SUPERPOWERS! Running Man

Byul and the Easy Brothers

Yo! I'm back!! Sorry for the rather long wait in-between chapters... Still, I should slowly be working on an actual schedule that I could follow through, so yay to that. Anyways, time to get things started. Without further ado, let's get right into it!

Both Kwang Soo and Ji Lupin felt out of place as they saw the sight of the large limo that came to pick them up. The two of them knew that Donghoon was indeed rich, especially Kwang Soo who had personally seen Donghoon's building himself, but still.. it had never fully registered in their minds that Donghoon was none other than a famous young CEO until now.

"Yah, is that for real?" Kwang Soo couldn't help but mutter, growing embarassed as he realised that Byul, Donghoon's wife, could probably listen to his rantings. "That's so cool, hyung!"

"Aish, stop that," Ji Lupin replied, trying to act not as surprised. "I've been in one before and trust me, you geeking out here is just going to brings us more unwanted attention."

"Eh? Where have you ever been in one!?"

"Somewhere back in France... In, in, wherever it was!"

"Eyy, just say the truth, hyung. I know you're just as flustered as I am."

"No, I'm not! I'll tell you that I--"

"Excuse me," Byul suddenly interrupted, making her way between the two bickering agents. "It seems that the limo is ready for us, so... Yeah, do hop in."

Both Kwang Soo and Ji Lupin immediately became silent as they heard Byul's nervous and awkward voice. It was clear to the two of them now that they had much more important matter at hand than bickering about limo-related experience.

"O-oh, yeah," the two of them replied politely. "Thank you very much!"

Kwang Soo quickly went to open the door for both Byul and Ji Lupin as being the maknae, he had taken it upon himself to still maintain politeness among elders, and then proceeded to enter the limo himself before closing the door. The limo finally set off, and they were off on their way to Donghoon and Byul's house.

What is up with this awkward silence? Kwang Soo pondered during the ride, as he realised that both Ji Lupin and himself had not properly introduced themselves to their friend's wife.

"Um, excuse me, noona," Kwang Soo started. "Uhm, first of all, both Ji Lupin and I here want to, er, thank you-- I mean, thank both you and Donghoon for having allowed us to stay at your house. I know it might be kind off sudden but--"

Kwang Soo was immediately cut off by his own set of nervous laughter, which had been building up on his throat for quite some time now ever since he had first opened his mouth. Fortunately for him, Byul completely understood his feeling of uneasiness at the situation, and gave him a kind smile before uttering a "You're welcome."

"Yah, Kwang Soo," Ji Lupin whispered to his fellow agent. "What are you doing!? You're making things even more awkward than before!"

"Me!? You're the one who haven't done anything," Kwang Soo hissed at his senior.

"Um..." This time it was Byul who had decided to start a conversation, and although she still wasn't yet that familiar with these two peculiar people, she decided that it would be best to break the ice for the moment and ease the tension that was hanging in the air. "So where did you know Donghoon from? He simply said that you three were friends, but I've never gotten the details."

As soon as the two agents heard Byul's question, their eyes immediately opened up in shock as they were completely caught off-guard. Although they knew Byul did not mean anything by the question, this had indeed put the two Easy Brothers in a very tough situation for they were unsure of how to respond. The two of them faced each other and decided to have a mental argument between themselves about what to do next.
