Ep. 151
The next day.
The yoga mat I ordered before going to bed yesterday arrived. It’s amazing how quickly things are delivered these days. I couldn’t have imagined such fast service when I was younger.
It arrived early in the morning, so I washed it right away, dried it in the sun on the veranda, and then spread it out in the center of the living room. It was Sunday, so my family was all home, watching me.
“Can we do that too?”
“Dad can do it too! It seems like a good stretch, so it’s not too difficult.”
“Oh my, maybe I should try it when I’m bored.”
My mother-in-law and father-in-law seemed a bit stiff lately, so they showed great interest in yoga. Next to them, Hee-sung was playing with Sarang and said with a skeptical look.
“Hey, I thought you were going to the gym, but you’re learning yoga.”
“I’ll do that on weekdays. But on weekends or at home, I’m going to do this with Heena.”
“Is it worth it?”
“Uh… well, it’s fun. It’s also a workout.”
“It’s so much fun!”
Thanks to the couple’s yoga I learned yesterday, I had a slightly… let’s say *impure* feeling about yoga, so I answered reluctantly, while Heena answered in a bright voice.
In fact, no matter what the intermediate process was, the result was that we were exercising, so it could be said that it met our initial goal. Even if we added some sexy stuff.
Heena and I started doing the stretches and yoga we learned yesterday on the yoga mat, one by one, following the routine the trainer made for us. Of course, I wasn’t planning on doing some of the couple’s yoga we learned last time.
How could I show *that* in front of my family? I’ll have to make Heena wear leggings later and do it when we’re alone.
For a while, we were doing healthy couple’s yoga, holding hands or shoulders, but it seemed like Sarang thought it was a game. Before I knew it, she abandoned Hee-sung and came to my side, nudging my arm.
“Daddy, Sarang wants to do it too!”
“Sarang wants to do yoga too?”
“Want to do yoga!”
Saying that, Sarang spread her legs to the sides and flopped down on the floor, just like we did.
We had no choice but to stop yoga right away because of that sight. The moment I saw it, I burst out laughing. The other family members were laughing at Sarang’s cute behavior.
No, but why is she so flexible? Is it because she’s young?
“Wow, Han Sarang is doing so well! She’s doing better than Daddy!”
“Our princess is so good at yoga!”
“But Sarang, didn’t you bump your head?”
My father-in-law was a little worried at the end, but the mat was so soft that it would be okay. Heena and I burst out laughing once and picked up Sarang and brought her to the center.
“Shall we do it together, Daddy?”
“Yes! Want to do yoga with Daddy!”
“Aren’t you going to do it with Mommy?”
“Want to do it with Mommy too!”
From then on, well, it was just playtime with Sarang, not just yoga.
Sarang is usually quite quick-witted for a young child, so she distinguishes well between when we’re working and when we aren’t. When I’m working on the computer, she usually doesn’t bother me and plays by herself.
But seeing her jump in like this, it seemed like Sarang thought that Heena and my couple’s yoga was just playing.
Everyone in the family was busy praising Sarang, who was holding our hands and spinning around, or sitting down and bending over to grab her toes with her hands.
“Is Sarang doing well?”
“You did well, you did well.”
“Then give me a prize!”
“Shall I give you a kiss?”
“Yes! Want to kiss Daddy!”
I stroked Sarang’s head and kissed her, who wanted praise and a prize for her flexibility.
It ended up like this in less than 15 minutes, but in fact, I could exercise on weekdays. Heena’s purpose was to stretch as usual rather than exercise, so there was no problem.
I should enjoy this kind of healing on the weekends.
—
And a week later, it was Saturday again.
We took Sarang to the gym. This was my fifth visit. On weekdays, I received a slightly more intense PT [Personal Training] from the male trainer than on weekends.
Of course, it was intense from my point of view, but it was easy compared to others. It was exercise for health purposes.
Today, I visited around the same time as last week and went straight to the innermost room.
“It’s been a week, Heena-nim! Are you having fun with yoga?”
“Yes! But is there any stretching I can do while sitting down? I think it would be good to do at work too.”
“Of course! I’ll teach you that today too. And… hello?”
“Hello! I’m Sarang! Four years old!”
“Four years old? Hehe, did Sarang come to exercise too?”
“Yes! Came to exercise with Mommy and Daddy!”
“I see! Do you like cats? Your clothes are cat clothes.”
“Like meow! Today Sarang is a meow… not a meow but a meow!”
The trainer was talking to Sarang, bending down to match her eye level. He probably couldn’t take his eyes off Sarang’s outfit right now. She had received a lot of attention coming here.
Right now, Sarang was wearing striped short sleeves and pants that reminded me of a tabby cat. There was even a hat with cat ears sticking out.
It was as if she was cosplaying as a cat.
It was a gift from Seon-hoo the day before yesterday as a joke, but Sarang liked it so much that she screamed the moment she saw it, so she ended up wearing it.
In fact, she had been wearing it all day at home yesterday, and she was making a fuss from this morning that she wanted to wear it again today. Thanks to that, she was monopolizing the trainer’s attention even after coming here.
The trainer carefully stroked Sarang a few times after getting permission from us, and then sighed and got up.
“I… I really didn’t even think about having children, but suddenly I want to get married.”
“If you meet a good person, you must do it. It’s really good.”
“I should. Then shall we start? First, let’s stretch… What about machine exercise? Would you like to learn it, or should we continue with yoga?”
“Is it okay to continue with yoga? There will be days when it’s hard to come even one day on the weekend, so I don’t think I can do other things consistently.”
“Yes, I understand. Then I’ll just check your yoga posture during weekend PT, including what you asked earlier.”
“Yes!”
In fact, I was worried about whether to come today because Heena looked so tired. In that situation, I didn’t know what the weekend schedule would be like, so I didn’t think I needed to learn health exercises.
After the story was over, I stroked Sarang before the two of them stood side by side and started stretching.
“Sarang, can you sit here quietly and wait?”
“Yes. Sarang is a meow. Meows always sleep!”
“Then watch Mommy and Daddy exercise.”
“Will watch!”
No matter how well Sarang listens, she’s a young child, so I don’t know when she’ll get bored and whine. I have to finish one set quickly and play with her a little.
I watched Sarang sit on the yoga mat and started stretching right away. Recently, I’ve been getting up early in the morning and stretching steadily. It’s so refreshing to do this and take a shower.
Thanks to that, I was quite familiar with the movements, so when I continued to do what I had learned last time without hesitation, the trainer applauded.
-Clap clap clap!
“It looks like you’ve been working hard in the meantime? You both did so well!”
I did it almost every day. Still, I was worried that my posture would become strange because we were doing it ourselves, but it seemed okay from the reaction.
So, I was about to take a yoga pose right away, when Sarang got up from her seat and started following us.
Still, it didn’t seem like she was trying to disturb us, she was moving her body hard, stretching her arms out by herself.
Thanks to that, the corners of all three of our mouths were twitching, but we continued the yoga class without stopping.
“This time, we’ll upgrade what you did last time and do it one by one. Like last time, hold each other’s shoulders─”
The trainer’s efforts to not pay attention to Sarang as much as possible were so pitiful.
To be honest, we thought she was too much of a scene stealer. When I glanced to the side, she was stretching her arms out into the air to try to follow along, but in the end, she was too tired and drooped down.
“And… that… arm…”
“……”
“…I’m sorry, but can we take a break for a moment?”
She couldn’t stand it any longer and finally asked to stop. Sarang was definitely being quiet, but her presence was so great.
Even when we suddenly stopped moving, she was so cute, hiding her face while lying down as if she didn’t know anything.
The trainer, who was watching it, covered her face with both hands and said.
“That… I’m sorry to say this, but I don’t think you should let your daughter out of the room… Other people won’t be able to concentrate on their workout…”
“Haha…”
“Pfft, look at Sarang lying down.”
“Your daughter is so cute, really.”
I didn’t think it would be that bad, but when I came to this room earlier, the people who were exercising were glancing at me.
A little girl wearing cat clothes was walking around the gym, so it was inevitable that they would be distracted. Or maybe they saw Heena instead of Sarang. She has such a striking beauty.
Anyway, we ended up stopping exercising for a while and having a conversation with Sarang. Sarang also seemed to want to play with us, so she quickly came between my knees and smiled brightly.
“I was going to teach you couple’s yoga at the end today… but it seems like it will be difficult.”
“……”
I didn’t bother asking why she couldn’t teach me. What I learned last week was sexy enough, and it was a bit much to do it in front of Sarang. The trainer must have known that too.
Of course, Heena, who showed 200% satisfaction with last week’s class, didn’t give up.
“Can you tell me the method later via text? I’ll practice it separately at home!”
Was it because she liked the situation of subtly moving on to sexy things while doing yoga together? I could even feel her spirit in her appearance as she clenched her fists tightly and said that.
The trainer laughed once at Heena’s appearance and immediately began to explain.
I listened to it for a while and played with Sarang, who started pulling on my clothes.
“Daddy. Sarang wants to see meow.”
“Meow is here.”
“Sarang is a meow, but not a meow.”
“Then what is it?”
“That’s right… Is Sarang a meow?”
“Is a meow? There are meow ears here too.”
“But meows need to have friends, so there needs to be another meow.”
While having a slightly out-of-context conversation, I looked at Heena, who was listening attentively to the trainer’s words. My wife, who seemed much more interested in the sexy things that would happen after yoga than yoga itself.
But anyway, I won’t be able to do anything rated 19+ today, so should I stop by a cat cafe after it’s over? It seems like Sarang wants to see cats again.
It was a peaceful weekend.
If I spend my time leisurely doing yoga with Heena like this, doing sexy things sometimes, and playing with Sarang.
Ha.
I’m enlisting soon, damn it.
How am I going to endure 5 weeks?
It’s me, but
Can Heena and Sarang endure it?
