THE LITTLE BRAT'S SWEET AND SASSY
9
Jhope thought he heard it wrongly.
Make some money? The only way to make money in Xiaosong Hill was to be part of the race.
Jhope
“You’re joining the race?”
Jhope
(He noticed Jungkook slender and petite body. His lips twitched helplessly for a bit before he clicked his tongue)
“Little Jungkook, Xiaosong Hill is dangerous. Are you sure you want to go there?”
Even though both males , females and were allowed to participate, there were rarely any girls or boys there—especially an underaged one.
He looked at Taehyung.
Surprisingly, Taehyung’s answer defied his expectations.
Kim Taehyung
“You need money?”
Jungkook
(He counted in his head for a moment and said)
“Yeah, I have some debts to clear.”
Jhope was confused. He knew Jungkook’s background because he had done some research before this.
Previously, he lived together with his grandmother in Gyeonggi-do old slums. It was true that he had a tough life before this.
It was not surprising if he had some debts to pay off, but Xiaosong Hill?
The prize money for winning the race started from 500,000, and the price would go up from time to time. Just how much money did he need to pay off his debts?
Taehyung leaned against the seat, his eyes as abysmal as always. No one knew what was going on in his mind.
Hwang Hyunjin
(He smiled and said with a raised brow)
“Brother Jhope, this might be news to you, but it’s not Jungkook first time. he’s usually busy, so it’s actually difficult to get him up there.”
After what happened a year ago, he said he would never race again. For some reason, he suddenly decided to join the race this time around.
If not for him surprising decision, Hyunjin would not have driven his bike all the way to the school just to pick him up.
Jhope face twitched helplessly.
Hyunjin made it sound like the little boy was a pro in racing.
he came from a bitter background, so how would he have gotten himself involved in such a dangerous act?
Jhope
“Little Jungkook, are you sure you like doing this?”
Jungkook
(He explained)
“I used to work in an auto repair shop. The owner liked to race, so I followed him and picked up an interest in it as well. I’ve done it a few times now.”
Jhope was rendered speechless.
He did not know whether he should sympathize with him for coming out to work at such a young age to support her family or be surprised that he was quite talented in this.
Hwang Hyunjin
(He got excited about the topic.)
“The funny thing is, we met each other when I sent my bike for maintenance at his place back there —”
Honk!
Before he could finish, the car took a sharp turn and loud honks entered their ears.
Bright headlights welcomed them and almost blinded their eyes for a moment.
Hyunjin looked out the window.
Jhope
“We’re here.”
(He stopped the car.)
Hyunjin was the first to jump out.
The place was a large empty space with a dozen expensive cars lined up neatly together.
A group of young men and women were mingling with each other in beautiful suits and dresses. It was lively.
After Hyunjin came out, a young man with red hair and a leather jacket came over while sneering
Man
“Hey, look at this. Isn’t it Master Hwang Hyunjin? What’s wrong? Got so nervous that you can’t even drive? What’s with the driver?”
Hwang Hyunjin
(He stretched his body and his shoulders. He looked at the arrogant man.)
“Jiang Fan, open your damn eyes and look at whose car it is.”
The man took a better look at the car. It was a Bentley Mulsanne, a super expensive car.
However, the cars at Xiaosong Hill all belonged to the young and wealthy people of Busan and the neighboring states, so this Bentley Jhope drove was not the highlight at all.
However, when the man saw the license plate, his gaze froze. It somehow looked familiar.
It was then Jungkook came out from the car, and his presence silenced the lively crowd.
The boy was either 17 or 18 years old. he wore a white shirt coupled with black jeans and sports shoes. His semi-long black hair was tied into a ponytail.
His skin was as fair as porcelain, and his eyes were as clear as water. However, they were still dazzling.
he looked clean and astonishing.
Jiang Fan was in awe.
The boy was beautiful. Every feature of hers was outstanding, especially his cool presence. It was rare to see it on a boy.
It was just a glance, but it made the man’s heart itch.
Jiang Fan
“I thought Master Hwang always came alone. What’s with the company today? Something went wrong with your mind?”
Jiang Fan
“Hwang Hyunjin, the boy is still in high school, right? You’re the man!”
Unknown
“No wonder you don’t like the girls and boys we introduced you to. You’ve gotten yourself the best there is! Hey, introduce him to us!”
Hwang Hyunjin
(He went up and kicked the guys who tried to get close.)
“Calm your balls down, you bastards! he’s my youngest cousin, and if you guys lose to him later, don’t come crying!”
The crowd was astonished.
Jiang Fan
“What? The little boy is here to race?”
(He laughed. He pushed away the woman with heavy makeup and dressed in a revealing outfit.)
Jiang Fan
“Hey, boy, it’s not fun joining the race. Why don’t you get into my car instead? I’ll give you ten grand for a single lap. What do you say?”
The woman with the revealing outfit glared at Jungkook fiercely.
Jhope who was still in the car, had a feeling that the atmosphere would turn sour.
Jungkook finally spared a glance at Jiang Fan, but it was filled with sympathy. His gaze had an indescribable arrogance to it.
Jungkook
“That’s all you can offer?”
Hyunjin laughed out loud while Jiang Fan was embarrassed on the spot.
Jiang Fan
“You little bitch!”
Right before he could get close to Jungkook, the other two men came down from the car.
One of them looked familiar, and Jiang Fan recognized him.
Jiang Fan
“Jung Ho-seok?!”
(He was shocked)
The Jung family had an unrivaled status in Busan, and Busan was not even their main base. Jhope ’s family mostly operated in the capital, and Jiang Fan could not afford to get on their bad side.
All the wealthy young men who came for the race came from powerful backgrounds, but none of them could rival the Jung family.
Why would Jung Ho-seok be here?
Jhope leaned on his car, not even sparing a glance at Jiang Fan.
Jhope
“Little Jungkook, if someone is trying to bully you, just tell me.”
(His words silenced everyone there.)
Jiang Fan
(He forced a smile on his face)
“Master Jung, he’s… with you?”
Jhope dared not answer the question.
Taehyung took a step forward. He came out from the spot shrouded in shadows, and when the light shone over his body, it made his tall and fit physique stand out.
Black clean-cut hair, dark and deep eyes, tall nose, and a perfect sharp jawline. It was as though God had spent effort in carving his face. He looked cold, as though he was an angel beyond a mortal’s reach.
His appearance silenced the crowd even more.
Taehyung walked closer to Jungkook and then looked at Jiang Fan
Kim Taehyung
“What’s the highest prize money for tonight?”
Jiang Fan was a regular in Xiaosong Hill. He was known to be generous, and he actually hosted many of the races.
However, he got frightened by Kim Taehyung’s presence. When asked, he instinctively answered
Jiang Fan
“One… One million.”
Kim Taehyung
“Race with him. If you win, you get five million. What do you say?”
Jiang Fan widened his eyes. A short silence later, the crowd cheered loudly.
The prize money had gone up! Just one word from the man and the prize money went up to five million!
Exciting!
Jiang Fan’s temples were twitching.
How could he lose to a little boy? If he won, he would get five million!
Jungkook
(He frowned and looked at Taehyung .)
💭‘What’s wrong with this guy? Why is he putting his foot into this?’
Jungkook
“If I lose, I don’t have that much money to give you back.”
Kim Taehyung looked at him. He bent over so that they were eye to eye and looked at Jungkook.
Taehyung abysmal peach blossom eyes looked like they had the galaxy in them. They were lethally attractive.
He was so close that she could smell the cedar fragrance on him.
Kim Taehyung
He opened his thin lips and said lazily,
(“Hurry up with the race. You have to go back to finish your homework.”)
Taehyung was so close that Jungkook could see his reflection in his eyes.
His magnetic and charming voice entered her ears, as though a soft breeze was caressing her.
When he spotted him, the man’s unique warm presence enveloped him.
The atmosphere suddenly felt tense to Jungkook. he subtly took a few steps back and nodded.
Taehyung saw the Jungkook little movement and raised a brow. He stood straight and looked at Hyunjin.
Kim Taehyung
“Where’s his car?”
Hyunjin pointed at a red supercar. The car actually belonged to him, but Jungkook knew the car better than him.
he was the one who helped him repair the car and modified it for racing so that it had no problem sprinting on the tracks.
Kim Taehyung
(He signaled by moving his chin.) “Let’s go.”
Jungkook looked at him in surprise, but he was already walking toward that car.
Jhope
(He was shocked.)
“Erm, Second Master?”
The man only got better recently. He should not be inside a racing car, but before Jhope could stop him, he was already standing at the door.
He turned around to Jungkook. He did not say a word, but everyone knew what he meant.
He wanted to be inside the car with Jungkook during the race.
Hyunjin actually wanted to accompany Jungkook during the race, but judging from Kim Taehyung’s reaction, he should not. As such, he stood still on the spot.
Jungkook did not expect Taehyung to do this with him.
It seemed like the man trusted him a lot—a little too much, in fact. Would he not be worried about an accident or if she were to commit a mistake?
Xiaosong Hill’s roads were as curvy as a snake. There were a total of seven continuous curves, and even a veteran racer could not afford to be careless.
Even so, Taehyung wanted to be in the car.
Jhope
“Jungkook, you’d better be careful when you get behind the wheels,”
(he said as he walked over.)
Jhope
“The money is not important. The most important thing is your safety.”
(He sounded serious, which was rare for him.)
Jungkook looked at him, somehow feeling like the guy was much more nervous than before.
Maybe it was because Taehyung wanted to be in the car with him.
Taehyung was actually rehabilitating in Busan, but after running here and there, he had probably thrown his rehabilitation efforts down the drain.
Vrooom!
Two supercars were lined up side by side. The roars of the engines ignited the already lively crowd.
Whistles and screams surrounded the car, breaking the silence of the dark night.
Jungkook going up against Jiang Fan was already exciting enough, but now, Taehyung was in the passenger seat with Jungkook!
Compared to the excited crowd, Jungkook was rather calm. he skillfully checked the car before putting his hands on the steering
Kim Taehyung
(He fastened his seatbelt and asked with a lazy tone)
“How many races have you won before?”
The reason Jungkook started this was because of Jang Hyuk.
He had gotten into an accident under the influence, so the charges tainted Jungkook name as well.
When he was younger, he did not know what the charges meant. All he knew was that alcohol and cars took his parents away.
Before he knew it, he was paying attention to the cars on the street and would read magazines about cars. he would even drop by the repair shop once in a while.
The owner of the shop sympathized with his background, and since he was cute, he took good care of him and let him handle the wheels for some time.
As time flew by, Jungkook learned a little something.
Then, an opportunity came by. The owner realized he was good behind the wheels, so he recommended her for a part-time job.
The job involved modifying cars and repairing them at times. When he had a rough day, he would bring the car out for a spin.
he really had no interest in racing, it was just a game to him. Moreover, her grandmother found out about the incident that happened a year ago.
The woman had never scolded him or been angry with him, but that time, she got so angry that she broke down in tears.
Jungkook swore to never get behind the wheels anymore.
