Eyes wide open

A Race to My Heart

 

 

”Himchan, Jayla is here!”

The young and handsome male whom everyone was looking up too, gulped down the last part of the strong liquid in his glass before turning around to look at the guy that stood a few steps away from him. The club he was at was crowded as usual and the loud music that filled the room with its strong base that left the huge loudspeakers made everyone move their bodies in rhythm.

Although the huge hall was really dark and filled with a number of flashing neon lights, he could see the guy nodding his head towards the front door, mentioning for him that his stunning girlfriend was about to enter the club in a moment.

Himchan stood up from behind the bar and looked at Youngjae who was sitting right next to him.

“Where is Daehyun?” he asked loudly enough for him to hear.

Youngjae slightly shrugged with his shoulder before nodding towards the dance floor.
“Probably somewhere out there, trying to catch some nice fishes from the sea,” he winked.

Himchan looked over his shoulder as a small proud smirk formed onto his fully lips before he shook his head and told Youngjae that he would be right back.

As he walked through the drunk and touchy crowd, the urge to see his love only grew for each step he took towards the front door where the smokers had gathered. Ever since that one night that was so hard to erase from his memory, he never wanted to leave her out of his sight again and every time she wasn’t beside him, he was sick worried.

Ever since that one night, he promised himself to never let anyone touch her again. Heck he didn’t even allow anyone to look at her while he was there. Up until this day, he hasn’t forgiven himself for not being there for her when she needed him the most and the guilt killed him every time he thought about that. People say that a man learns from his own mistakes, that’s surely what Himchan did.

Just as Jayla pulled her car to the right and entered the club’s own huge parking lot, she saw people exchange looks at the sight of her and it didn’t take a genius to figure that they were talking about her. Since she was together with one of Seoul’s most talked men, it was no surprise that she was a hot topic to talk about too.

She and Himchan have been together for two years now and yet people talked about them like they were the latest trend around. Jayla knew that it was partly because Himchan was one of the few people around that had money and the coolest cars around, but also because of that one thing that happened to her a few months ago.

With closed eyes, she clenched the steering wheel in front of her at the thought from the events. Before anger could take over her mind fully, she opened her eyes again as she cleared her lounges with a deep breath before turning off the car’s engine and slowly exiting her very own Audi A5 that she loved so much.

Its black matte color was the key to its unique look. She wasn’t really charmed by all those flashy colors that cars have these days. When Himchan fixed the car for her, she specifically requested the matte color. And the dark red interior only added more personality to the four wheeled, well designed, machine.

As she closed the door and clicked the lock button on her key, she started taking determined steps towards the club’s entrance with a few people following her with their eyes, but Jayla couldn’t care less.

“Ayo Jay, is that new tires that I see there?” a familiar voice called from beside and without looking towards that direction, she knew that the person in question was none other than Yoongi.

He was one of the two guys around that managed to keep cool with every single person in this area. The second one was his best friend Namjoon, and together they were like the messenger pigeons between the different cliques.

“Yeah, why? You like them?” Jayla asked in a mocking tone as she looked over to her precious baby that was parked further away.

She could hear him in some air through his clenched teeth, “Aish, Himchan really knows how to take care of you.”

“Of course I do.”

Both of them turned their heads towards the man that just walked out of the club. With one of his hands resting in his jeans pocket and the other one loosely following his pace of walk, he smiled once his eyes landed on Jayla’s face.

“Hi beautiful,” he beamed as he reached for her hand.

“Hey,” she smiled and rested her hand onto his as she stepped closer to him and into his embrace.

“I missed you,” he spoke into her neck while resting his head on her shoulder and his arms on her waist.

“Wow, get a room guys,” commented Yoongi as he walked past them and entered the loud club again.

Jayla couldn’t help but smile from his silly comment before shaking her head slightly.
“I was away for only a few hours,” she spoke while lifting Himchan’s head from her shoulder.

“Well I still missed you,” he said softly before giving her a quick peck on her lips, which still managed to moisturize both of their lips.

As the two of them walked into the club, their ears where immediately greeted by loud and surprisingly good music. People where dancing everywhere in any kind of way which somehow amused Jayla. Some of them danced for hours without taking a break and she was really impressed by that. She couldn’t even dance for an hour straight without getting thirsty and tired right away.

“Do you want something to drink?” Himchan spoke loudly beside her ear as he was leading her forward while walking behind her.

To save her voice, she just nodded in response and without any hesitation, both of them headed towards the bar. Jayla immediately spotted her brother sitting there by the bar with his phone in his hands.

“Jae!”

The young and very good looking male turned his head towards her voice and smiled from the sight.

“Hey baby sis,” he stood while putting his phone in one of his pockets.

Jayla only rolled her eyes, “I told you not to call me that,” she spoke and took a seat beside him, “Where is Sohyun?”

“She just texted me and told me that she isn’t going to make it tonight.”

“Why not?”

“She said that she isn’t feeling good. Could be the cold,” he rubbed the back of his neck as he picked up his phone again.

Himchan who took a seat beside Jayla turned towards her brother, “You better go and check on your girlfriend man.”

“That was actually what I was thinking of doing. I will see you guys later… or no, probably tomorrow.”

“Yeah, take care man.”

And with that, Youngjae left the club, leaving the couple behind by the bar.

“What do you want to drink? Your beloved Pink Panther drink?”

“Yes please,” she smiled in response.

One of the things that Jayla loved about her boyfriend, was his incredibly good memory. He always remembered every single detail she told him and that only made her realize that he really cared about her a lot. Although these days it could be a little bit too much which lead to different arguments.

“Have you seen Hyuna somewhere?” she asked Himchan after he ordered their drinks, as she scanned through the dancing crowd in front of them.

“No, I thought she would come with you?” his statement was more of a question.

“She left a bit earlier while I had still had some things to fix.”

“So you mean you were alone for a while in the middle of this city?” his voice turned serious.

Knowing where this conversation was going, she decided not to answer and just kept on searching for Hyuna.

“Jayla,” he spoke after realizing that his girlfriend wouldn’t answer his question, “Look at me.”

Not wanting to turn the scene into a bigger one, she obeyed him and looked straight into his eyes, “What is it?”

“Did Hyuna really leave you alone in town at this hour?”

“Yes Himchan, yes she did. So what?”

“Something could have happened to you!” the worry in his voice was more than obvious to her.

“But it didn’t! I’m here now. Stop worrying, nothing’s going to happen,” she commented tiredly because the two of them have had this conversation multiple times before and she was growing really tired of it. “You know what, I will just go and find Hyuna. I’ll be back in a moment.”

“Sorry babe,” he lowered his eyes, “I didn’t mean t-“

“It’s okay,” she interrupted him, “Like I said, be right back.”

And with that she stood from the high bar stool and entered the dancing mass.

“Let me guess, he brought it up again…” Hyuna rolled her eyes at the face expression her best friend had.

“I seriously don’t know what to do. I love him, I really do. But his overprotective side is driving me crazy,” Jayla shook her head.

“I don’t blame you,” she let out a short arrogant laugh, “But but, we can’t allow him to destroy this wonderful night!” she said as she raised her glass that she was holding.

“How many have you had already?” Jayla eyed her.

“Two..? Three..?”

“Hyuna…”

“Okay this is my fifth,” she shrugged.

Before Jayla could say anything else she heard a familiar voice call after her. When she looked over her shoulder she saw Daehyun’s tall and handsome figure walk towards her.

“Jay, Himchan is looking for you,” he held her by her shoulder once he approached the two girls.

“I know,” she let out in defeat before turning towards her best friend, “Hyuna, be careful.”

“Aren’t you coming back?”

“No, I guess I will see you later by the race.”

“Alright,” she pouted, “Thank you Daehyun for ruining this night already,” she commented with sarcasm which Daehyun only rolled his eyes at.

“Come on,” he pulled at Jayla gently and without any second thoughts, she followed after him.

After a few hours of only partying and drinking, the whole club finally gathered in front of the club. Namjoon and Yoongi decided that the start line for tonight’s race would be right in front of the club which made everything even more interesting considering the fact that a lot of the racers tonight took a few glasses of some strong drinks.

Luckily, Himchan decided that his second glass would be the last one for the night. He wasn’t worried at all since his body knew how to handle alcohol so he wouldn’t have any problems with the driving later on.

“Move! Y’all have to take a few steps back!” Namjoon walked around and mentioned to everyone to make some space for more racers that are about to enter the cycle.

Yoongi on the other hand walked around with his precious little bag where he collected the money from the racers. Himchan was always the one who would bet the most amount of money, but he did it out of a good reason. He knew that he would win the race, just like every other one.

There were a few weaker racers who would constantly lose against him but didn’t give up easily. Himchan was impressed by their spirit yet he couldn’t help but laugh at their loss every time they would try.

In addition to his opponents, there were two a bit more powerful ones. Two people that he couldn’t stand at all. Not even those two liked each other, which made the whole situation even more tensed. Those two people have been on Himchan’s black list ever since the day he realized that they were ready to take everything that was his. They were jealous of his success and wanted to win over his whole property. But being the powerful bastard he is, he wasn’t so easy to win over. He had more men behind him that they would ever have.

When he left the club a moment ago to pick up his ride, he told Jayla to wait with Daehyun by the crowd. With his beautiful and strong Lexus LFA, he drove proudly in between the crowd, leaving them speechless right away. The strong dark blue color that covered his baby radiated his car’s power perfectly and the turquoise neon lights that highlighted the tires only added more perfection to this monster of his.

As he drove, he decided to enter the cycle in such a speed that would scare everyone away, only to rapidly brake right in front of Jayla’s feet. The crowd started shouting and whistling from the sight which only brought a smirk onto his face.

While waiting for the others to arrive, he opened the car door and mentioned for his girlfriend to walk up to him. He leaned on the hood of his car and once Jayla walked up to him, he let her rest her whole body onto his as he rested his arms on her lower back.

“Watch out!”

Suddenly their sweet moment was interrupted by Yoongi’s scream once he spotted two cars driving towards them. In only matter of seconds, the area was filled with the sound of two mind-blowingly strong engines. From only looking at the speed they were driving in, everyone could tell that those two already had their own little race before the big one.

One of the cars was the infamous bright red Audi R8 that was known for its cocky appearance and awfully fast speed. Himchan followed the car with his eyes and it didn’t take him long to figure who the owner of it was.

Even though the race hasn’t started yet, he could already feel his competitive side take over him as anger boiled inside of him. The owner of the first car was none other than Ilhoon, the guy that was getting on his nerves by just existing.

He pulled the car to the side and made a whole U-turn around Himchan’s car before stopping right to his left. With a very arrogant expression, Ilhoon opened the window to his passenger seat and nodded towards Himchan.
The people around started whispering among each other because the tensed aura was there way earlier than it should be.
Himchan clenched his hands at the sight but having Jayla in his arms, kept him away from jumping on that bastard to his side.

“Don’t mind him,” she whispered in his ear as she caressed his arm.

Not getting some time to gather his thoughts together, the other car glided towards both of them and stopped diagonally in front of them. Himchan couldn’t take his eyes off from the beast that was located in front of him. With its dark silver metallic coating, huge wheels and near to the ground position, the Ferrari F458 was a typical car that someone like the man inside of it would have.

The man inside of the strong machine was the second person that Himchan couldn’t stand by just looking at him. With a smirk plastered on his face, Nam exited his car and threw a package of bills towards Yoongi who just in time managed to catch it and put it into the bag. He then turned towards his main enemies while putting a cigarette into his mouth.

“Boys,” he used both of his hands to light the cancer stick on, “Tonight is going to be an interesting night.”
