THE DAY CAME FOR the group's meet up at the race car place and Yeong waited patiently outside of the Hwang estate for Eun-ae. Upon hearing the door opening, he looked up to see Hwang Hideki, Eun-ae's older brother.
"What's up, Hideki?" The two high-fived before fist bumping. Yeong had a close relationship with all of Eun-ae's siblings to the point where they thought of him as part of the family and he couldn't be more grateful.
"You're waiting for Eun-ae again?" Hideki smirked as Yeong looked at their home again. "Honestly, you two need to get together already. You're torturing us all." He sighed as he patted the Shin boy on the back.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
The two turned the their heads once they heard hurrying foot steps to see Eun-ae quickly running over to them. She panted, slowly catching her breath. "D-Did I keep you waiting?" She said awkwardly.
"You know that you never keep me waiting," Yeong opened the door of his car for her, letting her sit down before closing it. "We'll see you later, Hideki." Eun-ae waved as he started the car.
"You two take care of each other alright," Hideki shouted as they drove off and he shook his head. "Those two."

As Yeong continued to drive, Eun-ae chewed on a piece of gum while handing some to him which he took without looking away from the road until they eventually got there.
The two got out to see just Woo-jin and He-ra together. "Jae-i and Ri-an aren't here yet?" Eun-ae questioned as she and Yeong walked towards them.
He-ra shrugged as they looked around the place. "Don't they get freaked out being here? Why do they do this?"
"I don't get it either." Woo-jin sighed.
"For the thrill. To feel alive." The four turned to see Jooshin High's lost princess, Jung Jae-i. Eun-ae smiled as she hugged the girl first, followed by Yeong who gave her a simple pat on the back and then Woo-jin.
"It's been forever," he said before pulling away. "I really missed you."
"How are you?" Jae-i asked before the three took in her attire. She was wearing a white top with a flowy black skirt, but she also had a men's button up shirt over her shoulders.
"Wow, Jae-i." Eun-ae said in fascination as she looked at the girl and Yeong could tell she was inspired somehow.
"Your outfit today is, uh, a statement." Woo-jin said awkwardly, taking in her appearance before they all heard footsteps and saw that it was Ri-an walking towards them. He and Jae-i stared at each other for a silent, awkward moment making the others feel uneasy.
He-ra looked over to the others who motioned to her say something as they shrugged. "Hey, since, it's been forever, let's celebrate," she said nervously. "You know, let's go somewhere after this. Let's have fun."
"Hello, Jae-i," those were the first words Ri-an said since he got there. "You've really got nothing to say?"
"He-ra," the girl turned her head to Jae-i in confusion. "I'm gonna play a game with Ri-an."
"A game? Like what?"

It was a game of racing, race car racing to be exact between Jae-i and Ri-an, and Jae-i won in the end after three laps which was shocking to the others as they walked over to the two after the race.
"Yah, why were you driving like that? You could have gotten hurt, Jae-i." Ri-an stated in concern which hurt Eun-ae and Yeong. They knew even though she left for so long, he would always care deeply about her.
"I won," Jae-i simply replied. "I won, so now... I'll tell you my wish," they all waited for her wish, but what came next really hurt Ri-an in the end. "We're finished. I'm done."
"Guys... let's go." Yeong said as he grabbed Eun-ae's wrist to give the two some space. Sure he wanted to understand why they were acting this way, but he felt like it was their business, not his.
"I don't get," He-ra started. "Did something happen before she went to America?"
Woo-jin sighed as he rubbed his head. "I don't know. I have no idea. I've never seen them act this way."
Eun-ae and Yeong glanced at each other in concern as they continued to walk away from their two friends breaking apart and it would only get worse from here on out.
