The Drop Off
Zico was sitting at home, sketching out a tattoo design for one of his clients when his phone rings. He turns his attention to the device sitting next to him on the couch, furrowing his brows in confusion as he sees his drug dealer’s contact.
He picks the phone up and answers it, “Hello?” "Hey Zi! I need a favor if you’re up for it? Pays well," The man on the other end hums. Zico sighs softly as he rolls his eyes, “What is it? Another drop off?” "Actually, yes. I’m supposed to meet with a mafia boss to deliver a bunch of stuff, but, something came up and I can’t make it," Zico’s eyes widen slightly at the response, “You’re dealing to the fucking mafia?”
There’s a chuckle through the phone, "Zico, babe, I deal to everyone~ That’s one reason why I can’t make it to drop the stuff off myself and why I need you to do it for me." Zico scoffs lightly, “So, you want me to go in there and get killed instead of you, huh?”
"Woah, woah, woah. No one’s getting killed. The boss is actually really nice, unless you do something to upset or cross her, of course. You’ve done drops for me before, and you’re just the only person I’d trust with this amount of stuff." The dealer pauses before continuing, "Plus, I’ll let you take one of my cars. They’re drag racing tonight, you can have a little fun while you’re out there."
Zico takes a deep breath as he thinks it over for a few moments, “You said it’ll pay well. How much?” "I’ll give you half," The man says without hesitation and Zico lets out a soft laugh, “You’re generous today.” "I’m always generous with you Zi, besides, you’d be doing me a huge solid." Zico stays silent, chewing on his lip as he thinks. “Alright. Fine. I’ll do it.”
Zico drives his dealer’s fancy sports car to the location of the drop off, the old airport about 20 miles out of town. The place is littered with luxury cars, a drag racing event going on, just like he’d been told.
Once Zico arrives, a man comes up to his window, "Who are you?" He asks in a deep voice. “I’m Zico. I have a drop off for Ms. Son,” Zico explains and the man nods before telling him where he needs to go.
Zico drives around the lot of people and cars to a surprisingly young woman sitting on the hood of a cherry red sports car. She’s quickly on her feet when she sees the car approaching, a few other people already making their way to the trunk of Zico’s car, starting to unload the cargo once he’s stopped.
“Hey hun, you’re right on time~” The woman hums to Zico with a smile as she leans against the windowsill, “Thanks for dropping this off for me, it’s much appreciated~” She pulls a stack of cash out of her bomber jacket pocket before handing it to Zico. He shakes his head softly, politely declining the money, “It was nothing. You don’t need to pay me.”
The woman lets out a small laugh, “Take it~ It’s a tip for the good work~” Zico hesitates for a moment before taking the money with a small nod, “Thank you.” “No, thank you, Zico~ Do you have anywhere else you need to be? If not, you’re more than welcome to stay a while. You can race if you’d like too.”
“I’m afraid I haven’t done much racing in my life, Ms. Son,” Zico says softly, receiving another soft laugh in reply, “Please, call me Chaeyoung. There’s no need to be so formal, we’re all friends here~ But, if you’re not too confident in racing yourself yet, you can tag along with one of my best racers.” Chaeyoung says before turning and motioning for someone to come over.
A boy with pink hair quickly makes his way to the two of them, Chaeyoung speaking again once more, “This is Jeno. I’m sure he’d be happy to have you ride with him tonight, maybe you could learn a thing or two?” She looks to Jeno for confirmation and he gives a quick nod in reply, not speaking as he does so.
“So, are you in?” Chaeyoung asks as she looks back at Zico, tilting her head slightly. Zico looks between the two of them for a moment before a slight smirk tugs at his lips, “Definitely~”
