The next day... 1:15 PM... At the gym... "I thought today was suppose to be back day on your list," Hoang states as he watches his little sister searching for her pad inside her gym bag. "I switched it to leg day in which I have a love-hate relationship with," Minh states as she finally pulls out her pad. "I almost forgot about that," Linh says. "Well, it's just as complicated as my relationship with a man I'm trying to forget," Minh says as she puts the pad on the bar of the smith machine. Hearing her little sister's statement, Linh's lips stayed silent as she begins to feel her heart feeling anxious all of a sudden as the image of the guy who her sister literally starts appearing in her head. The guy she just had a long conversation with last night after learning that he already has a girlfriend, now only left her feeling more mixed up inside. Suddenly she feels as if she and her sister are sharing the same shoes. While Minh is struggling to forget about Nar who already has a girlfriend, Linh is trying to not even think about any little thoughts about him after having to face too much thoughts with him being her sister's crush and finally knowing that he has a girlfriend. Linh doesn't want to fill her head with more unneccesary thoughts. She figured she should really avoid any thoughts of him at all cost. Though sometimes, she have to admit to herself that these days it's beginning to feel harder after her and Nar begin to communicate at some points, at the gym, or sometimes just exchanging simple messages to one another. She find it hard to even admit to herself that chances are, she is starting to fall for him. "Anyway, I'll be at the dumbells section," Hoang states. "Ok," Linh says. Like Hoang, today is also back day for her. By that, she thought about going to the cable machine for her first workout of the day. Linh's POV... I decided to do some cable rows. Of course, before that I decided to play my favorite workout playlist from my phone, which I could listen anywhere and anytime, simply making me forget about the time. I thought about increasing the weight, just to know whether I actually gain some strenght from a few months of training. Though I'm happy to say that I've been feeling more energic since I started working out, and talk about how my mental state have gotten a lot better, sad to say that I still haven't seen any significant changes on my body. Believe me when I say that I eat normally and even try to bulk at some points, but well, sometimes things just get difficult. Sometimes I find it hard to eat much, it's just like my body easily feels full, and other days I just eat more than usual and still haven't seen any changes. "Back day?" I turn my head a bit to see Mr Tuan already standing on my left side. As my vision goes up to him, his cheesy smile is already placed, which made me wonder how in the world did this man manage to always look as if he is in a good mood. It almost seems like his life doesn't have any problems that triggers him. "Yeah," I answer him. I haven't started the playlist so I could still hear what the bulku yet muscular trainer has to say. "Good choice of time since it's quiet today," Mr Tuan says. "I also wonder why are you kids the only ones here." "Yeah, it also surprises me," I say. Honestly, I was also surprised when I walked in to the gym today to see that we are the only people here. Well, there was a random man doing push-ups in the corner, but I don't think Mr Tuan was concern enough of him. "Anyway, so what are you busy with these days?" Mr Tuan asks. "I do freelance writing," I say. "I'm also working on custom souvenirs to sell online." True, I've been thinking about selling some souvenirs online, by that I started posting photos of some of my design ideas on social media. Yet, I didn't want to spill the fact that I'm also a low-key content creator. I want to keep it silent at least for now, unless he saw one of my videos somewhere and that's just about it probably. "Ah I see," Mr Tuan says. "Too bad I don't have any upcoming events. I would love to see what you packed up." Hearing that, I just let out an awkward laugh. Mr Tuan would really be letting out some cheesy jokes, yet my sister, Minh, thought there is something crazy about him, like in a kind of creepy way. Well, I wouldn't blame her. One time she accidentally caught Mr Tuan making out with a random woman in the yoga room. Of course, that was going to leave a bad impression in her mind. But well, it's kind of pretty obvious that Mr Tuan is quite a flirtatious guy. Even I also found him kind of creepy at some points. Yet, I personally think that he's just a smooth-talker. Maybe he had a thing with the woman in the yoga room that they ended up making out. Hence, I still think as long as I keep some healthy boundaries, everything would be cool. Yet, apart from Mr Tuan's so-called creepy reputation, even though his presence is right in front of my eyes and I should probably think about being scared at him at least a bit, my mind currently lost in a maze of some thoughts that's been running inside my head since last night. A familiar man with beautiful messy hair and exotic tan skin continue to run around in my head, much to the reality that I only see him doing light cardios once a week, but in my head, he's been running around for hours in high speed, which leave my heart feeling in a rush. Nar, it's crazy how I can't seem to get my mind off you since last night, knowing that it won't do me any good and only increase the guilty feeling in me. Meanwhile... After doing her first set and 10 reps of hip thrust, Minh is busy scrolling through her phone trying to find some aesthetic backgrounds she could use to post some heart-broken quotes on social media. Being a low-key influencer herself, Minh likes to keep her contents sassy and aesthetic. Yet right now, she genuinely just feel the desire to post a quote that could represent her blue feeling regarding her discovery about Nar. She thought about wanting to remove him from her head, even if it's gonna take some time. Yet, other than the whole drama about him, there's something else that's been keeping Minh suspicious for some times, though at this point she thought it would be useless to think about it especially when she already plan to forget about Nar. However, these days she noticed how her older sister had been acting quite weird everytime she caught her texting with Nar at some points. Though Linh always tells Minh about whatever she's talking about with Nar, Minh couldn't help but noticed that there's definitely something different about her sister these days, and by what she thought, she thinks that Linh might have develoup feelings for Nar. Is it possible for her to like Nar? Minh thought. To be continue...
