May.

Sarang, armed with new cuteness every day, set everyone's hearts on fire, while Heena continued her daily routine of going to and from work without any issues.

During this time, I stayed at home, studied, or worked on simple web design gigs. From this month, I even started going to the gym.

Everyone probably has the desire to exercise in their hearts, but like many others, I only thought about it without actually doing it. However, I received a completely free membership to a gym that recently opened nearby, which prompted me to start.

I got the membership from an older man, a family member of a grandmother I helped out in the past, who contacted me and asked to meet. He had been sending gifts to our house every holiday and New Year, so I went out to meet him without much thought.

"Yeonho, we're opening a gym near your house. If you have time, please come by. We'll give you and your family lifetime free memberships and personal training."

"Even personal training?!"

"But it's not very close. It's about three bus stops away. Do you know the OO Shopping Mall near the girls' high school? It's in the building next to it."

"Oh, there? I know it. I live near there now."

"What? Did you move..."

"Not exactly. My in-laws live there, and we've been staying with them."

Coincidentally, he opened the gym much closer to Heena's house than mine, about a ten-minute walk away.

Although he knew from my profile on KakaoTalk that I had a child, he probably didn’t know exactly where I was living. He seemed even more pleased after hearing my words and insisted I use the gym.

"Exercising in advance is good. It's good for your health, and later, it will help you carry your child."

"Indeed, Sarang is getting heavy... By the way, congratulations on your new son."

"Thank you... really. Thanks to you, I'm doing well. So don't hesitate, and let me know if you need anything."

A smile formed around the corners of his slightly wrinkled eyes and lips, making me feel happy too. I was proud of my past actions.

"Thank you for this. I'll register with my wife and daughter around the first week of next month."

"Really?! Then I'll let them know. Just mention your name, and they'll take care of it."

"Thank you."

We chatted a bit more, and he even tried to buy me clothes at a nearby department store. I politely refused several times and then went home.

Heena had mentioned wanting to exercise lately, and going to the gym as a family was one of my dreams, so I happily accepted the offer. Besides, receiving something like this felt less burdensome than money or material gifts, as he often tried to give me various presents.

And so, in May, I went to the gym for the first time in my life.

"Mommy... I'm sleepy..."

"Do you want to take a nap, Sarang?"

"Yes... Read me a storybook..."

It was the weekend. On Saturday afternoon, we were planning to go to the gym with Heena and Sarang.

Sarang’s eyes were half-closed, probably because she woke up too early today. So, we decided to leave her with her grandmother and go to the gym alone.

We intended to take Sarang, knowing she'd want to come along, but exercising properly would be difficult with her there.

"Work out hard~ You won't be back too late, right? Sarang will look for you as soon as she wakes up."

"No, we'll be back in two or three hours at most."

"Mom, please take care of Sarang."

"Okay~ Have a good time~"

So, we headed to the gym together, carrying only our workout clothes.

Since it was less than a ten-minute walk, we arrived at the gym quickly. It was much bigger than I had imagined.

It made sense for a gym to take up an entire floor, but this floor was incredibly spacious. The place had just opened, so the facilities were very clean.

The exterior of the gym was impressive and sophisticated. We felt a bit awkward as we walked in, but everything was already arranged for us. Membership registration and assigning a personal trainer were completed smoothly.

We just had to give our names, then stood there waiting. Each of us was assigned a locker, and we changed into our workout clothes—matching training suits we had bought together.

Honestly, I wanted to see Heena in leggings, but I decided that was something for only me to enjoy at home. I didn’t want anyone else to see her like that.

After changing, we were guided to an office-like room where we got our body composition measured and then received a consultation from a very fit female trainer.

Heena seemed a bit wary and clung to me more than usual.

"Do you two have specific fitness goals or criteria in mind?"

"I can only come on weekends, so I’d like to learn something I can combine with home training."

"For me, I just want something manageable and not too intense for about three months."

"Is there a reason for the three-month period? Are you trying to get in shape before a beach trip?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"I’m enlisting in three months..."

"Ah..."

There was a brief, awkward silence at the harsh reality, but the trainer quickly resumed with a smile.

"Yeonho, will you be coming during the weekdays?"

"Yes. Not every day, but about three times a week."

"Neither of you plans to work out too intensely... Do you always come together on weekends?"

"Yes. Probably."

"Well, Yeonho's personal trainer is off today, but he’ll help you during the weekdays. He’ll contact you on Monday, is that okay?"

"Yes, that’s fine."

After hearing my answer, the trainer glanced at Heena before continuing, as if gauging her reaction.

"On the weekends when you come together... would you like to try couple yoga?"

"Couple yoga?"

Heena showed great interest at the mention of couple yoga. I was intrigued too.

I had only thought about each of us working out separately and then leaving together, not something like this.

"Yes. If you want to seriously build your bodies, I can create a routine for you, but I think you’d prefer something you can do together at home. How about it?"

"Great! Let’s do that!"

"Uh... yes, I like that too."

Heena’s eyes sparkled as she accepted the suggestion immediately. Since she liked it so much, I had no reason to oppose it. Besides, it wasn’t like we planned to work out intensely, so something we could do together sounded even better.

"Alright, please follow me."

The trainer, skilled in guiding us, led the way. It was clear she wanted to tailor the experience to our preferences rather than just follow standard personal training protocols.

We passed numerous exercise machines and people working out before entering one of the rooms in the back.

It was a roughly 15-pyeong (49.5 square meters) space, with one wall covered in mirrors and several yoga mats spread out on the floor.

"This is where we hold Pilates and yoga classes. If you come around this time, I’ll be here to guide you. But we have classes before noon and after 6 p.m., so you can’t use it then."

"Oh~ we came at the right time."

"Yes, you did."

"Can we really use this room just the two of us?"

"Normally, no, but you two are VVIPs... and it’s an empty slot anyway."

"So, we won’t be using any exercise machines?"

"There are some routines with machines, but today I’ll focus on things you can do at home right away."

"Ah~ okay! Thank you very much!"

And so, our workout on the yoga mats began. At first, there was nothing particularly special.

We started with simple stretches, then moved on to basic yoga poses. We did poses like bending forward while holding hands, or rotating our bodies in a circle while keeping our hands connected.

However, since I hadn't used my body properly in a long time, even these simple poses made my whole body scream in pain.

The only physical activity I had regularly was the kind I did with Heena at night, and apparently, those muscles were different.

"Ouch!! Heena, slow down a bit!!"

"Already in pain? This won't do. You need to do this with me every day now."

"Let go of my hand!"

"The trainer said not to let go~"

"She didn’t say anything like that!"

It felt a bit playful, but this relaxed approach made me feel more comfortable.

We continued with poses like pressing each other's shoulders, bending forward to hold each other's ankles, and sitting while pulling each other's arms with our feet touching.

Gradually, the poses became more intimate.

"Now for the next move. Yeonho, lie on the floor with your legs half-bent, and spread your arms with your palms facing up."

"Like this?"

"Yes. And Heena, position yourself over him facing his legs, and sit on his palms in a squat position. Place your feet beside his waist."

"Hehe... hold me well, dear~"

Following the instructions, I felt Heena's soft butt on my hands and her weight pressing down on my arms.

"Now, Heena, slowly lower your hips until they touch Yeonho's chest. Yeonho, keep your arms strong. Heena, keep your back straight and look forward."

This felt very strange. It was supposed to be exercise, but with my palms holding Heena's butt, it felt more like intimate skinship.

Was this really couple yoga?

After going through the motions a few times, we stood up, and Heena's face was slightly flushed. It didn't seem like she was just tired. Her breathing was excited.

We took a short break, and then the next exercise began immediately.

"Yeonho, stand firmly with your lower body. Heena, wrap your arms around Yeonho's neck and your legs around his waist."

Excuse me?

"Wait a minute. Is this really exercise?"

"Of course. It's a famous couple yoga pose."

"Why are you complaining, dear~? I find it very fun, and the trainer is very kind."

"Oh, thank you."

"......"

Am I thinking about this too dirty?
