Episode 159. Many (1)
Kangsu bought sportswear and shoes from the store inside the climbing center and went into the changing room.
There were quite a few people inside after work. There was a part of me that was a little worried about this.
However, Park In-soo, who was changing clothes next to him, knew right away because he had considerable experience as a manager.
“It’s a bit unusual here, so you can focus on your workout, so you can’t bring your cell phone. You don’t have to worry about filming because the desk takes care of it before you go in.”
Hong Ah-jin was also a comfortable place to go thanks to that.
“You must have thought of everything, but I think I was overly concerned.”
“no. If it was planned, you would have known in advance. Rather, I heard from Mr. Ajin that he is younger than me. Can I speak comfortably?”
To be precise, Park In-soo was two years older than Kang-soo.
Of course, there was nothing special about the river.
“You can do that.”
“okay? Thank you. Oh, even if you’re good at stunts, climbing is a bit different in difficulty, so I’ll let you know.”
Park In-soo started climbing in his mid-twenties and has more than 10 years of experience. He had enough pride of his own, so he was slightly elated as an older brother rather than Kang-soo.
“i look forward to.”
“Okay, hurry up and change your clothes. The two of you will be waiting for you at the climbing site.”
Hearing his words, Kangsu quickly took off his jacket and shirt.
At the same time, the gazes of the men who were happy around Park In-soo gathered one by one until the silence flowed. It was because of the finely split muscles that settled on Kang-soo’s body and all kinds of scars on them.
“… … .”
In addition, the appearance of the scar was unusual. It wasn’t something that would have happened in a car accident or fall, but it looked like it had been cut or pierced by something. In particular, on the lower right part of the neck, which was usually covered by the shirt collar, there were two cross-cut marks.
Kang-soo was used to it, and it was nothing to do with the gaze he always felt when he changed clothes in a public place.
The climbing outfit was snug so as not to impede movement, revealing the shape of Kang-su’s muscles.
“It’s done.”
“… huh? Ah yes. Shall we go… yo. this?”
Park In-soo, without realizing it, became more talkative.
The two of them left the locker room and entered a place full of rock walls for climbing.
In front, Yoo So-hyun and Hong Ah-jin were standing like models and receiving people’s attention. However, since it was a place to exercise, everyone kept their manners and didn’t talk to each other.
“I’m here… yo. this?”
“and-“
Yoo So-hyun and Hong Ah-jin were at a loss for words as they watched the two return to their hearts content.
Of course it was because of the precipitation. I couldn’t help but be surprised that the shape of the body that was usually covered by a shirt and jacket was clearly revealed.
At the same time, Hong Ah-jin smiled slightly and gave Kang-soo a thumbs up.
“… … ?”
Kangsu did not know what it meant, but it meant that he was grateful for making his eyes happy.
Then, Park In-soo clapped and caught the attention of the three people.
pair— pair—
“Big, big. So let’s get started. After warming up, let’s start with the beginner course. First of all, see how much strength you can endure there and choose a difficulty level. and… Precipitation… Mr. has climbing experience… It’s me?”
Even though Park In-soo said he would let go just a minute ago, it was not easy.
“You can speak comfortably.”
“I will… yo. this? Big! I will.”
I was able to come to my senses because I was worried about the eyes of Yoo So-hyun and Hong Ah-jin, who started looking at me strangely.
In the meantime, Kang-soo answered Park In-soo’s question earlier.
“I did something similar.”
“If it’s something similar… … .”
“I rode a rock.”
“Ah— you mean rock climbing. If so, the difficulty level is higher than that of sport climbing… … .”
Exactly, rock climbing is the kind of climbing a tough rock using a jail, a pickel, or a Mauer Haken.
However, what Kang-soo did was a gun and a knife, to say the least, and it was training that he climbed the rock wall armed with them.
“This is my first time, so please let me know.”
“Is it—is it?”
Education started like that.
On the climbing wall for beginners, Yoo So-hyun and Hong Ah-jin spent time practicing their postures. Even in the meantime, the eyes of the people around them often stayed on them.
Hong Ah-jin was a bit familiar because he had been seen often recently, but it was because of Kang-soo, who, along with Yoo So-hyun, showed a tremendous presence, not even being a celebrity.
“You are doing well. Ah Jin, don’t be greedy to rise higher from where you are now.”
“yes-! teacher!”
Hong Ah-jin, who had climbed a few times, was more proficient.
On the other hand, Yoo So-hyun went up a little and then fell repeatedly. Of course, the floor was covered with soft cushions, so there was little chance of getting hurt at this height.
“Ajin, how do you do this?”
“It is because my sister is too weak. It’s not just about managing it, it’s about doing some strength training from time to time.”
It was a stark difference.
Then, Yoo So-hyun came to the spot where Kang-soo was standing sweating profusely and received water and a towel.
“thank you.”
“It is better not to overdo it.”
“Even though it’s a bit difficult, it’s nice to sweat through exercise after a long time. But doesn’t Mr. Kangsu do it?”
“I have to look after Yoo So-hyun.
“You’re wearing clothes, though.”
While drinking the water, Yoo So-hyun unknowingly glanced at Kang-soo’s upper body with her eyes.
I’ve seen many male actors’ upper bodies undressed in photo shoots or filming movies or dramas. However, even with clothes on, I had never seen muscles that were split as delicately as the precipitation.
Yoo So-hyun’s gaze continued to go upwards and then met Kang-soo.
“Coke—”
“Are you okay?”
“Kek— Kek, it’s okay. I guess it just sounded a little sad.”
Yoo So-hyun, whose face became hot, turned her head and sighed.
Then a male voice came from the other side.
“Sohyeon.”
Surprised, Yoo So-hyun turned her head.
There were two men standing there.
“Seunghyuk’s brother?”
It was Lim Seung-hyeok, famous as a ballad singer. And as a singer, he was Yoo So-hyun’s senior.
“long time no see. It’s the first time since your last activity, so it’s been over 3 years, right?”
“That’s enough. How are you? Oh, have you been here?”
Lim Seung-hyeok’s equipment and atmosphere did not seem to have come once or twice.
Lim Seung-hyeok replied with a bright smile.
“It’s been about three years. Ah— you came with Ah-jin Hong.”
“hello. My name is Ajin Hong.”
Before I knew it, Hong Ah-jin saw him come and came closer.
“One is like a manager… the other… … ?”
It was asking while watching the river. It was because I felt something out of the ordinary when I looked at my appearance or body.
“My name is Yoo So-hyun’s manager, Han Kang-soo.”
“ah-! We used to come out together at TMC. Right? This time, it is known that he took on the stunt himself in ＜My Neighbor Diablo＞… … .”
Rumors about the stunt were all over the entertainment industry. Honestly, it was a great thing that was hard not to get rumors about.
“It just happened to be a good opportunity.”
“Nice to meet you like this.”
In the meantime, the man who was standing with Lim Seung-hyuk stepped out.
“Won’t you introduce me?”
“Ah—this is my friend Kim Jae-jin, who is like Wen-su.”
“The damned Seunghyuk is my friend Kim Jaejin.”
Kim Jae-jin, who introduced himself by saying his name again, smiled coolly.
Yoo So-hyun and Hong Ah-jin burst into laughter at the interesting introduction.
“You seem to be really close with Seunghyuk oppa.”
“We’ve been stuck together since high school.”
Lim Seung-hyuk was dumbfounded by Kim Jae-jin’s explanation attached.
“Did I stick? It’s because you’re bored and follow me around.”
“Hey—look at this. But I admit I was bored.”
Hong Ah-jin tilted her head at the sight of the two bickering.
“if… Damseong Electronics… … Right?”
“hahahahaha, is my face that famous? Ah— it’s embarrassing to say you’re famous in front of celebrities.”
When Kim Jae-jin said this with a real sense of embarrassment, Lim Seung-hyuk added an explanation.
“that’s right. Damsung Electronics Marketing Director. They are famous for their parachutes.”
“You bastard!”
“Right, parachute.”
They kept bickering, and Lim Seung-hyeok pressed Kim Jae-jin and said,
“Did we get in the way of exercising?”
“I was taking a break.”
“I’m glad. Rather… I just overheard someone talking about a male body in the locker room… I can’t help but know who that is. … Right?”
It was said by looking at the river. It was difficult for me to spread the word like that because I didn’t have tolerable muscles.
However, when I came out to the climbing place, there was only one person who could do that.
“It’s because I exercised consistently thinking about my health.”
“ah… Wouldn’t it be hard to see that it was made for health? Rather, if you know how to climb, how about a game with us at speed? It’s been a while since we’ve been doing it alone, so it’s a bit boring. Ah— if manager Hong Ah-jin over there is okay too.”
In the eyes of Lim Seung-hyeok, Yoo So-hyun and Hong Ah-jin were just beginners.
On the other hand, Hong Ah-jin’s manager, Park In-soo, had the body and equipment of a person who had been climbing for a long time. And Kang-soo had no choice but to look like a master at just looking at his body.
“Brother Insoo! Give it a try. You couldn’t even do it properly because you were teaching me and my sister.”
“yes? Me with singer Lim Seung-hyuk? How is that?”
Park In-soo seemed to be a burden.
Lim Seung-hyeok took the lead.
“Jaejin and I have 8 years of experience… How is your manager? Ah, the name… … ?”
“… My name is Park In-soo. And climbing started from college, so I did it for 12 years.”
“Wow—isn’t that a real master? Maybe we’re at a disadvantage. Then, how much experience does Manager Han Kang-soo have?”
Lim Seung-hyuk and Kim Jae-jin’s eyes focused on Kang-soo. It was because I was envious of my body and looked forward to my career.
“I have never done sport climbing before.”
“ah… So, it looks like you did a different exercise. What kind of exercise do you do?”
Everyone looked at Kang-soo with a lot of curiosity and anticipation.
“In the army, I only did iron bars or parallel bars.”
“… ha ha ha. You have a great sense of humor.”
“Instead of that… rock climbing? I did a little something similar.”
Kang-soo remembered what Park In-soo had told him.
Lim Seung-hyeok nodded.
“That’s all right. First of all, Manager Park In-soo’s career is quite high, so how about a game of speed as a team? The difficulty seems to be intermediate, and I cut it by time.”
It was to see who climbed the fastest to a certain height and timed it to see the match.
Park In-soo was just itching to teach. Besides, Hong Ah-jin’s permission was also given away, so it wasn’t bad.
“I am good. Precipitation… How about?”
Because of Kang-soo’s body and atmosphere that I had just seen, I almost raised my words.
In the meantime, Kang-su met Yoo So-hyun’s eyes.
“Are you okay?”
“Try it.”
“All right. Then I will do it too.”
To be honest, it was because the river was slightly itchy.
It was decided that the ropes would be held by team members in turn.
The first was a confrontation between Park In-soo and Kim Jae-jin. Of course, because of Kang-su’s climbing career, the win or loss is decided by adding the time.
“Shall we begin?”
After putting on their equipment, they stood against the wall.
Hong Ah-jin decided to shout the slogan.
Returning life of a retired S-class mercenary
