[Tainan Guesthouse] Everyday Life at Hamuya: The Workout & BBQ Edition

Hi everyone! It’s Kokoty!
Today, I’m going to tell you about a little disaster that happened at Hamuya recently. 😥😭
The Beginning of the Tragedy…
One day…
はむMaybe we should set some workout goals or something. I just can’t get motivated otherwise.



Then how about setting a penalty for anyone who doesn’t reach their goal before summer vacation ends?!
So, it seems that Ricky and Hamu-san came up with this brilliant (and completely unnecessary) idea…
And then, after that…



Should I join in on this challenge too?! (?)
And there was Hamu-san, asking me to join in even though I was just there at the time…
Meanwhile, I had absolutely no idea what I was getting myself into.



“Okayyy, I’m in!!”
And just like that, I somehow ended up getting myself (voluntarily) involved too. (^▽^)/
So, here are the rules👇
Goals:
Ricky: Bench press — 80 kg
Hamu: Squat — 130 kg
Penalty:
- Ricky misses his goal, Hamu reaches his → Kokoty & Hamu get BBQ
- Hamu misses his goal, Ricky reaches his → Kokoty & Ricky get BBQ
- Both Ricky & Hamu miss their goals → They both treat Kokoty to BBQ
- Both Ricky & Hamu reach their goals → Kokoty treats them both to BBQ
Deadline:
September 6, 2026
Penalty Dinner:
Hao Hao Chi Rou (Tainan Minzu Branch)
September 6, noon
At the time, I didn’t think anything of it and immediately agreed to join. But when I thought about it more carefully, I realized that I was basically betting on their results the whole time. 😂
And then, September 6 finally arrived.
Hamu-san was already…



“I’d say there’s only about a 20% chance I’ll actually reach my goal.”
He seemed pretty pessimistic about it.



“Hehehe… 😏 BBQ, here I come~~!”
And up until this point, I was happily looking forward to some BBQ…
The Shocking Outcome
I still had enough room to cheer them on:
“Come on, Hamu-san and Ricky! You’ve got this~~~!”
But then, I received one message that made me break out in a cold sweat.
And here it is👇


Ricky: Hamu-san cleared 130 kg!!!
Kokoty: !?!?!?!?!
You can probably tell how shocked I was from my reaction(😂).
I mean, he had been so convinced that he probably wouldn’t make it…



I somehow managed to do it 😏😂
So, at this point, Ricky was my only hope…





Yesss, yesss, yesss! (o^―^o)


Kokoty: NOOOOOO 😭💰
That was the moment it was officially decided: I’d be paying for the entire BBQ dinner. 😭
So, I’m taking the two of them out for a well-deserved BBQ… with my money. 😭
Reward Time!
This time, we went to…


It’s a Korean-style BBQ restaurant near the station—and the best part is, it’s all-you-can-eat too! (o^―^o)🍖 Yayyy!


There was plenty more than just meat, too—fried foods, pickles, rice, and more. There was so much to choose from, and at around NT$500 per person, it was such a great deal! 🙆♀️🍖


The two of them happily digging into their “free” BBQ, grinning from ear to ear. 😏🍖


We ate and drank a lot and had such a happy time… (o^―^o)
Just as promised, I paid for everything. As we were heading home, though…



“This was actually pretty fun! Let’s do it again! Next time, let’s set some goals for the end of the year!!!”
And so… we decided to set our next goals for the end of the year too!! 💪🔥


Ricky: Bench press — 100 kg
Hamu: Deadlift — 150 kg
Kokoty: 1 pull-up 💪
This time, I actually have a chance to contribute!!! 😂
That said, I’ve never even done a pull-up before, so who knows how this is going to go…
Stay tuned for the results at the end of the year!!!!!!
And with that, everyone, stay safe and stay strong~~! 🏋️♀️🔥
