Chapter 29: I’m Too Embarrassed to Go On!
“Oh, you’re here?”
I opened the door and greeted the new member.
“Ahem, hello.”
Ye-seul tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and bowed her head.
During her first PT session, she had been with Miju. Because of that, it had been difficult to focus properly on the training. I had told her to come alone for her next visit.
Miju had wanted to come along, but she couldn't skip her classes. And so, Ye-seul arrived by herself.
She was dressed in very casual attire. She wore a wide-fitting white shirt under a deep V-neck black vest, paired with short white shorts. The shorts ended well above her knees, highlighting her thick thighs that tapered down from her hips. It was that "effortless" look that really caught the eye.
“Did your classes go well?”
“Yes. Miju said she couldn't make it today because of her schedule.”
“I heard. Are you really okay with doing the PT session alone?”
“Yes, I’m fine.”
“Then, come on in.”
Whew.
I was a little nervous. It wasn't so much sexual arousal as it was the pressure. Unlike Miju or Heo Da-young, she was a paying client. The weight of providing a service worth the money pressed down on me.
“Would you like to put this on first?”
“Is this the gym wear?”
“It’s the same one you wore last time.”
“Ah, that… that one….”
The look in her eyes shifted slightly.
[Starting the PT Program.]
Perhaps the memory of that time resurfaced as the hypnosis took hold. Ye-seul’s face flushed slightly. Looking a bit bashful, she took the gym wear and headed into the game room. Under the hypnosis, all the women perceived that room as the changing room.
“Go ahead and change. I’ll be getting ready.”
“Okay! I understand.”
Once Ye-seul went inside, I checked the system.
[Hwang Ye-seul]
[Member Level - 5]
[She trusts the words of the trainer, Jae-ho.]
[The member's level is higher than the trainer's level. Strong persuasion is required.]
[She is currently questioning the active hypnosis: 'It is natural to exercise while naked.']
[Active Hypnosis: It is natural to exercise while naked.]
[Concern 1 – Worried about small breasts.]
[Concern 2 – Worried about arm fat.]
[Concern 3 – Thinks her body always looks fat in photos.]
[Pre-session satisfaction is high. She is developing trust in your words.]
[Due to high satisfaction, recommended exercises are registered.]
[Recommended Exercises – Stretching, Dumbbell Kickback, Bench Dips]
[Recommended Equipment – Sit-up Board, Yoga Mat]
[Satisfaction: 70/100]
[Warning! The member's level is higher than the trainer's. There is a high probability of failure.]
The first PT session was crucial. Even more important than the preliminary training was the first session after officially registering as a member. If things went south here, she might quit being a member altogether. If that happened, she might escape this place….
Wait.
What happens if the hypnosis breaks and the membership is canceled? Would she suddenly snap out of it and start screaming? I’d become a criminal in an instant.
[The moment the hypnosis is lifted, all memories of this place will be forgotten.]
[However, the person will never be invited to the gym again.]
The status window spoke as if it had read my mind. Just then—
“I’m all changed.”
Ye-seul said as she stepped out of the changing room.
“Oh.”
Unlike Miju, the chest area was a bit loose on her, but the dolphin shorts clung tightly to her hips and buttocks.
Was the size smaller than I thought?
The fit was dangerously revealing, showing the curve of her lower butt cheeks.
“Th-this is okay, right?”
“O-of course.”
It wasn't like I had prepared these clothes out of a personal desire to see her incredible hips. Definitely not. My eyes kept drifting toward her prominent rear and thighs. She said she didn't exercise much—was she just born this way? It was impressive. I felt a sudden urge to help her develop her lower body even more.
“Shall we get started?”
“Yes….”
Ye-seul hesitated for a moment.
“Is something wrong?”
“Oh, it’s nothing, but….”
Ye-seul glanced around and asked in a small voice.
“I have to take these off here, right?”
“Huh?”
“I have to be naked to exercise.”
Huh?
Ye-seul was hesitating. She should have thought it was natural. Was the hypnosis effect weakening? Only then did I notice the notification about her questioning the hypnosis.
Ding!
[Induce a sense of shame in the members while they exercise.]
[The more embarrassed they feel, the more SP you will earn.]
The system message popped up as if it had been waiting for this exact moment—as if telling me to take advantage of the situation. Since feeling a bit of shame would help me gain SP….
“Of course. Were you planning on keeping them on?”
“N-no, it’s not that….”
“Then let’s just do it without taking them off.”
“What?”
Ye-seul blinked back at me. I thought of a way to gain both HP and SP at the same time. Simply exercising naked would make her feel shy, but it would also raise doubts. She would wonder: Is it really right to exercise naked? It would be the moment her reality diverged from her common sense.
So, what could provide both exercise and shame?
[Active Hypnosis: It is natural to exercise while naked.]
I would use this. If she believed exercising naked was natural, then exercising with clothes on would actually feel more shameful. And if we repeated that…. Well, I’d find out what happens next when we got there.
Hwang Ye-seul was a woman whose level was much higher than my trainer level. The preliminary PT had worked well only because of her chemistry with Miju. Without Miju here, I had no idea when the hypnosis might fail. It was a gamble. I didn't know the odds of success, but I had to take the risk.
“You want me to… exercise with my cl-clothes on?”
“Yes.”
“….”
Ye-seul looked down at her body. She remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.
“O-okay. I understand.”
As she answered, Ye-seul’s face turned bright red for some reason. It worked. The moment she gave the okay, I was already halfway to success.
“Then, shall we begin?”
*
Dressed in her gym wear, Ye-seul worked up a sweat on the sit-up board. Every time she moved, her lean muscles twitched. Her smooth skin glistened with perspiration.
“Pant, pant. Another one?”
“Yeah, let’s do just one more set.”
I watched Ye-seul as she performed bench dips. With her arms supported by the sit-up board, she repeatedly bent and straightened them.
“This is so hard….”
It wasn't just the bench dips that were exhausting her. We had already finished stretching, yoga, and some light cardio before moving on to the dips.
“This is the last set.”
I watched Ye-seul’s movements intently. Her sweat-soaked hair. Her heavy breathing. Her chest rising and falling in rhythm, and the way her muscles shifted whenever she exerted force. I stared at her every move. Feeling the weight of my gaze, Ye-seul turned her body slightly, as if trying to hide herself.
“One… two….”
As Ye-seul bent and straightened her arms, sweat trickled down. The most striking thing about her while she exercised was, without a doubt…
Her butt….
It was Ye-seul’s uplifted rear, framed by her wide hips. My eyes kept drifting there every time her hips rose. How should I put it…? To put it a bit pervertedly, I felt like burying my face in them. Especially whenever I saw the skin of her lower butt peeking out from under the dolphin shorts, beaded with sweat.
Gulp.
I reflexively swallowed hard. Sweat dripped from Ye-seul’s thighs. Her panting chest moved up and down repeatedly. Her gym wear was slightly damp with sweat, causing the fabric to cling to her skin. It was likely due to the body-shaping effect of the clothes.
Wait, is she… not wearing underwear?
The contours of her breasts were clearly visible through the clinging top. I could even see her nipples poking through. If she were wearing a bra, that would never happen….
My observation was cut short.
“Haa, haa… I’m all done.”
“Are you okay?”
“….”
Having finished the exercise, Ye-seul avoided my eyes. Then, she covered her chest and groin with her hands.
“What’s wrong?”
“I-I’m embarrassed….”
“Huh? What are you embarrassed about?”
“Th-that’s….”
Ye-seul’s lips quivered, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.
“Are you hurting somewhere?”
She shook her head. Struggling to find the words, Ye-seul bit her lip hard. And then—
“Aah! I’m too embarrassed, I can’t do this anymore!”
Ye-seul squeezed her eyes shut and shouted. It was so loud I reflexively covered my ears. Before I could even respond—
Swish!
Ye-seul whipped off the gym wear she was wearing. The clothes slid to the floor, revealing her sweat-drenched naked body to the world. As if it were the most natural thing to do, she stripped composedly.
She really wasn't wearing underwear?
Ye-seul had been exercising under those clothes without a single stitch of underwear. As the top came off, her pert breasts were revealed. As the shorts fell, I saw the area slightly veiled by her pubic hair. Having stripped, Ye-seul looked at me with a face full of relief.
“S-Senior, were you trying to turn me into a pervert?”
Standing there completely naked, Ye-seul shouted at me with a slightly angry expression.
“No, I wasn't.”
“Th-then why… why did you keep telling me to exercise with my cl-clothes on?”
She finally asked. She had felt humiliation and shame at the very act of exercising while clothed. I cleared my throat nonchalantly and spoke.
“You were resistant to exercising naked at first.”
“….”
“Are you okay now?”
“I-I’m fine.”
Despite saying she was fine, Ye-seul squirmed and avoided my gaze.
“D-don't make me do that again.”
“Do what?”
“Ex-exercising with clothes on! I felt like some kind of flasher. I-I’m not an exhibitionist!”
Ye-seul shouted while standing there stark naked. Saying that in her current state gave her zero credibility. I forced myself to swallow the retort that was threatening to pop out. I didn't want to ruin everything at the finish line.
“Alright. From now on, let’s start by taking our clothes off.”
“That’s much better. Hehe.”
I seriously almost had a nosebleed. At that moment, a new status window appeared.
[The system applauds your strategy.]
[You have successfully obtained HP and SP by inducing exercise while clothed.]
[Additional rewards are granted for your spectacular performance.]
[We hope you put them to good use.]
The status window vanished, and my right hand began to glow. Startled by the sudden light, I lifted my hand. In it, I was holding small rotors. Four of them, to be exact.
“Wh-what is this?”
[This is a gift from us.]
How am I supposed to take this with Ye-seul right in front of me? I was already on the verge of being called a pervert.
[Member Hwang Ye-seul will perceive the rotors as exercise equipment.]
What?
Reflexively, I looked at Ye-seul. She was looking at me and the rotors in my hand with innocent eyes. Even though she had been staring at the objects for several seconds—
“What are those? Exercise equipment?”
She narrowed her eyes as if she genuinely didn't know.
She really meant it.
