Chapter 290 – Episode 290

To be honest, it was definitely not a suggestion that seemed well-intentioned. It wasn’t an illusion or paranoia; it actually happened.

Kim Cheon-hyuk was a guy who was confident in sports since he was in high school. He was particularly good at his pull-ups since he was rather light. As he got older, he gained more weight than before, but his good skills didn’t disappear all at once.

Of course, it’s not that I can’t exercise at all. He inherited his athletic sense to some extent from his father, who grew up in the countryside.
However, he wasn’t very good at it, so if he and Kim Cheon-hyuk engaged in chin-ups, it was a fight he would lose.

‘Whew, I feel a bit bad.’

I will win now. Because with the help of the quest, I gained incredible physical strength.

But, Kim Cheon-hyuk doesn’t know. Since I didn’t know, I was asking them to make that bet. Why? Because he thinks he will win 100%. I didn’t like that symbol.

Not even a penny or two. It’s not a small amount of money if it’s the price of everyone’s lunch, but he made that offer to me knowing that he would win.

‘Jo Sogeum was like that too. I guess they’re putting such unreasonable conditions on it because they firmly believe they’ll win.’

My mind was complicated.

Two hearts are fighting inside.

Are you that confident? Can you give me a real taste of how much I have changed?

… I’m worried that even if I do that, the current atmosphere is a bit awkward, and it might get worse.

“Okay, that’s enough. Hey. “What if we make a bet and end up hurting each other?”

Fortunately, my heart was more inclined toward the latter.

I can understand a little why Kim Cheon-hyuk is sad, and furthermore, I can laugh about that and move on, so I guess they are friends. Good things are good things. I wanted to move on as best as possible.

Park Bo-sung also nods his head as if he thought about me well.

“Yes, Cheonhyuk. There are only 8 people here. Paying for lunch is too big.”

It should have ended here.

Everyone here except Kim Cheon-hyuk knew that it was the best. What’s worse, will even Shin Tae-hoon, who was stuck next to Kim Cheon-hyuk like a piece of gum, agree today.

“No, I’m just saying let’s have fun. Even if I come out, how much will I get? If 8 people eat it, will it cost more than 200,000 won? Just do it. Because I’m fine. Well, if Hyunwoo really doesn’t want to do it, I won’t force him.”

However, there are types who are so excited that they cannot back down when faced with a situation like this.

It was Kim Cheon-hyuk.

Even the nuance was like that. Don’t I even have 200,000 won? There I also felt the limits of my patience. Because it was also a sensitive part of me. Unlike other office workers, I’ve never had a hard time because I didn’t have money.

It’s gotten a bit better recently, but I can’t help but get upset when my friend touches me like that.

‘Do you have to press me that much, that much to feel relieved?’

When I hung out with Kim Cheon-hyuk, I often felt that way. He looks at me as completely below him.

When playing games or playing together at home.

I feel that when I look at the little things that treat me. I wasn’t stupid either. But, even taking that into account, I liked him as a friend, so I was with him… In the end, did he need someone worse than him?

“Okay. If it’s okay with you, I don’t really have any problems. Let’s make a bet. “I don’t know if we can be selected both times.”

I gritted my teeth while swallowing bitterness.

I still think of good memories with Kim Cheon-hyuk and the fun times we had as friends, so I wonder if I should take a step back… I also didn’t want to continue to look pathetic in front of my girls.

As a last hope, we were hoping that YouTubers would not nominate us, but I think that would be unreasonable.

“Do you think you will be selected? Because the YouTuber over there is only looking this way.”

“Hmm. That’s right.”

Of course, I thought Ohana and Han Ae Bom had attracted my attention. Because they were both so pretty and wearing very sexy bikinis.

But, what is this?

“No, there’s a man there.”

“… Yes?”

An exercise YouTuber whose forearms are as big as my thighs pointed the finger at me.

Wait a minute, is it me again?

“Yes, there. Just the panties… No, the person wearing boxer shorts and a swimsuit. “Can you come out for a moment?”

“Oh, yes.”

I felt embarrassed and went forward, covering my lower body with my hands. Then, everyone gathered there burst into laughter along with exclamations.

Holy shit. After wearing the wrong swimsuit, you end up like a monkey at the water park.

“Child, why are you covering it with your hand? It looks nice. If you were going to cover it up, you shouldn’t have worn that swimsuit in the first place!”

When you say something that is meant to be funny, people around you start laughing again. At the same time, Ohana also raises her hands and shouts.

“I was originally going to wear it as a triangle! We all agreed that my brother would really get reported if I wore that!”

“Wow, that’s amazing. This is a real horse, horse! Your girlfriend did a great job. You should be proud of this. It’s like a man’s pride.”

You bastards. Don’t just do it because it’s not your business.

Look at YouTube drawing.

“No, but actually, it did steal a lot of attention. Looking up close, you have a really nice body, don’t you? It’s not just pretty muscles. Should I call it the true pressure muscle? You can feel the internal strength of the actually compressed muscles. Everyone, look. “These muscles are much stronger in real life than they actually look.”

While the exercise YouTuber was explaining things, he started touching various parts of my body and started screaming. To be precise, the fingers that were massaging my thighs briefly touched my lower abdomen.

“Ouch!”

개새끼야, 왜 네가 부딪치고 비명을 지르는 건데.

This is the unfair one.

“Puhahahahaha!”

In the meantime, Ohana dies because she finds this situation amusing. She holds on to her dainty belly button and leans her back. We’ll see later.

I will definitely take revenge.

Meanwhile, how much of the YouTube content was judged to have been selected? An exercise YouTuber asks me.

“Then would you like to try pull-ups?”

“Oh, about that. I think my friend is also quite confident in pull-ups. Is it okay if we compete with each other?”

“Oh, of course. Then, my friend, please come here too. Oh! “Your friend is also in good health.”

“In the past, my friend was in perfect shape. These days, I’m feeling a bit better.”

In the end, the pull-up match was concluded.

I gave the lead to Kim Cheon-hyuk. I thought I should press my nose to make sure it was like this.

“If you don’t wear a weight vest, it costs 1,000 won, if you wear it, it costs 3,000 won for 10 kg and 5,000 won for 20 kg. What would you like to wear? “There are a lot of people who pay for lunch here.”

“I will take 10 kilograms.”

“Oh, usually everyone chooses that one. All right. “I’ll help you get dressed.”

Cheonhyuk Kim confidently wore a 10 kilogram weight vest. The YouTuber who was helping me put it on asked.

“Aren’t you heavy? “Even 10 kilos is actually quite a lot if you put it on your body.”

“Not at all. “It’s not heavy.”

“Oh, then 20 kilos?”

“That’s not it.”

Kim Cheon-hyuk, who lightened the mood by giving a sensible answer, stands in front of the pull-ups and takes a deep breath.

Just by looking at his more serious eyes than ever or his preparation posture his, you can see how much Kim Cheon-hyuk has risked his life on pull-ups. He exaggerated a little and seemed willing to force himself to do it even if it put a strain on his muscles.

“Then, let’s begin!”

“Inhale!”

Kim Cheon-hyuk hangs on the chin-up bar at the YouTuber’s signal.

“Oooooh… !”

Even though I used a little bit of recoil, it was an excellent pull-up even taking that into account. People watching around her, regardless of gender, let out small gasps of admiration.
It was the same for me.

I saw him in high school, but Kim Cheon-hyuk was also good at sports. He has a good body and takes good care of himself. In some ways, I don’t understand why he hung out in our group when he was in high school. Come to think of it, he was also friendly with the Iljin group.

Even though we didn’t hang out together, I didn’t feel uncomfortable with the Iljin group.

He was good at studying, good at sports, and had good relationships with people around him… When I met him when I was young, he was a really great friend.

Is it because it was so amazing?

Now, I think Kim Cheon-hyuk never wanted to admit that I might have become more successful than him.

“Ooooo!”

“Just one more last!”

“Kwaaaaa!”

I thought Kim Cheon-hyuk’s face was going to explode. He did the last one with a desperate effort, completing a whopping 28 pull-ups even while wearing a 10-kilogram weight vest.

“Wow, today’s record is high. This is the first time I’ve seen someone do 28 while wearing 10 kg. Wow, it’s only been 30 minutes since I started this, and I’m going to make all this money quickly. How much? Wait. A calculator. It’s 84,000 won. Since you showed such a great performance, I will give you 85,000 won.”

“Thank you!”

Kim Cheon-hyuk bowed his head with a kind smile and stepped back after receiving applause from the people. Then, he subtly taps my shoulder.

“Fighting.”

“Oh, thank you.”

I stood in front of the YouTuber, feeling an unfamiliarity that wasn’t like before.

“What kind of horse are you talking about?”

“… “I will make it 20 kilograms.”

“Omg! Oh my god. I will challenge myself with 20 kilos. Everyone applauds! “I’ll tell you in advance, 20 kilograms are really quite heavy.”

“It’s okay.”

“I will help you.”

“Yes.”

I put on a 20 kilogram vest with the help of a YouTuber. I feel a heavy weight pressing down on my shoulders.

But, that was all.

Stamina +14, strength +9.

Even these numbers were simply a plus to my original physical ability. About 20 kilograms can only be felt as if someone were lightly leaning on it.

‘What should I do?’

It was easy to win overwhelmingly. Wouldn’t your friend be very offended then?

But, I’ve come this far, and I’m the only one who has to worry?

Let’s change our thoughts. As Park Bo-sung said. Rather than investing a lot of effort and effort to change the hearts of people who are unfamiliar with me, it was better to focus and hang out with people who liked me.

Okay. In the end, aren’t like-minded people left behind?

Lately, we haven’t even held a year-end party, let alone a class reunion. They say like-minded people get together on their own.

I couldn’t be stuck in the past forever.

“Can you do it? “If it’s too much, we’ll change it right now.”

“No, it’s easy.”

It was then.

“Oppa, fighting!”

“Cheer up, Hyunwoo.”

“Go for it! Main… Hyunwoo!”

I clung to the pull-up bar with the enthusiastic cheering of the women next to me. And, the moment I started doing pull-ups.

Everyone around, including the YouTuber, opened their mouths and let out exclamations.

The noisy surroundings begin to gradually become quiet.

10, 20… My pull-ups, which I thought would end by now, continued. Before we knew it, Kim Cheon-hyuk, who had set a new record of 28, had easily surpassed the number.

“Mi… Chin.”
