Heartbeat (Im Nayeon X Male Reader)

Baku

Perspective: (y/n)

Lap: 45

"He is quicker than you on the straights."
Driving through turn 13 I see the Mercedes in front of me.
"You need to make up for that in the corners."
"Gap?"
"Two seconds. There are six laps to go."
As Mike said, Hamilton is faster than me on the straights. Probably because of the better car. If I want to get closer, I need to ace every corner from now on.
"My front right is starting to give up."
I talk to Mike as soon as I realize it.
"Alright, mate. You pitted later. His tyres are worse right now."
I go into another corner, almost touching the wall as I take it as tight as possible.

Perspective: Nayeon

I see (y/n)'s car almost touching a wall again, as he drives through a corner. I am scared that he is going to hurt himself. I don't understand why I'm feeling this way.
Next to me, Tzuyu is still glued to the screen.
"This is going to be close."
"What do you mean?"
"(Y/n) has only three more laps to overtake Hamilton."
I still don't get how Yoda is so interested in this sport.
"Now we are seeing both of them coming down the main straight! (Y/n) Lee chasing after Lewis Hamilton! There is now a 1.3 second gap! It takes Hamilton beyond that DRS threat! But for how long?! Because Lee keeps gaining and gaining on Hamilton!"
I can't help but cross my fingers for (y/n). I can understand how hard it must be to drive so fast. It's really dangerous.
"On the way towards turn three you can see how much faster the Mercedes is on the straights! Lee will have to make up for that in the corners! As they now go through the next right hander the gap starts to close once again! Lee will need to get as close as possible during the corners, otherwise he will never be able to get DRS and ahead of Hamilton!"
As the camera shows the cars from above, I can see that the distance between the two cars is smaller now. After they drive through a couple of turns, the camera switches to the inside of (y/n)'s cockpit.
"Gap?"
"Still 1.3."
"I need more power, mate!"
"It looks like Lee wants more power! Which is odd, because I think he has enough power! As he keeps closing the gap!"
I hear (y/n)'s friend over the radio.
"Strat 5 for the end of the race. Strat 5."
(Y/n) presses a button on his steering wheel and does more stuff which I don't see, because his hands are in the way.
"What did that mean?"
I ask Tzuyu, hoping that she knows.
"I think he is trying to use up all the energy he has left for the last laps. He wants to go as fast as possible now."
I'm surprised Yoda actually knows what they were talking about. Still impressed, I turn back towards the TV.
"They are now coming out of turn 19! Lee closed the gap and will soon be on DRS! Hamilton tries to defend! But when they finally reach the main straight, Lee can use his advantage! Now it's Alfa Romeo against Mercedes! A battle, which we don't see often! As (y/n) Lee tries to go around the outside of Lewis Hamilton! He starts to get ahead as they fly down the straight! Now Lee is ahead of the Mercedes!"
Tzuyu hits the air with her fist.
"Yes!"
Suddenly there is white smoke coming from (y/n)'s car. It looks like it's from one of his wheels.
"Oh, no! And Lee has a big lock up as he tries to overtake Hamilton! His front right doesn't work! He gets onto the run off area at turn one!"
"No!"
Yoda slumps back onto the couch. I'm disappointed as well. I was certain, (y/n) would get past the other car.
"Lee now gets back onto the track! He is still ahead of Gasly! But the chance to overtake Lewis Hamilton has now disappeared!"
"*****hell! I'm sorry guys!"
"Don't sweat, mate. You are still p5 and you have the fastest lap. Just bring it home now."

The rest of the race is boring, but Tzuyu wants to keep watching and wants to wait for the interviews. After quite a while (y/n) is being guided towards one of the cameras.
Once the short greeting is done, the interviewer asks questions. (Y/n) answers almost all of the questions with only a few words. A smile forms on my face as I hear him talk. I still remember the first time we met, when I thought he was rude.
"We now have to talk about that incident with Hamilton. Can you please explain to us what happened there?"
"I was going around the outside and then I locked up. It sucks that I wasn't able to get past but I can't do anything about that now. His car was faster than mine on the straights, so it was very hard for me to chase him."
"It is also incredible that you were able to take the fastest lap of the race today. Tell us how you feel."
"It feels great."
A small smile appears on his lip.
"I think it was partly because I was able to overtake Gasly with DRS which helped a lot."
"Your overall performance was incredible today. You finished fifth place and took the fastest lap. Do you have any expectations going forward?"
"Wel, I'm incredibly proud of what me and the team have achieved today. It was incredible teamwork and we definitely want to keep going like this."
"That is great to hear. I wish you all the best!"
"Thank you."
"Before you leave, I wanted to ask you one more thing. It's about the design of your helmet and your new sponsorship."
The interviewer pauses before (y/n) gestures him to keep going.
"The company that is now displayed on your helmet is called 'Dreamcatcher Company'. It is a Korean entertainment company. There wasn't anything official announced from their side, yet. Do you have anything to say?"
I'm surprised, when the reporter talks about Dreamcatcher. I didn't see his new helmet clearly, yet. Is he going to reveal his relationship with Gahyeon?
"Well, since a family member of mine works for the company I got offered a deal. We decided a business relationship would be beneficial for both sides."
The interview ends.
Seems like (y/n) won't reveal that he is Gahyeon's brother for now.
