chapter 122
122 – 44. Exercising with My Girlfriend Before Enlisting -2
28-year-old fitness trainer, Hyeonho Lee, a gym enthusiast.
He went to the gym without a care in the world, finished his daily routine, and showered. With no favorite games or girlfriend, his work was the most important thing to him.
After exercising, he sent a message to his PT clients at the office and came out to find the part-time receptionist calling out to him in a low voice, flustered.
“Oppa, oppa! We have a new registered member who’s a big deal!”
“What’s going on? Is it a celebrity?”
“It doesn’t seem like a celebrity… but they’re really crazy!”
“Is it a woman? Don’t tell me if it’s a man, I don’t want to know.”
“It seems like they’re going to apply for PT, and they even did a thorough investigation before coming in.”
“No, that’s not the same! Where, where is this customer?”
“Oppa, take a look. We’ve been assigned to the locker room, so let’s change our shoes… Ah, I’m coming out!”
“But what’s with that reaction…? Huh?”
Lee Hyeon-ho couldn’t continue speaking.
As he saw the two people, a man and a woman, coming out of the locker room almost simultaneously, he was speechless.
It wasn’t just that; he could feel that most of the members were stealing glances at that person.
Even though it was a time when most people focused solely on their workout routines and didn’t pay attention to anything else.
“Wow…”
But he could understand this atmosphere.
“Will I be the only one receiving PT?”
“I don’t need it. I don’t like strangers touching me, and I’ll just run while you’re doing it.”
“Will you listen to my song?”
“If you know it, record it quickly. We need to fill an hour’s worth of content.”
“Hmm… Maybe I’ll persuade Jung-woo hyung to come with me soon.”
“We don’t need a duet. Just let your voice come out.”
“What about us doing a duet together? We can record together?”
“…One song should be fine.”
The two people chatting in front of the wall mirror.
The man was ridiculously handsome, and the woman was extremely beautiful, but it wasn’t just that.
What drew people’s attention was, without a doubt, that stunning platinum blonde hair.
A hair color that couldn’t be found in native Koreans, paired with porcelain skin and blue eyes.
And even though he was wearing loose training clothes, his amazing physique was still noticeable.
Whenever he caught sight of him, he would look again, and when he looked again, the perfect beauty of that exotic part would add up to create a stunning visual, making everyone stop their workout and stare.
The current atmosphere had become like that.
“He’s ridiculously handsome…”
Lee Hyeon-ho understood, and he too was captivated.
It was impressive that he spoke Korean fluently, but he could understand that he might have grown up in Korea from a young age.
Moreover, that part was even more charming. There was no language barrier, after all.
But.
Even if he had fallen for him at first sight, it wouldn’t be strange, and soon, the man next to him caught his eye.
And he acknowledged it.
“I’ve lost.”
He had lost.
Anyone could see that he was handsome. Even the part-time desk worker was quietly squealing about how handsome he was.
But what caught Lee Hyeon-ho’s eye even before that was the perfect physique visible even under his T-shirt.
Consistent and sincere workouts were equal for most people, but there was still inequality.
Inherent differences like shoulder width or body proportions.
There were people born with beautiful bone structures. While others could correct theirs through exercise, people like him would be left in the dust if they exercised too.
As Lee Hyeon-ho, who was focused on that aspect as a typical gym enthusiast, acknowledged his defeat…
“Are you going to take a shower when you get home?”
“I came to this nearby place, so I’ll do it.”
“Then I’ll go back and fill the mini bathtub with water right away. Want to get in together?”
“Hmm. Do you know the water temperature?”
“Is it hot or lukewarm? You know, you know.”
Their whispers were audible amidst the quiet atmosphere of the health club, which was unusual compared to the usual bustle.
“I’m so envious… haha… exercising is the best, but…”
Lee Hyun-ho felt an overwhelming sense of envy, a pang in his chest that seemed to be crumbling.
Still, he had to do what he had to do.
“Yoon-ju, I’ll take care of those people…”
“…….”
“…Even if you look at it that way, you’re not my man, so just stop.”
“Heh heh…”
Lee Hyun-ho started to tear up, overwhelmed with envy.
Honestly, people who registered at the health club and actually worked out consistently were few and far between, so it was hard to tell how hard he would try.
But if he had the will to do it, he was determined to give it his all.
Not exercising with a body like that was, to Lee Hyun-ho, akin to a crime.

Eli’s 100% serious plan to help me get into the army had begun, but we were still a passionate couple after more than 10 years.
So, before registering at the health club…
“Are you not going to wear something that clings to your body?”
“Why, do you want me to wear it?”
“I absolutely don’t want you to wear it.”
“How about at home?”
“Want me to bring you leggings? I haven’t seen them in a while.”
“Mm-hmm.”
“I’ll put them on you.”
“Will you put them on me?”
“First, take them off. Can you lift your legs?”
“Not now. Let’s go shopping first and buy clothes to wear to the health club. Something that doesn’t show off your figure.”
“As a couple?”
“Do you keep asking obvious questions? Get ready. We’re going out.”
“Yes.”
Using that as an excuse, we went on a date, bought new couple training outfits, and when we got back home, Eli put on leggings, which he hadn’t worn in a while, along with recent purchases like short pants and dolphin pants.
“Eli, why did the color of the leggings change?~”
“…Be quiet.”
And naturally, we had s*x again.
After spending such a sweet time together, we finally registered at a nearby health club that Eli had searched for and found to have good reviews and facilities.
“The three-month registration fee is…”
“I’ll do it for a month.”
“Yes. Then I’ll help you with the payment for two people for a month.”
I was thinking of trying it out for a month and then deciding.
I also received counseling to get a PT. Luckily, the trainer had some free time, so we could have a quick conversation.
“Ah, is it for the ACFT?”
“Yes. So, I want to focus on deadlifts, is that possible?”
“Yes, that’s fine. If you learn the warm-up exercises and posture correctly, it’ll be okay.”
“I’m relieved… I’ve never been to a gym before, so I had no idea what to expect.”
“Each member has different conditions, so some people might find it difficult, but in your case, your base is excellent… and you have enough muscle mass.”
The trainer’s words, which were filled with confidence and trust, made me feel at ease. Their body was also toned and beautiful, which made me trust them even more.
“If you’re at this level, you can learn everything in just one PT session. You can even do 65kg now, so…”
“But don’t you think I should get a PT anyway?”
“Yes. I think it’s essential for your safety, especially since you’re new to this. If you do it wrong, you might hurt yourself badly.”
“Ah, I see.”
“My friend prepared for the ACFT before, and honestly, if you just pass the ACFT, you don’t need to do much here. In fact, the physical test in Nonsan is even harder. Deadlifts are easy once you learn the posture, so it’s good to learn it.”
“I see…”
“And do you know this? There’s an event called ‘throwing’ in the ACFT, and it’s surprisingly difficult. Some people don’t even know how to do it, so they get penalized. I can give you some tips on that too, since I learned from my friend.”
“Really? Thank you so much!”
The trainer’s serious face and honest words made me feel a bit intimidated, but they were actually very kind.
Eli also nodded in agreement, seeming to appreciate the trainer’s honesty.
“Okay, then. Since we’ve already registered, let’s focus on learning the posture and building our endurance for the remaining period. We can even go running together.”
“Sounds good?”
I was relieved that it wasn’t as intense as I thought it would be. Now I can focus more on my English studies.
I decided to take the trainer’s advice and get a PT for my safety, since I might hurt my back if I do it wrong. If I hurt my back, I’d be sad, but Eli would be devastated.
As it turned out, the trainer had some free time, so we started the workout right away.
“Okay, let’s start with the warm-up exercises…”
***
“I’m going to die…”
“Is it hard?”
“It’s incredibly hard. I think I’ll have muscle pain all over my body tomorrow.”
I spent an hour doing the warm-up exercises and learning the deadlift posture. After that, I took a short break and received some tips, and even did some extra exercises. When I got back, I was exhausted.
It seemed like I was using different muscles than usual. I guess this will get better with time.
When Eli and I first had s*x, I had some muscle pain too, but now it’s almost unnoticeable since we do it every day.
I’ll get used to it.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.”
“No, I’ll do it. If I’m too tired, it’ll be even harder.”
“Okay, then.”
I dragged my tired body to the bathroom. Then, I filled the mini bathtub I bought during my Busan trip with water.
Meanwhile, Eli gathered my clothes and underwear and put them in front of the bathroom door.
“I-do-yun, take off your clothes. Let’s do the laundry before we shower.”
“Okay.”
Eli told me to put the showerhead in the bathtub and take off my clothes. I did as she said, carrying my clothes to the washing machine while naked. Eli was also taking off her clothes, heading in the same direction.
-Swoosh
And just like that.
I took off the last piece of clothing I was wearing, my panties, and slowly pulled them down.
“…….”
Her backside was incredibly s*xy. I was certain that I wouldn’t be able to get tired of Eli’s peach-like buttocks for the rest of my life.
I felt like I could die happy, buried beneath her forever.
“Eli, over here.”
“Give it to me. This needs to be washed separately… and these can be washed together.”
Eli skillfully sorted the laundry and put it in the washing machine.
After she stood up, I quickly wrapped my arms around her waist.
Her skin was slightly sticky due to sweat, making her even more alluring. I hugged her body, feeling her curves.
Her breasts were so large that her legs were hidden from view as I gazed down at her body.
I could feel my libido, which had momentarily disappeared during our workout, rising again.
I whispered in her ear.
“You must be tired from running for over an hour. Let me wash you.”
“Hmm… I’m tired?”
“You know how important it is to wash your body. You have to do it even if you’re tired.”
“Heh.”
-Etc.
I kissed Eli, who was smiling and chuckling, and we headed to the bathroom together.
