Chapter 42 – Episode 42
On the way to the gym.
I used KakaoTalk while walking.
[Ayoung Choi: I decided to have a meeting with an entertainment company tomorrow.]
[Ayoung Choi: I looked for it. I heard that if you sign a contract with an entertainment company, you can receive a studio and a computer.]
[Ayoung Choi: Well, we should share the profits instead.]
[Ayoung Choi: Jinseong oppa, will you watch it if I broadcast it?]
[Ayoung Choi: Emoticon]
Choi Ayoung seems to have decided to try broadcasting.
However, since she is short of money, she seems to be planning to do it with an Center.
[Me: Good. Congratulations^^]
[Me: Broadcast? Of course. I will watch it whenever I have time.]
[Me: Ayoung, I hope you do well. I hope it will be a great success.]
A reply came 30 seconds later.
[Ayoung Choi: Hehe, Jinseong oppa, thank you for congratulating me 〉〈]
[Ayoung Choi: If I do well, I will buy you a lot of delicious food]
[Ayoung Choi: Did you get off work by any chance?]
[Me: I got off work. Going to the gym.]
[Me: You?]
[Me: Are you working part-time?]
[Ayoung Choi: ㅜㅜ Very sadly]
[Ayoung Choi: ㅠㅠ I’m working part-time.]
[Ayoung Choi: I want to call my brother]
[Ayoung Choi: I can’t do it because I’m working part-time]
[Ayoung Choi: I’m busy, so I’ll just leave.]
[Ayoung Choi: Fighting exercise!!! Fighting!!!]
[Ayoung Choi: Emoticon]
[Ayoung Choi: Emoticon]
[Me: Yes, thank you for your hard work^___^]
[Me: Emoticon]
I also had a KakaoTalk chat with Hong Jae-gu.
[Me: Jae-gu, I heard that a younger brother I know is signing a contract with an entertainment company and starting an in-room entertainment company? Do you have any good tips?]
[Hong Jae-gu: Huh? Tips? There is nothing special about the lintel. All you have to do is be pretty, attractive, or good at games.]
[Hong Jae-gu: Huh? Enter? Why do you press enter? Not doing it individually? It’s not very good if you press enter. If you sign a contract with a rogue company, you will suffer a lot, and viewers will not like the entertainment company very much.]
[Me: Ah? Is it so? I see.]
I arrived after chatting with Hong Jae-gu on KakaoTalk.
[Me: Thank you. Thanks to your advice, it helped me a lot.^^]
[Me: Thank you. When will I buy you a meal?]
[Me: I arrived at the gym. I’m going to dive for a while.]
I measured my body weight.
’73 kg.’
Thanks to working out hard.
I fell steadily today as well.
I did some stretching before exercising.
As meticulously as possible.
I stretched out my joints.
‘Hmm?’
I looked behind.
‘Lim Jun-ho?’
Our eyes met.
Lim Jun-ho’s face and eyes were full of bitterness toward Jin-seong.
[Inner thoughts: Wow, 170 people are coming.]
[Inner mind: Jjintta, this body will go to 210 soon.]
[Inner heart: Damn you, do you think Hayeon will see you as a man just because you work hard every day? That sounds absurd!]
[Inner thoughts: I create a nice body and end up seducing Hayeon.]
In Lim Jun-ho’s inner thoughts.
Jinseong’s eyes became bitter and cold.
‘This bastard that looks like Bisil…’ A guy who looks like a cow…’
My anger rose.
‘I’m trying to find a bitch… To the subject who is an asshole who can only score 200 on the map…’
I clenched my fist.
‘I… I… Sincerity… That fish grows muscles faster than a baby. It grows overwhelmingly.’
I bit my lip tightly.
They are.
We glared at each other for a long time.
‘I won’t leave you alone.’
[Inner mind: Search and repeat.]
※※※
Jinseong got on the treadmill.
Beep.
I pressed the start button. The treadmill started working. I walked slowly.
Beep.
I heard the sound of the start button being pressed next to me.
Jinseong inadvertently looked to the side.
I couldn’t help but be embarrassed for a moment.
‘Lim Jun-ho.’
The person using the treadmill next to him.
It was Lim Jun-ho.
He smiled bitterly.
[Inner heart: I will show you how superior I am to you.]
It was a question.
You’re going to show me what’s superior, right?
‘Ugh.’
We’ll see.
I repeated walking -〉 times, running -〉 times, and walking -〉 times at 3-minute intervals.
When he walked, Junho Lim walked, and when he ran, Junho Lim followed him. As he lightly quenched his thirst, Lim Jun-ho also quenched his thirst.
Lim Jun-ho imitates Jin-seong’s actions.
‘Ha?’
Only then did I understand Lim Jun-ho’s intentions.
‘Bisil bastard… I’m exercising… They follow the same example.’
By following.
Lim Jun-ho’s intention was to show that his physical specifications were much superior.
‘Oh, well, I’m so dizzy and my nose is stuffy…’ It’s really not even funny…’
It was just absurd.
It was extremely childish.
‘Motherfucker, let’s do this, right?’
Jinseong’s eyes burned brightly.
[Inner mind: How far can a weak-willed idiot run?]
[Inner thoughts: Haha, my greatest strength is running.]
Lim Jun-ho was extremely relaxed.
He handled running with ease.
30 minutes have passed.
[Inner mind: Oh? Is it pretty?]
Lim Jun-ho was still relaxed.
40 minutes have passed.
[Inner mind: Running for a long time? How long are you going to play?]
Lim Jun-ho’s breathing was slightly disturbed.
50 minutes have passed.
[Inner intention: Are you planning to fill 1 hour?]
My breathing became somewhat rough.
1 hour has passed.
Jinseong ended the treadmill.
I stopped running.
“Ha… Ha…”
Jinseong’s breathing was quite calm.
On the other hand, Lim Jun-ho’s breathing.
“Huh… Haha…”
It was extremely rough.
Let Jinseong do push-ups.
[Inner mind: Push-ups? It’s gum.]
Lim Jun-ho also did push-ups next to him.
It was the 30th time.
I was able to follow along without difficulty.
[Inner mind: Buffy? It’s gum.]
[Inner thoughts: Do you want to do it about 100 times?]
But it was a big mistake.
At first, I followed burpees with a light mindset.
I was confident that I could easily follow along about 100 times.
“Huh, huh, huh, huh…”
Episode 99
“Huh, huh, huh, huh…”
100 times.
[Inner mind: It’s finally over!]
100 sessions was a lot. I thought Jinseong would stop. I thought I would stop. Furthermore, I had no doubt about it.
But I couldn’t help but be shocked.
[Inner thoughts: Oh, you crazy?! Do more?! Episode 100 is not the end?!]
[Inner mind: Ugh, I can’t lose. I can’t lose to a bastard.]
Burpees continued.
Surpassed 150 episodes.
[Inner heart: Save me. Please. Stop! Stop burpees! Buffy is the devil! Buffy is hell!!]
Surpassed 200 episodes.
[Inner heart: Please, please let it be the end. Wow?! Oh, no! Wow, this isn’t the end?! Crazy damn!!!]
Surpassed 250 episodes.
[Inner mind: Crazy guy… Crazy guy…]
The focus has become blurred.
Lim Jun-ho’s face is bright red. I feel like my breathing is slowing down.
It seemed like he was going to die in a difficult situation.
Reached 300 times.
[Inner heart: …]
Lim Jun-ho was mesmerized. He seemed like he was going out for lunch.
He regretted it later. He was not imitating Jinseong. I did it out of curiosity, but it ended up falling apart.
I sat down.
“Eat it.”
Jinseong handed over a paper cup. It was lukewarm water.
I didn’t want to take it out of pride, but his throat was so dry.
I accepted the paper cup.
“Crazy… Really crazy bastard…”
When I saw Jinseong jumping rope, I couldn’t help but give him ‘high praise’.
It was defeat.
That too was a complete defeat.
‘I thought the 170-year-old was a hottie… My stamina is amazing…’
※※※
‘It’s hard.’
I finished the exercise.
‘I’m going to die.’
It became green onion kimchi.
‘I did it.’
When I finished the hard workout, I felt indescribably proud.
The sense of accomplishment was no joke.
‘Jinseong, you did really well. I had a hard time exercising. It was amazing. ‘Good job.’
I praised myself. I admitted it. It was comforting. Encouraged.
‘Hehe, I defeated Lim Jun-ho. I trampled the bridge of his nose flat.’
Felt good. I was really glad I won.
If we had lost, pride would have been meaningless.
I took a shower.
‘Now, I can buy items in the bathroom and go meet Hayeon.’
I sat on the restroom in the bathroom.
I purchased 6 good-looking items, 1 hair, 1 lucky cookie, 1 small chance random box, and 1 vitamin.
Taking the item.
I was satisfied with the change.
I opened the small chance random box.
‘Gacha gazua.’
An item has appeared.
At that moment, Jinseong’s expression hardened.
[Misfortune Diary]
It was a very unpleasant, extremely filthy, dark red book reminiscent of something soaked in blood.
‘I’ll have to check.’
A misfortune diary is an item that shows the unfortunate future of oneself or others.
I opened my misfortune diary.
I confirmed the contents.
[Misfortune Diary]
[Page 1]
[Myungho collapsed from overwork. Fortunately, there was no risk to life, but unfortunately, the project led by Myung-ho was aborted.]
[Page 2]
[Ayoung cried in my arms. The afterimage of violence remained on Ayoung’s face and body. She regretted it. If I had cared about Ayoung and helped her, if she had even lent me money, she wouldn’t have signed a contract with a badass entertainment company.]
[Page 3]
[The evening of a snowy day. Oh Mi-yeon, who hated me and hated me, has passed away. She ended her own life by making an extreme choice. As she looked at her portrait, her heartfelt heavy. It’s complicated.]
I read the misfortune diary several times.
I was greatly shocked.
I stared blankly into space.
I soon came to my senses.
I picked up my cell phone.
First, I contacted Myungho Lee.
[Me: Myungho, work at work is important, but your health is the most important.]
[Me: Bro, don’t push yourself too hard. Take it easy and work hard. If you overdo it, your health may be damaged.]
[Me: You gave me a gifticon.]
A red ginseng set was presented to Lee Myung-ho.
[Me: Eat red ginseng and cheer up!]
[Me: Stay healthy and work ^^]
I sent a KakaoTalk message.
Before long, Lee Myung-ho checked KakaoTalk.
[Lee Myung-ho: Thank you for the kind words ^^ I will enjoy the red ginseng set. Haha,]
[Lee Myung-ho: Listening to Jinseong, I came to my senses.]
[Lee Myung-ho: Managing my condition is my number one priority, but I haven’t been able to manage my condition properly because I’ve been busy these days.]
[Lee Myung-ho: I should get off work early today and sleep well.]
Myungho Lee sent me a KakaoTalk message of thanks.
‘Nice!’
Jinseong clenched his fists.
The first page of Misfortune Diary has been deleted. It was to prevent Lee Myung-ho’s misfortune.
Then, I contacted Ayoung Choi.
[Me: Ahyoung.]
[Me: I’ve thought about it carefully, and I think it would be a good idea to reconsider my contract with entertainment.]
[Me: There are more trashy entertainment outlets than I thought. If you make a mistake, life can become tiring.]
[Me: I’d rather lend it to you. I will help you with the deposit for a monthly rent and the money to buy a computer. I broadcast hard and pay back little by little every month.]
It was strange. She sent a KakaoTalk message but was not relieved. I felt uncomfortable, as if a corner of my heart was weighed down.
‘It won’t work.’
I have to go to Ayoung.
I have to go and persuade him.
※※※
On the way home from work.
“Chii…”
Park Ha-yeon was sullen.
“Fool… I said I would come… She was waiting…”
She waited for Jinseong with excitement.
Unfortunately, he didn’t come.
I was thinking of sending a KakaoTalk message.
“It’s annoying.”
I quit because my pride was hurt.
“Hayeon.”
She looked back.
Her expression brightened.
