Theoretically, could such a binary system exist?

Short sequel.

With flashbacks it can take at least two seasons.

What is this "dark matter chunk" anyway?

Dark matter. The invisible, untouchable, unhearable, unsniffable substance holding the galaxy together, so it's rotating like a spiral, not like a whirl.

It can make gravity, and that's all what it can.

A chunk - some limited amount of something.
In Minecraft - some fixed amount of cubes loading at once. In some web frameworks - a standalone piece of code or text.

Here - "some invisible compact amount of Dark matter", like an invisible (but producing gravity) third body between these two planets.

I was trying to say that in this context saying chunk implies a physical lump of matter like properties which, as far as we know, doesn't make sense when speaking about dark matter. Including dark matter in an sf story in this way would pretty much land it in the Bad science in fiction Hall of Shame thread.
