Perspective: Nayeon

I fall asleep in the car while driving towards the dorm. I've been working for my single album for a long time now. It will come out soon, but it is really tiring. I hope Onces are going to love it and I'm happy because of my members' support.

The manager wakes me, once we are in front of the building. My cheeks burn like fire as I still think about the dream I just had. Why can't I get him out of my mind? I'm usually focused on my career and the girls. I don't have time for a boyfriend.
Entering the dorm, I see Tzuyu occupying the sofa as she watches TV. I walk into the kitchen where I see Sana and Jeongyeon preparing the food they ordered for us. Sana hands me my salmon sushi and I decide to join our maknae on the couch. Yoda's eyes are glued to the screen. The wrapping around her indicates, she is already stuffing herself with the second burger of the night. A few drops of sauce stain her leggings, but she doesn't seem to notice them. Shifting my attention towards the tv, I remember what the staff talked about during lunch. (Y/n)'s race!
Everywhere I go he is involved!
Tzuyu had to turn down the volume, because Jihyo was talking on the phone. Now she presses the button on the remote until the living room is filled with roaring engines.

The screen shows a blue car.
"Come into the pit lane now, Fernando!"
"And now we are hearing the order from the Alpine team! Alonso is coming in, this lap!"
I see the car driving slower ad it leaves the race track. While it drives towards it's garage, the camera switches to another car.
"We are now on board with (y/n) Lee! He managed to overtake Alonso two laps ago, but now it's possible that Alpine's strategy is going to call them out!"
The red and white car goes around a corner incredibly fast. It comes so close to the wall, that my sushi falls from my chopsticks. Now I understand why Gahyeon looked concerned, while she watched (y/n) race.
"Alfa Romeo needs to respond to this now! Will Lee come into the pits after this lap?"
Tzuyu pauses from plundering her dinner.
"He needs to be really fast now."
I don't know if she is talking to me or herself.
I feel something warm in my stomach, when I hear (y/n)'s voice over the team radio.
What the hell is wrong with me?!
"He just pitted."
"That is correct. You need to come in, this lap."
"Ok."
"Box and pit confirm please, (y/n). Box and confirm."
The screen now shows the blue car again.
"Here comes Alonso, who is now on the hard compound tyres! Lee has to give it everything this lap, to keep the gap between him and the Alpine!"
The camera switches again to a battle between a green and a white-blue car, until I see (y/n) again. He is now driving slowly on a straight, which I now assume is the pit lane.
"Orlen has to nail this pit stop now! Tyres go off! Tyres are on! On he goes! And this was an incredible pit stop! 2.3 seconds stationary time only! But will it be enough to keep his seventh place?! Alonso is now going around turn 19! This is it! (Y/n) Lee comes out! Ahead of the Alpine by quite a margin! He didn't just keep the gap between the two cars! It has now even grown by two tenths of a second! This is an incredible performance by Lee!"

Perspective: (y/n)

Lap: 29

"Gap?"
"0.6 seconds."
I've been clinging to Vettel's rear wing for almost two laps now. While I keep closing the gap, I see him struggle on his older tyres.
"You should manage to overtake him with in this lap."
I try my best to come closer as Vettel goes into turn 13 in front of me.

Coming out of turn 29, I ask again.
"Gap?"
"0.5 seconds."
Our wheels almost touch now as we enter the last corner.
"You are on DRS."
As my rear wing opens, I pick up the pace, moving to the inside. Vettel tries to take the inside line, but I'm already next to him. Crossing the line, I start lap 30 ahead of the German.
"Nice go, mate. Next car ahead is Gasly. Gap is 1.3 seconds."

I eat the rest of my sushi in peace, while (y/n)'s car isn't the main focus of the camera right now.
I hear Tzuyu sigh next to me as she finishes her burger.
"I envy Dreamcatcher so much."
"How come?"
I look at her and she turns her head.
"Because (y/n) is Gahyeon's brother, he signed a contract with their company. He has their logo and name on his helmet."
I still don't get how Tzuyu became so obsessed with (y/n). I don't want to admit it, but in a weird way it makes me angry at Yoda. I can't put a finger on it. The last couple of days, my feelings were total chaos. I can't focus without thinking about (y/n). I cannot explain it.

"We are now on lap 41 of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix! He finally got close enough for DRS as Lee now enters the last corner of this lap right behind Gasly! Lee pitted more often than the Frenchman, but his fresher tyres are now paying off! He gets into his slipstream and with DRS he literally cruises past Pierre Gasly! This is the third time today, that Lee has made up a place on the main straight!"
I see (y/n) driving past the other car. He is so much quicker. Suddenly a small window with a purple frame pops up on the top of the screen.
"Oh my goodness! Can you believe it? While (y/n) Lee overtakes Pierre Gasly, he takes the fastest lap of this race so far! This is incredible! Amazing performance today by the Korean!"
Tzuyu jumps up and cheers.
I read whats written in the window.
Fastest lap: (y/n) Lee. Underneath his time is being displayed. 1:46.045.
