104 – EP.5 Maesaeng exotic country-2

***

Even as the evening workout time approached, I couldn’t easily shake off the steamy feeling.

no, no no no

He hypnotized himself, but to no avail.

The Myeongseong Building that Hocheol took me to.

I swallowed, looking up at the brightly lit sixth floor.

“I’ll just go in. Good job.”

Hocheol nodded, and then trudged away.

“like….”

I wanted to catch the returning Ho-cheol for a moment, but soon stopped.

Behind him, the faces of Chonggwan, Maehwa, and Yeonhwa were blurry.

With Hocheol’s help, I’ll be able to find an easier solution.

However, what if Hocheol is harmed as a result? I will be unbearable

It was enough in the last dimension to helplessly watch the sacrifice of others.

I never wanted to feel that way again.

“great.”

I don’t know what’s good, but I went up muttering that.

A bright light shone down, and I opened one of the automatic doors and looked inside.

Mr. Garam was working on something at his desk.

Perhaps you are sending text messages about the opening of the center to the few remaining members, or handling the balance of remodeling.

I didn’t go right in and looked at her.

With a smiley face, always full of energy. This is the look of Mr. Garam I know.

Sure, she was a bit insecure at times, but the energetic first impression she made is still firmly in my head.

Even if she decorates something behind her back, she shows a good side in front of me.

No, to be precise, I try to show only the good side of me.

If I hang out with her as if I don’t know anything, if I have the conscience to ignore the awkwardness in my heart, then her bright smile will welcome me.

To check if the maesaeng exotic soup placed in front of me is hot, should I poke it with a spoon, scoop it out, and put it in my mouth?

Even though it is not yet clear what she has done, the destined future is visible.

hahahaha, sh*t.

And, of course, fear rises like a haze.

When confronted with her, maybe the physical pain I would go through.

Money that’s dormant in my account, never seen before in my life.

The fear inherent in the depths of human beings continues to tempt us to follow the natural order.

But, is that right?

No, the answer is fixed. It’s just that I’m not brave enough to put it into practice.

This container will not be filled no matter how much time is spent.

“Whoa, whoa…”

Take a deep breath.

Then press the button to open the automatic door.

so I.

So that this cowardly fear would not seduce me any further, I decided to run into it.

“Ah! Are you here?”

Mr. Garam who jumps up and comes to gun gun gun gun.

I smiled my dimples and gave her a high five.

“hehehe, you came early today.”

At some point, she put her arms around me and pushed me toward the desk.

I didn’t resist the force and went where she wanted.

We left a desk and faced each other.

She took out a chart, checked the changes in her body, and introduced today’s exercise program.

“I’ll run for about 5 minutes and warm up my body.”

I nodded obediently to her words, changed my clothes in the locker room, and got on the treadmill.

It runs at a speed of 7.0 km/h.

Five minutes passed, and by the time the moderate heat rose from my body, Mr. Garam stood behind me.

“Okay, let’s start exercising.”

Today is lower body workout day.

The thighs are torn and the stiff lower body exercise course is performed without saying anything.

Normally, I would lie down saying I couldn’t do it, but today, for some reason, I feel energized.

“Oh! I guess you’re doing well today?”

As if Mr. Garam felt the change in me, he raised his thumb during the long leg press.

After the workout, Mr. Garam and I went back home after cleaning up the center.

As always, I drive her home in my car.

Sitting in the passenger seat, she continues to maintain the unique high tension she showed me.

“I want you to exercise well these days and be careful about eating delivery food.”

“I’m always curious, how do you know so well?

“I have nothing to say because you are so confident.

Seeing him holding his form by putting a V on his face, I forgot the awkwardness of the day for a moment and laughed.

“Ah, Mr. Garam. Did you apologize to the cafe staff last time?”

Entering her now-familiar neighborhood, I rhymed the questions that had been on my mind during the workout.

As if it wasn’t a big deal, as if I had just remembered it, I asked lightly like the wind on a spring day.

“Yes, I did. Thankfully, they understood. I also wondered why I was like that back then…”

She also takes it lightly. Even the way he laughs awkwardly and blames himself from the past.

Normally, it’s a situation where I should be relieved, but I still felt uneasy.

“I went to a cafe with Ho-chul today, and a new employee came.”

“It looks like you moved the time zone.”

“No, I was curious, so I asked him, and he said he quit.

I turned the car right.

“Oh… I’m sorry about something. Even though I apologized.”

“It’s always like that. Since that day, every time I go to a cafe, I’ve noticed a little bit… If you think selfishly, it might be a good thing.”

“To be honest, so am I. I don’t know if it’s right to think like this.”

“Because humans are selfish. It’s natural to feel that way.”

Nodding my head alone, I said.

“Because he was so good at his job. He could do well elsewhere.”

“I will. I hope you get well soon and return to your daily life.”

I stepped on the accelerator lightly to speed up, and the car soon arrived in front of her house.

“Okay, we’ve arrived.”

I said looking at the passenger seat.

“Thank you every time.”

“What? I can do this much.”

I smiled and pressed the button, and the passenger’s door clicked open.

“Can you exercise tomorrow morning?”

“Ah… I have to do some banking work tomorrow morning. I think I can only exercise in the evening like today.”

“……It seems like you’ve been neglecting your workouts lately.”

“Ah, but you’ve lost weight. Hurry up and go in. Cars will come behind you.”

“Yes. Then please send me the diet.”

“Yes! Got it.”

Mr. Garam closed the door, and I waved my hand and left slowly.

A cold sweat broke out on my back as I drove out of this most underdeveloped residential complex in a developed city where even the streetlights did not come on properly.

“Whoa…”

Eventually, as the car merged into the bright boulevard, I was able to let out the breath I had been holding back.

The tension that had been constricting my body was released, and I almost stepped on the accelerator without realizing it.

As I expected, maesaeng exotic soup was hot.
