DRIVE! (hiatus)

arrogance is the death of you

7.

Jinan slammed his car door behind his back while talking to the phone with June, he's practically begging him to stay but Jinan knew his master, he probably his own boss but Hanbin for him is always more than a racer for a mechanics. Hanbin is a friend, considered family even if Hanbin seems much closer to June than Jinan.

"Tell me where the fuck he is and I'll consider your offer." He said in a cold-flat tone, he definitely learn it from Hanbin.

"If only I knew, Jin, if only I knew, I wouldn't be here right now!!" June raised his voice. "Jin, please, I need you on my team!"

"I need Hanbin as my racer!"

June paused, Jinan knew he's annoyed and he accepted it. June has the right to be annoyed since Jinan keep him on the edge.

Then with a low, irritating voice, he hissed on Jinan, "you were paid by my father, you pricked!! You shouldn't stand for him!"

Jinan scoffed, this is typical June, desperately screaming his father's name whenever he's cornered. "not anymore, June, ask your father why."

He hung up the phone, Jinan stepped off his car and look up into the tall-luxurious black iron fence and gate that surround a big lavish house in front of him.

"Well, well, who's this...?"

Bobby scanned him from head to heel, this guy is not skinny, but his frame is surely smaller than Bobby. Skin barely visible from his oversized hoodie and closed cap, but he can see those pale skin of his neck showing.

He's in the right height, slender bones structure, Bobby couldn't see his face properly but he saw glimpse of pointy nose under his cap, and fine plush lips surrounds by thin facial hair. But when he look up a little when Hanbin turned to him and glaring at him with his jet black eyes.

"Hello." Bobby said in his low husky voice.

Hanbin nodded.

"So... Hanbin, yeah?"

"Yes..." he nodded, "you're... Bobby?"

Bobby smirked, feeling the hesitation from the guy in front of him. and fright is Bobby's favorite meal.

Suddenly Bobby open his car's door and step on the doorstep make himself a little taller and visible to anyone, "HEY EVERYONE!" he shouts, "this guy right here," He pointed at Hanbin, "is challenged me for a race!"

Hanbin feels breath stuck in his gut as Bobby looking at him with beady-eyed. People started to swarm, some are giggling, some awing in mockery.

"He said he's going to beat my ass," Bobby trying not to laugh, "...with the car he doesn't have!!"

People's laughing, commenting in mean wordings and cursing him without knowing who is he. not that who is Hanbin is matter anymore. but people shouldn't curse at someone they barely knew.

Hanbin curled his fist inside his hoodie pocket. His face burn from anger, chunks of ice ripped his stomach, deathly cold sneaking up to his chest. When Jennie appeared in the shop few days ago, she didn't say anything about racing that will involved himself . Though she wasn't as friendly as she was before, Jennie invited him to see another game, she just said that Hanbin should see the race from closer place, and tonight's racing will be Bobby versus a mystery guy.

He was very excited about the mystery guy. Not knowing that it was him. Hanbin turned to Jennie who is now standing beside the cocky Mustang owner, she looked away with arm folded on her stomach, and Hanbin feel deeply betrayed.
