⸻ THE WIND BENEATH MY WINGMAN ( ft. @lgcjino )

Byeongkwan intends to spend what would be his last few months of training ( still such a strange concept to wrap his mind around ), enjoying what was left of his semi-freedom. Sure, the trainee schedule had always been somewhat rigorous. But he liked being in control of his schedule after hours and making time for what really mattered -

The bench.

The Legacy gym has always been his safe haven in his times of need. Whenever the coaches were giving him a hard time, the barbell rack was there. When his evaluation feedback left him weak in the knees, he could always fall back on leg day and double up on reps. On those rare occasions when he found himself being chased down by existential dread, he could easily outrun it with a few sprint intervals on the treadmill. It truly was his home away from home. And Jino - honorary member of the unofficial gymbro club - seemed to share in his dedication to the sweat.

"Ayo," he greets the actor with a mischievous grin, his gym towel locked and loaded for a swift snap at the other's bicep. "You're late, dude!" Never mind the time on the wall clock or the fact that his gym bud actually happened to be there right on schedule. Early is on time, on time is late, and late means you're not on your grind ( hashtag gainz, hashtag beast mode, hashtag 100 emoji ). "I almost didn't think I'd have an audience for my.... jokes"

Another gym goer just so happens to stroll by - a rather pretty one at that - paying absolutely no attention to the slack jawed trainee gawking at her from across the room.

"Hey, hey - See that girl over there? She's the one I was telling you about last week." Byeongkwan turns back to face Jino, gesturing with a flicker of his gaze to one side, signaling him to discretely look over his shoulder. "I'm gonna ask her out." While he usually followed a foolproof ( heavy on the fool ) system when it came to approaching women - building rapport, observing cues, timing the ask - time was of the essence. Who knows when he'd get another chance to openly ask a girl out once he debuts?

"Wait - Have you met her before? I think she just signed to Agency too... Maybe you could, you know... Introduce us?" He adds with a wiggle of his brows.
