Anything in excess is not good.

Just as eating too much is bad for your health, exercising too much is bad for your body.

I started exercising for my back health.

I didn’t really feel much exercise, perhaps because I usually just ran, but after riding my bike at home and running and lifting dumbbells at the gym, I started to feel it very quickly.

Is that why I became even more greedy?

As I felt differently each day, I think I felt a little impatient.

So, I only tried to ride it for 1 hour a day, but I ended up riding it for over 3 hours a day because I overdid it a bit.

Naturally, due to the recoil, my legs and thighs were so tight that it was difficult to walk.

“Oppa. I bought muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatory drugs here.”

“Thank you..”

I tried to take the medicine with both hands like a loyal subject receiving medicine, but when Da-hye saw that, she was so amazed that she placed it on the table.

And then…

“Well, even though I’m sick, I still joke around, right?”

“Ahh! There…there!!”

After playing around for a bit, Da-hye pressed down on her thigh, which felt like it was dying.

It’s not a joke.

I think something like a nether road just caught my eye?

I never thought I would live to see the Hwangcheon Road with my own eyes.

I never saw him even when he was in the intensive care unit after a car accident.

“Exercise is good, but you have to do it in moderation! Is it like running or riding a bike? Plus, you put the gear in the highest gear and stepped on it!”

“Well…you have to do that to get exercise…”

“Indoor cycling is a way to exercise even if you don’t do that. My brother is in the same state as if he went riding on a bicycle, right?”

I only rode it for 3 hours, but isn’t the analogy too big?

I don’t think people who actually ride bicycles would even scoff at riding for about 3 hours.

“So that’s what it says. Because actual riding and cycling are different.”

“Umm…”

If Da-hye is like that, it must be like that.

I guess I’ll just have to stop and come to terms with it.

“If you understand, just lie down and take a nap.”

“I can’t sleep…”

I just woke up and it’s still 10 in the morning.

How else can you grow during this time?

My body is tired, but my mind is a mess.

This is why celebrities abuse sleeping pills.

I feel like I suddenly understand a little bit.

If I could relieve my fatigue by sleeping, I think I would take a sleep-inducing medication.

“If you really can’t sleep, can I sing you a lullaby next to you?”

“Can’t you propose instead of a lullaby?”

I’m not a child, but I can’t fall asleep while listening to a lullaby.

I think it would be more effective to just receive the profjo, close your eyes with a happy heart, and wait until you fall asleep.

“Ugh… that’s….”

“You’re preparing to propose anyway, right?”

“Yes, but…”

“Then, I think the wedding will come before the proposal. I heard your mother-in-law has already made reservations for the wedding venue?”

He told Da-hye that she would regret it for the rest of her life if she lost me, and already arranged the ceremony.

Personally, I would like to have a small wedding, but even so, it is the wedding of the daughter of the chairman of a conglomerate foundation, so isn’t that impossible?

But… I think reporters will spread the news that I’m getting married.

Isn’t it meaningless since it will be a private wedding held between family members anyway?

“Umm…”

Da-hye heard what I said, and began to worry, weighing down her head.

Did I say that for no reason?

I didn’t mean to rush you.

Is there anyone in the world who urges people to propose?

However, contrary to my expectations, Da-hye stood up with a look full of determination.

He clenched his fists and spoke slowly.

“I’ll go to my room for a moment. Don’t go anywhere, just lie down.”

“Uh…yeah….”

I closed the door a little forcefully and stared at her for a long time after she disappeared.

….Are you angry?

*

As time passed, Da-hye did not come back, so I just went to sleep.

As I lay down, I was able to sleep better than I thought.

The muscle relaxant must have worked really well, as my tense muscles slowly began to relax.

The anti-inflammatory painkillers worked quite well and I didn’t feel any pain.

But what is the difference between anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics?

I suddenly became curious.

I can’t help but wonder.

I immediately turned on my phone and did a simple search on the Green Green site.

“Hmm… Antibiotics do not treat inflammation, but fundamentally treat it by catching bacteria, and anti-inflammatory drugs only slowly dissolve inflammatory proteins and slow down the progression…”

Well then, antibiotics would mean nothing to me.

I think it would be perfect to just take anti-inflammatory drugs and muscle relaxants.

I don’t think Dahye will come anyway… I guess she’ll just watch QTube.

I’ll text you later if I have anything to say.

Yeah… I’ll text you.

Although it was a little faster than I thought.

I was manipulating my phone screen to access the QTube app, and sure enough, a text message arrived.

That too to Dahye.

It’s written in MMS and is a bit long, so the preview doesn’t show up.

If this happens, I’ll get scared again.

What’s written all over it?

I swallowed my saliva, touched the text message, and read it carefully.

“………….”

It was clearly an MMS message.

Strangely enough, there were only a few characters written there.

Just 10 characters.

‘Please come outside now.’ Only 10 letters were written.

“Are you telling me to come out the front door?”

Did you go somewhere to buy something?

No, I know that I’m not in very good shape, but it’s not Dahye’s fault to call.

Write… Are you really saying that you asked me to propose rather than sing a lullaby?

I don’t have any regrets because it’s what I wanted, but…

“Uhm… It would be meaningless if I just kept thinking about it.”

I need to change my clothes first.

Even though it’s Busan, it’s cold in this weather.

Long pants and a long-sleeved top.

And even a warm windbreaker.

A set that doesn’t look like fashion at all…

When I was living a hikikomori life, this was no different from a suit.

Anyway, after changing my clothes, I checked my clothes again.

Even if you don’t have a fashion sense, shouldn’t you dress neatly?

Rattling!

I opened the door to go out to the front door.

However, something is strange.

Isn’t it my job to get up early in the morning and pull back the curtains in the living room?

But, why is the living room so dark?

And yet, there is something like a candle on the floor…

And then he raised his head.

LED candles lit up the dark living room, and the next thing that caught my eye was none other than Dahye.

Ah…. no way….

“Oppa!!”

“Yes!”

He called me out of the blue and answered with great respect.

I was surprised by the candlelight proposal, but I was also surprised when Dahye suddenly called me.

It seems that the proposal that Dahye was preparing was a candlelight heart proposal.

No… Is this how kids propose these days?

This is a proposal that is close to standard, but…

Isn’t this a proposal that was close to standard only in the United States in 1990?

They still make proposals like this.

It’s kind of cute and funny because it has a lot of wisdom.

If I were no different from ordinary men… what would have happened?

Seeing this situation decorated with lots of balloons and LED candles… uh…

You must be happy.

It took a little while, but it’s okay to propose like this.

“Oppa. Do you remember what I said before while eating king crab?”

King crab…

The day Dahye said she had something to say, so we went out to eat…

“What did you say you loved?”

“Yes. Actually, it was a proposal at first.”

I knew it was a proposal too.

However, Minjae and Seongho had a strange affair with me, so I consulted with Minji…

Minji That guy is the problem!

Isn’t it because I told Dahye that for no reason that I ended up in this ambiguous situation?

“Well…I forgot to give you the ring back then…”

“Well…that’s right…”

But… it’s really strange.

When Dahye first properly proposed to me, I wasn’t too embarrassed.

But why does my whole body seem to be shaking now?

I’m shaking as if I’m getting chills.

Is this what the person receiving the proposal feels?

That mixture of joy and excitement!

“Originally, I had prepared everything a long time ago… But, it was difficult because I thought I had to propose again.”

“I understand too.”

“Really? You’re not upset because it’s late or anything, right?”

“No… Do I look like a guy who gets upset over things like that?”

“That can’t be right. Anyone I know would never do that.”

Although we have been dating for less than a year, our understanding of each other’s feelings is deeper than that of a 10-year relationship.

Didn’t you open up your mind and have a conversation?

“Well…then hold out your hand.”

“Do you want me to put it in?”

“Of course it has to be included, right?”

Dahye really tilted her head and asked me innocently.

Even though they both confessed to each other, it’s natural that they don’t know much since it’s their first time proposing and giving a ring.

No, if this is something you are familiar with or have already done, isn’t it a bigger problem?

Hmm… Anyway, I held out my left hand.

“Here… I want you to see the diamond…”

“Hiik…”

How much did you spend?

This is my first time seeing a ring with so many diamonds.

It’s not cubic…

Even if a good quality diamond is small, it will be quite expensive…

“Oppa.”

“Oh, I’m sorry.”

Da-hye urges him to hug her too.

I received the ring box from Da-hye, took out the ring, and slowly slipped it onto the ring finger of Da-hye’s left hand.

It’s just right. It’s just right.
