Euphoria

"Changes"

Sung Jin-Woo

It's been three weeks since I began working out excessively every day, and I definitely felt some improvement. Though I didn't find it too impressive right now. In fact, it was just what the System was telling me to do every day, and it was bearable and definitely worth it every time.

It was six in the morning when I woke up, finally being happy to be discharged from the hospital. I couldn't spend another day here. It was such a small room and had no Jin-Ah running around to bother me. I did miss that, even if it annoyed me half to death. And well, I hadn't seen Rin-Cha either. I'm glad she respected my wishes for now, and I had promised to let her know when I was being discharged. Man, it was going to be so great to see her beautiful face again. I wonder how much three weeks can do for her.

I picked up my phone and dialed her number, taking my shirt off to begin the regular workout routine I'd been following for the past few weeks. She answered with a groggy "hello," and I chuckled at her cuteness. Maybe she hasn't changed, but that's definitely for the best.

"Hey beautiful," I purred into the speaker, making her laugh loudly.

"Damn...When did Mr. Jin-Woo get so flirty? Also please tell me something good you idiot."

"I'm just messing around. Yeah, it is good news, since I'm getting detached today."

"I'm on my way. Give me thirty minutes, I'll be right there."

"Whoa, why the rush? You have time, take it," I slowly said, dragging my words to annoy her.

"Don't you dare get smug with me, mister. I will be there in thirty."

"Whatever you say, beautiful."

"Stop that or I'll slap you the next time I see you."

"I dare you to even try," I teased, making her scoff haughtily.

"Don't test me. I will punch the living shit out of you."

"Right," I smoothly grinned.

With a final scoff of disbelief, she hung up on me, a chuckle escaping my lips. I laughed at her response to my flirts, hoping I at least left somewhat of a different impression on her. I laid my phone down on the bed along with my shirt, and began the grueling workout once again.

It was only at the ten minute mark of my curl-ups that I noticed a few faces outside walking towards my door. I stopped immediately and stood up, but they turned away from my door and went to the room beside me. I sighed and moved on to my push ups, the sweat practically forming small puddles on the floor. Now that was really disgusting. And I didn't even drink that much water today. My mind stayed focused for the most part, but I guess I was too focused as I realized I had been doing push ups for five minutes. I took a deep breath and did my second set of curl ups.

The second I finally reached two hundred I stopped, my abs paining me more than anything I had ever felt. Instead of resting, I moved on to more push ups, trying to reach above my goal for better results.

It seemed I hadn't noticed someone at the door, and as it opened, I was in mid push up position.

"Ah, I'm coming in...Oh, I'm so sorry!"

"No, no it's my fault! Give me a sec," I stood up and grabbed my blue shirt, throwing it over my head and walking up to the nurse. She was quite cute, but not really my type. She stared at me for a bit, an obvious amount of blush across her cheeks. I looked at her quizzically, and she nervously played with her fingers.

"Um, are you getting discharged today?" She asked, a stutter in her voice.

"Yes, I am," I answered, shoving my hands into my pants pockets.
