I slipped into my workout clothes.
[70.0kg]
Weighed myself.
'One. Two. One. Two.'
Stretching as I went.
'Skinny.'
I glanced at Im Jun-ho.
He was running on the treadmill. His body had improved a lot compared to the beginning. His running form was solid too.
'The day he calls me skinny isn't far off.'
Manbok Gym was closing its doors in two months. Soon, my connection with Im Jun-ho would be gone.
Ha-yeon's beauty is legendary. Pure radiance.
Refining myself nonstop until the day I confess to Ha-yeon!
I furrowed my brow. I didn't like this guy eyeing Ha-yeon. Couldn't look at him with kind eyes.
'Screw it.'
Time to focus on my workout.
[Athletic Achievement 170 created.]
[Reward: 100]
Hopped on the treadmill.
'I've really changed a lot.'
With A-rank Athletic Talent and gym experience combined, I could train more efficiently than ever.
My body was unrecognizable. Muscles had filled out my once-flabby frame, giving me a solid build.
'At least I won't get called a loser anymore.'
I felt proud and satisfied watching myself grow day by day.
Checked my weights.
Yesterday, mine had been 250kg.
'Nice!'
Finally.
I lifted 260kg.
'Yes! I did it!'
I clenched my fist. A meaningful milestone. I was better than yesterday's me.
'Feels great.'
The sense of accomplishment was huge. Satisfaction overflowing. A bright smile spread across my face from the rising euphoria.
[Athletic Achievement 170 achieved.]
[Acquired 100 points.]
Scored 100 points.
Opened the status window.
Opened the shop.
[Virility Boost Pills x 10]
Bought the items and swallowed them.
Virility: 24.0 → 25.0
Stamina at 22.
Plus a 110% bonus over average male stamina.
With the extra stamina, daily life felt even easier.
Virility 25.
Now I could cum once every 18 hours.
Sex was still tough, but a tiny bit better.
Shoulders 6.
Shoulders widened by 1.2cm.
Stepped into the gym office.
"Thank you so much. Thanks to you, Piggy, my dad's face is bright again. His worries are gone. I love you."
Park Ha-yeon threw herself into my arms.
"Opening a gym and managing funds? That's just an excuse, right? You knew Dad was struggling and made up a reason to help."
"……."
I smiled instead of answering.
Silent affirmation.
"Thank you so much. I'm really touched."
"I just want Ha-yeon to be happy."
"Thank you. Honey, sit here."
Park Ha-yeon led me to the sofa.
As I sat, she pulled down my pants. Kneeling on the bare floor, she buried her face in my crotch.
"I'll make you feel good."
Park Ha-yeon sucked my dick with her mouth. Rougher than usual, but full of care.
"Tissues?"
She shook her head no.
Swallowed my load.
Ha-yeon usually didn't swallow, but on really good days, she did.
"Hah... your cum tastes good, honey."
She grimaced, struggling through it.
Delivery arrived. Two portions of soft tofu stew and one pork cutlet. Park Ha-yeon paid.
"Dig in."
"Yeah. Eat up."
After the meal.
"Here."
Park Ha-yeon handed me a paper bag.
"What's this?"
"A gift. Not expensive. Saw it shopping with a friend and thought it'd suit you, Piggy."
Checked the contents.
"Oh?! A hat?"
"Yeah."
Park Ha-yeon's gift was a black hat.
Unwrapped it and tried it on. Looked in the mirror. It suited me perfectly.
"How's it look? Good?"
"Handsome! It fits great!"
"Thanks. I'll wear it well."
"Hehe. No biggie. I'm more thankful."
Ha-yeon, beaming innocently, looked a hundred times prettier than usual.
She was so lovable, I had her for dessert.
Left the gym.
'Heh heh.'
Kept touching the hat on my head.
'Feels good.'
Couldn't resist.
Had to get Ha-yeon a gift too.
'Necklace?'
Or a bracelet?
A watch would be nice too.

Achieved it, but didn't stop reading.

Phone rang.
On silent, so I missed it.
'Fun.'
Enjoying it.
'Happy.'
Satisfied.
'All done.'
Last page. Closed the book, stretched.
"Ughhh!"
Stiff body screamed.
Quick stretch to loosen up.
Grabbed my phone.

Whoa? Two A-youngs?
Your real sister or what?
Kekeke, it's my mom!
We get that a lot—people think we're sisters.
Sometimes she feels more like a sister than mom.
Wow, total twins?
She's got such a youthful look!
Yep. Mom's super youthful.
She's 36, looks just like me in my 20s.
From the story, sounded like she got pregnant young from some mishap.
Pure Cosmetics hit 22k won, now down to 18k.
Looks like it'll keep dropping, no rebound in sight.
Free today? I'll buy hanwoo beef.
Lol, bought at 4k, sold at 20k range.
Short-term downtrend, long-term up I think.
Today? Yeah, free. See you later. Beef sounds amazing lol.
First round on you, second on me? I'll treat to something nice.
Kruu!! Jackpot. Bought low, sold high.
Haha sure. Let's stuff ourselves today. Got some books I've been deeply into as gifts.
Reading going well?
Haha sounds delicious. Fun times. See ya ^___^
Yeah, just read. Usually 1-1.5 books a day. Up to 2 on heavy days.
Wow? Incredible! Total transformation in no time.
Kruu!! Awesome!! So cool. Respect.
Haha thanks.
Chatted with Yi Myeong-ho for a while.
'Myeong-ho hyung is a really good guy.'
Got to treat good people well.
Yi Myeong-ho was on my "treat well" list.
'Want to recruit Myeong-ho hyung to YSP Enter.'
'Competent and diligent—perfect for the company.'
'Planned to hang with Mi-yeon tonight, but Myeong-ho hyung first, Mi-yeon tomorrow.'
Checked KakaoTalk more.
Son, Mom and Dad are in France now. Touring the sights.
Thank you so much. Europe trip thanks to you. So happy and fun. Love you tons.

[Random Luck Note]
Yi Myeong-ho regretted it. Stock doubled+, but only got 120% gains.
Met Yi Myeong-ho.
"Hyung? You okay?"
His complexion was off.
"Not sick, just tired."
Workload was insane.
"Hyung, maybe tonic instead of beef?"
Changed the menu.
Ordered two portions of black goat hotpot at Black Goat House.
"Company super busy?"
"Don't ask. Company grew, but staff short, workload killing me."
"Tough break."
"Nah. You? Business going well?"
"Smooth. Sales climbing daily, staff competent and steady."
"Congrats."
"Thanks. One issue though."
Problem? What problem?
"Hard to find the talent I want. Want to expand, but no satisfying hires."
Struggling with recruitment.
The talent Jin-seong wanted: character plus skills.
As rare as unique Pokémon.
"How about Seoul?"
"Pardon?"
"Finding talent in provinces vs. Seoul—Seoul's 100x more efficient."
"Ah...?"
The moment he heard Yi Myeong-ho's advice.
Jin-seong decided to open an office in Seoul.
