The Fermo evaluators’ web cloud is where all evaluators use it together. Therefore, reports uploaded here are shared with everyone and can be viewed freely.

“… what’s this?”

“One more 3-star rating went up in a short period of time?”

For this reason, the review of the Liner Hotel, which was uploaded again this time, attracted attention not only from evaluators in Korea, but also from evaluators scattered all over the world.

One-time exceptional evaluation, there can be.

Fermo evaluators are experts in this field in their own right, but that doesn’t mean they can always give a cool and objective evaluation.

Satisfaction may vary depending on the individual’s condition, or it may be specified as an evaluator and receive special services without knowing it.

It is sometimes possible to overestimate a hotel that has been around for less than a year and has never made much headlines before.

However… What if that happens twice in a row?

From then on, the credibility will inevitably increase.

However, the 3-star evaluation report of the Liner Hotel did not stop with those two.

one more and another one more.

Each time other evaluators visited the Liner Hotel, the number of reports rating it 3 stars continued to increase by one.

“It’s been a while since such an evaluation came out.”

“… What kind of place is it?”

Originally, Fermo’s horoscope is difficult to determine at once.

In order to determine a star rating, at least ten evaluators must visit, and the evaluations of the evaluators must agree at least 80%, because it is common for opinions and evaluations to differ.

but… It was just amazing from the point of view of the other evaluators, as the 3-star evaluation continued to pile up so neatly.

Even the evaluation was different in individual parts, but it was unified in the same context in the main stem.

The hotel itself can be a bit obscure.

However, the standard of facilities is very good.

Above all, unique, no, amazing experiences that can be called legendary are waiting for you at the massage parlor here.

To sum up the contents of the report, it roughly looks like this.

Of course, there was one exception among them.

There was one report that rated it as ‘1 star even if you hit it well’.

However, the evaluator did not visit the massage center, so the story about it was completely omitted, and he was beaten by the existing evaluators and booked a revisit.

“… Shall we go and see?”

“At this level of evaluation, this is not work, so I should take a vacation and visit it.”

So, now I’m curious. It attracted attention purely as a tourist, not as the work of a Fermo assessor.

An empty room next to Cheonma Massage.

Unlike before, it wasn’t just an empty space. It wasn’t finished yet, but it was because simple interior work was done, including wallpaper and floors.

And the design was exactly the same as the interior of Cheonma Massage located right next to it.

In fact, it was natural.

It was none other than Kang Tae-han of Cheonma Massage who rented the space and started the construction.

Originally, I had been thinking that it would be nice to expand the store a little from before. Then, just in time, word came that the place had become completely vacant, and Kang Tae-han proceeded with the work that day.

It is now in a roughly finished state.

Now, furniture and facilities are put inside, and it is finished by connecting the hallway without any major construction work.

Meanwhile, in that space, Kang Tae-han was working on a very important task with Chief Hwang… … .

“Hmm… Where are you living right now?”

“I am living in this area. It will take about 20 minutes on foot.”

“okay.”

interview like no other.

Kang Tae-han and Chief Hwang were sitting at a horizontally long table, posing with a sense of weight, and the interviewer sitting in front of them was slightly nervous.

“Do you have any holidays you would like to have?”

“Well… Any day of the week doesn’t matter.”

“It doesn’t matter what day of the week… … .”

Director Hwang continued to ask appropriate questions, nodded at the interviewer’s answers, and wrote them down on a piece of paper. On the other hand, Kang Tae-han did not raise any questions. Just stare at the interviewer.

“Thank you for your time today. We will notify you of the results at a later date.”

“I was really grateful.”

After completing a series of procedures, when Chief Hwang greeted him, the interviewer bowed his head and went outside.

Squeak, and the door closed.

Then Chief Hwang immediately turned his head to the side and asked Kang Tae-han in a curious voice.

“how was it? I guess I’m a bit vague.”

“Me too. The careers I have are colorless.”

It was Director Hwang who constantly asked the interviewer questions.

Actually, the person doing the interview is Kang Tae-han, who was sitting quietly next to him. He was still observing the interviewer’s appearance, and he shook his head slowly.

“If you look at the body, you can say that it looks pretty.”

Traces of the usual actions are left on the body.

Whether it’s the state of the joint or the developed muscles.

Of course, you can’t know everything with just that, but you can still find out the information you need right away.

For example, as a masseuse, are you a person who has been working diligently or a person who has been doing it roughly?

Massage is a job that requires more physical strength than you think.

In fact, it is natural. Even simply kneading the shoulders becomes quite burdensome after about 10 minutes, but having to do it all over the body, even for about an hour, is bound to be tiring.

As a result, even if you don’t like masseuses, you have no choice but to develop arm muscles, and in particular, the strength of your grip is especially strong… … . Compared to the career recorded in the previous interview, the arm muscles were not very developed.

“I don’t know if it was a rookie, but if a person with experience has a body like that, I can’t help but feel a bit reluctant.”

If you’re just starting out, this might be enough. If you are someone who has been working on one for a long time… It’s just that I’ve been doing things roughly, so there’s no choice but to interpret it that way.

“Today there is not much harvest.”

ok!

Director Hwang leaned back on the backrest and stretched. Kang Tae-han smiled at his words and shrugged his shoulders.

“Originally, people are the hardest to find.”

“Yeah, what the heck… … .”

Chief Hwang looked at Kang Tae-han with a sidelong glance and blurted out his backstory. Today is Wednesday. Originally, Kang Tae-han was resting at home.

In other words, it’s like going to work on a holiday.

Then, no matter how much it is your own business, you might be a little tired or dislike it… I didn’t see anything like that.

“Taehan is really great too.”

“why?”

“no. Just like that.”

At Kang Tae-han’s reaction, Chief Hwang burst into laughter and rummaged through the documents for no reason. There were quite a few resumes piled on the desk.

“By the way, it’s fortunate that there are many applications.”

Kang Tae-han, who was looking at the resumes, spoke softly.

At first, I was worried about ‘how many applications will come in’, but it was a useless worry. As soon as the recruitment announcement was posted on the job search site, applications began to pour in.

“It’s worth a lot, what. How common are places like this?”

At that, Chief Hwang replied with a smile.

In this industry, it is impossible not to know the name of Cheonma Massage. First of all, the reaction on social media is frantic, but it was a level where celebrities often came up with verification of visits.

Here, the holiday is guaranteed, the rate is above the industry average, and the settlement is done on time… I’ve never really talked about it, but originally, stories like this spread on their own.

“I’ve asked that before.”

“Is that it?”

“Is it true that we all went to a resort in England together?”

“ah… … .”

As if he remembered, Kang Tae-han scratched the side of his head with an embarrassed expression. Even if it wasn’t him, there were quite a lot more people asking about it than I thought.

I went to a resort in the UK with all the staff.

I don’t know, but it seems that rumors are spreading widely among people in the industry as if it’s a legend.

He said he paid a chartered flight and came and went, he said he met Joo-Wan Kang and Everton players, and he said he didn’t spend much money on himself… same stories.

Personally, what Kang Tae-han felt a bit embarrassed about was that most of the stories were true. Director Hwang added as he spoke to Kang Tae-han, who was quiet.

“Anyway, it’s worth attracting people.”

“Well, I guess so.”

Kang Tae-han nodded his head slowly as if to understand. It was a part that he was aware of that it was a fairly unconventional incident.

* * *

The interview ended after a little more time.

While tidying up the desk, Chief Hwang spoke to Kang Tae-han.

“By the way, what kind of wind blew?”

“What?”

“It’s Taehan. What should I say, a little… Unlike usual, I am actively pushing forward with my work. Should I do it?”

Secure the next vacant room to expand the store and further increase the number of masseuses. The story itself has been around for a long time, but it is also true that it is not urgent right now.

And Kang Tae-han is the type who doesn’t feel impatient and proceeds with the work according to the timing. That’s why I thought it would be a little bit of a step-by-step process… It went much faster than expected.

“It’s hard for me to say exactly what… … .”

Kang Tae-han thought for a moment, then tilted his head slightly and opened his mouth.

“I just have a little gut feeling.”

“intuition?”

“Do you think there will be more guests in the future?”

“What a surprise. It has been like that for a long time.”

Cheonma Massage has been steadily drawing upwards from right after opening until now. It is normal for the number of guests to increase. However, Kang Tae-han shook his head softly at Chief Hwang’s words.

“It’s not just some… Should I say it’s growing? I wonder if there will be an opportunity in the near future.”

An instinctive intuition that suddenly felt at some point.

Kang Tae-han himself couldn’t explain it well, but there were times when he felt this way. And this kind of intuition has been consistent since I was at Moorim.

“If it’s an opportunity, is it even possible to get three Michelin stars?”

“… Does Michelin give stars to massage parlors?”

“No, I was just giving an example.”

Director Hwang threw a joke lightly. However, at Kang Tae-han’s serious reaction, he scratched his head with an embarrassed expression.

It was about then.

“Is this the Cheonma Massage?”

The door opened, and a man who looked to be in his fifties came inside. For some reason, it was a face I felt like I had seen somewhere.

“Um, not yet.”

“… Yes?”

Hwang, thinking about what to say, hinted at it. Sure enough, when a puzzled response came out, he immediately shook his hand as if correcting himself and pointed to the side.

“it’s nothing. Cheonma Massage is over there.”

“Is that so. Excuse me.”

A man who gave a light eye greeting and turned around.

At that time, Kang Tae-han, who had been staring at him with a strange sense of deja vu, carefully opened his mouth.

“Are you Seonghyun’s father, by any chance?”

“… Could it be Taehan?”

Two people recognizing each other and looking back.

Before long, a happy expression appeared on the man’s face.

“Hey, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you! How much is this?”

“haha… I do not know.”

Kang Tae-han really didn’t know

Because it was at least sixty years ago. The only memory that remains is of greeting Seonghyeon and I when we enlisted together.

“It seems like the last time I saw you when I enlisted.”

Surprisingly, my memory was correct.

Kang Tae-han burst into admiration and quietly spoke to Choi Seong-hyeon’s father.

“By the way, are you doing something?”

Choi Seong-hyeon and Kang Tae-han were from the same Daejeon, so if he hadn’t moved away, Seong-hyeon Choi’s father would also be living in Daejeon.

If such a person came all the way to Seoul, there must be something important going on. Of course, he could have just come to get a massage, but… In many ways, it wasn’t like that.

“that is great. Did you say you work here too?”

“Yes. For now, it is.”

“I can’t speak at all with Seonghyeon. I came here to have a private talk with the boss. Who is the boss here?”

Kang Tae-han looked at Chief Hwang for a moment.

Chief Hwang looked at me with an interested expression, then shrugged lightly. The response was that he did not know anything.

In the end, Kang Tae-han opened his mouth with a shy expression.

“I am the boss.”

“okay? no… What?”

Seong-Hyeon Choi’s father, who suddenly showed signs of bewilderment.

He looked at Kang Tae-han with doubtful eyes, and Kang Tae-han nodded slowly, as if to confirm that ‘what he just heard is correct’.

“that… What… … .”

He stuttered for a moment.

Feeling unsure of what to say. Then, at least the right words came to mind, and I slowly opened my mouth.

“… You have succeeded.”

“haha… thank you.”

An awkward atmosphere for some reason.

Next to him, Chief Hwang was quietly tidying up his desk.
