for : sinn rattanasiri @overdr1ves
where : heartbreaker bar.
" hey, gorgeous. wanna kiss a little ? " minkyu is giving up on subtlety in 2007, sliding into the stool next to sinn and making his intentions clear. except, he was kind of joking, but also not if sinn was in. it was a fine balance between being a silly and fun guy and never letting himself dwell on the inevitable. it was fun and games, at least most of it was. minkyu didn't consider himself a serious person, despite whatever emotionally repressed damage he usually just ignored anyway. life was too short, and he decided somewhere along the line that he was too cool to ever be a downer. minkyu bides the time by ordering himself a vodka soda, making a face once learning what the house vodka was. it certainly was no 12welve, even beyond the dingy interior. but minkyu had a crisp ten dollar bill in his pocket and a dream. " and before you call me ‘ kid ’ again, i think you should acknowledge that i'm taller than you. by a whole inch. "

his thirst for attention remains unquenched, happy to indulge in the presence of his so - called enemy. the logic didn't add up, because if minkyu was meant to dislike the nariza bois, why were they all so hot ? it's a little rude that she doesn't hold the door open, but he soldiers on nonetheless. " nory's a cute name. won't use the classic heaven line on you, i'm sure you get that one enough, " he says with a grin. the look she gives him doesn't faze him either, if anything he starts feeling giddy, like he was doing something he wasn't meant to be doing. " minkyu. prince. whatever you wanna call me. " his words are spoken sweetly, a contrast to the look she's giving him. he watches as her eyes trail down and— wait a minute, she's staring right at his crotch! granted that's where his hands were too, but wow, no class ? that's fantastic.he grins at the observation, because of course he's a model. what else would a face like this be doing ? " got that right. think it's better i leave the cool shit up to the rest of you guys, keep the competition fair for everyone, " he jokes, as if he hasn't ruined far too many rims from how often he hits the curb.
a stray lingers behind her. their presence only serves to sour her mood, but she's not about to pivot from her smoke - filled oasis just because a prowler wanted to trail along. she breathes out a sigh as she opens the door, hopes it's an audible noise despite the brain-rattling volume of the music. 〝 nory's fine. heaven too. 〞 she continues pushing forward, not making an effort to hold the door for him. when her back finally makes contact with an exterior wall, she gives him a scrutinizing look. 〝 who are you ? 〞 nory recognizes him, but she can't place her finger on it. not a racer, she would remember that— so a mechanic or model. her eyes flicker down to his hands & she tilts her head. 〝 guessing one of the models. 〞

for : won jihoon @wilds1de
where : their apartment.
" oh sweetheart, dinner is here ! " minkyu boasts as he unlocked the door, a black bag filled with fifteen cobs of corn and a sixteen pack of jihoon's favorite instant ramen. he just got paid for this foot cream ad he'd done a few weeks ago, and promptly spent it all in one day. he had no money for rent yet, but he had corn and noodles ! what a good roomie he was ! minkyu was keeping his promise to buy dinner, even if he's sure jihoon didn't have such a bad time at 12welve. his friend is just dramatic, no shame in that. " you're not in the shower, are you ? if you are, lemme join. utility bill was high as fuck last month. maybe i should stop doing my skincare routine with the same water running. " the steam did wonders to open up pores, and minkyu was a model after all. if he wasn't hot, what even was he ?

where : somewhere in miami.
she's like a siren, calling his attention without ever knowing it. minkyu is a chill guy, for the most part at least. but of course, he sees victoria in the middle of the street and suddenly minkyu is checking himself out in the side mirror of someone's car like a loser, all because there's no way he's going to look bad in front of her, not when he could spin this potentially upcoming interaction as fate. oh, you're here ? that's crazy, running into each other. signs from the universe or whatever. surely the effects of his hero - like gesture haven't worn off, proving that he's a serious individual worthy of her attention. it's winter, but winter in miami at that, so he's showing off his arms in a muscle tank, walking coolly toward her even though the breeze in the air makes him want to die. minkyu clears his throat, both to bring attention to himself but also so that he can make his voice lower. sexier, in his delusions at least. " fancy seein' you here. "

where : heartbreaker bar.
" oh tania, my dear tania. are we getting me laid tonight or what ? " minkyu says, perhaps a little too loudly as the two walk into the bar. it hasn't been too long since the festivities at 12welve, but minkyu can never quite sit still for long. he made himself a smoothie containing a raw egg and orange juice for the hangover, and it worked like a charm ! he shoots them a grin, sliding in the the slightly sticky bar stool and folding his hands on top of the somehow stickier bar top. " 'm having like ... a wicked dry spell. here's what i'm thinking, okay ? we take a few shots each, scout out what the vibe is here tonight, and then hopefully, i use this twenty i found in jihoon's jean pocket to spoil a lucky someone. thoughts ? "

for : juno choi @tun3rs
where : birds eye.
" one of your crew mates shot me a nasty look when they saw i snuck it here. jokes on them for not kicking me out, " minkyu says in a hushed voice, tucking himself behind juno, despite him being taller and bigger anyway. after the new years race, he really should be calling this place enemy territory. he nudges her side, shooting her a boyish grin with compliments in tow. " congrats on the win, juney bug. looked fuckin' sick out there. i woulda congratulated you then and there, but shit the prowlers ? they were all pissed as hell. saw yani giving everyone the third degree, almost had me thinking i did something wrong too. " was it really wrong though ? minkyu was a man of affection and love, how could he possibly contain all his heart had to give to one crew ( especially when half of them liked to grumble and look displeased by his enthusiastic demeanor ).

for : eric kim @mvmentum
where : bay parking garage.
it was jarring to wake up and find out that today was january 2nd. fuck, did he seriously sleep through the entirety of new year's day ? it's probably why he's feeling so refreshed, and not because of the red bull he'd shotgunned thirty minutes ago. his park job is shoddy, managing to put his car just in between two open spaces. all was well though, he was here to see his people. to offer his tongue for any potential wounds to lick. the loss was an unfortunate one, except he was kind of friends with the winner, so it hadn't hurt him too bad. he spots eric a little too quickly, all alone and ready to be bothered, of course. " what's up, dude ! what a fuckin' blowout the other night right ? bet if it were you on the track, you'd smoke 'em, easy. "

for : victoria jang @anelectrichigh — heartbreaker bar.
it's a real shame. things had been going so well for him tonight, up into rome punched him in the face right next to a dumpster. is that what he gets for trying to break up a fight ? the purple bruise forming on his cheekbone doesn't exactly match with the pink suit, buttons managing to find themselves completely undone after quite a night and perhaps that's the saving grace he needs. yet he's exactly where he wants to be, in the eyes of her. " i feel like i should clarify, this isn't my fault. i was a casualty of someone else's battle. i'm more of you know ... a lover, than a fighter. not that i can't fight, i mean, " he gestures down to his abs, a mark of true strength. the wounded features and lack of proper attire would almost have you thinking that that he's some kind of bad boy, except minkyu is nothing but smiles. it's victoria he's in front of anyway, less of the usual audacious comments in lieu of something more gentlemanly. out of character to the naked eye but a choice made out of sincerity. " anyway, can i buy the prettiest girl in all of miami a drink ? "

the bar is calling his name, an empty glass in hand forbidden on a night like this. everyone seems to be having a good time, and why wouldn't they ? he could be a spokesperson for 12welve with how often he came here. the allure of a noisy nightclub and it's sweet, indulgent offerings, it's only fitting for it to be the background of a night where people start anew, make promises they won't keep and chase change that will never come. minkyu shoots ben a smile, knowing what he's doing as he slides in next the other. " nah, you'd catch me, wouldn't you ? besides, i just bumped into you because i wanted some attention. i'm only a klutz when it comes to that damn stick shift. " why didn't they just make cool cars that go fast and required minimal effort ? all minkyu was looking to do was race down biscayne, get noticed by a mildly problematic celebrity, and take it as his claim to fame. but the car gods had to go and make things impossible. " havin' a good night, superstar? i caught you earlier, making everyone holler and hoot. didn't know you had it in you ! "
location : 12welve , lower level lounge area status : open to anyone !
he's holding court , basically , as is the norm for cash - because when he's out like this , he's cash and not really ben , more gregarious and funny and charming , his regular self , just on ten . the people around him laugh at a joke he makes and that allows him to excuse himself from the crowd , wanting another beer that is for sure comped because he and the bartender are old friends , go way back , got him for the one thing that one time at the one place , whatever . he's waiting for said beer when someone bumps into him and as opposed to getting mad enought to start swinging , ben looks down with a wide grin . “ watch out , if i wasn't here , you'd be falling flat on your ass . ”

for : xile rosario @drftings
where : rodani wheels.
" you look beautiful under that hood, xile. i could get under your hood too, y'know ? anytime, anywhere. " his crass words are spoken so sweetly, unknowing if the matching grin on his face is visible to her at all. he doesn't mind, he's sure her response will be the same either way. dare minkyu say, that he misses her company, even if she's mean to him 95% of the time. jokes on her, because he's super into that anyway. " new pick up line, whatcha' think ? it's like ... mechanic specific too, i'm leveling it up this year. " this was his year, even if he'd said the same exact thing last year. optimism is only a few steps shy from delusion after all, and he's nothing if not proudly both. minkyu takes himself to the closest seating area, an empty chair that creaks when he takes a seat. he decides he won't be even more crude and offer her a seat on his lap whenever she takes a break, mostly because the chair would definitely break. " is it just me or the vibes really off ? not between us, obviously. just like ... with the loss and shit. it's bringing the sexy factor in here all the way down. "

he's a simple, feeble - minded man after all. quick to fall into traps, almost willing to an extent. their song and dance tends to have the same ending, yet it's the quiet cues she gives that ropes him in all over again. they weren't possibly so different, were they ? tactics may differ, but the charm reads the same. something enticing, dangerous in a way that makes leaning off of the edge exhilarating more than terrifying. there's something raw about the way minkyu carries himself, shameless of his own wants and unabashed in their expression. he and bambi would never play the same game, one dancing in riddles and the other singing his praises. the question digs into him, because bad isn't something he's ever been with her. but this is nothing more than a mirage, a fantasy he can lose himself in. always ready to fall, always ready to drown. " i can be whatever you want, beautiful. " desperate words at a surface level spoken with such confidence, as in minkyu knows what he truly is. capability to be molded. to be the problem, to be the bother, to be tempting, to be one's vice. nothing more than a loud presence, one hard to be indifferent about. he can only feed on the desire to be wanted, just like he desires to be wanted by her too. to be a secret is to be wanted and disregarded all at once, a line he can toy with until the inevitable hurt. desire precedes him, wanting for her attention, for her eyes, just for a moment. " you'll have to let me lead. think you can give up your control ? "
GAZE FLARES DARKLY, A FLICKER OF SOMETHING HUNGRY & ENTIRELY UNBOTHERED. like she foresaw how this game was going to end and indulged for the amusement alone. there is something wicked in her head, something he joins her in: a dance, tightroping this maddening thing that webs between them light membrane drawn taut. they see things in each other that are only morsels of the truth. candor is much easier to process that way, when you've taken smaller bites. fabricate the rest. " ah, cariño. " she murmurs, a half pant from the sudden orbit they had been thrown into. this is the subtle alchemy she does: denial. wittling facts down into nothing but fragments of itself. carving until a new religon is formed, the altar of falsehoods to which they pray. light the pyre of refusal, hand in hand. manicure drumming a line along his nape slips lower, a sumptuous odyssey taken down the lenghth of his bicep, she's turned her back to him again when the tempo changes. it is here that they exchange places, offering the wild thing off his leash, " why be good when you can be bad? " less of a question and more of a silver-plattered temptation, to say: eat or be eaten. " our little secret, hmm⸺ " there's a slippery exchange, both dancing on their own and yet so intrinsically twined. " show me a good time and you might get what you're asking for. "

it's almost painful to watch. granted, the prowler's garage has never been known for it's joy and whimsy considering the amount of grumpy, introverted personalities of the mechanics around. minkyu likes to think his effervescent attitude brings some kind of life back to the dark place, though he feels like even he is not a match for the suffocating tension in here. maybe he could sneak out. he'd already stolen five dollars from jihoon's wallet when the other hadn't been looking, the world was practically his oyster. " i think i make everyone look great, personally. " he quips quietly, entirely unnecessary and foiling his own plans of escape. minkyu didn't get what the big deal was. it was only one race, and a 2 vs 1 at that. who could blame hawk for getting completely smoked by the other crew ? he approaches yani like a stray dog who doesn't have anything else to do but make noise. " you know, we should like ... blow off some steam. we can, uh ... hit things ? or get ice cream ? or get really drunk ? oh, i got it. i found this dude in south beach who sells homemade margarita ice cream out of his car. strong as fuck, too. you in ? "
▊▊▊ ⠀ ✶ ⠀ closed starter 4 @thr0ttle, @wh1plash, @mvmentum ▊▊▊ ⠀ ✶ ⠀ location @ the rodani wheels
IF YOU WERE A RACER, YOU WERE ON THIN ICE. yani didn't make that explicitly known when stepping foot into the auto body shop, but it wasn't too long until they all caught on ⏤ if the narrowed glares, refusal to speak, and the angry grunting from changing a ride's tire wasn't enough, then the wrench held above femme's head anytime a LOSER tried to approach, ready to strike, spoke volumes. the models, and obviously other mechanics, were fine. they didn't embarrass her twenty-four hours into the new year; a new record for being disappointed by people. “ havin' me out here bustin' my ass and for what ? to have some jackass with purple lights in their car to call my work bad ? ” yani scoffs to herself whilst standing against the wall outside the building, the innocent water bottle in her hand being bounced from hand to hand. “ all i ask is that you make me look good. is that too much to ask ? "

" hell yeah i do, what a cutie pat— " minkyu stops in his tracks because if giselle is calling someone ugly then surely it had to be true. he didn't really even get a good look at the guy, minkyu preferred to keep his chances high by flirting with people before looking at their face first. it was all about the personality ( and the ass ). call it the feminist in him, but the ladies were always right. " oh shit, really ? she does seem pretty pissed off. sucks for him , unless there's another hottie waiting by the bathroom to clean him up. " he finishes off the remainder of his drink, letting out a loud 'ahhh' which didn't carry very much in the loud club. " nope, never had one thrown at me, either. which sucks because i think i'd look pretty sexy all wet and sticky. guess that's what i get for being such a good guy. "
⋆ open starter ⋆ upper level lounge
" you see that guy down there? " giselle nods to the balcony overlooking 12welve's packed dance floor where a man who looks like he just got into a wet tshirt contest is standing dumbfounded. " some girl just threw her drink on him. i think it was his girlfriend, but he's kinda ugly so i'm not sure. " she giggles as he takes off into the bathroom and not after the potential girlfriend. there goes his kiss. " you ever throw a drink on someone? gotta say, it's so therapeutic. "

minkyu wonders if darius knows how funny he is, if the other has quite realized how easy it is to get a reaction out of it. that's half the fun, isn't it ? even with his shining optimism, minkyu doubts he has a chance with the older in some fleeting and sexually - charged way. in fact, he was accustomed to the look shot his way, sort of how some of the prowlers looked at him after he'd opened his third red bull of the day. he's all too welcoming of darius' company, even when it only seems he's come over to interrogate his innocent glances. jokes on him, minkyu will take any kind of attention he gets. " i'm just admiring. shouldn't you be used to that kind of thing ? " he asks, hands shooting up in mock defense. “ you have a nice face, darius with a capital d. if i knew how to drive a car, i'd want you posing against mine too. ”
he thinks he feels his eye twitch all on its own. there were only a handful of people that could achieve that level of annoyance with him. he'd tell minkyu that if he didn't think the other would somehow twist his words into some nonsense about being special or insisting it was proof of how darius had him on his mind. eternal scowl deepens in response. he keeps a suitable distance from tania's car, so he has probable deniability, just in case minkyu manages to scratch it. he can't imagine a bigger curse than not being able to stop thinking about the other. already, he pities whoever will have to deal with him for the rest of their life. " what do you want ? " tilt of his head. " since you kept staring. and give a normal answer. "

of course, he's always been more of a lover than a fighter. fists thrown in a crowded club would be far from his style, yet somehow he's willing to entertain it for the sake of her. the one who he could admit to himself truthfully he looked at a little differently. the bother of a man doesn't look to be too strong anyway, chances of him coming out unscathed decent enough, but it would just be terrible to be kicked out and likely banned from a popular club in the heart of miami. maybe it's just enough to stop someone's unwanted sexual advances, likely to come around by weekend and do it all over again. " it's no big deal, " he shrugs once it's the two of them, something not entirely far from the truth considering he hadn't given much thought before involving himself anyway. before he can further joke in a typical minkyu - way, he's pulled aside by victoria without much refusal on his own part. probably for the best to put some distance between them and the scene of the crime anyway. his eyes aren't their usual ones, not full of mischief and ready to dole out flirtatious quips. it's more of a painful, puppy dog look laced with concern that was ready to get her whatever she needed to feel better.
" hero might be pushing it, i'm just ... someone that cares. " there he goes again, abandoning a resolve that managed to boost his own ego without fail for something more genuine. something he implies he's a little too familiar with her being out of his reach. " a piece of shit ? " he offers in completion. there's a split moment where minkyu registers that he freezes, as if being hugged by her is enough to startle someone that was unfazed by everything. it's short, fleeting to his mind before his own arms follow suit, wrapping around her backside in an attempt to provide some kind of warmth. " you don't have to apologize. I'd do it again, no hesitation. even if it gets me punched in the face. " bold words from someone who made a living off of it. " oh yeah, you know i've been really working out my arms these days. new year's resolution this time is to get jacked, " he half - jokes with a grin, thinking he should probably pull away yet makes no move to. maybe he likes it more than he can say out loud, victoria thinking of him as something more than a bother or someone far too unserious.
victoria lets out a sigh of relief as she watches minkyu quickly make his way over to her, clearly not thinking twice as he places his body between the other man's and hers. she falters, panicking as she realizes she very well could've just put minkyu in danger — what if this man swung at him? what if they got into a fight because of her? what if he got hurt? she places a hand on minkyu's back, waiting as he takes care of the situation... in his own minkyu way, of course. usually, it would make her roll her eyes and she'd think of how he's full of jokes, how there's not a serious bone in his body. she figures this is the only way to handle this, especially as the other man walks away. again, she lets out a deep sigh of relief at the fact that he was able to deescalate the situation without a punch being thrown. maybe she shouldn't always judge how he acts...
"thank you." she means it. she's grateful that he had her back just like that, without a second thought. victoria doesn't roll her eyes at him this time, doesn't shake her head as he jokes like she usually does. she looks up at him with a smile before she takes his hand in hers and leads them somewhere quieter. well, quieter than the dance floor, that is. once she's found a spot, she lets go of his hand but only so she can take a moment to breathe. "my hero," she allows herself to joke (though it's not really a joke, is it?), "he was just..." victoria trails off with a shake of her head, choosing to wrap her arms around him and place her head on his chest. "i'm sorry you almost got into a fight." she apologizes, though it sounds a little muffled as she speaks against his shirt, "— you could've taken him on, though. right?"

he truly is livin' la vida loca right now, entirely forgetting that he'd attended a new year's eve party last night and shouted out the countdown louder than anyone else. maybe that's why his throat was hurting so much. " ah, it's cool. i'll just get another one. say, can i borrow five bucks ? i'll pay you back, swear. " he definitely would not pay jihoon back. those were just the perks of being bros for life, casa amigas who shared everything ! he doesn't get why the other isn't thoroughly enjoying his time here, as if he'd rather be back home doing what ... nothing ? minkyu did wonder what he was doing behind that locked door. there was only so much porn one man could watch. " why's it funny ? " he asks, furrowed brows to indicate his confusion. " of course, this place is like my second home anyway. you see that bartender over there ? name's cindy, and we went to second base behind the dumpsters in the back a few weeks ago, " he says, blatantly pointing to across the bar. " what ?! let's go find someone for you to kiss right now. we can make out here if you want to do, dude. " he still has a little bit of lipstick on from his own adventures anyway, might as well share the love. " you can only have one, jihoon, c'mon. everything after that is just a regular kiss. " he really needed to get his friend out more often. " of course. you know how much corn runs for these days ? i'm hooking us up with some premo shit. "
his roommate is so excited that jihoon can't find it in him to point out that new year was technically yesterday. "happy new year, man," he says instead, "you just spilled half your drink, though," he adds with an amused tone. the way the happiness fades from minkyu's face makes him chuckle. he didn't think he'd be particularly happy about it, but still, if he has to be here then he deserves something. "that's a funny question." maybe if he got drunk, he would be having fun, but alas. "but seems like you are having the time of your life." it was more minkyu's scene than his, anyway. "no midnight kiss," he confirms, to the surprise of no one. he had taken a step outside the club around the time! "how many midnight kisses have you had so far?" he teases lightly. "noodles and street corn? is that all i'm worth to you?"
