RULES
- You are not required to have a Dreamwidth account to participate. There are no signups necessary. You may post anonymously if you want.
- There will be 3 rounds of this fest, and 1 round will be opened each week of the fest. Rounds will be left open for fills and comments, so there is no deadline for participating.
- Prompts do not have to be claimed before you write them, and they can be filled by more than one person.

- There is no minimum or maximum word count for fills. In the spirit of the fest, we encourage you to write shorter works, but any length is welcome and appreciated!
- Users are allowed to crosspost their fic on any other site, such as AO3. However, we ask that when possible, writers post the text of their fills as a reply to the prompt and include a link to an AO3 post if they choose to do so, instead of just linking to an AO3 post in their comment. This helps keep discussion in our community!

“I’m so sorry I’m late,” Wonyoung tells Jiheon when she arrives to the cafe, like she hadn’t texted Jiheon five hours ago that her flight would be delayed.
Jiheon had read the text, reacted with a thumbs up, and still went to the cafe at the formerly designated time that they had agreed on. She’d ordered a pastry, which had long been eaten, the plate already taken away.
“It’s fine,” Jiheon says, nursing her cup of now-lukewarm coffee. “I just got here and ordered something. It’s a shame that you can’t control the weather though.”
Wonyoung juts her glossy lower lip out in a pout. “If only,” she says. She lifts a menu with one perfectly manicured hand to scan the items.
Jiheon studies her expression as Wonyoung studies the menu. The girl from karting with the gangly limbs and too-big eyes has disappeared; she’s grown into her height and features, the sheen of celebrity suiting her well.
The waiter stops by their table, and Wonyoung gives him a disarming smile as she orders an iced americano.
“So,” Wonyoung says after the waiter has left, “how was your vacation?”
Jiheon musters up a smile. “Singapore was good. I miss the weather already.” She sighs. “It’s certainly a lot nicer when I’m not overheating in the car.”
Wonyoung’s expression stiffens.
Jiheon takes pity on her and launches into a story about her brother trying to learn padel. “I feel like we should organize a game with Dayeon and Youngeun when they’re back in Seoul,” she says.
Wonyoung brings a hand up to her mouth to cover her laughter. “You’re only saying that because you think we can beat them.”
“You don’t have faith in me?” Jiheon asks. “If Youngeun actually used the padel lessons that I gifted her, I think they might have a chance. Anyways, what have you been doing over break?”
Sometime after Jiheon had lost her seat and Wonyoung—Starship promotion evident—had pitched Jiheon to her team, Jiheon had stopped talking about her races with Wonyoung.
She doesn’t like to think about that year. Of course, she’d done what HYBE had asked her to, logging hours in the sim and helping coach Wonhee, in the hopes that her agreeableness might lead her back to a seat.
She could’ve been another temporary face on the grid, there for only a handful of seasons (Luckier than most, she reminds herself), leaving behind a stack of discounted merch items and the odd old trading card pull, forgotten in five years except to be briefly discussed on forum posts about lost potential.
After she had signed her contract with Stone Racing, Jiheon had agonized over how to write a thank you letter to Wonyoung. She had carefully crafted her message, intent on communicating the magnitude of what Wonyoung had done for her. Jiheon had sent the text with shaking hands.
Of course, Wonyoung had written in response.
When Jiheon had walked out on the tarmac during pre-season testing for the group photo, Wonyoung had smiled and waved at her, at ease in her new colors. Standing there in her sleek black race suit and curled hair, she was no longer just an athlete, but also a symbol of the sport.
The change shouldn’t have been so surprising; in that year apart, Jiheon had watched Wonyoung become a GPDA director and brand ambassador.
Still, as Jiheon had raised her arm to wave back, she’d been unable to shake the feeling that Wonyoung had ran so far ahead that she was now untouchable.
“Have you seen Sunghoon recently?” Wonyoung asks. She’d introduced the two of them last year, first pestering Jiheon to go on a date with him and later pestering her for details. Jiheon had agreed if only because it had been strange but not unwelcome for Wonyoung to be so invested in her life.
“No,” Jiheon says. “It’s been too busy to plan anything.”
“Will you be going to Worlds?”
Jiheon shrugs. “I’ll try to attend.” She doesn’t know if she’ll add it to her schedule. The mere thought of flying out to Boston and then returning to Japan and readjusting to the time zone difference tires her.
Wonyoung frowns at her.
“It’s okay,” Jiheon says, “you shouldn’t be worrying about me. We know how dating as athletes works.”
“I want you guys to work out though,” Wonyoung says. “You deserve to be happy.”
What makes you think I’m not, Jiheon wants to ask, but she bites her tongue.
“If you want to talk about my happiness,” Jiheon says, “then let’s hope I have fewer crashes this year.”
Wonyoung purses her lips. “Unnie,” she says disapprovingly, trying to stifle her laughter.
“I know the car was bad your first year, but last year’s car was ridiculous.”
Jiheon doesn’t talk about her races with Wonyoung anymore, but she can stick to jokes about how terrible the car is, which allows Wonyoung to commiserate about her own time at Stone instead of hesitating and then discussing her own race results.
Wonyoung has no such hesitations when discussing her disappointment in post-race interviews, but she must feel awkward complaining about P3 after Jiheon’s had her third DNF of the season.
Jiheon tries to pretend that the absence doesn’t matter. She had her chance in a fast car, and she fucked it.
“This season should be good though,” Jiheon says. “I’m excited to have Jiwon-ssi as a teammate. How about you? How’s working with Hyunseo been?”
The media is heralding Lee Hyunseo as the next An Yujin, although Hyunseo’s claws aren’t sharpened yet. Jiheon wants to ask Wonyoung if it’s tiring fending off monsters, first Chu Sojung and now Lee Hyunseo. Monsters? Wonyoung would say now. I think you mean mentors and mentees.
Wonyoung’s lips part as if to speak, but she only reaches for her glass to take a dainty sip of her iced americano, careful not to leave a lipstick stain on the straw.
“Hyunseo’s a good kid,” Wonyoung says. “I don’t have to worry about her.”
She nudges Jiheon’s coffee forward. “You should finish your drink before it gets cold.”
Re: Cyane
padel partners!! wonyoung GPDA director (she 100% would be)!! jiheon getting alex-ed out of hybe!! (i say alex because i'm a #galex fan and wonyoung here is sort of a george [fending off exy/lewis and now hyunseo/kimi, shared time at stone = commiserating about williams] but really bjh is just another victim of the red bull/hybe industrial complex T_T) and wonyoung introducing jiheon and sunghoon out of a desire to see jiheon be happy but remaining so present and central in that (and most every) part of jiheon's life...makes you wonder what/who wonyoung desires in her pursuit of happiness...
op i'm buying you whatever drink and treat you want at a cafe of your choice. thank you for furthering the wonyoung/jiheon agenda 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Re: Cyane
the galex narrative is here and very present!! stone music entertainment as williams racing made a lot of sense to me since both iz*one and fromis_9 were under stone music for a time, and so did having hybe & belift lab as red bull & toro rosso/alphatauri/vcarb/racing bulls. also, fromis_9 and iz*one both debuting in 2018... george and alex being f1 rookies in 2019...
and then beyond that, i thought that fromis_9’s hiatuses felt akin to alex’s year away from f1, and that wonyoung p1 on pd48 was similar to george winning f2 and f3 (also very fun that wonyoung is a tommy jeans ambassador and george became a tommy hilfiger ambassador). also, i’ve been thinking about how polished/corporate george can appear, and the process of transformation that that entails, and i think jiheon witnessing wonyoung undergo that transformation is interesting!!
wonyoung remaining so present and central in jiheon’s life despite them now no longer really competing with each other on the track... wonyoung saying that she’s not worried about leeseo but not saying what she actually thinks about having her as a teammate, and then immediately gesturing to jiheon to finish her coffee before it gets cold... yeah. yeah.
thank you so much for the comment and for opening my eyes to the wonyoung/jiheon agenda in the first place!!!!!
