A/N: Just like the first chapter, this one has a bgm too, entitled The Drift by Blackmill. You could try to insert/play the song when Frankenstein asked everyone before they took off. *closes my eyes and starting to imagine the scenes while the bgm plays on loop* I can die now in piece. XD
Road Test
(Chapter 2)
By: chengsandagan111
The next day came and everyone in Frankenstein's household is getting ready. Regis and Seira prepared the foods that they will bring for everyone. Tao, Takeo and M21 prepared themselves for an 'in case of on the spot battle' emergency and checked their car engines after.
Haaaaa.. How come it turned out to be a 'family picnic'? Master...
Few minutes later, the human children finally came. They brought their bags and important weekend get-away belongings.
"Are you sure that park has a river nearby?" Suyi asked.
"Of course, I am! Tao Hyung sent me the picture of it last night!" Ikhan confidently said.
"Is that river safe? I mean, if its water current could... you know? Could harm anyone?" Yuna asked.
"I'm sure it's not harmful. Of course, Mr. Chairman wouldn't bring us to any dangerous place, right?" Shinwoo said as he draped on Ikhan's shoulder.
"Yeah! I'm so excited!" Ikhan exclaimed.
The chatter interrupted as M21 opened the front door.
"Hello, Ajuhssi! Good morning!" The human children greeted cheerfully.
"Yeah, hi. Come in." M21 coldly said.
After an hour of preparations, the human children along with Seira, Regis, Gejutel and Lord Raskreia went to the front yard.
"Where are they?" Shinwoo asked after letting out a big yawn.
"They're at the garage." Seira answered.
"How impatient." Regis scowled at Shinwoo.
Later on, the garage gate slowly opened. Rai and Frankenstein got out first, riding the same vehicles they used last night, followed by M21 driving a different model of motorcycle, Tao and Takeo riding in a family van.
"Woah! Rai! I never thought that you could drive! That's so cool!" The suddenly-energetic Shinwoo happily exclaimed.
As Shinwoo attempted to ride on Rai's vehicle, Frankenstein immediately instructed him to ride in the family van, which made the red-haired young boy frown and pout his lips in frustration.
"Raskreia... Let's go..." the Noblesse called, glancing at Raskreia.
"...sit here, behind me..." Rai continued and looked away to hide the faint blush on his cheeks.
Raskreia didn't know what to say. She glanced at the 'now fully loaded' family van then back at Rai and slowly, hesitantly, awkwardly aproached the Noblesse's vehicle. Her mind wanted to back out but Shinwoo and the children called and told her to just ride on. In the end, she sat behind Rai with her hands on Rai's waist. Her both legs fall on one side. Her body was inches away.
"...Raskreia, move closer, you will lost your balance when you're that far." Rai instructed.
His head slightly turned enough for Raskreia to see his slightly flushed cheeks.
"...wear this." The Noblesse continued, handing over the helmet to her.
The Lord Raskreia still didn't say a word. She just did what Rai told her. She wore the helmet and awkwardly squirmed closer to Rai and hesitantly wrapped her arms around his waist. She could feel her cheeks are warming up. Their situation was just overwhelming that all she could do was to let out a sigh.
"Everyone ready?" Frankenstein asked and took a glance at everyone behind them.
"Ready." M21 replied.
"We're good to go, Boss." Tao replied through his wireless bluetooth headset.
Tao at the driver's seat, Takeo beside him, Shinwoo, Ikhan, Suyi, Seira, Yuna, Regis and Gejutel behind them. M21 on his vehicle alone, as well as Frankenstein then his Master Raizel and the Lord Raskreia.
"Let's go." Rai said then took off at a normal speed. Followed by Frankenstein and M21 then Tao and Takeo's car.
"Y'know what guys, I still can't believe that Rai could drive..." Shinwoo said as he opened a bag of chips.
"...we know that he's cool right? Just look at him..." the red-haired young boy continued as he narrowed his eyes and looked at Rai.
"How dare you talk about Cadis Etrama Di Raizel-nim like that?!" Gejutel yelled. Enough for Tao to accidentally stepped on the brake and made their car stopped for seconds.
"Eeek! I'm sorry, Grandpa!" Shinwoo said as he cringed at his seat.
"...are you jealous that he's cooler than you? Hahaha!" Suyi whispered.
"What?! Jealous?! No, I'm not! He's our friend! I like that guy. Why would I get jealous?" Shinwoo defended.
"Yeah, he's not jealous of Rai because he's jealous of his vehicle! Hahaha!" Ikhan said.
"...well, yeah. I do like that motorcycle but- arggghh! You, Ikhan Woo! You're dead!" Shinwoo yelled and shoved Ikhan against the car window.
"Keep quiet, Han Shinwoo. You're too loud! The same goes for you, Ikhan Woo!" Regis said irritatedly then sighed.
"Hahaha! C'mon, Regis. Stop being so formal! Stop restraining yourself, man! Just... you know, have fun!" Shinwoo said while laughing then awkwardly glanced at Gejutel.
"I am having fun, but unfortunately you're loud." Regis answered.
The bickering of the boys continued as well as the girls continued to take pictures of everyone using Yuna's digital camera.
"We're halfway to our destination, guys. You might wanna see this." Tao interrupted the children as he took a quick glance at the road-side. They finally reached the long road of green fields.
"Woah! Yuna! Take pictures as many as you can!" Suyi excitedly said.
The bickering boys took their attention away from each other for a while and looked at the field. They were all astonished. They thought that it was the brightest and the most beautiful secluded park they've ever seen.
"Woah! This is even better than the one you sent me, hyung!" Ikhan told Tao. Draping his arm around the driver's seat.
"I know, right? Me too. At first, I thought that Boss maybe just joking about this place when he told us..." Tao replied.
"...but unfortunately..." Tao mumbled and suppressed a chuckle which made Takeo glared at him.
"Unfortunately what...?" Frankenstein asked from the other line. Still driving ahead of them. Letting his dark spear aura emanate invisibly from the human children's eyes.
M21 changed his lane and follow Rai's trail. He knew that everytime Frankenstein let out his aura because of Tao, he have to get away.
"What?" Shinwoo asked. Clearly didn't heard what Tao just said
"Oh, n- nothing! Hahaha!" Tao awkwardly replied.
Obviously, Tao forgot that they're on a bluetooth conference call... with Frankenstein this time. Good thing he didn't get stabbed with dark spear... yet. Maybe later when they reached their destination.
"We're now just one kilometer away from our destination, guys." Tao informed everyone.
Few more minutes later, they reached the exact same spot that Rai and Frankenstein visited last night, the middle part of the green fields. They all pulled over and got out of their vehicles and took a sweet time to appreciate the view.
"Woah! Oh my gosh! This is just too beautiful!" Suyi exclaimed and took a picture with her cellphone.
"Be careful on getting down, guys." Tao said while opening the car compartment to get their stuffs.
To their overflowing excitement, Shinwoo ran onto the field along with Ikhan.
"Whooo! I wanna live here!" The red-haired young boy yelled with his arms wide opened and tilted his head upwards.
"Shinwoo! Ikhan! How'd you get there?!" Suyi asked. Carefully taking a step onto the field.
"Mr. Chairman! Rai! Hyungs! Ajuhssi! Thank you for taking us here!" Ikhan yelled while waving his arms, wearing his brightest smile.
"Everyone, be careful. Watch your steps." Frankenstein said after checking all the perfectly parked vehicles.
Later on, the whole gang went onto the field with their get-away belongings and started setting up. It's still early in the morning and a whole day camp seems fine.
