The promised weekend arrived quickly.
I was still wearing my hoodie, waiting for a message while using my computer.
Although I bought new clothes, I thought a hoodie would be more appropriate for going to the gym… It was an inevitable choice for me.
And on the floor lay my side bag, packed so thoroughly it might seem like I was making too big a deal out of it.
With the side bag containing a tumbler, spare t-shirt, and towel slung over my shoulder, and wireless earphones ready for working out, I felt like I had everything I needed.
“About thirty minutes left”
After finishing preparations early, it seemed there was about 30 minutes left until our meeting time.
Though it was just packing a simple bag, doing it after so long made it feel like preparing for a field trip.
I even thought about packing kimbap, but that would be crossing a line for a gym visit.

The message board, consumed by madness, had reached a point where posts like these seemed tame in comparison.
Things had gotten so bad that when someone brought up a s*xual harassment article recently, people brushed it off saying, “You’re calling that level of comments s*xual harassment?”
Even now, if I sort by popular posts.
Ah, found it.

“That’s enough to get reported?”
If I reported everything by those standards, half my viewers would disappear.
While imagining myself becoming like a villain from a famous superhero movie, the message I was waiting for arrived.
“I’ll be there in about 3 minutes.”
“Better head down now.”
Since I was already prepared, I just grabbed my things and put on my shoes before heading out.
Somehow my heart was pounding with nervousness.
It really felt like going on a field trip.
Working out with a woman.
Would this count as a date?
Shopping or watching movies are 100% dates, but.
I’m not sure about working out.
Moreover, working out with Se-na, who’s good at it, feels more like PT than a date, doesn’t it?
While lost in thought, a familiar car slowly came to a stop in front of me.
It was Se-na’s car.
Forgetting the window was closed, I greeted her first.
“Ah, hello.”
“Hello. Get in.”
“Okay.”
After she lowered the window to greet me, I got into the passenger seat.
Honestly, I thought about sitting in the back, but figured that wouldn’t be polite. Looking at how I’m considering manners now, I guess I’ve grown up.
I tilted my head seeing Se-na wearing thicker clothes than usual.
Was she the type to prefer such outfits?
Every time I saw her, she had the image of someone who mostly walked around in tank tops and short shorts.
Plus, although summer had passed, the weather was still hot.
I even heard on the news that due to climate anomalies, temperatures remained high even after summer ended.
Today was quite hot too.
Se-na’s outfit seemed unusually thick.
Though I didn’t say anything, I was happy that her usual outfit was pleasing to the eyes…
“…Um, thank you”
“Huh? For what?”
“Since I might look scary on the outside… and we’re not that close yet, I thought I might have been too casual asking you out… thank you for coming.”
Se-na said that while looking ahead.
Partly because she was driving, but it also seemed like she was afraid to look this way. What kind of Geum Taeyang is this timid? She should learn from manga or adult videos as an example.
…Maybe I’ve been influenced by the Daeju-dan too.
I never used to think even this much…
Looking scary, huh. Is she really that scary?
I gazed steadily at Se-na from the side.
Right now, Se-na was wearing a long sweatshirt with a hat hiding her golden bobbed hair. She didn’t look scary at all.
Is it because her blonde hair and tattoos are hidden that she doesn’t look scary?
“Um… can I touch it?”
“Wh-wh-where?!”
“Ah, the hat.”
Because I left out the subject, Se-na noticeably panicked.
Come to think of it, it was a bit of a strange thing to say.
Anyway, Se-na took a deep breath and nodded.
I gently took off her hat.
I thought her golden hair only sparkled in the bright morning, but it seemed to shine even in the dark car.
I still didn’t understand why she seemed scary.
And why she wore the hat too. Maybe—
“Did you cover up because of me…?”
“Yes… no, haha…”
Seemed like I was right.
I don’t care about that stuff at all.
How can I actively express that I don’t care?
A way occurred to me but it seemed unlike me, so I hesitated, then.
Getting a bit anxious from the silence in the car, I just blurted it out.
“Um… I think you looked prettier… when you didn’t cover up”
“Really? Should I take it off then?”
Then as soon as we hit a red light, she threw off her clothes.
I shrank back, startled by the sudden appearance of two prominent presences before my eyes.
For a moment, I imagined being pounced on.
With others maybe not, but Se-na could probably overpower me with strength. Consistent gym-goer Geum Taeyang VS Consistent gaming shut-in
The outcome was obvious.
But looking closely, I wasn’t the only one nervous.
Though I was fooled by her bold movement, Se-na’s cheeks were red too.
Now back in her usual outfit, her tattoos were clearly visible.
And her body too.
Seeing it up close, the magnificence was different.
“My aunt runs a gym. I work there too.”
“Ah~”
As expected, our destination was a gym.
I thought she had a good body, but she works at a gym, probably as a trainer? I kept unconsciously glancing to the side.
Every time I looked, wondering if it was okay to stare so openly, Se-na pretended not to notice while blushing.
Though she looked like a Geum Taeyang.
She had these subtle girlish behaviors.
No, boyish would be more accurate?
But then she added.
“But… would you like to work out at my place instead if my uncle is there? Not in any weird way!”
That’s what she said.
That her aunt and uncle were very interested in her, and it was uncomfortable.
And that I would be uncomfortable with her uncle.
About that, she was probably right.
Not just her uncle, I’m uncomfortable with most people anyway.
“And the gym has lots of people, so… I thought you might be uncomfortable. Only if my uncle is there! Only if you’re okay with it…”
“Well, I don’t mind, but what’s the deal with your uncle…?”
“…His mouth is a bit…”
His mouth is a bit… though it’s awkward to say, I’m pretty resistant to that kind of thing.
Isn’t she worrying unnecessarily?
Though it seemed fine, I said we could do that if I couldn’t handle it, just in case.
Going to a woman’s house to work out.
This is—
Probably not.
Because of her appearance, these biased thoughts keep trying to surface, but.
“Wow… bigger than I expected.”
“Well, his mouth is a bit much, but he teaches really well. He’s very perceptive too. Almost too perceptive…”
The large gym, which even had its own parking lot, occupied the first and second floors of the building. The building seemed about 5 stories tall, and ironically, there were several restaurants right above the gym. I even imagined trainers sometimes conducting random inspections, catching members earnestly eating at the restaurants.
Though it was a gym full of temptation, it seemed worth attending.
At least, I’d never seen such a big gym before.
Se-na kept looking around the parking lot with a searching expression.
She looked almost like a criminal avoiding the police.
Is she that wary of her uncle?
“He’s not here. Let’s go in.”
She sighed deeply in relief as she walked in.
“Oh~? Isn’t it your day off, Se-na?”
“Ah, just here to teach someone about working out.”
“Oh? Ooh~~ Wow~~~ How nice~~~”
The woman at the counter greeted Se-na familiarly. Then she looked back and forth between me and Se-na.
Then as if teasing, no, definitely teasing.
Se-na embarrassedly led me quickly into the gym.
The inside was even bigger.
To put it bluntly, it was big enough to run indoors.
“I’ll go get changed and prepare a bit.”
Though her current outfit already seemed plenty suitable for working out, Se-na entered a room marked “Staff Room” as if she had more to prepare.
Just as I was starting to feel anxious, like being abandoned in a vast ocean when the familiar person beside me suddenly disappeared, a man walked up to me.
The big, muscular man’s walk alone suggested he was either a gym trainer or a gym rat, oozing protein vibes.
1000+ pound club.
Under Armour.
A man who perfectly embodied these words.
“Our Se-na’s boyfriend?”
“…Ah! Are you Se-na’s uncle…?”
“Ah, she didn’t tell you? Yes, I’m Se-na’s uncle”
He revealed his identity with a somewhat sly smile.
This might be my first time talking to a man in this world, but his tone was surprisingly gentle, which caught me off guard.
The awkward atmosphere seemed to be felt only by me as he kept smiling brightly.
“You won’t find a girl with breasts as big as our Se-na’s anywhere else, right?”
“…Pardon?”
“Ah! Well, just between us men~ Living life, I’ve learned big-breasted women are the best. Huh? Nice personality? Money? Humor? Don’t need any of that – if she’s pretty and has big breasts, that’s the best, right? When I first married my wife just based on her face, I was worried, but whenever we fight, we make up quickly because she’s pretty, and our relationship is good.”
“What??”
This dizzying situation.
The Daeju-dan, no, this was reality and I couldn’t ban him, which made it even worse than them.
The previous world’s aunties’ characteristic dirty talk.
I was experiencing how terrifyingly it had been reversed in this world.
“Girls with strong pride like Se-na take a long time with passive types like you, Se-na’s got a troublesome personality where she’s sensitive inside but has strong pride, so you just gotta go for it, okay? Just look her in the face and say ‘Follow me! I’ll show you heaven!’ That’s all it takes!”
“Ah…”
“Or make her unable to resist without pouncing on her. Casually touch her shoulders and legs a few times, you know?”
“…”
“Ah Uncle!!”
The voice of my savior was heard from afar, and only then was I freed.
