Hidden Chapter: Hennessey

"Pauper, you have to be careful. If Mom knew that you are sneaking out every night to race- I don't know what will happen." Reese told me while putting some isopropyl alcohol on my scratches. I had a terrible crash from my last race. Even though I know that winning the race against a Mythic 1 is impossible, I still wanted to do it.

"She won't even notice." I said, making her release a heavy sigh.

"I'm serious, Pauper. Maybe I should tell Mom myself?" She said, raising her eyebrows.

"No, Princess. Come on, these are just scratches. I'm tougher than you think." I said and smiled. I even gave her my puppy eyes, blinking repeatedly with my hands cupping my face. She narrowed her eyes on me and just scoffed.

"Aigoo. I just can't understand why you keep on obsessing to win races for that Dodge Viper." She said and continued to put ointments on my bruised skin too.

I pouted and just shrugged. "I think - I think he likes me though. But I am not really sure." I noticed her look at me while putting some Band-Aids on me. "I like him. Like a lot." I said again and smiled. "He pats my head every time I win a race and a car for the gang. And he looks gorgeous when he smiles at me."

"You really like him." Reese said, making me instantly burn my cheeks. She giggled when she noticed it. "Didn't you kiss him on that night you decided to join his gang?"

I covered my face with my hands. "Reese! Don't make me remember!" I squealed and drop myself on the bed. "He was teasing me so bad and I hate how he looks at me like a kid. Those chick flick movies we watched taught me a lot how to kiss but it's totally different if you get to kiss a real person and not just the back of your hand!"

Reese giggled again, covering her lips with her hand. "You're blushing, my goodness!"

"Gosh, it's really hot in here, don't you think?" I said while fanning my hands on my face. She just continued giggling there and I smiled watching her. "Would you like to go up the roof? I bought some sparklers. You'll love them!"

Reese's gorgeous smile widened.

Before we climb up our roof, I made sure to keep her warm with my huge black hoodie jacket. She doesn't really have a lot of clothes because she doesn't really need them anyway. She is so used to these pajamas that comes handy when she comes down to our basement for some tests she needed to go through. I don't mind her using my clothes but for some reason, she prefers dresses. She has been watching too much movies from the early 70s and she loved how women dresses in that era.

Oof, I am not a fan of dresses. They're annoying and feels itchy all over my body.

Mom gets to buy her a lot of those dresses that she cannot even wear. She is stuck in this house and if only we can celebrate our birthday tonight in a better way than just getting up in our roof, I would do it. I could even drive her around Seoul for her to see how beautiful this city is right before her eyes. I would love to bring her to the Han River and just eat some hot ramyeon and kimchi. I would even make her drink beer and make her drunk. I'm pretty sure she'll be a talkative Princess if that happens.

I just want her to be happy because she deserves it. I hate seeing her whimper in pain and just curl herself in a ball over that hospital bed every time they test these medicines on her. It's horrifying to watch her against the glass window and the worst part is I cannot do anything about it but to feel helpless.

I climbed up the roof and helped Reese to get up too. We walked silently to our usual spot. The lighted Seoul is really gorgeous. I don't really pay attention to it but because Reese loves it so much, I ended up liking it too. That smile painted on her lips will always save me. I wanted to run away from this house because I feel like Mom never loved me and it just pains my entire being. I would really love to hear Mom's gentle voice too whenever she talks to Reese when she talks to me- apparently, that wouldn't be possible. I always end up raising my voice at her because of how I just ruin everything.
