DRIVE! (hiatus)

fundraise

22.

it's few days after the interview, as expected Bobby didn't even get into a test drive, Jinu was right, the audition closed with the A team adding three new racers, Mino, Hoony, and Jihyo, first female racer in A team.

Everyone is gathered in the dining hall, a big table for 12 people which got Dongi questioned why do rich people always have such a long table while the person living there is probably less than a hand.

"So, are we agree that we'll make our own racing team?' Hanbin asked.

Everyone's exchanging gaze.

Jinan stood up, "Bin, just a reminder that... we don't have a garage, a training track, most importantly a money to start anything."

"Hanbin's rich." Dongi said.

"Not anymore." Jinan said.

"You're rich." Dongi ponted at Jinan.

"Not enough."

"Lisa's rich." Dongi shifted to Lisa.

"Hey, I'm not investing!"

"Oh come oooon." Dongi raised his hands.

"Stingy." Jennie murmured.

"What did you say??" Lisa turned to Jennie.

"Girls!" Jinan sighs. "Who's good at numbers?"

No one replying.

"You, hyung." Hanbin pointing at Jinan.

"Ah right, am I really the best in everything here? So tiring." Jinan rolled his eyes.

Suddenly Chanwoo raised his hand, "I kind of... good at math."

"Holy fuck, yes! Chanwoo is really good at math, he, he won," Dongi turned to Jennie, "he won uh—what's the name?"

"Math olympiad, dumbass."

"Right!" DK shouts.

"Really??" Even Bobby surprised.

"Alright, so me and Chanwoo will be making the business plan..." he paused, "even though I really don't know where we gonna get the money from. I mean, we gotta get cash. Hanbin might still have his properties in the States but I believe it's freeze by Ben right now."

"Can we borrow money from you or Lisa?" Hanbin ask.

"It will be very suspicious to have my money wired to Seoul in big amount, and there's no way Ben wouldn't notice. Same goes to Lisa, there's no way Marco won't notice about her asset movements." Jinan said.

"Is your house in the US is now occupied by your evil ex boss?" Donghyuk asked.

"Which one?" Hanbin asked back.

"You house... you know, your home."

"The one in LA?" Hanbin asked.

"I don't know... how many houses you have?!" DK sneered.

"Many."

DK almost choke from his drink, he doesn't expecting the answer.

"Some houses in LA, New York, resting villas, apartments, condos..."

"Damn he said it in plurals..." DK hissed.

Hanbin smiles, "but those don't matter anymore, Dong, it's not mine anymore."

"Well legally still yours," Jinan said, "the will still hasn't been settled for the houses."

"Ok, whatever," Hanbin smiles, "so... money huh?"
