“… Why are you so condescending?”

Just listening to it makes me feel a bit suspicious.

If someone else had said this, they would have thought that they might be recommending a strange religion or multi-level.

However, the Jo Chan-hyeok that Hwang Ji-woon knows is far from such a thing, so rather than raising doubts, expectations are raised. What is it that makes you say such a grandiose thing and spend so much time on it?

“Are you curious?”

“No, what… I’ll let you know, but you don’t have to refuse.”

Hwang Ji-woon showed a cold reaction on the outside.

Even so, the slight reaction from his eyes shows that he is looking forward to it in his heart. Seeing this, Cho Chan-hyuk smiled and said.

“Anma.”

“… Aren’t you?”

A look of disappointment appeared on Hwang Ji-woon’s face.

I thought something great or unusual would come out, but massage. Maybe it was because I had high expectations for no reason, but Hwang Ji-woon’s shoulders, which had been raised slightly, went down again.

“Well, it’s nice not to have a massage. I have had it often before.”

I replied with appropriate words, but I could see that the tension was much lower than before.

Of course, getting a massage is nice. It has the effect of restoring the physical condition, and if you receive it from a skilled person, the fatigue that lasts for at least a week may disappear in a few hours.

However, in other words, it is difficult to expect any more effects than that. And now, with just that much effect, he couldn’t help himself.

With that alone, it was impossible to recover my legs in time and to appear in the lead role in this performance. What he needed now was a so-called miracle that could make the impossible possible.

“You are a bit disappointed right now.”

“… To be honest, a little bit.”

Hwang Ji-woon answers honestly without hiding it. However, Cho Chan-hyuk made an expression as if he knew that.

“Just listen. If it was just a massage, I wouldn’t recommend it in the first place, would I?”

… That too.

Although still a bit unreliable, Hwang Ji-woon nodded slowly at Cho Chan-hyuk’s words.

“As you said earlier, I used to have severe migraines. Once it exploded, I couldn’t even film it.”

“I had a lot of trouble.”

“at that time… When I was filming Blemishion, I once had a migraine and panic disorder in the middle of the street, so a lot of fans came and brought it.”

Cho Chan-hyeok recalled that time and said in a low voice as if muttering. It was such a terrible memory that I felt slightly dizzy just thinking about it.

“… I saw it as an article.”

“That was the first time I saw you.”

My head hurts like it would break, and my heart thumps.

At that time, when I thought I would lose my consciousness at any moment.

There was something that made my head clear and calm, like cool spring water flowing in. When I came to my senses belatedly, Teacher Kang was sitting next to me on one knee.

“Originally, there is a feeling right before consciousness is cut off, but that feeling came. So I was about to give up… Suddenly, my mind is clear.”

“… … .”

“I thought it was almost a life saver, but the teacher just left as if it was nothing special. therefore… … .”

Cho Chan-hyeok, who continued to talk, and Hwang Ji-woon, who were quietly listening to the story. He held out his hand for a moment to interrupt the conversation, then opened his mouth cautiously.

“… Aren’t we talking about some martial arts novel?”

“I didn’t say anything like that, it’s a true story that happened to me.”

Cho Chan-hyeok nodded with a natural expression.

However, Hwang Ji-woon was looking at him with an ambiguous expression. First of all, I said martial arts novels, but a little more than that… The pseudo-solicitation, that feeling was even stronger.

If you drink only this water, everything will be healed.

It is said that an incurable disease was cured by the teacher’s touch.

Isn’t that just how it feels?

‘But I’m a little curious… … .’

However, it is not someone else, but Cho Chan-hyeok. I had the image and trust I had built up, so I didn’t feel like dismissing it as just that.

“Well, I said it myself, but from the point of view of just listening, it can feel a bit suspicious.”

Cho Chan-hyeok scratched his head with an embarrassed face.

But what can I do, that it is a true story and the truth.

In fact, he has never had a migraine since. Even though it was a chronic disease, the cause of which was said to be unknown even after visiting all kinds of hospitals.

“I thought I’d make a big deal out of what I had reserved… There’s nothing you can do if you’re not interested. If you don’t like peace and gratitude, I can’t force you to do it.”

Hwang Ji-woon, who was lost in thought for a moment, asked insinuatingly.

“why? Is it difficult to make a reservation in the first place?”

“There are so many people. In particular, it goes without saying about the Cheonma Course, which is directly watched by the teacher.”

Cho Chan-hyeok pretended to count with his fingers and spoke in a high-pitched voice.

“I make a reservation right away as soon as I get out every time and go back… If there is no accidental cancellation, it will take about three to four weeks.”

“Hmm, how many students do you think that teacher doesn’t take a day?”

“no. You seem to be working full time every day.”

“… But what does that mean?”

At Cho Chan-hyeok’s words, Hwang Ji-woon’s worries deepened.

It is said that it is difficult to receive even if it is not now.

There is no word that stirs people’s hearts as much as that. Seeing Hwang Ji-woon lost in thought, Cho Chan-hyeok smiled and opened his mouth as if driving a wedge.

“So, are you going to take it or not? If I don’t get it, I just go get it, and I get one once a month.”

“… I’ll take it.”

“Go ahead.”

A decision that comes with a single haste.

When the effectiveness of a good thing reaches an unbelievable level, it becomes rather difficult to recommend it. With that thought in mind, Cho Chan-hyeok sent a schedule to Hwang Ji-woon on his smartphone.

“I’ll keep in touch, so you can visit me that day.”

“… Thanks bro.”

“Maybe if you get a massage and come out, you’ll be more grateful?”

Jo Chan-hyeok smiles at Hwang Ji-woon’s words.

Then, Cho Chan-hyeok slightly frowned at the fact that he remembered belatedly.

“… But when will my coffee be served?”

“What did you do?”

“Ice americano.”

“… Maybe the bell is broken?”

After a while, Cho Chan-hyeok returned to the table with a cup of Americano and a piece of cheesecake with the ice already melted. The cheesecake was a token of apology for the broken bell.

“How are you? Teacher.”

Cheonma Massage is located on the 20th floor of the Liner Building.

Jang Tae-hyun, who was lying on the bed in the massage room, asked in a strange voice, half confident and half worried.

“Hmm… … .”

And Kang Tae-han putting his finger on Jang Tae-hyun’s neck. He swallowed softly, then withdrew his breath and removed his fingers.

“It’s definitely improved.”

Then, in a calm voice, he said the results of his confirmation.

“I think I will be able to fully recover soon.”

“… Is that true?”

“Yes.”

A short, firm answer as if there was no doubt. At those words, Jang Tae-hyun even clenched his fists and showed a delighted reaction.

‘Finally goodbye to the sickest hair loss!’

A conversation between two people in a rather serious atmosphere. The conversation was none other than the story of Jang Tae-hyun’s alopecia areata.

Jang Tae-hyun had to wear a wig after his father’s succession to the chairman’s chair, and his alopecia areata, which was originally a small patch of hair, grew bigger and bigger.

Now, even if I don’t have to wear a wig, or even pull out other hair to cover it up, it doesn’t really show that way. That’s how densely new hairs grew out. And with thick, tough bristles!

‘It’s rare to see such a rapid recovery… … . It seems that all the hard work you put in is finally paying off. All you have to do now is be careful of recurrence.’

The doctor who usually examined him also said that he was virtually cured. After listening to Kang Tae-han’s words, Jang Tae-hyun could feel that he had truly come out of the swamp of hair loss.

“… Thank you very much, sir.”

After spending a while of thrilling time.

Jang Tae-hyun slightly raised his body from lying down and thanked Kang Tae-han.

“I haven’t even started a massage yet.”

“Thank you for relieving me of a long worry.”

A rather serious voice. Kang Tae-han had a shy expression on his face, but it wasn’t that he couldn’t understand his feelings.

Even in Murim, hair loss existed, and I have seen cases where anxiety caused by it interfered with training or even fell into a state of mind.

“Actually, there are many things to be thankful for. Both personally and in business… … .”

Not only circular hair loss, but also the massage chair, and the very first thing, helping my father who collapsed due to sudden health deterioration… … .

“I don’t know how to thank you. Is there anything else you need?”

“Well, I don’t really care, but… … .”

Kang Tae-han scratched the side of his head, deep in thought.

I didn’t have a clue, but there was one thing that came to mind.

“Um, come to think of it, my father said that it would be nice to have a massage chair.”

“You mean the massage chair?”

Taehyung Jang tilted his head. It was because I had memories of receiving reports of contradictory content the other day.

“Last time, the company tried to send me some, but my father refused… … .”

“Are you my father?”

“Yes.”

This time, Taehan Kang tilted his head.

My father isn’t the kind of person who would reject a present.

Even when we go to the mart together, if there is a tasting corner, we try it once, and if there is a free gift, we bring it.

“There may be some misunderstanding.”

“okay… … .”

The two nodded slowly.

In particular, the name of the person in charge, Kim Mi-young, kept flashing in Jang Tae-hyun’s mind.

“by the way.”

In the meantime.

Kang Tae-han, who sneakily checked the time, approached Jang Tae-hyun and put his hand on his back. Its natural movement, like flowing water, even Jang Tae-hyun, who was next to him, noticed it belatedly.

“Let’s start slowly.”

“Yes… Wow!”

Acupressure that goes in right before the mind is ready. This was the third time he received a massage, but Jang Tae-hyun let out a short, thick scream at this stimulation, which seemed unfamiliar to him.

‘Something seems to be stronger than before… … .’

Not only that, but I also felt a little sicker than usual.

And it didn’t feel wrong.

“The time went down a bit as we talked, but… Don’t worry, as long as you control it, it’s enough.”

The power to pierce blood.

The speed of the hand that points out everywhere.

It feels like twice as much as usual.

“Aww!”

However, the stimulation Jang Tae-hyun feels is several times the usual! In response to the stimulus that seemed to involve squares rather than multiplication, Taehyung unconsciously bit his lower lip.

“The body care side is really cruising… … .”

A franchise cafe near Yeouido Park.

There, in a corner seat by the window, Secretary Choi was looking through the documents on the tablet PC and sorting out the contents.

He is the secretary of Jang Tae-hyeon, chairman of Daecheong Group.

He was a person who could be called an aide of his own, taking charge of everything from the most basic schedule adjustment and schedule coordination to temporary security, and simple document sorting and organization.

‘It doesn’t look like there’s anything particularly urgent on the other side.’

Currently, Daechung Group was showing smooth growth as a whole. It’s not noticeable, it’s just passable, but it’s not stagnant either.

Not too long ago, the body care business was declining in performance and was actually in the red, but that has long since been turned upside down with the success of this new product.

It’s not just a level of getting out of the deficit, it’s a level that really causes a craze. Thanks to that, not to mention body care, stock prices of other companies in the group were also slowly drawing an upward trend.

“… It certainly wasn’t a joke.”

Recalling the experience of using ‘The Meister’, a new product from Body Care, Secretary Choi nodded with an expression that he deserved it.

It definitely feels different from the existing massage chairs.

Even when the chairman first recommended Mr. Kang as a technical advisor, I thought, ‘No matter how much this is a bit excessive,’ but after experiencing it myself, my thoughts have completely changed.

Thinking about how it would feel to receive this directly from the person in charge, I immediately put in a reservation inquiry on Cheonma Massage.

‘Anyway, something the president should pay special attention to… … .’

I guess this is it.

As I scrolled up, a fairly long document appeared. This is a report from Daecheong Construction.

It was nothing other than a report related to the large oil refining platform order being carried out by Elephant Industries in India.

A large project where hundreds of billions of units come and go at one time.

However, it was a project that I thought was almost hopeless because the competing candidates were also outstanding and I didn’t have any particular connections.

Somehow, this time it was not at the executive level, but the group’s chairman, Tarbin Marchesi, said he was coming to visit him, so he was gasping for preparation.

Marchesi is a person who is known to occasionally engage in eccentricities depending on his mood.

Coming to Korea suddenly could be one of those eccentricities, but it was clear that this could be a good opportunity.

Thanks to body care, group affiliates are trending upward as a whole. If you can win this project here, wouldn’t it be a good thing among good things?

‘So for now… Well?’

While I was organizing related documents.

Seeing a face through the window, Secretary Choi took out his smartphone and started searching for something.

What I found by searching was the face of Tarvin Marchesi.

And what was visible from the outside was the face of Tarvin Marchesi.

“… what?”

I look around and check my smartphone from time to time.

I feel a bit unsure of my steps.

It is a characteristic of a typical lost person.

‘Where do you leave the attendants? No, it’s still a long time until the scheduled date of entry in the first place?’

Then, suddenly, something popped into his mind.

eccentricity.

Any situation can be described with this one word.

‘… No, that’s not what’s important.’

What matters is that a very valuable client appears to be in trouble. Secretary Choi hurriedly packed his things and left the cafe.
