Chapter 52: Fifty One

While Seulgi and Wendy walked towards each other, the two groups converged. A few satellites were called out to so they can join the ever enlarging group. Everyone went into the changing rooms and got into their workout gear. Once everyone was changed, they went out onto the main floor and regrouped. As new and unknown people had joined the group, introductions were made. Everyone agreed to just say their name as the group was too large to do formal introductions. It was an unspoken agreement that they would just use names, not job titles or official positions. This was strictly unprofessional and non-work related fun. There would be no pecking order involved. Except for Seulgi, who was the boss of her group regardless of the social situation and whether she wanted to be or not.

Seulgi started by introducing herself.

Wendy continued by introducing herself.

Jackson introduced Gillian as his wife a bit louder than strictly necessary. There were a couple of audible sighs outside the group that they grinned at.

Nayeon continued and next to her was a short, young, and very pretty girl named Katie Kim.

Min-Jeong and Yeojin both showed up with someone from the legal department.

Bhuwakul had just shown up out of nowhere with a huge grin. Seulgi’s people were sort of used to this, so not too phased. Wendy, however, was taken back for a moment. She was fairly used to being around pretty people, but Bhuwakul was arresting even for their group. More disconcerting was how he was looking at Seulgi like a hungry tiger looking at a lamb chop.

Seulgi whispered to Wendy “Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it.”

Wendy, in order to not be too overwhelmed, brought along a couple of people. They introduced themselves as well. They also deferred to Wendy the way Seulgi’s did her.

As this gym was a full facility, everyone went to do their own things.

The Terrible Twins went to go do laps in the Olympic sized pool. Their plus ones had a less than noble desire to see them in swimsuits than to actually work out, but they did their laps, too.  

Jackson and his wife went to do circuit and weight training.

Nayeon and Katie went to the Pilates equipment.

Soon it was just Seulgi and Wendy (and Bhuwakul) left. They decided to join Nayeon and Katie at the Pilates equipment. Neither of them had really much of an idea what to do with it but decided to watch and see if it was something for them. If it was too busy, they could just use the track and jog for a while.

There were six stations in the Pilates area. All of them were being used when they got there. They decided to watch for a while to see if this was something that they not only wanted to do but if they could do it too. There was an element of gymnastics that they were not too sure about but the stretching looked interesting.

 Nayeon was already into her routine leaving Katie to wait for another station to open up. They started chatting while warming up. Katie had been doing this for quite some time and told them about the stretches, routines, workouts, etc. There was an element of mental gymnastics as well as physical.

During the indoctrination, Bhuwakul wandered off in search of something more interesting to do.

Both Katie and Nayeon had done Pilates long enough to continue with what they already knew. So, Seulgi and Wendy decided to stay, but they would mimic Katie and her workout as if they wanted to get into this seriously, they would have to take classes. Like most workouts, there were aspects that targeted each of the muscle groups, strengthening, endurance, and other things.

But, for today, getting a feel for it should be enough. Hopefully, Katie would be a better teacher than Nayeon as Seulgi remembered her first inglorious introduction to the exercise.

Seulgi did not remember meeting Katie that day, but Katie remembered Seulgi. Very few people could ever forget meeting her. In a rare moment of diplomacy, Katie pretended as if this was their first meeting. Katie was the maknae of the group, but she could still teach the older two what they needed to know.

Guidance was given, stretches done, limbs loosened, and all that was left was to wait for stations to be finished to get their training started. As total novices, they wanted to do a general overall set. Katie would walk them through what to do, and how to do it, then show examples of each movement.

Despite themselves, Seulgi and Wendy were starting to get excited about learning something new. About this time, there was an announcement over the tannoy asking for help in the pool. There seemed to be a bit of chaos that needed to be calmed down. The Terrible Twins’ chaos struck again, it seemed.

Seulgi would find out the next day that one of the lawyer boys came to work with a black eye for saying something that was not appreciated. When people found out what was said (by the other guy) they had no sympathy for him.

The three were watching Nayeon going through her routine. Katie was explaining what she was doing, what muscle groups were being worked on, and how it affected each aspect of the body. They started critiquing other people, discussing – quietly so as to not interfere with the other’s concentration - what others were doing and why.

They started focusing on one person in particular. A slightly older woman of phenomenal beauty. She was graceful, in perfect control, and somehow even more beautiful with the sweat running down her face. There was a hushed quiet zone around her as if even the clanking weights would be intimidated by her aura.

There was a stony faced, tsundere aspect to her presence. At the same time, no one could not pay attention to her. Even Seulgi and Wendy both felt a bit dim in her presence. Not many people were more beautiful than this pair, but this woman was in a league of her own.

They looked at the name on the gym bag next to this icy, ethereal beauty: Bae JooHyun.
