“Hey, stop staring at me. You pervert.”
“Hey. I’m not looking at you because I want to see you. If you’re dressed up like that, everyone will look at you.”
I could feel Ji-bin’s gaze glancing at me from the side.
It wasn’t an overt, blatant glance, but I could still feel his gaze.
I felt embarrassed but also secretly good when I received his gaze.
At least Ji-bin seemed to find my body attractive.
Of course, I would never show it on the outside.
…But no matter what, I’m still embarrassed.
Ugh.
I grabbed the outer hem of my jersey and tried to cover my body.
I thought that my body would be a little less visible to Ji-bin.
When did I start working out?
It was when I was a YouTuber trainee.
The CEO, who had been in the broadcasting industry for a long time, gathered the third-generation members like me and said this.
“It’s not mandatory, but it’s good to exercise at least once.”
“You’re still trainees, so this is about it, but when you debut, your body will change, right?”
“The broadcast time is usually at night, so your daily routine is ruined, and once you turn on the broadcast, you have to keep going for hours at a time.”
At the time, I was a sparkling rookie trainee, and I listened to the CEO’s words carefully.
The CEO, who was looking at my passionate eyes, smiled cutely and continued his advice.
‘Affection comes from stamina. You guys?’
‘Talking and communicating with people for hours on end, and playing games or whatever, may seem easy to some, but.’
‘Among those countless viewers, there are some who talk nonsense, and some who intentionally try to tease you. There are so many different types of people, right?’
‘In order to maintain the broadcast tension without being shaken by such things and not getting tired, stamina is not an option, it’s a must. It’s a must.’
Advice from experience.
As someone who has watched internet broadcasts for a long time, I indirectly knew about the hardships of broadcasters.
The occasional chat window, viewers who suddenly rush in, long broadcast hours, and disruption of daily routines.
And the obsession with sound and content that only broadcasters know.
I even heard that corporate streamers like us have to record music and do additional work.
So honestly, it was obvious that it would be difficult to rest.
Even though there were regular breaks, there was a high possibility that I would have to work on my days off.
So I strongly recommend that you exercise, and if you feel a little burdened by the money!
‘If you tell your manager, the company will support the cost of exercise.’
It’s an entertainment company’s job to take care of creators’ physical strength.
The company even supported the cost of exercise.
After hearing that, I started exercising right away.
I also wanted to be a model trainee who listens to the boss well.
…Well, even without that, who doesn’t like free stuff?
It’s already been over a year since I started exercising like that.
My body, which used to be a soft and fluffy baby bear, has now gradually become more slender.
My muscles have filled in, and my hips, chest, and stomach lines have become firm and sexy.
My flab has disappeared, and my jawline and other lines have become sharp.
I would be a little embarrassed in front of girls, but I could show off my body.
But it’s a little…embarrassing…ugh…embarrassing to be glared at like this by a guy I like!
“I told you, these aren’t fancy clothes! Why have you been acting all this time? Look at other people. They’re all the same.”
“…Excuse me, but there’s no one else?”
“Miss… Why are there no women? Seriously.”
I looked around the gym, but I couldn’t see a single woman.
All I could see were a few men running on treadmills in the distance.
…This would just lead to unnecessary misunderstandings.
Seriously.
For Ji-bin, who had never worked out before, the clothes might have been a bit provocative.
I was a little surprised when I first saw them too.
The leggings were so tight that they completely covered my legs, and the bra top only covered my chest, which was too revealing.
That’s why I should have stopped being such a stickler for gear…
I guess I can’t help it when it comes to leggings because they absorb sweat and are see-through.
Honestly, I thought this bra top was a little too revealing.
Unlike Ji-bin, I didn’t have anyone to help me when I started working out.
Since I didn’t have anyone around me who worked out, I had no one to ask.
So I started working out on my own by searching the internet…
I have a habit of putting on my equipment before doing anything, so at the time I bought my clothes without knowing much about working out clothes.
So I heard somewhere that a bra top that covers less area is more comfortable than one that covers too much.
I’m embarrassed to say that I bought this because I heard that somewhere…
If I had bought something cheaper, I could have exchanged it.
As befitting the name “equipment addict,” I wanted to buy something good to pass on.
I still couldn’t throw away this workout clothes that I bought for a pretty high price.
“Anyway, that’s not it. Don’t get me wrong. Why are you trying to seduce a man? Are you crazy?”
“Um…ah…I understand.”
Ji-bin smiled as if he realized it.
Was he finally understanding?
But Ji-bin is a kind-hearted person…
“It’s a little like that? Why is it that even in mobile games, the more exposed a female character is, the higher their defense power is?”
“…”
“So the more exposed your gym clothes are, the higher your fitness level evil!”
“Shut up, shut up. Don’t understand. Just think whatever you want. You pervert.”
I growl and step on Ji-bin’s front toes to shut his mouth.
Ji-bin, who acts as if he’s discovered buoyancy and keeps talking nonsense, decides to ignore him.
Ji-bin used to look at pretty girl illustrations with me and laugh.
I already knew that he was a gentleman at least to a certain degree.
That’s why I didn’t even think about this level of nonsense.
After the commotion passed, Ji-bin came into the gym and was looking around.
He asked me as if he didn’t know what was going on.
“So? What should I do now?”
“What should I do? I should exercise.”
“Are you T? I know that too.”
Honestly, I didn’t know what to do either.
I brought Ji-bin here to seduce him.
With the support of my company, I received personal training for a few months and created a workout routine.
But because of that, I didn’t really know how other people should exercise.
Then Ji-bin asked me, “How did you get started?”
“Me? I started with a personal trainer?”
“Then you should know a little bit. I can just teach you what that person taught me.”
“Oh… That’s a bit weird. I’m a personal trainer and I learned from a female trainer.”
“But? Is there a difference?”
“She only works with women, so she didn’t explain the courses that men do.”
“..”
“Usually women have weaker muscles, so she makes lines and focuses on strength and weight.”
“But?”
“But men have weaker endurance and recovery, so I think she said it’s better to start there… Honestly, I don’t know.”
“So in the end, I don’t know. Is that it?”
“…..Yeah.”
She felt a little embarrassed when I brought her here and told her I didn’t know anything.
But that’s how everyone starts.
Each person has different goals for exercising and different physical conditions.
She said that it’s necessary to adjust accordingly.
But if things continue like this, Ji-bin might lose interest in exercising.
So I’ll start by telling you about the exercise I’m doing.
“Anyway, today isn’t anything serious. Then, should I start by telling you about the course I’m doing?”
“Okay.”
“Okay. Then let’s just try it out slowly and get a taste. Today.”
That’s how the somewhat sloppy gym experience began.
“The beginning and end of the workout is cardio. So we’ll start with the treadmill first.”
Yu-ah confidently said that.
I nodded my head roughly, looking at her clothes that I still couldn’t get used to.
Was her clothes weird?
Was I the weird one?
I had been fighting with myself and my worries in my mind since earlier.
…No, what was so good about that chubby body in the first place?
Yu-ah wasn’t a woman with the beauty of a mature woman.
So she didn’t have pockets big enough to sneak a peek at while passing by.
She didn’t have hips that were obviously attractive to anyone.
That’s probably why I also usually treated her like a friend.
It would be hard to treat someone with such a feminine body as just a friend.
But.
Am I crazy…?
Did I go crazy after sleeping for one night…?
But now, what should I say?
I couldn’t figure out why that small, ripe, and luscious body like a young apple caught my eye more.
Well-defined legs and firm hips revealed by leggings.
And a slim stomach and a slender waist.
And a beautiful apple-like chest with the right balance of chest and fat.
I had never thought about it or imagined it before.
The fact that her body felt like a woman’s body shocked me.
“Hey! Yoon Ji-bin!”
“Huh? Huh. What?”
“Why are you spacing out? I explained it to you so carefully. What did I just say?”
“Huh…? Didn’t I say you were going to ride the treadmill at the beginning?”
“Not that. What did I say after that?”
“….Hmm.”
I don’t know.
I didn’t hear a single thing because I was thinking about something strange.
Yu-ah said she knew it would happen and clapped her hands in concentration before saying to me,
“What are you thinking about? Anyway, I’m telling you not to push yourself too hard at first.”
“Really? How long do you do it?”
“I do it for 15 to 30 minutes.
You shouldn’t even do that much.
If you push yourself too hard at first, you’ll lose all your strength.”
She glanced at my weak body and said dismissively.
…This kid?
Yeah. I’m a piece of shit like anchovies.
But I had pride as a man.
“…In my opinion, you should just run for five minutes.
Since it’s your first time.”
“Five minutes? Only five minutes?”
…It’s scratched.
It’s really scratched.
You’re treating me like a piece of shit who’ll collapse in five minutes.
This piece of shit hikikomori succubus in the corner.
But Yu-ah didn’t take back her words one bit.
“Don’t take this lightly. You’d be out of breath if you ran for five minutes right now, right? I was like that at first, too.”
“Hey. Honestly, it’s not that bad. You’re being too pushy. Right now.”
“No. I’m telling you, seriously?”
I couldn’t stand her serious remarks like she was treating me like water anymore.
I seriously challenged her to a duel.
“Just run for five minutes. I think you can run for 15 minutes.”
“…Huh? Really?”
“No matter what, I’m a human, so I have that much stamina, right?”
“Oh… is that so…?”
At my confident words, Yu-ah thought for a moment and then smiled sinisterly.
“Then let’s make a bet. You run with me for 15 minutes and I win. Then I’ll buy you dinner after you finish exercising today.”
“Then what if I lose?”
“If you lose, you have to buy it. But there’s no limit on the amount.”
“No limit on the amount…?”
I cringed slightly at Yu-ah’s confident statement without realizing it.
If there’s no limit on the amount, then how expensive are you going to eat…
However, Yu-ah must have noticed my frightened appearance as she smirked.
“Are you scared?”
She asked me that.
With a crack in my chest, I blurted out whatever I had said.
“What are you scared of? Call! 15 minutes? It’s just cheap dinner.”
‘…I should have known then that it was my fault.’
