[Breaking News: The RedBull pair of Son Seungwan and Kim Minjeong sign a multi-year deal with RedBull]

 

Crossing her legs while putting the tablet down Seungwan grabs the can of Red Bull from the table and looks at Minjeong who is looking at her with a pout.

 

“What!”

 

“You get a seventy-five million deal and I get a twenty million only, this is unfair.”

 

“Not like you're going to put that twenty million to any use with the way you're always getting things from me.”

 

“Hey! That's not true.”

 

She takes a sip from her drink before she slowly turns her face to meet Minjeong and raises her eyebrows. It is enough to tell Minjeong that she is in deep trouble but since she asked for it, she'll be more than happy to lay out some details for her.

 

“Brought you an apartment in Monaco, got you a new racing simulator, not to mention that Aston Martin valkyrie and above all you have a girlfriend because of me.”

 

“Look at you bragging about getting me a girlfriend must be because you can't brag about your own—Wait…How can you? You don't have one to begin with.”

 

“You do realise with the way my popularity is rising I will get one eventually.”

 

🏁

 

“Ugh! This is so embarrassing, I haven't won a race for the past three race weekends.”

 

Joohyun rests her head against the steering wheel of her simulator, the screen in front of her displaying two hundred laps.

 

“Unnie you make it sound like it's someone else's fault.”

 

Jimin mutters, giving up on the simulators as she turns from her seat and looks at Joohyun.

 

“Of course it's someone else's fault.”

 

Joohyun shrugs as she stands up from her seat, deciding that it's enough practice for her.

 

Jimin follows her, both of them heading to snack bar to get themselves something to eat.

 

“How?”

 

“Not my fault RedBull got a faster car than us.”

 

“Don’t get mad but you sound like a car merchant.

 

Joohyun opens to counter but then closes it, knowing that her teammate is indeed right. She should just wait for a race that would suit the Mercedes car, for her plan to work she should at least win the championship.

 

🏁

 

“Crofty it seems like our championship rivals aren't that fond of Baku. Bae Joohyun and Son Seungwan have collided and unlike last year this time both of them are out of the race.”

 

Shaking her head Seungwan jumps out of her car feeling rather relieved that Minjeong inherited the lead of the race with five laps to go, still she's in a mood to fight so she'll give it a go.

 

“Why? Why? Why can't you just defend from the inside?”

 

“That’s what you ing get when you don't leave space!”

 

Joohyun who was already charging towards her with heavy footsteps only quickens her face and her reply tells Seungwan that her rival is pissed.

 

“Just admit you can't race wheel to wheel.”

 

“ off Seungwan! You ruined my streak.”

 

Seungwan feels hands on her shoulders as she realises that marshals are trying to stop both of them from fighting and lets herself get dragged back while giving a fitting reply to Joohyun.

 

“What streak? You won like one race before this. 

 

“That four race win streak is getting to that empty head of yours. Just wait and watch.”

 

🏁

 

[Breaking News: Mercedes team principal Lee Sooman to leave the team by the end of the season. Chairman of the team terms the change as a start of a new era with several management changes]

 

“You have been working on this?” Seungwan mutters as they wait for the post race conference to start.

 

“For a while now” scratching the back of her neck Joohyun replies, a small grin making its way on her face.

 

“Who’s replacing him?” She asks covering , just in case the reporters get suspicious.

 

“Tiffany. It's not been confirmed but she's most likely joining the team.”

 

“Well. That's a shocking news.”

 

“This isn't the only shocking news you'll be getting this season.”

 

🏁

 

“I didn't know your teammate would take it that seriously,” Minjeong scratches her neck seeing the championship standings with just four races to go.

 

“Hey you guys are getting constructors championship this year so let us have the drivers championship,” Jimin shrugs, going back to focusing on

Chapter 13: Now, I understand why the ending turned out to be like that 😭 this fic is an absolute gem! I’ll wait for the epilogue 🩷🩵

Started reading this and not gonna lie, I’m slightly scared wenrene not ending up together at the end of the story. But based on the comments, the ending is realistic and the epilogue might give me that happy ending so I’ll still read it since the first few chapters are so indulging. I hope we can get that epilogue as soon as it is finished! No pressure, otor-nim! We’ll patiently wait for your update.

Now, back to reading 🤓

Chapter 12: Finally I got the chance to read the last 5 chapters of this and I can't believe I teared up at the end. Seungwan and Joohyun got their happy ending but not together. The hospital scene is honestly one of the best things I have ever read the emotions were immaculate with Joohyun finally confessing after realising that she may have lost the love of her life in that accident and Seungwan finally getting to hear that confessions on the brink of death just was the last straw for her to beg Joohyun to let go of her, a selfish decision but she actually did Joohyun a favour too.

The was heart touching with both of them still harbouring feeling yet choosing the suppress them for each others sake. I am sure they are going to get a second go at their story in the epilogue and I am excited for that.

Chapter 11: I thought that i would articulate my words well if i reread this with a peaceful mind. It turns out that i was wrong because rereading this still feels so heavy and i don't know what to say when I'm an emotional mess. This is just soooo sooo good

Chapter 13: A good separation. From your note at the end, it might seem there's still an epilogue to the story but at least this direction of the story is really good. Really want to give my whole review about this story and how good your writing is considering it's really rare to see good written RPF characters these days. It feels like these days writers were influenced by either whatever the f happening in the fandom or whatever the comments said and forgot about the essence of the fiction itself, which is stick the characters to the story that they have built.

One thing that I really like about these latest two chapters is, it tells the readers that both Seungwan and Joohyun can be at their best when they are not together. Joohyun could still get her last championship and Seungwan finally got what she wanted in the previous season. It's clear from the very start, their love was a mess, and what I love about this writing compares to other fics is you point out that love is not some magical bull that can erase all those mess and complicated circumstances. Everything has stakes, and its causal effect. I also like that the title drop happened in the most important moment for both characters literally and figuretively.

I know lots of readers don't like angsty fics because they just want to see their favorite ships end up together in general, but I think this fic is one of those angst fic that is really well written from the start to the finish. Thank you author for making this great story. Btw Hamilton going to Ferrari is crazy, and I'd bet nobody 10 years ago would ever imagine Hamilton would ever leave Mercedes.

Chapter 13: Chapter 13: I don't think I could think of a better ending, honestly. Despite thinking that the fairest thing would be for Seungwan to continually beat Joohyun, Joohyun giving up her career shows that she already understands that Seungwan is more important than all that, than races, victories, podiums, than anything.

The ending of Seungwan just making donuts with her was honestly touching, Joohyun choosing her, God why does it all seem so painful? Even Seungwan gives her the helmet full of memories, damn, it hurts, and I'm probably the only one who feels that lol

I wish that Seungwan becomes legendary, and that Joohyun finally forgives herself for what she did and tries to win Seungwan back, of course it won't be easy, but I'm sure that eventually Seungwan will forgive her too.

Great story author-nim! great ending, I couldn't think of anything better, I just wish that in the future we can take a peek at some from Joohyun dom? Yes? No? In fact, anything you bring us I will be grateful.

Thanks for the hard work.

Chapter 12: Chapter 12: I'm infinitely happy with Seungwan's victory, watching her fight her feelings throughout the championship made me root for her more than anyone.

The way she automatically looked for Joohyun during the victory to make sure that her victory was truly on her own merit, shows that anything Joohyun does will still affect her, unlike Joohyun, victory for her is not everything.

She gave the medal to Joohyun and broke any bond between them, it hit Joohyun like a bullet, it also hit me that way.

But it is necessary so that they can start from scratch.

I really enjoyed reading this. Loved the plot and the way you write the relationship of the characters. Honestly, this is really a fresh read considering how writers these days only write plotless fic.
