────── july 2022, physical hundred

SEOYEON WALKED IN with the other contents through the large door with Greek Statues entering the room, the floor had numbers in a grid going up to hundred. She muttered looking around, "This is going to be fun, it's kind of like Squid Games."

Everyone stood around nervous as they begun to guess what was going to happen, some even thought that the floor was going to fall in. A screen with a colorful eye appeared in front of them, "Hundred contests, welcome." 

"To study the most perfect physic, regardless of gender, age, and race we invited you all here. We have prepared five quest to find the most perfect physique. The one to stand to the last, the last physic standing will win three hundred million won." The eye stated.

"Oh." Seoyeon uttered suprised, as a smirk pulled to her lips, she was going to take it slighlty easy but for three hundred million won. Others around her hand simalir reactions as they started to clap.

"Then we shall begin the first quest."

They all clapped in cheered with excitement as the vocie began to explain. "The first quest, survial rate is fifty percent. But before we get to that there is a pre-quest mission you must go through first. The rule is very simple. Hang from a structure the longest."

Seoyeon realized as she looked up, chuckling, "Alright."

It was obvious that the lighter people are going to shine through this, and that the heaver people were going to have a harder time. "Hang with the power of both arms, the one who last the longest will receive a powerful privilege that will give them an advantage in their survival. You are standing on a number on your choice, and you will be divided into two groups. Now prepare yourselves."

When it came to grip strength as a weightlifter, Seoyeon was confident that she could last farley long but she wasn't cokey she knew that there were people that could preform better than her due to their prossion.

Seoyeon was apart of Group Two so she waited intell it was her turn. As soon as the bell rung and the structure came down, she was fouced on trying to make sure she hung on it the right way. She held onto the bar and pulled herself up and rested her armpit, locking herself on the bar as the floor opened with fog revealing a pool of water it was only the first minute into the quest when people started to drop like flies. People who lift triple her body weight couldnt support themselves and dropped.

She looked infront of her and saw Yun Sung-Bin struggling a bit. She let out a breathless laugh, "Come on, Iron Man don't drop now."

"Easy for you to say," Sung-Bin grunted then dryly chuckled, "Oh what."

Seoyeon watched as Sung-Bin dropped off the bar, she giggled and shock her head. As time passed Seoyeon felt the circulation in her arms die out so she unlocked her grip to the bar and dropped into the water, putting her ranked in eighth place.

She pushed through the water and made her way over to Sung-Bin. "I thought you would have lasted longer, saving energy?"

Sung-Bin ran his fingers through his wet hair, smiling, "Could say the same for you."

They watched the last two hung on, but in the end the mountain climber, Kim Min-Cheol. They clapped for him, as congratulations on his win. Seoyeon believed that he actually had a good chance winning the game despite him being a climber.

────── after filming

As they wrapped up filming for the day, Seoyeon was able to chat more with the other contestants and took a fond liking to Jang Eun-Sil and Euddeum Shim. To Seoyeon to two girls just had such warm and welcoming energy that she was attracted to. As she made her way to the parking lot, she noticed Yun Sung-Bin standing next to her black Jeep Wrangler.

She raised an eyebrow at him, "Yun Sung-Bin?"

"Ah just Sung-Bin is okay." He said as the corners of his mouth turned up, they stared at each other before Sung-bin realized how awkward he was being before clearing his throat. "I just wanted to say that it was really nice seeing you again, and I was wondering that whenever your free that maybe we could catch up."

Seoyeon froze before her stomach was filled with butterflies like she was a teenager, she breathed out beaming. "Of course...I'm actually free the day after tomorrow, since you know we have filming tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow works for me." Sung-Bin grinned as he stepped away from her car, "Have a good evening, Seoyeon."

She couldn't stop herself from grinning ear to ear as she opened her car door before she happily replied, "You too."

Once Seoyeon was in her car, she silently squealed. She met Sung-Bin four years ago and back then they went out with other friends, but they never really got anywhere. Back then she did like him, she thought he was handsome, and he thought she was pretty. They made mutual feelings towards each other that was unspoken.

But it never went anywhere, they were both Olympians at the peak of their careers, escpeally Seoyeon. Feeding into her feelings was something she couldn't do. Cause if she feed into her feelings, she wouldn't have been the gold medalist she is today.

But that's the thing, she isn't competing anymore. She stopped so she could have a life other than weightlifting, so she could have more time for stuff like this. As Seoyeon drove away from the set there was only one word to describe how she was feeling at that moment.

Ecstatic.
