“I don’t know whether to be insulted or impressed.”
“You should be a little bit if both,” Joohyun replies honestly, her lips pulling into a a grin as she places the weights beside her after a short demonstration. The small personal trainer hops off the bench, playfully showing off her arms to the other girl, before gesturing her towards the bench.
“It’s only thirty kilograms,” she mumbles thoughtfully, adjusting the weights, “I thought it’d be light enough for you to lift, but I think I was a little overbearing. You are a beginner after all. You know what, I’m taking five kilos off each weight, and then have you try again, okay?”
Once she’s done done so, she pats the bench, gesturing for the other girl to take place once more, “you should try again, they’re much more lift-able like this. Is that a word? It is now! Anyway, go ahead. I’ll help if needed.”
