[ BFAM: Bruh no one at home. I'm leaving if you don't want the car then ]
After half an hour of a workout session, Jeremy received a text on his phone and he smirked in amusement, typing back.
[ You: Come to gym ]
[ BFAM: Gym? With you? That sounds gay. ]
Jeremy scoffed at the reply and left it on read, there was no point in continuing to bicker with this dumbass. He will come here anyway.
As expected, after 10 minutes, a handsome man strode into the gym with an annoyed look on his face, he was quite attractive and clean-shaved, his eyes small and double lids, signifying his identity as an Asian.
Jeremy stared at him, his height was a little shorter than Jeremy's, about 5'10 while Jeremy stood tall at 6'1. But his body was leaner, giving him a V shape physique that every guy dreamt of.
Jeremy smirked as the man glared at him.
"I had to end it faster due to your pestering." The man grumbled.
"You had to or you just released faster?" Jeremy gave a toothy grin and his friend glared, getting an urge to punch the tooth down his throat. But he restrained.
"What's the important job? We have a shoot in 3 days." He sighed.
"Nothing much, I will be back for the shoot." Jeremy replied, and as he thought of the reason, he suddenly added, "…Family issues."
He wasn't sure whether that faceless person in his dreams was a family or not, but somewhere deep in his heart, he felt like that person was the closest to the family Jeremy had ever had.
"…" The man looked into Jeremy's eyes and only found sincerity in his eyes, so he swallowed his snarky remarks and nodded, "Take it."
He extended his hand and handed the keys to his car.
"Well obviously, that's what I called you here for." Jeremy scoffed and snatched the key before his buddy changed his mind.
"Tsk." He grumbled and then remembered something, taking a card out of his pocket he showed it to Jeremy, "My secretary got it made. How's it?"
'Lin Feng… huh?' Jeremy chuckled when he read the name and nodded, "Decent."
"What decent, bastard, it cost 300$!" Feng raged.
"Skill issues, anyway thanks bud." Jeremy thanked him genuinely and shook Feng's hand.
"Yea yea," Feng smiled slightly and gave a friendly hug, "I'll go then. Tell me if you need my help, I have some friends in NYC."
Jeremy nodded and inserted his AirPods into his ear, going back to his dumbbells to continue his workout.
Feng scoffed dryly, leaving the gym and his friend all alone.
'Finally.' Jeremy cocked his head towards the entrance to the gym and saw that the gym was currently all empty. He then glanced at the car keys in his hands.
'Here I come, New York.' Jeremy changed into a bit more comfortable clothes as he walked towards the parking in his building. He had no clue which car was Feng's but he couldn't have asked either as it would have been weird.
Johnson naturally knew all about Feng's car, so asking him about the car would have been suspicious.
Thus Jeremy opted for a different approach, which was quite simple. He kept spamming the unlock button in his car keys and looked for the sound made by the car.
*Beep Beep*
After just a few minutes of walking around the parking area, Jeremy found a sleek black coloured Mercedes parked. It was a sedan and quite a classy car, something Jeremy prefered more than the bulky SUVs.
He entered the car and tapped around the interface on the tablet connected to the dashboard on the car, trying to input the location.
"Ugh living in such weird world's I forgot how to use this shit. Aria I miss you!" Jeremy cursed as he watched the map buffer and show his location.
How easy was to tell Aria to simply give the directions!
Finally the location was set and Jeremy turned on the Air conditioners, pressing the start button to start the car.
'Gears…' Jeremy smiled slightly seeing the gearstick and the manual drivemode of the car. How much he missed it!
His wild driving skills from past resurfaced as he switched car to reverse and quickly pulled it out of the parking.
*Beep beep beep*
The car beeped telling him there was a car behind him, but due to the high pickup of the car, he forgot to press brake and ended up bumping the BMW parked opposite to his car.
"Uhm." Jeremy coughed, slightly embarassed, "You can bill the damages to Feng!"
He remarked before flicking the gear to 1st and driving away, leaving the BMW with a crooked numberplate.
But in his defence, he hasn't been in manual cars for so long that he forgot about the clutch.
***
It has been half hour since Jeremy started to drive and he could already hear the honks from other cars as he accelerated his car and wheezed it past them as if he was playing a GTA game.
But surprisingly he hadn't bumped into any other car except the BMW in his building.
[ Incoming call- BFAM ]
Suddenly his phone began to ring and Jeremy pressed the pickup button from his steering wheel.
"YOU BASTARD YOU CRASHED MY CAR INTO BASTI'S CAR!" Feng instantly screamed when Jeremy picked it up.
"I didn't."
"YOU FUCKER, HE SENT ME THE CCTV FOOTAGE!" Feng said angrily, "He is asking 5k for repairs!"
"You're rich, you can handle it. No need to call daddy for little things, son." Jeremy replied coolly.
"YOU COME BACK HERE AND I WILL SHOW YOU WHO IS THE DAD!"
"Now that's what you call gay." Jeremy smirked as he flickered the upper and dipper lights, overtaking a pick-up truck on his way.
"Okay I'm driving, bye bye!" Jeremy hung up the phone before Feng complain more.
Bickering with him was slowly turning into his favourite passtime, though he does regret wasting Feng's 5k.
He should have bumped it harder.
