76 – EP.5 How many kg dumbbells have you lifted?-3

***

– The moon is bright. It looks like Hana’s face is stuck in the moon.

– Hanaya oppa is already 40 years old. Now I have to get married soon.

– Hana, you said you only need to bring your body? My brother has everything ready.

– Could it be because of my age? I’m older, but I’m still in my early 30s?

“Ahhhhh !!!!”

I couldn’t stand it any longer and hit the desk with my head.

“No, why did you have a body like this this time!! You managed to possess the body of a handsome young child!!!”

“Fat? Doesn’t matter! Lose it! Old? It’s okay. It could be.”

By the way.

“But this kind of character is too much!! You pigeon b*tch!!!”

They scream loudly at the inaudible God.

Now that I think about it, this situation seems more difficult than when I was being dragged around by Namgung So-yeon.

It took 30 minutes to make a fuss in the study while setting up a blood vessel in my neck alone like that.

I don’t have the strength to fight any more because my body is old.

I put my chin on the desk to cool down.

“Let’s just die.”

The words that came after a long thought were simple.

“Should I live as a person with such a dark history? I can never do it. Never…”

However, the original mind that lives somewhere deep in the heart speaks.

– But, you’re the landlord?

– You’ve got money you’ve never touched in your life?

– I don’t have a job, I just live my life the way I want to.

A sweet voice that whispers like a devil’s temptation.

It’s a balance game here.

[Living as a nerdy landlord in his 40s vs. living in his warm 20s and 30s]

“…Ac. It’s a battle…”

it’s a valve

I can’t resist the temptation of the landlord. And what do you do when you possess a warm-hearted man? Got stabbed and killed.

Wouldn’t it be better to just live like this?

It’s a little boring to die from being swung around.

“Okay. Let’s think positively, positively.”

This dark history, which seems like the only flaw, can be seen as not progressing seriously yet if you look at it from a different perspective.

After all, it’s a middle-aged man’s one-sided courtship, right? There doesn’t seem to be any relationship at all.

Well, I also had a lot of flirting with women in the original world. Because of that… wouldn’t it be okay to think of it as a similar experience?

I feel more sad when I think about the fact that there is nothing different from before or now.

Oh, let’s wipe some tears for a moment.

“Okay. The bad life ends here!

let’s cut it all off

Quit drinking, quit smoking, quit dating.

This will allow you to live a healthier life.

Because I have a lot of money. Let’s live as well as possible here.

-Growl

As I jumped up from my desk with a firm resolve, I heard a loud noise in my stomach.

“Oh, I’m hungry.”

There doesn’t seem to be anything to eat at home, so let’s go out and eat.

Also to cure a hangover.

***

My long-awaited first meal after moving to another dimension was sundae soup.

I don’t know how much alcohol I drank the day before, but my stomach felt empty and sore.

“Heh heh heh heh heh.”

When I scooped a spoonful and put it in my mouth, it was hot and cooled in my mouth.

You should reward the person who made the soup. At this price, it gives you a certain satiety.

The feeling of filling my stomach and the savory taste of the soup on the tip of my tongue made me forget reality for a moment.

yeah, just a minute

– What’s my age~ How’s my age~

A very old cell phone rang. it’s my cell phone

Oh man, should I change it?

After briefly looking at the caller’s name, I gulped down the soup in my mouth.

“hello.”

– Ah, brother, I have something to tell you about the Myeongseong Building. Are you at home?

“Oh, it’s a sundae restaurant near my house. Come to work.”

– Yes, I will go.

After the call ended, Yoo Ho-cheol arrived at my place.

mid thirties. Someone who treats me with respect and takes care of the minutiae of my business.

I don’t know exactly what kind of relationship it is, but looking at the contents exchanged, it’s someone I’ve been with for quite a long time.

In other words, it is a person who has been verified to some extent.

A man with short sporty hair sat in front of me.

“Why are you eating all the soup?”

Fanning his hands, Hocheol asked.

“I drank too much yesterday.”

I replied as I scooped up half of the bowl of rice and put it in the soup.

“Even so. Brother, you didn’t look at it even if you said it smelled like pork in sausage soup.”

Hocheol said after pouring a glass of water and drinking it.

“I don’t know. Maybe my tastes change as I get older.”

“Ah, older brother. You said you’re still strong. What’s that? I heard you’re not inferior to those in your 20s.”

Hocheol said with a friendly smile.

“Be quite.”

Did I? add black history

Ho-cheol started talking about how the weather was and how the tenant was these days, and I ate while listening to the story.

By the way, did this man eat?

“hey.”

“yes?”

Hocheol, who had been talking about something for a while, cut off his words and I asked.

“Have you eaten?

“Oh, no. Not yet.”

late lunchtime. It had been a long time since the meal, and Ho-cheol’s stomach growled.

“Let’s eat together. I’ll buy it for you.”

I couldn’t ignore the sound, so I suggested it to him.

“Yes? Together?”

Ho-cheol is taken aback by my words.

“Why? Did I say something strange?”

“No, it’s not like that. It seems like it’s been a while since I got a meal from you. hahahaha.”

Even after he said it, he scratched his cheek as if he was embarrassed. I smiled and replied.

“How expensive is sundae soup? Here! Please give me some soup.”

Soon after, the rice soup came out, and Ho-cheol said thank you over and over, as if he was thrilled.

The previous me… was a salty idol beyond imagination.

He must have been very hungry, so he ate the soup without cooling it down. Before I knew it, the amount of soup became the same as mine.

“Hey… isn’t it hot?”

“Uhhhhh”

He says it while cooling off, but I don’t know if that’s okay.

Anyway, Ho-cheol ate soup like a person who had starved for a decade, and I was able to intuit the one-person mukbang show right in front of my eyes.

Wow… To put something so hot directly down your throat… Humans are amazing.

After Ho-cheol’s spirited meal, I wiped my mouth with a tissue and said,

“Did you say you had something to talk about?”

“Yes. It’s on the 6th floor of the Myeongseong Building, right?”

Hocheol, who had been tapping his stomach feeling full, corrected his posture and said,

“The 6th floor of the Myeongseong Building?”

Uh… what’s up there?

When I put on a blank expression, Ho-cheol explained, saying he knew that.

“There’s a place where you’ve paid your deposit the last month, right? The gym.”

It seems to be a common rental-tenant problem.

“By the way?”

“That’s because I couldn’t even pay the rent this month. I told them to sort it out now. But they’re very circumspect. They said they’d beg my brother to be kind to me.”

“Hmm… Really? Has something like this happened before?”

“No. I’ve never looked at it. You’ve always been like that. It’s not like I’m digging the ground for business.”

I told you not to be cheap.

He put a glass of water in his mouth and tapped his phone.

Let’s see… The Myeongseong Building is located… It’s closer than I thought. It’s just a walking distance from home.

“If the 6th floor is empty, will anyone come in?”

“I have to look up. As you know, hyung-nim knows, but there aren’t that many people coming and going, so I don’t think he’ll come in anytime soon.”

I was trying to change my posture because my crossed legs were uncomfortable, but the heavy belly fat kept getting stuck.

“Hey.”

“yes.”

With her eyes fixed on her phone, she speaks to Ho-cheol.

“Let’s just leave it alone. The gym.”

“Eh? Why? When I saw it, there were no people there. It was empty. I didn’t think they would pay the overdue rent just by looking after it several times.”

“No, I’m not just leaving it for money. I’m leaving it as a convenience facility.”

“Amenities?”

“Yeah. I’m thinking of doing some exercise. I’m gaining weight. It’s good to go to a gym near my house.”

“Well, I guess so. But if that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to sign up for a similar street gym?”

“We’re going to use what we have. It’s in our building, so there’s no need to go somewhere else, right? Go and ask. I won’t be paying rent for a while. Could you give me some exercise? For free.”

“Uh… I’ll say it one more time. Maybe it’ll be okay.”

I got up and paid for the meal, and when I spoke, Ho-cheol nodded slowly and replied.

“Then I’ll go to the Myungsung Building right now.”

“Yes, oh that’s right! Go ahead and wrap it up and tell me. Don’t say something stupid like I’ll do it for free.”

I won’t pay the rent, so let me exercise. My face was not thick enough to say confidently.

Instead, he asked Ho-cheol to pack it well, and he patted his chest, saying not to worry, and quickly disappeared.

Garam Fitness Center.

When Ho-cheol, who had just visited, visited again, the owner of the center, Ga-ram Choi, looked puzzled.

The empty center contrasted with the exciting music stung her heart and made her feel sick.

With yellow dyed hair that was almost completely gone, she tied it up in a ponytail and sat at her desk.

He clung to it with the feeling of grabbing at least a straw… Could it be that the landlord was lenient?

She kept thinking about not drinking kimchi soup, but the happiness circuit that started running once didn’t stop.

Ho-cheol, with a kind smile, came with an answer to what she said.

Garam, who had been listening to Ho-cheol’s explanation for a while, asked Ho-cheol again, tilting his head to see if what he had heard was correct.

“Uh… First of all, it was an unreasonable request, but thank you for listening. But… is what you just said right? That boss? He…”

“Yes! My older brother is very interested in Mr. Garam’s fitness center. He said he wants it to stay there for as long as possible.”
