30 minutes after all the planning and conviction. Dae-ho was unfocused in bed and spoke. ''Rose, do you have anything for me?''
[No, the system has unlocked your growth so you can see more noticeable changes in your body. Everything else is from your efforts. The mission category is currently suspended after all.]
''Oh... that's a shame.'' Dae-ho said while picking himself up and looking at the paper. ''I guess no one is going to exercise for me so let us begin.'' He got off the bed full of energy and went to the wardrobe picking a gym outfit and began to wear it. Then after eating breakfast, just a couple of toasts with milk, and cleaning his teeth he went to the door.
Actually, he wasn't feeling that great emotionally. He had received the memories from the former body and everything seemed so familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. And if he had to be honest just looking at the door made him shake and made his mood sour. It's inevitable the influence of the former memories were just that bound to the body. He gritted his teeth and picked the oldest of the 2 pairs of sneakers he had.
When he took a step outside his heart began to beat uncontrollably. Like a hammer was constantly hitting on a surface. He began sweating a little too.
This is a matter of fact. The body and the mind are both linked if you perceive something you fear your body will instinctively stress. It's in a way if you have fear of spiders, dogs, or anything like that. If you see one you will bring full attention to that. But that is not the biggest issue, you will obviously tense up each time that thing walks. And if you walk beside that thing it will seem like your body doesn't have the strength or when it passes by you feel your legs like jelly.
It is something that happens to everyone. And it is something psychological obviously and although the fears Dae-ho consciousness still had the control.
This obviously was something that he should get the body used to, obviously there shouldn't be a rushed treatment for it. Mental and physical issues require time and patience to heal. He had a plus since his consciousness was like a 3rd person watching the life of the former.
He decided to go inside and figure something out.
After looking around the small apartment Dae-ho found a pair of masks. They covered up to his nose. This wasn't too surprising for him. Since he had debuted already and although fans didn't really like him until the day the industry terminated him. Well, it was to be expected. Anyway, all that to say that he did need some measures. Although not many people knew him but still.
This obviously was a plus for him since with a mask unconsciously you will feel more confident or less fearful. And in his case for a body fearing the outside nothing could come more in handy than a mask.
He wore the mask and went outside. First, he began walking outside slowly. Just to look around, after all, everything he could remember but it still was quite weird for him after all.
He walked until he was met with a park and here he began picking up his pace. There were still some people who looked at him strangely. After all, someone coming to a park with a mask was so out of place and weird that people became wary of him.
Dae-ho picked up his pace because of this after all. It was bound to happen and he knew it. So he had to focus and not care about the people around him. He knew why people were wary of him and it was obvious and he knew himself that was not going to harm anyone around.
' Breathe, breathe everything is okay. Just one lap around the park will be enough.' He ran at a moderate pace. So it didn't take too long for a full lap around the park.
After the first lap, he was breathing slightly faster when he stopped but he knew he could do it once more. So that is what he did this time he stopped thinking about the people around him which made it less stressful.
Ending the second lap he was breathing heavy, not the heavy heavy of exhaust but sweating enough to tell he had done exercise. So he straightened his back and began breathing from his nose to then exhale from his mouth. This for 30 seconds which was enough to stabilize his breathing.
Once he regulated his breathing he decided to for the second exercise which was surprisingly squats. 3 sets of 15 squats in between each set he would rest for 10 seconds. It was an exercise good enough to build the core. It was what he wanted, you don't build a house from the roof after all and that was Dae-ho's logic.
After the squats, Dae-ho did 2 sets of 10 side lunges after all it would help him in flexibility. Flexibility was something really important in everything, most injuries are prevented by it. At least injuries alone, sometimes you can run and miss a step and casually stress a ligament beside the knee.
Obviously, things happen and he couldn't think it would happen to others but not him. So better start early to prevent future problems.
And for the profession he wanted to walk into was required flexibility to manage many stunts, dance moves, and everything.
Time went by with him exercising, he took his time doing the exercises. Better do the exercises slower and well than rushed and badly. Exercising is all about the muscles you use. You go to a gym and the plan they give is generally each muscle for each machine or exercise for different days. And if Dae-ho wanted to reach balance he had to be rigorous with himself.
After 1 and half hours of exercising he was dead tired and breathing heavily and he felt wobbly on his feet so he dragged himself to a nearby bench and sat down. He began relaxing his body laying his back on the rest of the bench and lifting his head to the sky.
He saw the clear blue sky. 'Definitely a beautiful day ain't it?' after a bit he felt someone touching him on the side.
Which startled him, so he changed his attention to the culprit. A small girl in her 10's was looking from side to side not making eye contact. The little girl had big blue eyes coupled with long black hair. She had slight chubby cheeks which added to her cuteness. The girl had on top of her head a red beret coupled with a red dress. Everything is neatly placed and with matching red little shoes. The red beret looked a little too big for her little head, but it just added cuteness. She looked shy too...
' No no don't look at me like that, you were the one to touch me... why do I feel like I am the one who as to say something?' Dae-ho tough to himself while looking at the girl. What was happening to him was really random.
The girl looked at an older woman a couple of meters away with a red beret on her head too. The woman just gave her a thumbs-up as if encouraging her.
'' Sir could you give me my jacket it is.. be below you...'' the girl said hesitantly while looking to the side and grabbing the end of her shirt. Obviously, the little girl had a shy personality.
When he heard the little girl he began blushing. He didn't even check the bench with how tired he had been. He picked himself quickly and picked the jacket and gave it to the girl and bowed 2 times and apologized. ''I'm sorry little girl. I didn't see your jacket.'' Dae-ho was definitely embarrassed.
The little girl looked at his apologetic eyes for a second and nodded while grabbing her jacket and running to the older woman. Once she arrived beside the older woman she tried to hide herself with the woman's legs. Meanwhile, the woman took off her glasses, she looked like an older version of the little girl, just way more elegant with a refined air to her. Even with the distance, he could feel it. The woman began laughing while she looked at the little girl and told her some things, giving her a hug.
She then looked at Dae-ho and gave a little wave with a smile and a small bow. And both of them resumed their lives.
Seeing her reaction Dae-ho couldn't help but smile. ''What an odd duo.'' He once again sat down on the bench to relax when he heard rose's voice saying.
[You are really carefree huh? So you know that when the little girl came talking to you, 3 men closed down from blind spots. Just to give you a heads up.]
Hearing her Dae-ho froze. He picked himself up the next moment and jogged to his house while. 'The world is so dangerous? My first interaction in this world was with some hidden powerful force? And Rose don't tell me these things unless there is obvious intent to harm me. Ignorance is bliss never heard of it?'
[I was just saying. But it is noted. I wouldn't want the host to have a heart attack because of some body guards.]
