Perhaps because I fell asleep feeling refreshed, I woke up early the next day.

The faint morning sunlight that came through the curtains served as a spotlight for the desk clock next to the bed.

Under the gorgeous lighting, the desk clock proudly pointed to 7 o’clock.

There was a magazine meal I picked up as an empty stomach exercise and all, but I didn’t feel like I was going to exercise in earnest today, so I ate breakfast.

I ordered ingredients online before going to bed, and they were delivered to my doorstep in the early morning.

As a result, for the first time in a long time, the residents of this house received food ingredients rather than finished refrigerator products.

I put the bread in the toaster, broke an egg and placed it in the frying pan.

The egg cooked with a sizzling sound, and the golden toast poked its head out with a clicking sound.

I scooped out the strawberry jam with a jam spatula that showed no signs of use and spread it thinly on the bread.

One side of the toast was stained red, like a new woman’s light makeup.

Place the toast on a tray, place a soft-boiled fried egg next to it, and today’s breakfast is complete.

-Wasak

When I take a bite of the crispy toast, the light sweetness of strawberry jam comes out along with the texture of the toast.

After slurping what was in my mouth, I took two sips of milk.

“Phew.”

While drinking milk, I remembered the chat I sent to Hana yesterday and squirted a little out of my mouth.

I looked it up on the Internet to see if it was a meme that didn’t exist in this world, and it seemed to be used here too.

Hana is an internet broadcaster, so she probably knows this meme. It must have been shocking that a man over 40 wrote it so fluidly.

I thought about blocking him because I thought he might be a bit annoying on KakaoTalk, but guess what? There has been no contact yet.

It could be that they don’t send it because they think I blocked it.

It doesn’t matter what happens since I won’t be the first to contact you anyway.

When I pressed the center with a fork, it burst and the yolk came out.

I lifted the fork to my mouth, put an egg on the remaining toast, and took another bite.

I have no intention of ending revenge, which is not revenge against one person, like this.

I plan to harass him as timidly as possible.

For example, like yesterday, she donates a large amount of coins to BJ, her competitor.

What else could there be? In addition to coins, it seems that a lot of money and goods were given privately, and I wonder what will happen if these are cut off.

If she even opens her hands to me because she is struggling financially, I promise to treat her as humiliatingly as she did.

– Wagjak

With that promise, I stuffed the last piece into my mouth and gulped down the milk.

Now, it’s time to go exercise.

***

Myeongseong Building, where Garam Fitness Center is located, is a 20-minute walk from my house.

It was close enough to drive and an awkward distance to walk, but I boldly chose to walk.

My old PT trainer told me that coming to the center was part of the workout.

Anyway, if you have time left, you can burn at least 1g more fat if you walk a little more like this.

“Heo-eok… Heo-eok…”

His body must have clearly lacked exercise, but he was already out of breath when he arrived in front of the Myeongseong Building.

This is serious…

Since I couldn’t catch my breath during our first meeting, I caught my breath in front of the building and then took the elevator.

Why don’t you go up the stairs?

shut up.

The elevator arrived at the 6th floor, and I stood in front of the center in a dark atmosphere.

The lights, which had reached the end of their lifespan, were emitting very faint light, creating a gloomy atmosphere.

At this rate, all the customers who wanted to come will run away.

I need to talk to Hocheol and tell him to fix the lighting.

When I pressed the door button, the automatic door rattled open.

There was a desk right in front of the door, and it appears that new members were registered there.

Out-of-date dance music was playing loudly in the center, and I wandered around the center looking for the owner.

There was no sign of anyone else in the center other than me.

Even though it’s morning time, there aren’t too many people…

As Hocheol said, it is on the verge of ruin.

“Are you there?”

I went out to look for the bulky man, but I couldn’t find him.

– Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap

However, I heard a clanging sound from where the rack was placed in the distance, so I walked in that direction.

“Oh….”

A woman wearing an Adidas three-stripe sweatshirt and tight tights was doing squats while wearing a large headset.

“How many sheets? One, two, three…”

Four 20kg plates on each side. A total of 8. So, a woman doing squats while holding 160 kg (not including bar weight)…

Originally, I decided to watch in silence as it was a sight I had never seen before in the world.

The woman took a breath, held it, and slowly lowered her body.

After her hips went down sufficiently, she raised her body without recoil.

once.

twice.

third time.

Even from a distance, you can see that the buttocks and thighs are contracting and relaxing very well.

After moving a total of ten times, the woman put the barbell on the rack, looked around, and made eye contact with me.

“Ah…”

I was caught stealing. If the woman felt ashamed, I would have been put behind bars.

Moreover, he is a middle-aged man with a pot belly, and he is in perfect physical condition to avoid misunderstandings.

While I was wondering what to do, the woman took off her headset and came towards me.

It must have been a long time since she dyed her hair, so the top of her head was black.

“Hello. By any chance, did you come to register a new person?”

While I was waiting for her to say, “Why were you looking at me?” she said something out of the blue.

“Uh… he’s new… but that Hocheol…”

When I mumbled out Hocheol’s name, the woman tilted her head for a moment, then opened her eyes wide and pointed at me with her finger.

“Ah… Ah!!! president! Hello!”

A woman greets me energetically, bending her waist 90 degrees.

This was the first meeting between me and Mr. Garam.
