situation went as expected. But it was more comfortable than I thought.

A former national team member said it was a place he often went to, so I thought I would do something like riding the rock of hell.

“Are you okay here?”

“yes.”

I moved my feet and looked around.

This was a hiking trail on the outskirts of Gyeonggi-do that we arrived at in less than an hour by car.

It didn’t feel particularly well maintained, but the slope was not steep and it was worth walking.

‘… Are you watching?’

I remember what this guy said the last time I was hiking on an uninhabited island.

-you… I’m already in a state of stamina due to the aftereffects. In the past, hiking like this would not have been so breathless.

It’s a speculation with errors in many parts, but I decided to accept this situation without protesting.

‘It’s work-life balance rather than pride.’

But there is a curious point.

“But there really aren’t many people.”

The point is that there is no one in sight except for a few seniors.

Even on weekdays, you can see quite a few people climbing at this level.

“Ah, this side was under construction. see?”

Liu Chengyu pointed with his hand to the small river on the left.

Nets and construction materials are scattered along the road.

“So most of them seem to be going in the opposite direction. They say the roads are better paved there.”

“ah.”

“Well, in the first place, since it was a mountain in the neighborhood, there weren’t that many people coming. There are no mineral springs or rocks.”

“You know that.”

“This is where I lived when I was young.”

Liu Qingyu smiled shyly.

“The archery field I used to go to is nearby, so I’ve been coming here ever since I moved.”

“… … .”

A guy who couldn’t even shoot properly due to aftereffects had to come near his regular archery range… done.

‘He’s not even in a position to be sympathized with.’

I just nodded moderately.

“I think the facilities were good.”

“It’s more of a memory than that.”

Liu Qingyu was silent for a moment, then spoke again a beat later.

“I think it will be okay to come with the kids next time. The boss is kind.”

If you cut this out and reject it, you will be the one who threw your sociality into the fire.

“So what.”

“good.”

Liu Qingyu smiled.

“After the tour was over, we didn’t have to go out and play, but it went well. Even when you guys left a few days ago, I had a schedule.”

ah. That’s it.

I remembered that some of the members went out on time for Sun Ah-hyun’s birthday.

At that time, Ryu Chung-woo and a few others had separate schedules so couldn’t go.

“I didn’t do anything. There are too many people.”

“Haha, I heard you even left a proof shot for something like that?”

I twitched my eyebrows as I recalled the Polaroid that Sejin Keun had left after escaping from the room.

-Testa Friendship Forever? 5/7

Happy Birthday Ahyeon!

That’s how I thought the article would be posted on the Internet… I’d be lying if I said I didn’t know, but the fans liked it anyway, so that’s okay.

“I left that behind and returned to the dorm right away. People are flocking to it.”

“I see. I’m sure this job is rewarding, but I think that’s the hard part. It makes going out difficult.”

“Yes.”

I jogged lightly along the road and shrugged.

“But even if I hadn’t done this, I think my brother would have been the same. What about the national archery team?”

“what? haha!”

Ryu Cheng-wu stopped laughing after quite some time.

“that’s right. That kind of thing doesn’t suit me very well. I guess I can’t help it.”

Ryu Cheng-wu’s tone sounded cool, not lamentation or grumbling. It’s also proof of success.

‘It’s a worry that only a winner can do.’

Ryu Cheng-wu and I continued to run on the hiking trails outside the area we found because of the side effects of the winner.

And it was only after a while that I realized something was wrong.

“Whoa.”

This is because the slope gets steeper as you go up. I took a few deep breaths and realized that my stamina bar, which had grown quite a bit, was more than half worn.

‘If it were me, I’d definitely be above the average adult male.’

Besides, looking around, it seems that there are not many people who go up here.

… Moreover, we are the only ones running up.

And then I realized

‘I was tricked.’

From a flat walk, the angle was cleverly steepened to keep climbing like a frog in boiling water… .

The flat hiking trail was a bait, not a consideration. I held back a groan.

Hey, Liu Cheng-wu is not an idiot. He saw me working out like that, so of course he would know that his stamina has increased.

‘You played well… .’

It seemed like it would take quite a while even if I didn’t see it to the top.

However, even if I complained, it would only hurt my social status and it seemed that I would not be able to descend, so I decided to just shut up and move my feet.

It’s not like I can’t.

‘Let’s exercise once.’

I silently looked up and moved.

how long has it been like that

I felt a hand tap on my shoulder.

“Moondae, over there.”

“Whoa what… … .”

It’s still a long way to get there.

I raised my head and followed the guy’s hand.

“… … .”

The midday city spread out in front of me.

Winding mountains, mountain fortresses, rivers that descend below them, and dense building complexes.

It was a colorful spring city.

swish

The wind blew. The mountain air whips your nose.

It was nice to see.

“Are you fine?”

Liu Qingyu said calmly.

“There is nothing more to go up. It looked the best so far. … I quit archery and went up every day while preparing for this job, and then I knew.”

“… … .”

I stood on the railing looking at the scenery.

‘I didn’t mean to go to the top.’

this is true

“how is it? A little bit of motivation… not good? Rather than just exercising, I did.”

“yes. It’s possible.”

I was certain Secured routes Anticipated hardships Certain rewards.

It’s not my taste, but hiking might be a good hobby.

“Well, I’m glad.”

I leaned against the railing with him and slowly looked down the mountain.

And after enough time had passed, Ryu Cheng-wu opened his mouth.

“Shall we go down?”

“I see.”

I felt very refreshed.

I tried to stretch, but eventually came up with the words that came to my mind when I saw the hiking trail.

“brother.”

“huh?”

“Everything is good, but I had to do anaerobic muscle training.”

“ah.”

As soon as I saw the hiking trail, I just didn’t say anything because I thought I wouldn’t believe it if I refused.

Ryu Cheng-wu replied with a shy face.

“Because it’s uphill… You must have used your strength.”

“… … .”

Rationalization once professional. i get it.

I did not have any particular complaints when I descended. And I agreed with Ryu Cheng-wu’s words, ‘Let’s come for a run sometimes’.

‘The intensity of the exercise is appropriate, and it would be nice to try it while being roommates.’

* * *

After 2 weeks of changing rooms like that. Not only us, but the new owners of the rooms have all adjusted to their own circumstances.

“Would you like some?”

“Oh yes.”

For example, Bae Se-jin surprisingly less often confined himself to the living room. Now, he only avoids Cha Yu-jin during the day.

“A bit noisy at night, but as long as you have ear plugs, no problem!”

Bae Se-jin once said that he became a flower. Unexpectedly, Cha Yoo-jin respects her roommate’s individualistic tendencies.

‘Is it because he’s an American?’

Of course, that also has its limits.

“Occasionally, if we just play games or watch videos together, it’s quiet when we sleep… .”

I calmly told the truth.

“That won’t last long.”

“what?”

“If talking doesn’t work, I’ll shake your shoulder soon.”

“… … .”

“Congratulations on becoming nocturnal.”

Bae Se-jin looked at his room with a blank face.

And the one who is alone in solitary confinement… I live a good life going from room to room.

“Hey, you’ve become best friends with Chungwoo hyung from Mundae~ Are you going to exercise tomorrow as well?”

Is this room today? I answered loudly to Se-jin, who was playing on his smartphone on Ryu Cheng-wu’s bed.

“what… Since we’re roommates, we’re both together. If you want to go, go too.”

“Ah~ I’m not that ignorant! Have a good workout~”

“… … .”

Sejin didn’t bother to add another word, but he couldn’t figure out what it meant.

‘I’m asking you to take this opportunity to completely change the atmosphere.’

It’s because there are people who still ruminate on how my attitude toward Ryu Chung-woo was X-like when he was filming his summer package.

Even with the roommate assignment this time, it seems like I’m just scratching my head, but there’s no need to leave such a spark in the fandom that has barely come together.

‘It should look comfortable just by looking at it.’

They are the ones who even motivate me in the yard where I thought I should get along anyway.

I waved to Sejin and went to wash up.

And hiking the next day.

“Do you want to climb to the top today? Just for testing.”

Liu Cheng-wu made a new proposal. He didn’t say anything while climbing, so he must have thought about that.

‘Well, it’s okay to go up at least once.’

The period of leisurely outdoor exercise was slowly coming to an end.

Now is the time to really focus on preparing for a comeback.

I nodded immediately after calculating my remaining stamina.

“I see.”

“good.”

And we are at 4pm. At an odd time, I started walking towards the top.

The slope was steeper, so I didn’t have to run, so it was worth it.

When it went up about forty more minutes like that.

looked normal.

“after.”

There was no one above it. Me and Ryu Cheng-wu picked up a little more speed and moved at one tempo to the summit.

“It’s been a while.”

Liu Qingyu stood holding onto the wooden fence next to the sign, and I stood next to it and looked down.

And I confirmed that what Ryu Cheng-wu said on the first day of the mountain climbing was right.

“It certainly looks better there.”

The view from the top was not as nice as the one seen from the middle of the hill. Of course, as high as it is, there is an overwhelming feeling…

“Yeah.”

Liu Qingyu looked at the scenery and nodded. Then he took a bottle of water from his backpack and drank it.

I also took out my own and drank, and there was a peaceful silence for a while.

Well, it’s definitely more comfortable than before.

“… … .”

“It’s Moondae.”

“yes.”

“Is it okay if I ask you something?”

“Yes what. Do it.”

I answered without much hesitation.

Liu Cheng-wu opened his mouth slowly, keeping his gaze fixed on the scenery.

“actually… I asked a few more times among the people you talked about while watching the family video during Chuseok last year.”

“… !”

“That ‘Ryu Gun-woo’.”

I almost got caught drinking water.

I quickly lowered the bucket and set up a hypothesis.

‘Did he know the location?’

“Maybe the whereabouts… ?”

“Um no. sorry but that wasn’t the case just… I just got to hear a little bit about his past.”

“… … .”

“Everyone in my family except myself got into an accident on a trip to my parents’ house, and it must have been a car accident and a fire.”

After taking a break, Ryu Cheng-wu continued speaking calmly enough to be artificial.

“And that electron… It’s like that car accident that left me with aftereffects.”

X feet.

I drank another glass of water on a topic I didn’t like very much.

‘If the family members don’t know where they are, they’ll just say they don’t know and end it.’

Why are you doing this… I will turn

However, Liu Qingyu’s words were not over.

“And you know what Moondae is?”

what.

“… It’s not your parents’ car accident. You crashed the plane.”

“… … .”

what?

“Actually, the article tried to go out last year, but the company blocked it. It might come as a shock to you, so I only discussed it with me briefly, and it was just after you were discharged.”

I looked up.

“But you… Trauma from traffic accidents and fire situations. Not an airplane.”

Liu Cheng-wu took his eyes off the scenery before he knew it and was looking at me.

“That’s the story of Ryu Gun-woo you’ve been looking for.”

“… … .”

“Mundae. Who are you looking for?”
