Jennie selected her car, opened the door, and sat in the driver's seat.

Sungjae immediately dived in right after her.

"What are you doing?" Jennie watched him in confusion.

Sungjae fastened his seatbelt quickly and replied, "We are fleeing together, of course. Sister Jen, aren't you taking me along?"

He looked even more puzzled than Jennie. Judging from her expression, she didn't seem too willing to bring him along. Could she not have any intention of fleeing with him?

Jennie sighed at the sight of this little rascal. How could he have such a wild imagination? When had she said that she would flee with him? She hadn't said a single word about this. How had he managed to come up with this idea?

"Get out." Jennie peered at him and waved her fists.

"I won't!" Sungjae shook his head violently. "Sister Jen, you can't do this to me! We have to escape together!"

"Are you getting out or not?" The corners of Jennie's mouth twitched as she addressed Sungjae sharply.

"I am not! I would rather die than get out!" He sounded determined.

"Alright, it's your choice. Don't beg me when the time comes," Jennie warned him with a casual shrug.

She had already asked him to get out, but he insisted on defying her. Hence, this wouldn't be her fault.

Most experienced navigators who had undergone special training wouldn't even dare take her car.

Jennie ignored Sungjae and began to test the clutch. Next, she glanced at the accelerator and brakes.

Seconds later, the signal was heard.

At the signal, Speed's racers ignited their engines with a pleasant sound.

In the blink of an eye, all the cars sped off at lightning speed and vanished in the next few seconds.

Jennie was still trying to familiarize herself with the car and wipe away the dust on the steering wheel.

"Sister Jen, what are you doing? Are we fleeing or not?" Sungjae gazed at her, looking confused.

"Why are you rushing me? I haven't lost the race. It's not too late to flee after I've lost." Jennie stole a glance at him.

Sungjae, who was taken aback by her words, mulled it over... Her words seemed logical. She hadn't lost the race, so why should they flee? If Jennie really lost, they could both flee and spite Jang Dongyoon on purpose.

"But... Even if you want to race... Sister Jen, can you start the car? You won't be able to see them soon!" blurted Sungjae anxiously.

Jennie didn't respond. She merely threw her phone to him.

Instinctively, Sungjae caught Jennie's phone, looking perplexed. What was she trying to do?

"Sister Jen, I have a phone. I don't need yours." Sungjae peered at her.

"You think too much. Play an upbeat, thrilling song for me. I want songs that could make me burn up with excitement instantly. Otherwise, I won't be in the mood to race," quipped Jennie impatiently.

Competing with Speed's racers, who were only at level two... would be boring. She simply couldn't get excited enough about it.

...

Outside of the track, ZH1's members eyed the stationary orange car intently and shook their heads.

"What have we done? Why did we even allow that ignorant woman to wear our uniform and take our car? Is she sitting there as a form of punishment?" A ZH1 racer scoffed loudly.
