Chapter 160: Chapter 33

It's not clear whether all the people in Joseon were diligent, but Joon Huh was quite an early bird.

He woke Kanghyok up before dawn.

“Wake up!”

“The sun hasn't risen yet, and the bell is still silent.”

“You can't hear the bell here.”

“Can I sleep a little longer?”

“I don't like your learning att.i.tude…”

“Ooops, got it. I'm getting up now.”

When Kanghyok barely raised his head, he saw that Dolsok was still asleep.

Makbong, who wanted to sleep with the madame of the bar last night, was missing.

A little annoyed, Kangkyok pushed Dolsok to the side to go out.

“Come on in.”

“Sure, thanks.”

Joon Huh was already dressed up, ready to go out to see patients.

Quickly straightening his hair, Kanghyok followed him.

Though the bar was noisy with customers last night, there were none now as it was very early in the morning.

Joon Huh warmed up in the yard.

“A doctor's job is to take care of one's body. So, we need to control our body first.”

“You're right.”

“I'm doing this workout to help the cold energy of my body go up while its warm energy go down so as to make the blood circulate smoothly. Just follow my motions.”

“Oh, got it.”

Control one's own body?

That was a thought-provoking and beautiful statement.

Kanghyok totally agreed with that.

‘I trained my body at the gym. I wonder how Joon Huh did it.'

Kanghyok was so curious about him.

“These motions have been traditionally called anmadoin, which is a summary of all the motions that were handed down for many years.”

“Anmadoin. Got it.”

Then, Joon Huh began to move his body very slowly. He sometimes closed his lips and pulled his ears. After rubbing his hands, he put them on his eyes, and rubbed his forehead.

‘His motions look like a ritual rather than workout.'

Kanghyok, steeped in modern medical knowledge, could not understand his actions.

“Now, let me do some complicated motions. So, follow me well.”

“Yes.”

Suddenly came out a shout of concentration from Joon Huh's mouth.

“Eek, Ek.”

“…..”

“Follow me.”

“Ek.”

“Ek.”

Though Kanghyok felt a bit uncomfortable imitating his every action as instructed, he had no other choice but to follow.

As he asked for Joon Huh's teaching, he had to follow anyway.

“Whew!”

“We're not done yet.”

“Oh my G.o.d.”

“Ek!

“Ek!”

If Joon Huh had his own way, he could beat Kanghyok anytime.

Whenever he showed the motion of kicking, the sound it made was loud enough to make Makbong and Yoni come and see.

“Great.”

“He is doing alright.”

Both of them, who were quite good at martial arts, were deeply moved by Jooh Huh's tough motions.

He stopped doing anything further when Kanghyok was about to give up, feeling exhausted.

“Now, we're done.”

“Wow, you've saved me!”

“How come you're so weak, when you're still so young?”

“Oh, I think I'm strong enough…”

“I guess you have to do more to stay fit.”

In the meantime, the sun was rising, with all the mist dissipating.

Only then did the madame of the bar bring them rice bowls with soup.

“Hey, wake up, Dolsok!” shouted Kanghyok.

At Kanghyok's shout, Dolsok woke up and crawled out of the room.

“How lazy are you! You had a sound sleep, didn't you?”

“Sorry, master.”

“Come and have breakfast. You need to help me today.”

“No worries, master.” Dolsok slowly nodded his head.

After finis.h.i.+ng tying a topknot in her room, Yoju came out. She looked more awkward than Yoni.

“Come here for breakfast. Yoni and Makbong, come here.”

“Yes, master.”

Kanghyok stirred the rice soup, which was nothing compared with the food he was served at home.

Only Makbong was enjoying the food.
