— steam deck gym.

@✽ ayaka m.⁰²²⁰²⁰²³ "ah, ouch, aya!" he whined in exaggeration. jaewook pulled away from her fingers, rubbing the cheek that fell victim to her pinch. he should've seen the playful gesture coming, given how the younger jaewook fell for it countless of times. "i could say the same to you," jaewook scoffed. though he recognized her, ayaka, too, have matured (and become even more beautiful, though he'd never admit aloud) in her features. he's sure (and proven) inside she's still the same old ayaka. "let me remind you that we're only 2 years apart," jaewook rolled his eyes, his voice softening as he added, "i don't need your help /every/ time. only when i actually need it."

at her next few sentences, jaewook shrugged. "it could be yours, could be mine. i guess life just happened," he answered, his voice entering a low register and his eyes darkened. in her memory, his parents are probably alive right now. the boy wondered if he should just break the news but he decided not to. unless ayaka brought the topic of his parents' well being up. jaewook cleared his throat. "i do, though i prefer to run outside before coming in."

@✽ jaewook l. "jaewook. I'm both happy to see you and laughing because you does have something on your face...", she then reached out on the pretence of helping to wipe away something on his cheek then instead, pinching his cheek lightly with a playful expression on her countenance. "seeing you now after so long, you're really and no longer a scrawny . You look way better now i have to admit. even if you say so, i don't feel very convinced at all. are you now all grown up that you don't need my help anymore? ah, my heart's wounded, so very wounded." pressing her hand against her chest with a pained look, she complied by following him to where he was sitting and shook her head. "yes, seated for a good while and you'd better be drinking some water. Me too. I never thought you do go to a gym. Definitely years. i wonder why...? was it my fault for not keeping in touch in so long?"

@✽ ayaka m. it was his turn to flinch in surprise as ayaka burst out laughing the moment her gaze landed on his face. his eyebrows knitted together in response to him feeling slightly annoyed as her laughter reminded him of their days of endless teasing. "not sure you're actually happy to see me or if you're laughing because there's something on my face," he muttered, more to himself. "scrawny —" he started to complain but got cut off by ayaka's gesture. though they might tease each other like cat and dog, they do care about the other like siblings and jaewook find himself complying to ayaka. "i'm feel fine, seriously," he sighed as he let ayaka helped him down from the treadmill, shrugging her arm half way to a gym bench. "there, this /not/ scrawny is seated." jaewook ran a hand through his hair before wiping off sweat from his temples. "anyway, i can't believe i'd see you here. it's been years."

@✽ jaewook l. his snarky, biting remark had her recoiling so hard that she had to put her arms up as if she was about to get arrested anytime soon and looked straight right back at him with a look of apology only to be replaced with surprise as well. "lee jaewook....?" the name came out of her lips like a whisper, almost with her gaze scrutinising every part of his being before landing on his face at the end and guffawed in a not so feminine way, slapping her hand over to remind herself that she was right out in the public and not in the playgrounds she would often in Busan. "now let me ask again, seeing how we still have history. Are you okay? You look like you're about to pass out and boy—", she tutted while shaking her head a few times. "You look as pale as a ghost. I don't care what you gonna say about that but you gonna sit your scrawny down and take a breather. Come on!" with that said, she hooked her arm around his bicep and tilted her head to the side, awaiting his permission to let her help him right there and then.

@✽ ayaka m. the current music from his earphones (though he wasn't focusing much on it) faded out as it ends, allowing the soft voice of a female to pass. despite only catching the last parts of her sentence, he nodded as he pulled out his earphones and straightened up. having others asking if he was okay was something he hated. especially after going through the immense phase of pity from other people when he lost almost everything years back eventhough the owner of the voice seem to be genuinely worried. he inhaled deeply and exhaled to expel the bad mood his brain tried to fish out before turning to the voice. "i'm fine," he replied with a slight edge to his tone, locking eyes with the female to shoot a 'mind your own business' glare. though the glare was soon replaced with a look of surprise; his eyes wide as he took in the familiar features of the older woman he grew up with. jaewook let out a soft snort, "ayaka?"

@✽ sooyoung p. Though Seolhyun was more used to working alone or with fellow personal trainers who were at her seniority level, she did not mind it at all when HR had informed her that senior employees of the gym would be getting some help, mostly assistants and junior trainers. She had shrugged this off, thinking it wasn’t that serious since her boss was always a little impulsive with these matters. That next week her desk had a handful of papers, all resumes and faces to take note off. It wasn’t her ideal work day, sifting through them, but she had them all come in for interviews, staggered slowly throughout her weekend work hour period.

“Park Sooyoung…” she mumbled softly, her eyes scanned the little photo and contact details of one of her possible employees. She was very pretty, Seolhyun admitted that. It would definitely bring in more customers, but aside from that, she knew close to nothing about the girl. Maybe her birthdate and a few basics, nothing else. She was meant for an interview that day, so of course Seolhyun was fiddling with the interviewee’s photo.

As if speaking the girl’s name summoned her for her morning interview, she heard a sharp knock on her office door. She stood up, as always wearing one of her usual gym attires just in case any client came in for a session: Black leggings with matching shorts covering her bum and crotch area, athletic shoes and socks, a maroon sports bra, and a slim-fit lightweight athletic jacket, ped to show off her abdomen and bra. She opened the door, ready to greet the visitor with a smile but her brows just ended up in a visibly confused state. She was too nice to immediately point out Sooyoung’s (yes, she was sure it was her from her photo reference) … strange gym outfit. Seolhyun genuinely had no idea why this girl came in an office shirt and pencil skirt. The heels and hair in a bun was also inappropriate, but no one was there asking her for a workout, so. She’d just have to go with this girl’s flow.

“Park Sooyoung, yes? I’m Kim Seolhyun, though you knew that already.” She greeted her warmly anyways, bowing gently from the other side of the door before stepping back inside to guide Sooyoung to the chair across her desk. Her eyes were still locked on the girl’s peculiar outfit choice. “Come sit, you’re here for the job… right?” she asked, wondering if Sooyoung wanted to botch the interview on purpose. She’d ask about the outfit later.

@✽ hoseok l. "the shipping fees is no joke, Kieun and it's so hard to get my hands on them," ahyoung grumbled, handing a bag that contained gymwear over to her friend who also happened to work in the same industry but different places. having come from the same major in university, she and her friend have exchanged information about new gymwear and new brands of gymwear. that also explained why she was here to hand the stuff over that ahyoung and her friend group-bought. as they interacted and talked about the newer line of the gymwear from a certain brand, the weather started to switch for the worst and a heavy snowstorm took place instead and of course, ahyoung had not paid any attention since she was so focused in talking to her friend that she hadn't seen in a while until her friend had to excuse herself and the two friends bade each other goodbye, turning around to exit only to see the heavy snow outside. as much as she loved winter, being stuck in a snowstorm wasn't ideal and wondered while taking her seat at the lobby if she should just rush into a restaurant to wait it out since she was a little hungry. "Ah... i'm hungry. And there's a crazy snowstorm out there.."

@✽ jaewook l. as soon as she was done with her warm-up, she head over to the treadmill but only to be stopped by a staff member whom she was very familiar with as she was a regular user of this gym to discuss about the possibility of more krav maga sessions due to her missing out those classes because of her job that had irregular hours. with a light chuckle and a few words exchanged, she bid the staff goodbye and to enjoy the day before popping over to a treadmill next to a man who was slightly hunching over. even his back and side profile was striking her as familiar but she couldn't safely assume until she would see his front. however if there was anyone who actually hunch over like this, it was always never a good sign and that worried her as a fellow exercise goer. since she didn't started up the treadmill, she leaned over the handrail and whispered softly so her loud voice wouldn't startle the man. "hey, are you okay? you seem to be in pain.."

@✽ ayaka m. with his bluetooth earphones on, jaewook kept up with the speed of the treadmill. normally he'd simply run around the town's park or the neighbourhood but the cold had bugged his shoulder, causing him to stay in bed, and he lost the timing to wake up for his morning run. he opted for the gym instead, planning to lightly exercise his upper body—an attempt to reassure himself that his shoulder is perfectly fine. jaewook felt his jaw tightened as he rewinded his memory to this morning; imaginary pain creeping his shoulder once more. he reached out for the buttons to accelarate running deck, sprinting for a few minutes before lowering the speed, running, jogging, walking until he came to a stop. slightly hunching over with his arms on the handrail, he regulated his breathing as he thought to himself,'today won't be a good day'.

@✽ jaewook l. after having exchanged a few friendly messages over sns, she let out a sigh as she pushes against the doors of the gym she had frequented quite recently, using her left shoulder and greets the receptionist as usual with a salute of her digits before heading to the female locker to change into her workout outfit. once done, she heads to her usual locker and dumps her bag inside there, locks it up and heads to the running treadmill, putting her towel and phone in the water bottle holder since she had to warm up a little. "what a good day! what a good day!", she chants under her breath while beginning to stretch her arms upwards and doing a proper warming up near the treadmill section.

@✽ yerim k. It was as if the whole world was watching his and his male parts hanging, Dongho had never felt as exposed before in his life. Being a double agent taught him to be extremely careful and discreet, the complete opposite of that exact moment he was facing. How that even happened? He had a rather slow reaction time afore grasping for the fallen fabric to cover his s. Not even having the guts to look the woman in the eyes, Dongho's head lay low, bowing as an apology. "I'm...sorry. I wasn't expecting- This wasn't supposed to..." Choking on his own thoughts, not even perceiving the fact that he was in the woman's locker, the man just wanted to vanish from her presence extremely quickly.

"I'm not..." As he was gathering his clothes from the floor and his bag, Dongho still tried to defend himself from the accusations. He understood why she would feel so disturbed, and this was not the ideal first encounter or memory he wanted in Dandelion. Deciding to just shut his mouth, packing his things in an apex, Dongho saw himself trapped again. The woman was blocking the path to the door, he was forced to pass through her to get out. Another brain blockage, eyeing the woman and thinking how in the hell he could escape the locker without touching her. Clenching his fists as his brain tried to figure out a way out, Dongho bowed again, taking quick but hesitant steps toward her. This doesn't look good, it was like he was going towards her directly and not the door, but he had no other exit.

Dongho stopped breathing for a whole minute, managing to walk behind her, but his body brushed against hers, biting his tongue in hopes she wouldn't punch him from the sudden physical contact. Hopping to the side, he was finally on the other side by the door, exhaling all the trapped air in a relieved sigh. Looking back once again, just to bow down apologetically, without looking at her, he ran out of the locker's door.

Leaning against the wall outside the gym, he could feel his blood rushing through his veins again. Compared to his deadly missions, this for sure was one of the most breathtaking, but not for the best reasons. Dongho was done for today, he just felt like hiding in his apartment and hibernating for life. Tonight was drinking night for sure, women were always his kryptonite for not knowing how to handle them or wanting them near or intimately.

@✽ dongho k. She was really going to do it, finally committing herself to following through with one of her self made goals.

With a flyer in one hand and coupons in another, Yeri stared at the gym. The building was fairly new and still had that distinct shine to it that often attracted costumers. She herself had even gone in a few times, going for a couple short training sessions or just to use the treadmill. She had been wanting to officially join the gym but she simply couldn’t afford it with other expenses and with her current income. That’s why the moment she received a ‘join now for 50%’ flyer as well as a few coupons for some different equipment she knew she had to take advantage of the opportunity. So with her mind made up she entered into the gym, greeting some of the workers before making her way to some of the equipment.

Soft pants escaped past her lips as she finished off her workout for the day, using her hands to fan herself as she made her way towards the locker rooms. It hadn’t been anything intense, but for someone who only did yoga and light weight lifting, yerim was tired. Her legs were sore and she could already feel her muscles crying at her for the strain she put on them. She made a mental note to stretch better before and to take it easier before she went into one of the showers, sighing in relief as the cold water hit her back. It was a quick wash, just washing off the sweat before drying herself off and making her way towards her bag.

Oh? The clothes on the floor look rather.. masculine? She stared at the articles of clothing before shrugging and walking towards her locker, whatever people feel comfortable in right? She hummed as she changed into her day clothes, slipping on some pants and a sweatshirt for the cold weather she was about to be walking into. Ready and dressed, she started packing her bag, stuffing away her workout clothes before peeking up at the sound of feet hitting against the floor. Oh was someone else in here? She made her way out, freezing in place as she saw the broad back of a male. She didn’t even get a chance to react to seeing him in the womens locker room before his towel fell, mouth dropping into a shocked ‘o’ and eyes quickly glancing before looking anywhere but at him. “Oh my god, what the hell are you doing?!” She yelled out, hands moving to partially cover her face, cheeks heating up as she shook her head. “This is the womens locker room, !”

@✽ seolhyun k. the more her reflection stares right back at her, the more sooyoung realizes she's horrendous.

horrendous in a way that she picks clothes that matches that of corporate/office employees than of people who are frequent in a gym, pencil skirt mocking her choice of outfit for the day. horrendous in a way that she even had her sleek back and up in a bun — like the cherry on top of a formality cupcake she's trying too hard to swallow. in her defence, the reason behind the meeting is between an employee and an employer; it could be plus points that she looks presentable or poised, even if her ensemble is a contrary of the building of said employer.

it wouldn't hurt to rummage the closet some more, right? it wouldn't change a thing if you decides to run a little bit pass the (supposed) meeting time, yes? this is all for chameleon purposes— yes, you can can change from skirt to leggings and they wouldn't notice a thing. you're doing a good job. keep convincing yourself, it will soon work. a few push—

—and she can't stand it anymore. even if she will look like a sore thumb with all the equipments and weight scattered about, at least she's right on the dot. and her freshly ironed top and skirt she invested her time with will stay on. and, yes, it certainly won't clash with her favourite tote bag in hand.
(her training bra may be a stretch, but she'll venture all possibilities the world may throw to her way.)

purposefully being "late" for fifteen minutes past the opening time of the gym, sooyoung is then welcomed with isolation of humans but showered with equipments she hardly know the names of. it must be still pretty early for non- regulars alike, which is a blessing in disguise for her part. the lass then hurries over what she could guess as the reciptionist's table, her rush obvious with arrhythmic clank of heels. a few questions as to where mrs. im's office is located and is soon ushered to her doorstep. a few scans on her notes and then sooyoung musters up the courage to knock, clutching a little too tight on her notebook as she do so.

@✽ yerim k. It's been a little over a week since dongho disembarked at dandelion, the mission was concise and very straightforward. first things first, he needed to find a job as a cover, acting like he's a poor hardworking guy trying to make a living in a modest town. so far, everything was smooth, just earlier, he moved into his new apartment. not that dongho had much to pack, and nothing was more rewarding than heading to the gym after a physically draining morning. on average, dongho would spend one hour to two hours at the gym, weight was his focus, and a bit of cardio, in the end, to help burn the extra fat.

the male was drenched in sweat, but a wide satisfied grin pasted on his lips as he felt like he had conquered the world just now. the gym was quite empty at that hour, wandering around still trying to figure out where the locker rooms and resting places were. unknowingly, the male stepped inside the lady's lockers, dropping all his clothes on the floor as he went in for a warm, refreshing shower.

"Oh ..." dongho cursed, realizing the missing towel by his shower cabin, pressing his lips together, he peeked, making sure nobody was around. not that dongho minded walking around with his phallus hanging, but above it all, he was a respectful man and felt like he was being uneducated for walking around a public place bare. slowly walking towards the lockers again, hands trying their best to cover his s. letting out a relieved sigh, nobody was around, or so he thought. reaching out to grab the towel and speedily wrapping his lower body. "that was close..." as dongho was ready to turn back to the shower cabin, his whole body froze, a female was standing right in front of his very eyes. the male could feel his whole body tense at the sight, and a mixture of emotions rushed through his whole being. but it got worse... the poor towel wasn't wrapped well enough, as his tensed muscles caused the towel to drop straight to his feet.

@✽ jackson w. "the term for that will be a veterinarian and yes, a doctor for animals. Not really, there are quite a bit of struggles that come with the job," she chuckles lightly and shakes her head a few time before in her lips to keep herself from laughing out of courtesy and gives the trainer two thumbs up in response at his poses and flexing of his triceps. her hands instinctively reaches out to grab the dumbbells and nearly drops her arms to the floor, staggering a bit. "a warm up with these weights? uh huh, sure." laughing through the pain and the idea of exercising for real, she copies every exercise he has shown her through and to add on the grunts and groans, feeling all the unused muscles being worked to "death".

@✽ inah s. her answers sounded interesting so he listens more and forms his mouth into an "o" at some parts of it. "wow, your profession seems pretty cool. are you a doctor for animals then? in that case, a right exercise should be the answer in order for you to have enough muscle and strength." he poses as he flexes his triceps in joking way and starts to give a pair of 3 pounds dumbbells to you. "let's start with a quick warm up and with these babies so that we can already sweat up and sleeping muscles will be awakened" he walks over to the bluetooth speaker to play an energetic music and walks back to you to show the first few exercises you needed to follow.

@✽ jongho c. With his water bottle, wallet and phone tucked underneath his right arm, Chan walked beside Jongho, listening intently and nodding. “Wow, just a month? Seriously?” he replied, his jaw dropping slightly. It seemed Jongho was the type to get along with anyone, so finding out he was newcomer to Dandelion was both a surprise and something he expected. “The city? Nice. I’m actually… kinda? Kinda from Seoul, but I’ve been in Dandelion every summer since I was 7 because my dad’s here.” He lifted his arm, patting the guy on the back lightly. “I can’t say much because Dandelion’s basically my second and now permanent home, but it’s easy to feel cozy here! Everyone knows or knows of eachother, so it’s all very comforting? Like a big extended family.” he commented, a huge grin on his face. He looked around, seeing some low-level residential buildings in the area they were walking. They must have been close.

@✽ chan l. “Oh no.” Jongho laughed softly, shaking his head. “No, I’ve only been here for about a month. I’ve settled nicely though, I think! My apartment is finally all unpacked and I remember the way to the coffee shop without getting lost, so I’d count that as an absolute win.” He took a swig from his water bottle as he walked alongside his friend, “no, I’m from the city actually. This is the first big move I’ve ever taken, it was kind of scary, to be honest. I was worried id get homesick too quickly.”

@✽ jongho c. Chan listened intently to Jongho, nodding and smiling as he spilled his entire workout plan, doing the same and giving him his circuit and weight routine before they briefly went their separate ways to finish what they had planned. Finally, they finished and Chan wiped his face, neck and arms clean with his little towel, he sat at the bench for a moment, before following Jongho out of the gym, belongings in hand. He looked at their surroundings, remembering it if he wanted to visit next time. “Oh me? Well, technically I permanently moved here around February this year. But! My dad’s a native and I’ve been visiting him here every summer since I was 7 years old. I’m more or less almost raised here. Just almost. What about you? You been here long?”

@✽ jackson w. she can only laugh at his question and who gonna agree with her that nobody, absolutely nobody is ever ready for such a strenuous workout like this? nodding a few times to his invitation to follow him in, she did that and put her stuff with the other's lead, looking at other buff men just working out. some look hideous, their faces contorting in pain while working out and some others look like it's such a breeze for them. "my main goal.. hahahaha. uhm, i have no idea other than that i don't want to have broken bones and muscles. stamina building is also one of the things i want to achieve here. I work with animals; some are too huge now for me to lift single-handedly and some others, i can. still at the end of the day, my back have always hurt somehow. Uhm, i also want to look for someone attractive here but however my image of a gym rat is just.. outta the window."

@✽ inah s. jackson extends a hand towards the female and claims her hand for a good shake while gesturing her to follow him inside. "hey there, nice to meet you. are you ready for today's routine?" he grins as he turns his head towards hers and helps her put her stuff down on the locker area before heading onto the main part of the gym. "by the way, what's your main goal? do you want to lose weight? gain muscles? or find someone attractive here? kidding. aha. let me know so i can better help you."

@✽ jackson w. her hand tightly grips on her exercise tote bag, her gaze searching for possible exits lest the trial went terribly wrong. she then begins to pace around the lobby just to calm her nerves and pauses to read/examine the poster hung up on the bulletin board about some yoga classes starting up soon. inah then makes an uturn towards the entrance where she can see an array of machines threatening to murder her muscles when she spots a man, finely cut body and all, coming up to her. with a bow of her head, she places a grin on her visage and nods a few times. "yeah, i'm inah. pleasure meeting you!" of course, her stiff grin is going to show how nervous she is really about this new gym routine.

@✽ inah s. everyday is gym day for jackson as he thinks it's a waste of a day without having to break thousands of sweat. so with his gym bag on his back, he brings it to the gym locker and switches on his gym clothes. afterwards, he head onto setting up his body building equipment and makes a few chit chats with his co-gym rats as they talk about different exercises or techniques. after a while, he checks on the alarm of his phone reminding him that he someone booked a personal training with him tonight. "oh dang, gotta go man. i have a client today. let's catch up some other time." he pats the shoulder of his friend and jogs his way towards the lobby to check on his client. his eyes wander around till he sees a slender physique standing right in the lobby counter. he takes a few steps closer and waves his hand with his signature charming smile. "hey there, good evening. are you inah?"

@✽ chan l. Jongho beamed. His first real friend in Dandelion was coming to hang out with him at his apartment! This was so exciting. He let chan in on what he had planned to do for the rest of the workout, he just had to do his burpees and a set of lunges before hitting the treadmill for a quick half kilometer. Once they were both done with their respective exercises and wiped down, Jongho started the walk back to his apartment. It wasn’t too far, maybe 12 minutes in total. “So I’ve never asked- how long have you lived here?”

@✽ jackson w. almost every evening once she had straightened her back from bending over surgical tables to look at animals or during surgeries, she could not help but to groan every time. it wasn't just bending over, lifting up huge animals that she could carry before had became more of a chore and it wasn't easy bending her poor knees without thinking she could have heard it creak. although she might be young, she had not execrised in a while and the last she did was being in an all girls' volleyball team in middle and high school. after making inquires and making an appointment, she came all the way down to the gym and pushed open the door, leaning over the reception counter with a nervous smile. "hello there, my name is seol inah and i'm here for my pt training session. a tryout or something as spoken over the phone," she said while her gaze darted everywhere at equipments which oozed dark, gloomy aura. the receptionist checked the system and nodded that she indeed had an appointment and made a call to someone, alerting that his/her client was here, telling her to wait a while for her trainer was on his/her way.

@✽ jongho c. “Ooh, sometimes I am here in the late mornings, mostly on days where I don’t have work, self-imposed work or not! I gotta be an early bird because I have a shop to keep open most days.” he replied, chuckling and grabbing his water bottle that was by the stair master, taking a swig before swishing it in his mouth slightly before swallowing. Chan let out a slightly embarrassed snicker when Jongho patted him on the bicep, rubbing it afterwards. “God! I wish it was buffer, but what can I do? Bulking these kids up takes time, like you said!” At his gym buddy’s answer, he almost sighed in relief. Finally, a chance for them to actually hang out and bond, outside the premises of the gym. “That would be wicked! After we finish our reps we can walk over to your place then!” Chan still had the rest of his workout to do, but he’d gladly rush through it to hang out with Jongho before they lost any more time with eachother.

@✽ chan l. Jongho’s smile never faded as he listened to his- friend? were they friends? he certainly hoped so!- speak. He nodded his head as he listened to his schedule, “aaah, I gotcha. That makes sense! I’m usually here late morning, like 10:30 or 11. I’m not such an early bird.” He chuckled as he jabbed at himself, keeping his tone light and playful. From the moment he had met chan, the two clicked in an instant. They were basically the same person, just in two different bodies. They had the same mannerisms, the same jovial attitude, everything! As chan commented on his workout for the day, he patted the other on the bicep with excitement, “you’re looking buff, brother!” At his next question, he perked up even more, if that was possible, “oh, no I’m free! Wanna come by my apartment for smoothies?”

@✽ jongho c. The bro hug between the two guys was quick but very clearly filled with excitement. They had always been quite cheerful around the other, could have been the endorphins kicking in from exercise, so just them generally enjoying each other's company. Chan had always wanted to hang out with Jongho outside the gym, which was rare as they rarely saw each other outside unless they were exercising. “Yeah, we should! I’m here like five days a week! But mostly in the early mornings or almost before closing. Work work, ya know! Sometimes in the afternoons when I’m feeling crazy, haha!” Chan took off the headphones that were hanging over his neck, not wanting them to get too sweaty and he wiped his bare arms clean from sweat as well. “Nice! It’s actually arm day for me, so probably some bench presses later!” he chirped, laughing afterwards with his signature hearty laugh. “Ya busy after today’s session? Just wondering…”

@✽ chan l. Jongho initiated a bro hug with chan after the other patted him on the back with a jovial grin. He was so excited to see the other! Chan had always been kind to him, he wondered if he should invite the other to get a smoothie after their workout was complete. That would be fun, he thought to himself. “We do miss each other often! We should set up specific days where we can hit full workouts together.” He suggested with a nod. He pushed his hair back that was matted to his forehead, giving a soft chuckle at chan’s guess, “leg day. These thighs don’t bulk up themselves, y’know.” He gave a gentle laugh, his gums poking out, “What about you? What’s the plan for you today?”

@✽ jongho c. Chan had decided to visit the gym a little bit earlier than usual that day. He had some choreography planned out so his body had to be fit and visually up to standard before he could post videos about it. It was actually arm day that day but he was doing some light cardio on the stair master for a while, his music blaring at maximum volume through his headphones, droplets of sweat coming from his forehead, neck and back. He felt a little tap on his shoulder and turned his head, seeing his friendly gym buddy saying hi and he gave him a wave, taking off his earphones. His cycle on the stair master was almost one so he ended it early. “Hey, Jongho, my dude! How have you been? I feel like we’ve been missing each other these days.” he replied cheerfully, getting off the stair master and patting Jongho on the back. “Let me guess…” Chan started, surveying the other guy’s appearance. “Leg or ab day?”
