DRIVE! (hiatus)

convenience store guy

8.

Tablo announced the winner and took Hanbin's hand fisting the air, Bobby could see a slight smile on his face tho he's facing the ground.

DK half running with a shocked expression all over his face, he's trembling when touching his car, "h-how... you—"

People gathered around them, locking Bobby inside the human circle. He's not going anywhere anyway, though it's humiliating but he got to know this guy.

He's interested.

Bobby plug-out his car key, ready to handed it over to Hanbin later. When he can't help but scoffing to see how dumbfounded is DK right now.

"How did you do that???" DK came in between, "see, hyung?? See?? My religion is capable!!" he's excited.

"I'm a little curious too," suddenly the guy named Kai who own the Mazda spoke, "why don't you give us a little speech about how you did it? Is it really just pure luck?"

Hanbin turned to him, "I never said it was luck... it's skill." He said, no smile at all, then turned to Bobby, "give me your car."

Bobby felt a little pinch in his heart, wanted to cursed this motherfucker so bad but he gotta be fair, he threw the key to Hanbin and he perfectly caught it. And Bobby was so ready to another show Hanbin will put, maybe he'll jumped into Bobby's mustang, revving it up like a jerk and leave the area like a freaking drama star. But Hanbin handed the key to DK.

"It's yours now." He said.

There's a millisecond silence that feels like forever.

DK's mouth hangs open, "w-what?"

"You borrowed me your car, you made me win. Car's is yours. Now," Hanbin turned to Tablo, "can I get the money?"

Bobby stand off the car, he's walking closer to Hanbin, they share similar height, it's not hard to search for his eyes. Bobby raised his eyebrow.

"Who the fuck are you?" Bobby asked.

"Thought you knew, I'm Hanbin, the cashier of a convenience store."

And that's it because second after that, he secure the wad of cash inside his pocket and he left, he's gone.

Ignoring people bustling around him, he went towards the big street, waving his hand to a passing cab, jump into it and gone.

Sigh. Jinan massage his own temple, beside him is Rae, they've been looking for the address he snapped from the boxes in Hanbin's house and they found a big house in Seoul which belongs to Hanbin's parents.

"Finally I know where he might be." Jinan relieved.

"You gonna fly there, hyung?" Rae asked.

"Maybe." He sunk further to the armchair. "I'm unemployed anyway."

Rae sulks, he hates the fact that days a go Jinan came to him telling him that he quit. He said he didn't have fall out with Benjamin, but he couldn't work for anyone beside Hanbin.

What breaks Rae's heart—probably June's heart too—is the fact that Benjamin immediately granted his wish, he let go of Jinan that easy, knowing Jinan is one of the best mechanic exists.

"I know you don't have to work for the rest of you life anymore since you must be paid a lot." Rae murmured.

"You're not wrong, but when Ben wanted to transfer my last salary, I refuse it."
