My Trainer Is A Hottie

Having Yuri around for quite some time now in the gym, Jessica was slowly getting adjusted to it. She still hated her for the fact that Yuri cheated on her eitherway. Juhyun was happy to feel the change of mood between the two. Juhyun has been in the background, watching her two friends the whole time. She would watch as Yuri kept trying speaking to Jessica, as if trying to get their previous friendship back together. She watched as Yuri became tactful in wooing Jessica back to being okay with her by dropping her little gifts, whether it be an energy drink or lunch. Of course, Jessica would dispose of it in the beginning or give it to somebody else. Eventually, Jessica began accepting it and even started talking to Yuri a bit more by responding to her. Still, Jessica never made the first approach and Juhyun understood.

Juhyun peered over to check where Jessica was and saw that she was busy with a client. Satisfied, she snuck onto Yuri's office and closed the door behind her.

Yuri gave her a weird look and asked with food in , holding her chopsticks, "what are you doing here?"

Juhyun stepped closer to Yuri's desk and leaned over with a teasing look. "I see you've been making progress with our Sica," she chaffed.

"Not funny," Yuri snarled as she chewed on her food.

"Well, it's a good thing," Juhyun nodded, "I want you guys to get along since you work together after all. I just came by to tell you that you're doing a very good job."

"Thanks," Yuri mocked and filled with food once again after gulping down the food that was inside previously.

"I really wish for our trio group to be back together again," Juhyun said as she sat down on the free chair beside her.

"Yeah, I really miss those days. No worries. Just the three of us," Yuri reminiced as she kept chewing.

"There better be no funny business this time," Juhyun threatened her friend. The last thing she would want is for them to get back together and potentially destroy the good thing that's happening again.

"I promise, there won't be," Yuri gulped her food down, "after all, I ed up big time and I don't think she'll take me back anymore anyway."

"Do you still harbor feelings for her?"

"I will always do," Yuri admitted, "but there's nothing I can do about that anymore. I would prefer for our friendship to mend once again instead."

 

When Jessica got done with the session with her client, she went to her office to take her lunch break. She prepared herself some grilled chicken, half cup of rice, and a side of salad with balsamic vinegarette dressing. Jessica usually made shakes for lunch but since she had no client after her lunch break, she felt she owed it to herself to have an actual meal for lunch instead of her usual meal replacement shakes. Before even taking a bite out of her lunch, Juhyun stepped into her office.

"You're eating this time I see. You seem to be in a certain good mood for you to be able to eat actual lunch," Juhyun was delighted.

"I had no client after lunch so I figured why not make myself a nice lunch today," Jessica explained as she placed a piece of the salad inside and chewed on it.

"Well, I'm happy you're eating a real meal this time," Juhyun smiled, "anyway, how's it going with you and Yuri? Do you still feel ill feelings for her?"

Jessica pondered as she continued to chew on her salad and gulped it down before answering Juhyun, "I still feel some type of hate towards her. But not going to lie, it's slowly getting easier for me to see her around."

"That's good. I could only hope things between you two look up from now on," Juhyun told her, "I'm going to go back to my office now though. If you need anything, I'll be there."

"Yup," Jessica nodded as she chomped on another piece of her salad while watching her friend step out of her office. She thought about her feelings more towards Yuri while chewing her food. She remembered that it's been past a month since Yuri's been back in the gym. Jessica had been thinking everyday about their relationship ever since then. She could only hope that things between them remain peaceful from here onward.

 

As their normal routine went, Jessica saw Taeyeon at their usual meeting time, which was after the girl's office job. Jessica was actually getting along more with Taeyeon ever since their unusual meeting at the cafe when she took off time for her personal trainer job. Taeyeon would always ask how Jessica was doing and they would have personal conversations more and more during their workout routine.

Jessica decided that it was probably time for Taeyeon to graduate from only doing calisthenics to introducing her into other workout equipments. Of course, she started her off slowly with light dumbbells implemented on their workouts. She also introduced her to the medicine balls, starting at the lowest weight possible.

"Alright, we're going to do the same thing like we did before. But this time, there will be an added weight towards it."

Taeyeon and Jessica were at the usual free room they were in with yoga mats on the side for the both of them. Taeyeon was surprised that they were adding weights this time. Although she didn't think much of it since they were just small dumbbells, doing their usual exercises with them just reminded her of the time she just started doing exercises with Jessica.

"It's harder to achieve your previous accomplishment for reps huh?" Jessica client as she watched her client did dumbbell scaptions, "do you feel your back and shoulders burning yet?!"

"They've been burning after the 5th rep," Taeyeon whined as she watched herself doing the exercise on the huge wall mirrors. She focused on keeping her back straight while raising the dumbbells from her side, palm facing up, above her head with her arms stretched out a bit and back down to her sides.

"You're doing a great job so far eitherway," Jessica complimented her to keep her head up, "you probably wouldn't have lasted this long if we haven't built up your muscles a little bit with calisthenics."

"You're not wrong," Taeyeon exhaled as she lifted the dumbbells from her side and inhaled as she brought it slowly back down to her sides, "and I'm thankful I have such a good trainer to start this journey with."

"You should start paying me if you really want to thank me," Jessica joked and laughed.

"Did you really want me to? I mean, I should have been paying from the start," Taeyeon asked, stopping from her repetitions.

"I'm kidding. I'm keeping my word that this is all free."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, Taeyeon."

"Well how about this, I pay my heartfelt gratitude by offering you dinner," Taeyeon asked her trainer. Slick, she thought to herself.

"Oh, is my little 'human paper' asking me out on a date?" Jessica joked. She learned of Taeyeon's office nickname when they talked more on their previous sessions about being called with that name as her motivation to be stronger.

Taeyeon's face turned red. She didn't really think much about her offer to Jessica until her trainer had said that. Thankfully, her face was already red enough from working out.

"Is that what it's called?" Taeyeon questioned.

"I'm kidding," Jessica giggled.

"I... uh... Kim Taeyeon would like to ask Ms. Jung to a date!" Taeyeon exclaimed, not hearing what Jessica had previously said, also causing the others in the free room to look at each other and giggle to themselves.

Jessica looked around towards the other people in the room and turned to Taeyeon, who was looking at her intensely. It was definitely a surprise to Jessica to think that the frail girl in front of her actually wanted to ask her out when it was supposed to be a joke. Taeyeon

I was thinking about it, in my first comment I got angry, but now with a cold mind.

1. I believe from my point of view that the villain here is yuri: she is hurting tiffany, hurting jessica and incidentally taeyeon.



2. jessica doesn't even know what she wants but she needs to understand that with yuri the relationship is going to do exactly the same and there is no trust anymore it reminded me of the case of robert pattinson and kristen who cheated on her they came back but they couldn't make life anymore now they are better with their current partners.



2. tiffany needs to get away from yuri.



3. Jessica has to realize that Taeyeon really loves her and it's the safest thing for her. I don't know how the ending will be, but there must be a process. to give Yuri a happy ending, it would be bad, she's a selfish person who doesn't let others be happy. she only thinks of herself.

Chapter 21: I've been trying to understand where Yuri's coming from, but her actions doesn't match up with her words. I think her suggestion was just an excuse to get Jessica back again, or at least take advantage of the effect she still has on the woman. Jessica was left with a huge trauma, and from their past conversation it seemed that her trust issues have been going on for quite a while now. While I believe they did love each other when they were together, it looks like they have issues of their own from the very start that piled up until it came down to the couple's downfall—Yuri being caught cheating and the rest follows.

Taeyeon did the right thing. If that was me, I wouldn't want to stick around a person who doesn't know what they truly want. When it comes to past relationships, there would always be some left over feelings, of course the great memories would stay, and I think rather than having feelings left for the person, you actually miss the memories and how you felt at that moment. I guess that's how Jessica actually feels.

But yeah. Love is indeed complicated. We all have different experiences. What works for someone may not work for others. I just hope that Jessica is on the right track and is actually taking steps to protect her heart.

Ahhh I've said a lot HAHAHAHA. Yuri's really striking up a nerve with her personality here ngl. Thank you for the update authornim! ^_^

Chapter 21: Lmao I knew that would be happen but actually reading it makes me laugh out loud, author you really calling an enemy with that kissing scene 🤣
Ah wish TaengSic doesn't have RossxRachel We were on break fight, I mean is that considering cheating..? or not..? 🤔
Anyway, the way Sica talk with Taeyeon in car about how they should have break and how she very guilty about it yet still doing it, can't help but feel like she and Yuri is same. That's what Yuri did to Sica, keep saying sorry but no idea what she sorry about. Oh well, wish Sica doesn't feel jealous or upset if she ever seen Taeng kiss or with someone else, cause I don't feel she have right anymore.
Thanks for update~
