Chapter 104

In truth, Jihong thought that Jaekyung was intimidating him. Isn't it?

"Until you return to your previous weight, nothing will happen," he said. How does he know when this will happen? Obviously, the bulldozer will not have enough patience. He will probably drop by in a couple of days and say: "Hyung, you have become prettier and seem to have gained weight." Jihon took this as a concern: they say, do not overwork, eat well, take care of your health.@@@@

"Oh, so he wants to eat me?" laughed Jihong quietly at the grumbler's words.

But Jaekyung, surprisingly, held out for a long time. Jihon was sure that he would surrender in a couple of days, but no, seven and then ten passed. Even when Jihong hinted frankly, the stubborn man gently touched his waist and firmly replied, "No."

And the phrase "give up stupid thoughts and sleep" appeared because Jaekyung, as soon as he lay down in bed and hugged Jihon, immediately fell asleep. The reason was the grueling training made up by Oliver. The new program was developed for the athlete's goals - to win in the 400 meters. They were aimed at increasing the anaerobic threshold, strength and endurance. Simply put, Jaekyong was pushed to the limit, and then allowed to rest, and so on and so on, as if tempering steel.

Jihon, having familiarized himself with the plan, wondered how it could be done at all. But the swimmer, of course, coped.

Which is not surprising, because Jaekyung did not look like a human in the water, no wonder Noah called him "waterman". As a result, Jaekyung and Oliver even adjusted the intensity of their workouts every day, making them more and more difficult. Good results were not long in coming: the athlete progressed before our eyes. Muscles that seemed to be perfect became even stronger, withstanding repeated loads. The distance he covered with a single push or stroke also increased. He even grew by 0.3 cm, and now exceeded 194 cm. In addition, Jaekyung twice broke unofficial world records in the 100 m freestyle and 200 m in the individual medley.

At a distance of 400 meters, the barrier of 4 minutes 3 seconds was still not submitted to him. Yes, I easily reduced the time to 4 seconds, but I couldn't do it below 3.99.

"Don't worry, at this rate, you will definitely achieve 3 seconds by May. And at the Olympics, with a successful combination of circumstances, you will be able to meet 3.50," Oliver said.

However, Jaekyung did not calm down. He wanted to go under 4 minutes while Oliver was still in Korea: "I need confidence.

And Jihon understood him perfectly. After all, he will have to prepare for the Olympics on his own, and there were more than six months and two qualifying rounds left before it. This was Jaekyung's first and last chance to compete internationally in the 400-meter individual medley. For an athlete, confidence is everything. It helps to get back on track, even if the indicators drop.

"Well, I can do it now, the water is still heated," Jihon muttered.

He tried to laugh it off, as always, but Jaekyung didn't support him, "If you enter the water now, I'm afraid you won't even be able to stay on the surface," he said dryly.

Although Jaekyung went to training in Minwoo's car, he always returned to Jihon after the evening session. And instead of going home right away, I had dinner at his place, spent time there until half past ten, and then called a taxi. When Jihong offered to take him, he only threw a displeased look and grumbled: "You'd better go to bed early.

The reason why Jaekyung came every time quickly became clear: he wanted to have dinner together, or at least make sure that he was eating normally. Even if the training ended early, he never ate alone until Jihong returned. And if Jihon refused dinner, he would sit him down opposite him: "Then just stay with me."

Jaekyung tried to feed Jihon at least something, constantly pushing the plate with the words: "Try it, it's delicious.

"Hey, do you even know that I ate more than you just now?" Jihong tried to object.

But no matter how much they argued, Jaekyung didn't even listen, "What are you talking about?" No matter how hard you try, I'll always eat more. Two, no, three times. So don't worry.

And he stubbornly slipped something to try, and it was always meat. Jaekyung fed him exclusively with him.

Of course, Jihong loved both meat and fish. Maybe not as much as when he was an athlete, but to maintain his height and complexion, he needed a lot of calories, which he usually got from proteins. His portions can hardly be called modest, although Jaekyung asked in surprise at the beginning, "Hyun, do you always eat so little?"

In general, by the standards of an ordinary adult, this was not a small portion at all.

The problem is that if Jihong was used to eating a little at a time, he could just stop, citing satiety. But there is no way to reduce the usual amount of food consumed - otherwise Jaekyung will begin to worry. So he ate, although after Jaekyung left, almost everything came out.
