IX – Expensive and Illegal

From all you’d seen of him, you had expected Park Jonseong to be a cocky biker with an ego larger than life, but he was nothing like that at all. You hadn’t been talking to him for long—the distance between the tracks and the car section of the Death Valley Garage wasn’t much—but you were already learning more about him. He was a second-year business management major at Suwon National as well, who had moved from Washington, USA for university. One thing had led to another and here he was now, the ace of a decently popular illegal biking ring. His softer, mellower personality—at least, compared to everyone else you’d met so far—was the complete contrast of what anyone would picture from that description, but somehow it fit him. The only part of his personality that fit the cocky biker image you had of him in your head was his tendency to crack flirty, but still bashfully ‘Jay’ jokes.

And that was all he was doing now. He was leading you through a separate part of Death Valley Garage, lined with cars you weren’t sure were legal, and cracking jokes all the while. Most of them were lame and cornier than anything, but seeing him smile was something you found yourself enjoying more and more.

Jay smiled particularly wide as he made his way to a sleek, grey car with a smooth and modern design. He patted the hood of the car gently, a fond look in his eyes, before looking back up at you. “Here’s our ride for the night.”

“Wow, it looks…” you trailed off, fully taking in the car.

It looked brand new and spotless, the top coat of paint still fresh and untouched by anything. The moon’s rays reflected off the shiny, glossy grey covering most of the car’s body, complimenting its cool hue. From where you were standing, you could see a few details Jay had probably added—a thin, black line tracing the edges of the car, a custom-made licence plate printed with his name, and a tiny print of something you couldn’t see along the inner border of the hood.

It screamed many things at you, but it mainly screamed two things. You spared Jay a glance. “It looks expensive and illegal.”

He laughed. “Yeah, it is—well, it was legal before I got it modded. It’s a newer model too, so it wasn’t easy getting my hands on it.”

Your eyes widened, as you whistled underneath your breath. “A newer model? You must be fucking loaded if you can afford this. How much does racing pay?”

“Actually, I got it from a race. Everyone bet their cars instead of money, and I won so now this baby’s mine.” He pulled out his key, pressing a button to unlock the car, which replied with a smooth beep. “I don’t think I ever raced as hard as I did that day. I mean, this is a 2021 edition of a Genesis G70 we’re talking about. The horsepower on this thing alone is insane, and…”

The rest of Jay’s words went in one ear and out the other. You didn’t mean to blank out, you were genuinely trying to pay attention to his words, but the terms he was using weren’t words you were used to at all. Instead of actually taking in his words, you nodded along to his words now and then, staring at his lips.

He paused, snapping you out of your daze. As you realised he’d caught onto your staring, a smug smirk stretched his lips. “Are you even listening to me?”

Suddenly, the floor was very interesting to look at, and you studied the skid marks on the concrete floor instead of Jay’s face. You mumbled, “No, but if it’s any consolation, you’re really pretty.”

“Hm, what was that?”

You considered repeating the words to him, but the faint sound of running engines and chatter reminded you of where you were. You shook your head and gestured for Jay to get into the car. “Ah, never mind. You have a race to get to, remember?”

Opening the driver’s door, he corrected you with a soft smile. “We have a race to get to. You’re my good luck charm, don’t forget that.”

A smile was itching to break out on your lips at that, but you resisted the urge and ducked into the passenger’s seat of the car instead.

Eyes widening, you marvelled immediately at the interior. Just like the exterior, it was mainly made of cool tones. Cream leather covered the seats, and even parts of the gears, complimenting the all-black controls in front of you. The same modern look the outside carried was maintained throughout the inside; the main touch-screen monitor and seamless buttons were just two, among many, of the gadgets the car held.

While you were admiring the interior, Jay slipped into the car, and you couldn’t help but think the design complimented him. His simple, yet effective outfit made of a plain, white tank, dark leather pants, and a dark leather jacket contrasted well against the car’s cream seats. And, then, his dark hair tinged with gold highlights completed the touches of grey on the controls. He looked like he was in his element–he was in his element–checking and double-checking the height and position of his chair like it was something he’d been doing since he was born. You wouldn’t be surprised if he had been doing this since he was born.

With a final adjustment of his chair, he buckled in and started the car with a simple press of a button. There wasn’t the roar you expected from a car this powerful, but the sound that followed was more of a soft hum. Along with it, the monitor came to life, a melodic tune playing as it did. A soft, robotic voice came from the monitor, causing a light smirk to lift Jay’s lips.

Finally, the car was ready, and it seemed like the racer was too.

Jay checked his seat adjustments one more time and shifted the gear into drive, keen eyes set on you. “Are you ready, lucky charm?”

The nickname sent a thrill down your spine, and you just wanted him to call you that over and over and over again. Instead of saying all of that though, you returned a smirk of your own, blood rushing in your ears. “Ready.”

last week of school before spring break let’s gooo!!!

for the ask game — separation anxiety (inspired by char), lips like honey, and the homes we don't live in

ty alice for sending in an ask!! even though i’m so late w my reply 😭😭 but you’re so outta pocket for the first one omg 💀💀 chae are u seeing this but tbh all of these are such good titles so i hope i did them justice!

i. separation anxiety (jungwon)

It’s the year E-789 and HumanET (humanity) has changed drastically from what it was in the 21st century. Now, Humans aren’t the only species of sentient beings on Earth, there are more androids than humans in the Human population, and a war that’s been broiling for centuries is on the brink of erupting between the ETs and Humans. And, somewhere in the midst of all that—as the beginning of war breaks out—Unit Jungwon is separated from his Human guardian, you, for the first time ever in his existence, forcing him to learn to live without you. The problem with that? His mainframe was never completed and he has less than a Human month to find you before he expires.

ii. lips like honey (sunghoon)

With every kiss Incubus!Sunghoon plants on your lips, you grow frailer and he stronger. You don’t realise it, with how entranced you are—love, you call it when really it’s the bewitching of the devil himself—but when he says you have the sweetest lips he’s ever tasted, he really means it.

iii. the homes we don’t live in (heeseung)

Before Lee Heeseung had died, he’d thought the most lonely feeling in the world was not being heard, not being seen. To be among a group of people, but still feel so alone was the loneliest feeling he’d ever felt.

Now, as a poltergeist stuck between this world and the next, wandering through different homes, he felt true loneliness.

He’d felt it when he had walked through his parents’ home and his mother had stopped at a family potrait, caressed his face with the fondness and care only she could ever posses, and sighed deeply before carrying on with her day. He’d felt it when he had walked through the homes of his friends and spotted the visible marks he’d left in their lives—a seat at Jay’s house their family had got just for him since he had an allergic reaction to their other chairs, a scratch on Jake’s wall they’d left when they’d gotten into a scuffle and immediately laughed about after, and the obvious imprint of his body on Sunghoon’s beanbag which still remained untouched even months after his funeral. He’d especially felt it when he had walked through your home—his home—and you’d still been sleeping in the guest room, tears streaking your face every time you had to walk past your shared bedroom.

And, as he’d tried to reach out and catch your tears, Heeseung had realised he’d never felt so alone in his own home.

i keep seeing all my moots interact w ppl on their blogs and 😭😭😭 i wish i could be y’all but this app reminds me of how introverted i rlly am 😭 just posting this to let y’all know i’m not ignoring u i’m just trying to cope 😞
