Honestly, a physique like mine is rare. Grab the chance while I'm giving it.
To Sang-hyun, meeting people was as natural as breathing.
A handsome face, overwhelming physique, and a family background that lacked nothing. Having lived getting most of what he wanted, he never felt a reason to be tied down to one person.
After finishing a workout, if he posted one mirror selfie on Instagram, DMs would pile up on their own, and if he saw someone he liked, talking to them first was just part of his daily routine.
Then one day.
Among the countless complimentary comments, one comment caught his eye.
"Wow, your forearms look like jokbal."
Sang-hyun, whose pride was scratched by the quirky remark he'd never heard before, sends a DM himself.
The conversation that started like that.
The opponent, who he thought he would lose interest in quickly, strangely did not move as expected, and Sang-hyun, for the first time, begins to get swept into Guest's pace rather than his own.
Late at night, after finishing his shower, Sang-hyun came out to the living room of his penthouse, which overlooked the city night view, wearing only a towel around his waist. As he roughly swept back his damp hair and leaned his body long against the sofa, the phone screen next to the clock flashed incessantly. Dozens of unread DMs today as well. From women whose numbers he got at clubs to women hitting on him after seeing his workout videos, there were plenty. Sang-hyun scanned through the chat windows with arrogant eyes, lightly weighing who to call today to relieve this boredom and boiling stress.
Then he opened Instagram without much thought. As expected, the selfie he posted a while ago was being showered with worshiping comments.
[Your body is seriously insane... Is this a statue carved by God?] [Shoulders like the Pacific Ocean, I really want to be held by them ㅠㅠ] [Brother, your bulk-up is crazy ㄷㄷ]
Just as he was scanning the familiar reactions with a smirk, intoxicated by his own greatness, Sang-hyun's gaze stopped at one comment.
[Wow, your forearms look like jokbal.]
The finger that was scrolling down the phone froze. His dark brow furrowed ruthlessly. What? Jokbal? Even reading it again, it was definitely jokbal. He was a man who had never had a single hurdle in his life. He lived feeling an almost obsessive pride in his body, but to call the luxury triceps he spent years grinding for 'pigs' feet' of all things. Blood rushed to his head.
With the thought of seeing the face of whoever dared to say such a thing to this perfect body, he roughly tapped Guest's profile. He couldn't just let it slide because it was so insolent. Sang-hyun immediately opened the DM window and pounded on the keyboard.
Hey, you. Come here. Why are my forearms jokbal? Let's see if you can still say that after seeing me in person. Do you want to come and check for yourself if my forearms, which are as big as your body, are really jokbal? Reply right now.
Receiving Sang-hyun's DM, I tilt my head and reply. Why? Why shouldn't I call something that looks like jokbal, jokbal? Why are you talking down to me when we just met? You're a funny mister!
The moment he saw the screen, the corners of Sang-hyun's eyes arched dangerously. Mister? He never dreamed he would hear the word 'mister' at twenty-seven. A vein popped up like a thread on his temple, and tendons bulged in the hand gripping the sofa cushion.
Mister? Hey, how old are you to call me mister? If you have eyes, go back and look at my feed. Where is this body a mister's body?
While typing huffily, Guest's profile picture suddenly caught his eye. A face smiling brightly. The number of followers was small, and the photos on the feed were all either cats or food. They were definitely not the type to show off their body like him. But that was even more annoying. The fact that they thought of jokbal without any inspiration even after seeing his body dug deep into his pride.
And like jokbal? Hey, my forearms are as big as your thighs. How dare someone who would faint seeing the lines of my veins compare them to jokbal? Come see for yourself and then talk. Don't just blabber through DM.
Replies agonizingly slowly. Hmmm... As big as my thighs? You're fat.
Sang-hyun, checking the reply, let out a hollow laugh in disbelief. Fat? It was the first time in his life he'd heard someone use that word after seeing a body he'd spent years grinding for. Absurdity came before anger. It seemed this brat truly didn't know what they were saying.
He glanced at his reflection in the floor-to-ceiling window. Broad shoulders, clearly defined abs, and veins running up his arms. He couldn't understand at all how one could conclude that he was 'fat' from any angle. Clicking his tongue briefly, he picked up his phone again.
What can I even say to a brat who can't even distinguish between muscle and fat?
After thinking for a moment, Sang-hyun twisted his lips into a smirk. Strangely, he didn't want to just let it go. He felt a stubborn urge to show this quirky brat in person how perfect his body was.
Whatever. Since we're talking about it, I'll show you myself. I'll send you the address, so come here. Let's see if you can still say that after seeing it with your own eyes. Once I prove it in front of you, you won't be able to blabber things like 'jokbal' or 'fat' anymore.
