"Err... are you feeling all right?" Yixing asked after drinking a gulp of coffee. "When my sister is on her... you know, she goes through a lot of pain."

"Yeah..." She smiled. "But what can we do about it? We can only use painkillers... if that doesn't help, then we have to endure it."

"I've heard exercise can help too."

She smiled. "Where have you heard?"

"Actually," He bit his lower lip. "I searched about it a little on my way to hotel."

"It's nice of you- ah..." She touched her back. "It hurts..."

The boy stood up and walked to her. "Should I buy you painkillers?" He knelt down in front of her. 

"I've taken before..." She lay on the couch. "It's only the first day, I'll be ok. Don't worry..."

"But..." He looked around. "Do you have any kind of cream?"

"Huh?" She raised her head. 

"Never mind. I'll be back," He ran out of the room.

"What is he doing?" She put his head on the couch and cried. "My back is breaking..."

After some minutes, Yixing came back. The engineer opened the door. "Where did you go?" She mumbled. "Wow!" He grabbed her hand and pulled her behind himself after closing the door. 

"Take your shirt off and lie on your stomach."

"Excuse me?" She crossed her arms. 

"Just do it. I want to make you feel better."

Irene tilted her head and did as he said. It felt awkward and in that position, shirtless, dirty thoughts didn't leave her alone. She was thinking that she felt a cold smooth substance on her back. "What are you doing?"

"It's all about nerves, when you massage somewhere that hurts, the pain signal will reduce or stop..." He kept moving his hands on his back. "I borrowed this from Baekhyun..."

She breathed deeply and sighed. "Thank you..." 

He tried his best to give her the best massage ever. For the first time in his life, Yixing wanted to do anything for a aim other than winning a race. He wanted her pain to go away. Because he couldn't stand looking at her and doing nothing when she was in that tough situation.

Ryujin was sleeping deeply that her phone's alarm started ringing. She moved her hand on the bed to find it. "Oh God..." She turned it off and dialed Baekhyun's number. She put it against her ear sleepily.

"Good morning, Ryujin..."

She smiled, hearing her boyfriend's voice. "Good morning..."

"Were you asleep till now?" She groaned, making him chuckle. "My pretty girl, wake up... we have to go to the circuit."

Ryujin sat up, scratching her nape. "I know..."

"Is Suzy there?"

She looked around. "No..."

"Good, don't let her know about us," She nodded. "Ryu..."

"Hmm?"

"I miss you already... hurry... I'm waiting in our team's van."

She opened her eyes widely. "I'm coming!" She ended the call and got out of the bed.

Stepping out of the room, she faced with her personal assistant. "Where are you going like this?" The older girl asked, looking at her from head to toe. She was wearing a light makeup and beautiful coat. She didn't usually wear clothes like that, specially when she was going to practice. 

"Practice. Get ready please. We are going to the circuit," She passed her right after answering, leaving her speechless.

She chuckled. "Dolling herself up like that... stupid."

Ryujin opened the van's door and went to the back seat and sat next to Baekhyun. "Hey..." She touched the tip of his nose.

"Don't be obvious," He whispered. "I missed you."

She giggled. "Where is Jongdae oppa?"

Just when she said it, Jongdae opened the door and sat in the front seat next to the driver. He turned to them. "Jung Ryujin, I've heard you are dating this fool."

"Yah... Jongdae!" Baekhyun warned. "Quiet!"

He laughed. "Please take care of my friend."

"I will," She giggled and looked at her left to find his boyfriend gazing at her in awe. "What?"

"Your hair is growing long..." He whispered. 

The girl tilted her head. "Don't you like it?" She ran her fingers through her hair.

"You're pretty no matter what..."

Jongdae started couching uncomfortably. "I better go call others to come..." He said before getting  out of the car.

"Ok..." Baekhyun smiled and looked at him until he left them. "Was it because of us?"

"He wanted to give us privacy," She said, looking at at herself in her mirror. "Should I color my hair? It's growing black agian..."

He looked at her in shock. "But even with that, you're beautiful."

"Thank you," She mumbled. "Though I have to dye my hair again."

"Why is that?" Baekhyun asked as he turned to her completely and took her hand in his.

"I... it's... because-"

"Hello everyone!" Johnny got in and Sehun did so after him. 

"Good morning!" The Korean engineer said.

The racer turned to them quickly after letting go of the other's hand. "Hey guys!"

Suzy just looked at them and sat next to Johnny, making the female racer raise her eyebrows. 

"Let's go!" Johnny shouted happily.

"Yah! Wait, our doctor is on her way..." Sehun warned.

"Fine..." He rolled his eyes.

"Ryu," She turned to her boyfriend. "I'll dye your hair for you..."

"Huh?"

"I'll do it for you, you don't need to go to a beauty salon, ok?" He whispered.

Ryujin smiled. "Ok," She looked at others, no one was watching them so she took his hand and squeezed it. "Thank you..."

"Good morning, friends!" Lisa got into the van and went to the back seats and sat next to Ryujin. "How are you?"

She turned to the other completely. "I have a news!" She whispered. 

"What's that?"

"Let's go, mister!" Sehun told the driver and he started the engine.

■■■

After the tiring practice rounds, Ryujin was sitting on the ground with her phone in her hands, thinking about the point Lisa made in their conversation. Dr. Peterson was right. Now that Baekhyun was her boyfriend, she had to change his iD into something more informal... at least something that was not 'Boorish Byun'. She clicked her tongue and pouted. No available idea for that one thing. 

"What are you doing?" Baekhyun sat next to her and she hid her phone immediately. "What were you doing on your phone?"

"N-nothing..."

He narrowed his eyes. "Were you thinking about him?"

"Wh-who?"

"Daniel Kang!"

"No..." She rolled her eyes. "What are you saying?"

"So what were you doing?"

"Nothing, I just..." She turned to him. "I don't have any pictures of you... I was searching through my photos."

"Oh... so," He took out his phone. "I'll send you some."

She nodded and moved closer. "How have you saved my number in your phone?" She looked in his phone curiously. 

"Jung Ryujin," He replied, choosing some of his photos. 

Her smile vanished. "Just Jung Ryujin? Simply Jung Ryujin? Nothing more?"

He glanced at her and turned to his phone. "Of course. Do you need something more?"

"Uh..." She moved away. "No. That's good. I mean great..." She stood up. "Yeah, fascinating-" 

He grabbed her hand. "What are you trying to say, Ryujin?"

She looked down at him. "Nothing..."

"Say it."

"I just..." She bit her lower lip. "I just thought I should be special now that we are together officially... and, it's... uh..." She moved her hand out of his and walked away. 

"Ryujin!" Baekhyun ran after her and hugged her from behind, stopping her. "Don't go like this..."

Her eyes widened. "What are you doing? What if someone sees us? Let me go..." She tried to get out of his grab, but she couldn't.

"Of course you are special," He said. "And I will change your iD into something special."

She smiled with teary eyes and turned to him. She put her hands on his well-toned chest. "Thank you," She tiptoed and closed her eyes, closing the gap between their lips.

"Uh..." Baekhyun cleared his throat and stepped back.

She pouted and her hands slid down from his body. "I... I got to go..."

■■■

"Good job!" Baekhyun said, making her turned to him. She was standing in hotel's terrace. "I couldn't believe you standing in third place."

"Why? Didn't you see me in Turkish Grand Prix? I became the second!"

"Hmm, but I wasn't in that competition," He put a hand around her waist. "Ah... I've been here many times, but the night sky is way prettier with you."

"After Korea and England, my third favorite place would be Italy..."

"Why?" He asked.

"Because the man I like confessed to me in this country," Ryujin took a deep breath before continuing. "It's memorable."

He nodded with a smile. "Why are you out at this time anyway?"

She bit her lower lip. "It sometimes scares me..."

"What?" He looked at her.

"I'm afraid once I sleep and wake up only to see it was a dream."

He pulled her closer to his body and hugged her tight. "It's not, believe me."

She nodded. "It's scary to know the man you like doesn't like you back."

"Ryujin..."

"This will be really saddening then, won't it?" She sniffed.

"Hey..." He cupped her face. "Are you crying?"

She looked into his eyes as tears rolled down her face. "Tell me that you love me for real..."

"I... I do love you for real, Jung Ryujin. I love you more than anyone else," He leaned down, planning to press his lips on hers hard. Though he stopped in the middle. "Umm..." He moved away.

Ryujin frowned and sighed. "Why did-"

"Let's go to sleep. We can visit some local shopping centers tomorrow and have some fun."

■■■

"France! I really love France!" Ryujin said with open arms. 

Lisa giggled. "Paris is the lovers' city... if you go there, lots of first things can happen."

"What do you mean?" Irene asked. "First things? I don't think any first thing has been left for you and Sehun."

"I wasn't talking about me though," She giggled.

"What's it then, huh?" She nudged her friend. "Tell me or I'll die out of curiosity."

"No, no, no..." She laughed.

"Lisa Peterson!" She pouted. "Hurry!"

"Don't ask me! Why don't you ask Ryujin?"

Irene moved to the racer. "What is she saying? Are you dating someone in our team? Who is he? Johnny? Lucas? Jackson? Jayson? Arthur? Christopher?"

"No!" She shook her head.

"Then who- wait a minute!" She covered . "Don't tell me that..."

Ryujin gulped. The only boy left in their age was Baekhyun. How could Irene be that smart? "Wh-what?"

"Are you homo? Is that Suzy?" She asked. "Samantha? Or Hussey? Judy is cute t
