“Hamshik really likes sweet potatoes.”

We peeled a sweet potato and divided its moist flesh into pieces to eat little by little, so it was a little less.

Hamshik didn’t do that. He peeled the skin and ate the golden flesh without fear. And yet he ate the sweet potato like it wasn’t hot at all.

Last time you grabbed something hot and screamed. Is it because you’re starting to build up tolerance now?

A jaw that moves without rest. A cheek that bulges and then gradually shrinks as sweet potatoes are put in.

I thought maybe you put it in your mouth first, chew it little by little, savor it with your tongue, and then swallow it.

Aside from the fact that it was hot, I began to wonder anew where all that went.

I didn’t really care about it until now, but after seeing what I ate yesterday, I started to get curious.

“Jihyun-ah. Where does all that Hamshik-i eat go?”

I thought that it might not be surprising that a small person like me could eat that much.

So I asked Jihyun without much expectation. Surprisingly, Jihyun explained it to me in a calm tone.

“The higher the intelligence of an individual, the higher the percentage of energy consumed by the brain. Since Hamshik is smart, it must eat a lot. And since the brain uses sugar as an energy source, it is natural for Hamshik to eat a lot of things like rice and bread. It is also likely that he would like sweet potatoes because they are very sweet.”

“Oh. As expected, Jihyun is smart.”

You should be praised for solving my curiosity. It’s like asking a question on a fingerprint answer portal site and paying a price.

It was also fun to watch Jihyun’s face blush every time I complimented her, as if what she knew was nothing special. Isn’t she cute?

“I like sweet potatoes too! I’m smart too!”

“That’s right, the color changer is smart too!”

Anyway, the fact is that Hamshikki is consuming everything he eats. Now that I know that, I feel bad for always teasing him by calling him a pig.

Hamsik is also a sensitive woman, so she would be very upset if someone said something about the food she eats.

… … Oh, come to think of it, I never really called it a pig. That’s fortunate, though. But I did have a tendency to rub its belly fat.

“Uh… … . But Jihyun-ah. Don’t you think Hamshik should exercise more? If it’s like you said, Hamshik shouldn’t gain weight… … .”

That’s true. Lately, when Hamshik rubs his belly, it seems to be tighter than before. I lowered my voice so that Hamshik couldn’t hear.

Jihyun also answered carefully accordingly.

“Yeah. But not all the nutrients you eat are consumed at that moment, and they are stored as fat. That’s why I was trying to exercise at the same time. Because we ate a lot during the Lunar New Year.”

“Hehehe, I ate enough to roll around.”

I get it. In the end, Hamshik is destined to exercise with us.

It is important to store nutrients in your body so that your brain can access them at any time, but it is also true that gaining too much weight is not good for your health.

If there was one thing I was lucky about in my past life, it was that I wasn’t fat.

Since I only ate healthy foods, I had no time to gain weight. And since I couldn’t digest them well, I didn’t eat much.

In the end, the point was that Hamshik had to exercise for his health. If he did it alone, he would not have fun, so we did it together.

Eventually, Hamshik finished all of his share of sweet potatoes and slowly started to sneak up on the sweet potatoes we were eating.

Still full, I gave my share to Hamshik and said:

“Hamshik-ah. Let’s eat this and exercise together. Okay?”

As always, Hamshik didn’t answer. But I usually listen to these kinds of stories. I trust Hamshik.

Well, it’s not really much of an exercise. I don’t think a hamster can lift dumbbells or do things like bench presses.

Hamsters are naturally crawling, so things like push-ups wouldn’t be effective.

But that’s what the hamster wheel is for in times like this. If you cheer them on from the side, wouldn’t they work harder on the wheel?

After Hamshik and the other Hamjeokdan friends had finished eating all the sweet potatoes, I lifted Hamshik up by his waist.

“Okay, Hamshik. Let’s just do the hamster wheel together for 30 minutes. After that, I’ll shower and Hamshik can go play. I’ll go make Min-i-cheo too.”

“Kkiiie.”

Hamshik made a noise that sounded like he was annoyed, but he didn’t struggle or resist.

Anyway, he must have been feeling the need for exercise. When your body gets heavier, it becomes difficult to move.

As soon as we arrived at our small house, I put Hamshik down in front of the hamster wheel. Hamshik let out a sigh. It seemed like he was quite tired of exercising.

“Hamshik-ah, it can’t be helped even though it’s annoying. If Hamshik-ah wants to live a long and healthy life with me, he has to exercise.”

Still, Hamshik was moved by my sincere persuasion and slowly approached the hamster wheel.

Okay, Hamshik. I’ll keep the wheel running like I promised. Oh, it wasn’t a promise, was it? I did say it unilaterally.

Anyway, I was touched that Hamshik listened to me. I always do things for his own good, but you finally listened to me!

“Uh… ….”

But the way Hamshik turned the wheel was strange.

When you say you’re on a hamster wheel, you usually get inside it and run around like crazy.

But Hamshik just kept spinning around on the wheel like a cat that was just trying to unroll toilet paper with its front paws.

Well, it would still be exercise. Whether you run or spin like that, would the energy used to spin the wheel be the same?

I tilted my head several times, wondering if that was even exercise.

“Hmm, isn’t that how you ride a hamster wheel… … ?”

Jihyun also found Hamshik’s appearance strange and carefully brought it up, but Hamshik didn’t listen to what we said and just kept turning the wheel with his front legs in turns.

With a shameless expression on his face, he says he keeps his promises.

“Anyway, exercise is exercise, so it’s ambiguous to say anything… … Jihyun, should we just leave it at that for now?”

“Yeah, if you move your body a little bit it’ll help anyway. It’s better than just sitting still.”

It’s not like we can force Hamshik to put him on a wheel and make him move his legs. In the end, we decided to compromise at this point.

You already listened to me. That’s not all it took.

But there was a youngest who was more reckless than us. A guy who could push the shameless Hamshik like a bulldozer.

“Oh, that’s not how you ride it.”

The saxophonist grabbed Hamshik by the back of his neck and threw him into the spinning wheel.

“ Eeee

At at

Eh, eh, eh

Ki e e e

Ah, ah! ” Ah

At at

Eeee

If he had started to turn it with his own power, it would have been different. Hamshik, who was placed on the already spinning wheel, just kept spinning around inside it.

“Eww, Hamshik! Saekmoose, you can’t do that! You might get hurt!”

“It’s okay, you won’t get hurt. Hamshik is amazing!”

“Eww, Hamshik-ah!”

It was ridiculous to see him say such things so innocently. Right now, rescuing Hamshik was a priority over educating Saekmusae.

First, I had to slow down the hamster wheel. But Hamshik was spinning the wheel so fast that I was sucked in the moment I reached out to stop it.

“Eeeek!”

“Keeek!”

Now Hamshik’s screams are no longer spinning around. I’m spinning around with Hamshik too!

As the colorist said, it didn’t hurt or anything. However, it wasn’t easy to get up. Apart from the strong centrifugal force, I felt like I’d get hurt if I stood up and rolled over.

Hamshik is probably scared and can’t move right now. It’s okay. I’ll crawl. Follow the hamster wheel. I’ll meet Hamshik on the other side of the diameter and rescue him.

Because I’m Hamshik’s older sister!

I started to move with a sense of mission and slowly, slowly, walked towards Hamshik.

Hamshikdo stopped crying and looked at me with tears in his eyes.

Was he scared? Or was he touched that I came to his rescue?

Anyway, no older sister would be happy to see her younger sister cry. We have to hurry and save Hamshik!

First of all, crawling to the hamster diet was a success. This wasn’t difficult, but the next step was the problem.

Stopping the hamster wheel or escaping. Which is more likely and will keep us safe?

If you escape from the wheel like this, you might end up crashing into the cage at the same speed you were spinning around at.

If you just throw a stone with your hand, it won’t fly that far, but if you tie a string to it and spin it around before throwing it, it will fly incredibly fast.

If you get bounced out like this and hit the cage, it’s going to hurt a lot.

If so, the hamster wheel must be stopped. But how?

“Namina, Hamsik! Roll up!”

At that moment, Jihyun’s voice was heard outside the hamster wheel. It seemed like there was some way.

Trusting that voice, I covered myself with Hamshik and curled up into a ball. Surely, when the hamster wheel stops, we too will roll around in it!

“That’s it!”

“Okay, don’t release that pose until I stop! You might get hurt!”

At that moment, crunch. There was a sound of something being stuck in the wheel. At that moment, Hamshik and I hugged each other and started spinning around in the wheel.

“Eeee.”

I felt like a hedgehog rolling around picking up onion rings.
