Chapter 39 – … Who Are You?
Talking about drugs all of a sudden?
Steroids were such a famous drug that even he had heard of them a few times. It is also used for therapeutic purposes, but it was also famous for being used for doping for muscle building.
“Steroids? Isn’t that a drug? Like growth hormone.”
“Right. The two are different, but they are drugs used to build muscle anyway.”
Why are you suddenly asking this?
For a moment, Seo Ju-hwan was surprised and said.
“Ugh. Are you taking medicine?”
“What?”
“Did your body grow with your brother’s medicine?”
“No man! I’m 100% natural, asshole!”
Baek Kang-ho, who was in vehement denial, walked through the headlock.
“Kek keek. Brother, I’m dying. Tap tap.”
“Oh sorry. Bewildered.”
“Coke. No, why are you panicking and putting on a headlock? If you panic twice, I’ll catch you….”
“Uh. I’m really sorry. Anyway I didn’t do drugs, man. I am in my 20th year of sports.”
“I see. But why are you asking all of a sudden?”
Baek Kang-ho hesitated for a moment before speaking.
“If there is anyone around you who recommends medicine, don’t do it.”
“Suddenly?”
“The health industry is kind of like that. There are places like Ribbon Fitness that operate cleanly, but… In places like Yangachi, the gym sometimes recommends medicine. Real bastards don’t explain properly and sell them as effective nutritional supplements.”
“… Is that lie real? All of those drugs have side effects.”
“Really. Surprisingly, there are many people who buy when recommended. The effect is clearly visible. So I’m telling you to be careful too. Usually, people who have just started exercising are more likely to fall into it.”
“Her….”
Seo Joo-hwan was taken aback and let out a laugh.
He seemed to have heard about drugs, but he didn’t know that there would be a company that was even secretly arranging them.
He shook his head and replied.
“I never do. If you do that, the peppers will get smaller.”
“What?”
Baek Kang-ho, who blinked his eyes, said with a mischievous smile.
“What’s the use of getting bigger muscles and getting smaller? It has peppers and muscles. You know my goal is fashion muscle, right? He’s the guy who works out to seduce that woman.”
“Heh, heh, heh,haha. Stupid bastard, really. Did you start exercising to seduce women?”
Seo Joo-hwan giggled and nodded his head.
The main reason, of course, was health. Whether he was a writer or a painter, if he lived as an artist for a long time, it was easy for him to get damaged somewhere, such as his back, neck, or wrist.
However, the purpose of seducing a woman was also to some extent sincere.
This time he asked.
“Then why did you start exercising?”
“Ok? What to ask, of course.”
“Yes?”
“I also started trying to seduce a girl. Kww. Maybe half of the gym people started because of that? Later on, I was just addicted to exercise.”
“Phehe. But did you achieve your goal?”
“Purpose?”
“Did you make a girlfriend, which was the original purpose? Hyung-nim’s face is a bit scary, but there are women who only look at the body.”
“See what this kid is saying? Do you want to spar at a doubles club near you?”
“Haha. There is no other man as handsome as a man.”
“Night, son. And man, what kind of girlfriend is your girlfriend?”
“Oh, did you fail?”
“What are you talking about? Didn’t I tell you that I’m married?”
“… Yes?”
Seo Joo-hwan tilted his head to one side and narrowed his eyes.
What, did you hear wrong?
Baek Kang-ho said with a puzzled expression.
“You talked to Hyeri just fine.”
“Hyeri? Are you Hyeri Lee?”
“Mr. Pak. Mind. What is Hye-ri to my sister-in-law?”
“No, what. Are you two married?”
Seo Joo-hwan couldn’t keep his mouth shut in absurdity.
I feel sorry for Baek Kang-ho, but he and Lee Hye-ri didn’t get along at all. Baek Kang-ho, a muscle monster bandit with a shaggy beard, and Lee Hye-ri, who has a neat charm. No, I mean, how much is the difference in age?
He ended up getting beaten up.
“… Brother, no matter how mature you are, it’s hardly a crime if you’re over ten years old… 100 million!”
“Hyeri is two years older than me, man!”
Baek Kang-ho slapped him on the back of the head and shouted out loud.
Nonsense, that’s a two year age difference? Even Lee Hye-ri is older?
It was even more shocking than the fact that they were married.
“Considering the face value, it’s at least ten years old….”
“Wanna die?”
“Sorry.”
I apologized right away. When I looked up and glared at him, there was no gangster.
Anyway, it was the most shocking fact after returning from this year’s experience.
*
The two finished their cigarettes and went back into the store.
Inside, drinking was still going on.
However, the atmosphere is a bit odd.
It wasn’t as noisy as before, but it looked like they were having a discussion while exchanging drinks with serious expressions.
“No drugs. If you take it wrong, you’ll get hooked?”
“Yes. I heard that there is a guy around me whose dick is the size of a pea because he sucked the wrong steroid.”
“There are people I know who have experienced side effects after taking diet pills that are not sold on the market. At first, I liked that I lost weight, but later on, I gained 20kg.”
“Oh, I didn’t gain weight, but I was told I was hallucinating. What was it You said you didn’t take the appetite suppressant well.”
Steroids, appetite suppressants, and some drugs were talking about bad cases like a relay.
Confused, he sat down and Lim Soo-hee looked at him and said,
“Juhwan-ah, you should be careful too. There are not one or two people who have regretted trying their hand at wanting to build a body.”
“Yes? Me?”
Seo Joo-hwan panics when he suddenly becomes a target.
As he was about to reply, Baek Kang-ho, who was sitting next to him, scratched his cheek and opened his mouth first.
“I’m sorry, but I already told you everything outside. Joo-hwan won’t do drugs for him.”
At those words, the table became quiet for an instant.
“…….”
“…….
The people at Ribbon Fitness looked at each other in silence.
‘What is this situation? Oh, please….’
The guess was confirmed.
Soon people were laughing awkwardly.
“Uh. Mr. Kangho, what do we do if we talk outside first?”
“Haha. Sorry.”
“This is true. I’m disappointed. I’m sorry, Student Juhwan.”
“Anyway, you don’t have to worry. When I scoop this guy, the peppers get smaller, but he’s the guy who asks me why I’m taking medicine or something.”
“Go, Kangho hyung?”
Embarrassingly why are you saying that here!
Before he could say that, his eyes flew from here and there. How about a specific part?
“Oh.”
What is the mother? Lim Soo-hee was staring blankly there, covering her mouth with one hand. Next to her was Lee Hye-ri, who was smiling shyly and awkwardly, but also lowered her gaze.
‘These ladies….’
Embarrassed, Seo Joo-hwan turned his attention to Lim Soo-hee. Lim Soo-hee, who was looking at him with grim eyes, avoided his gaze with a pity.
“Sister, should I tell you what’s going on?”
“Ahaha. That’s it. Hoho.. Juhwan-ah, I’m sorry!”
Lim Soo-hee put her hands together and prayed.
*
“Hmm. So I wondered if my body was growing so fast that I was using drugs? Is that why you brought me here to scare you by talking about drugs?”
Saying that, Lim Soo-hee waved her hands.
“Doubt. I was worried, worried.”
“This or that?”
“Not different! I believed Joo-hwan that you wouldn’t. It’s just because you never know what’s going to happen next.”
“So you mean you didn’t believe me after all?”
“Ugh.”
In the end, Lim Soo-hee slightly lowered her head as if she had nothing to say.
Seo Joo-hwan smiled at her and looked at her.
I wasn’t particularly angry. It was something he did because he was really worried in the first place, and he thought the way she chose was okay.
I couldn’t openly ask if I had taken drugs, and I couldn’t do a drug test as a gym director. So, in order to scare them about the medicine, they called them to their seats and listed all sorts of side effects.
‘Actually, I’m suspicious.’
3 to 345 came out in two months of fitness. Even though it wasn’t that big in the first place. It was not unreasonable to be concerned that he might have been using drugs.
Seo Joo-hwan shrugged his shoulders and made a gesture saying that it was okay. Then Lim Soo-hee’s face brightened, and the others laughed and spoke.
“Haha. I’m sorry, Student Juhwan. Doesn’t that feel bad?”
“It’s okay. They just accept that my talent is genius, well.”
“Puhaha. Nucksal is good too. Actually, this isn’t the first time. I’ve actually caught a few people using drugs.”
“Ugh. Really?”
“Okay. Just like before, you lined up the cases of side effects, and you said your complexion was blue?”
It seems that he already had a track record of catching some drug users. In fact, from Soo-hee Lim’s point of view, it didn’t matter whether they used drugs or not, but at least Ribbon Fitness didn’t want to accept drug users as members, she said.
It was because Lloyders sometimes broke the will of natural athletes, and in the case of really bad quality, as Baek Kang-ho said earlier, they even sell through mediation.
Anyway, when Seo Joo-hwan went over without incident, everyone got excited and started drinking again.
It was a time when I was drinking to die, giving and receiving.
The eldest Kim Dae-seop pointed at Seo Ju-hwan and shouted.
“Where did you say you saw it! Joo-hwan is you!”
“Yes? Did you see me at the gym?”
“Not that! Is this you?”
He puts his cell phone in.
On his phone his, his face his before he lost weight appeared in a large image.
It was a video of catching and interviewing the killer.
The Ribbon Fitness members, who had been eating and drinking loudly, quietly focused on the video. Eventually, when the video ended, people looked at him with surprised eyes.
Come to think of it, at the Anyang branch, no one recognized me because I had lost weight.
When she glanced at Lim Soo-hee, she cast a fierce dori-dori as if she hadn’t spread it herself.
Baek Kang-ho looked at him with bell-like eyes and said.
“Juhwan-ah, did you catch the murderer? He was a great guy, huh?”
“Haha… For some reason.”
Kim Dae-seop, who showed the video, suddenly stood up with a bottle of soju and beer.
“Kyaa! I didn’t recognize the national hero! I’ll pour you a drink!”
“Yes?”
“What? Sleep!”
It is not good for Baek Kang-ho, who is over 190cm tall, but Kim Dae-seop is also a huge owner with a 3:570. At the sound of his shouting his, Seo Ju-hwan quickly took the soju glass.
Kim Dae-seop clicks his tongue and says.
“Tsk. Not that, but a beer mug!”
“Yep.”
Bringing the beer glass up, he pours soju into it.
The soju bottle, which had more than half a bottle, was almost empty, and at the end, beer was added and carefully poured.
The ratio was 9:1.
Kim Dae-seop, who finished making alcohol, said with a bright smile.
“Young kids these days call this honey wine, right?”
Sir, that’s not it….
*
I don’t know how long the booze will last.
Two hours have already passed.
Seo Joo-hwan drunk like crazy because of the suddenly revealed interview video. Some people drink it without getting tired.
“Kyaa, student Joo-hwan drinks well!”
“Do you think Joo-hwan drank the most right now?”
“Is that so? Hey, it’s true! Then have another drink!”
In the meantime, Seo Joo-hwan, who was awake, was clearly drunk. He had already drunk three cups of Kim Dae-seop-style honey, but he was still alive.
Baek Kang-ho, who took the 『Hangover Remedy (candy type)』 Earlier, drank like a hippo, saying that alcohol goes well today. Of course, the alcohol returned to Seo Joo-hwan.
Like a relay, he continued pouring alcohol, bumping glasses with Kim Dae-seop, Lee Moon-seok, and Baek Kang-ho.
In the middle, I also bumped into glasses with Lim Soo-hee and Lee Hye-ri.
Lim Soo-hee was smiling, probably drunk, and Lee Hye-ri was smiling silently with a blushing face.
I drank until dawn like that.
Exactly… What time was it?
“Ugh!?”
Seo Joo-hwan suddenly stood up from his seat.
“Ugh.”
My head hurts from how much I drank.
When he came to his senses and looked ahead, it was not a house.
“Where is here…?”
It’s dark because the lights are off.
First of all, I think it’s a bed because the seat is soft and feels….
“Yes.”
I heard a woman’s voice beside me.
… Who are you?
