I finally had a day off and I decided to wake up early to go to the gym. My apartment is owned by the hotel as well, so their tenants can use some of the hotel's facilities such as the gym, pool and from time to time there's offers about discounts at their restaurants and bars. I haven't gone consistently on the gym since working with Yoongi but just my daily encounters with him is enough cardio I guess. My heart both races and stops for him.

Ever since that 'water incident' I've been cautious not to let something like it happen again. It's not that Yoongi wasn't a sport about it, he was.. and even more. Was that flirting? Or did I just read too much into it? Anyway, I'm just not ready to explore that.. whatever that was.

Since I've been busy,  I also haven't had time to do my laundry so I'm scouring my closet for clean gym clothes. I'm looking for my gym shirt the one I usually wear over my sports bra. I'm pretty well covered when I go to the gym cause I'm not very comfortable showing off my curves to be honest, especially my boobs. They're not big , they're just the right size for my frame - full cup C but I get self conscious when I wear those crop gym tops/bra without anything over it especially when I get on the treadmill and I see them bounce a bit despite the sports bra. That's why I choose a gym shirt over it and gym shorts instead of tights to not accentuate my bum which is a curve that I do embrace sometimes but not always flaunted, especially in the gym. I've decided I'll just wear this sports bra and wear a loose tank top over it. I just won't go near the weights cause Ray will tell me off again if I do. He's very strict when it comes to dress code in particular sections of the gym. He said my loose top could get caught up on the barrels etc. so whenever I have this on I just stick to the treadmill.

6:30am

I bee lined to the treadmill and thank goodness the gym is almost empty and there's lots of free ones. I chose the one a little further inside the gym, facing the amazing view of the mountains. I started slow and picked up my speed when I noticed a figure on my peripheral vision, not moving and as if staring at me. I quickly looked to see and this guy is obviously oggling me. I looked down and sure enough my boobs are giving him a show. I didn't want to make a scene at this especially he could be a guest at the hotel and customer service person in me, unreasonably thought I shouldn't call him out on this but I thought I should at least address it.

I slowed down and looked at him. "Can I help you?"

"Oh no no, please carry on I'm just enjoying the view of the mountains" his greasy smile plastered on his face and pointing at the view outside but obviously referring to my breasts. I get the feeling that this guy won't be admitting any wrong doing on his part so I decided to just let it go and move away.

I got off the treadmill and headed further inside the gym. My options are limited because of Ray.. err my outfit. Should I do the ropes? Nah I'd have to bend down and this greasy guy might be there again.

I looked at the counter where Ray usually is. He's not there. Maybe it's his day off. So I started to the weights area and as I sat down to get on a machine I see the greasy guy again and as if we're friends started to wave and walk towards me. Before I can get up he's already standing next to me. 

"Want me to spot you? Here." He reached across me, too close so I instinctively avoided him.

"No i'm fine, there's no need for this one to have spotter." It's a lats pull down machine.

"No please I'd love to help you."

"I'd rather you don't" I said curtly and before he can say another word I heard a familiar voice.

"Why don't you move along?"

We both turned to the man in a black gym top and black shorts. He's about a few inches taller than Grease over here and a little less sweatier.

"Why should I?"

"Cause you're obviously making her uncomfortable."

"Who are you? Her boyfriend?"

I was just sitting there in silence at this exchange. And waiting for his answer at this question.

"I don't have to be her boyfriend to see that your being here, up close and personal in her face is not welcome." As he finished his sentence two more, much taller guys walk in closer to the man and Grease started to walk away putting his hand up in the air.

"Hey, sorry, you were handling it pretty well but I just thought this guy won't leave you." His face concerned.

"No no it's fine. Thank you. I knew that and I was already almost about to smack him." I laughed assuring him that I'm fine. "I didn't know you're fluent." I smiled teasingly.

He reached out to his earlobe and smiled "I'm not fluent."

"Yes you are." Of course there's a bit of an accent there but he is definitely fluent. That type of conversation is charged and if you're not fluent you either fall back to your native tongue or can't speak at all. "Why do you need me?" I genuinely wondered,  not that I'm not thankful but just curious.

"I don't like speaking in English and hearing my voice in English." Hands rubbing on his Adam's apple now. His voice is a bit higher compared to when he speaks in Korean but it's still sexy. Whoops. Did I just say that out loud.

"What are you talking about? You sound fine!"

"Anyway, have you had breakfast?" Changing the topic.

"No not yet."

"Want to join me? The guys already ate and Minho is sleeping in."

"Sure! I'll just get changed and meet you there."
