HE RETURNED AS A HIGH SCHOOL GIRL (PART ll)

Chapter 290 - The Final Revenge (2)

Kang Ra-Eun frequented the fitness center to stay in shape even while she was busy with shoots. She was doing resistance training like always.

“Fuu...”

She exhaled lengthily through her small mouth. She was sweating despite it still being cold outside, and wiped off the sweat with the towel that she had brought with her. A few strands of hair that she had tied back were stuck on the area around her collarbone, which she stood in front of a mirror and removed.

‘This long hair of mine used to feel so uncomfortable.’

Ra-Eun had never grown her hair back when she used to be a man. She had liked her hair short back then, so she did not even let it grow to the point that it could cover his ears. However, after becoming a woman, her hair had grown far past her ears and even reached her waist. Every time she wanted to cut it, she couldn’t bring herself to out of respect for the circumstances of the original owner of her body.

‘Kang Ra-Eun’s mother liked her with long hair.’

If it had been her parents in her former life, she would have never even considered their wishes. However, Park Geon-Woo and Kang Ra-Eun were different. At first, Ra-Eun had thought that even if she had been reborn in a new body, her male self remained unchanged. However, that was starting to change. Park Geon-Woo was Park Geon-Woo, and...

‘Kang Ra-Eun is Kang Ra-Eun.’

She had no choice but to admit that the beautiful woman in sportswear in front of the mirror was a completely different person. There might come a time when she would need to erase the Park Geon-Woo in her mind once her revenge was complete. However, she hadn’t been able to find the resolve to make that decision yet.

‘It feels like I’m back in puberty.’

Ra-Eun suppressed her bitter laugh from her internal conflicts that an adolescent in puberty would have.

“Urgh... My shoulders feel like they’re gonna fall off.”

As Ra-Eun was about to raise her barbell again, she was distracted by the groaning man next to her. It was her older brother Kang Ra-Hyuk, who was struggling with 12 kg dumbbells. He had come with Ra-Eun to the fitness center after believing that he needed to work out as well.

“You don’t even exercise. Stop being stubborn and start lighter,” Ra-Eun suggested.

“How lighter?”

“5 kg ones should be good.”

“Come on, that’s too low. A man should at least lift double digits, no?”

Ra-Eun was also very aware of a man’s pride. There were times in the fitness center when men felt like they needed to lift more than the person next to them. However, like Ra-Eun had mentioned, that was nothing more than pointless obstinacy.

“Exercises are meant to be done at your own pace, you idiot.”

Just then, someone else joined in to help Ra-Eun persuade Ra-Hyuk.

“Ra-Eun is right, hyung-nim. I will take a look at your form, so how about we start a bit lighter?”

Je-Woon, who was pretty much Ra-Eun’s established training partner at this point, stepped in to help her out. The opportunity to be coached by a top star did not come often. Ra-Hyuk was sold on Je-Woon’s suggestion and did as he said.

Although Je-Woon was only a year younger than Ra-Hyuk, the fact that Je-Woon was treating Ra-Hyuk with such respect bothered him.

“You can speak comfortably, Je-Woon.”
