Bang!

I closed the door without even realizing it.

What is this?

What’s going on?

The system message saying it’s a promotion and the word “trial session” popped up in my mind.

It must be because of that, right?

The guest who said they were coming to the gym.

[Starting trial session 1.]

I still looked at the system message in front of me.

So this is the gym trial session.

And that woman came here because of this gym trial session, right?

“Haha, haha….”

The random message that popped up.

And the woman who came right on time.

I doubted once again if this was not a hilarious prank different from the status window I saw in novels.

And on top of that, didn’t the muscle pain I had while exercising just disappear all at once?

No matter how advanced modern technology is.

“It wouldn’t have developed this much.”

Even if there is a technology that I don’t know about.

I’m not a celebrity, and I wouldn’t use such sophisticated technology just to make fun of ordinary people.

I looked outside through the lens attached to the door.

The woman who came to my house was still standing outside the door.

A bewildered face.

It clearly wasn’t a gym, it looked like a normal house.

To think of such a place as a gym, and to have such a natural expression!

If that was acting, she would have won the Academy Award for Best Actress.

“Alright. Let’s pretend to be fooled and give it a try.”

I opened the door.

Creak.

“Excuse me.”

“Trainer, are you not open for business today?”

“Yes, yes?”

“I heard it was a newly opened gym, so I purposely came to find it.”

“That, that’s….”

I hesitantly opened my mouth.

“That, we are open…. We are open.”

I blurted out.

I blurted it out.

Well, since I’ve come this far, let’s enjoy it once.

“Come in.”

I guided the woman inside, and she came in fearlessly.

“It’s still narrow. You haven’t properly opened yet, right? The equipment… that’s all there is?”

The woman’s eyes turned to the gym equipment placed in a corner of the living room.

Dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells, and a slide.

Although there were gym equipment in the living room, it was clearly a normal house.

“To think of this as a gym even after seeing this.”

As I was thinking that.

“Where is the changing room?”

“Yes?”

“You have to change your clothes. You can’t exercise like this.”

“Oh, right….”

I nodded my head absentmindedly.

Exercising in a white shirt was ridiculous.

“You can change here.”

I opened a door.

Among the two rooms, it was the game room with a computer.

A room full of comic books and game CDs that I had collected as a hobby.

It was embarrassing to show it to others, but it was better than opening the bedroom.

“The changing room is spacious?”

However, she acted as if she didn’t see those books and CDs.

As if this was the real changing room.

“Is there a mirror?”

“Oh, here.”

“Thank you.”

The woman took the mirror and went inside.

“Is this for real?”

I couldn’t believe that a woman was changing clothes in our house.

Just that fact made my heart beat faster.

Countless thoughts came to my mind.

How should I accept this?

Even the word “trial session.”

“Oh. Let’s not think about it. Thinking too much will only make my head hurt.”

For now, let’s just follow along with what that woman is doing.

Understanding the situation can come later.

How much time has passed?

Creak.

The woman who went in to change clothes opened the door and came out.

She was wearing purple leggings and a white tank top.

“Wow.”

The elastic buttocks and slender legs visible under the leggings.

‘Wow.’

My mouth fell open.

I couldn’t find a place to look, so I unconsciously averted my gaze.

“There may not be a lot of equipment, but we have to make do with what we have.”

“Is that so?”

“But why are you so embarrassed?”

“Yes?”

“You’re a peculiar trainer.”

Hehe.

The woman who lightly laughed started stretching.

“Oh, by any chance, could you help me?”

“Yes?”

“Stretching. Can you help me a little?”

“Oh, how can I help you?”

“Just press lightly.”

After finishing her sentence, the woman sat down on the floor.

Sitting with her legs straight, she extended her legs while sitting.

Is this yoga?

Her body was incredibly flexible.

The pelvic bones, commonly referred to as the Y-zone, were prominently visible.

“Please.”

It’s not harassment or anything, right?

It should be fine since she asked for it.

I placed my hand on the woman’s shoulder, hiding my anxious heart.

Thump thump.

Calm down, my heart.

Don’t give away my nervousness.

“Hoo, hoo.”

I calmed down my racing heart.

It was gentle.

Ding!

[Starting the assistance program.]

A manual on how to assist with stretching appeared in front of me.

“Hoo.”

As the woman relaxed her strength as per the manual, I gently pressed her shoulder.

Wow.

She was so flexible.

I even thought that a person’s waist could bend this much.

“Hoo.”

After loosening up, the woman took the cat pose and stretched her waist.

Her toned body was impressive.

My gaze was captivated by her well-defined core muscles.

Sweat formed on my hands as they touched her body.

Time flew by in the blink of an eye as I assisted with stretching.

I felt dizzy.

The only thing that remained in my memory was how soft the woman’s skin was.

“Haha, it seems like the trainer is having a harder time.”

“Ha, ha. No, not at all.”

It’s not hard at all.

Or, maybe it is.

No, it is exciting.

“Well, now that you’ve stretched, I was thinking of doing some light weightlifting… Why can’t you get up?”

“Oh, no, it’s nothing. Haha.”

I awkwardly laughed, pointing to my lower body.

Just the touch of the woman’s body gave me the strength to stand up.

I was already standing, but I couldn’t move.

With the East Sea and Mount Baekdu.

I sang the national anthem in my head, trying to focus.

“Take it slow with your workout. Let me know if you need help.”

I blushed at the rising embarrassment.

“Okay.”

The woman nodded and picked up the barbell.

A typical squat position.

Bending her knees without lowering her hips.

With each descent, the contours of her hips were clearly visible.

I was captivated by the beautiful curves.

I’m going crazy.

Just as Soojung regained her strength after struggling to calm down, our eyes met.

“Oh.”

I involuntarily shook my head.

Should I say something?

Is it weird to look at her so intensely?

All sorts of thoughts crossed my mind.

“Was my posture off by any chance?”

“Excuse me?”

“I learned squats on my own. It must have looked a bit off when you saw it, right?”

“No, it was fine.”

Even I, who had only seen it in videos, could tell it was a great posture.

“Really? Can you help me correct my posture then? Since you’re already here.”

“Uh, should I?”

My head was spinning.

I recalled the squat posture I had seen on YouTube.

Remembering vaguely what the trainer on YouTube had said.

“Well, I’ll help you for a moment.”

I struggled to calm down(?) and stood up.

“Please.”

“Is it okay to touch…?”

I helped with stretching just now, and there was no issue with touching, right?

So, it should be fine.

“Try to correct your posture like this.”

I placed my hand on the woman’s waist.

“One… two…”

Recalling the posture I had seen in the video, I corrected the woman’s posture.

My face felt like it was on fire.

“Do you understand?”

After adjusting her posture a few times, I removed my hand from the woman’s body.

“You’re doing a great job. It’s really helpful with the trainer’s assistance.”

The woman who had finished speaking began to focus on her workout.

Sweating profusely, she continued her strength training using kettlebells and dumbbells.

She spent over an hour doing stretching and strength exercises alone.

That kind of workout really gives you that kind of body.

She exclaimed in admiration.

“I want to do some cardio too… It’s a shame. The equipment hasn’t arrived yet, right?”

The woman asked, wiping sweat with a towel.

She was already wearing clothes that accentuated her figure.

However, the sweat-soaked clothes clung to her body, exuding a strange charm.

The sweat beads on her exposed belly were impressive.

“Y-yes?”

“When we officially open, I’ll have to come back. The trainer is so helpful.”

The woman, now with a refreshing smile after wiping off the sweat.

“But… where’s the shower room?”

“Excuse me?”

“I think I need to wash up a bit.”

“T-the shower room?”

I reflexively pointed to the bathroom.

“T-there’s only this one here.”

“Oh, the dressing room is a bit far.”

“T-that’s right? It’s like that here. Haha.”

I scratched the back of my head.

How should I handle this if it’s not a gym to begin with?

“Thank you. It’s my first time, so I don’t know the layout well.”

The woman entered the dressing room.

She came out of the dressing room with toiletries and underwear.

It’s good that she came out, but…

“Why are you naked?”

“Excuse me?”

She came out into the living room without a single piece of clothing on.

I shouted, covering my eyes.

“Quick, put some clothes on!”

“What are you talking about? It’s common to go from the dressing room to the shower room naked.”

I could only blink at the absurdity of her words.

“What a strange person.”

The woman casually walked into the shower room.

Splash!

The sound of water could be heard.

“Just now… she was definitely naked.”

The image of the woman’s naked body was vivid in my mind.

“Why didn’t I find that strange?”

Could this be… some kind of hypnosis or something?
