I can’t buy a treadmill, but I can buy a bicycle.

As soon as I got home, I ordered a decent, though expensive, bike online.

Minji said she would help with assembly, so it was done…

Now, rather than riding a bike at the gym, I should ride the treadmill and do other exercises.

“Oppa, you work out harder than I thought?”

You even bought a bicycle… Are you working harder than you thought?

Even without saying a word, it was written on Minji’s face.

Running early in the morning is okay, but I thought it would be more effective to exercise if I rode my bike at home every day.

It’s a pity that the room will be a little smaller.

“If I don’t exercise from now on, I don’t think I will live long.”

“Well thought out. I should live a long time thinking about Da-hye.”

Yes, even though it’s a little late, I still need to exercise.

Because my life as a hikikomori has been longer than I thought, I can’t see any signs of building muscle just by jumping.

But how do you build muscles?

Doesn’t cycling build lower body muscles?

“Oppa, you need to grow your lower body first. What do I do with my upper body when I don’t have the strength to support it?”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. So, ride your bike hard and build your leg muscles first. At the gym, all you have to do is use the treadmill and lift dumbbells.”

what.

You give some pretty good advice.

Didn’t you say until yesterday that it’s hard to talk about women and men because they exercise in different ways?

“Because building muscles is similar.”

“Hmm… Then should I eat chicken breast too?”

I tried boiled chicken breast yesterday, but it was dry and tasteless.

If you fry this to make tenders, it will be delicious, but it will be fat, so it won’t be very meaningful.

“If it is difficult to eat, mix it with milk and eat it.”

“Wow…”

I can’t believe you recommended that method to your brother.

He doesn’t eat that way either.

Come to think of it, when I was little, I complained about not being tall enough, so my mom made me something terrible…

I once had anchovies, clams, broccoli, celery, milk, etc. ground up and served to me.

I drank it without thinking and experienced hell…

Since my mom made it, I couldn’t throw it away and I remember eating it all.

“Ugh… I had a drink of that too. Since my brother said that for no reason, I ate it too.”

“It’s not my fault.”

That too is now a memory.

If my parents could come back alive with us, I would drink 3 cups a day.

Sigh… I’m reminded of my parents for no reason.

Even as you get older, you can’t help what you can’t do.

As I was wiping away my tears, Minji turned her head and was trembling slightly.

Minji also seems to be thinking about mom and dad.

In times like this, you shouldn’t play around.

He patted Minji on the shoulder and entered the room.

next day.

Da-hye, who returned from Seoul, entered the house dragging a large box.

It seems that the alarm did not come even though the package arrived.

This kind of thing happens every once in a while and we end up leaving our packages out in the cold outside.

Since the delivery driver is busy, I think there is nothing he can do.

By the way, didn’t the courier send a text message from the computer when it was completed?

“I went~”

“Welcome. What happened?”

I’m so nervous that drool is flowing out of my mouth.

Why is this so nerve-wracking…

“Hehe. I think I will go in the direction of production.”

“It’s not confirmed, right?”

“Don’t worry. It was the broadcasting station director who made the suggestion in the first place.”

It may not seem certain, but if management and the broadcasting station have decided on that direction, it is almost certain.

As long as the sponsor doesn’t make a hole or something along the way, it will go smoothly.

“Still, it seems like PPL is unavoidable.”

“It’s okay as long as it’s not too explicit.”

In particular, I don’t think there’s much need for PPL related to China.

In a drama I was watching before, a PPL like instant marathon suddenly appeared and my immersion was completely broken.

I hope to receive PPL as much as possible without damaging the work.

Things like cell phones, clothing, furniture, and cars.

“Don’t worry about that. Those things will be cut by the CEO, not the aunt.”

“Okay, I’ll just trust Dahye.”

“That’s right. My father said he would sponsor me. Hospitals appear quite often in your works, right?”

“That’s right.”

Because the male protagonist is a gangster, fight scenes often appear.

And I often get taken to the hospital.

The female protagonist gradually falls in love with the male protagonist who only fights throughout the world.

And that’s because they fall in love with each other.

By the way, are you sponsoring the hospital and even filming it?

If this happens, I feel so sorry to my mother-in-law and father-in-law.

“Mom and Dad like that kind of thing, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

“Hmm… I’m glad if that’s the case…”

“You’ve already done a lot. The hospital featured in the previous drama about doctors is also our foundation hospital.”

“….I think I saw that too.”

That’s cool.

Since you are sponsoring a broadcasting station anyway, there is nothing to say.

“Hehe. But what is this big package?”

After finishing talking about work, Dahye immediately went into personal conversation.

I see Dahye clinging to the box and wondering what it is, so I want to unpack it quickly.

“I wonder what it is? It’s a bicycle.”

“Bicycle?”

Dahye suddenly tilts her head as if she doesn’t understand why it’s a bicycle.

You seem to be confusing outdoor cycling with indoor cycling.

Well, there is no reason to ride a bicycle when you have a car.

“Not that bike, but the bike you use at the gym, right?”

“Ah, you’re talking about cycles.”

“Yes. Dahye: When you were in Seoul, I thought you were going to die from back pain. The doctor said it would be good for me to exercise, so I bought it.”

While saying that, I unwrapped the packaging of the box one by one.

Boom! Boom! It was noisy, but it was still afternoon anyway so it would be okay.

When I took off the box and removed the Styrofoam, the bicycle appeared… It didn’t look like a cycle because it was disassembled.

“I need to assemble this…”

Unfortunately, I got a call saying Minji would be late today.

I heard that today I have to go through all the businesses and settle the settlement.

It must be busy because there are more than 10 stores in operation.

“I will help you.”

“Thank you.”

“Where are you going to install this? Living room?”

“Hmm… It would be a bit awkward to leave it in the living room, so I’m thinking about putting it in my room.”

“I don’t think it would work if I put it in your room because it’s too small. Why not just leave it in the living room?”

“Is that so?”

Let’s make sure to accept Dahye’s opinion 100%.

I was a little disappointed that my room was getting smaller, but if I put it in the living room, my sister and Minji can ride, and the room won’t get too small, which would be good for everyone.

is not it?

Because the living room is getting smaller.

***

Assembling the bike took more time than expected.

First of all, I needed to turn the screw, but there was no monkey wrench included at all.

All we had at home was a Phillips screwdriver and a hammer, so I went to the store and bought one.

And when I came back from buying it, there were no batteries, so I had to go to the supermarket again.

I had no idea that electricity was needed to check the number of kilometers traveled and the speed per hour.

“Oh…”

“You can adjust the gear with this.”

“Thank you. If it weren’t for Dahye, I couldn’t have assembled it.”

It says that men can assemble it alone, but how can they assemble this by themselves?

In order to fit the screws underneath, someone had to hold one side.

Otherwise, the screw will not fit into the hole.

What made you assemble it this way?

“Let’s take a ride…”

“Now?”

Da-hye began to glance at the clock, saying she wanted him to look at it.

When I thought about something, it was already past 18:00.

It’s time for dinner.

You must be hungry because you said you didn’t eat anything when you came from Seoul.

“Do you want to eat something?”

“Mmm! Pork belly!”

“How did you know that I bought pork belly when I went to buy batteries?”

I took out a 3kg pack of pork belly from the bag placed on the kitchen table.

Even though it was refrigerated, it was cheap, so I bought a lot.

You can put this in kimchi stew, grill it, and eat it…

If you cook it here and there, you can make it in less than two days.

“Would you like me to bake it for you? Should I make it with boiled pork?”

“I want to grill it and eat it.”

“Really? Then you can make kimchi stew.”

If I had chosen boiled pork, it would have been tuna kimchi stew instead of pork kimchi stew.

Personally, it doesn’t matter because I like both, but Minji doesn’t like tuna kimchi stew, so she didn’t do it well.

So I had to boil soybean paste stew separately, but that was no longer necessary.

“Minji is late anyway, so isn’t it okay?”

“When I come home late for work, I don’t even eat.”

“Aha… I guess I’m late.”

Usually, when I’m late, there are a lot of company dinners, so I end up eating.

And the next day, I wake up late and look for hangover soup.

“It’s almost time for my sister to come too…”

Is your sister late today too?

My sister, who usually comes right on time, seems to have calculated the time and comes right on time, but today she is a little late.

If I’m late, I always text to say I’m late…

I’m worried for no reason.

“If you’re worried, please give us a call.”

“I guess so.”

Although he may seem like a siscom obsessed with his older sister.

You wouldn’t bother me while I was spending time with my boyfriend for no reason, right?
