Lisa left the circuit, Dr. Johnson was there so they didn't need her much. She had another patient now, Ryujin Jung. She went to the Dubai fountain, because once Ryujin has told her that she ready liked the place. Her eyes searched for the racer and found her sitting on a bench. She went closer and took a seat close to her. "Welcome to the real world."

She turned to her. "Huh?" 

"This is it," Lisa crossed her arms. "Men only see us in the kitchen, wearing an apron and carrying their babies."

"Not all of them, my boyfriend loves to see me race," She smiled proudly. "He supports me for real."

"You have a boyfriend?!" The elder girl asked excitedly.

"Yes," She giggled, wiping her eyes. "His name is Daniel. He is a dentist."

"So he is not Korean?"

"He is, he was just born in America. He lives in Australia now."

"Oh..." Lisa smiled. "You must be too in love to stay in a long distance relationship."

"We are," She mumbled. "What about your boyfriend? Does he think like other men?"

She grinned. "Sehun is a treasure. You can barely find the man of your dreams, but I declare... I found mine."

"Wow... is that so?" They laughed. "Though Sehun oppa is a good man. I can say that by just looking into his eyes."

"He was the one who took me into Mercedes, or else I was working in a hospital with a lower pay," She bit her lower lip. "Even though now I receive less than Dr. Johnson."

"Less than him? Why?"

"Women's payments are different from men," Lisa said. "Didn't you know that?"

She shook her head. "Not at all..."

The doctor nodded. "Even Baekhyun earned more than you when he was a rookie," She informed. "Suzy earns less than Jongdae even though their jobs are the same and they have the same experience," She sighed. "It is worse about Irene! She is a single mother trying hard to bring up her son-"

"Wait a minute, she has a son?!"

She nodded. "Yeah, her boyfriend got her pregnant at the age of twenty and left her."

She frowned. "That's really sad... how could he?"

"I don't know. She never talks about it, but the point is that she receives less than Sehun and Johnny when she needs more. This is the bitter truth of this society, it is unchangeable."

"I'll change it," She said with a serious face. "For her..."

"I tried, it didn't happen..." She sighed. "Though if you are going to do it, I'll support you."

"They can't ignore me, I am their racer. They need me," Ryujin put her hand on hers. "I'll do it for us."

Baekhyun walked in the garage and looked at Lucas silently. "Do you need my help, sir?"

"Ah... no, I just," He bit his lower lip. "I just wanted to know what the problem was."

"It was a minor problem, but it affected the whole system. Why? Because sometimes the minor changes are more important than what you've thought."

He sighed. "Have you checked Bambi?"

"I have," He replied, not taking a glance at him. "Why? Because you are the team's priority."

The racer chuckled, but his smile faded away immediately. "I... did I break her heart?"

"Once I fell in love, with whom? My mother's student. When? I was around twenty one. What happened? I understood that she had a boyfriend. What did I do? I went through my mom's papers, which was seniors' final exam, and took hers. Then? She failed," Lucas raised his head and sighed. "She failed and..."

"And?"

"No one knows what happened to her. Why? She disappeared. I never saw her after that day."

"I'm sorry about that," He whispered and suddenly, realization hit him. Lucas knew it. He knew he liked Ryujin and he knew Ryujin had a boyfriend. But how? "You know that I-"

"People say I have a sixth sense for love. How? I just pay attention to people's actions," He turned to him. "You are obvious if someone cares."

"But..." He pressed his lips together. "But I can't... It hurts to see her in love with someone else, so I want to hurt her too. I know it is crazy but..." His eyes got teary. "Lucas, I just..."

"It is ok..." He hugged him and caressed his back. "I know how you feel exactly, though... seeing her in pain will hurt you more, believe me."

Baekhyun nodded. "My heart aches more now... It hurts so bad to see her cry."

"I know buddy..." He whispered.

Baekhyun's eyes widened at his touch and he pulled away. "You... touched me with those gloves?!"

"Yeah...?"

" you!" He cried. "You destroyed my shirt!" The racer left the garage angrily. 

"Why does he always wear white shirts?" He whispered. "I don't know... how should I know?" He shook his head and went back to Ryujin's car.

■■■

"Haven't you two talked since yesterday?" Suzy sat next to Ryujin who was staring at the cars emotionlessly. "Ryu? You ok?" 

"We haven't talked," She whispered. "I feel like I-"

"Hello..." A woman sat next to her. "You are the girl with Mr. Byun, aren't you?"

"Ah..." The racer looked at the arab woman and tilted her head. She knew she had seen her somewhere, but she didn't know where. "Do I know you?"

"Not exactly," She giggled. "I am Sama, Mr. Byun's friend's wife."

"Friend?"

"He is a receptionist in-"

"Ah! Ah!" Ryujin clapped. "I just remembered. How are you?"

"I'm excited!" She said. "It's my first time in a circuit," She looked around and started waving. "Oh! Hassan! I'm here!"

 The man walked to them. "Why are sitting here?"

"She is your friend's friend," Sama pointed at the girl next to her. 

"Ryujin Jung!" He sat next to his wife. "Why are you here? Aren't you a racer?"

"Well... I didn't succeed at joining the ten racers lineup," She lowered her head. "But Baekhyun did, he is the pole sitter."

"Don't worry, it was your first time after all," The man smiled. "You'll do better next time."

"For sure," She smiled back.

"The first Grand Prix and the first winning, yes!" Sehun said as he walked in the airplane alongside Baekhyun. "Who is the best?"

"Mercedes!" The team chanted and the engineer laughed. 

Baekhyun sat next to Ryujin. "You ok?" She didn't answer, pretending to be reading her book. "It is ok to be angry with me, but you have no rights to stop speaking to me."

She closed the book and turned to him. "And why is that?"

"Because," He bit his lower lip. "Because... because we are teammates and teammates are like family members. We fight, we curse, we even hit and kick each other, but at the end... we are strongly related, aren't we?"

"Though you-"

"Ryujin," Jongdae called and they both turned to him. "Uh... Lewis has sent you a video. He actually said... it is for both of you."

"Really?" Baekhyun got the phone from him and took a look at the screen. 

"Play it."

He touched the screen and Lewis started speaking. "Hey Baekhyun! Hey Ryujin!" He waved at them with a smile. "How are you guys? I hope you are fine. About me, I am getting better..."

"Thank God..." Ryujin whispered. 

"Baekhyun, bro! I saw you! It was crazily good! You are awesome! Made me proud like every other race. Good job, Byun," He gave him a thumb up, making him smile widely. "About Ryujin," She turned the phone to herself. "I saw the qualifying race and I talked to our engineers. You were not the problem. Did you hear me, Ryu? You. Were. Not. The. Problem," She nodded her head. "It was theirs."

"But I lost..." She whispered, feeling like crying.

"I always say, there is more to learn when you have failures. That is where the biggest growth comes from," Tears rolled down her face. It was amazing that he had guessed how she was feeling and he sent a video to calm her with those words. Lewis Hamilton was an amazing person. "Look, you are a girl... after all these years, a girl is participating in Formula one championship. There are girls and women all around the globe who are admiring you, they are looking up to you... do it for them, Ryujin Jung."

"Yes senior," She sobbed.

"Become the legend of this year's championship," He said with a smile.

"Yes senior."

"You'll do it, right?"

"Yes senior," She sniffed. 

"What do you say in Korean?" Lewis thought for some seconds. "Aha! Fighting!" He raised his fist.

She nodded, raising her fist. "Fighting."

"Hope this video helped you two, don't fight and take care," The video ended.

Baekhyun looked at her. Her face was wet with tears. He went through his small bag and took out his red handkerchief. "Here..." She didn't get it and took her book. "Oh God... didn't you hear what he said? No fighting!" He turned her face to himself and started drying her cheeks slowly. "You want to seem strong... but you cry too easily," He smiled and took her hand to put the handkerchief in it. "It is yours."

"What is it?" She looked at it, it had a heart and a four-leaf clover sewed on it. "What is it for?"

"My half sister sewed this for me two years ago. She said when I'm sad, that will make me feel better,"

"Then... why are you giving this to me?"

"Uh... because now I found another thing to make me feel better," Baekhyun whispered. "And you need this. Please... keep it with yourself."

She nodded. "You are strange. One moment, you are a crazy misogynist. One moment, you are better than a best friend," She giggled. "But thank you..."

He nodded. "You're welcome."

"What are you looking at?" Johnny asked, looking at a magazine. 

"What are they doing?" Suzy asked, staring at the racers of the team. 

"Who?" He put down the magazine. 

"They..." She whispered. 

"Uh..." He saw the place she was looking at and found Baekhyun and Ryujin, he was drying her face slowly. "They are obviously in a love-hate relationship," He chuckled at what he just said.

"Huh? Really? How, how do you say this?"

"Can't you see, Suzy?" He asked. "Now they want to cut off each other's head," Johhny explained. "The other moment, they are willing to die for one another. I've heard things from Jongdae."

Suzy nodded and bit her lower lip. She didn't want it. The man that was once hers, now was laughing with another girl. That hurt so bad.

■■■

"Japan!" Baekhyun said happily and raised both of his hands. "This country is amazing!"

Suzy smiled at his childish behaviors. "I've never been here..." 

"Me either, I don't know much about it," Ryujin said excitedly. 

"Come on, I'll show you the beautiful places," Baekhyun held his hand towards them. Suzy's heart leaped as she raised her hand to take his, but he took Ryujin's hand instead and they ran to baggage reclaim while laughing. 

Suzy stayed still there, she has to accept it. Everything was finished between the
