Kimi-chan

After finishing my 30 second break and my water bottle, I start swimming freestyle, the best exercise for slimming down and exercising all the muscles of the body.

You start off with your arms stretched out, overlapping one another with your biceps behind your head. Jump into the water with a curved motion, making sure to go in fingers first, then head, then body.

You continue my moving using simple moves comprised of kicking your legs in a straight and stiff position underwater, pulling yourself forward using your hands in a cycle of left, right, left, right and breathing every time your dominant hand goes above the water.

Before this lap, I've done 12 more laps a few minutes before, each with 30 second rest times and since the sun is getting lower and mom wants me back by 4:00 p.m on saturdays, Seung-ri decided that this would be the last lap of the day.

Frankly, not just Seung-ri and his gym bros but even I am surprised at my endurance and perseverance to swimming. I knew I loved swimming but I didn't know my body could go this hard.

[this is thanks to me, idiot weakling]

'Well, according to the gym bros, I'd like to think otherwise'

[heh, that's bec-]

'LALALALALA! I can't hear you!!'

Ignoring the haters, I touch the wall do my final lap back, trying to go as fast as I can. Obviously, I'm huffing and puffing to the point of taking a breath every pull instead of every other pull.

Reaching the end, I touch the wall then start panting my hardest. My abs, my upper stomach, ribs, legs and arms are all either aching or hurting. Very good for the long term but it really hurts to just walk on land.

After looking around and seeing the table Seung-ri reserved near the pool, I run towards them smiling. In the gym, there is a healthy food court nearby and on the table, there is fried rice and kimchi waiting for me; a very fun combination despite fried rice not being a naturally Korean.

(A.N) lol no joke, just writing fried rice and kimchi together got my mouth watering. I didn't even describe it...

"HHAAAA!! ggaahhhh! Haaah....haaa.... hooo...how was it, Ahjussi?!"

"Gwahahaha! You're a natural, kid! Just great!"

"Woahhh....Min-chul oppa is...cool"

'Locked? That means that...no, what does locked mean? Is that my limit?'

[uhuh uhuh! Finally! Another smart thing out of your mouth! Yes, when it says locked, that means that your current body physically cannot handling having more of the locked stat]

'And if I didn't have a lock?'

[oh! Your muscles would implode from the stress and eventually, your heart, a muscle, would get a cramp and stop beating, killing you from a heart attack if the imploded muscles didn't work!]

'...uhuh...'

After hearing the tragic fate of those without locks, I return to eating the fried rice. Absolutely amazing.

These practice days have been going on for a few weeks already and I can feel the difference in my body. I feel lighter, my movements feel sharper, my body is slimmer and more toned while still keeping a proportional figure.

Obviously, this is the the perspective of a 5 year old kid. If I were to fight a gym bro, I'd be pummeled into the ground so hard I'd reach the moon before the time I could say "fight me".

"Oh! I asked your mothers about whether I could take you kids somewhere and she said yes!"

"Where?" "Where, papa?"

"We are going toooooo.....Red's Wonderland!"

'Ahhh, no....Red's Wonderland? That crazy theme park where in just 6 months after creation, a masked shooter would barge in, demanding photos of naked cartoon characters from the show "Red and Friends"? Oh God no'

"Really?!? Yaaaayyyyy!! Thank you, daddy!" " yaaayy...thank you, Ahjussi Seung-ri...woohooo"

"Alright! Let's get going!"

Since we already dried ourselves, we were fine to ride on Seung-ri's car. After about 30 minutes of light traffic, the occasional yelling at a stupid driver and some scary figures doing shady things in the road, we got to Red's Wonderland.

Right now, I already forgot when this place was made since I haven't been here in my entire life, including my previous one.

I remember hearing from a news show that dad accidentally left on that a masked man only known as "Kimi-chan" barged into the drawing/creation building where the actual illustrators draw the slides and animate the Red and Friends cartoon and Red and Friends comic book in the theme park.

After holding an intern as hostage, he then demanded that the illustrators draw a naked version of "Bomi"...if you aren't too familiar with Korean, that is a common dog's name meaning "beautiful; pretty"...and yes, Red is a dog. And yes yes, Bomi is another dog...he wanted an illustration of a NAKED DOG!!!

NAKED! DOG! They are already naked, you degenerate!!! How in the hell would they draw a dog more naked?!? Go to those western sites!!!

Kimi-chan must have been down bad, huh? JUST HIRE SOMEONE FROM THE RED LIGHT DISTRICT TO POLISH YOUR SWORD!!!

Anyways, after the illustrators finished their drawing, he ran off into the distance and was promptly found "washing his genitals at an intense speed while viewing the illustration" right behind a building.

"Hi, welcome to Red's Wonderland! Where all your silly and wacky dreams come true! I'm Jae-hwa and how many tickets would you like?"

"I'd like 3 please; 1 adult and 2 children"

After getting out her little booklet and skimming over it, she gives a bright smile and lets us in with 1 adult ticket and 2 kids tickets that were luckily on discount. Honestly, I don't understand how people like Kimi-chan can find these types of places attractive.

"Wan wan! Nyaaaa~~ I'm your tour guide, Hee-young and I'll guid-woof woof! I'll guide you to see the wonderful places around Red's Wonderland! Follow me! Wan wan!"

Looking over to the side, I see a tour guide wearing dog ears and barking like a dog while wearing a cute crop top jacket, a white shirt and some tight jeans.

'.....'

[.....]

'Am I weird if I-'

[nope. Don't worry about it]

After being reassured by Feelie that I'm not a weirdo and that Kimi-chan was somewhat justified, I hold So-young's hand closer as I fear that Kimi-chan may burst in at any moment.

"M-M-Min-chul? Wh-ehhh?"

"Huh? Oh, just be closer to me; it's safer"

"A-ah...okay then... ehehe"

Chuckling a little, Seung-ri takes us towards the teacups ride where instead of teacups, it's Red and his friends. We got into Red and spun around until So-young was about to cry. She stopped after being hugged by her dad.

"P-p-papa...v-v-vom-ughh"

"Ahhh... okay okay. Min-chul, please wait right outside here, okay? I'll be back in a few moments"

After calling a guard to look after me, he brought So-young into the ladies room. I then hear some screaming followed by an understanding "ooohhh~~". Hearing the vomiting and crying noises from even outside, I head over to a nearby bench and rest my neck on the back rest. Swinging my legs, enjoying life; what could go wrong?

Seeing that Seung-ri was about to emerge, the guard left me be and went back to his post right on the other side of the bathroom.

"Ahhhhh~~~ huh? MMMMPPHHHH!! MMHHH!!"

Suddenly being pulled from being with a cloth stuck into my mouth, a big guy carries me over his shoulder and then start walking towards the creative building. Looking him closer, he has a ski mask, trench coat, what looks like a pistol...dear God.

...this is Kimi-chan!!!

'Why the hell is Kimi-...wait!!! I remember the full story now!'

After thinking about it harder, I remember one thing that I forgot about the news story; it was that this occurred around when I was 4-5 years old, making this very probable. It seems like I replaced the original kid, huh?

'Ahhh, I wanna grow up quickly'
