“… What did you say now?”

“They said your liver was swollen.”

ha, true

Director Kim Kwan-ho burst out laughing. I heard from a young man who looked like a college student at most, asking if he had a swollen liver from the very beginning. Besides, isn’t he just a guest? I couldn’t feel better.

“Hey, student. I mean in the first place. Do I look like someone who would listen to such words now?”

“If you didn’t want to hear these words, shouldn’t you have taken care of your liver? I’m not sick yet… Still, it’s not very good.”

Kang Tae-han said in a voice that did not matter.

At that response, Kim Kwan-ho paused for a moment.

“uh… … ?”

“Is this enough to make you feel it? I’m very tired, but when I wake up, I feel stiff, and I have no appetite. Even if I drink alcohol, I don’t feel good about getting drunk… Isn’t it?”

“Ah yes… you’re right.”

Kim Kwan-ho averted his gaze without realizing it. Judging from the situation, it seems that he misunderstood and got angry alone. In an embarrassed atmosphere, Kim Kwan-ho quietly kept his mouth shut.

‘… for a moment. Haven’t you done anything yet?’

But I remembered it belatedly. That the masseuse was still only making eye contact with her.

How can you tell if your liver is swollen just by looking at your face? Do you mean ultrasound coming out of your eyes?

‘Didn’t you just flirt after throwing dirty words?’

Or is it a scammer who only spreads plausible words?

Kim Kwan-ho’s eyebrows narrowed at the sudden suspicion.

‘Hmm. This is supposed to get rid of toxins accumulated in the liver.’

Meanwhile, thinking about it or not, Kang Tae-han was examining Kim Kwan-ho’s body.

The liver is an organ responsible for detoxification of the body.

Therefore, if the condition of this place is not good, the whole body will be affected. Toxins that have entered the body openly hover around the body, and the toxins cause another problem in the body, resulting in a vicious cycle.

‘If the liver is not good, the internal energy will also become cloudy.’

The problem is that these effects appear very slowly. Furthermore, since the liver is a painless part even when the condition is not good, it is often noticed late.

You would probably guess that this person also has liver problems, but since there are no direct problems or pain yet, it must be left unattended.

“Hey, student.”

Kim Gwan-ho, still unsuspecting, said.

“How did you know I had a bad liver?”

“At this level, you can tell just by looking at it. Even from the outside, you can feel the turbid energy.”

Also. Kang Tae-han’s answer convinced Kim Gwan-ho of his suspicions. Such a stupid answer. It seems plausible at first glance, but anyone can say it.

And how many middle-aged office workers like you have a normal liver? It must be beaten in that way.

‘but. At best, it’s a massage room attached to a sauna, what do you expect?’

What is the turbid aura?

Kim Kwan-ho snorted while burying his face in the bed.

“For example… this place.”

“100 million?!”

But the next moment, Kim Kwan-ho’s thoughts were interrupted.

A point on the right back. It was because the moment Kang Tae-han pressed it with his thumb, a tingling sensation penetrated his entire body.

“The accumulated tableware is eventually leaking out.”

On the other hand, Kang Tae-han, as if it didn’t matter, applied a little more pressure, then withdrew his finger roughly as if he was poking it deeply and pulling it out.

“Huh uh uh… … .”

At that moment, Kim Gwang-ho felt a sensation as if something was emanating from inside his body. It was cool, as if something that had accumulated inside the body, or that had been stagnant for a long time, was coming out.

A sensation that I have never felt before and that is hard to describe.

The terrifying pain was still there, but the cool pleasure of clearing the blockage spread all over the body along the spine.

“Look at this. I only gave the blood a little breather, but doesn’t this turbid energy burst out?”

Kang Tae-han said in a light voice. It was the opposite of Kim Kwan-ho, who had lost his strength and was drooping due to the backlash of the pleasure he had just experienced.

‘What just happened… … ?’

This is not the first time Kim Kwan-ho has received a massage.

Not just once or twice, but quite a few times.

I’ve received massages at various places, from simple massage services in saunas like this one to well-known massage centers. Seeing Kang Tae-han suspiciously for the first time was also an insight gained from experience.

But, it was the first time I felt this way.

Something that had been stagnant in my body all this while… The muddy energy that I had dismissed as plausible nonsense until just now felt like it was really exploding from inside my body.

And it wasn’t just a feeling.

I didn’t notice it when my body was stiff from the intense sensation, but I could definitely feel it now that the stimulation had disappeared and I was loosely relaxed. That my body has become lighter and softer than before.

‘I just applied acupressure once with my fingers… … .’

It’s like martial arts.

does this make sense? If I had heard this from someone else, I would have said it was exaggerated. If the masseuse herself spoke, she would have been dismissed as a con artist.

But now I had to believe it. It’s not different, it’s because it’s a situation that you’re going through yourself.

‘It looks young from the outside… He might be more experienced than I thought.’

Looking at it again, the atmosphere seemed different.

Can you feel the weight? It was a heavy atmosphere that seemed to ooze out dignity, which did not go well with the clean-looking baby face at first glance.

“Hey, teacher, how much… Smack!”

Kim Kwan-ho, who was talking to me indirectly. However, his words were cut off in an instant. Kang Tae-han pointed out the next blood.

“It can hurt a little. If it hurts, say it hurts.”

“Then, will you kill me?”

Kim Gwan-ho, who barely caught his breath, asked.

To his words, Kang Tae-han replied in a calm voice.

“No, but I can point out the blood so that the voice doesn’t come out.”

“… Yes?”

“Farmers.”

“… … .”

A silly joke that would have been overlooked in the first place.

However, Kim Kwan-ho suddenly thought that this person could really do that if he put his mind to it.

* * *

Meanwhile, Nam Woo-hyun, who had originally made a reservation, was waiting for Kim Kwan-ho in the waiting room. After giving up the reserved order, it was ambiguous to go first or wait still, so I was about to get a massage from another masseur and leave first.

‘As expected, the skill is different from Mr. Kang’s… … .’

To be honest, it was not a very satisfactory massage.

Of course, this was also because the comparison target was too high. Originally, he was going to get a massage from Kang Tae-han. If you look at it objectively, you can say that it’s a pretty good massage for a massage shop in a jjimjilbang.

‘I should have received it instead of just conceding… … .’

A brief thought passing through my head. Of course, I didn’t mean it, but Kang Tae-han’s massage was special enough to leave me with deep regret just thinking about it.

‘Ah, he came out.’

At that time, manager Kim Kwan-ho walked out from the inside.

Maybe it was because the massage had just finished, she looked exhausted and drooped slightly. However, her face was bright, and there was a liveliness that wasn’t there until just now.

Kim Kwan-ho, who came out, did not come out right away, but headed towards the front first.

“Hey, I’d like to make a reservation.”

It’s not different, but to make the next reservation. It was a direct indicator that I liked it enough to think about the next visit as soon as it was finished.

“Yes, is there a masseuse you want?”

“That, as Teacher Kang Tae-han… … .”

The front desk clerk took out a small calendar as if he knew that. Most of the days on the calendar were filled with small letters.

“As you can see here, Teacher Kang Tae-han is fully booked. It must be a bit difficult to fit in the date and time you want, will that be okay?”

“ah… okay.”

At the words of the employee, Kim Kwan-ho nodded. It was embarrassing, but I got it. Given the level of the massage I had just received, it was only natural that the reservation was delayed.

“These times… I guess the teacher isn’t there?”

“Ah yes. It is not a day off or time in charge.”

“okay.”

It took a while, but in the end it was Kim Kwan-ho who made a reservation and came out. His expression brightened as he came back.

“Chief Kim, are you here?”

“Ah, Assistant Manager Nam!”

When Nam Woo-hyun got up from his seat, Kim Gwan-ho smiled and waved. His expression was so bright that he seemed like a completely different person from the first impression he had seen.

“Have you been waiting all this time?”

“No, I got it from someone else too.”

Woohyun Nam shook his head and replied. Then he smiled bitterly.

“By the way, did you enjoy the massage?”

“Kuhm… … .”

In fact, it was Kim Kwan-ho who said that he had received quite a few massages before entering, and that his standards were quite high. He coughed shyly.

“that… Certainly, the teacher’s work is excellent.”

Kim Gwan-ho said while slightly avoiding his gaze. It was too satisfying a massage to pretend it wasn’t because of the face.

Although I was a little tired from the intense massage, I felt that my body condition changed dramatically. I would say that the general expression of ‘the energy of the body has become clear’ is a feeling that fits perfectly.

I don’t know if it’s because of my mood, but even walking is light and light, like walking wearing only light linen clothes.

It was a change that made me wonder if he had not received a massage but had been administered some kind of dangerous drug. It was an effect that I couldn’t believe even though I had experienced it.

“I’m glad you were satisfied.”

“It was really good. To the point where I feel sorry for you who gave in.”

It wasn’t just a recommendation, it was a concession to the reservation he had made. I just made a reservation, and it looked like I was waiting for at least a week.

“Ah, no. The general manager’s complexion looked really bad, so I just wanted to help him in this way.”

“haha… This man, he speaks convincingly well.”

“It’s real. I heard that you really liked alcohol, but since you refuse to drink, can I not worry?”

Nam Woo-hyun said with a single smile.

Perhaps it was because Kim Kwan-ho’s condition improved, but the atmosphere of the conversation was definitely much more friendly than when we first met. Because the conversation was coming and going naturally.

“By the way, you must have sweated a bit during the massage, would you like to go to the bath at least once?”

“Well… No, don’t do that and get out of the cage.”

“You mean outside?”

When Nam Woo-hyun asked again, manager Kim Kwan-ho shyly touched the bridge of his nose and paused slightly.

“that… I mean, I’m a little hungry. haha.”

It wasn’t empty words when Kim Kwan-ho initially rejected Nam Woo-hyun’s offer to eat. It was true that I had no appetite and no taste for alcohol lately.

No matter what I eat, it doesn’t taste good, and there’s nothing I want to eat, so it’s hard to decide on a menu. As a result, I often skipped meals altogether.

“After getting a massage, I was hungry like a ghost.”

But now it was different.

Just the thought of eating it right now makes my mouth water. Now, I feel like I could finish a meal with just a bowl of white rice and pickled vegetables.

But right now, there is something else that appeals to me the most.

“There is a restaurant around here that is good at bone hangover soup, so let’s go there and have a bowl each. What do you think?”

Bone hangover soup simmering in an earthen pot.

If you peel off the lean meat sticking to it, and pour a spoonful of rice into the spicy soup… Just thinking about it makes me feel relieved.

“Ayu, that’s good!”

At those words, Assistant Manager Nam Woo-hyun’s expression brightened noticeably. Anyway, he is in the position of doing business with manager Kim Kwan-ho. Considering the fact that he had dismissed eating and drinking just a little while ago, it could be said to be a great improvement.

“I was just about to get the hot soup.”

“Haha, good. Then let’s go right away. Since you introduced a good teacher, let me tell you a good bone hangover soup.”

Kim Kwan-ho led the way with a lighthearted smile, and Nam Woo-hyun followed suit. For some reason, I had a good feeling.
