Corey asked, looking me and Sunwoo up and down.

“Are you doing some exercise on a regular basis?”

I spoke honestly.

“I’m not good at it.”

“why?”

“Because I’m busy with work… … .”

Corey frowned slightly.

“Do you think I exercise because I’m free? Do other people come to the gym because they have nothing to do?”

“Probably not.”

“Being busy is just an excuse for those who don’t want to exercise!”

“… … yes.”

What he said is correct.

When I go to work, I see quite a few employees who wake up early in the morning and exercise before going to work, or exercise at lunchtime instead of lunch.

No matter how busy you are, people who want to exercise will make time to exercise.

And if you think about it, I am the most free person in our company.

David takes care of everything at the company anyway.

Corey stared at me with bewildered eyes for a moment before moving his gaze to the side.

Then Seonwoo straightened his shoulders and spoke confidently.

“I’m playing at home.”

“Homet?”

“yes.”

Corey then muttered as if he was interested.

“Hmm, home resting.”

Then he immediately asked.

“Do you have a home gym at home?”

“no. “I just do bodyweight exercises.”

“You don’t lift any weights?”

“yes. “I think that for muscle hypertrophy, just being able to lift and lower your body freely is enough.”

“Hmm.”

It looks like he doesn’t like it very much.

“So, can you lift and lower your body freely?”

“yes. what… … .”

“Can you do a handstand or pull-ups with one hand?”

Seon-woo made an expression of bewilderment at those words.

“yes? Why do you do that with one hand?”

Corey said in a scolding tone.

“They say you have to do that to be able to lift and lower your body freely!”

“… … .”

You can’t do that yourself, can you?

Corey said, strengthening his arms.

“More than anything, I’ve never seen a guy who plays home games consistently.”

This is truly true.

Of course, there are many people who work hard at home training and have a great body.

But that’s not you.

Corey shook his head.

“Young people these days exercise with such a weak attitude. “I’m very disappointed.”

He must have been truly disappointed, as he looked like a company commander looking at me during his military days.

But then he spoke in a firm voice.

“Now that you’re at my home gym, I need to clearly tell you what today’s workout is like. “Both of you, be prepared.”

“… … .”

I started to feel like I had come here for no reason.

* * *

We did some warm-up exercises under Corey’s guidance.

“The most important thing about exercising is not getting hurt. If you get hurt, you won’t be able to exercise and you will lose money. So, you need to warm up your body sufficiently before you start exercising in earnest.”

The thought of working out with Hollywood actresses makes me a little nervous.

I spoke to Sunwoo in a low voice.

“To work hard. “Don’t embarrass Korean men.”

Seonwoo chuckled.

“Heh! I am a body built by home training. None of your business.”

I just did a few push-ups at home and did a home run.

Unlike this guy who eats overtime and overwork, I have always maintained my health.

So, at least I think I have better physical strength than him.

Since women are watching too, I guess I should show them how to exercise properly.

… … I thought so, 10 minutes later.

“Gasp!”

“Huhhh!”

We both lay on the floor, panting.

I feel like I’m going to die from lack of breathing. When I looked next to me, I saw Seonwoo gagging as if he was going to throw up.

Corey looked at us and said something pitiful.

“I can’t use both.”

I’m dying from a hard time, but hearing these words makes me so sad that I feel like crying.

No, what kind of warm-up exercise do you do with 100 burpees?

Are you crazy?

However, to protest, Jane and her friends who did the same exercise were fine, only sweating a little.

Is this the difference between people who exercise regularly and people who don’t?

My physical strength was this trash… … .

Jane held out a tumbler to me.

“Drink some water.”

“thank you.”

I took a gulp of water.

“Isn’t it hard?”

She said, wiping her sweat with a towel.

“This is worth it.”

After all, a body like this isn’t just created.

Jane said with a bright smile.

“It’s so much fun working out with Miru.”

“me too.”

Actually, I wanted to cry, but I tried to look okay.

Jane held out her hand.

“Let’s work hard together!”

“yes.”

I grabbed her hand and pulled myself up.

I was exhausted after just warming up and wanted to go home, but the real exercise was just beginning.

“I’m only doing one exercise today: squats.”

I was surprised by those words.

“yes? why?”

It’s so hard, why squat?

“There’s a saying that if you don’t have time to do this or that, do squats. “Every exercise starts with squats and ends with squats.”

Corey praised the squat for a while and then demonstrated it himself.

“All you have to do is spread your feet shoulder-width apart, keep your spine natural, go down slowly, and then go up with strength.”

Corey placed the barbell behind his neck and lightly sat down and stood up repeatedly.

220 pounds on each side, for a total of 440 pounds.

How much is it including the barbell weight?

I quietly asked a question.

“What should I do if I get tired while exercising?”

Then Corey said as if it were obvious.

“When things get hard, you have to be strong. “It’s not hard if you work hard.”

“… … .”

Isn’t it because the reason it’s difficult in the first place is because you don’t have the strength?

Anyway, the main exercise has begun.

With guidance and assistance, I gritted my teeth and did squats, and as the sets continued, the weight quickly increased.

I protested because I thought it couldn’t be done.

“That’s the limit. “This weight won’t work.”

Corey then pointed to Emma Mills doing squats next to him.

“I can’t. “Women are good at it too.”

She easily lifted the weight of my refusal.

“… … .”

If you are shy in times like this, you will lose.

I spoke confidently.

“But I can’t do it.”

Sunwoo also spoke quickly.

“It’s impossible to lift this weight.”

“Do you really think so?”

We nodded at the same time.

“yes.”

“Have you ever heard of a mother lifting a car when her baby was trapped under it? If a human has extreme mental power, he can exert as much power as he wants. “Lift the weight that you think is your limit, not with your muscles, but with your mental power!”

“no… … .”

What kind of mental training are you talking about for the Japanese military during the Pacific War?

Corey shouted loudly.

“ruler! “Think your friend is under the car and lift him up!”

At those words, Sunwoo and I looked at each other.

We could tell each other’s thoughts just by looking at each other.

‘Wouldn’t it be okay to just let him be crushed to death?’

I thought that at least it would be better than dying while listening.

“Push off the ground and get up!”

“Uuuu!” “Uuuuu!”

* * *

After the exercise is over.

After washing up, we gathered in the living room.

I thought I had exercised for about 10 hours, but when I looked at the clock, less than an hour had passed.

It was such a hellish time.

I have no strength in my whole body.

Salad and steak were set out on the table.

Corey told us.

“Eat as much as you want. “Even eating can be considered exercise.”

We sat around, ate and talked.

“How’s Darian doing?”

“then. “I’m working hard on filming with director Diaminedi.”

The reason the two are not here is because they are currently filming a movie.

As I said before, the movie I am filming this time is about the Game Start incident.

For reference, the screenplay was co-written by director Diamindy and Trish.

I asked while eating salad.

“Have you heard from the agency about casting for a drama?”

Corey nodded.

“I also saw some of the scenarios. World of Warlord drama. “It looks like the fans are already going crazy.”

“yes.”

No matter how hard you try to crack down on people, it’s bound to leak out somewhere.

The gaming community was excited by the news that a drama was being prepared.

Jane said curiously.

“World of Warlords as a drama? “It would be fun.”

Seonwoo said quietly.

“I’d like you to take on the lead role. How do you think?”

“I’m a little worried.”

There is a good reason for his worries.

The reason is that the previous imaging process virtually failed.

World of Warlords was released as a movie about 10 years ago.

As a famous game IP was being made into a movie, it received media attention and an unprecedented production cost was invested at the time.

The movie that was released with such anticipation… … It was very vague.

What can I say?

It’s not a failure, but it’s not a masterpiece either.

It was just that kind of movie.

As we tried to introduce the world view and characters within a limited time, we were unable to properly convey the fun of the game to game fans, and the story was too complicated for people who had not played the game.

Still, game fans seemed to have enjoyed it to some extent, but the reviews were low and the box office performance was also poor.

A lot of good news was released in part 1, but in the end, part 2 never came out.

Sunwoo spoke confidently.

“So this time, we are planning to produce it as a seasonal drama. We also paid great attention to the story. The World of Warlord development team and writers participated in the scenario work. “I don’t know anything else, but I don’t think it’s a work that will disappoint fans.”

I also persuaded them.

“I think it will be the best fantasy drama.”

Corey said coolly.

“good. “Let’s give it a try.”

“uh! really?”

Corey smiled at me.

“Everything I’ve invested so far has been successful, so won’t I succeed this time too?”

“Investment and drama are a bit different.”

“Wasn’t the investment in producing Seven Rounds successful?”

“Uhm… … .”

From his perspective, this misunderstanding is entirely warranted.

However, the reason I invested in producing Seven Rounds was because I saw the success of the first round.

However, the World of Warlords drama never happened in the first episode, so I don’t know whether it will do well or not.

But since I couldn’t explain it properly, I decided not to say anything.

If you believe it will work out, it will work out.

Corey said as if he remembered something.

“ah! Now that I think about it, there’s Leon Laclair’s birthday party tonight. Would you like to go?”

“Are you Leon Lacle?”

“know?”

“sure.”

Don’t our parents know too?

Leon Laclair.

He started acting when he was a teenager, and became famous among the public right from his debut.

The reason is because of his appearance.

Pure white skin, blond hair, and melancholy eyes.

He was truly a handsome man who swept his time.

If he had just been good-looking, his popularity would have waned soon, but his acting skills were more than just his looks.

Thanks to this, he has steadily built up his filmography since his teenage years, and is currently making a name for himself as a top Hollywood star.

He is now a man in his 40s.

However, people who are good-looking when they are young will still be good-looking when they are older.

Wrinkles appeared, I gained some weight, and my handsome boy image disappeared, but instead, I was reborn as a middle-aged man. In the meantime, the acting increased even more.

As a fan, I thought I would like to meet him once, and it just so happened to be good.

I nodded.

“great. “I’ll go with you.”
