f1wags Have we cracked the case? Is our mystery Coachella girl from Lance Stroll's instagram story the one and only Yn Gasly?

Since the beginning of the season, Yn Gasly has been rumored to be linked with McLaren's Superstar Lando Norris or Ferrari's Star Boy Charles Leclerc. Since then, another hotshot driver was added to the mix; the Pride of Aston Martin F1 Team, Lance Stroll.

Since the Australian GP, Yn has been seen out and about Monaco with friends and family and she also attended Coachella in California bumping into Lewis Hamilton. Lance Stroll on the other hand was also spotted at Coachella after soft launching his girlfriend on Instagram Story. Right before, he was on a date night in Monaco.

The timelines match up, is Yn Gasly the new girlfriend of Lance Stroll? What are your thoughts?

Ignite

Pairing: LOONA Gowon X Male Reader

Word Count: 6595

A/N 1: Hallo! It's me again and sorry for the delay! This should have been posted yesterday but I slept so... yeah. Anyways, enjoy this fic of Gowon and this is F1 related! I'll be posting more of my fics in the future and have great day ahead and stay safe Orenjideul! woooop!

A/N 2: Also, I swear, this is a fluffy one and maybe sprinkle of angst? hihi

!! Warning !! : Swear Words/ Strong Language

------------------------------------

“So Box now for a set of softs, we’ll try and catch up to the Ferrari ahead at the uppercut.”

“Why? I’ll lose some places if I do and I think I can handle the tyres up to the end.”

It had been a hard time and a challenge for you in this Grand Prix as you started from the last row as an unfortunate qualifying ended your session quickly while doing your second hotlap in such horrendous conditions. A crash after Eau Rogue is not the start you want to have as you felt bad for the team for such an unbearable mistake you had ever done in your debut year in Formula 1. Luckily, a great start even with subsided rainy conditions made your life easier because of your car finding a better pace and you’re grateful for it.

Conditions got better after almost two dozen laps which you had been grateful for after a difficult and a painful struggle that you wished to end and gladly, it did. Risks and gamble from each team had been pulled out. From risky gambles from pitting for a new set of softs or even staying out in wet tyres on a dry track is not a new thing in this sport. You were leading the race for a few laps now after a pit from the leader for softs, gambling for a possible win or even a podium from the degrading tyres as your team wanted to do the same. Something isn't right, always it is. As much as you want to stay out, team orders are inevitable and could even help you from the worst of situations. A 4-stopper is not the sight you wanted to see yet it could have been the possible strategy that can secure a first win in your Formula 1 career. With a short contemplation, you decided to pit to softs from your 11-lap old mediums.

“A possible undercut from the McLaren from the pacing Ferrari ahead should be worth a risk or maybe not, as the Red Bull is catching up to the McLaren quickly as he will get a DRS on the long straight.”

Now with a DRS on the car behind, you heightened your senses as he gains a few tenths up in the straight as he gains more in each sector. The good thing is that while he is gaining, you’re storing up energy on your battery as patience is the key in these situations. This is not how the plan that you and the team are expecting yet it’s better to be safe than sorry.

“As we can see the Red Bull gaining and gaining into turn 1 as down the inside the McLaren goes as the Red Bull didn’t make it on a late lunge.”

A successful defense against the threat is always a great outcome for the team as the battle is nowhere near as done. Through Eau Rogue and Raidillon the both of you go as the battle ignites the fire that lies beneath the tyres. Scorching heat and a blazing heart fuels the both of you to keep going as the Red Bull gains a few tenths from the DRS as you enabled yours too, managing to keep defending like your whole life depended on it. Through Turn 5 the both of you went as you managed to be ahead by a car length and a half as the cars danced on the circuit of Spa-Francorchamps.

“How o-old are t-the Red Bull’s t-tyres behind me?”

“Okay, so the Red Bull behind is in a 10-lap old mediums and probably will go through at the end of the race.”

Vibrations can be heard on the radio are evident enough on how porpoising affects the quality of communication yet it doesn’t affect you from gathering information from the threat behind.

“Gap o-of the Red Bull b-behind?”

“As of now, the Red Bull is 1.2 seconds behind, no DRS for the next lap. You’re the fastest man on the track.”

“Okay.”

*engine roaring, echoes, cheers*

As the battle is still occuring from the both of you from a lap or two, you’re successfully defending for your position against the Red Bull, putting him at bay which made the driver frustrated at how aggressive and precise your defending is.

*Red Bull’s Radio*

“That’s s-some dangerous d-driving right there…”

“Don’t fight for the position if you’ll hurt the tyres that much, he’s gonna be faster now on softs and we just need to be patient.”

“Okay.”

Team orders are team orders. With no choice to fight with your pace advantage, the Red Bull had backed off as the skirmish of almost two laps had ended. A sigh of relief had escaped from your mouth as the tension cooled down, securing yourself into P2 as the golden trophy awaited, making the fire in you to keep going.

“The gap of the car ahead?”

“The gap as of now is 9.8 secs behind the Ferrari, he’s in a 12-lap old mediums and you’re still the fastest man on track.”

“Okay.”

With a faster and fresher tyre, you are able to catch up to the Ferrari ahead whose mediums are now degrading. With a pace advantage to your tyres, you’re now giving everything you got, pushing hard for a maiden win that you’d been longing for.

“Holy shit, man… How many *pants* laps to go?”

“7 laps remaining if you cross the line.”

“Okay, thanks…”

“He is gaining tenths and tenths in each sector and this could have been a chance of a win if he’s going to gain more yet the Ferrari won’t let it happen, aren’t they?”

“Yes they wouldn’t and I’m sure that Ferrari will do something about this incoming threat.”

With a miraculous pace advantage and fresher tyres, you tried to catch up to the Ferrari as the gap was now closed after almost 2 laps of intense racing action.

“The gap now?”

“The gap now is 7.8 secs behind from the Ferrari, 5 laps to go when you cross the line.”

“Okay.”

The fire in you ignited more as you saw the gap is closing, seeing how adrenaline is coursing through your veins in every twist and turns at the circuit. As the track was filled with roaring engines and spirits as the crowd’s cheer erupted, an unexpected event had happened.

*crowd gasping*

“As the Williams is making a move on the Aston- as, oh! Oh! That is an Alfa Romeo, on the barriers at Turn 14 after a lockup and a spin right after. These are unfortunate times as the driver wasn’t able to countersteer and just accepted the inevitable.”

*Alfa Romeo’s Radio*

*sound of gravel, vibrations*

“Fuck! I’m sorry guys… shit…”

“Are you okay? Are you okay?”

“Yeah, sorry ‘bout that.”

“Turn off the engine, please.”

“Yeah…”

Lap 40. Now heading into Les Combes while chasing the Ferrari, you asked for the gap of the car ahead, hoping to hear some improvements in your lap and sector times against the race leader.

“The gap now?”

“As of now, the gap is 7.2 seconds.”

“Okay.”

*breathing, engine sounds*

“Yellow flags, yellow flags, keep the delta positive, there’s an Alfa Romeo at the barriers at Turn 14. Expect debris around there…”

“Fuck man… That could have been good..”

Not so long after, the race control had announced that in the next lap, the race will be under a safety car as the car had left debris around the vicinity of Turn 14. As the hunt subsided, the tensions calmed down as you took a deep breath under the helmet, sprayed with moisture right after that faded away after some time. Despite the sudden serene ambiance at the track, the adrenaline is still running through in every twist and turn of the wheel in every corner as you come across the area of incidence.

“So slow down, keep the delta positive, there’s a lot of debris at the track.”

“Yeah, yeah, I can see it from here… It’s just unfortunate..”

A sigh of disbelief came out of your mouth as you heated up your tyres as you neared the bus stop chicane.

“Should I box?”

“No, I think the tyres are pretty good at the moment so we’ll stay out. Some of the teams also pitted, including the Ferrari ahead.”

“With soft tyres? Fresher ones?”

“Might be their option.”

“*pants* Okay…”

As the cumulonimbus clouds filled the sunny skies, it didn't shine on your visors as it rained on you, worrying prevailing all over your body as it’s evident on the tone of your voice. With gambles in each team, you can’t help but feel butterflies in your stomach as you feel the world is rooting on you, the rising rookie in the field of Formula 1.

Now that the track is now under a safety car, things tensed down as heartbeats decrease in speed as most of the cars now heat up their tyres as the marshalls are cleaning the track as fast as possible for no more further accidents on what happened in the preceding times.

Radios are filled with drivers being fed with information or chats about their possible dinners, mostly filled with murmurs or sternness, no matter what the situation could be. Deep breaths as the clock ticks every second, staying at the nth gear at most times as complaints, now shower the radios.

“Is it normal for this safety car to be this slow? The tyres will be cold if this will remain in the longer run…”

“Copy, copy, the safety car will remain at that speed until the end, before the start of Lap 42.”

“Okay…”

The ignition never stops, not the car yet the adrenaline that fuels your racing heart as you throw a sight to the Ferrari ahead of you, planning the possible strategies and mind games that you can offer at the table. You wanted the win and you’ll get this no matter what could happen next. You’ll take risks if it can benefit you as you always hope to bear a great outcome.

“Never play safe, never play safe…”

As every twist and turn of the wheel in every corner, you can’t help but think of the people who always got your back, the people that kept you going even in the ups and downs of your career, also in every physical endeavors and achievements, you always thank them whatever the outcome the race could be. Your family, friends, supporters and your loved ones yet there is one woman who keeps you going and keeps your ego boosted, no matter what your mood is. The sunshine of your darkest days and your most protected treasure that you’re always grateful of, meeting her in a convenience store after a cheat day in your Formula 2 days, almost making a scene because of a possible slip, due to your clumsiness.

Up to her shyness, crunchy yet a soft-toned voice and a clingy yet loving personality, you can’t help but fall in love and get allured in her charms, even if you tried to deny it. It almost feels like the two of you are matched for each other maybe because of the accurate similarity of your personalities.

–Flashback–

“Hah! Uhm, thank you…”

A shot of espresso is all you’ll ever need after a tough day in your final race in your Formula 2 days as you got offered to drive for McLaren for the next year’s season. Not a heartbreak yet an mediocre performance which you are aware of and also a frustrating result for the team made you feel that their efforts had gone into waste after a spin in the opening lap as well as the inconsistent lap times that shattered your ego throughout the whole race under the lights of Abu Dhabi, from a month ago.

Voices of submerged memories of that grand prix spun around your head that you wanted to forget but just won’t leave you be.

“I’m way too greedy and stupid. *sighs* When will I ever learn?”

As you talked to yourself and battled over your demons, a soft voice made you startled and pause from saying anything further.

“Hello…”

“Ah! U-uhm, hi…”

“A-are you good?”

You let out a deep sigh as disappointment still paints your face, you tone stern yet shy because of an angel asking beside you.

“N-not really, just g-going through something, I guess…”

She pauses for a moment as she senses that something’s not right. Yeah, her sixth sense is definitely right as she became worried of a stranger that she’d never met before. She’s usually not an interactive person and a shy-typed one, an introvert to say the least yet a spark ignited between the both of you that you’re mostly unaware of.

“I hope you’ll get through that…”

“Thanks…”

“And… w-wait, aren’t you the Formula 2 driver t-that’s going to move to McLaren next season?”

You were shocked as those words came out of her own mouth. You’re not really startled about it to say the least yet what are the odds that a stranger would know you.

“U-uhm, y-yeah, but h-how do you know me?”

“Maybe the tattoo on your hand and your e-eyes?”

She giggles right after, her face forms almost a pout as you can’t help but find her cute as she involuntarily winks while smiling at you. It feels like you’ve met an angel that you’re surely thankful about.

Yes, your girl types. A modest, simple, shy, adorable and a soft-voiced one. You couldn’t ask for more for this girl as your cheeks redden right after and you’re aware of it, hoping that girl won’t notice it as you’re feeling embarrassed.

“O-oh! Yeah, it’s me, b-but, you gotta keep it quiet…”

“Oh my, it’s you! It’s you! I’m a big fan of your wor-”

“Shhh, please, k-keep it down, b-but thanks though…”

You put your finger on her lips to shush her from her inevitable happiness of seeing you. She noticed you blushing, even behind your mask as she can’t help but paint a genuine smile on her face.

“I’m sorry about that, b-by the way, my name is Chaewon, Park Chaewon…”

“O-oh… Nice to m-meet you Chaewon…”

“They also call m-me Gowon and I’m a b-big fan of yours. I just c-can’t believe I’m going to see y-you here…”

You can see the pinkish tint in her cheeks as you formed a smile, getting flustered upon meeting this girl. You can tell that’s not joking about being a big fan of yours as she stammers upon her phrases. You’re also stammering by the butterflies you’re feeling but it doesn’t matter. You’re getting interested in her and nothing’s gonna stop your curiosity, even the media or even your friends. You wanted to know her more and you’ll be doing that now.

“Oh, t-thanks and I suppose, you know m-me already, right?”

“Yeah…”

Giggles emanated around the room as the negative energy that once you’ve possessed, had been wiped out within a blink of an eye. Her optimism despite her shyness can be seen at how she became interested in you as an embarrassment from earlier still makes you nervous on how to feel with her, knowing that she saw it and can’t help to overthink about it.

“I’m sure you won’t slip again, right?”

“Yeah, yeah *giggles* anyways…”

—----------------

“Thanks for a g-great talk!”

“Thanks too, Gowon… ”

As you were about to leave the store, something slipped in your mind that you almost forgot as you clicked your tongue about it.

“Go… Gowon-ah!”

“W-what is it?”

You sighed deeply as you prepared yourself for what you’re going to say.

“C-can I get your number?” “Are y-you getting my number?”

What could have been the odds of her thinking the same way as you did? Surely, she had read you like a book quickly enough for you to notice while engaging in fun conversations with this social butterfly. Well, she isn’t one. Probably, it’s just a matter of fact that the both of you are meant to be with each other as she made the first move towards you.

“Oh…”

“A-ah…”

“Uhm, I think, I should-”

“No, no, it’s alright, I-I wanted t-to get yours too…”

In such awkward situations like this, you always wished to put an end to it but it seems to be the opposite, even in the oddest of situations.

“Don’t mind if I should… Like, this…”

You felt your hands going numb as you shook from nervousness but you did what you needed to do, and so is she.

After another quick conversation and the exchanging of numbers, you went out of the store with a smile painted on your face, a sincere and genuine one. You then exchanged goodbyes as you can see her modest smile in her face through the glass window. It had been a while since you had one and you’re thankful for this. It feels like a blue moon illuminated around the sunny skies as the stars perfectly align for this. You can’t describe how much dopamine had been released on your body as your cheeks redden again, enough to know that it is how hot it felt.

“I’ll get to know her, and I will…”

–End of Flashback–

“As the safety is ending! The safety car is ending at this lap, before lap 42 of the race! Now, it’s the McLaren and The Ferrari on the front row, side by side as the race now starts, again!”

The both of you got away really well from the restart. A single overtake is all that you needed to lead the race and hoped to bring it home, a maiden win in your career that you’d been longing for since the start of your debuting season.

Going to the outside of Turn 1 didn’t make your overtake a success as the Red Bull at the back tried to make a divebomb, but is also unsuccessful, considering how well you’re defending and how narrow the space is being given.

You're fighting to win here, and so are the other nineteen drivers as you can’t afford to lose a position that can cost a win, or even a possible podium. A podium should be enough yet the fire in your heart now fuels the ignition, pumping it faster and faster as the adrenaline and concentration now peaks.

Now in Eau Rogue and Raidillon, the Ferrari leads from you by about a car length or two. The camera angle depicts a great shot on how fast F1 cars took those corners, just like how fast your heart races in every second. You’ve never felt so much pressure on your back but you stayed calm and composed, focusing on the race like it’s your last.

Now having DRS for this lap, you activated it as unfortunately, the Ferrari also had one as your pace matched his’, hoping to be in his tail as you took things slowly, like a hunter waiting on its prey. The right attack can reward a fruitful outcome and that saying you’ve heard in a coffee shop is now forever tattooed in your head.

Patience is the key to victory as you tried any possible attack in Les Combes and Bruxelles but too much commitment can cause you a cheeky drift or an unfortunate oversteer or even worse, a crash. You don’t want to act dirty and to ruin someone’s race like that, you’re not selfish, you know for yourself but you gotta take a risk as after Turn 11, you opened up your ERS to gain speed upon your stored energy as the Ferrari still defends like a lion.

As the prey still managed to get away from his predator, another battle has commenced as your teammate managed to overtake the Alpine who is in his older set of his mediums as your team’s gambles for pitting in softs made a reward, a rewarding 4th place.

“I need more power…”

“You’re the fastest man on the track, stay calm and be patient…”

“Okay…”

As time goes by, you’re still at the tail of the Ferrari, not losing time nor gaining, just a gap being maintained steadily and patiently from both parties. It frustrates you on how you’re being so impatient with these as you now meet the famous chicane in this track, marking the start of Lap 43.

“What is happening? Why is the car heavy?”

“Can you describe the problem?”

“The car’s just heavy at the front, feels like I’m steering a fucking boat…”

“Copy, copy, we’re checking, we’re checking…”

“Fuck…”

“Just keep pushing until the end, if you can…”

“I can’t! The engine seems strange, what the fuck is happening?”

Anger, frustration and questions lingered in your mind over this situation. You can’t afford to lose as you’re fighting for the golden trophy here as you seemed a black cat had cursed you in this race, finding one as you caused your way out of the hotel earlier.

As you tried to push, up to the maximum, you tried to fight against the Ferrari again as the both of you went out of Raidillon, using your stored up energy on your battery to attack, being wheel-to-wheel in the whole course at Kemmel Straight, despite the struggle you're currently facing.

Now going in Les Combes you went down the outside as you braked later, almost locking up at the process as you were successful on the overtake as the Ferrari respected the space allowed for him to defend, which is now pointless as you lead the race with an issue being faced which you’re still really frustrated of.

“Then tell me what’s the problem, is it a battery-related issue?”

“We’re checking now, we’re checking now. Is it heavy on all sides?”

“Yeah, most likely on the front, it feels really strange.”

“Copy, just push until the end if you can.”

Now up to Pouhon up to Stavelot, panic starts settling in as you’re worried about what to happen next as the Ferrari starts to attack you as soons as he hears the conflict you’re facing.

He tried to attack after Stavelot as he went for the outside but was unsuccessful, the both of you almost going side-to-side as the battle heats up for this race. Now in Blanchimont, you were two car-lengths ahead of the Ferrari as the pressure in your body is now in its utmost peak. Saving the left up energy on the Ferrari’s battery store, catching up on you slowly and surely, but you stayed calm and collected as he catches up, almost going wheel-to-wheel again, hundred meters before the Bus Stop Chicane, braking just at the right time at the inside line as the Ferrari was forced out, not wanting to cause a tragedy that can ruin each other’s race and self-esteem all throughout the remainder of the season.

Lap 44, the last lap has started as the engines roar alongside the crowd’s cheers in the grandstand. You’ll push until everything is over as the anchor from your ship can stop it from sailing further, you’ll do your best even in the worst of times. For the team, for your supporters and for her.

“I’m losing power! Fuck…”

“Keep pushing if you can…”

“I can’t man! I’m trying to…”

Now as the Ferrari catches up, you start to panic as your fingers tremble because of the overloading adrenaline you’re currently feeling. As you went to the outside of Turn 1, you were about to defend your position as the inevitable happened.

“As there is a lil’ bit of jockeying down at the back of the grid as THE McLaren has spun round outside of Turn 1!”

“I lost the fucking engine! *pants*”

“Sorry about that, turn the engine off please…”

“Really sorry, *pants* ‘bout that. Just unfortunate…”

“Keep your head down, share your feelings there, mate. There’s nothing we can do about it.”

Things tensed down as you stopped for a moment of silence. Frustrated and heartbroken on what happened, you turn off the engine with weight on your fingers as you punch the air, ruminating and contemplating on what just happened. You then unplugged and removed the steering wheel hurriedly and exquisitely, still the fire in your heart raging over this heartbreak.

As an invitation for your first win has slipped out of your hands with an engine issue and you’re miserable. You just wanted this day to end and refrain from thinking about it but it happened, and it marked your very soul.

You then come out of the car as the marshalls guide your way out of the track, walking with you as your head’s bowed with emotions that are running through your veins. It feels like you’ve lost everything and let down everyone that has been on your back since you’ve started. You felt bad for the team as they shared the same emotions towards you.

As you walked your way to the pit entry with the guidance of the marshalls, the leader now rounds the final corner as the engine roared cheerfully, marking Ferrari’s first win in this season. Your teammate, however, managed to overtake the Mercedes with his remaining energy in his battery store around the course in Blanchimont, claiming up a possible podium finish.

One by one, the drivers now met the chequered flag as some of them cheered in joy, dismay or even rants in their own radios. You became grateful and happy for your teammate’s podium finish as it should have been your first win if your engine did last longer. It wasn’t just you who was grateful as the whole team cheered for your teammate on the pit wall as smiles were painted from their faces from his second podium this season.

You now entered the garage as you got yourself a bottle of water to drink and a towel to wipe off the sweat that heated up your whole neck and your face. A deep sigh of exhaustion and frustration came out of your mouth as the ending ceremonies will begin in a couple of minutes, so are the inspection, interviews and a lot more. You just wished for this day to end as it feels like your heart is weighing again, hurting yourself as you wanted to cry and release everything but not today, you gotta stay calm and collected for what’s about to happen next.

“Here we go.”

—-------------------

*wind breeze, whistles, peaceful music humming at the distance*

“Oh shit… Huuuu… I don’t know. Ahhhh...”

Whistles and whimpers from you can be heard across the room as you contemplate on what happened earlier. It shattered your ego throughout the whole day, really evident and obvious on how you answered such questions from the interviews and how cold you interacted with the interviewers.

It has been a rough day for you, a day to forget yet a day to be remembered. You’re now distracting yourself by watching some of your favorite action movies, playing guitar or even playing some sim racing games just to destress yourself but it doesn’t seem to be the move. You just wanted this suffering to end as if you thought about it more, the deeper the cut marks on your heart.

As you’re almost halfway through the movie, a muffled knock has gotten your attention. You didn’t mind it at first as you thought that’s just the normal hotel service, waiting for your room to be cleaned up until a familiar knocking pattern heightened your senses.

“Who is it? Come in.”

You didn’t mind peeking on who it was as you’re on your way back to the couch after unlocking the door. As you were about to jump back, a soft voice stopped you from those actions.

“Oppa!”

“C-Chaewon? Why are you h-here? I t-thought you were in Korea?”

“Well, I really did surprise you by unexpectedly coming here. The tickets were just in time for me to go here and bought it just to see you, Oppa. Gladly, the security let me in as they knew that I would come for you.”

“Woah, well, thanks for coming. Come in then, I won't bite…”

“Oppa…”

You joked for a second as a forceful smile was printed on your face. Chaewon then released a cute, crunchy giggle that you adored the most.

“Well, I was watching this movie and d-don’t you mind joining me?”

“Uhm, I mean, sure I’ll join with you, Oppa.”

“Okay then…”

She then sat back on the couch as you went to the fridge to get some drinks for her and some food to make herself feel at home.

“You want some Sprite? Beer? Water?”

“I’ll take some Sprite and-”

“The fries?”

“Yeah Oppa…”

You then hurriedly got what the both of you needs as you hop in to the couch, placing those foods and beverages at the table as you wrapped your arm around Chaewon’s neck, causing her to blush as she dug deeper to your chest, making it like a pillow for her to rest on.

Despite the affection the both of you are showing to each other, Chaewon senses that something isn’t right as your cold replies and talks to her says enough. She then suddenly remembered that you had your grand prix today and thought that it would be a good talk for her to start an interesting conversation.

She rushed her way onto your hotel that you’re currently staying in as soon as the plane landed. She didn’t have any time to check about the latest updates on your race as she became determined to get to you as soon as possible. She missed your hugs, stories, bonds and your loud laughs with her as she wanted to see it today, experience it and embrace it.

Little did she know that today is the day that you’re heartbroken, not because of a love-related one but a heartbroken win that slipped within the grasp of your hands. You don’t wanna talk about it but it feels like she’s about to do a regrettable move.

“How’s the race today, Oppa?”

“*sighs* Not the best. Just like, meh… pft… I just don’t wanna talk about it.”

Chaewon now knows the root of your sudden cold demeanor. Being the clever girl she is, she didn’t want to ask or expand on what happened as she’s afraid of leading this into an argument that can hurt the both of you.

No, she won’t shut up about this. She’ll play it right, calm and collective as she wants answers and she’ll get what she wants. She knows you well and reads you like a book as she now formulates a series of questions in her head.

“Oppa…”

“Yeah?”

She reached the remote in your hand in one swift motion as she didn’t get it, but rather made your hand a guide to pause the movie the both of you are watching.

“Speak up to me, Oppa. I know there’s something wrong and you don’t need to hide it from me.”

“W-why would I speak u-”

A quick peck on your cheeks made you pause from your sudden and apparent excuses. You blushed in return as it can be seen, thanks to the fluorescent light bulbs up in the ceiling.

“How about that, hm? Please, speak up to me, Oppa. Pwease?”

How can you deny her? She attacked with a weapon you can’t counter, and that’s her cute little pout from her cheeks and lips as her gray, silky hair gleamed, making you in awe, looking at her distinct features.

She’s a literal angel that you’ll protect at all costs and you’re committed to it. No one comforted you and understood you like her. You’re thankful for having her as a part of the chapters in your own book and she’s everything a man could ask for.

Well, you thought to yourself that if you tried to make more excuses, it would be pointless as she knows what’s up with you and all you had to do is to say the truth and share it with her.

“Uhmm… F-fine! Fine. It’s just a- W-wait, you haven’t read the news?”

“Uhm, I didn’t mind checking them as I wanted to see you Oppa. I was in a hurry, I’m really sorry if I can’t catch up…”

“No Chaewon, it’s alright. I’m even glad that y-you didn’t know what happened…”

“Well, with that being said, what really happened Oppa? Is it another heartbreak or what?”

“Guess you had read my mind then, eh?”

“M-maybe, *giggles*. So, a heartbreak, huh?”

You were paused from saying anything as all of those memories are coming back together, again. Who wouldn’t be hurt if you’ve led almost two-thirds of the duration of the race and just ended the last-lap lead after an engine issue? There’s nothing to blame here and your team talked about this in your debrief earlier that it was just an unfortunate mechanical issue that’s inevitable.

“Yeah, just an unfortunate engine issue at the last lap. I led the race and it just went nuts after. Ws spun round, engine’s just… Dead… ”

Silence emanated around the room as she pats your back while still resting her head onto your chest. You let out a forceful and despondent smile as she digs deeper in your chest, feeling really bad for your heartbreak as you almost broke down beside her.

“Oppa…”

“Why?”

“I’m s-sorry I asked you about that. I d-didn’t know that was the case…”

“No, no, Chaewon, it’s not your fault, never was. No one can stop it and those are just unfortunate times.”

You then caressed her silky hair, enough to smell her shampoo as you pull Chaewon in a heartfelt embrace. She was baffled by your sudden actions but she’s not complaining. She wanted to comfort you and to make you feel good but you weren’t the ones who initiated these kinds of affections, so she’s baffled to say the least.

You almost broke down in tears as streams of water came out of your eyes involuntarily. You’re always soft and protective whenever you’re with Chaewon. Even with your cold yet optimistic demeanor on camera, it seems that Chaewon are the ones who can make you feel your true self as you always feel delightful meeting with her, despite any situations you’re facing.

“I’m so bad, I’m so bad, I’m s-so bad…”

“No, no Oppa, you’re not. I’m sure you did your best, as always.”

“I d-don’t know why the w-world is a-always against me. It feels l-like I bear bad luck…”

“Stop saying that, I’m here, we’re here to support you. You’ll get through this and it’s no one's fault. Just let it out, Oppa.”

You break down more as you tighten the embrace right after, not putting too much pressure as you’re always gentle in your every move with her. She then caressed your hair, hoping you would feel safe and collected whenever beside her. You’re already as you calmed down, pushing her out of your embrace as she wipes your tears with a tissue, gently and slowly as you felt your ego reinvigorating by her kind and comforting words.

“You’re the best in my eyes, Oppa. I don’t care what people say about you, you’re talented and nothing can convince me that you’re not. I couldn’t ask for more when I’m beside you, Oppa. I-”

“I love you, Oppa.”

Those words. Those 3 words and 8 letters that send shivers down your spine. That simple sentence that makes you feel hundreds of emotions in a matter of seconds. A pinkish tint in your cheeks says that you’re feeling her affection and you love it. Even though the both of you are engaged in a 11-month old relationship, saying those words feels like you’re risking something as it feels like the both of you can’t have the will to say it to each other yet today’s a different day. She’ll make you feel special and she’ll do it now, despite whatever you’re feeling.

“I love you so much, Oppa. You may not know but I d-”

A quick peck on her lips made her startled as she smiled in joy, her eyes winking as she hid her face using her hands, embarrassed by what just happened. You didn’t care about that as you showed affection towards her by a sudden embrace and a genuine smile, this time not a heartbroken one but rather a thankful one as you are really thankful being with her.

“I love you too Chaewon, thanks for being with me and understanding me. I thank you so much, sosososo much…”

The both of you exchanged smiles as your voice was almost inaudible, burying your face at the crook of her neck after a sincere confession.

“I loved everything about you Chaewon. I-I c-couldn’t ask for more and thank you for everything. Even if our schedules are a big conflict, you always find a way to meet me and I thank you for that. You didn’t even need to but you chose to, so I really thank you. I wish I could give you something in return, b-but I can’t.”

“No Oppa, it’s alright. I want this and I don’t need something in return to strengthen our relationship. I chose this path and your smile, your genuine smile is enough to make me happy, Oppa.”, she then caressed your hair as she placed her right hand on your right cheek and said, “I’ll always love you, Oppa.”

“I’ll always love you too, Chaewon.”

You then pulled her body towards you as you initiated the kiss as the dark evening lit up by the affection and the love the both of you emanated around the room. You then pulled out as the both of you exchanged breaths and sincere smiles, her smiling of you getting better from your heartbreak as you got flustered upon this act.

You then cuddled each other as you didn’t even mind to do anything but to take care of this puffball of optimism. It feels like you’ve never gone through anything. It feels like a spell had wiped those heartbreaking thoughts earlier.

As time went by, the calm music sang a lullaby to Chaewon as you noticed her deeply sleeping peacefully. You then carried her on your way to your bedroom as you placed her down gently, her still sleeping soundly as you kissed her forehead and caressed her hair that’s falling over her face as you whispered, “I love you Chaewon, I won’t let you go, remember that.”

A day to remember yet a day to be forgotten, the ignition that filled your heart throughout the race now cools down as it now beats for the one you love. Your utmost treasure, the paramount of all of your inspirations, Park Chaewon, the girl who made you the man that you are today as you’re always thankful for her existence. You can’t imagine your world without her and you won’t let her go, no matter what happens, even at the end of time.
