Thump thump.

Her heart kept pounding.

Don’t be nervous, heart.

I’m all set.

I practiced over and over again for the American exercise training.

How to continue the exercise routine, how to teach the exercise.

Of course, I’m just a newbie in the gym.

But I had a system.

By finishing the basic exercises yesterday and today, I earned an additional 20 points.

Exercise is still tough, but at least my hands don’t shake with just 5kg dumbbells.

“It’s a great improvement.”

It was all thanks to the system.

There are reinforced equipment and plenty of other equipment.

Even though it’s far from a professional gym.

Compared to a regular home, it was quite different.

The appointment time was almost up.

It’s time to go now.

Ding dong-.

“Oppa, I’m here.”

It was Miju.

“Phew.”

Don’t be nervous.

Stay calm.

I took a deep breath and opened the door.

Creak.

Miju stood in front of the door.

She didn’t seem overly dressed up, but it wasn’t a casual style either.

It was a more active look.

“How do I look? I tried to look healthy since we’re going to the gym today.”

“Oh, yeah, it suits you.”

“Oppa, are you ready? You said you would introduce me to the gym.”

“Oh, well, that’s… um…”

I forced my mouth to open and speak.

This is the gym I mentioned.

That’s our house.

Just one word.

“Here.”

“Yes?”

“This is the gym I mentioned.”

“Oppa… your house? You said it was a gym?”

As soon as I finished speaking, Miju looked puzzled.

And.

[Starting trainer program.]

As the system appeared, Miju’s eyes slightly blurred.

After a moment of staring blankly at me, life returned to Miju’s eyes.

“That’s right! You said this was the gym! Why am I like this? Of course, it’s a gym. Haha.”

She recognized my house as a gym without any suspicion.

“Come in. Let’s start with a consultation.”

“Oh, okay.”

Miju entered.

“It’s not as spacious as I thought for a gym.”

“Well, it’s a one-person gym. We’re still preparing, so we don’t have a lot of equipment yet.”

“A one-person gym? Is there such a place?”

“Uh, yeah. It’s a new place. It focuses on individual care.”

“I see…”

A one-person gym.

What a ridiculous excuse.

I felt so stupid that I wanted to curse myself for saying such things.

Yet Miju.

“I see. It makes sense that focusing on one person can be more effective!”

She clapped her hands in agreement.

Now she had a look of understanding.

I don’t know what she figured out.

[Satisfaction level increased.]

Huh?

Why did the satisfaction level increase?

I don’t know.

“Anyway, would you like to come in?”

“Oh, yes.”

Miju took off her shoes and entered.

Phew.

It was the second visit.

Yet, I still wasn’t used to a woman entering my house.

“But where is the trainer?”

“Oh, well…”

Ahem.

I took a deep breath.

“I, I’m the trainer.”

“Jaeho Oppa? What about the person who manages you?”

“Oh, that person…”

Since I couldn’t say it was the system.

“They have some circumstances, so they decided to only take care of me.”

“I see. So Jaeho Oppa will take care of me?”

“That’s right.”

I nodded up and down.

Even though there were holes in my logic, Miju nodded.

This is the power of the system.

Every time the system’s power was activated, Miju’s eyes slightly blurred.

“I see.”

“Shall we start the consultation? What kind of exercise do you want?”

“Oh, yes.”

I brought out a chair and had Miju sit down.

“Where do you want to make corrections?”

…I asked, but I already knew.

[Kang Miju]

[Member Level – 2]

[Follow Trainer Jaeho’s advice without any doubt.]

[Worry 1 – Emerging belly fat]

[Worry 2 – Body correction to match large breasts]

[Recommended exercises – Ab workouts, body correction massage]

[Recommended equipment – Sit-up board, yoga mat]

[Satisfaction: 10/100]

As soon as Miju entered our house, the status window appeared.

From the beginning, the status window showed her current condition and recommended suitable exercises.

“Wait, let me try to figure it out.”

“I-Is that possible?”

“O-Of course. I have a good eye for these things.”

I narrowed my eyes as if examining Miju for a moment.

“Looks like the belly fat is a big issue, right? You also want some body correction.”

“Gasp!”

Miju’s eyes widened as she instinctively covered her stomach with both hands.

She squatted down and looked up at me.

“D-Did you see that?”

Miju’s face turned red as she spoke.

It was a piercing expression.

“It shows sometimes.”

“My, my stomach?”

“No. It’s more like, this person needs this kind of exercise. Something like that.”

“Oh… That’s interesting. I thought Jaeho oppa was someone who just worked out and built muscles.”

“Right. I was surprised too. Didn’t know I had this talent.”

I chuckled coolly.

If the system counts as a talent, then it is.

“It seems like you can see that in oppa. Honestly, I was surprised. So, what kind of exercise do I need?”

Miju showed interest.

Having correctly guessed once gave her deep trust.

She blinked her eyes and pondered.

[Satisfaction increased.]

“Hmm.”

I pretended to ponder.

In reality, Miju’s exercise plan was already set.

Sit-ups using a sit-up board.

Barbell squats for lower body correction.

And even a massage on the yoga mat.

This should help with her desired ab workout and body correction.

The massage was a personal desire.

“Today, we’ll start with sit-ups, then squats, and finish with a massage on the mat.”

“So, should I call you Trainer now?”

“Just call me comfortably.”

“Yes, Jaeho oppa. I’ll leave it to you.”

Miju smiled brightly.

A cheerful smile like the sunshine.

“Change into this outfit, the changing room is over there.”

“Got it.”

I handed her a yellow gym outfit I had prepared in advance.

Just like last time with Yoo Hana, Miju entered the game room without any hesitation.

“Well done.”

The conversation went smoothly.

I was worried she might stutter or hesitate during the introduction, but we managed to avoid that crisis.

The big hurdle was crossed.

Swoosh.

I heard the sound of changing clothes.

“Oppa! Is this outfit okay?”

Miju shouted from the dressing room(?).

“What’s the problem?”

“Well, the outfit is a bit big.”

The outfit is big?

How big could it be?

As I wondered, Miju came out of the room.

A loose yellow gym outfit.

Miju, wearing the short-sleeved gym outfit I had prepared, awkwardly crossed her arms as if embarrassed.

Why?

The question didn’t last long.

The gym outfit was indeed too big.

It was loose enough to reveal her shoulders.

I thought it was just a little big.

But it was far from fitting her.

“Sorry. We don’t have many sizes available yet.”

“It’s okay. It’s understandable since you recently opened.”

Despite the size issue, she didn’t change.

She wouldn’t take it off because I told her to wear it.

[Satisfaction decreased.]

Sigh.

My heart ached.

Each satisfaction point was crucial.

“Well, let’s just start the workout since we can’t help it.”

“Okay.”

“Put on these shoes for the workout. It’s a service for my first client.”

“Oh, really?”

Mi-ju’s face turned pale as she looked at the running shoes in front of her.

The expression that had just turned sour over the gym clothes issue returned once again.

“Try them on once. They’ll fit your feet.”

She knew the shoe size perfectly well.

She had seen her size multiple times while working part-time.

If only she had checked the clothes size back then as well.

She was regretting it now.

“Wow, they fit perfectly!”

Mi-ju smiled widely as she moved her legs around, examining the shoes.

“I was originally planning to wear sneakers. Oh, thank you so much, oppa.”

“Ahem, shall we do a quick stretch before we start?”

“Oh, yes!”

Stretching was essential to prevent injuries.

“Watch me closely and follow along. If you’re unsure about anything, ask.”

“Yes.”

I loosened my muscles.

I stretched my arms, gently pressed my knees, bent my waist, and stretched my body.

Mi-ju also followed along with the exercises.

Pulling her arms, pressing her knees, bending her waist…

“Ugh.”

I couldn’t help but look at Mi-ju stretching.

As she bent her waist, her loose clothes slipped down, revealing her collarbone.

Two large peaches hidden inside her clothes.

‘Beige color?’

For a moment, I felt like she wasn’t wearing any underwear, creating an optical illusion.

In an instant, my gaze was drawn to Mi-ju’s collarbone.

Her collarbone was clearly visible even under the sports bra.

How big would they be if she took off that sports bra…

Snap!

I slapped my cheek to snap out of it.

‘Get a grip.’

That’s not why you called her over.

It’s Mi-ju.

Mi-ju, who works at the same barbecue restaurant.

This is not right.

So, pull yourself together.

Slapping my cheek down, I looked back at Mi-ju.

Snap!

Mi-ju, who was following my lead, slapped her own cheek.

With a slightly absent-minded expression.

“Huh?”

She must have followed along because I told her to, right?
