‘I’d like to have it repaired once.’

One day when he visited the car center because of a problem with his car, Dong-chan suddenly thought while looking at his car after it had been serviced.

Replaced the parts that had problems, put new engine oil in while I stopped by, and finished the car wash neatly with hand washing.

It was a sedan that had already been selected for more than five years, but from that moment on, both inside and outside were as clean as a newly picked car.

How great would it be if people could be like this?

At that time, Lee Dong-chan sincerely hoped that.

His job is a programmer. I work for a game company.

The salary is not bad, but overtime work continues every day, and on days when there is a problem with the server, I repeat my daily routine of not being able to return home.

Did you say that each and every undying light of the city is evidence of someone’s life?

Each and every light in the company that does not turn off is proof that someone is working overtime. The appearance of a company that does not turn off every night is truly a lighthouse. Now, we eat more at work than we do at home.

As a result, naturally, the body is broken and the body is heavy. Even if you wake up after sleeping, you are not refreshed, and even if you eat health food that is good for your body, you will only be full of energy.

If this is the case, I want to get maintenance like a car. I want to feel like something new.

However, a wish is a wish because it cannot come true. That’s why it was only Lee Dong-chan’s delusion… until just a few days ago.

‘Is this possible?’

He was getting a massage with his face buried in a hole in the bed. The suspicious name of the Artisan Special Course. It was a reservation made by my wife, saying, ‘This place is so magical’.

crazy? Is that word suitable for massage?

I started with a light heart with such a question.

“Keuk uh uh… … .”

“Are you sick?”

“no… so good… … .”

Now he was groaning with pleasure. For the pleasure called coolness.

‘It feels like my body is being remodeled… … .’

I’ve never had a massage before. However, it was clear at once that this skill was not of the general level.

For example, the acupoint on the back that is being acupressure now.

Even though I’m just holding down with my two thumbs, my whole body doesn’t move. You can feel the muscles in your whole body relaxing.

The muscles that were so loosely relaxed.

“Kkeuheo up.”

This time, with a strong grip, knead it with both hands as if kneading dough.

Duduk, duduk, poudeuk.

“This kind of sound can be heard in a place like this,” echoes everywhere. The pain of grabbing and twisting your body sweeps through your body as the masseuse touches you.

However, the pain is short-lived. After the pain passes.

Like wind blowing through an empty space, you can feel vitality permeating between the squeezed muscles. Just like a sponge that has been drained of water absorbs clean water.

“You sit in a chair for a long time and do some work.”

“Yes, because I have been working with computers for a long time. Are you feeling very unwell?”

“No, you are good enough. At least my body energy is on the clear side.”

Alright, that’s it.

The masseuse, Kang Tae-han, said that and patted him on the back. Mysteriously, the moment the back was tapped, it felt like strength returned to the loose body.

“Oh, has thirty minutes already passed?”

Lee Dong-chan checked his watch with a puzzled expression. I thought it was about 10 minutes, but actually it was just 30 minutes, no more, no less.

‘I’m sorry for something… … .’

As far as he knows, all that’s left is an hour of ‘sleep to recover from fatigue.’ It’s probably something like a steam bath to sleep on. To be honest, I didn’t have high expectations for this part, so I was left with a deeper regret.

“Then, how well will you sleep?”

“… yes?”

Lee Dong-chan asked without realizing it. It was because Kang Tae-han’s tone sounded as if he could set how well he would sleep.

“It could be that you have an appointment on the way and need to leave, or you have an urgent call.”

“Well… There is no such thing.”

“Good.”

At that moment, Kang Tae-han’s hand disappeared with a swish.

At the same time, an intense tingling sensation felt in both shoulders. The feeling that the power of the whole body is instantly hooked.

“Then get some rest.”

Lee Dong-chan’s memory ended there.

* * *

“Taehan, you worked hard.”

When Kang Tae-han finished his work and went outside, Manager Hwang at the counter greeted him by holding out a can of coffee.

“A guest?”

“You are sleeping.”

Kang Tae-han answered in a light voice and opened the lid of the coffee can. There was a short, cheerful sound.

About three days after the start of the artisanal special course.

Although there were some concerns, the introduction of the new service was a success like a lie. Well, it was only natural that the reservations were filled even before the start.

“How do you think the guests react?”

Kang Tae-han asked while bringing the canned coffee to his lips.

“Doesn’t Taehan know better?”

“Hmm, it seems like it’s just like usual, but for some reason, the customers have a feeling that it’s difficult for me.”

In particular, after the massage, the customer’s tone of voice changes into a respectful one. Even if there is some dissatisfaction, it is not an atmosphere that does not seem to be openly talked about.

“It’s ambiguous to say something… I wish I was better than before, but I don’t feel like I’m getting worse? To be honest, I was a little worried too, but it was surprising.”

The artisanal special course is divided into 30-minute and 1-hour courses, but Kang Tae-han decided to only do the 30-minute course. It was because of Kang Tae-han’s strong assertion that ‘more than that is rather excessive’.

And the suggestion that it would be better to have a recovery period with a maximum of an hour of sleep after that.

To be honest, I didn’t think it was such a good idea.

This is because most of the customers prefer to take an hour long rather than a short 30 minutes, and most of the customers who actually visit Kang Tae-han have received an hour.

However, since the planning of this special course itself was centered on Kang Tae-han, it was only actively accepted.

But now it has been proven that all those concerns were futile.

“That’s fortunate.”

Kang Tae-han smiled softly. He liked the new special course much better.

In fact, I used to think that an hour was a bit of a waste of time. It was enough to solve the problem parts in ten minutes at the shortest, twenty minutes at the longest, and after that, I just filled the time with a normal massage.

The one-hour course was twice as long as the 30-minute course, but the actual effects were similar.

In that case, wouldn’t it be much more efficient to concentrate hard and do only a 30-minute course? That was Kang Tae-han’s idea, and luckily the guests seemed to be satisfied with it.

“Especially, everyone said they had a good night’s sleep.”

“okay?”

“You said you wanted to say thank you?”

Kang Tae-han smiled and nodded at Director Hwang’s words.

Massage is, after all, the exercise of physical force on the body.

No matter how skillful a massage is, in the end, a certain amount of impact is bound to be applied. This is especially the case when, like Kang Tae-han, he touches the inside of the muscle to the blood.

Therefore, in order to maximize the effect of massage, a certain amount of recovery period is required. It is to give the body time to recover and adapt to the damage that has occurred in various parts of the body.

The best of these is, of course, deep sleep.

And Kang Tae-han was able to provide appropriate help here. A blood transfusion that puts the opponent to sleep. If you apply this a little bit, you can make it go straight to sleep without even dreaming.

It’s light, so it doesn’t take long to fall asleep.

A good night’s sleep for just one hour. That’s enough time to finish recovering and rejuvenate.

Thanks to this, Kang Tae-han is able to massage more aggressively. There is a recovery period, so it doesn’t matter if you release your muscles a little more drastically than usual.

In addition, there is another advantage that cannot be overlooked here.

“Hey, thanks to Taehan, did sales go up?”

Of course, the financial part jumped up too. Director Hwang glanced at the monitor screen and smiled broadly.

Although it was changed to a special course, the number of customers has not decreased, so sales have already jumped.

The best choice to increase the efficiency of massage and sales.

Sales were not what I intended, but there is nothing bad about Kang Tae-han. From Hwang’s point of view, it goes without saying.

“Hehe, it’s really a blessing that came rolling in, really.”

“Did I say I would do a good job? What would have happened if you hadn’t listened to me and accepted it.”

Seonghyun Choi, who was just passing by, interrupted.

Recently, the number of customers themselves has increased, so the other masseuses have become much busier than before. If you add a little exaggeration, it’s almost twice as much.

“Yes, ma’am. Thanks to you too, Seonghyeon-ah.”

“Then, how about sweet and sour pork for lunch later?”

“Sweet and sour pork? When did I not do it? If you want something to eat, order it!”

Two people with pleasant voices. Kang Tae-han smiled and watched the scene before sneaking into the waiting room.

“… Ugh!”

Lee Dong-chan opened his eyes while lying down.

It was a strange dream. It was a dream of directing something that could only come out of a cartoon where the masseuse teacher stabbed his shoulder and suddenly lost consciousness.

“Isn’t this a dream… Well?”

Lee Dong-chan gets up from his seat. But, the feeling is something different. It felt like taking off a sandbag I was wearing, as if engine oil had been applied between my bones.

Even after thinking it over, he thought it was nonsense, but this was the only metaphor that came to his mind.

‘The body is very light.’

Is that all? The mind is also clear. It feels like a disk defragmentation that has been piled up on the hard drive for a long time. I didn’t know what it meant to be confused, but now I know for sure.

“It looks like I pressed the reset button… uh?”

One more surprise remained. Lee Dong-chan, who took out his smartphone, hesitated for a moment. I thought I was asleep for a while, but an hour had already passed.

A deep sleep without a dream, as if dead.

The time that Lee Dong-chan felt was ten minutes at most.

I have never experienced such a dense sleep even in the military. Lee Dong-chan felt possessed by a ghost.

“Are you awake?”

Then someone came inside with a tray. She was an employee at a massage shop.

“Yes, just.”

“Please take a break and have a cup of tea here.”

He left the tray on the table and went out again. A cup of hot tea and two pieces of sweets are on the tray. Lee Dong-chan sat there blankly for a while before raising his teacup.

“… … !”

The warm moisture in your mouth permeates your whole body. It’s because you sweat more than you think while you’re sleeping. A sip of warm moisture spreading all over the body was truly a special feeling.

‘This… It’s the best.’

Warm warmth that permeates. Vitality overflowing throughout the body. Lighter muscles and smoother joints.

Truly satisfied. How can I get better from here? It is the extreme satisfaction that there is not even regret.

Whoa. Lee Dong-chan exhaled a deep breath filled with overflowing satisfaction.

Anyone can fix it too.

At least it is possible here. Recalling the time when he was envious of a car that had been serviced not too long ago, Lee Dong-chan smiled a little.
