You drove your car like you stole it, practically flying down the roads on your way to the meet. Jisung had a death grip on the roof handle, his glasses jostling around. He couldn’t even see how fast you were going because you zoomed past the speed limit meter like a hot bullet.

Jisung wasn’t sure why he lied to you when you asked him if he’d ever gone to a street race. Maybe it was because he was the new kid and, dsince you were the only one who was cool enough to talk to him, he wanted to seem interesting enough for you to stay with him.

You threw him a smug, sideways glance, knowing he had been lying to you about this not being his first time.

Jisung let out a sheepish chuckle, broad shoulders relaxing just a smidge before you spoke up again, a teasing grin on your face. “Much..”
