Chapter 54: 〈Episode 54〉 Eun-jeong
Since it was late and it was dinner time and she was hungry, Eun-jeong seemed to have decided that it would be better to eat first, so the first place she headed to was a meat restaurant.
"I'll bake it."
In front of her, she spoke while first grabbing the tongs and scissors that her mother had brought her.
"okay."
The women around me all had their own unique charms, but they all had one thing in common.
Stubbornness. How stubborn she is. I didn't want to spoil the mood by taking the tongs and scissors away from Eun-jeong, who was showing a firm will to grill meat, so I obediently gave her the opportunity to grill meat.
Cheeeeek.
As soon as the pork belly came out and the meat was placed on the hot grill, it seemed like a delicious smell was already coming out along with the loud noise.
"Jiyoung, don't you do things like this?"
"Uh... really?"
My girlfriend, who is synonymous with being lazy, was not good at grilling meat.
In the first place, she was so lazy that she barely celebrated her own birthday or even her parents' birthdays, although she celebrated my birthday well. So, naturally, I was the one doing all the little things like grilling meat.
"I thought so."
Eun-jeong grilled meat with a smile on her face, wondering what was so good about it.
"It's all ripe."
She placed a deliciously grilled piece of meat on my plate.
"thank you."
I put the lettuce on my palm, placed the meat on it, and added various other things to it, then brought it in front of Eun-jeong, who was grilling the meat, not in front of my mouth.
"ah."
"..."
She opened her eyes wide and ate the ssam with her mouth open, her face red for a moment.
"Now I'll roast it."
"No... it's okay."
"You have to eat it too, right?"
"Eat it as you wish."
Of course, it was baked well, but to be honest, it wasn't the taste I was looking for.
And when it came to eating meat, I couldn't keep my hands and feet still because I wanted to grill the meat unconditionally, perhaps because I cooked it myself.
No, I guess it's more like I'm too busy grilling meat to just sit still like this.
"What... is it? Fighting... keep fighting."
I said everything I wanted to say without being able to look her in the eye.
I agreed with a snicker.
"Okay. Ah."
After filling our bellies, we headed to the movie theater.
Almost all of my dates with Jiyoung were not normal dates.
I, too, wanted to pursue the joy of making memories by traveling to different places like other couples.
But Jiyoung wasn't interested in that at all and was busy finding pretty women, preferably women with nice bodies whose breasts and buttocks would jiggle beautifully whenever he fucked them, and taking them to motels.
It's not like I've never been to a place like a movie theater, but it's been a really long time.
But... but there is something.
"Eun-jeong... Aren't you going to watch a movie?"
"What the... are you looking at? Be quiet."
When I turned my head, Eun-jeong, who had been looking at my profile face with discomfort since a while ago, quickly turned her head and looked at the large screen.
And then, shamelessly, he tells me to be quiet because it disturbs the movie.
I brought my eyes straight ahead without further questioning.
"..."
As soon as I did that, I felt a gaze. I moved my eyes slightly and looked to the side, and as expected, Eun-jeong was looking at me.
The movie ended without me being able to concentrate at all.
"It was fun, wasn't it?"
Don't lie. You didn't even see the movie.
No matter how pretty or handsome someone is, can you really look at the side of someone's face for nearly two hours? I was just curious.
"That's right."
I just pretended not to know... I thought that if I spoke without thinking, it would only make the mood worse, so I just answered Eun-jeong's words.
"Next... uh... do you want to go to the billiard hall?"
"Can you play?"
"No. Teach me."
"I don't know much because I'm not very good at it. Is that okay?"
"Huh...? You don't? You don't like billiards?"
"I barely do it."
Because I don't have any friends and Jiyoung likes motels more than places like billiard halls, we didn't have many opportunities to go.
"Then what do you want to do?"
Because I was influenced by Jiyoung, the first place that came to mind was a motel.
I can't ask Jiyoung to go to a motel when I'm not even on a date.
"Should I do some exercise?"
The next place I go to the most after the motel is none other than the gym. As soon as I told her about working out, she looked over and said, "Oh no!"
Of course, a woman might like to exercise, but Eun-jeong seemed far from exercise-oriented, and it was nonsense to use the gym as a dating course. The duration of a relationship is not easy, and I, who was practically a beginner in dating, felt like I had made a big mistake.
however.
"Gym? Yeah. Let's go."
Eun-jeong said she wanted to go as if nothing had happened.
So I took her and headed to the gym we go to without any hesitation.
"Huh? Member. You're alone today... Ah..."
When we first came here, the trainer we had was fired and a new trainer came in.
The trainer was a muscular man who was fascinated by Jiyoung's beauty, but when he found out that she had a partner, he completely forgot about his regrets for a moment and focused on working out, which made me really like him.
Anyway, he couldn't hide his surprise at seeing me come to the gym at a completely different time than usual and at showing up alone, but soon he opened his mouth wide when he saw Eun-jeong entering the gym after taking off her shoes.
"There are a lot of people?"
"It's because it's evening."
The gym usually starts to get crowded after 6pm, and becomes overcrowded between 6:30pm and 7pm.
That means there are a lot of people going to the gym at this time.
"It's burdensome."
And there were just as many men, and while they were working out and sweating profusely, they happened to see Eun-jeong, who had a pretty appearance, and lost their minds when they took a break.
Because it was a familiar sight, Eun-jeong said it with an expression that suggested something bothersome might happen rather than an expression of displeasure or dislike.
"Do you want to change your clothes?"
"No. I just want to do some light exercise."
"Okay? Okay. Just wait a minute."
I went into the changing room, found my cabinet, and quickly changed my clothes.
"Hmm... I guess I'll have to take it and wash it today."
The smell of sweat wafted out as soon as I put it on. I left the locker room with the thought that I should take it in today and wash it.
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Is this your first time at the gym? I can teach you..."
"Diet or strength training?"
As soon as I came out, what I saw were three muscular men surrounding Eun-jeong.
They were all staring at Eun-jeong's face and body, blatantly thrusting at her.
"It's late. Let's go."
Eun-jeong didn't even feel like responding, so she crossed her arms with a look of displeasure on her face and hurried on.
"Doesn't that kid have a girlfriend?"
"Isn't that the wind? You piece of shit. I'll see you next time you come with your girlfriend."
As soon as Eun-jeong left, they started swearing.
I clearly didn't harm them, so why do they have such ill feelings toward me? This feels unfair.
"You said we'd start with something simple, right? Then let's just run."
We got on the treadmill together and ran.
I really want to do some strength training, but I'm worried that if I leave Eun-jeong here alone, some other guys might persistently come after her, so I feel hesitant about leaving her here to do my own workout.
So we ran for about 20 minutes.
"Let's lift lightly, 2kg."
I put a 2kg dumbbell in her hand, which was so light that she could probably lift it with her little finger.
I also held the 7kg one, which is about 3 times the weight, in both hands.
"Look in the mirror."
Following my words, Eun-jeong turned her body and head towards the mirror.
Then, her and my entire body were reflected in the mirror.
We didn't do the exercise of making ourselves small, and we saw the men looking at us... to be exact, Eun-jeong, but we tried to ignore them.
"Fix your shoulders first."
What we are going to do now is not a shoulder lifting exercise, so we shouldn't use our shoulders.
"And then slowly raise it up."
As I continued speaking while raising my arm, Eun-jeong followed my actions and raised her arm.
"When you feel like you've lifted it all the way up, gently push your elbows in."
"Is this enough?"
"Good job. You can get off now."
For a first timer, you seem to be doing pretty well.
however.
"Ugh... Ugh!"
It was only 2kg to me and 2kg to Eunjeong, but it was easy at first, but if you keep doing it, it will become difficult no matter how light it is.
As expected, Eun-jeong, who had never exercised before, seemed burdened after turning thirty.
"Okay. That's enough."
Normally, you would have to push yourself to the limit to the point where you can't raise your arms to build muscle, but Eun-jeong didn't come here to build muscle; she just followed me to the gym under the pretext of a date, so this was enough.
"Is it worth it?"
"Okay... okay."
I see. Your expression is still not very pleasant.
"Then let's move on to the next exercise..."
"You were here?"
Just as I was about to move on to something else, I heard a voice that seemed very familiar to me.
"Jiyoung?"
Even though it wasn't closing time for the cafe yet, Jiyoung was standing in front of me.
"What about the cafe?"
"There weren't many people, so I just came out."
Oh. My girlfriend is just as clueless as Eun-jeong.
"Do you want to exercise? You said you didn't want to when I told you to."
"Just... whatever."
"I see that your belly is a little protruding. Since we're at this point, let's work out together."
"...."
Now that I think about it, when I had sex with Eun-jeong recently, I felt like I gained some weight.
Jiyoung may not know, but ordinary women are sensitive about their weight and pretend not to know. Jiyoung said in a nonchalant manner in front of many people who were watching and listening, "You've gained weight, so you should exercise."
"While we're at it, let's build up some muscle too."
Jiyoung pushed Eunjeong's back and headed to the locker room.
"Hoona. Give me some clothes."
"okay."
Without even mentioning my size, I naturally went to the counter and ordered a pair of women's sportswear.
Of course, for a beauty like Eun-jeong, the gym membership was free, and the clothes were free too.
"You're going to have a hard time, Eun-jeong."
I remembered the first time I went to the gym after being pushed by Jiyoung.
It was a really hard time back then. In many ways, I mean.
