Gyun woke up to the sound of his alarm going off, he felt refreshed despite the time displayed on the clock, 3:45 AM. It was a side affect of the Martial God Physique that Gyun had crafted to be the pinnacle of human performance by gradually shifting and expanding muscles and bones in his body using Qi when he was in Murim it allowed him to have a greatly improved recovery rate.
It allowed him to destroy his body in a workout and recover stronger the next day and allow him to sleep slightly less then most people.
Getting out of his bed he threw on a pair of workout clothes putting his school uniform in his school backpack along with his school materials, before walking out to the kitchen and filling a water bottle with protein powder and water before shaking it up he slid it into the side pocket of the backpack.
Grabbing his meal prepped breakfast which was in a series of containers he slid them into the front pocket of the backpack he also filled up a second water bottle putting it in the opposite side pocket. He ate a small energy bar for a boost in energy as he unlocked the door heading out to workout at the gym for 2 hours before heading to school.
Checking the time again, it was 3:51 and the gym was about a 2 miles away, and Gyun liked to get in two hours of workout before school started at 7:45 at least, sighing as he popped the earbuds back in
------------------
As Gyun entered the gym he was once again blown away by how empty it was at this time in the morning.
He scanned his card and checked in, heading to the locker room he put his backpack in the locker before heading out he grabbed the water bottle from the side pocket.
He first started with a 10 minutes on the treadmill at a smooth pace of 12 KMH (7.5MPH) working up a a bit of a sweat. He moved to weight training, lifting mostly for reps he kept his weights moderately heavy, today was supposed to be back and shoulder workouts.
After an hour and a half of weight training he hopped back on the treadmill for a slow jogging pace of 6 KMH (3.8 MPH) for 8 minutes. Leaving him 12 minutes to shower and change out before 6 AM.
Heading back to the locker room, he switched out his empty water bottle for the protein shake downing it one go. taking a quick shower in the gym's .
Gyun didn't have to worry about anybody coming in but he still wore his boxer briefs because he'd been caught unawares a few times. Throwing his gym clothes and and the wet boxer briefs in separate plastic bags tying them up and putting them in his backpack to later throw in the laundry.
Changing back out into his school clothes he walked out of the gym, and walked the mile and a half to school making it before 6:40 and into class as the school opened. He made it with plenty of time as he ate in the empty classroom his breakfast watching a video on advanced boxing footwork before putting the container back in his backpack. Checking the time it was about 7:10 and the first student besides Gyun came in and sat in the classroom.
Gyun spent the remaining time on his laptop working on his online school courses meant to help him learn multiple classes worth of knowledge in the 5 months before he was scheduled to take the high school GED.
-------------------------------
School finally ended as the bell run and Gyun was once again left mentally exhausted as he closed his mathematics notebook.
People were filing out of the class as Gyun got up from his desk, it hurt to lift his backpack as his shoulders and back were incredibly sore.
Someone approached him from behind while he was walking down the hall, "Hey you're Gyun right?"
It was someone Gyun didn't know nor recognize, he looked lanky and a bit like a delinquent but giving him the benefit of the doubt since he didn't know him, "Yeah?"
The student looked at his phone then Gyun, he hesitated for a moment before speaking "nice to meet you"
"?" Gyun was confused before he replied, "Oh, nice to meet you"
-Weirdo- Gyun walked away hurriedly, he remembered Juwon said his class was down the hall, so he walked their and waited until he appeared.
Spotting Juwon he waved, Juwon hesitated for a moment before walking over to meet him. Gyun greeted him enthusiastically "What's up man?"
Juwon looked around before lowering his voice, "what the hell was that yesterday you beat the shit out Jisung and Kim Hajun"
Gyun turned around to walk towards the stairs Juwon followed him, "Is that why you left right after I tied up Hajun's sleeping friends? Man I was just high on adrenaline"
"You jumped off the third floor"
"It was in the moment" Gyun tried to brush it off
Juwon seeing that Gyun wasn't taking anything he was saying seriously, "Fine!" he sighed as he pressed his fingers to his temple massaging them. "There's a fight tonight for ONE FC I'm hosting a watch party if you want to come"
Pulling out a granola bar he munched on it as the duo walked, "Is anyone else going to be there?"
Juwon seemed a bit embarrassed as he answered, "Well.....no b-but I mean I really haven't asked anybody"
"Will there be food?"
"Hell yeah ! I'm going to order some pizza and some fried chicken from that one restaurant that I've been hearing about. "
One thing popped in Gyun's head as he heard this, -Cheat Day-
He kept his voice calm however despite him almost salivating at the thought, "Yeah I'll come, I just got to tell my mom"
Pulling out his phone to text his mom, Gyun started texting before pausing, "Wait how long will it be?"
"Uhhh around 4-5 hours of fights"
Gyun looked up from his phone to him "Damn!"
"Yeah, I was gonna ask if you want to stay the night since it's from 8:00 to 3:00 AM" Juwon laughed.
Gyun chuckled at the thought "fuck it! I'm in I'm sure my mom will be fine" he said as he sent a message to his mom.
Juwon smiled, "I knew you'd be in, my parents are out of town for the month so we'll be fine, and my sister just stays in her room when I'm watching my fights so we'll basically have the house to ourselves besides it's Friday night no homework until Monday right?"
"Speak for yourself" Gyun chuckled
"That's right you lucky bastard you said you don't even have to do homework you just have to take the tests, and you join school on a Wednesday. I wondered what you did to get that type of easy school life."
Gyun kept his smile but didn't reply looking back at the ground as they walked along the sidewalk.
Juwon realized he'd hit a sensitive spot and quickly moved on, "well I've got work today and if I want to afford that pizza and the fight card I've got to get that money somewhere."
"Oh? Part time?"
"Yeah"
"Where do you work at?"
"Me? I work over at a cafe"
"Hmm, do they have free wifi?"
