Health points: 1200.

Sex points: 400.

It was a considerable reward.

On top of that, Ye-seul, who had a high level, was able to register as an official member.

She gained a lot from this PT session.

With 1000 health points, she could raise the health shop level by one step.

And she still had 200 points left.

“Well, the only items I can buy are gym clothes anyway.”

It was clear that if the shop level rose to 2, additional items could be purchased.

“So let’s raise it in advance.”

I purchased the health shop level up.

[Purchasing shop level up.]

[Shop level rises from 1 to 2.]

[Additional items are available – Changing room.]

[Excluding promotions, shop prices are discounted by 15%.]

[One free text promotion service.]

The discount rate increased significantly more than anything else.

“To buy items in the shop in earnest, the level has to be quite high.”

To raise the next shop level…

[Shop level up – 5000 HP]

Astounding.

But wait a minute.

A changing room appeared as a new purchase item.

I’m already using my game room as a changing room, but I can still make a purchase?

[Changing room: Purchase points 5100 HP (15% discount)]

[Additional space]

[You can create a changing room at the desired location. The house’s area will increase. When purchased, the gym level will increase.]

“Wow.”

Is this how it’s supposed to be raised?

A difference of 100 points from leveling up.

Let’s think about whether to level up or buy a changing room later after collecting points.

After all, the items that can be purchased right now were not necessary.

So, let’s focus on Ye-seul who is right in front of me.

[Hwang Ye-seul]

[Member level – 5]

[Hwang Ye-seul’s temporary PT has ended.]

[Satisfaction survey.]

[Customer name: Hwang Ye-seul]

[Review 1: Exercising without clothes on was embarrassing, but I did it.]

[Review 2: I went a little far, but I wasn’t caught, right?]

[Review 3: Exercising with Mi-ju and Jae-ho sunbae seemed too provocative.]

[Return rate – 100%]

[Official membership registration completed.]

I registered properly.

I continued a brief consultation with Ye-seul while Mi-ju went to wash up.

It was to schedule future PT sessions.

“We will be exercising three times a week from now on. I’ll schedule it according to the available days, so just know that.”

“Yes, sounds good.”

Ye-seul nodded up and down.

“But what about the payment?”

“Oh, you don’t have to pay. I’m still learning.”

Mi-ju and Ha-dae-young were teaching without taking any money.

Adding Ye-seul wouldn’t make much of a difference.

“But that’s not right!”

“Huh?”

“You must take the money! If a skilled senior like you doesn’t take it, I’ll feel sorry.”

Ye-seul was actually angry.

She didn’t like the idea of not taking money.

“Um, how about 30,000 won per session?”

I suggested a reasonable amount in response to Ye-seul’s fiery reaction.

Honestly, I didn’t know how much trainers usually charge, so I just threw out a random amount.

“Most trainers charge 50,000 won per hour. In my opinion, you should charge more than that.”

After thinking for a moment, Ye-seul pointed her index finger.

“I’ll give you 100,000 won per hour.”

“I don’t even charge Mi-ju. That’s too much money…”

“Then think of it as splitting the cost with me and Mi-ju.”

“Um… are you sure? It’s not a small amount.”

I’m fine with taking money.

But when money is involved, responsibility comes with it.

It means I have to be more attentive than I am now.

“It’s okay. I’m in a position to earn money. I’m actually making quite a bit.”

“…Okay. Let’s do that.”

“So, if we exercise 12 times a month, three times a week, for an hour each time… that would be 120,000 won.”

120,000 won.

It was definitely not a small amount of money.

I wondered if it was okay to accept 1.2 million won even though I didn’t have any qualifications for it.

“Would it be okay to accept it if there’s a system and hypnosis involved?”

I thought to myself.

Yes, let’s not reject what is offered and just accept it.

I just have to work harder to make it worth it.

“Okay. I’ll work hard so that the money won’t be wasted.”

“Just having you do what you did today is more than enough for me.”

Yesol flashed a satisfied smile.

“Ah, feels refreshing.”

Miju, who had finished showering, came out while drying her wet hair.

The only thing covering her body was a long towel.

Between the precarious towel, the curves of her large chest and waist peeked out.

Standing between Yesol and Miju, she asked.

“What are you two talking about without me?”

The still-damp hair strands shone under the fluorescent light.

“It’s about registering for the gym membership.”

“Oh, Yesol, are you planning to register too?”

“Yeah, I think I can trust you as a senior.”

Miju’s response was lukewarm.

A slightly awkward nod.

What could be bothering her?

But soon, such doubts faded away.

“That’s great!”

Miju clapped and smiled.

“Your skills are amazing, oppa.”

“Oh, right.”

Yesol belatedly clapped as if she just remembered.

“Senior, do you have any thoughts on making money through photos?”

“Huh?”

What kind of talk is this?

***

“Ha ha ha, nice to meet you. Mr. Choi Jaeho. I’m Kim Hosu, the CEO of Rollang Entertainment.”

“Ah, nice to meet you.”

I exchanged greetings with the friendly smiling CEO Kim Hosu.

“I heard from Yesol. You want my photos?”

“Oh, of course. I saw the photos you took last time, and they were really amazing. The ordinary phone case photos came out like artwork photos, and at that moment, I felt, ‘Ah, this is the person.’”

Seems like a talkative type.

“Is that so?”

“Of course! Whether it’s using light, utilizing the subject, or using focus to emphasize the subject… Ah! I fell in love with Mr. Jaeho’s photos at first sight.”

“Is that right?”

“Do you have any photos of people as subjects?”

“I do have some, but…”

I took out my iPhone.

“Are these photos also taken directly with a phone?”

“Yes, all these photos were taken with this iPhone.”

“Oh, even more tempting.”

I recalled what Yesol had said.

“Mr. Kim seems genuinely interested in photos, so if you show good photos, he’ll offer good conditions.”

Yesol had gone as far as to become the subject herself for the portfolio.

The photos I’m about to show Kim Hosu are exactly that.

“Yesol… right?”

“Yes. She agreed to be the subject, so I took a few shots.”

“Hehe, this is truly amazing.”

Yesol, sitting by the window with a moist gaze, looking outside, as if she could be in a magazine photo shoot.

With a good model, even without any special skills, the photos turned out beautifully.

“The potential I’ve felt from Yesol so far seems to have exploded in these photos.”

Kim Hosu seemed already captivated by the first photo.

“Oh.”

“Wow.”

“This… you took off the mask? You were too shy to take off the mask before.”

He exclaimed with admiration at each photo that came out.

And then.

“Who is this woman?”

“Oh, it seems she was saved separately.”

Miju also wanted to take a few shots, so I took some.

The fresh charm of Miju was fully captured in the photos.

It was a completely different charm from the calm Yesol.

While taking photos of Yesol, she asked me to take a few shots of her as well.

I thought I had saved them elsewhere.

“Her appearance is amazing. I feel like making her a star account.”

After admiring the photos for a while, Kim Hosu took a deep breath.

“I had a feeling, and it’s true. Amazing.”

“Could you handle Yesul’s profile picture and star photos for a while? We will provide sufficient compensation. Of course, you will only be in charge of Yesul for now, but you will be able to work with more stars in the future.”

“Stars?”

“Yes, you will be able to directly shoot YouTube stars, influencers that Jaeho has only seen on TV, and even celebrities.”

“Celebrities?”

“Yes.”

After finishing speaking, CEO Kim Hosu opened the profile.

“Our company represents YouTube stars and celebrities. We may not be a large company, but we also work with potential celebrities.”

The profile that the CEO handed over was filled with remarkable people.

YouTube stars with a million subscribers, famous model Lee Bitna, indie singer Eunhasu, and more.

The number of celebrities under Roland Entertainment was surprisingly large.

“Are all these people really under your management?”

“Yes. Of course, not immediately, but I believe it will be possible soon once Jaeho’s skills are recognized. Oh, and don’t worry about the schedule. We will adjust to Jaeho’s schedule.”

“You have a high opinion of me.”

“Of course. The photos Jaeho took really impressed me.”

Kim Hosu spoke so strongly that it seemed like he was spitting out saliva.

“I will pay you well. I can provide more than enough!”

“Hmm…”

I stroked my chin.

“You mentioned excellent treatment?”

“Of course! You won’t receive this amount anywhere else! You can trust us!”

I looked at the price Kim Hosu offered.

Honestly, I was surprised.

They would pay this much for my photos?

I started photography as a hobby.

I didn’t think it was my path and stopped in the middle…

But I had no intention of backing down now.

I heard that it’s important to negotiate a bit in times like this.

“Hmm…”

“Is there something on your mind?”

“No. I’m just reading carefully.”

“Haha, I see.”

Contracts should be handled carefully.

I reviewed and double-checked several times.

When I was sure.

“Alright. I look forward to working with you.”

“Haha! I knew you would accept! I look forward to working with you!”

“Yes.”

I shook hands with Kim Hosu.

It was a good deal.

A perfect deal where no one blushed.

Kim Hosu hesitated for a moment and asked me.

“By any chance, can you also shoot videos?”

***

Returning home felt daunting.

Ding!

A new alarm rang.

“3 official members have registered. Now the user is a confident trainer.”

“I will give you one tip for such a trainer.”

A tip?

The system had never directly given me something like this before.

Perhaps because there were now 3 members, the system was quite proactive.

“How to gain health points and sex points at the same time.”

Health points and sex points at the same time?

I remember gaining both points during my PT sessions with the girls.

I earned quite a lot of SP even though I didn’t have sex with them.

What’s going on?

Does it give something good?

“Make the members feel ashamed while doing health activities.”

“The more embarrassed they are, the more SP will increase.”

“Wait a minute.”

People who were hypnotized and became official members of the gym considered undressing as a natural act.

Make them feel ashamed?

Is that possible?

“If you’re a trainer, I believe it’s possible.”

What is this…

And then, the doorbell rang.

“Ding dong!”

“Jaeho sunbae, it’s me. Yesul.”

Yesul had come to my house.
