“uh… Fermo guide 3 stars?”

I don’t know the details, but Chae Eun-bi knows roughly that it’s very difficult to receive.

Even if you are not in the lodging industry, the nature of a professional golfer means staying in a foreign country for a long time and visiting various hotels.

As far as she knows, if Fermo is 3 stars… As far as I know, these are hotels of that level that are always crowded like a Michelin 3-star restaurant, and you cannot stay without a reservation even during the off-season.

‘But wasn’t that only given to hotels?’

I’m not questioning the rating. If it was Taehan oppa’s skill, even if I gave it 5 stars instead of 3, it would not be enough.

However, it was only natural that a masseuse was listed in the guide for hotels only, so it was natural to be a bit puzzled.

“This time, the SNS posted by Joo-Wan Kang and Godwin in the Premier League became a hot topic, and Eun-bi Chae was also a regular there.”

“SNS?”

“Oh, did you not know?”

“haha… These days, I only focus on preparing for the competition.”

At the reporter’s words, Chae Eun-bi shrugged her shoulders with a shy expression. It was a strange feeling.

The story of the Fermo guide was like that too, but… The story of Cheonma Massage came out of the mouth of a stranger, as if he knew it better than he did, so it felt very strange.

‘I’m glad that Taehan oppa is doing well, but… … .’

Still, it’s complicated and subtle because there’s no emotion that I thought of.

‘Ah, but only a week later I become famous!’

Of course, no one had ever asked for publicity, and it was a moment of reciprocation that she had been thinking about by herself, but it was Chae Eun-bi who secretly stamped her feet with a strangely regretful feeling.

“Hmm… … .”

Cheonma Massage in the early evening.

Kang Tae-han, who was examining the condition of the guest lying on the bed in the massage parlor, drool in a concentrated manner for a moment, then nodded with the corner of his mouth slightly raised.

“It has improved so much.”

The guest lying on the bed is none other than Aram Choi.

Hearing Kang Tae-han’s smiling voice, she cautiously stood up and looked behind her.

“Are there any problems?”

“Yes. It’s definitely worth the effort.”

At those words, Choi Ah-ram let out a shy laugh.

Until a month ago, she was paralyzed from the lower half of her body and could not get up on her own. A weightlifting gold medalist at the last Olympics and a muscular sports star, there was nothing to be said for that.

They can’t even feel, let alone walk on their own feet. Originally, it was designated as a candidate for this Olympics, but I can’t even lift the barbell properly.

In fact, a situation where his life was turned upside down.

The fact that she was able to rise again… It was all thanks to Kang Tae-han. Should I say that hope is literally revived? It was truly a benefactor.

“It’s all thanks to the teacher.”

“I just paved the way.”

However, Kang Tae-han shook his head at her words.

“The fact that he has recovered so quickly is the result of Mr. Aram’s hard work. Just looking at your physical condition like this shows how much effort you put in.”

“haha… is that so.”

Aram Choi laughed awkwardly while lying face down.

I think I’m used to compliments, but when Kang Tae-han says here, it’s Choi A-ram who feels strangely embarrassed.

It’s the feeling of being acknowledged by someone at a slightly higher level than yourself, or the feeling of being praised by a great senior… Kang Tae-han wasn’t particularly an athlete, but it was a strange phenomenon.

“Your sister seems to have improved a lot these days.”

“Oh, my sister?”

“Yes, Mr. Boram. Every time I visit you every week, you’re building muscles that weren’t there.”

When Kang Tae-han mentioned her sister’s name, A-ram Choi smiled and said, It was a reaction as if he was eager to brag.

“My sister is working really hard. Even though I was told to exercise like that, she didn’t do it… These days, whenever I go to the gym, he goes out with me.”

“Somehow, the appearance of muscles attaching is quite systematic, so it seems that Mr. Aram gave some guidance from the side.”

“yes. After all, when someone who doesn’t normally use their body starts exercising, they are bound to be unfamiliar in many ways.”

Aram Choi smiled as she remembered her older sister.

Her older sister Boram Choi had suffered from paraplegia long before her. However, she was also slowly showing improvement in her symptoms, and even though it was impossible to walk on two feet, it was possible to move her legs.

Something I could never have imagined before.

Perhaps because of this tangible result, she was also participating in rehabilitation training with a taste for recent exercise.

‘… ha. I’ve been given too many, really.’

In fact, it is as if the two sisters were saved. It’s almost like a miracle… It’s enough to believe in the savior of any suspicious religion.

However, because of that, Choi Ah-ram felt a little embarrassed. The reason why she came here today was not only to check on her body condition, but also because she had another business.

‘What shame do you ask me again here… … .’

The business was none other than a story related to the Olympic national team. It was something I had been asked to do by team leader Woo Dae-seok, whom I met last time.

Some of the national team players are suffering from aftereffects due to a sudden traffic accident, which has a great impact on training and condition management.

Choi A-ram himself was an athlete and once participated in the Olympics, so I could fully understand how serious the situation was, and felt sorry for him.

So, on the spot, I willingly said, ‘I will introduce you to a masseuse’… … .

As soon as I said it, I felt a bit guilty. It was because he had already received too many things from Kang Tae-han.

Of course, I paid money every time I got a massage, but even if that was not enough, it was still not enough. It’s literally like receiving a favor that can’t be repaid.

But in the meantime, I have to ask you again.

Not only did he have no face, but Choi Ah-ram himself gave when he gave in his life, and he was even more reluctant because he had never said anything regretful about it.

“Mr. Aram.”

Maybe it’s because it’s been too long.

“yes?”

“Don’t you have something else to say?”

Kang Tae-han spoke to her first, as his face was openly stained. In an instant, a look of bewilderment passed across Aram Choi’s face.

“No, that… It’s nothing else.”

What should I say?

There was something I had in mind when I first entered the store, but I couldn’t think of it because I was embarrassed. She opened her mouth in an awkward voice.

“Perhaps… Which team do you cheer for when you watch the Olympics?”

“yes? The Olympics?”

Kang Tae-han asks a random question without even realizing it.

The answer was, of course, fixed.

“Yeah, what… You will cheer for the Korean team, right?”

If you are a Korean, wouldn’t it be natural for you to cheer for the Korean team? Of course, there may be exceptions, but at least it was not applicable to Kang Tae-han.

“Ahaha… No, that’s not what I mean… I’ve had some problems with the national team this time, and I was wondering if the teacher could help me.”

Even if he thought about it, he brought up a strange question, but it is Choi A-ram who naturally brings up the main topic afterward, perhaps thanks to the nonsense he brought up once.

“Hmm… … .”

At her words, Kang Tae-han was lost in thought for a moment.

Actually, Taehan Kang has been quite busy for the past few days. It’s because my name went up on Fermo Guide or something, and there were many things to do.

“Let’s listen to the story first.”

However, there is no need to suppress your own curiosity. It’s a national team. Kang Tae-han replied with an interested face and waited for Choi A-ram’s next story.

* * *

“Whoa… … .”

While looking at the target, I took one long breath.

In that state, the mind calms down. It is enough strength to hold the bow and pull the string. Rather, with the exhalation, the force that has entered the body more than necessary is slowly removed from the body.

When you feel that you have cleared your mind and body like that and your body has become lighter, quietly check your surroundings. If the wind blows, feel the wind blowing, and if it is still, feel the calm air while standing still.

Once you’ve completed this, you’re ready to shoot the bow.

It looks quite complicated at first glance, but once you get used to it, it’s not so difficult that it can be done in a few seconds depending on the condition.

‘… ha.’

However, in the not-too-difficult process, she was stuck for several minutes.

The right leg, which has to support the body so that it does not shake while concentrating, literally serves as a reliable cornerstone to hold the center.

The power that went into this place is seldom lost.

No, it’s not just that I don’t lose strength, I can even feel the slight throbbing pain. It was the part where the aftereffects of the last accident remained.

At least this was a good thing.

As the condition continued for a long time, the legs, which had been overly stiff, began to tremble. In the end, she trudged toward the bench, taking out the arrow she had hung on the string.

“Is it the same this time?”

“yes.”

Jeong Ga-in, a South Korean archer who has risen to the national team with her overwhelming skills. As if there was no need for a long answer, she gave a brief nod and a concise nod.

“… okay. It seemed like that.”

Really no need for a long answer.

Coach Kim looked down at her legs and answered in a low voice. Legs that looked solid without flab, the muscles were trembling to the point of being colorless.

“I will rest a little.”

Jeong Ga-in said that in a calm tone and began to massage her right leg. He said so, but the twitching of his eyebrows from time to time, the throbbing pain seemed to have gotten quite a bit worse.

“What did you say at the hospital today?”

“It was the same as usual.”

“… Didn’t you do anything else?”

Jeong Ga-in nodded her head instead of answering. In response to her response, Coach Kim let out a small sigh and began writing down something on the paper he was holding.

‘Maybe it’s difficult.’

When he heard the news of the last quadruple collision, Coach Kim could still breathe a sigh of relief.

The scale of the accident was so large that even the worst case was imagined, but fortunately, no one was seriously injured.

However, it seems that it was too soon to be relieved there.

There was no external trauma, but invisible aftereffects remained and had a great impact on the players.

The same was true for archers.

One player has blurry vision when he concentrates for a long time, and another struggles to sleep every night complaining of tightness in his chest.

And this originally promising player, Jeong Ga-in, has become a situation where he can’t even properly prepare. It’s because one leg is too stiff when you concentrate.

Of course, it’s possible to just shoot an arrow, but… … .

What does that mean? Shooting an arrow is possible for anyone as long as they have the strength. If you can’t focus properly and hit it, it’s meaningless.

‘It doesn’t seem like there’s anything the hospital can do about it… … .’

Here, in Jincheon Athletes Village, where the national athletes are gathered, there is a hospital for athletes.

Well, it may not be the best medical team in Korea, but it is a medical team composed of people with deep knowledge in sports medicine as much as they target athletes.

However, even there, no prescription was given.

No matter how many times I check up and take pictures, the only word that comes out is ‘It seems that the aftereffects of the traffic accident remain in my muscles’. It means virtually unknown symptoms.

Of course, the diagnosis here could be wrong.

That’s why I went to another hospital in Seoul today. Was it the most famous place in this field? However, this time, it seems that there was no significant result.

“At this point, I have no choice but to rely on natural treatment… … .”

natural treatment. Literally waiting for the body to recover on its own. In fact, it is said that these unknown aftereffects often recover naturally over time.

I would say it’s a time-dependent treatment.

Just in case you have a problem… They were the Olympic national team, and there was not much time left until the Olympics.
