⦙ gym

Whenever they started preparations for any new release or got too busy with promotional schedules, Eunhwi always got a little lax on his gym trips, and hence it had been a while since he had last had a full session. He also had to admit he was not a fan of training alone so whenever his training partners were too busy to keep him company, he was always more inclined to skip, which again, didn't entirely help. Then there was another situation. Whenever he wasn't feeling top form, he also tended to avoid stopping by, though looking at it objectively, that should be even more of a reason for him to do so. His training sessions would help get his head off unpleasant matters, so maybe it would be a good idea for him to make time to stop by, even if he were to just go with whatever he was feeling at the moment instead of sticking to his carefully planned out routines. Any training, or any distraction, was better than none. Holding onto that though, he finally managed to convince himself that getting back to the gym would help him clear his thoughts and get him back on his feet. For the first time in a few weeks, he throws the small hand towel over the treadmill's handrail before pressing a couple of buttons, earpods deep into his ears playing one of his newly made playlists as background music for the hopefully long training session.

@❀ namgung hae ᵇᵒᵈʸᵍᵘᵃʳᵈ instinctively he retrieved his own mat to roll out a safe distance beside her own and began stretching his limbs, testing their flexibility and loosening up any pressure from his muscles after having wrapped up another long day of training with the lotus kids. "excellent! you must have read my mind, i've really been putting off leg day for too long this week." krish admitted with a cheeky almost embarrassed grin. the expression soon simmered down into a serious dark look once getting himself into proper yogic positions, focusing extra attention towards his abdomen and thighs so he could build up endurance. long lashes fluttered shut so he could mentally meditate on his goals, praying to the gods for strength and health. finally krish let out a heavy sigh and flashed another smile hae's way while briefly resting atop his mat. "i think i'm ready for some cardio. any ideas? a run on the treadmill is never a bad bet. we could even race and see how far we get within an hour. i'm not against trying something different though!"

@❀ choi kyungho 「ᴋ」ˣ.ᵐᵖⁱʳᵉ You're becoming such a slowpoke, Kyungho
/shakes his head in a mock disappointment at the taller guy/
Ready to get started?

@❀ han wooseok 「ᴋɪɴɢ」ˣ.ᵐᵖⁱʳᵉ /arrived in the gym not long after, grinning as he sees you already in the middle of warming up. Giving your back a little slap as a greeting/
Yo, already starting without me?

@❀ choi kyungho 「ᴋ」ˣ.ᵐᵖⁱʳᵉ /sends you a text message to let you know that he's already in the gym and starts warming up while waiting for you to arrive/

@❀ namgung hae ᵇᵒᵈʸᵍᵘᵃʳᵈ once giving his beloved daughter a call to ensure she returned home safely and rummaging through the staff lounge fridge to retrieve some of the healthy snacks he prepared on break earlier, krishna was ready to head down to the gym where he planned to meet hae. "anyone here?" he called out as he entered the gym with a glimmering smile, carefully setting his duffel bag down so he could greet her with a proper respectful little bow. "ah, hello there! so what routine are we doing tonight?" following her lead did he begin stretching his limbs to start warming up, the fabric of his shirt already clinging to his muscles as if he did a whole workout before he even arrived.

[] since you hit me with hae's prettiness i gotta clap back visually:

@❀ oh kiseok ᵃᶜᵗᵒʳ the empty space seemed to echo with a rare tranquility. there were only a handful of times beom could recall the gym ever being this empty. so it was always unusual hearing nothing but the sound of machines and ac filling the room. this wasn’t a problem however for the male as he didn’t mind a nice, quiet workout. but boy was he about to be wrong.

within seconds of beomyoung’s second set, a familiar physique reflected in his vision. immediately he knew the bold figure making his rounds, causing a similar gesture they had shared countless times before. “figures you’d show up just when I’m here. can’t imagine you working out without an audience. tsk.” letting go of the weight, he stood with a slight grimace, extending his hand, intending to dap up the other.

@❀ cha beomyoung ᵗʳᵃⁱⁿᵉᵉ it was just one of those rare nights where kiseok was free. nothing more but an ounce of space for himself away from work, work, and more work. god, he was completely zen. while others might’ve normally spent such ungodly hours taking it easy, prepping up for the day that was to come, the actor found it in himself to instead catch up on a much needed workout session to keep himself at bay.

it was long since he’d even step foot in the company gym, let alone saw a personal trainer elsewhere. but where his mind wondered off to was whether he’d see the one person he was usually working out with.. what was his name? hell, that, he’d have to figure out again. but as for his face? oh, one look at him as soon as he entered, and he already knew. his visage essentially twisting with feigned disgust as per usual just to humour the fellow for old time’s sake. it was all coming back now. “damn, had a feeling you were obsessed with me or something– of course you’d be here when i am. how else would you work out right? tsk.”

With night falling, the heat simmered down, allowing for a cool summer night. A light breeze wrapped around the male's back, seemingly following his every step. After taking one last sip from his tumbler before walking back through the company doors that he has seen dozens of times. Yet, it wasn't for training or classes he would be scheduled for. The reason Beomyoung came back to the company of his own volition was to do something he considered therapeutic, working out.

Put simply, ever since Beomyoung started working out with a close friend about two years ago, he considered it part of his daily routine. If he couldn't work out, he certainly filled it with something at home or wherever he was. That's how much he enjoyed the exercise it brought. So coming here during the down hours when it's quiet and mostly just him brought him peace. Though, he noticed this time as he sat down at a machine that there was barely anyone around. He playfully frowned, mostly because he had hoped he could at least conversate with someone during his workout.
