"SOHYUN UNNIE! YOU NEVER TOLD US YOUR BROTHER DROVE RACE CARS!!!"

Yeonji's loud voice cut through the relative silence of the Cookie Haus, as the older girl stepped past the threshold of the dorm, piercing a few eardrums while doing so, namely that of Kim Yooyeon, who was sitting next to Yeonji.

"Yeonji! Keep it down! And It was my idea to keep him out of the limelight!" Sohyun replied the high school senior, taking off her shoes. "We only recently decided that we would reveal it to the world, and besides, he's rarely in Korea," She shrugged, "He's either in England or Italy most of the time with our dad."

"Oh yeah, I forgot your dad runs a trade company," Seoyeon said out loud.

All the members of TripleS were situated in the Cookie Haus, but, unusually, they were all silent, even the ever-talkative Soomin was quietly scrolling on her phone.

"Wah...Sohyun unnie, your brother's racing record is quite extensive... Italian Formula 4 second place in 2019, FIA Formula 3 second place in 2020, FIA Formula 2 second place in 2021, points on debut as Formula 1 reserve driver in 2023, and 4th place finish as reserve driver this year in Mexico... wow!"

"Why have you never introduced him to us unnie?" asked Chaewon, who was looking over Soomin's shoulder, "he's bound to have been in Korea when we were free, right?"

"He actually hasn't been back in a while," Sohyun remarked, "he's busy with all the race prep and testing as a test driver for the two teams, the only time he's been back we were all working on our comeback, and when the Korean Grand Prix was happening last year and this year."

"Do you think we'll get to see him next year then? I saw online that there are two races scheduled in Korea!" Xinyu excitedly asked.

"It's possible, but I can't make any guarantees."

"Do you think our company will try to become a sponsor for your brother? Just like how SM and ADOR did for Yu Jiho?" Kotone asked as she swatted Chaeyeon's hand away from her snacks.

"I hate to say this, but what makes driving fast cars around what's basically an elongated circle cool?"

All the girls looked at Yooyeon like she was crazy.

"Yooyeon unnie, your 'T' side is showing...." Jiwoo remarked as she observed the raised eyebrows of the members who watched the sport.

"I'm just saying what I see," Yooyeon replied, looking around at the weird looks she was receiving.

"I so need to bring you to watch a race soon... there's a lot more than just driving around in an elongated circle'..." Sohyun muttered to herself.

"YAH!"

Holding his phone at arm's length, Y/N Park winced at the loud shout from his older sister.

"What noona? I thought I apologized for not telling you I got the seat at Red Bull?"

"I thought I would be told at the same time you told Omma and Appa, but NO!!! I had to wait an extra day to get the information, and that's from social media?!"

"I'm sorry?" Y/N offered meekly.

"Not cutting it," Sohyun answered, bluntly. "But in all seriousness, will you be back before the Yeongam race next year?"

"Probably not..." Y/N sighed as he scanned the calendar blue-tacked onto his apartment wall at Milton Keynes, "I'm going to start some media stuff with Red Bull soon, and testing with the RB22. The earliest I'll be back is right after the Australian Grand Prix...sorry..."

"Who says I'm missing you, I'm just waiting for Mr. Famous Driver to buy me a meal."

"Damn noona, that was cold!"

The two siblings then settled down into a comfortable silence, the older working on a new composition whist the younger took a seat on his balcony, watching the clouds drift across the horizon.

"You know, the girls are interested in meeting you," Sohyun said, breaking the silence, "since I've never mentioned you before, and that you're a big shot driver now."

"'Ha ha' to the big shot driver part, but it'll be nice to meet them too," Y/N replied, looking down at his screen to face his older sister, "this might sound strange and a bit selfish of me, but do you think Modhaus will pull an SM and ADOR and become a sponsor for me?"

"It's not that farfetched," Sohyun began, "I can put in a good word for you, but I can't guarantee anything. Knowing our CEO though, he might be thinking about it already."

"Thanks, I appreciate it noona," Y/N said, a genuine small smile on his face, mirrored by the older Park sibling, "I'm going to hit the gym now, I'll talk to you next time."

"Anything for my baby brother, now go, talk to you next time."

Taking off her headphones, Sohyun heard the sound of knocking at her door.

"Come in!"

"Sohyun unnie!" The voice of an over-hyper Soomin sounded as the young girl launched herself onto the older girl's bed.

"Sohyun unnie," the voice of Yubin drifted into the room, with the owner of said voice standing at the doorway, "I was wondering-"

"Yubin unnie was wondering if your brother has a private Instagram that we could follow!"

"Soomin!" Yubin's cheeks turned red as she shot a look at the younger member.

"It's ok yubin," Sohyun spoke up, smiling at her, "I'm going to send his username to the group chat so everyone can follow him, if they want to."
