~Racer⚡️~

Lee Minho was a famous figure in his town. He was a racer, so almost all the boys and girls of all ages knew, who he was. The man was popular not only for his skills, but for his lovely appearance too. He was handsome for sure. His soft chocolate hair, expressive eyes, cat-like smile, defined muscles, especially his thighs, nice sense of style. Well, girls were simping for him, and not only girls if being completely honest. The racer loved eating the hearts of his fans. His ego grew stronger as the days passed, as he won more and more competitions, as he won more and more attention from people. But he wasn't selfish, no. Confident? Very much. But not selfish and arrogant at all.

Every Friday a race was held at the racetrack or in the city centre. When it was a private event, which you would need tickets for, the race happened at their private racetrack and then they would celebrate the victory at an after party. When it was a public event, to which you could just come and look, the race happened in the streets, with the competitors coming uninvited.
On one of those nights, Minho was preparing for his usual "Friday routine".  Standing beside his car, he was fixing his hair, when his friend Hyunjin walked over to him. The younger was grinning.
-What's the matter?
-Hyung, I've got some nice news for you!
-Spill it.
-Today our team is expecting a new member, - he said excitedly.
-What do you mean?
-You'll see.

That's all he said before hitting the man on his shoulder and walking away. This whole situation made the older feel a bit weird. He definitely was awaiting to see the person and impress him, of course, but he also felt a slight discomfort in his stomach.. was he nervous?

He didn't have enough time to process, because a roaring sound of an engine was heard. A super cute, light pink car parked right next to him. An equally cute boy appeared from it. He smiled brightly as he approached Minho.
-Hey there, grumpy cat, - the younger smirked, reaching his hand out for a handshake, - I'm Han Jisung, nice to meet you.

The racer could only open his mouth to greet the boy back, when Hyunjin rushed over and interrupted him.
-Oh, Jisungie, you're here already! This is Minho, you probably know him already.
-Yeah, it's a shame not to know such a man, - his eyes scanned the one in front from top to bottom, a smirk not leaving his face.
-Could you say at least one word, hyung?
-Hey. Nice to meet you, Jisung, - he finally shook the hand, that was held out.
-Great.... How friendly.., - Hyunjin was a bit concerned about the older's attitude.
-Not a problem, the cold quiet ones always the best kissers, - Jisung added swiftly.
-Huh? I didn't catch that, - the mutual friend said.

The other two kept strong eye contact, as if they are trying to burn holes in their opponent. The corners of Minho's lips raised the slightest bit. He let go of the hand and went off.

-He's weird sometimes, don't mind that, Jisung-ah.
-He's just the way I like, I don't mind, - he smiled, following the man with his eyes, as the one disappeared, and then walked away as well.
-Oh..

The older arrived at the kitchen, pouring himself a glass of water, he drank it quickly, thinking about the situation, that happened earlier.
«Was he flirting?"
And, again, his thoughts were interrupted by Hyunjin walking in.

-He's cute, huh?, - he poked the man's side, a grin on his face.
-Hm?
-I can see through you, Ho. You find him attractive don't you?
-No, I don't.
-Yes, you absolutely do.

There was a silence between them.

-Wanna make a bet?, - the younger inquired.
-Sure.
-If Jisung wins, you'll ask him out. If you do-
-You really want to see us together?
-You guys would look cute together.. and are you doubting yourself?
-There's no way I'll lose to this boy.
-Uh-huh, he's pretty good you know..
-What's the second half of the bet?
-If you win, I'll tell him not to come anymore.
-You can bet on his future that easily?
-I believe in him.
-Alright. Bet.

They shook hands, and then Hyunjin left mumbling a quick "good luck" to his friend. He was a bit nervous, maybe he was a little too bold with his words.

Time passed, people were already filling the bleachers, it was time to start the fun. A few more contestants came, a total of 5 drivers racing today.
All of them approached their cars, waving their hands, smiling. Except for Minho, he kept his cool, just flashing his cat-like smile from time to time.
Jisung was made to be in the spotlight, he waved and posed for the photos, giggling. The older man spared glances at the boy, feeling his warm aura suck him in slowly.

They all sat down, engines roared loudly, lights flashing, people cheering.

Red.
Yellow.
3...2...1...
Green.

The cars sped off. It was a real battle. But in a minute two cars were in the lead. The white-red Honda and the pink Toyota. It was tense. One coming ahead, but the other soon catching up and overtaking. The fans were chanting loudly. The race was coming to its end. Who's going to be first?

Minho was confident in his victory, seeing the distance between him and the other increasing. But Jisung wasn't giving up that easily, he pushed the gas pedal down, catching up on the racer. The finish was just a few meters away. The older turned his head and struggled to keep calm. He saw the boy's car lining up with his. And he also saw how the younger smiled widely and winked at him, when their eyes crossed. Lee gripped onto his steering wheel and tried to take the lead again.
