C H A P T E R - E I G H T 'STARLOST CIRCUIT'

Jeongin's Pov

I headed home after that conversation with Minho's group then Chans himself, tonight was going to be absolutely crazy! We haven't raced for a while and everytime we raced it would be either against each other or some randoms we came along at the track while we were there. The nerves were getting to me slowly. I decided to head to the convenience store to see if I could find something to eat. Jumping on my Kawasaki I rode off to the closest store.

Arriving at the store I parked my bike beside the place and walked inside. The chime from the door welcomed me as well as the cashier who bowed at me, I bowed in return. I made my way over to the noodle section to find my favourite noodles only to seemingly run into someone who was bent down head deep into the shelf trying to find something, which I was assuming noodles as well. I wandered over beside them and tried to find my noodles.

I found my noodles and made my way over to the heated water dispenser filling my cup up. I was sitting around waiting for them to be ready when that guy who was kneeling down looking for noodles as well walked over, only then did i realise it was the boy from earlier 'what was his name again...' I thought. Before I knew it he was talking to me.

"Omg, it's you... Out of all the people, why the hell did I have to run into the king" Seungmin scoffed harshly.

"Why the hell do you keep calling me king? What is your issue, the other guys are getting along and we can't?" I questioned sternly.

"One. I bet anything you are self centred and love attention, douchebag"

"Two. you're a stranger who I barely met properly a few hours ago"

"Th-" Seungmin was about to continue

"Okay, time to shut up. I've had it to about here" I said gesturing above my head "You are making all these baseless assumptions which you just said yourself; you barely met me a few hours ago" I barked back "So. Back. Off." I ended

I think Seungmin was flabbergasted at how feisty I was, but I'm sure he found it hard to not disagree with what I had just said, he was wrong to just assume all these things about me. He created this stereotype probably from my looks. Maybe he was scared to go near me but deep down he maybe wanted to be my friend.

"Look. I'm really sorry... uh... I take back everything I've said about you, really" Seungmin tried reassuring me"I want to be your friend, honestly! I was just scared, or I don't know, worried?" He questioned himself.

I was right! I knew it!

"I sorta understand that feeling, but let's put the past behind us and I say from this point on we are friends! Deal?" I smiled sweetly

"Deal!" Seungmin agreed

Seungmin and I ended up having a long conversation together talking about our likes and hobbies and eating some cooked ramen. We both got along very much and I was happy that we were able to come to a mutual agreement for friendship. That's when something clicked, I looked down on his watch and saw the time.

"Oh shit! Man we gotta get going now!" I fretted "It's half past 8!" I added.

"Oh fuck. Let's go!" Seungmin shrieked

We ran to our bikes, placed our helmets on and rode off speedily side by side to Starlost Circuit. Once we had arrived we split ways and headed to our own groups,I headed to our designated spoken spot, which was just located behind the circuit. When I arrived I was the last one.

"Late again, nice job. What were you doing this time" Changbin smirked

"I went to the convenience store to get a late snack and ran into a friend had a chat and got distracted, that's all" I clapped back
