chapter six

‎

Minjeong got pretty fond of the dreamies after just a few hours of knowing them.

She was never the type to willingly socialize, which is why most of her friends were either from her hometown, university, or the underground.

As Taeyong promised, the girl raced her eighth race on Monday, winning a solid amount of cash, and after she got home and recounted all her savings, she found out that she already had enough to buy her dream car, the Ford Mustang, her dream car ever since she was in elementary school.

However, being the saver she was, Minjeong thought against the idea of buying herself the car now, thinking it would be a better idea to buy the new model when it comes out and when she'll have more money.

So, putting all of her savings back into the hidden compartment under her bed, she searched for the date when the new Mustang would be released. To her surprise, she didn't have to wait much longer, considering it would most likely be released by the end of the year or even sooner by some speculations. Minjeong fist-bumped the air and decided to just look for the car part she wanted to modify for her future car.

Knowing that Taeyong had a few people in the field, Minjeong called him up and asked who would be able to help her the most. Taeyong told her that it would be best to ask Johnny for help, and that Mark could probably help her as well, but that he wasn't as experienced yet.

Not having any assignments that week that she didn't already finish, Minjeong decided to go to AESPA's apartment and hang out with her girlfriends.

She was almost lucky enough to walk past Chenle and Jaemin, but the younger boy noticed her and greeted her. Not having much of a choice, Minjeong got into a small conversation with the Chinese boy while Jaemin just stood on the side.

"So you have enough money now?" Chenle asked, not being sure if he got it right, "Yeah. But I won't buy the car yet, I'm waiting for the new model to come out, and then I can buy and modify it." Minjeong replied with a small smile.

She was glad she finally found someone she could talk cars with, and even though Chenle wasn't a street racer, he appeared to know a lot about racing cars and gear.

"That's so cool." Chenle gaped at her in awe, amazed at how the young girl saved up so much money in such little time.

"That's stupid," Jaemin mumbled under his breath, but unfortunately, Minjeong was close enough to hear his remark, "Why is it stupid?" Minjeong shot back.

She couldn't put a finger on it, but something about Na Jaemin pissed her off. And it pissed her off a lot. Maybe it was the fact that he was a better rank than her or maybe the fact that he didn't like her.

Either way, she would've liked to punch the boy right then and there for saying that her thoughts were stupid.

"First of all, why Ford Mustang when you can get a Supra? Second off, why wait for the new model that's going to be more expensive when you can just buy the latest and modify it? Third off, are you sure you know enough about cars to even know what kind of modifications you are allowed to do?" Jaemin asked making Minjeong scoff.

"Misogyny, huh? What makes you think that I don't know anything about cars? The model that is coming out this year is not more expensive and it sure as hell looks nicer than the one that came out a few years ago. So tell me, are you going to continue hating me because I exist, if so, I can do it ten times better than you." Minjeong said as she purposely bumped shoulders with the taller male, making him scoff.

"What makes you think I hate you?" Jaemin questioned.

"You know, for someone that is involved with the underground, you don't know how to hide certain things well. For example, your ego." Minjeong replied and made her way into the elevator, leaving the two boys stunned.
