wow :( mingyu was a great choice for this storyline; i think he really embodies the right combination of confidence and self-doubt that allows him to keep going despite the results trending in the wrong direction. "Your overthinking makes your driving inconsistent and volatile" is so easy to imagine as a physical representation of those emotions. i thought it was really cute also that heeseung has the reactions that betray his youth ("Heeseung looks like he’s about to cry. Mingyu would have made fun of Heeseung in his head if the same thing didn’t happen to him.") cause of how that feeds into mingyu's frustrations even more. i think the age-old story of being worse at what you do than the people younger than you is so good and resonates even more as i get older haha. and wonwoo being there through it all, somewhat awkwardly but fulfilling his role without really being able to help mingyu get over it all is so real. thank you for filling my prompt! :D
