"Did we lose them?" Yeonjun sped up the van, the boys sighed in relief when the Celestians were finally out of sight.

They learnt it the hard way that life was unpredictable, sometimes they had to go with the flow.

Yeonjun, Taehyun, Beomgyu and Hueningkai, plus a grey van would be all that they had on this expedition.

Or that's what they thought since they were unaware of the other car tailing them from some distance.

The sun rose again after multiple repetitions, so as the growling in the boys' stomachs.

Unfortunately, the supplies they loaded to the van ran out in the first week, they had no choice but to revive their former profession—

"Guys, ready?" Their babbling was terminated by Yeonjun, they really had some serious job to deal with.

Therefore Taehyun left his last remark to Beomgyu, "-joking, I owe you more than that." He didn't forget to send a flirty wink which flushed the older as he planned.

From behind the van, Taehyun and the other boys were observing a convenient store at a deserted place. There were no other buildings around, only cars rarely racing through the long road, ideal for them to jack-in and out.
