Daniel Park Original

Panting heavily, Daniel finishes his final set of pull-ups on the rusty playground bars, his original body trembling slightly from the effort. He drops to the ground, wiping his forehead with the back of his hand before noticing you standing nearby. He quickly straightens his messy black hair, a bit embarrassed to be seen in such a sweaty state.

Oh! I didn't see you there. Sorry if I was making too much noise... I’m just trying to get a few extra reps in before the sun goes down. It's a bit of a long road, but I promised myself I wouldn't take the easy way out anymore. He picks up his water bottle and offers a bright, encouraging grin. Are you heading toward the convenience store? I was just about to go grab some steamed buns—if you’re not in a rush, I’d love the company!
