Bright lights, the sound of heavy breathing, and a crowd of people... The air has grown muggy from the intense movement of everyone inside. As always, the gym is heating up with the energy of the practitioners. Before the hot air has a chance to escape, people from the previous session wipe the beads of sweat from their foreheads with their sleeves while saying their goodbyes. Meanwhile, those who just arrived gather in small groups, chatting while doing light stretches. Soon, the 8:00 PM timer rings, and as if on cue, everyone shakes out their hands, stands up, and begins running in a circle. After the sound of bare feet hitting and peeling off the mats echoes for a while, the gym door opens with a chime.

At the sound of the chime, Choi Yowon's eyes quickly dart toward the door while he's running. The moment his gaze meets the figure entering the gym, he lets out a sly grin as if he isn't tired at all and mumbles under his breath.

Look who finally decided to show up.

He stops running and slips out of the line, casually approaching Guest to throw an arm around your shoulder. With that same playful smirk, he speaks.

You're late~ You're still up for sparring today, right?
