Season two, chapter sixty-four
"Always have an escape plan"
EVER SINCE Jeok-bong became part of the team, there have been moments of tension when Thea would sit on her boyfriend's lap in their compact car during thrilling missions, unease and restlessness became an enchanting dance between desire and uncertainty, which became a very common experience for the rest of the team. However it's not just Thea who finds herself on edge - Mun's throat-clearing grows more frequent with every bump in the road.
They had no choice but to bear the burden of embarrassment while on the road. It seemed as if all eyes were fixated on them, curious and apprehensive.
As everyone had their eyes fixated on Jeok-bong, the level of silence within the vehicle was overpowering. His head was peering out of the car window as he greedily drank in every gulp of life-sustaining air. But this serene moment shattered when Mo-tak's noisome and raucous emissions infiltrated the very depths of the vehicle.
"Come on!" Ms. Chu expressed her displeasure with a frown, placing her hands on Mo-tak's seat while he compressed his lips tightly, seemingly suppressing the urge to continue farting
"You ill or something?" Mun asked with a furrowed brow, one hand reaching up to cover his nose while his other hand remained tightly wrapped around Thea's waist to keep her in place
"He pretty much pooped" Hana complained, while she attempted to disperse the unpleasant smell by waving her hand back and forth. Simultaneously, she gripped the handle on the car's ceiling with her other hand
"I couldn't hold it in" Mo-tak justified himself, clutching the steering wheel firmly while attempting to maintain his focus on the road ahead
"Be careful. Don't confuse Jeok-bong" Ms. Chu scolded while Thea tightened her grip on her nose, attempting to block the persistent smell infiltrating her nostrils
"Wait!" Jeok-bong's voice abruptly interrupted, as he exclaimed, recapturing everyone's focus "What is this foul smell?"
"What smell?"
"Sorry, Jeok-bong" Mo-tak shamelessly apologized "Jeez, it stinks" he expressed his discomfort by grimacing and covering his nose
"No. This isn't like any other dung smell. This smell..." Jeok-bong swiftly interrupted, leaning into the vehicle "It's that same terrifying smell from the reeds"
"That woman?" Hana asked, leaning forward when Jeok-bong's gaze fell upon her and Thea
"Yes. It's the woman Thea stabbed in the eye" Jeok-bong replied briefly. While Thea remained oblivious, a hint of jealousy shimmered discreetly within him when he witnessed Mun and Thea's intimate bond. This bothered him greatly, but he also understood that he had no power to change the situation. Recognizing that it was unfair, considering that they were both his friends, he made the decision to suppress his jealousy and behave in a mature and detached manner
