Hey guys your author here. Sebastian Ogier just won a nine win record in Monte-Carlo, by far he is the most successful driver in Monte-Carlo. Close behind him is Kalle Rovanpera and Thierry Nueville. I wonder why Ótt Tanak moved to Ford when the Hyundai looks strong this year. But it's still a new car for Ford so their still trying to work on the setups and their reliability. Last time Ótt had to drive his Ford without power steering and a fifth gear. Then he was fifth overall in the standings. To me that's a warning that he can fight with a wounded car. What if he has no issues? He would be fighting at the front, there is still a lot to play for. Ótt will have his chance surely.
Let's go back to the story!
CHAEWON POV
That guy he just made me feel butterflies on my stomach. He is different from my first impression about him. First look I thought he is the kind of guy who is calm and peaceful but he is also funny. I like that guy. Y/N what are you doing to me? And he told me he likes me even though he doesn't mean it that way, it still counts right? Maybe I like him too, but he is going to Ulsan after the meeting. He is hardworking ang cute too. What ever let me practice now. I'll think of him later. Also I got his number so what's the rush.
"Chaewon-ah. What are you thinking about? Is it Y/N? Don't worry only you got his number, and don't worry about yunjin Y/N already said that he likes you so chill okay?" Sakura said.
Then the other started laughing and teasing me. I can't help but blush. I'll text Y/N later. For now let's break a leg.
Y/N pov
I feel asleep during the trip to Ulsan. It's just a few minutes from Seoul. I stepped out of the car and wow, this is a lot bigger than I expected. We entered the main hall and Wow.. Just wow, I wasn't expecting this. We got the Rally 1 i20 displayed here. I am just astounded by looks of this factory. We also got the trophies on the other side of the hall. Then I saw a robot but it was not working. A guide took us to the second floor and I saw the two cars that won me championships. I can't help but touch the hoods of these cars. Their naturally aspirated V6 engines that are capable of producing 600HP, then we got a 5-speed gearbox. These 2018-2019 car was the fastest era of rally cars.
How much I missed these cars was just unexplainable. We went inside the meeting room where the boss was waiting for us. We bowed in front of him to show respect and he instructed us to sit down.
"Well what do you guys think about the factory and the cars last year?" he asked.
"I think the factory looks great and astounding. We got so many people working here. Also about the cars last year, we are lacking in accelaration, power and aerodynamics. We need a bit more downforce, also the car livery looks great we need more rear wings." I said. Then the guys just agreed with me.
"Then the reliability of the gear transmission. We need to improve it to last for more than 10 rallies. It really hurts when we are missing a gear. But I have to say we're doing good with the setup and the issues we're facing." said Thierry.
"Also should we be able to make progress with new sponsors to endorse. HYBE will be shooting a video with you guys for commercial purposes." said Antonio.
"So what do we have to do now?" Asked Oliver.
" Let's try out the new fenders, the rearwings, and the new improved hybrid unit we have." said big boss.
"Okay that's settled for now sir. Let's give the guys a good rest since they weren't able to sleep for all the time in the flight. They should be pretty tired now. Tomorrow we will start the testing in the South Korea International Racing Circuit." said Antonio.
The big boss agreed and told the crew that we will be staying in a house and not a hotel. Well it was owned by the company so we don't have to pay anything.
We are currently inside the elevator when my phone made a sound. It was a notification that someone has text me. So I take a look to see who it was. It was Chaewon of course, so I put my phone back to my pocket......... Wait! That was Chaewon. I panicked and immediately opened the messages.
(conversation)
Chaewon🐯
Hey Y/N,... I'm just checking up to see what you are doing. I'm curious and I want to talk to you.
Y/n
Hey Chae. We're currently inside the elevator and we're about to got to our assigned quarters.
Chaewon🐯
Oh, your still inside the company, I mean the Hyundai factory. So what you're gonna do right after?
Y/N
Well... I'll just go to sleep probably. I'm pretty tired from all the traveling and I'm still not used to the time zone. But tomorrow we will test the updated car parts and the updated hybrid unit.
Chaewon 🐯
Okay... I don't really understand all the terms but I'm assuming that related to what your doing.
Y/N
Yes... Well we're about to go to the parking lot right now. We just got out of the elevator.
Chaewon🐯
Well I was hoping I can talk to you longer but manager-nim just called us. We're going home also and we're gonna buy some food with us.
Y/N
Well you guys be careful. I'll just talk to you later.
Chaewon🐯
Alright..... talk to you later.
I put my phone back to my pocket and I notice as I was the last to board the van. When I got in, I immediately went to sleep since I feel really tired for today.
We arrived at the house and it was not a simple house. First thing I did was go to the kitchen and looked at it. I must this is a large cooking space. Then we have the table just right beside across the stoves so I will be accessible. Cupboards are filled with what we need. Mostly these Korean noodles on which I have no idea how to cook. The fridge is filled with goods and many more. I can cook peacefully with this.
Then we get to choose our rooms. They told me to check the garage first but I told them I'll check it later. I went up the stairs. I chose the room farthest from the stairs. It somehow looks like an attic. Two small windows, a bathroom, simulators and damn it has the F1 game installed. Lastly I checked the clothes. All were my exact size. I felt quite comfy with all of these.
I took a bath then went to garage. I saw a Hyundai i20 road car which looks cool. There's two so I guess we could use it. Went back inside directly to the kitchen. I watched how to cook ramyeon then roasted some beef and made some fruit shakes for the 5 of us.
They went down, they were surprised to see what I prepared. We enjoyed a good dinner together and we decided to play a game to decide who washes the dishes. In the end Thierry was the one lucky guys to wash.
I went up to my room and decided to play the F1 2022 game. Then someone called me. I paused the game and answered it without looking who was calling.
"Hello?" I asked. "Hello Y/N... It's me." she said. Then a silly idea came to my mind. I remembered Adele's song. "I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet." I sang at the other end, then I started to laugh. "Nice one mister. I called you because I'm thinking that your still awake." she said.
"Well I just sat down at the simulator for an hour now. I decided to play for a bit. Also thank goodness you got the joke." I said still laughing a little.
THIRD PERSON POV
The two kept talking for a few minutes. The smile on each other's face were bright and light. It looked like they were the only one who was on the phone. Until Chaewon's door opened and she was caught talking to someone on the phone. The person just smiled looking at her. Finally she was smiling because of someone.
It was all fun and happy until Y/N decided to cut the conversation short. He was tired as hell and he knows he'll be sleeping for a few hours more. They bid each other goodbye and finally called it a day. Both smiling while putting the phone down. It's amazing haw two people not knowing each other could talk comfortably with one another.
Hey guys Author here.! I'm sorry for a long delay and a short chapter. I've recently entered the Reserve Officer Training Corps of the Philippine Army. It was an amazing and stressful experience. Learning about history, teamwork, and a bunch of confidential information about the organization was absolutely fun.
By the way guys Rally Sweden is ongoing. Watch the best drivers drive their car on a high level through snow and ice. I'm rooting for Ótt Tanak to win rally Sweden if he doesn't win a podium would be nice. Also Esappeka Lappi is looking good I hope to see him on the podium.
Stay tuned for the other chapters guys. I won't be updating for a couple of weeks or but I'll make sure to update before March.
See ya!
