The Racer || Changlix

The Racer (Revising)

Another easy victory.

The boy grins behind his mask as he throws his fist into the air while the audience are roaring loudly, because he apparently made history for beating their long-time champion, Killa, who's known to be vicious and murderous but he's just another easy win for him.

After all, they don't call him the Undefeated for nothing.

Changbin is currently setting up the guest bed that's placed in one of the guest rooms in his mansion even though he knows that it's pointless, because it's not going to be used, but his parents always taught him to always to be prepared whenever a guest comes over. He's home alone at the moment as his married brother is living with his family while their parents are enjoying their vacation for the month. The reason why he was setting up the guest bed is because Minho's sleeping over for the night. Not that Changbin mind having Minho over nor preparing a room for his friend to sleep in even though his older friend would most likely sleep in his room instead, but it's seriously odd for Minho to come to his house when they have nothing planned.

"Did something bad happened at home?" Changbin wonders out loud but immediately shakes the thought off, because even though Minho's mom had remarried another man that is his step-father from Australia, Minho never mentioned about having any issues with the man. After all, Minho isn't the type to ever hide his problems from Changbin and their youngest friend, Seungmin. Not to mention that Changbin would spend some time with Minho's step-dad many times whenever he goes to hang out at the Lee's house, and the Australian man has been nothing but sweet and loving to all of them. So, that's off the list.

Then, could it be his step-brother?

Minho's step-father actually had married an Australian woman before he married Minho's mom; unfortunately, Changbin doesn't know what had happened to his ex-wife as no one had spoke about it, even Minho, so he never brought up the topic despite his dying curiosity. The former Australian couple had a son named Felix, who came to live in South Korea with his father after his second marriage.

Shockingly, Changbin actually never met Felix despite the amount of times he went to the Lee's house as the boy is never home during the day for some weird reason and would get home late into the night; to which, Changbin would be at home by then as he has a habit of sleeping early. Changbin had learned from Minho that Felix doesn't allow anyone in his room whenever the boy isn't present and he left no current photos of himself outside of his room, except for that one picture of Felix as a young boy with his dad at a zoo in Australia. Mr. Lee actually showed Changbin that photo himself and told him every little story about Felix's embarrassing encounters with the animals there; apparently, Felix was always way too friendly for his own good, and the animals didn't view him as a friend so he often got pounced by some feisty animals by getting too close to them. Thinking back, Changbin feels slightly bad for laughing at Felix because the poor kid was just trying to be friendly.

In other words, Changbin doesn't know the boy personally but Minho once mentioned that he's overprotective and hyper all the time; surprisingly, he's even close friends with that Jisung kid (the brat Minho would complain about twenty-four/seven, much to Changbin's annoyance, because he could honestly care less to hear about their childish squabble), and they all had graduated high school last year with Seungmin. However, Minho never mentioned anything about Felix being a problematic kid, so that's also off the list.

Changbin frowns as he leaves the guest room and goes to the living room, where his phone is charging on the coffee table. The short boy sits down on the sofa as he checks his phone to see if Minho had left any messages regarding the situation, but sighs again when he saw none, "If it's not a family emergency, then what is it?"
