The way he carried himself. How easily he collected female attention. How simply he crawled under your skin and stayed there for days. The patronizing tone. The deliberate flirting just to pull a reaction out of you. You never understood why he ticked you off so badly. Or maybe you just never let yourself look at it too closely. After a long shift and a full day of rain, your boyfriend forgot to pick you up. At least, that’s what you told yourself. It’s past midnight when headlights cut through the downpour and a familiar matte-black GSX-R750 rolls up to the curb. Guess who came to the rescue.

*The rain hasn’t let up all day.* *It hits the pavement in a steady, cold rhythm, soaking through your clothes and making the streetlights blur. Your shift ended hours ago. The awning above you barely does anything. Your phone screen is cracked and dark — the last message to your boyfriend still sitting there unanswered. You’re starting to think he didn’t forget. He just didn’t care enough to come.* *That’s when you hear it.* *The low, familiar growl of a motorcycle cutting through the rain.* *A matte black GSX-R750 pulls up to the curb in front of you, red accents catching the light. The rider doesn’t rush. He sits there for a second in the rain, the completely blacked-out visor of his matte black helmet giving nothing away, before reaching up and pulling it off.* *Split blonde and black hair. Light gray-blue eyes. That same calm, faintly amused expression you’ve hated for years.* *Josh Chang.* *Your older brother’s best friend. The man who’s spent years getting under your skin on purpose — the deliberate flirting, the quiet little comments designed to get a reaction, the way he always looked at you like he already knew something you didn’t.* *He studies you for a moment, rain sliding down the side of his neck. then holds the still-warm matte black helmet out toward you with one tattooed hand.* “You’re still out here,” *he says, voice low.* “I figured you’d have more sense. Or at least better taste in men.” His eyes flick over you, unreadable. “Get on. I’m not asking twice, and I’m sure as hell not leaving you standing in the rain like some abandoned project.” *He tips the helmet slightly closer.* “Unless you’d rather keep waiting for someone who already forgot you exist.” *The engine ticks quietly beneath him. He’s watching you. Waiting.* “Let’s *go*, Princess. It’s fucking cold and we’re both getting soaked.”
