4 a.m.

I woke up at a regular time every day, packed my lunch in the kitchen, and changed into my workout clothes to go jogging and left the house.

Basically, my jogging course is about 10km round trip.

There was romance in exercising while breathing the morning air by myself before the sun came up.

But as of today, there was only one person who was with me on this jogging course.

It was a former biker with anachronistic regent hair who called me my brother.

“Brother! Good morning!”

“okay.”

For the next three days, I decided to act with Kazuya Goto and this guy.

To be honest, I would be tired if I made something like a disciple, so I wanted to get rid of it naturally somehow.

The three-day course of hell was proposed for that purpose.

Because there’s no way a normal person who usually doesn’t exercise can follow my workout routine.

Goto, who was running side by side with me, said.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been jogging like this! When I was in middle school, I ran around a lot while delivering newspapers!”

“Newspaper delivery? Why was that when you were in middle school? Were you short of pocket money?”

Then Goto said as he ran his finger under his nose.

“My father left the house when I was three years old, and after that, my mother raised me alone.”

As a heavy family story came out of Goto’s mouth that I had never expected, I automatically shut my mouth.

To be honest, I didn’t mean to say that.

Perhaps he sensed the awkward atmosphere, Goto smiled brightly and said it was okay.

‘No, I’m not very good… .’

Anyway, after going around the whole village along the riverbank, I headed to the Citizens Park, which I go to every day.

The exercise equipment frequently used by uncles and aunts was placed here, and they were perfect for people like me to exercise alone.

“How many iron rods do you have?”

“In the past, I did about 5. I haven’t done it lately, so I don’t know.”

“Okay. Take a good look.”

After I said that, I immediately hung on the iron rod.

The stiff shoulder and arm muscles.

But I casually pulled about 50 pull-ups.

When doing iron bars, the most important thing is the waist.

Since doing a pull-up using recoil itself is not very effective in terms of movement, such an upright posture was required.

After a light warm-up, I told Goto to give it a try this time.

Then, Goto swallowed his saliva and exclaimed with a nervous expression.

“Oh!”

No, it’s embarrassing, so don’t shout… .

“Yes! Brother!”

Anyway, I was glad to hear the words.

***

After finishing the morning exercise, I went back the way I had come and arrived home.

It was just 6 am at this time, but I have to leave the house at 7:10 if I can’t go to school, so I have about an hour left.

I showed the least amount of acknowledgment, gave Goto a hearty meal, and then sent him back.

Anyway, if I go home like this, I will wash and eat, but this was meant to not bother my single mother.

“Thank you! The rice that hyung made was delicious!”

“Okay. Then we’ll see you again around 6pm.”

“yes!”

After all, I and he also have to go to school in the morning, so it was unreasonable to move more than this.

So, I made an appointment at 6 o’clock, the time when I would have already left school, and decided to meet in front of the store again in the evening.

I watched him leave on his bike, then stretched out and climbed the stairs leading to the second floor.

Now I had to wash up and get ready to go to school.

***

When I went to school, the atmosphere of the class was quite lively.

That’s probably because it’s right after the midterm exams are over.

It was the day after the midterm exam, which was a big barrier in my sophomore year, and all the guys who had been in zealous mode for a while were just trying to play with their faces relaxed.

“Yeah. Kim Yoo-seong.”

I accepted Satoru’s greeting and sat down at my seat.

“Did you go in well yesterday?”

“Uh. Thanks to good friends, I was able to play around with pretty girls, and yesterday was fun.”

“Then I’m glad.”

As I said that and shrugged, Satoru brought up another topic.

“By the way, did you hear it? Recently, the bikers in Tokyo are unusual.”

“The bikers? Why all of a sudden?”

Without realizing it, I began to listen to Satoru’s story.

“The president of Baekgwiyahaeng, a team that works mainly in Setagaya, changed a while ago, and the 4th president who took office this time got along with other members of the organization and said that the team was on the verge of disintegration.”

When it comes to fighting among the bikers, it is inevitable that it will feel weaker than the struggle of the Yakuza.

In the beginning, I didn’t really want to understand because the world I live in was different, but it was a story that had nothing to do with me, an ordinary ordinary person.

When I asked if there was anything more interesting than that, Satoru flashed his glasses and said.

“Actually, this is limited information that few people know about, but I will tell you in particular.”

“…what the hell are you doing?”

“How much do you know about the top three beauties of our school?”

“The third most beautiful woman? What is that?”

“Such stupid people, you don’t know about the top three beauties of Ichijo Academy?”

“Don’t keep saying weird things, explain it so I can understand.”

“Written, I’d like to explain it from start to finish, but it’ll take too long, so there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Satoru pushed up his glasses with his index finger and opened his mouth.

“First of all, two of the three beauties of Ichijo Academy are in their third year. The student president, Saionji Kumiko, and the kendo club director, Fuma Yukika.”

Coincidentally, they both know each other.

The former is seen every week in the student council room, and the latter was a person who owed his life only recently.

They said they would call me soon, but there is still no news, but I don’t know when they will talk to me again.

For me, the only answer was to wait.

“And the last one, a first-year student, goes to school next week.”

“Who is the last one?”

Then Satoru raised his nose and said,

“Do not be surprised to hear.”

“I won’t be surprised, so please tell me first.”

“Recently, Minato Naoya, a talented person whose stock price is rising as the nation’s first love.”

“Are you coming out Minato?”

“Even if Yoosung is not interested in celebrities, you will know the child’s name. Even if you just turn on the TV, advertisements come out dozens of times a day.”

Just in case, I searched through the memories of Kim Yoo-sung before possessing it.

Certainly, as Satoru said, he is an incredibly famous talent.

He was also a child actor from a first-class theater company.

“I didn’t know such a person was attending our school.”

“That’s because I was so busy with celebrity work that I almost couldn’t go to school. Lately, it seems like they’re trying to expand their feet into idols as well.”

Saying that, Satoru proudly held out his chest.

“But why do you know such information so well?”

Then Satoru raised his nose and said.

“I’m a member of Nao Minato’s fan club number 100, edgy and excellent.”

It was the idol otaku itself that anyone could see who was very proud.

Somehow, I knew her so suspiciously well that there was such a story.

“At this point, why don’t you also try to be introduced to Nao-tan? If it’s now, I might be able to lead you well as a senior.”

“…I will politely decline.”

I’m busy working out every day, but I didn’t want to waste my time on a celebrity I never met in my life.

In the midst of a conversation about Satoru and Minato Nao, the main character, Ryuji Sakamoto, and his childhood friend Maiya Yaguchi, and Rika and Sasha all finished school.

The first class on Thursday morning was math.

As a former science and engineering graduate student, my favorite subject.

Last week, they gave me time to voluntarily say that the exams were short, so I thought I would go back to progress from today, but my expectations were wrong.

The math teacher looked around the class and said,

“Today, we are going to score the midterm exam questions together. Everyone, take out the exam papers.”

Then, the bullies, who had been trying hard to ignore the brutal reality, began to panic as a group, whether they were afraid of scoring points.

One of them was Rika.

I looked at the scene and shook my head.

Apparently, heavy rain is likely to pour on the test paper for many people today.

***

After school, I immediately got on the subway and went home.

It was to keep the promise I made with Kazuya Goto earlier this morning.

Normally, if nothing special happens, I go straight to the fitness club after school.

However, today, I decided to join in the middle and go together in consideration of the first trip to Goto.

If you are a manager who is still thirsty for fresh newbies, if you ask them to give you a free trial for only three days, they will laugh and say it’s okay.

Of course, I will try to teach you a lot of things from the side as much as that.

“Brother! Did you go to school?”

As promised, Goto, who was waiting in front of the store, greeted me by bowing politely as soon as he saw me walking from afar.

A young child passing by saw the scene and asked, holding her mother’s hand.

“Mom, why does that uncle call you younger brother brother?”

“Shh, be quiet. Let’s go.”

“……”

I’ll have to stop you from saying hello while you’re with me.
