Pump Up the Healthy Love (24시 헬스클럽)

[This is a work of fiction. Characters and settings are fictitious.]

What nice weather.

So beautiful. Seriously.

What good karma did I build in my previous life

that I met a man like you?

I'm not sure.

You must've saved your country, at least.

I saved the universe.

Guys, let's eat fried chicken!

Perfect timing. Seriously.

You always choose the perfect moment-

- Are you happy? - Yes, I am.

Eat slowly. You'd get indigestion.

Here, here, here.

Thank you, Sister-in-law.

Yes, Brother-in-law. Hey, take bigger bites.

Why are you psyching yourself up?

What? What do you mean?

The distance and angle of your eyebrows.

The lost-looking eyes.

You make that face when you're psyching yourself up.

And here's conclusive evidence.

The fried chicken is in front of you,

but the corners of your mouth are drooping.

Even the words 'fried chicken' should make you smile.

But what's with that mouth?

Are you still denying it?

Babe, you were like a pro pilot just now.

Profiler, not a pro pilot.

And I'm treating you because I wanted to celebrate today.

- Don't pick a fight. - Celebrate?

I succeeded today for once in my life.

- I saved my face. - What?

You know how many times I've been humiliated, right?

I know. Geez.

I would've left the country already if I were you.

I avoided that today. So dramatically.

What are you saying?

I almost confessed my love today.

Confess... Who?

You mean, the blind date?

- Wrong! - The gym director?

Bingo!

The gym...

How did you know?

I saw it when you were working out at the gym.

Your smitten face resembled mine.

It was like how I look at Ji Ran.

Babe.

Yes.

I thought I was mistaken at first, but

it turns out I do like him.

Once I admitted that I liked him, I thought I was screwed.

But do you know what I saw in that moment?

Kang Sol and the Director leaving a hotel.

Isn't that such a relief?

The man you like

left a hotel with another woman. That's a relief?

It's a total relief.

What if I saw that after I confessed my love?

That would've been humiliating.

If I'm humiliated, I can't go to the gym.

But I won't work out anywhere else anymore.

Why? Because I'm addicted to the fitness fanatic's method.

I would've gotten so weak

and suffered from a bent neck and slouchy back. I basically struck gold.

A man and a woman leaving a hotel

doesn't necessarily mean they're dating.

- Right, right. - It doesn't matter.

W-Why does it not matter?

I gave it a lot of thought on the way back.

Let's say I confessed my love, and we're dating.

What comes next is a bigger issue.

Would dating that fitness fanatic make me happy?

W-W-What's wrong?

What the balance?

Balance?

Your neck is completely out of balance.

Gosh, what are you doing? What's this now?

- What- - Stretch.

Look up. Look up.

He'd worry about losing muscles and balance the whole time.

Let's say I put up with it and got married with the power of love.

If then, I'm sure he'd...

Mi Ran!

I love you!

Mi Ran!

I love you!

Lee Mi Ran!

I love you!

Pectoral muscles!

I love you!

Pectoral!

I love you!

How impressive.

The wedding would be a mess because he'd worry about his muscles.

Let's say we got married and stayed together.

The baby is coming out soon! One!

One!

Two!

Two!

Three!

Three!

Four!

Gosh, shut up!

What kind of life would that be?

Doesn't it sound so awful?

But I don't have to go through it if I didn't start.

That's so Honolulu.

So Honolulu? What does that mean?

It means I'm so lucky.

She even considered marrying him.

Gosh, just cry instead.

You aren't even dating him.

Why imagine having a baby with him?

Imagine being together forever

and being by his deathbed, too?

I'm sure he won't shed a tear even in his deathbed.

Why? Because he'd lose his muscles.

You already imagined that scenario.

Unni, please wake up. Unni.

Be quiet. Geez.

Don't worry. I'm fine.

It's not my first time being mistaken or getting dumped.

But this time, even before it started,

I can just give up on my own.

Isn't that such a relief?

Anyway, your sister is no longer a fool

who cries because I couldn't be with a man.

Got it?

I'm going inside.

She must be suffering a lot.

She keeps humming, too.

Is she crying under the cover or something?

Seriously. What do I do?

What do we do?

Director always told me

human bodies always supercompensate.

Supercompensate!

When muscles recover from an injury,

they become stronger.

Your body is getting stronger at this moment.

More! More!

Have the countless heartaches

been training me?

That day, I really felt okay.

- Ms. Lee. - Hello.

Looks like you're feeling great today.

Yes, I think I got more fit after working out.

Cheer up today, too.

Gosh, I feel great.

But no feelings get supercompensated.

Nice.

Gosh. Our gym has such a handsome couple.

It's lifting up my mood.

Did they really not know each other before?

They make too nice of a couple

for people who didn't know each other.

I know. They're like sweet potatoes and dongchimi.

Radish kimchi goes better with sweet potatoes.

Let's eat sweet potatoes. Let's.

Did you sleep well that night?

You know I couldn't sleep even a wink.

You didn't let me sleep.

Seriously. You're so naughty.

Brace yourself.

I won't leave an inch of your body alone tonight, too.

I'll look forward to it.

So good!

Director?

What are you doing here?

I'm a member here, baby.

Betraying baby.

I didn't betray. I always came here.

Where are those two going?

Where are they going, baby?

They must be doing a different workout.

By the way, I thought you were dating Sol.

I am. Don't we make a nice couple?

- Y-Yes. - Of course, we do.

I'm the one who's a good match for her.

- Bong Won. - Yes?

Let's talk.

Bong Won?

Yes, yes.

It's a nickname.

It's a secret nickname just between us.

Okay, baby? See you.

So, are they dating or not?

Why are you here?

You're the director of the gym across the street.

You're here instead of your gym.

It's too weird, Bong Won.

It's because you're here.

D-Did you forget everything?

Do Hyeon Joong only cares about himself.

His body is the only thing that matters to him.

Think about who cares about you, please.

Bong Won, let's be honest.

You say you like me,
