[Stray Kids]
Felix needed more money, and busking in other Districts isn't enough. When he was running away from thugs that wanted to take away the money he earned from busking, Chan came to save him, but also made a deal with him that can be both beneficial and risky for Felix: to race in Acceleration.
Acceleration is a street racing event where teen and young adult males gather to either race, watch or bet on their favorite racers from each hierarchy. Everyone has a place in the heirarchy, those in the bottom, or more known as those who suffer poverty, are runners, the middle tiers are those on bicycles, the high tiers, or those known to be rich, race using their cars or motors, those who watch and gamble are those who are at the top, heirs to billionaires, CEOs, politicians and royalty of South Korea, racers liked to call them The Gamblers. Every race must have two participants per team, and the last five racers to finish all laps will be punished severely by men called The Dispatchers.
Felix didn't know that he'd be into something that would make a great change into his life.

Lee Felix is a star - adored on screen, envied off it. But beneath the fame and flashing lights, he's restless. Trapped by contracts, suffocated by rules... and secretly obsessed with a world he's never been allowed to touch: racing.
When he sneaks into a live race one night, hidden behind a mask and sunglasses, he isn't prepared to see him-Hwang Hyunjin, Korea's most famous racer. Charismatic, untouchable, unforgettable.
That single moment sparks an obsession.
Two years later, Felix is cast in a drama based on Hyunjin's life. It's the role of a lifetime-until he finds out he has to learn how to drive, and worse... Hyunjin himself has insisted on teaching him.
What begins as admiration spirals into tension. Chemistry. Glances that linger too long. Touches that mean too much.
Felix knows he's in too deep.
Hyunjin just might be too.
And at the edge of the track, between roaring engines and quiet moments... feelings start to blur.
"It was never just about driving."
