Chapter 16.2

Hyeon-Woo Lee turned his head toward the direction of the sound.

His eyes landed upon a woman wearing leggings who was passing by and staring at Lee Hyun-woo's form with a contemptuous gaze.

And even though their eyes met, the woman rather confidently held his gaze as if expressing the thought- 'What are you going to do about it?'.

"Wow..."

'That was absurd. Stupidity really knows no bounds.'

Before he could do anything, the woman had already disappeared into the distance.

It had been a rather ambiguous situation to have done anything.

She was like Darling... No, she was even more of a bitch.

A bitch who was uglier than Bread and had a worse body than the Foxy Woman.

After seeing her look at him with that kind of gaze, the annoyance within him rose slightly.

"Tsk... If I get angry, it only troubles me in the end."

A bitch who came to the gym at the same time as everyone else had to go to work and didn't even exercise while instead opting to take selfies here and there couldn't be a proper woman.

'Just forget about it and continue exercising.'

Lee Hyun-woo let out a little bit of his anger into the exercises he had lined up.

"Member, you have worked very hard today! If you keep pushing yourself like this, you will be able to achieve your goal in no time. Fighting [T/N: To cheer on someone in Korea]!"

After the workout, his trainer encouraged him with a voice full of enthusiasm.

But Hyeon-Woo Lee couldn't help but look upon his trainer like he was a traitor of eternity.

Every time he heard his 'one more time' phrase, he would grow to hate his trainer even more.

And so, he dragged his still trembling legs down the stairs.

"Ha..."

'It was so damn hard.'

He let out a sigh because of his trembling muscles.

'I'm sure the muscle pain will come full force tomorrow morning too.'

Lee Hyun-woo, who had been coming down the stairs whilst basically attached to the railing, sighed again and raised his head.

It was just a natural movement to alleviate the pain in his body a little.

"Ugh, pervert."

However, the situation had not been in his favour.

On the top of the stairs, the woman who passed by who had also looked at Lee Hyun-woo with contempt earlier in the day- was coming down.

She was coincidentally wearing a short skirt, and when Lee Hyun-woo, who was underneath her, looked up, he would have been able to peek inside her skirt.

The woman looked at Lee Hyun-woo with the gaze of having found a criminal and cursed at him.

"Fuck..."

'I have no luck. I'm not even interested in this woman's body, so it's unfair that I've been caught in this situation.'

Even though Hyeon-Woo Lee felt a deep injustice at the episode, he had to lower his gaze anyway.

The situation was turned into a frenzy.

*Thump Thump*

Her face and body were livid.

The woman deliberately came down the stairs making her footsteps as loud as can be on the stairs.

Then, she glared at Lee Hyun-woo's face once again and went further down.

'Fuck. Should I call someone out and go the long distance in bed again? I'd feel pretty damn good about the release at least.'

And the moment he reached the first floor, he suddenly heard a voice calling for him.

"Oppa!"

Hana Kim got out of her red foreign car.

Her looks were above average, and her body belonged to a top-tier streamer.

Kim Ha-na, unlike the girl who looked heavily decorated and only took pictures in leggings at the gym, had a beauty that would have overwhelmed such a person every day of the week.

A beautiful woman had gotten out of a foreign car and approached the man she had just looked down upon, while even waving her hand at him.

The woman who had come down first with her thumping steps had an expression of surprise plastered all over her face.

Lee Hyun-woo's smile deepened.

"Babe. Come here and give me a hand. I will die from exhaustion."

'Babe?'

Hana Kim tilted her head for a moment at the title Hyeon-Woo Lee had just given her.

However, she was quite an astute person.

A woman next to them had been looking between her and Lee Hyeon-woo alternately with a surprised expression on her face.

And Lee Hyun-woo had randomly chosen to show off in front of her.

She immediately realized what was going on.

'Then, I'll do as you wish~!'

"Oppa. Was it very difficult? So why make your workouts so hard? Oppa is very, very, very, very cute even when his stomach is sticking out."

Hana Kim quickly ran and clung to Hyunwoo Lee.

And then she embraced him into a bear hug.

To everyone else, she'd look as much of a lover of his as could be.

"Do I exercise to please you? I exercise because I find it troublesome being fat."

Lee Hyeon-woo placed Hana Kim, who was still fawning over him, onto his side, and snuck a sidelong glance at the woman from earlier.

The expression of contempt for Lee Hyun-woo was nowhere to be seen.

She bit her lips painfully as if she wanted to deny the sight before her.

Then their eyes met.

The woman instantly became embarrassed and turned her head away as if there'd been nothing between them in the first place before making a quick getaway.

Her steps were laden with embarrassment and humiliation, erupting a hearty laugh out of Hyeon-Woo Lee.

"Oppa, what happened between you and that woman?"

"It's no big deal. I was watching Korea TV while running, and she looked at me like I was pathetic."

"I see... Did you find anyone new?"

Kim Ha-na, deigning indifference, offhandedly asked him about which streamer was watching.

'Is that jealousy? Or is it vigilance?'

Lee Hyun-woo praised Hana Kim for quickly matching his mood on the topic.

"I don't know. I don't even remember. I just watched it because I was a little bored. I didn't even shoot any coins. You have better looks and a curvier body than them anyway."

"Ahahaha, really? Oppa, are you feeling like going at it again? But what can you do when your limbs are shaking like this? Didn't you exercise a bit too hard today?"

Hana Kim was overjoyed at Lee Hyeon-woo's nonchalant words and fawned over him a little more.

Lee Hyeon-woo then took Hana Kim and they ate a meal together.

And then they arrived at the department store.

"I'm going to be buying a tracksuit, but would you like a present too?"

Lee Hyeon-woo knew her insinuations for bringing him here and asked about her intention.

'Even if she asks me for presents, I will happily agree. Yes, this is what you called 'flexing'.'

Lee Hyeon-woo felt good about the idea of buying stuff for his fuckbuddies.

And depending on his mood, he would even be willing to give a big reward to Hana Kim.

'Isn't this the spending of the rich?'

"What? Really? Ahaha, I'm impressed."

"What will you buy? Is 1 million enough? Or will you buy an accessory? Choose anything within the limit of 5 million won."

While real rich people didn't set limits on their spending, Lee Hyun-woo had to ignore such sentiments this time.

He hadn't yet received his first payment, so there wasn't that much money in his bank account at the current time.

"Really? I can use up to 5 million as I like, right? Then.... I'll do it with a bag! There was actually something that I was looking at the other day!"

And Kim Ha-na, whom Lee Hyun-woo thought was the female equivalent of a bad boy, didn't pay much attention to Lee Hyun-woo's petty behaviour.

On the contrary, she walked around the department store while crossing her arms with Lee Hyun-woo, delighted at the free budget for luxury goods worth up to 5 million won.
