There are few things Gihun can deny his daughter. So when she begs him to do this 'tic toc challenge', showing her best puppy eyes after showing him a few videos of people being chased around by their partners in the force, he's unable to say no and caves almost immediately - much to Eunji's disappointment, but that's not something new.
It should be fun and easy: pat his boyfriend's butt and then run away into the nearby woods before the other can catch him. Years of running away from creditors and loan sharks have trained him for this; plus he's a whole head taller that Inho, his longer legs should be an advantage.
Confident of his abilities in spite of the fact that Inho is a still an active cop, they set the plan in motion: while Gayeong is filming on her phone, sitting at the wooden table next to her mother, Gihun gets up and slowly sneaks behind Inho, who is on cooking duties along with Junho and Jungbae at the barbecue. They had decided to spent Chuseok in a lovely reserve nearby Seoul, renting two small villas next to each other set in a beautiful garden bordering a forest, a white fence dividing the property from the trees.
Gihun turns one last time to see his daughter give him an enthusiastic thumbs up, then he leans over Inho's shoulder, who must have sense his arrival since he just keeps turning the meat.
"Food is going to be ready soon hyung," Junho says with a bright smile; next to him Jungbae is already eating some of the already cooked meat and vegetables.
"That's not what I'm here for," Gihun replies, hiding his hands behind his back, "Gayeong wants to do a, um, tic toc challenge? Don't know what it is, something young people do these days."
"A Tiktok challenge?" Junho raises an eyebrow, intrigued.
"Does it consist in something illegal?" Inho asks, eyes still fixed on the meat.
"Gayeong would never do something illegal Inho!"
"Then why are you sneaking behind my back like a thief?"
"Thought you wanted the meat," Jungbae says, munching on a slice of bacon, "You would be a very bad thief by the way, we all heard you coming."
"Hey!"
"What does the challenge consist of?" Junho asks, bringing the topic back.
"Well, Gayeong wants to see if Inho can catch me in a foot pursuit."
That makes Inho turn his head: "So it had to do with something illegal."
"It's not illegal to pretend!"
"That's arguable."
"I bet on Inho," Jungbae says, putting down his plate and cleaning with hand on a piece of paper.
Gihun's jaw drops: "What?! Why?!"
"Gihun, you of all people are not going to beat a cop in a foot pursuit."
"Sorry hyung, but I agree."
"Traitors!"
"Junho-sshi, do you want to bet too?"
"No illegal bets," Inho reprimands them as he starts to put the cooked meat on a plate. His lips are slightly bent into a smirk.
Gihun grimaces and, invigorated by spite and wanting to prove his old friend and brother-in-law wrong, he squeezes Inho's ass and immediately starts running towards the opening of the fence.
Junho laughs. Jungbae shakes his head.
Inho sighs, calmly finishes to put the meat on the plate and waits another ten seconds. Then he turns and sprints after his boyfriend while his brother and Gayeong cheer for him.
Gihun surpasses the fence and reaches the forest before turning his head, just in time to see Inho jump said fence like in some commercial and run after him at a surprising speed. He gulps, sensing immediately the magnitude of his fucked up, his feet moving before his brain orders them to do so, but it's already too late.
He manages to pass the first few lines of trees before Inho grasps his arm and twists it behind his back and then push him against a tree trunk.
Gihun lets out a petulant lament: "Hey, you could have hurt me!"
Inho laughs and leans in, his lips brushing Gihun's ear and his breath warm against his skin: "You are under arrest Seong Gihun."
Gihun, despite the situation, can't help but shiver, a shiver that goes straight in his crotch when Inho puts a leg between his and adheres against his back.
"I swear if you are going to say something like 'You are under arrest for stealing my heart' I'll leave you with blue balls tonight."
"Are you sure you are in the position to make demands?" Inho asks, playful.
"I know my rights, my boyfriend is a cop," he says before pushing his butt against the other's pelvis, rejoicing at the way Inho stills and his breath stutters.
"Don't tempt me," he murmurs, kissing Gihun's neck, the other hand reaching for his butt and squeezing hard, to the point of pain.
"Ouch! Inho!"
He laugh and pokes his side before letting him go: "C'mon, we have a lunch to prepare."
Gihun blinks, looks down and sighs in relief when he sees no tent: "You are so going to be left with blue balls tonight, Hwang Inho."
The day after Gihun's, apparently, 'tic toc famous', or so Gayeong says. Junho finds the situation hilarious. Inho gently asks Gayeong to delete the video - although he made sure to download it before that.
