“There are times when you don’t even know if you are tired.”

“Well… is it?”

At Kang Tae-han’s words, Yoo Se-ah tilted her head with a slightly puzzled expression.

To be honest, that was the part I didn’t know. It is true that most overseas schedules are tight and difficult, but this filming was carried out with the best treatment thanks to the cruise despite the poor environment.

‘To the extent that I came back literally gaining weight… … .’

Rather than saying it was difficult, it is safe to say that I went on a cruise vacation just to film.

Of course, it cannot be said that there is no trace of fatigue from the trip, but it was not at a level that would cause a problem.

“Then let me ask you a favor.”

Hana Yoo Se-ah nodded obediently and leaned her back towards Kang Tae-han. It’s his own body, but isn’t Kang Tae-han more expert in this field?

If it was Kang Tae-han’s words, even if they didn’t exist, Yoo Se-ah would be trusted at first.

‘Or maybe… Could it be that I just wanted to do skinship?’

Meanwhile, Seah Yoo secretly recalls a cute imagination.

Sudden skinship while eating.

It was an imagination that might seem a bit outlandish, but personally, it was also a thrilling development, so just thinking about it made the corners of her mouth twitch.

“Then let me see you for a second.”

However, of course Kang Tae-han had no such intention.

I just woke up to solve her troubles.

Kang Tae-han put his hands on both of her shoulders and started a light massage as if he were massaging her shoulders normally.

“Well… It’s cool.”

From the outside, it’s just a simple shoulder massage that anyone can do. It’s cool, but it feels like there’s nothing more than that. In fact, Yoo Se-ah’s reaction was definitely calmer than usual.

However, that was natural.

The shoulder massage was simply a means to cover up the original purpose, and the actual action was taking place internally.

‘As expected, the circulation of vitality is suppressed.’

When calories come into the body, the human body tries to accumulate them as much as possible rather than using them all.

Maybe it’s the nature of trying to save as much energy as possible in preparation for a crisis situation. This is a part of the survival period that a creature called human has been wandering in the wild for a long time, and a common constitution deeply rooted in instinct.

However, for modern people, it is one of the factors that adversely affect health. Because there is plenty of food, energy is accumulated in the body, but it is only accumulated because a crisis situation does not come.

Originally, it would have been a great help to survival, but now it has become an era where you have to exercise while spending time, money, and effort to overcome it.

But that’s just a general story.

If only he could handle his ki.

‘Then let’s start.’

The solution to this is simpler than you might think.

Of course, a person’s constitution cannot be changed so easily. There is no way to remove the accumulated flesh at once.

It’s just that, through the blood circulation, it’s just fooling your instincts.

When a person recognizes a crisis situation, everything in a person’s body is activated to draw out the maximum power. Muscles, blood flow, and qi circulation are also raised to the maximum.

However, human instinct is simpler than you think, so if you activate one of those three, you will recognize yourself as a crisis situation and change your posture.

Does it matter if cause and effect are interchanged?

When it is recognized as a crisis, the work of accumulating energy in the body stops, and calories are used in the direction of consuming as much as possible in any way.

If you are in a situation where you need to use your body, it becomes easier to use your strength, and if you are in a situation where you have to use your brain, your concentration goes up. Even if you do not do any special activities, strengthen your body and even strengthen your immunity.

To raise the body’s ability to the maximum in any way and enter a state of actively consuming calories.

And the most efficient way to change one’s attitude is to activate the vitality of the body, that is, the circulation of vitality.

In the end, you have to actually move your body to stimulate your muscles, and rapidly activating blood flow can put a strain on your organs in many ways, especially affecting your heart.

On the other hand, what activates the vitality of blood vessels?

It just makes the body circulate with vitality, and there are no side effects unless there is a clogged blood vessel somewhere or a problem with some blood points.

It has already been confirmed that there is nothing wrong with Yoo Se-ah’s body.

Kang Tae-han began to stimulate and activate the blood vessels one by one, using the hand that was rubbing her shoulder to spread the feeling inside her.

‘… Uhm?’

First, start with the shoulders, then the chest, stomach, waist, and lower body. The stimulated blood vessels expand little by little, and the stagnant vitality begins to flow through the widened path.

It feels like the waterways of a reservoir are opening one by one.

Suddenly, four or five passages opened in her body, and a feeling of clear energy hovering around her, and a feeling of refreshment that was difficult to explain in words flowed through her body as if it were penetrating.

How should I express this?

Cool?

No, it’s not just a cool feeling.

It feels like something is burning inside.

Suddenly, I felt a surge of energy in my body, while my appetite began to turn around with a sudden feeling of hunger in my stomach.

“… ha.”

A brief exclamation burst from her body after a while.

Something that sounded like a sigh somewhere, but also like an exclamation, was a strange exclamation, as if her complex senses were tangled together.

Something that lifts one side of the chest and yet is very comfortable, such a mysterious feeling. It’s a bit odd, but not unpleasant. Rather, I feel like I want to continue to be immersed in this state.

I was just thinking about it when I was thinking about it.

“Okay, that’s all done.”

Kang Tae-han’s hand, which had been kneading for a while, stopped and tapped her on the shoulder lightly, as if signaling the end. Yoo Se-ah, who had her eyes closed while receiving the massage, showed a surprised expression on her face.

“Eh, is it over already?”

“yes. I’m done with this.”

All necessary measures have already been taken.

The circulation of vitality will be maintained in this state for the time being, and the accumulation of calories will naturally be suppressed, and most of the calories will be consumed immediately.

Of course, it doesn’t last forever, and it will go back to its original state soon, but it doesn’t matter to Seah Yoo. This was just an unusual case, but originally, he was a person with thorough self-management.

‘It’s not like I gained that much weight in the first place.’

I’m not sure, but at this level, Yoo Se-ah could have solved it on her own without Kang Tae-han’s help.

It’s just that during a meal, he holds back what he wants to eat and controls the amount of food he eats… In particular, it just looked so pitiful that a person who used to eat ssam vegetables with two pieces of meat only ate one piece at a time.

“You said earlier that you would do it for a moment.”

“I see… I did.”

Kang Tae-han returns to his seat with a smile on his face.

Clearly, all necessary measures have been completed.

However, apart from that, is it because the immersion was cut off in the middle? Seeing his back, Yoo Se-ah’s eyes showed deep regret.

However, that regret did not last as long as expected.

“Now then, let’s put some meat on it again.”

There is still heat left on the hot grill.

Kang Tae-han raised the fire again, and as soon as the grill was properly heated, he put a large piece of pork belly on it.

Chee Hee Hee… … !

At the same time, the sound of cooking meat resonated violently.

It is a sound that will stimulate and quench the appetite of most people, no matter who it is. but… … .

‘… Oh, why are you doing this?’

Seah Yoo was feeling a particularly intense hunger.

Of course, she’s been adjusting her diet lately and has been avoiding meat as much as possible, especially fatty meats like pork belly. It is natural to want to eat.

However, even if that is the case, isn’t it time for hunger to go away? I ate a little, but I was in a situation where I ate to some extent anyway.

But now she felt a stronger hunger and a stronger appetite than when she first sat down at the table. It is as if the food you just ate has already been digested and used as energy.

‘I can’t do this… … .’

Of course, this is because of the measures taken by Kang Tae-han.

However, there is no way Yoo Se-ah knew that. It was a situation where she could not lose this appetite and had to constantly adjust her diet.

You have to be patient.

With a strong determination, she emptied the green onion next to her and began to satisfy her hunger again.

But time goes by.

Around the time when the pink pork belly on the grill was grilled to a golden brown color and looked appetizing just by looking at it.

“… Taehan, can’t we eat this soon?”

She was able to find herself taking the lead in asking about the grilling of the meat. That day, she finished the meal satisfactorily by putting two pieces of meat on lettuce again.

* * *

“… I am crazy.”

next day.

Returning to her home, Yoo Se-ah lay down on the bed and let out a long sigh. In her head, the amount of food she had eaten the day before and the calories in it were spinning around.

‘… There’s no need to examine this.’

Diet is an extremely scientific and mathematical area.

The basis of diet control is calorie counting.

I didn’t even have to think about the meal the day before. I didn’t have to go far, even if I ate only meat, the calories were already out.

“… Whew. It was delicious though.”

I had no regrets.

As always, the meat Taehan grilled himself was delicious, and it was a satisfying time. On the contrary, if he had left behind the meat Taehan had cooked so hard, he would have felt more uncomfortable than he is now.

And, perhaps, it might be better to reconcile yourself after letting go like this, rather than continuing with a half-hearted resolution.

“then… Now let’s have a trial.”

If so, now is the time to make up your mind.

She got out of bed, got herself up, and pushed her foot under the desk to pull something out.

Its identity is none other than a weight scale.

This machine, devoid of the slightest hint of consideration, would show every single gram of the punishment she had committed the day before in numbers the moment she stepped on it.

Truly trial time.

She let out a small sigh and carefully placed her foot on the scale, step by step.

“Ugh… … .”

A beep, a ringing sound.

This is a sound indicating that the measurement has been completed.

As if covering her eyes with both hands was not enough, Yoo Se-ah slowly turned her head downward with her inner eyes closed.

And the numbers I carefully check with the gap between my fingers with my eyes open.

“… yes?”

However, the number listed there was a number that defied her expectations. She removed her hand from her blindfold, then fully opened her eyes to check the numbers several times.

“Why did you lose weight?”

It is normal to gain weight if you eat a lot.

I would be grateful if the original condition was maintained.

But, did you lose weight?

This… According to her common sense, it was impossible in a situation where she had eaten as much meat and food as the day before.

“The scale… It seems normal.”

Just in case, I put a 3kg dumbbell on it, and the scale showed exactly the number 3.0. Even if you increase the number of dumbbells, it did not change that the exact number comes out.

“… Is it 0 calories because I ate deliciously?”

A playful story circulating among households, saying that if you just enjoy your meal, don’t regret it and don’t worry about calories.

Of course, that couldn’t be true, and Yoo Se-ah was just joking around saying it. If so, what is this about? Yoo Se-ah was immersed in thought for a while, holding her mouth closed.

I was sitting on the bed for a while.

Did you suddenly think of something?

Even though she put on an ambiguous expression, she got up and headed to the living room where her mother, Han Joo-ah, was.

“Mom, did we have parasite medicine in our house?”

“Yes. But why?”

“just… Do you think it’s time to eat?”

I don’t think that’s possible, but… Since she had been abroad a while ago, Seah Yoo was taking a pill of repellent just in case.
