Exercise (5)

While Jin Seo-won changes into training clothes.

After getting out of the cave for a while, I sat down on a low rock and savored the subtle scent of radish flowers spread across the stream, reminiscing about what happened in the past.

‘I didn’t know I would come here again… .’

A long time ago, when Seol Joo-hee awakened her powers and was building up her skills.

I went looking for Do Won-hyang, who appeared in the original novel, to grow her.

In the original novel, it was a place where Seol Joo-hee solved a certain case and found a hint,

Fortunately, it was easier to find than I thought thanks to the unusual setting of a large tombstone with the zodiac sign on it and the author left the place name.

At that time, I and Seol Joo-hee were also a bit immature, so I was lost in many ways… .

I even forgot about a week without any income while imitating the original and training.

Because the screens installed in the hot springs fell, they quarreled over seeing each other naked and ate them for several days.

thinking back… .

Perhaps from then on, I became close with Seol Joo-hee.

… It’s all gone now, though.

“… came.”

I woke up to Jinseowon’s voice, which came out just in time to change clothes, and I turned around without thinking and looked at her.

and.

“uh… .”

I was captivated for a moment by the sight of her coming in unexpectedly.

With her brown short hair, which usually covered most of her face, arranged in a half bundle, she was as white as snow and showed a neat appearance like a doll without emotions… .

Contrary to his modest appearance, he was wearing quite radical attire.

She usually wore a hoodie or training suit with her skin tightly wrapped around her, but she was wearing a black tank top with a cool clavicle and black leggings that went up to her lower belly.

‘… When did you buy this again? ?’

I was blinded for a moment by her pure white flesh revealed through her black top and bottom, then I suddenly came to my senses and spoke to her, pretending nothing was wrong.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen clothes… . Did you buy a new one?”

OK.

Jin Seo-won, as if strangely embarrassed, avoided his gaze and nodded while gently covering his lower abdomen.

“uh… . okay. pretty It looks perfect for training.”

I ended the topic with moderate praise,

“… … .”

Jin Seo-won seemed to like my compliments so much, and he carefully made eye contact with a strangely satisfied look on his face.

So after all preparations are done.

We headed to a nearby waterfall for full-scale training.

quaah

A small waterfall that is transparent enough to reveal the inside and falls into the middle of a huge pond.

Beneath the waterfall, there was a single beautifully sculpted one, unknown to whom it was made.

This is our training place.

“I will go over there. Come on in.”

Taking off my shoes and feet in preparation for getting wet, I slowly approached the waterside, stepping on the blunt pebbles.

with a splash… with a splash…

Unconsciously shivering from the freshness that spreads from my toes, I slowly turned my head to look at Jinseowon.

“Come in.”

By the way… .

“… … .”

For some reason, Jin Seo-won was staring at the water with a strangely frozen expression.

‘… Are you afraid of water?’

After a moment of bewilderment at the unexpected obstacle, I turned again and approached her and gently held out my hand.

“Come on, I’ll catch you, so take off your shoes and come in. It only comes up to the thigh.”

Then Jin Seo-won glanced at my hand and… .

Suck-

He gently grabbed my hand and made a rare, painful sound.

“… Really?”

Maybe it was right to be afraid of water.

‘A heavenly horse that is afraid of water.’

Thuuk- Thuuk-

Holding her hand tightly and taking off her shoes and socks with the other hand, she slowly entered the water one step at a time, as if putting her feet into poison.

oh oh oh… …

As if responding to the cold, her hand tightened more and more strongly.

I slowly grabbed her hand and explained about the training so she could get used to the water.

“Can you see the flat stone over there? I’m going to train up there today.”

“… What, in the water?”

Jin Seo-won stutters to the end as if a little frightened.

Slightly sadistic aroused by her agitated appearance, I joked about it with a bit of exaggeration.

“Do you often appear on TV? A scene where you practice while hitting the waterfall. Today I’ll be sitting there until you can breathe underwater.”

OK.

tall-

She suddenly stopped walking and grabbed my hand.

“… really?”

It was like a child forced to do something he didn’t want to do.

‘cute.’

In the end, unable to hold back my laughter and raised the corners of my mouth, I gently pulled her hand and said.

“I will join you too. So don’t worry.”

“… together… ?”

“no? It would probably take a week to do it alone… , if you want to be in the water for a week by yourself, I’ll let you go.”

“… That’s not it… .”

Jinseowon didn’t want to train alone, so he jumped up and rushed to catch up.

I grabbed her hand and briefly explained the purpose of today’s training.

The goal of today’s training is to be able to breathe while hitting the waterfall, as I said before.

However, it does not mean simply inhaling and exhaling, but breathing in a comprehensive sense.

There has been a water torture that forcibly prevents falling asleep by dropping a drop of cold water on a person’s head for a long time.

It is not easy to focus on the cold waterfall.

In order to concentrate, it is fundamentally necessary to stabilize the body and mind through stable breathing.

Therefore, it is not just about honing your breathing, it is about cultivating the ability to refine your breathing and focus your mind even in extreme situations.

“Time passes several times slower here than outside. Because we took 3 days 2 nights… . It will be about ten days.”

“… yes?”

Jinseowon’s eyes widened as if surprised by the fact that he would be imprisoned here for ten days.

To be honest, it is not surprising that this place is less comfortable than modern civilization.

still… .

From the perspective of staying here for a month, I think 10 days is a pretty good deal.

“The goal is to breathe in two days. The sooner the better.”

“… … .”

“Can you?”

Jin Seo-won, who had been in trouble for a while, nodded his head and showed his will.

I grabbed her hand and slowly walked towards the waterfall.

aa than not

A waterfall that pours water with a frightening force.

No matter how small a waterfall, if you get close to it, its momentum is enormous.

“Whew… .”

Taking a short deep breath, I pulled Jinseowon’s faintly trembling hand and slowly approached the stone sculpture under the waterfall.

ok ok… …

Don’t let go of her hand, she clasped her hand and followed me.

*

Shoot aa …

A cold stream of water rushing down your head.

Although he had adapted to some extent, Jinseowon, who had not yet been able to wash away his fear of water, was facing the waterfall while crouching.

“… … .”

Even though Jin Seo-won heard all the explanations, he still did not understand Do Ji-hyeok’s intentions.

All I could do was breathe with my head bowed down, but I couldn’t figure out how to get the correct posture and breathe.

‘How is the producer doing… ?’

Jin Seo-won, who raised her opposite hand to cover her eyes, narrowed her eyes and looked at Do Ji-hyuk… .

“… … .”

Even in the strong water, he maintained his correct posture to the point that he might have fainted.

‘… Awesome… .’

at that time.

tremble-

Do Ji-hyuk, who had been silent the whole time, trembled.

“!”

Jin Seo-won felt like he was caught doing something else, so he hurriedly corrected his posture and started pretending to focus on training.

“… Fufu… .”

And that moment when I was getting farther away from concentration as I barely exhaled harshly through the cracks in the water flowing down my face.

Ugh… Ugh…

As if Do Ji-hyeok was about to say something, he wiggled his fingers and started stroking Jin Seo-won’s hand softly.

“… … ?”

It was a natural story, but Jin Seo-won could not understand what he was trying to say.

Just the warmth of his faintly transmitted through the cold water… .

It was all I could feel the light warmth like a candle flickering in the wind and rain.

“… … .”

10 minutes passed like that.

30 minutes pass.

Even when the 60 minutes have already passed.

Ugh… Ugh…

Do Ji-hyuk still did not stop rubbing Jin Seo-won’s hand,

‘… What do you want to say?’

Suddenly, Jin Seo-won began to focus on Do Ji-hyeok’s play with his hands, completely forgetting that he was afraid of water.

Without realizing it, he was pouring his whole soul into him.

‘… what… ?’

In the meantime, the head, which had been bowed deeply, was lifted at will and turned to the front,

The cold skin gradually became blunt from the cold,

The heart, which had been beating irregularly in line with the never-ending stream of water, suddenly regained its calm.

But… .

The only thing Jin Seo-Won could feel was the faint warmth of Do Ji-Hyeok at his fingertips.

Just as he looked more closely to make sure he couldn’t see it, he concentrated all his nerves on his fingertips to feel his warmth more closely.

“… … .”

And like that, after about 2 hours in the waterfall.

At one point, when we were quietly concentrating on each other’s body temperature.

Miscellaneous thoughts began to seep into Jinseo-won’s mind, who had free time.

‘… Did you train like this with Seol Joo-hee?’

Jin Seo-won is a photo I checked in the cave, and I could tell that Seol Joo-hee and Do Ji-hyuk practiced together in the past… .

Since Do Ji-hyuk’s method is the method, I naturally associated it with Seol Joo-hee.

‘… I would have held your hand like this… .’

In fact, for Jin Seo-won, holding hands with the opposite s*x didn’t mean much.

It was even more so because she had been living a life without s*xual desire until recently.

However.

‘… how much?’

Jealousy and envy existed in Jinseowon as well.

‘How long did you practice?’

Without realizing it, she started comparing herself to Seol Joo-hee.

Although they are from different schools, they have similar abilities, use the same kwonbeop, and have been trained in the same place by the same teacher.

Although it was not a clear comparison target, the standards of Do Ji-hyeok, who taught both of them, would be sufficient to divide up and down.

As long as I’ve noticed exactly that… .

The desire to win was natural.

‘… Breath… . uh?’

Jin Seo-won, who belatedly realized that he was concentrating and breathing stably, was surprised inside and recalled the goal that Ji-hyuk Do had set earlier.

‘Two days… !’

Do Ji-hyuk completed the training he took for two days in just a few hours!

‘… I must have been faster than Seol Joo-hee?’

Jin Seo-won clearly thought that Do Ji-hyuk would give him an edge over Seol Joo-hee… .

Among the hunters he raised, the best would be Seol Joo-hee, who ranked first in the power ranking.

If you defeat her, you will become the one and only best disciple in effect.

‘I… . best… ?’

A valuable team member and the best disciple.

Jin Seo-won, who was hungry for affection, felt a thrilling sense of the relationship.

“… … .”

He pierced through the cold skin, soaked in the warmth coming from his lower abdomen, and inadvertently raised the corners of his mouth.

It was the first day of training.
