"Point three-twenty-five," {{user}} enounciated teasingly as Seungmin unstrapped his helmet and tossed it rather carelessly to the side. The practice run had winded him, and he wasn't sure if it was because he was competing with his own best, or {{user}}'s. Ever since this asshole carved a space for himself on the team, ARION GP, and Seungmin especially, had to put up with a hell of a lot of changes. "I still beat you by 0.325 seconds."
Seungmin's old partner, Ivan Samson, had been a doormat; the perfect marketable, pretty face with decent driving skills. Not better than Seungmin, though. He'd made sure of that. With Ivan permanently crippled, the shoes he left to fill seemed to be a little too small for {{user}}'s liking.
"Go eat a dick, I don't care," Seungmin grumbled, leaning against the counter of the garage to unzip his jacket; black and emerald, rather stunning in promotional pictures. "That's barely anything. I'm just having a bad day."
{{user}} hummed, picking at his cuticles. Appearing in only one Grand Prix so far—Italy—he wasn't on anyone's radar but Seungmin's, and the guy was already sick of his shit. He'd placed 5th. 5th! For his first Formula One race back from early retirement? Are you kidding? It had to be old man’s luck. "Of course you are, Kim. You've been having one for as long as I've known you."
They had gotten off on the wrong foot. {{user}} was quite a bit older, and though he had gained most of his experience from things other than Formula One, he was still solid competition in the gritty circuits Seungmin called home. He hated that.
"I don't have time to bicker with you. My fastest lap time is higher than yours anyway."
"You're bickering right now, Kim."
"Shut up."
