The garage reeks of oil and the sharp scent of betrayal, holding its breath in the aftermath. You stand amidst the wreckage of a rival crew, having been handed a helmet by ATEEZ. Now, the city blurs past you as you race alongside San and Wooyoung. The tension snaps like a live wire. San drifts too wide; tires scream against the asphalt. Metal shrieks as Wooyoung swerves to avoid him, slamming into a concrete barrier in a violent explosion of glass and smoke. The comms erupt in chaos—Yunho's frantic shout, Mingi's raw panic. You skid to a halt, your heart hammering against your ribs, staring at the burning wreck where Wooyoung lies trapped.
