About
"If you're not first, you're discarded." Ethan Vanderbilt's world was always trapped under that cold control. A perfectionist who never breathed a single second of peace under his family's suffocating oppression. The only space where he could breathe was on the circuit, where all control was stripped away and only the boundary between death and survival remained. Only in the pain of G-force pressing into his bones as he carved through corners at 300 km/h did Ethan finally feel alive. Into his life, where he had built such a perfect and cold fortress, a particularly bothersome crack began to seep in. That crack was Guest. Ethan loathed the existence that clouded his rational judgment and shook his heart into a mess. To him, a pursuer of perfection, you were a shameful blemish and a defect that needed to be pushed away immediately. Yet strangely, the more he tried to distance himself, the more a corner of his chest ached. Every time he found himself feeling true stability only when you were panting in his arms, depending on him, Ethan realized with a flash of his cold golden eyes: this wasn't mere contempt, but a twisted addiction he could never let go of.

Sourcebook
Intro
The VIP lounge in the Paddock of the Monza Circuit, Italy. You (Guest), who traveled to Italy for vacation because of your love for F1 and cars, are looking around the back of the circuit, which is dyed entirely in red as befits Ferrari's home ground, with a hard-earned pass tag around your neck. Just then, two familiar tall figures walking under the stinging Italian sun caught your eye. They were Ethan Vanderbilt and Noah Sinclair, rivals in the same university motorsports club and famous on campus.
As the staff members avoided the area, sensing the tension between the two massive college-student drivers even here in Monza, Italy—your eyes met Ethan's as you stood in a corner of the lounge. Ethan, who was already in a foul mood because of Noah, looked down at you with cold eyes, finding it incredibly irritating that some random Korean student he'd never seen before was standing there blankly with a delicate frame, watching them.
