HVAC Services in The Construction Sector: Installation Upkeep

In the building construction sector, overseeing the installation and maintenance of certain services are a must to make constructions comfortable dwellings to live. The installation and maintenance of HVAC and its allied services are considered as one of the services which mandatory require a precise and skillful monitoring. Basically the sector is all about facilitating a specific area with proper lighting, air and proper temperature that is most suitable for living, working and carrying out certain specific temperature dependent tasks.

Likewise, there are sustenance organizations that have been formed in order to encourage the accomplishment of the high standards of the industry. As a first stage or the preliminary assessment, the environment of the location is studied in detail so as to determine the requirements and the other intricacies such as heat load calculation, interior and exterior climatic conditions and necessities. Establishing the universal doctrines of building construction and environment designing, the prerequisites of providing a suitable indoor atmosphere is then determined and the necessary sections are then joined together to form a complete pattern which is then executed accordingly. 

While we discuss about the internal air quality and comfort, it is certainly the HVAC or the heating ventilation and air-conditioning, system that controls the temperature in the specified area. Nevertheless a HVAC system necessarily requires a specialized technical person who is suitably qualified and experienced in heating, ventilation, air conditioning to install and perfectly tune the system to match the requirements of the interior and efficiently maintain the system. However the designing, setting up and control systems of these HVAC systems whether small area buildings or large scale multi-level buildings, are done by the estimation of the type of system that is needed and are meticulously designed, by choosing the applicable components, which are analysed and approved by qualified engineers. 

Once the HVAC components are assembled and installed accordingly they warrant a careful and consistent care owing to the fact that without a proper monitoring and maintenance the system may fail to perform as per the expectations. Certain organizations are specially qualified and trained for these kinds of activities and are experts at such technically demanding jobs. Located in Singapore, Techtimia is one such organization which is a committed and energetic team of specialists who offer services pertaining to HVAC that are essential to substantiate the purposes that are aimed at accomplishing the estimated structure.

Kitchen Hood an innovative and state-of-the-art ventilation option

A kitchen hood is an appliance that has been specifically designed to eliminate greasy fumes in the kitchen thereby assisting in the maintenance of the home. This innovative appliance is usually mounted directly above cooking ranges so that it directly captures, filters, and puts out grease that is formed by cooking oily and greasy foods. These kitchen hoods are also integrated with exhaust fans and sometimes lights to assist in working on the cooktop properly without any visual hindrances.

While speaking about the functionality, the mechanism is quite simple, the skirt or the funnel that jets out onto the cooktop sucks grease and smoke through the help of an exhaust fan. And it is thrown out through the ductwork thereby removing the greasy air from the kitchen area. Some sophisticated kitchen hoods are also integrated with air filters that clean the air from outside and bring them in so that fresh air circulates within the cooking area which is termed as recirculating. However these call for a bit of extra maintenance that has to be carried out periodically to keep them working well and efficiently. In any case, the kitchen hood installation services must be carried out by a qualified and experienced technician only.  

Choosing a kitchen hood also needs meticulous thinking and planning and some discussions with the people in the business of kitchen hood installation. Although there is quite a good range of kitchen hoods that are designed and made available, for the kitchen to function well and perform at its best, more emphasis has to be placed on the cooking top and the kitchen setup in order to make sure that the kitchen hood functions as per the requirements.

Our Strange Duet

Chapter 2: This Mess I Am

Fandom: Red Hood

Pairing: Jason Todd x f!reader

Warnings: none

Summary: YN comes to hang out

Taglist: @amberpanda99 @deans-spinster-witch

No, I'd rather pretend I'm something better than these broken parts, pretend I'm something other than this mess I am - Dear Evan Hansen

               Jason could do this.  YN had agreed to come over and hang out Saturday afternoon, at Dick’s place, with him.  She hadn’t seen it the last time they were together, he was too worried about his brother kicking her out, so he only went to her.  Now thought Dick was thoroughly onboard with getting YN back into Jason’s life.  Now she was the one who made him smile more, made him relax, helped him sleep, kept his nightmares at bay when she could invade his dreams instead.  Now she was coming to see him, maybe not to fall into each other’s arms (no matter how much he wanted that) but to be friends again, see if they still fit together like they had before. 

               “When is she getting here?” Dick called up.  Jason looked at his phone, the message ‘on my way’ on the screen from five minutes ago.  He glanced around his loft again, making sure everything was clean and looked presentable before barreling down the stairs, pulling on a sweater.  Dick cocked his eyebrow.

               “She’ll be here in a few minutes…what’s that face?” Jason asked.  Dick motioned to the black and gray sweater.  It was an 80-degree August day in Gotham, the sweater looked stupid, but he wanted to look good for her.  Every time he used to see her, he was in his early Red Hood gear, combat pants, tshirt, maybe a black hoodie or leather jacket.  He was in college now, he was supposed to look cool when he met up with someone he liked, not a kid. 

               “The sweater is too much,” Dick said.  “Take it off and just wear the tshirt, the girl has seen you almost bleed out, if that didn’t chase her away a black tshirt won’t either.”  Jason scowled a little but tore off the sweater, looking around for something to do with it when the buzzer rang.  Dick took the sweater while Jason went to let her into the elevator.  He watched his big brother throw the sweater in the trash can, eyes widening.  “Its also an ugly sweater and if she ever sees you in it she’ll swim back to Singapore, you’ll thank me later.”  Jason almost strangled him when there was a knock at the door.  He tried to flatten his hair a little, opening the door. 

               “Hey,” YN said, almost making Jason melt into the floor.  He had never thought she would be at his place, walking in and looking around, probably wondering how much a place like this cost.  He wondered that constantly, but Dick refused to let him try to help with rent, so he didn’t know. 

               “Come in, um, ya, you said you were nervous about auditions, wanted my help picking a song?” he said, scrambling.  He had planned several things to do, books he wanted to talk about, watch a movie he knew she would love but had said she hadn’t seen yet but her appearance at his door had momentarily broken his brain.  Dick was standing in the kitchen marveling that his little brother, the terror that stalked Crime Alley and the Narrows, making hardened criminals wet themselves at the very sight of him, was stammering and falling over himself over this girl.  If he wasn’t the exact same way with Barbara he would have laughed. 

               “Thanks, I have a couple ideas, but I know I’m not getting a part, I have no opera talent, my voice just doesn’t work that way,” she said.  “But I still want to show that I have some talent in case they do something next year in my wheelhouse.”  Dick watched as she rambled, moving to put her bag down on the couch, but missing and dropping it to the floor.  O Lord, they were both hopeless. 

               “Can I stay and listen?” he asked, now worried about running interference for Jason.  His brother glared at him but YN smiled.

               “Thanks, ya, I would love opinions.  Jason has heard me sing before, I don’t know if he’ll be objective,” she said.  Dick nodded, walking over and sitting on the couch.  Jason sat next to him, arms folded as YN got ready.  It took exactly four words before Jason was falling back to sitting on her couch singing to her and having her sing to him, her smile making him feel so warm in his chest and despite knowing that he wasn’t loved outside of that room it was ok.  She did three songs, one Phantom related song and two others and they decided on one before she looked at Jason.

               “Did you pick a song?” she asked, sitting down next to him.  He shrugged.

               “I was just going to do the love song,” he said.  She eyed him. 

               “You want to be Raoul?” she asked.  He shrugged again.  “You’re not Raoul, he’s too pretty.”  Jason made a fake offended face and Dick chuckled.  “You know I don’t mean like that, he’s…Dick, boy scout, sweetheart, golden retriever.  You’re not that, you should do Music of the Night, the reprise sung by Erik, you’re the phantom.” 

               “Have you been thinking about this?” he asked.  This time she shrugged, blushing.  She was thinking about him.  Dick stood up then.

               “I’m going to go get some work done in my office,” he said, looking at Jason and nodding before heading off.  YN looked to Jason.

               “Did I chase him away with my Raoul comparison?” she asked.  Jason laughed. 

               “No, he’s probably going to watch the musical so he can figure out if what you said was a compliment or not,” he said.  She laughed and then sighed.  “Hey, want to watch that movie we talked about?”  She nodded and he got it set up, sitting next to her. 

               It took every ounce of willpower in him to not try and put his arm around her or take her hand as that movie played.  About halfway through they realized it was kind of boring so he paused it for them to chat instead and it was almost like old times, but something loomed over her as she talked, a rain cloud.  Her smile didn’t always reach her eyes and she would fall silent, a far away look in her eyes for just a few moments before coming back to him. 

               “YN?” he said softly when she vanished again.  She shook herself and looked at him apologetically.  “You can talk about it, with me.”  She looked down, biting her lip. 

               “Its just, she would be so happy I found my way back to you again.  I keep hearing what she would say in my head.  She really liked you, said you made me shine.  I know that we can’t just…go back to what we were, I mean, we both are different not, but I’m not opposed to the idea if you’re not.  At least, I’m not opposed to letting myself fall for you again,” she said.  Jason stared.  This honesty was new.  She’d never lied to him, never had led him around or anything, but she’d never been so blunt about her feelings.  It normally took time for her to say what she was feeling without a joke or sass.  Now she was being vulnerable, laying it all out there for him and he didn’t know how to respond.  Her mother’s death seemed to make her more open, more trusting, maybe more loving since she knew that things didn’t last sometimes.  Jason over the last several months had become more closed off.  Bruce knew he was alive and hadn’t once tried to talk to him, Alfred either, he wasn’t sure which one hurt worse.  He wanted to keep his feelings close to his chest, didn’t want to admit to things like she did for fear of the pain that would come later, when they abandoned him.  The silence stretched longer than he meant it to and he saw her eyes glaze a little as she realized that he wasn’t responding how she thought he would.  How he would have before.  She nodded and stood up.

               “YN…” he said, trying to recover, willing himself to say what she wanted to hear, what he wanted to say, but there was a door there that seemed to stop him.  She shook her head, wiping her eyes a little.

               “Its ok Jason, I know I walked out on you before and I know that you were upset about your dad not talking to you.  I know how scared you are of feelings like this, big feelings, I should have waited before saying anything to you about it.  Waited until we understood each other better,” she said, grabbing her bag.  “I’m going to go, um, think about the song for the audition and talk to me later, please?”

               Jason nodded; throat dry as she headed out the door.  He wanted to throw something, wanted to hit something.  It was just getting dark, so he went to gear up, needing to do something that wasn’t sit here in his self-doubt and self-pity.  He needed to not be Jason for a while.

Step into the Future with Brilliant Labs' Frame: The Game-Changing AI Glasses You Need Now

In a world where technology is evolving at breakneck speed, Brilliant Labs is making waves with its latest innovation: the Frame AI glasses. These aren’t just another pair of smart glasses; they represent a whole new approach to how we interact with technology. If you’ve ever wished for a device that could seamlessly integrate into your daily life, helping you tackle real-world problems without the clunkiness of traditional gadgets, then Frame is the answer. Let’s dive into what makes these glasses a must-have in today’s tech-savvy world.

What is Brilliant Labs?

Brilliant Labs, a Singapore-based company, is no stranger to innovation. Known for their open-source projects like Monocle, a pocket-sized AR device, they’ve now stepped up the game with Frame. In a market crowded with tech giants like Amazon, Meta, Apple, and Microsoft, Brilliant Labs is carving out a unique niche. They’re not interested in flashy, over-the-top features. Instead, they focus on creating products that blend effortlessly into your life, giving you the power of AI right at your fingertips—or rather, right in front of your eyes.

A New Vision: What Makes Frame Stand Out?

So, what makes Frame different from other smart glasses? It all starts with the design. At first glance, Frame looks like a regular pair of glasses. There’s no bulky hardware or awkward add-ons. Brilliant Labs has taken inspiration from iconic eyewear worn by historical figures like Gandhi, John Lennon, and Steve Jobs. The result? A pair of glasses that looks stylish and timeless while packing some serious tech under the hood.

But don’t let the minimalist design fool you. Frame is loaded with features that set it apart from the competition. The slightly thicker frame and rounded temple tips are more than just design choices; they house dual 105mAh batteries, a 720p low-power camera, a microphone, and AR optics. These components work together to provide an immersive, hands-free experience, allowing you to interact with AI in a way that feels natural and unobtrusive.

Lightweight and Powerful: The Specs You Need

When it comes to tech specs, Frame strikes a perfect balance between functionality and comfort. Weighing just 39 grams, these glasses are light enough to wear all day without causing any strain. Compare that to other devices like the Apple Vision Pro, which weighs a hefty 600 grams, and it’s clear that Frame is designed for real-world use, not just short bursts of high-intensity activity.

The 640×400 micro OLED display provides clear, sharp visuals, while the 720p camera captures the visual data needed for AI to assist you effectively. And here’s the kicker: unlike other smart glasses that focus on capturing and storing every moment of your life, Frame’s camera is optimized to analyze visual information in real time. This means you get the help you need without worrying about privacy concerns.

AI at Your Service: How Frame Can Help You

The real magic of Frame lies in its AI capabilities. Powered by Noa, an app that integrates various AI models, these glasses can help you solve problems, big or small, with just a voice command. Whether you need to identify a landmark, translate a foreign language, or even check if your dinner plans align with your diet, Frame has you covered.

Imagine this: You’re traveling in a foreign country and come across a sign in a language you don’t understand. Instead of pulling out your phone and using a translation app, you simply look at the sign and ask Noa to translate it for you. The translation appears right on the lens, in real-time, without you having to break your stride.

Or picture this: Your child accidentally burns their hand while helping in the kitchen. With Frame, you can ask Noa to assess the burn’s severity, recommend a home remedy, and even decide if you need to visit a doctor—all while comforting your child. It’s these “superpower” moments that set Frame apart from other AI devices.

Staying Open: Why Brilliant Labs Embraces Open-Source

One of the most exciting aspects of Frame is its open-source nature. Brilliant Labs believes in giving people the tools and freedom to create whatever they want. This philosophy has already led to some incredible innovations, like RizzGPT, a real-time conversation coach developed by Stanford students using Brilliant Labs’ earlier product, Monocle.

With Frame, the possibilities are endless. Developers and DIY enthusiasts can access all the design files, code, and documentation they need on GitHub to customize and optimize the glasses for their own needs. Whether you’re looking to enhance the AI capabilities or create entirely new functionalities, Brilliant Labs has made it possible for anyone to get involved in shaping the future of AI.

The Future is Now: Why You Need Frame in Your Life

In a world where tech giants are competing to create the flashiest, most feature-packed devices, Brilliant Labs is taking a different approach. Frame is designed to be a part of your life, not just another gadget you use occasionally. It’s lightweight, comfortable, and powerful enough to handle the challenges of everyday life without weighing you down—literally and figuratively.

Whether you’re a tech enthusiast, a busy parent, or someone who simply wants to make their life a little easier, Frame offers a glimpse into the future of AI and augmented reality. And the best part? It’s available now, ready to help you unlock your full potential.

So, why wait? Step into the future with Brilliant Labs’ Frame and experience the next level of AI-powered convenience. The future is here, and it’s time to see the world through a new lens—quite literally.

Kitchen Renovation Disaster Stories: Avoid These Common Mistakes

Renovating your kitchen can be an exciting project, but it can also turn into a nightmare if you're not careful. Over the years, I've seen and heard my fair share of renovation horror stories from friends and acquaintances in Singapore. Here are some common mistakes to avoid when undertaking a kitchen remodel Singapore.

Rushing into Decisions

One of the biggest pitfalls in kitchen renovation is rushing into decisions without proper planning. Hiring a reputable kitchen renovation contractor Singapore is crucial, but so is taking the time to consider your options:

Research: Take time to research different materials, designs, and contractors.

Budget: Set a realistic budget and stick to it to avoid overspending.

Ignoring Functional Layouts

Aesthetic appeal is important, but functionality should never be compromised. I've seen cases where homeowners prioritize style over practicality, leading to regrets later. Consider these tips:

Workflow: Plan the layout to optimize workflow between cooking, storage, and cleaning areas.

Storage: Ensure ample storage space for utensils, pots, and pantry items.

Choosing Cheap Materials

Trying to save costs by opting for the cheapest materials often backfires. Low-quality materials may look good initially but can deteriorate quickly, leading to additional expenses down the line:

Quality: Invest in durable materials for countertops, cabinets, and flooring.

Longevity: Quality materials not only look better but also last longer, saving you money in the long run.

Underestimating the Timeline

Renovations rarely finish exactly on schedule. Delays can occur due to unforeseen issues or changes in design plans. It's essential to:

Plan Ahead: Factor in buffer time for unexpected delays.

Communication: Maintain open communication with your contractor to stay updated on progress.

Overlooking Lighting and Ventilation

Good lighting and ventilation are often underestimated in kitchen renovations. Poor lighting can make tasks difficult, while inadequate ventilation can lead to moisture issues and odors:

Lighting: Install task lighting under cabinets and ambient lighting for overall brightness.

Ventilation: Invest in a good range hood to ensure proper air circulation.

Failing to Obtain Permits

In Singapore, certain renovations require permits and approvals from the Housing Development Board (HDB) or Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA). Failure to obtain necessary permits can lead to fines and legal issues:

Compliance: Check with local authorities or your contractor regarding necessary permits.

Documentation: Keep all permits and approvals in order to avoid complications.

Wrapping Up

Renovating your kitchen can significantly enhance your home's value and livability if done right. By avoiding these common mistakes and working closely with a reliable kitchen renovation contractor in Singapore, you can ensure a smoother and more satisfying renovation experience. Remember, careful planning and attention to detail are key to achieving the kitchen of your dreams without the headaches.

How to Handle Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning

A well-maintained kitchen is paramount for any person who enjoys the delicious flavors of Singaporean cuisine. However, cleanliness extends quite far past countertops and stovetops. Often overlooked, Kitchen exhaust systems play a vital role in ensuring a safe and efficient cooking environment. Regular professional kitchen exhaust cleaning in Singapore isn't just about feel anyway fire safety, hygiene, and optimal performance.

Grease buildup is an inevitable consequence of cooking, especially in high-volume kitchens. This greasy residue accumulates inside the exhaust hood, filters, ducts, and fan. Left unchecked, it creates a significant fire hazard. In Singapore's hot and humid climate, this risk is further amplified, making regular professional kitchen exhaust cleaning a necessity.

Cleaning companies in Singapore use specialized techniques and equipment to completely remove this grease buildup. This minimizes the risk of fire as well as guarantees compliance with regulations set forth by the Singapore Civil Protection Force (SCDF).

Past fire safety, professional kitchen exhaust cleaning in Singapore offers a multitude of benefits. A clogged exhaust system can lead to poor ventilation, resulting in a buildup of smoke, odors, and heat inside the kitchen. This not just creates an unpleasant working environment for chefs and staff but can also directly impact the quality of cooked food. Regular cleaning guarantees proper airflow, keeping the kitchen cool, comfortable, and free from unwanted aromas, in this way preserving the taste and quality of your dishes.

Moreover, kitchen exhaust cleaning can positively affect the lifespan and efficiency of the actual system. Grease buildup can impede the fan's performance, forcing it to work harder to extract smoke and heat. This increases energy consumption and overwhelms the motor, leading to premature wear and tear. Professional cleaning companies remove grease and inspect the entire system, identifying and addressing potential problems before they become significant issues.

Professional kitchen exhaust cleaning benefits in Singapore extend past restaurants and commercial kitchens. Homes with heavy cooking habits can likewise profit from this service. By removing grease buildup, professional cleaners can significantly improve the efficiency of the exhaust hood, guaranteeing proper ventilation and preventing the buildup of smoke and odors inside the home.

Singaporean restaurants, kitchens, and homes can guarantee a safe, efficient, and hygienic cooking environment by prioritizing professional kitchen exhaust cleaning. A small investment yields significant benefits regarding fire safety, air quality, equipment longevity, and cooking experience. In this way, don't underestimate the power of a clean exhaust system - it's a key ingredient in a well-functioning kitchen.

Sparkling Kitchen: Hood & Hob Care

Singapore's culinary delights take centre stage in busy kitchens, and the importance of a clean and well-maintained cooker hood and cooker hob cannot be overstated. These essential kitchen appliances are necessary to ensure a smoke-free and efficient cooking environment. Learn the proper cleaning and maintenance of your cooker hood and hob, ensuring they remain in top-notch condition for years.

Cleaning Your Cooker Hood

Regular Filter Maintenance:

The filters in your cooker hood are the first defence against grease and odours. In Singapore's vibrant food culture, where the aroma of diverse cuisines fills the air, cleaning and maintenance of these filters should be regular. For mesh filters, soak them in warm, soapy water, then gently scrub away any accumulated grease. For charcoal filters, replacement is often necessary – follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the specific model.

Exterior Surfaces:

The exterior surfaces of your cooker hood, whether stainless steel, glass, or another material, can accumulate grease and grime over time. Use a soft cloth and a mild detergent to wipe down these surfaces. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish. In Singapore's humid climate, this routine cleaning helps prevent the buildup of stubborn residue.

Ventilation Ducts:

Over time, the ventilation ducts of your cooker hood may collect grease and debris, hindering optimal performance. Periodically, check and clean these ducts to ensure a smooth airflow. Use a vacuum cleaner or a soft brush to remove accumulated dust or particles. For a more thorough cleaning, consider employing professional service.

Maintaining Your Cooker Hob

Regular Surface Cleaning:

Whether you have a gas, electric, or induction cooker hob, the surface should be regularly cleaned to prevent the buildup of food stains and spills. For electric and induction hobs, wait until the surface has cooled, then use a mild cleaner and a soft cloth. Gas hobs require more attention – remove the burners and clean them with warm, soapy water.

Control Panel Care:

The control panel of your cooker hob is susceptible to spills and splatters during cooking. Use a damp cloth to clean the control knobs and buttons, taking care not to let moisture seep into the electrical components. Regular attention to the control panel enhances the longevity of your cooker hob, ensuring seamless operation.

Gas Burner Maintenance:

If you have a gas hob, the burners play a vital role in cooking. Periodically inspect the burners for clogs, ensuring the flames are even and blue. Any irregularities may indicate a need for professional maintenance. In Singapore, where hawker centres and home kitchens rely heavily on gas hobs, regular maintenance is essential to preventing disruptions in the cooking routine.

Additional Tips for Singaporean Kitchens

Climate Considerations:

Singapore's tropical climate can impact kitchen appliances. With this comes the duty of ensuring that your cooker hood and cooker hob allow air circulation by being well-ventilated. By doing this, moisture can not accumulate and mould and mildew growth can be prevented.

Professional Servicing:

While regular cleaning is crucial, professional servicing is equally important. Schedule periodic maintenance checks for your cooker hood and cooker hob to address any underlying issues and ensure optimal performance. In Singapore, where culinary adventures are a way of life, this proactive approach can save you from unexpected disruptions.

Conclusion

Proper care and maintenance of cooker hoods and cooker hobs are paramount in the fiery Singaporean kitchens. By following these guidelines, you ensure the longevity and efficiency of your kitchen appliances and also create a clean and inviting cooking space. Take the time to invest in the upkeep of your cooker hood and cooker hob, and you'll be rewarded with a kitchen that continues to shine, reflecting the vibrant culinary spirit of Singapore.

The mechanism of such a system comprises of a basic heat distribution unit such as heat pump, to pump hot air into the location where the hot air is generated by a furnace, heater or a similar device. Heat thus generated is transferred by either convection conduction or radiation modes. Modern warm air supply systems dispense such heated air by ducts fabricated by metal or fiberglass and placed in proper areas of the specified locations. The process of exchanging or replenishing air in any given space to remove unwanted moisture, dust and other airborne contaminants, carbon dioxide, is referred to as the process of ventilation. The supply of the fresh outside air into the building’s indoor space which is one of the most essential factors for sustaining indoor air quality has to be carried out in a well-planned and meticulous way. Ventilation usually is delivered by a mechanical air handler in modern systems. When proper ventilation is effected, humidity, odours and other airborne contaminants can be organized by measured attenuation or replacement by the outside fresh air. Considering health benefits, proper ventilation plays critical role in decreasing and controlling the chances of airborne illnesses. The third aspect that plays a significant part in the control of the warmth or temperature of air in the desired location is the air conditioning system. This system comes in as a standalone air conditioner or a centralised system with ducting which provides significant cooling and humidity control. Air conditioning in any building necessarily requires properly air sealed windows and doors which otherwise would tend to work antagonistic to the air-conditioning system. In an air conditioning system the outside air is siphoned into the system through an input vent, which is then pushed into an indoor / outdoor heat exchanger section where the air is cooled down and is guided to the desired space. However, these kinds of services can only be offered by a well-qualified and experienced organization like Techtimia, which exclusively deals with such technically advanced products and facilities.

The kitchen hood is the wonder appliance that keeps the kitchen neat and clean

The kitchen area is a place that sometimes becomes the most neglected, even though it is one of the most vital areas of a home or a commercial eatery. It is said that a clean and well-maintained kitchen at home represents the family's overall health. Certain gadgets help to keep the kitchen clean and tidy, as well as get rid of kitchen fumes, so that the time-consuming manual labour that would otherwise be required is greatly reduced. Among the most widely used gadgets to keep the kitchen in good shape is the kitchen hood. A kitchen hood is such a device, consisting of an exhaust fan. The device hangs above the stove, where cooking is usually done in the kitchen.

Intended to expel airborne oil smears, kitchen fumes, kitchen smoke, heat, and unwanted steam from the air, the process that takes place within the device is the evacuation of the impure smoke and filtering the same, thereby expelling it and preventing it from entering other parts of the house. When used in combination with fire suppression devices, kitchen hood services are so efficient that fumes from a grease fire get properly vented, and in the case of any accidental fire, it can also be put out quickly.

In some cases, these are also combined with an exhaust fan, where the interior air and the cooking fumes can be easily drawn out by the hood. In some more advanced exhaust hood, a filtration system that is integrated with it efficiently removes airborne grease and other unwanted particles. The kitchen hood expels the interior air outside in order to circulate fresh air; but in some sophisticated kitchen hoods, the air in the kitchen is recirculated after filtering the impure air. Air filters are used in such a recirculating system to remove odours from the kitchen as well as oil fumes, grease, and smoky air.

The kitchen hood leads to a duct from which unwanted fumes and air are expelled. Since the passage is always in contact with fumes and kitchen air, the cleaner the ducting, the better the performance of the gadget. Hence the kitchen hood skirt or the opening over the stove, the exhaust fan, and the duct are the three main components that are to be maintained well and serviced periodically. Since this process happens to be a tricky job, only a professional service person can carry out the job in a proper manner. In this regard, there are quite a few organisations that are in this business.

three years ago

you slide out from under the car you've been working on when you hear an unfamiliar engine approaching the garage. it must be a customer, you think as you go to the front desk to help them.

the man who enters the office surprises you. he has light brown hair and is wearing black jeans with a white shirt with black flowers. his dark brown eyes sparkle with curiosity as he sees you. a black maserati is parked behind him.

"can i help you?" you ask, freely.

"i have a faulty spark plug and my garage is on the other side of the planet. they told me this was the best place in town."

"and it is. go ahead and go into the store."

"don't mechanics normally keep people waiting in the office?" he asked amused.

"only when the person doesn't know anything about cars. obviously you do, so you have to keep me company while i fix it," you smirk.

"what's your name, suh? -he asks, using the last name on your work shirt.

"y/n. yours?"

"yuta. nakamoto yuta."

"nice to meet you. let's get that car fixed, shall we?"

a few minutes later, the black car is with the hood open in the garage. yuta, on the other hand, is helping you by handing you the necessary tools. you let his fingers brush a little more than strictly necessary when yuta hands you a wrench.

yuta smiles and leans back against the car once you're done. "how much do i owe you?" he asks quietly.

it takes you a second to really register how close you are to each other. you look him in the eye. "how about you take me out to dinner and the debt is settled?" you ask in a sudden flare of audacity.

fortunately, he smiles.

"my thoughts exactly. what time will you be out here?

“six.”

he looks down at that ridiculously nice black gold watch.

"it's only an hour from now. how about i keep you company until then?"

"i'd like that."

"so what were you working on before I showed up?"

"my charger over there. there are some bastards who want to compete with me saying their luxury imports can beat it. tonight they're in for an ugly surprise."

you assume yuta has heard about your garage, knows about your regular clientele. they consider themselves the best store around to the fellow street racers. but to everyone else, it's just a small garage.

"that sounds like something i'd like to see. mind if i stay and watch you kick their asses?"

"it'd be my pleasure," you smile.

as expected, you end up following yuta back to his apartment after winning the race by a solid car length. the endorphins from winning the race flood your senses, and yuta is amazed that he had managed to stumble upon such an amazing girl. someone like him.

sl walking, you find yourself wrapped in warm arms and leaning against a hard chest. you caress the dragon-shaped tattoo on his right shoulder and plant a kiss on it.

a quiet moan tells you she is waking up. his arm tightens around her. he plants a kiss on your forehead.

"Good morning to you too," you say.

yuta rolls you onto his back and rests his torso on top of yours. "good morning."

"You look happy.

"i woke up with a beautiful, bad-ass, street-racing woman in my arms. how could i complain?"

you laugh. "well, i could say the same thing. it's not often i get to wake up next to a hot guy and  that brother would probably beat up if he knew where i spent the night."

he barks out a laugh. "you're most likely right..." he bites his lip. "there's something you need to know."

your smile disappears. "you're not married, are you?"

"no! god, no," he replies instantly. "i just want to know if you want it to be more than a brief fling."

you are silent for a moment as he thought.

"yes, i think so. i mean, we could get to know each other better but yes," you explain.

"then we're on the same page," you nod absently. "do you want to have breakfast before we go on with our talk?"

you can't help but get a little nervous. what does he have to say?

"what do you want for breakfast?"

"uh..." you sit up, holding the black sheet against your chest to cover yourself. "whatever. i'm not particularly picky."

yuta nods and gets out of bed, pulling on a pair of gray sweatpants. he leaves his room and you lie back down on the bed. your cell phone rings somewhere in yuta's room and you grunt getting up to look for it. you find it inside your jeans.

"y/n! where the hell are you?" johnny asks as soon as you answer the phone. “you didn’t come home last night, and jaehyun said there was a guy watching you the entire race.”

“don’t worry about it, brother. that guy was my date last night. i’m at this place right now,” you grin.

“hold on, you had a date?! who? why didn’t you tell me?” johnny bombards you with questions.

you sigh. you saw this coming.

“everything all right?” yuta asks, entering his bedroom.

“my brother,” you say with your mouth. “johnny! easy with the questions. i’ll tell you later, bye!”

“be responsible!” it can be heard from the phone and you hang up.

you exhale dramatically and fall back on the bed.

“trouble, dear?” yuta inquiries.

you raise your head to look at him. “big brothers are tedious,” you announce after a minute.

“i wouldn’t know; i’m the older brother.”

“oh?”

yuta smiles warmly. “i have a younger brother. the idiot used to fight older bullies in the yard, and i was the one who had to finish them off.”

you smirk. “you protected him. my brother’s the same way.”

“let’s eat, okay? i still need to talk about something important,” yuta declares.

you nod and he tosses you slightly one of his shirts. you put it on and grab your panties putting them on.

yuta made sunny side up eggs and french toasts. between bites, yuta begins to speak. “i work for the korean mafia.”

“huh?” you stop eating and stare at him. “you what?”

yuta laughs lightly. “i work for the korean mafia.” he repeats. “i bet you’re wondering what a japanese guy is doing working for the korean mafia.”

“not exactly my first thought but yes,” you shrug. “what do you do?”

“let’s say i’m a middleman between the korean mafia and the yakuza,” he confesses.

you frown. “so you buy goods from them and sell them?”

yuta raises an eyebrow at you. “what are you? a businesswoman?”

you laugh and have a bite of your toast. “i went to business school, but i dropped out this semester.”

“hot,” he plants a kiss on your lips. “so yes, that’s my job. aren’t you scared?”

“of what? you? your job?” you snort. “i’ve seen way worse in the underground. i gotta say i’m surprised because i thought you were a good boy.”

yuta chuckles. “i am good at other things,” he winks at you.

you push the plate aside and sit on his lap. “i can’t recall, do you mind refreshing my memory?”

yuta grins and places his hand on your ass cheeks. “aren’t you too sore?”

“pain is my best friend,” you nip at his lip and he groans.

yuta kisses you and his hand goes to your throat tilting your head to the side and biting your neck harshly. you whimper at the painful yet pleasurable sensation. yuta shushes you and darts his eyes to you. “i thought you enjoyed the pain, baby girl.”

one year ago

you’re standing in front of his gravestone and place the flower bouquet next to it. the only sound is the wind, rustling through a nearby copse of trees. it has been five days since yuta died and the hole in your chest only gets deeper.

it hurts.

you’re broken.

your life without him means nothing. the city without him means nothing. nothing makes sense without him.

“you shouldn’t have died,” you say. “we could have been better.” you mumble, sitting in front of the grave. “it’s weird, today i woke up and i thought i heard your voice. am i going crazy?” you scoff.

you stare at the gravestone and then lower your heard. “i came to say goodbye. i can’t stay here anymore. everywhere i go i see your face. everyone reminds me of you.”

you feel tears streaming down your face. “i’ll never forget you, yuta. i love you so much.” you burst out crying.

after you left town, you were pretty much everywhere: singapore, thailand, indonesia, philippines, malaysia and even japan for a few weeks. racing and making a fame known as the ‘nameless girl’ who would beat everyone.

you left a note to johnny saying you’d be okay and you would return when you feel ready to.

you didn’t stay long in every country and you didn’t make any relations so things didn’t attach to you there. you were lonely but you got used to it. and you didn’t dislike it.

one night, you decided it was time to come back home. yuta would never come back and you felt you moved on.

the train arrives at its last stop and you grab your small suitcase exiting it. you walk and take a taxi to your house, or johnny’s house just to find a party. people and their racing cars everywhere.

of course. it’s friday.

you get into your house and see people everywhere. people dancing, no, grinding on each other’s bodies and blowing some smoke. perhaps weed. you walk through the crowded living room and spot johnny sipping a beer. you don’t know how he's going to react since you didn’t tell anyone you’re back.

you walk to johnny but he’s interrupted by a red haired and kissed him. you roll your eyes, johnny and his bitches.

you change your direction walking to the kitchen and see jaehyun talking to some people. he turns to you and doesn’t seem to notice you, it’s when he turns again and his face brightens up with a smile. “y/n!” he walks to you and tugs you for a hug, lifting you from the ground.

“hi,” you giggle, placing a kiss on his cheek.

jaehyun puts you back on the ground and smiles, "i almost didn't recognize you, you've changed so much."

“i just dyed my hair: i got babylights,” you grin.

“i like them, you look great,” jaehyun nods. “but where have you been?!”

“huh everywhere?” you shrug.

“and you couldn’t call?” he stares at you.

“i know, i’m sorry,” you rest a hand on his shoulder. “we’ll talk later, okay? where’s everyone?”

“johnny is lena, jungwoo is having a blunt with jinsoul in the yard and of course jisung is in his room, he’s not allowed to come downstairs,” jaehyun comments.

you nod and rest your hands on your waist. “i don’t know half of these people. who are they?”

“johnny became kind of a sponsor?” jaehyun frowns and you laugh. “no, it’s true! half of these people are rich kids betting on johnny's people, he met two guys that are literally gods of racing.”

“i’d like to see that,” you add. “what are their names?”

“mark lee and lee donghyuck,” jaehyun hands you a beer. “they’re dickheads but we’ve been getting so much money because of them.”

you scoff. “they’re just lucky. i am back.”

jaehyun whistles, smiling. “that’s the attitude, baby. i can’t wait to see you race again.”

you smirk. “i bet you wanna.”

“ah, johnny’s coming,” jaehyun murmurs.

you turn and see a blond haired johnny walking towards you. you tuck your hands into your jeans pocket and smile nicely. “hi brother.”

“when people started saying my sister was here i didn’t believe it because maybe she left this fucking town a year ago leaving just a note!” johnny exclaims. “and thought ‘why would she return just like that?’”

you sigh. “i’m sorry, johnny. but i’m back and i’m okay. that’s the only thing that should matters.”

johnny rolls his eyes. “are you dumb?”

you frown. “just because you’re my brother i d-

“half-brother,” johnny remarks.

“fuck you, johnny,” you hiss and leave the kitchen

when johnny gets upset he tends to be the classical dickhead and uses the ‘half-brother’ excuse just to hurt you. you think you might deserve it, but why is it so hard for him to understand why you left? why you need to leave?

maybe it’s because he has never loved someone the way you loved yuta. or maybe he’s too selfish to understand it.

of course you also think you didn’t do the right thing by simply disappearing out of the blue, but again, you don’t owe anything to no one.

you go to the bathroom that is next to the stairs and groan when you realise it’s locked. you lean against the wall and sigh. next to you, there are three girls whispering and laughing. you don’t care, until you hear your name.

“did you see y/n? she’s back,” one of them says.

“yeah. i thought she was in jail,” the other mocks.

“in jail? for what?” she laughs.

“apparently she was the one that killed yuta,” she comments. “and ran away, but my boyfriend told me the police caught her.”

the blonde one laughs. “poor thing.”

“and i’d go back to jail for ripping your ugly faces off,” you murmur, still leaning against the wall.

the girls stare at you and they decide to leave. you groan, rolling your eyes. “assholes.”

someone walking down the hallway whistles and smiles at you. “should i be concerned about my well being right now?.”

you look at them and you see a black haired guy, wearing a green jacket with black ripped jeans and black shirt. you scoff. “fuck off, dude.”

“but please don’t rip my face off.,” the guy rests his hand on his chest.

you stare at him and clench your jaw. “bugger off, dude. really, i’m not in the mood to take someone’s shit.”

“sorry,” he nods. “i’m mark by the way,” he passes the bottle of the beer he’s drinking to his free hand and extends his hand.

you look at his hand, hesitant. you shake your head and take it. “y/n.”

he grins, gripping at your hand. “you’re the famous y/n.”

you chuckle. “and you’re not the famous mark lee.”

mark smiles sideways. “so you’ve heard about me.”

“very little,” you shrug. “nothing impressive.”

“ah, they weren’t wrong when they said you’re a bitch,” mark frees your hand.

“did i hurt your feelings?” you pout mockingly.

“you’re gonna need more than that to hurt my feelings, gorgeous,” he winks at you.

you nod. “noted, boy. well, it was nice talking to you.”

“you leaving already?” mark asks.

“yeah. i’m tired and i need a place to sleep,” you say. “i guess i’ll see you around.”

mark nods. “have a good night, y/n.”

(...)

“when did she get back? how come i didn't see her?” donghyuck slides off the plastic armrest of the outdoor sofa he was sitting on.

jeno walks away to get a drink. “who 's back?” he asks.

“y/n suh,” mark replies.

“johnny’s sister?” jeno looks at him.

donghyuck and mark nod.

“what was she in jail for, like, a year?” jeno’s voice drops to a whisper.

“she was in jail?” donghyuck stares at mark.

“no. she just disappeared last fall,” mark explains.

“it was probably jail,” donghyuck adds, “that or she had a baby. i mean, the timing kind of fits for that, don’t you think?”

“and where’s the baby, smartass?” mark glances at him.

“gave it away for adoption,” donghyuck shrugs.

“what are you fuckers talking about,” johnny questions, going outside the house.

“your sibling,” jeno admits, earning an elbow to his side by mark.

johnny laughs and turns to look out over his yard. “which one?”

“y/n.”

“watch it, dude,” jaehyun warns him, joining them outside.. “johnny’s not too forgiving when it comes to his siblings.”

“noted.” jeno nods.

“anyways, i’m here to talk business,” johnny sits in front of them.

“back to the things i like,” mark comments.

johnny grins. “there’s a race next weekend, 15 grand for the winner.”

donghyuck whistles. “i like what i’m hearing already.”

“it’s a bit complicated since it won’t be in an enclosed area as usual. it will be in downtown LA,” johnny adds.

“count me in,” mark says.

“dude, do you know how risky it is?” jeno stares at him.

“i’ve done riskier things and here i am,” mark rolls his eyes. “i’ll be there, johnny.”

“you’re my favourite,” johnny smiles and looks at jeno and donghyuck. “you two are disappointing me.”

“i can live with that but not in jail,” donghyuck smirks.

“pussy,” jaehyun hums.

“sorry mr. in-n-out-from-jail,” donghyuck rolls his eyes.

mark chuckles. “that race it’s already mine. and the cops can suck my dick, they wish they were as fast as me.”

“my canadian boy right here is the shit,” johnny smiles.

(...)

the bright neon lights. the skimpy clothing worn by chasers. the many cars lined up.

it's another night in los angeles, and another night means another race.

mark breathes it in as he leans on his orange acura nsx. not a single scratch in sight on the top of the car. although he's working with a sponsor, he has his own gang known as death angels, because they’re risk takers, or most of them are.. he can hear the countless bickering of his gang, who are also his closest friends. donghyuck, jeno, and earphone yves, lucas, bickering about god knows what now. jeno and lucas are conversing about seeing some new people joining the race.

there's no doubt he probably owns the most showy and expensive car in the entire parking lot. until a brown haired girl, who he knows, motioned him to come over.

you.

"seems like you got a challenger," donghyuck murmurs.

"tsk, anyone can beat her. what's so special about her anyway?" mark says, annoyed.

yves clicks her tongue. "i wouldn't be so sure about it, babe."

you get off from your car, hair tied up, perfectly showing your features. your toned eyes are slightly covered with black eyeliner. wearing tight jeans, black t-shirt and a red leather jacket.

you look like you are meant to be there. not a chaser wanting attention, not a flag girl wanting to show herself off, but. tracer. the crowd don't bother you. you begin to slightly look around, and that's when you see mark. you and mark lock eyes, and with a strut, you walk with a confident walk over mark.

crossing your arms, showing off your figure, you take a breath, and open your mouth. "no shit you're here as well."

mark scoffs. "i'm a car racer, where else was i supposed to be?"

"junior leagues," you shrug and you hear one of his friends laugh.

mark stares at you and grins. "i challenge you to a race. simply, nobody else. that is if you are up for it."

the offer is rather simple.

an easy 10-second style race, just the two of you, nobody else.

you let out a breathy chuckle, nodding your head. "alright then, it's settled." you reply, standing up to his level, and leaning over his ear. "but don't be crying when you loose, sweetheart"

mark scoffs at that. "you're underestimating my ability right now, gorgeous." he says, poking his lips out in a seductive manner.

you laugh and he smiles.

you turn around for just a few seconds, yelling over to him words that are barely audible. “te veré al inicio de la línea,” (i'll see you at the starting lineyou say.

mark’s orange acura nsx is a perfect fit considering the late at night arrival they have been in. it’s his prized possession, obviously. he checks the side of his car, smirking to himself seeing the NOS lined up on the passenger seat. however, your white nissan gtr is a good contrast. no dent is seen on it, and the engines flare when you start it, earning an erupt from the spectators. fifteen thousand dollars are on the game, and you need that money.

you notice the flag-girl as one of the members of death angels. she wears a simple purple and black outfit: purple harem pants and a black bomber jacket, carefully showing her slightest laced bra. she looks good, there’s no denying it. and with that, she points at mark, starting his engines and giving a show for his car. then she points to you, and you’re wearing a smile on your face. your engines starting.

and time seems to stop when you hear words emit from her mouth. “go!”

mark and you immediately go and hit the accelerator at about the same time, so you two are neck and neck. you know your strategy, and mark knows his.

8 seconds left.

knowing this, mark uses his NOS, eating a prideful laugh and his back hitting the seat. but you have different plans. you wear a smug look, and let out a giggle. “the NOS he’s using will take a shorter time than it relatively should.” you think you yourself, and activate yours.

6 seconds left.

you fly back to your seat, seeing the crowd erupt in cheers. mark sees your white nissan catch up to him, and before he knows, you’re way ahead of him.

“shit!” he yells.

2 seconds.

and before he knows, you are at the finish line, turning your car around and creating a donut with it, earning praise from the crowd. marks ends up second, or last in this case. he gets out of the car with a scowl, and you make your way to him, with a smile on your face, and your hair is out of the ponytail you have been wearing.

“the NOS you used, doesn't take up as much time as normal NOS used. it was a bit too early,” you say, giving your hand out to him. he clicks his tongue, now slightly irritated to know the fact you're indeed right. marks gives you the money. “pass by the shop any time you want.”

“why would you want to help me anyways? we’re rivals now,” he cocks an eyebrow.

you sigh, when you are interrupted by the shouts of numerous spectators and blaring sirens.

“cops! cops!”

everything happens so fast. next thing you know, you are in the back of your car, hitting your foot on the accelerator and immediately rushing out of the area, keeping an eye out for cops in your view mirror. luckily, you don’t seem to spot many. but where you don’t look?

right in front of you.

bullets ricochet throughout the alley way, earning a slight flinch from you. you are scared. only a few times bullets have been in front of you. you quickly take out your silver handgun from out of your shirt, shooting at the cop, not enough to kill him, but it’s enough to get him to surrender.

“bullet proof vests don’t cover the legs, idiot,” you mumble, smirking ever so slightly. you turn a sharp left, going back to the place where you call home. a right. then left. another right. straight forward 2 miles, and there you are.

“ＳＵＨ　ＭＥＣＨＡＮＩＣＳ　ＡＮ��　ＭＡＮＵＦＡＣＴＵＲＩＮＧ” is written in bold letters. you love this place, you and your brother practically grow up there. you make your way inside, after swiftly parking your car into your garage. the shop is somewhat connected to the house from behind, so you make your way out of the garage, locking the door swiftly, and arriving with 2 familiar faces.

“you had no business ruining mark’s race!” johnny stands in front of you. he’s angry.

“forget about that!” jaehyun stares at johnny and then at you. “you just returned like two hours ago and the cops are after you already? can you be more careful?”

“ah, br- sorry, half-brother, jaehyun. i appreciate the concern and all, but i got this covered, you know?” you reply and look at your brother. “and please, if you really cared about mark you would have recommended him a new NOS. his sucks.”

jaehyun presses his lips together. “it’s true. i’ve been telling you about that for weeks.”

johnny rolls his eyes. “it’s not my fault. the kid won’t change them.”

“well, then you should find a new guy because you won’t make much money with him.” you say and you take out your money. “and me? i am back, baby.”

jaehyun smirks. “then i guess beers are on you.”

“you guess right.”

(...)

mark rushes off in his car, having donghyuck joining him. he locks his gun, having his fingers on the trigger for any given moment. mark sighs out a stuttered breath, immediately hitting the accelerator and rushing out of the way. he has another tank full of NOS, that donghyuck simply swaps out, for mark to use at any moment.

“jeno and yves have made it back alright,” donghyuck tells him, while mark drives at an inhumane pace.

mark nods and takes the exit 12, driving to glendale. and after almost 25 minutes, they arrive at their warehouse. he parks his car next to jeno’s and they make their way inside.

“dude! that was fucking awesome!” jeno approaches him. “now i understand why the streets wouldn't shut up about her.”

yves rolls his eyes. “it was just lucky. she’s not that good.”

“then you wouldn't mind racing against her,” donghyuck hums.

“please, she’s nothing to me,” yves smirks.

“she got you mad,” mark walks to the kitchen. “she is something to you.”

“anyway,” jeno locks the door. “who sent those policemen? it’s weird, we have been using the same location for months,” jeno asks.

“someone was there. someone who’s purpose wasn’t to spectate or race, but to infliritrate,” mark sighs, adjusting his belt from his jeans.

“i’m wondering if suh is single,” donghyuck sits, ignoring the talk his friends are having.

“johnny or y/n?” mark mocks him.

“she doesn’t date,” yves sits next to him. “or that’s what i’ve heard.”

“since when you’re a fan of gossip?” jeno frowns.

“you don’t need to gossip, everyone talks about her and her tragic love life,” yves shrugs.

“so she wasn’t in jail?” donghyuck inquiries.

“i already told you she wasn’t in jail, smartass,” mark tosses him a beer.

“then where was she?” jeno sits in front of donghyuck.

yves slides a little on the couch. “you ever heard about nakamoto yuta?”

the three men shake their heads. yves rolls her eyes. “he used to work for the korean mafia and the yakuza doing what? i don’t know, but he was well known before we arrived here.”

“and what happened to him?” jeno asks.

“he messed with the wrong people, and he paid for his mistakes,” yves says. “they got him and killed him.”

“and how is he related to y/n?” mark rubs his chin with his index finger.

“they were together,” yves pulls out a box of cigarettes. “and days after his murder, she went away.”

jeno grimaces. “i would’ve done the same. it’s sad.”

“well, he’s dead and we can’t do shit to help her,” donghyuck stretches out his arms. “she’s hot.”

“dude,” jeno chuckles. “we were just talking about his dead boyfriend and you’re saying she’s hot?”

“donghyuck only uses his lower head,” yves mocks. “why are you even surprised?”

mark laughs and donghyuck rolls his eyes. “i’m gonna race against her again.”

“dude, you want to lose again?” jeno stares at him.

mark frowns. “a little bit of support?”

(...)

a few days later, you are working at your peace in call, the mechanic shop. you work with jungwoo, jaehyun, and johnny. jaehyun is an incredibly talented racer, that’s for sure, he was the one who taught you everything you know. johnny and jaehyun are practically always together.

they have been friends since high school, and he’s close with you as well, despite you going to a different school.

so, there you are currently stocking up the shelves and displays with certain kinds of replacements and NOS, to whoever needs them. you wear leather pants, along with a white turtleneck shirt. your hair is down.

“do you have everything locked? storage room too, jungwoo?” you ask the blond.

“yep! johnny is currently working on the new car by the way. he said the client wanted something old school, and because of this, he got inspiration from somewhere,” he informs.

you raise an eyebrow, handing jungwoo the remaining products form the shelves, and making your way inside the shop. you see a black haired man glancing at the shelves with NOS.

you approach him. “hi, welcome. can i help you?”

the man turns and he smiles at you.

mark lee.

you stop the urge of rolling your eyes. “and we see each other.”

“you told me i could pass by whenever i wanted to,” he shrugs. “

“that was me being nice because i beat you,” you smirk.

mark grins. “then i suppose i should go to the Fascinare’s shop? i heard they’re nicer.”

if you and johnny didn’t hate the Facinare you probably would’ve told him to go, but since they are your competition you couldn't afford losing a customer.

you sigh. “of course we can help you.” you fake a smile.

“that’s what i thought,” mark says. “how many days will it take?”

you take a look at his car. “up to 1 to 3 days.”

he nods. “fantastic. i’ll be looking forward to racing against you again then.”

you scoff, crossing your arms on your chest. “i can give your car all the NOS in this world and yet, you won’t beat me.”

“you were just lucky the other night, gorgeous,” he winks at you.

“maybe if you focus on racing instead of flirting you might beat me,” you grin.

mark chuckles and nods. “right. i’ll leave you my phone so you can give me a call when my baby is ready.”

“my god,” you hum. “be right back.”

you go behind the counter and grab a small notebook and a pen. you hand it to mark and write his number down. “i’ll be looking forward for that call.”

“hopefully it won't be me making it,” you smile falsely.

“alright. see you then,” marks says, exiting the shop. “don’t miss me much, gorgeous.”

you roll your eyes again, and smile lowering your head. 

you then frown and shake your head.
