That morning, Minu woke you all up by screaming about god knows what.

"What's gotten into you first thing in the morning?" Dom asked sleepily as he rose from his slumber.
"Did you have a nightmare?" He added after Minu's lack of answer.

"No," Minu said standing up abruptly. "We have a race today so we should get up early."

You groaned and tried to hide as deep inside your blanket as you possibly could. Dom slapped Vinny's ass and ripped the blanket from over your head.

"Wakey wakey," he said in a voice that would be creepy if it came from anyone but him. Vinny didn't move a muscle, you sat up feeling defeated.

"This dick is impossible to wake up once he falls asleep," Dom whispered as he got up leaving you and Vinny behind.

Vinny rolled over and you looked at each other for a bit. His red eye looked a lot less impressive when he'd just woken up. Still, it was as beautiful as ever.

"Can't even have peace in my own fucking home," He groaned before getting up. You followed after him though you wish you could've slept the day away.

In the kitchen, Jay was making a delectable breakfast that could probably be part of the most prestigious restaurant in Korea's menu. Dom was visibly drooling at the sight.

"Don't just stand there watching. Set the table so we can eat," Jay said as if this was a daily occurrence.

Minu and Dom obeyed with no complaints. Vinny watched the scene bewildered, he'd lost his title as king of the house. You pat his back and joined the two other boys.

The league of streets tournament seemed to get louder and louder. This morning was no exception. The speakers spit out music like their life was on the line. People were screaming either to be heard over the music or just to scream. Everything around you made some kind of noise. You could almost hear your own brain pulsating inside your head.

"I wonder how Mia's doing today," Minu said to no one in particular as he stretched an arm over his head.

"She's got Yuna with her, don't worry," Dom answered.

"Hey! What happened to your faces?" The fish-looking guy with the teal hair yelled as he approached your group. You'd gotten so used to the bruises on your faces you'd nearly forgotten about them and the fight that had caused them.
"Were you in a gang fight?" Fish guy added with a laugh.

"Yeah. With those guys behind you," Minu said looking past them to where Hwangyeon and his buddies stood.

"I see you all managed to get away," The wicked witch of the west spoke up as if on cue. You rolled your eyes, an automatic response you'd developed over the years. That dick's voice aggravated you.

"What's with the mask? Did you get a nose job?" Dom asked almost mockingly.

"I'd really like to pound the shit out of you all right here," Hwangyeon added in what he probably wished was an intimidating tone.

"You wish," You spat but not loud enough for him to hear.

"That bastard!" Minu spat more than loud enough. Dom held him back so he wouldn't cause a scene.

"Anyway," Hwangyeon said with a devilish smile. "We have a race today so let's be civil."

"Civil my ass!" Minu yelled again.

The ghost crew didn't bless him with an answer.

'The race is scheduled to begin shortly so we ask that each team select two main riders and gather in the central hall'
