The next day, as usual, I went out to the gym.

One thing that’s a little different from yesterday is that today I brought Minji out to use as a shield.

Originally, I was planning to take Dahye and I out, but today I went up to Seoul because I had something important to do.

They say it’s related to a drama, but it looks like it will be completely decided in the near future.

Dramatization…

I thought it would be great, but I never imagined it would actually be discussed.

Isn’t it all accomplished in almost two years?

My dream is to turn a web novel into a drama.

“Oppa. What are you thinking?”

“No, nothing.”

Was I being too dazed?

I started to become interested in what Minji was thinking.

You must be imagining something strange again.

Minji always imagines things in strange ways.

“Are you feeling lonely after going up to Seoul? Were you thinking about your sister?”

“No. My brother is not my child.”

“Really? Certainly… he seems to be looking a little overwhelmed…”

“Is it so visible that you can see it just by looking at it?…”

“Oppa is perfect if he’s nice.”

Since the world is gender-balanced, shouldn’t men have that ability?

Why does it seem so mixed up?

It is unnatural that the strength of the body is determined by the muscles…

Surely, it’s not that your common sense has changed, but that you’re stuck in a brain-in-a-box state?

“Ah… what am I thinking.”

Could it be that the last dream I had before I died was something like this reality?

Life is so happy that I have all sorts of strange thoughts.

If this were a brain in a vat, there wouldn’t be such a garbage ending.

When I reached the ending, it was all a dream and I suffered a stroke and woke up in the intensive care unit.

As I sighed and shook my head, Minji started to laugh.

Minji seems to have interpreted it differently.

“Oh, it’s true that I want to see you. I’m afraid he’s not a man~”

“No? I am Minji, and neither are you.”

that’s right.

On the contrary, when Minji, who was crying and making a fuss about missing her brother, said those words, I was shocked.

“What…what are you talking about? When I was separated from my brother, I thought about you!!”

“When you were young, don’t you remember calling your brother and asking where he went when he went on a school trip?”

Minji started to think deeply while holding on to the car steering wheel.

It seems like he can’t even remember whether he did something like that in the past.

Of course, since I said it, it will come to mind clearly.

What did you do that day!

“Ugh… I was young back then…”

“Young. There’s only a two-year difference between you and your brother, right?”

How much trouble I had because of that.

It was a little cute to cry because her older brother wasn’t around, but does it make sense to worry about her younger sister instead of being able to enjoy the school trip properly?

“Hey….I’m sorry….”

“No, I didn’t mean to come here and apologize now.”

Still, I felt sorry for Minji when she suddenly apologized.

I only found it because I like it, so what if I say something?

I just need to stroke his head.

While driving, I gently stroked Minji’s head, who was looking sullen.

“Hehe.”

Still, seeing him smiling makes me feel a little at ease.

Minjiman’s common sense remains the same even if it is reversed.

We arrived at a large gym after driving for about 10 minutes.

When I opened the door and went inside, the desk clerk who was sitting there yesterday was still sitting there.

His appearance is no different from yesterday, to the point where you wonder if he lives here.

When I heard the door opening, I looked over and smiled.

“Welcome. Member.”

“Hello. My sister also wants to use it for a day. How much is it for a day?”

“The daily pass is 10,000 won, but since you did not use it properly yesterday, you do not have to pay today.”

“Is it still okay?

Isn’t this just a part-time job?

If I just let it go, wouldn’t the owner or boss get scolded…

“Oh, I’m the boss here, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

“……Really?”

“Yes. So, please exercise comfortably and then go.”

really?

Just by looking at it, it looks like he’s about the same age as me…

There are really rich people…

How rich would someone be if they had the financial resources to build a gym out of an entire building?

“Here are your height and clothes.”

“Thank you. I will work hard and go.”

The counter owner smiles when he tells Minji that she has been working out hard.

I think it was the best thing to hear from the owner of the gym.

“The boss seems like a really nice person.”

“Yesterday, I heard that strange people were talking to me, so they said they would deal with it.”

“Really? He’s a man, but he’s amazing.”

“Sure. If it were me, I wouldn’t have been able to say a word because I was scared.”

“But don’t worry today. Because I will be watching from the side.”

My little sister snorted and told me to leave it to myself.

It seems like she’s confident in her strength because she takes after her older sister, but I don’t know if she’ll be okay since she looks so delicate.

First, we had to change clothes, so Minji headed to the women’s locker room, and I headed to the men’s locker room.

As expected, there is no one in the men’s locker room.

quiet.

Still, when I came yesterday, I saw about two men.

Just like yesterday, I roughly took off my clothes, threw them away, and fastened the keys to my wrist.

This rubber key is a type of key that is used everywhere, whether it is a luxurious place or not.

It’s not easy to lose it.

If there’s one thing I regret, it’s that it’s a little old-fashioned.

These days, there are many things that allow you to set a fingerprint or one-time password.

When I went inside muttering such regrets, Minji was already running hard on the treadmill.

Running at a fast pace with a stable posture makes it seem like you’ve already done it a lot…

“Minji. Have you been to the gym?”

“I did a lot when I was in the military. These days, I still go to the gym every lunch time.”

“Really?”

Minji is the type of person who works out hard.

Did I nag him to exercise without even knowing it?

Now that I think about it, there aren’t many people with strong skills like Minji…

Why did I think Minji would be weak?

“Oppa. Even though I’m like this, I’m from the Special Forces.”

“Keuung… I’m good, I’m good.”

Did you say you even received a brigade commander commendation?

If you think about it, Minji is a truly amazing person.

“Then, brother, teach me how to exercise. You know it well, right?”

“A. Are there different ways of exercising for women and men? And if I, who don’t know anything, teach it, it won’t go any further.”

“Hmm… Then should I get PT as well…”

“PT is better. These days, it’s common to manage diet as well.”

I’m not even interested in diet.

I’m not specifically trying to lose weight or go on a diet.

I just wish you could teach me how to exercise.

“Should I go and ask? Please post PT.”

“Hmm… I’m going to run hard for a month and think about it.”

Wouldn’t it be better to build your body and get PT?

If you try to do something without getting fit, it’s obvious that you won’t be able to do it because it will be difficult.

Then I’ll give up and I’ll lose motivation again.

I also don’t want to waste time or money going that route.

“Then, eat protein and exercise starting tonight.”

“I guess so… Then from now on, all meals in our house will be chicken breast…”

Was that why I hated it so much?

Minji clung to me and started biting me.

***

“Phew….Phew….Phew….”

Unlike yesterday, I felt deep in my bones that I had exercised properly.

This is my first time riding a bicycle for this long.

Was this this difficult?

When I just ride a bike, I don’t think it’s that hard, but when I think about exercising while sitting, I feel quite tired.

“Down your head and don’t breathe through your mouth. Then your lung capacity won’t increase.”

“That…that…”

I’m doing this because it’s difficult.

Are you saying that you raise your head and take a deep breath and feel like you’re out of breath?

“Don’t pause like that, but slowly inhale through your nose and then exhale. Slowly.”

“Phew……”

As I did as Minji said, I could feel my breathing slowly becoming thinner.

Earlier, I needed an oxygen mask.

“In the military, you had to climb mountains without resting?”

“That must be because they are special forces…”

“Is that so?”

Seeing someone as unfinished…

I was also a reservist sergeant who had served in the military.

The reason it is in past tense is because since common sense changed, men no longer go to the military.

So, of course, there is no record of having served in the military.

I, who was a level 2 active duty soldier and reserve sergeant, became uncommitted in one day?

It’s not the name of a web novel…

“I think you just need to use the treadmill and ride a bike diligently from now on.”

“Should I just take it home…”

” Even if you don’t buy a treadmill, you can buy a bicycle cheaply.”

Surprisingly, bicycles seem cheap.

I checked the price with the smartphone I left next to the water bottle, and I was able to get a good cheap one in the 200,000 won range.

Next is the treadmill…

Naturally, the treadmill was a bit expensive.

“Wouldn’t the treadmill come up from the bottom?”

“Of course…”

That’s a gym, so you can ride it.

If you leave it at home, it seems like a week later it starts making noise between floors and may be on the news.
