Chapter 47 – Off-road Part I
TOP SPEED
Soojung’s POV
The day of the race finally came and I’m nervous as hell. I couldn’t focus in my classes so Sulli and Taemin covered up for me, saying that I’m having my period and was in pain. They told me to have a good rest since they also knew how I wasn’t able to have a decent sleep last night.
