes him taste his own release but the way Dunk releases his pheromone to seduce him makes everything feels so nice.
After he thinks his face is a little bit clearer, Joong goes for his boyfriend's milky and clean neck. It is too clean for his liking so he drops a few bites there, and that is the first time Joong can hear Dunk's moan tonight. He knows it, one of Dunk's most sensitive part is his neck.
Joong hasn't done anything but Dunk feels so ecstatic already. He feels so hot. Joong really takes a lot of care of his neck and Dunk is starting to lose his mind. Joong is intentionally not touching his chest and Dunk knows the reason behind, he feels bad though. He misses how Joong plays with his chest, but he can ask this for another time when he is sure that he won't go to the hospital again due to another broken chest, but this time it is all due to a sexual intercourse.
Dunk pushes Joong from his neck and looks at him with a complaint on the edge of his tongue. "You asked me before, I haven't answered."
Joong laughs and steps away.
Dunk is satisfied with how Joong is listening to him right now. The omega is now turning his back on his boyfriend, he looks out of the window and smiles at the great view of London's night from this glasses. He bends his body while holding on the glasess and showing his so fucking wet hole to his boyfriend. "Fuck me, here."
Dunk is so ready to take Joong's cock on his hole because he doesn't need any more preparation because his slicks are doing their job right. But it seems like Joong isn't done with his obsession over Duck's neck, so instead of his cock, Dunk can feel that Joong inserts two of his fingers on his hole while he comes back to his neck from behind. Biting and licking it like a cruel wolf.
Dunk holds back his annoyance and Joong laughs it off. Why does Dunk's frustration become an entertainment for Joong?
"You know, your pheromone is so fucking strong on this two spots, babe." Joong licks his neck and when Dunk is letting his guard down, he licks his hole and Dunk gasps in shock. Oh, damn. Joong is giving him exactly what he gave him before and now Dunk knows how this can make someone go into the craziness.
That man is still eating him up and Dunk is already a moaning mess, he thinks he can't hold any longer, he will cum soon. But when he thinks it will come, Joong stops what he does with his tongue and mouth and replaces it with the real thing . Dunk is sighing in relief and Joong is laughing hard.
"You are so funny tonight, babe."
"Shut up and just fuck me right!"
"You take your contraceptive pill, right?"
Dunk wants to get mad right now. How can he still remember that damn thing in a time like this?! When Dunk basically can't think of anything except for his alpha's cock and how good it is buried inside him. Please, stop the teasing, and move faster!
"Uh-uh."
"Is that a yes?" Joong pushes his cock deeper and touches his omega's pleasure spot, which he is so familiar with.
"Nghhh.. Ah." Dunk can't comprehend his own words because he doesn't feel like talking.
"What? I can't understand. Did you take it or not?"
Joong is doing his job great down there, he fucks him fast and rough, just as like what the liking of his boyfriend. But he is not really doing a great job with his mouth. He keeps asking!
"Tell me, babe. Did you take your pill?"
Dunk rolls his eyes in annoyance and looks back to his boyfriend who is smirking at him. "I TOOK IT, BASTARD! STOP ASKING!"
Joong wants to laugh, his soon-to-be husband is so cute. Dunk glares at him for a second and then next second he looks at him with a determination. Then he clenches his hole on Joong's cock. Joong shocks at the sudden movement but this is a cue for him to stop teasing his cute boyfriend and just do the things right, so the next thing he grabs Dunk's shoulder and fuck him right from behind while he is still bending and looking at the outside view with a very clouded eyes.
Joong isn't sure that he can enjoy the view outside when he is having so much pleasure from the lower part of his body. His assumption is right when he sees Dunk closing his eyes and just moaning and whining mess below him while the alpha is still going in and out on his body at a very fast pace.
It feels extremely amazing inside his omega, Joong's favorite place. Because he hasn't touched him for more than three months, it really feels like the first time all over again. That memory from the camping tent is coming back at him at full force, how tight his boyfriend's hole is clenching on his cock, and how he feels to be finally able to touch Dunk like this. Only him can do this. Joong is ecstatic by the thought.
My omega.
My husband.
My Dunk.
"Dunk, marry me. I want to be your husband." This time Joong is the one who talks nonsense because he just says whatever is on his mind while still making love with the person he loves so much.
"I said yes already, babe."
"Marry me."
Joong can feel the wave of another release coming and when his cock is getting bigger and the knot deep inside his omega is ready to burst anytime. Dunk is almost reaching there too, Joong can feel it on his feelings right now. When it is almost there for both of them, he feels Dunk straightens his sexy back and looks back at him.
"I do."
Then he kisses Joong one more time while both Joong and Dunk, the alpha and the omega, are intertwined with each other, and are reaching that point of pleasure and happiness. At the same time, together.
"It's really the beginning of our happiness." Dunk says when they break their kiss and look at each other's eyes.
***
[Three years later.]
"This is crazy to think that our friend proposed his marriage three years ago and the wedding itself happened three years later." Phuwin shakes his head as his feet land on this country again after more than three years.
It's Germany again, but this time no one is escaping from their parents or a breaking up drama.
Just a wedding of Joong Archen Aydin and Dunk Natachai Boonprasert.
Finally.
"They were so busy, Joong must take care of his parents' company, you know he is the CEO already and because of that he can finally have his own free time to get married." Pond wants to laugh at how his best friend weep on him this past three years because he didn't have the time to prepare the wedding.
Phuwin nods. "Dunk is also so busy with his company, I still couldn't believe that his father was giving him a branch of his company in London for Dunk to build. His parents know that Dunk didn't want to go back to the country where Joong was not there so they gave him a company in the same place as Joong. Wow, crazy rich behavior."
"Yeah, these two are so fucking rich. Even without doing anything, they will live fine. But they don't want to live that way, that's why they give their all to take care of their own company these past three years until they don't have time to make a wedding ceremony." Pond grabs Phuwin luggage while still walking together to get out from the airport.
"Funny though to think, the merger of Joong's parents company and Dunk's parents company happened at the end, even though it was in the hands of their children. It feels like the story is coming full circle." Phuwin felt so happy when he heard that Joong and Dunk were working together to build their own company. Dunk needed Joong company's technology to make it faster for him to grow his new company. And Joong needed Dunk's parents power to make the stakeholder at his company stop bothering him and his family.
Pond nods. "Whatever is meant to be, it will happen no matter how long it takes. I'm just happy that they are reaching this point, so many things happened. Our best friends are finally having their happiness and getting married, even though I believe that this marriage is only a way of formality for both of the family. Between them, Joong and Dunk were already married that day on London three years ago."
"I agree with you, OH?" Pond looks at Phuwin who is now looking in one direction with bigger eyes. "Isn't that?"
Pond directs his eyes toward the direction that Phuwin notices before and is shocked when he sees both Joong and Dunk waving their hands for them. "HEY, OUR BEST FRIENDS!" Joong shouts loudly.
Pond can't believe that they are picking them up directly at the airport.
"So, when are you two getting married?" Joong that lousy kid is asking Pond and Phuwin as soon as they reach Joong's limo. Phuwin is ashamed right now, why do they need to pull out a fucking limousine just to pick him and Pond at the airport.
Pond looks at him as if waiting for Phuwin's reaction, but because Phuwin remains still, he is the one who will answer that question. "I will tell you sooner, but I already met Phuwin's parents two weeks ago."
"WHAT? AND YOU DIDN'T TELL US?" Joong shouts again. So nosy, Phuwin rolls his eyes.
"We can talk about this later. The bigger issue right now is both of you. Look at yourself, you look like a zombie, you were so freaking busy with companies and wedding preparation, I pray that you both won't faint on your wedding's day tomorrow." Phuwin with his sharp mouth strikes again.
Joong and Dunk are only laughing at Phuwin's exclamation. The road to the homestay are not too long, but they spend their time talking, laughing, teasing at each other like a best friend they are.
The lovebirds were choosing Dunk's friend's homestay near Halensee's Lake to hold this wedding ceremony. They will get married in the vast garden near the lake. Phuwin prays that tomorrow won't be raining, because this is an outdoor wedding ceremony. The guests that aren't too many because Joong and Dunk both want to make this as private as possible, gonna be staying at the homestay.
The homestay is nice and homey, he loves the ambience of this place. And every homestay is separate from each other, so they will have their own kind of bungalow for themselves. Phuwin met Barry, Dunk's friend who owns this place and he is a kind and friendly man.
"Ok, this is your private bungalow. Please don't do anything inappropriate here, people can hear." Joong gives them their key while talking nonsense and Phuwin can't help but wanting to smack his head. "Oh! Oh, you can't hurt the groom, Phuwin." But he can't so at the end he only glares at Joong.
Dunk is only laughing. "We will meet at the dinner table, please take a rest first, you've been taking a long flight to get here."
Pond nods and he looks like he wants to say something to Dunk but he holds back.
After that, Joong and Dunk leave them alone in their bungalow and Pond starts to unpack their stuff while Phuwin still looks at his boyfriend with a knowing eyes.
"You want to say something to Dunk, right?" Phuwin asks his boyfriend.
Pond finally gives his attention back to Phuwin and leaves the luggages alone. "I feel like I want to say something to him, but Joong is always with him."
So Pond only wants to talk with Dunk alone.
"I can help you with that, let's go." Phuwin takes his boyfriend's hand with him to get out from their bungalow and to search for their best friend that will marry each other in less than 24 hours. They find him in the kitchen area, probably preparing for dinner. The guests are already coming, their parents are also already here.
"Joong." Phuwin calls Joong who is currently reading something like a book of menu.
"Oh, what is it, Phu? Are you hungry already?" He asks, Phuwin shakes his head.
"I wanna talk with you, can I borrow your boyfriend for a while, Dunk?" Phuwin asks back to Dunk who is sitting at the dining table and looks at him while nodding.
"Ok, come with me, big boy." Phuwin takes Joong's arm and drags him out from the scene.
"Don't kill my husband!" Dunk laughs at his own words and Phuwin can just chuckle.
"Do you have time to talk with me?" Pond asks him and Dunk nods with a smile.
They are now walking together toward the lake, to the place where Joong and Dunk will get married tomorrow. The sky turns orange because the darkness of night will engulf them not too long and Pond wants to acknowledge that this place is indeed beautiful.
"You choose a good place to get married, friend." Pond says at the end when they are looking at the lake in front of them.
"Yeah, me and Joong had something connected to this place that's why we chose to get married here." Pond looks at his friend's shy smile.
"Congratulations. You and Joong definitely deserve this." Pond stops a moment to remember all the things that were happening to them. "I know you from long, Dunk. I was with you when your mother often scolded you badly if you did something that didn't suit her. I saw your unsaid pain, I saw your silent cry. Dunk.."
"Hmm?"
"I always see you as my brother, that's why every painful event in your life was hurting me also."
Dunk looks at Pond, his eyes showing him a sincere gratitude.
"Maybe I can't give much to help you to get out of your misery, I'm so sorry for that but I'm so glad that you find your happiness now and I believe Joong won't ever hurt you. I'm so happy for you."
That is what Pond wants to say in private with Dunk, he wants to say sorry and says what he feels inside for the friend he holds so dearly in his heart.
"Pond." Dunk calls him softly. "Did you know that you once saved my life?"
Pond never heard any of this.
"It was during our senior high school days. That day, my mother scolded me so badly because I couldn't achieve the perfect scores on the exam. I was so depressed and hurt, more of it, I felt so alone. I felt that no one in this world was on my side." Pond can't understand why Dunk looks so calm while talking about bad memories.
"That night, I walked towards the end of the balcony in my room. You know my room was on the fourth floor, I could really die if I jumped from my balcony. I really wanted to do that, Pond. The realization of being alone consumed me till I couldn't think straight. But that night, you called me..."
I did?
Pond doesn't remember any of it.
"Yes, you call me, you and your cheerful voice asked me to join you to go to the internet cafe the day after, to play the game we used to play in our school days? What was it? Point blank? That moment, I realized that if I died that day, I couldn't go to play with you again. And that was a pity, so i stepped back and went inside to my room."
Pond goes silent and only looks at his best friend with so many emotions flash on his handsome face.
"There is never a single moment that I never feel thankful for you. Maybe I can stand here today and feel this much happiness, all of that thanks to you . Thanks to your call that night, you saved my life. You are my best friend and a brother to me too. That's why don't say something like you didn't give much, your existence itself is already a blessing to me. So it's not only me and Joong, I always pray for your and Phuwin's happiness. Let us all be happy, my dear friend."
Pond smiles. He understands it now how Dunk feels for him. At the end of the day, they are all friends who have the bond of brothers. They always pray for each other's happiness.
"Pond, can I hug you? Phuwin won't get mad, right?"
Pond laughs a little. "Joong won't kill me if we do that, right?"
Dunk joins him to laugh and with no longer thinking, Dunk goes to hug his best, best friend that he always loves so much. Pond hugs him back while saying, "Thank you for being my best friend."
Dunk nods and smiles so brightly. "Thank you for always being the best friend I have ever had."
***
"Phu."
"What?"
Joong laughs and drops his ass on one of the sofas in the living room of this homestay. Phuwin joins him later.
"Now I'm thinking about it again, I can finally reach this point with Dunk. It's all because of you."
"Huh?" Phuwin looks at him with weird eyes.
"Your lie about me facing a near death situation in Germany brought Dunk back to me."
Ah..
Phuwin laughs because he just remembers how chaotic that moment was. Especially when he screamed like a total mad man in front of the Boonprasert's big gate. Then, Auntie Pim is also play a big part on Joong and Dunk's story.
"Sometimes you look like you don't care, but I know, you care so much for us, Phu." Joong talks again.
"Yeah, you two are my friends, I want to see both of you happy." Phuwin finally says something. He is definitely not the type of person who is comfortable to show how he cares and loves other people by his words, but his friends and boyfriend all know how deeply he cares about them.
"Thank you."
Phuwin looks beside him and finds Joong looking at him with so much gratitude shown in his eyes. Ugh. It is so weird to see Joong like this to him.
"I sincerely want to thank you, for everything ." Joong smiles and Phuwin feels touched by his words. But he can't talk sweet like him, it makes him feel shy.
"Your welcome." He says at the end. "Please be happy with Dunk. Happily ever after, you know? Like in the Disney movies."
"You too, Phuwin. I hope Pond can make you the happiest prince ever.. like in the Disney movies. Or do you like it more to become an Olaf in Frozen?"
Ugh, Joong and his ability to ruin the mood.
"Then, you can be Sven, Kristoff's reindeer."
Joong laughs hard at it, Phuwin doesn't know which part is so funny but he just joins him to laugh. Their laughter is interrupted when Joong sees his mother is walking toward his direction.
"Mother?"
Phuwin knows it's time for him to leave, so he allows himself to go back to his bungalow. It makes Joong alone with his mother in the living room area of this homestay.
"What is it, mother?" Joong asks while looking at his mother who sits on the sofa across from him. The distance she needs whenever she is with her son. She looks so restless. The relationship between Joong and his parents has changed in the past three years, but they haven't turned into a happy family like Dunk's family is.
His mother's condition was never going back to her prime time, she got easily sick and needed to go back and forth to the hospital. So Joong was the only one who could take care of her company because his fathers sucks, he will only say this much. The dependency he got from his parents was burdening him at first, but after doing it and having a taste by himself, he ended up liking it. Dunk was helping him a lot on his side so he was content with everything.
And still, he didn't have any resentment or hard feelings for his parents.
He really stopped having any expectations from them for a long time ago, so he just accepted everything his parents gave him. Even if they won't come to their only son's wedding, he is also okay with that. But this time, his parents showed up.
"Hmm... tomorrow is your wedding day."
Joong wants to grimace at how his mother tries so hard to start a conversation with him. She is just really bad at this, but because Joong is a good son he tries to respond to it.
"Yeah."
There is a loud silence again then his mother who is now playing with her fingers speaks again.
"Congratulations."
"Thank you."
Everything feels so awkward, Joong knows it.
"You and Dunk are such a great couple."
Wow, this is the first time his mother complimented him in any things.
"Do you like her, mother?" Joong wants to ask more about her opinion about Dunk because she really never said anything.
"Yes. He is a good kid, and... he can make you happy ." Joong doesn't expect his mother to say something like this. "Joong." His mother's voice is so weak, it almost feels like a whisper.
This time Joong is silent and just waiting for her.
"I'm sorry."
Sorry?
"I'm sorry for everything."
Joong is definitely not hearing this wrong. The things that make his mother look all antsy and restless like this because she wants to say sorry to her only son one day before his wedding? What did she eat wrong?
"I think I don't deserve to be called a mother by you. I never did anything a mother should be except for giving birth to you. I'm sorry to make you feel unloved and lonely, I'm really sorry. I know you can't accept my apology, you should never , but I really want to say this to you." Joong's mother stops for a moment again and looks up to his son for the first time. He looks straight into Joong's eyes to convey what she feels inside. "Joong, my biggest fear right now is I will be dead anytime soon, and I have no more chance to tell you how sorry I am."
This feels like the longest word his mother ever said to him, it makes Joong all speechless and freeze. He finally hears something he waits for so long. Not the sorry part, but the acknowledgement that he is his mother son.
"And thank you. Thank you for saving my company, thank you for growing up nicely and becoming a good man. I have no part in it, but I feel so thankful you can be who you are right now."
His mother leaves him alone after she says everything she wants to say to her only child. Joong can't really respond to anything because he feels everything so suddenly. All the pain he got from his parents suddenly lifted up into the surface and a simple word from his mother can really touch the most painful parts and tries to heal it in a very strange way.
Can a sincere word really heal the longest pain?
He feels someone touch his shoulder and when he looks up it's Dunk who is smiling at him.
"It's okay, I'm here. " And as if he can read everything in Joong's heart right now, Dunk is giving him the best medicine. The word: I'm here. The word that means he is no longer alone. Joong melts into Dunk's touch and closes his eyes.
His mother finally say sorry and thank you to him.
***
Dunk is wearing a white suit, looking all gorgeous and angelic. For Joong, Dunk is really the angel that God's above sent to him, to accompany him in his lonely world.
Joong is wearing a black suit, looking all handsome and firm. For Dunk, Joong is really his steady rock, someone he can lean on and share his burden.
They fit each other well and today is the day of the declaration. The declaration of how good Joong and Dunk were standing side by side under the aisle. The declaration of their love and everything that has happened for them to finally be able to stand at each other on this point.

Joong looks into Dunk's eyes and he can see everything there . It's not only him, he can see his inner omega there, looking at him with love in his eyes. Joong wants to swim in those eyes forever. With still looking straight and deeply into the eyes that give him so much life, Joong says his pledge.
"I, Joong Archen Aydin, take you, Dunk Natachai Boonprasert, to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part."
Joong can see the smiles on Dunk's eyes while he says his vow.
Dunk can't really comprehend what he feels right now except for he loves the man in front of him so much. Everything except him feels blurry. There is only him in his world. Everything doesn't matter at this point.
He looks at Joong's eyes and he sees his past , present , future are dancing at the same time. Dunk smiles, he feels so happy that he can share the past, the present, and the future together with a man named Joong Archen Aydin. So with that thought in mind, he says his vow.
"I, Dunk Natachai Boonprasert, take you, Joong Archen Aydin, to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part."
And this is their promise, their eternal promise.
Joong looks at his now husband and smiles brightly at him, Dunk is doing the same thing.
The alpha comes closer to his omega. He will go for their first kisses. Dunk's lips are still as soft as ever and Joong is really drowning into those beautiful lips. When they share their first kiss as husbands, everything really stops at the moment . Suddenly everything around them is in the color of white. Only them there, they are in the dimension they don't know, talking with each other.
"So this is where our inner alpha and inner omega meet."
Dunk nods. "They allow us to go here."
Joong walks closer to his husband, he reaches out his hand to Dunk and Dunk only looks at it with a confused look.
"Hi, my name is Joong Archen Aydin, and I'm so happy to know you."
Dunk smiles, he grabs Joong's hand and pulls him for another kiss. The kiss that feels like eternity.
After the kisses he smiles at his husband with both of his lips and his eyes.
"And my name is Dunk Natachai Boonprasert. Thank you for being my soulmate, my mate, my partner, and... my husband ."
And this is the beginning of their eternal happiness.
The story of Joong Archen Aydin and Dunk Natachai Boonprasert, despite everything , being folded nicely this way. They will keep this deep and abiding love for each other as long as we still remember their love, their pain, and their story.
The End
"Joong! We are in trouble!" Dunk rushes into his husband who is now cooking something in their kitchen. When Joong sees the panic in his husband's eyes he stops whatever he is doing right now to come near to him.
"What's wrong? Is our baby okay?" Joong looks worriedly at Dunk's big belly but his omega distracts him again to see up to his eyes.
"I went to hospital today because I suddenly felt sick in my stomach. Ok, no worry, everything is fine, I was with Phuwin, we went shopping when it happened."
"You should call me."
"No, babe, listen, that's not the part we should worry about. Long story short, I had an examination for our baby's condition and... guess what?"
Joong feels so worried he starts to feel cold on his hand. "What?"
"Doctor Tong said that we will have triplets!"
Triplets...
"We will raise three babies at the same time?"
Oh God...
