“… exactly.”

Jeong Ga-in in the massage parlor of Cheonma Massage.

Wearing clothes like a jjimjilbok that were distributed at the store, she looked around and then muttered in a low voice.

“Something is different from the athletes’ village.”

I’d say it makes you feel a bit more cared for.

Like the interior, the air purifier in the room, the condition of the facilities, etc., in many ways, it felt cleaner and more sophisticated than the massage parlors in the athletes’ village.

However, it would be a more accurate point of view to see that this place is superior rather than that the massage center facilities in the athletes’ village are outdated. She nodded as she recalled what she had been looking for on the way up to Seoul.

‘I said it was highly rated in any guide… … .’

Did you say Fermo Guide?

I didn’t know what it was because my life had focused on training since I was young, but I could guess that it was quite credible and had great reviews. Even if you do a cursory search, there are a lot of related articles pouring out.

Of course, the massage center in the athlete’s village is also a very good facility… Still, if you compare it to a store that has received such great reviews, you will be pushed behind.

smart.

About that time, two knocks were heard at the door.

Jeong Ga-in, who was carefully examining the air purifier placed under the bed, sat on the bed and placed her hands on her lap as if she had been there the whole time.

“yes.”

Then, a calm voice answered the knock.

Then, at the same time as the answer, the door slid open, and the man who knocked on the door quietly entered the room. It was none other than Kang Tae-han.

“hello.”

“ah… Yes. hello.”

Kang Tae-han bows his head as soon as our eyes meet. On the other hand, Jeong Ga-in was greeted one beat late after showing a look of embarrassment inside.

‘Is it a little different from what I thought?’

Most of the masseuses she met were of a certain age. And those who had good skills were all quite old.

Conversely, I’ve never been satisfied with receiving something from someone relatively young. Maybe it’s because it’s a field where experience and proficiency are inevitably important. At least that’s what she’s felt so far.

And this place is said to have been highly evaluated by Fermo or something, and is not the most famous among massage parlors these days.

So, of course, she knew that someone quite elderly would come in. It was because I heard that the director of this place, not another masseuse, was coming.

However, the appearance of the person who entered the room was completely different from her thoughts. Far from being old, a young man who could be trusted even if he was just a college student entered.

‘Hmm.’

On the other hand, Kang Tae-han also looked at the other person carefully. Kang Tae-han, who was examining her, swallowed his saliva and nodded slightly.

‘The Five Elements.’

Seeing the talent he hadn’t seen in a long time, Kang Tae-han smiled without realizing it.

* * *

‘Is it because the equipment is gathering as much as the national representative?’

The body of the five elements is a body that is innately aptitude for the energy of the five elements.

As such, it has a high affinity for each energy, and it is such a natural talent that it can harmonize even the opposing energy within the five elements.

However, as the era is the era, the degree of talent is quite weak, and furthermore, since no attempt was made to bloom, of course there is no sense of humor and no inner strength.

However, that is the standard for a Moorim person.

Even if you omit such a part, there is no doubt that it is a talent that has been blessed enough. Compared to ordinary people, their physical abilities and ability to learn are inevitably superior. In fact, her body was very well trained.

‘However… There are definitely some problems.’

But now, rather, it was a state of trouble because of that talent. Kang Tae-han, who was examining the flow of her energy, clicked his tongue once and walked forward.

“First, let’s check your physical condition.”

“… Can I lie down?”

“yes. You can be comfortable.”

When Jeong Ga-in pointed to the pillow and asked, Kang Tae-han nodded and answered.

To be honest, I was still a puzzling Jeong Ga-in… Still, it was a bit rude to ask in front of me, ‘Are you the director?’

‘… what?’

But the moment Kang Tae-han’s hand gets closer.

didn’t even touch just got closer

Even so, Ga-in Jeong felt a reaction coming from her body. It’s a very strange expression, but… Should I say that the body itself is welcoming?

‘Even if it’s weak, it’s because it’s the five elements.’

And Kang Tae-han felt the same way.

Kang Tae-han, who intentionally held one of the Five Elements, the energy of fire in his hand, smiled at the reaction of instinctively trying to attract it.

‘Then, it’s convenient for me.’

It’s a situation to avoid if you’re in an enemy position, but now it’s a rather advantageous situation. Kang Tae-han put his palm on her back… … .

“… Ugh!”

The energy contained in her hand was absorbed into her body in an instant, like a sponge absorbing water.

The permeated aura instantly spread throughout her body, and each of the energies that spread became a sense of qi and conveyed detailed information to Kang Tae-han.

‘What, what… … ?’

Meanwhile, Jeong Ga-in was lying on her bed.

For the first time in her life, she felt bewildered by the sensation. It’s very strange, very awkward, and yet very… comfortable and comfortable.

It feels like something that has been depleted in the body is being replenished. To hear a similar experience, it was similar to the feeling of getting a glucose injection when you were half-passed out from exhaustion.

‘… Also.’

And that reaction was something that Kang Tae-han had already guessed and intended. Kang Tae-han, who looked at her body condition, or more precisely, the condition of her blood vessels, nodded slowly.

‘Is the blood flow through which fire energy flows out of alignment?’

Originally, people cannot contain the energy of the Five Elements in their bodies.

Even if you can handle that energy, it means that you can express the energy inside the body in the form of a five-type, not that the energy itself is contained in the body.

But the five elements are different.

You can accept and circulate the energy of the Five Elements that stays in nature in your body. Even if it is the energy that causes repulsion within the Five Elements.

but… That is why the internal blood vessels are much more sensitive and complex than those of ordinary people. To the extent that even a minor injury could cause blood loss.

‘It’s like one of the five collapsed.’

It was the same in her case.

Did you say there was a quadruple collision? Originally, the muscle would have just ended to a surprising extent, and it would probably have recovered within a week or so.

However, in her case, because of that, the internal blood vessels were slightly dislocated and blocked. As a result, the circulation of fire, one of the five elements, was blocked and the flow became unnatural.

The Five Elements is a form in which the five energies interlock and balance each other. When one becomes unstable, the other elements are bound to become unstable as well.

“Among them, the problem stands out the most… Here, right leg.”

And the place where the phenomenon appears most prominently is her right leg. The balance of the five elements in the bloodstream collapsed, and the scale gradually increased, affecting even the muscles and nerves.

“I can’t control my strength properly, but it must have been difficult to apply strength for a long time.”

“… yes?”

Kang Tae-han hints at the results he checked.

Jeong Ga-in, who was daze in ecstasy, answered reflexively. Like that or not, Kang Tae-han continued his story.

“To be specific… Needlessly, a lot of energy was put in, and then, all of a sudden, I was shaking. Didn’t that happen often?”

“… Right.”

At Kang Tae-han’s words, Jeong Ga-in’s mind, which had been in a daze, came back. What he said was very specific.

… Did you hear about it through Team Leader Wu?

However, he usually just says, “My leg is not in good condition,” and only the hospital said anything specific like this. The chances of the story reaching this point were very low.

“Perhaps… … .”

That being said, it makes more sense if you found out yourself. If so, maybe.

“Can it be treated?”

No matter where I went, I was given an ambiguous diagnosis of ‘aftereffects of a traffic accident’, and this symptom for which no action was taken.

You may also know the solution to this symptom.

The judgment she made based on her appearance at first has long since disappeared due to the mysterious experience she just had. She involuntarily asked in a voice filled with anticipation.

A question that has the meaning of carefully re-embracing hopes that had been put aside. On the other hand, the answer that came back was very simple.

“There is nothing difficult.”

With a smile on his face, a word he said as if it was not a big deal. In a way, it could be said that it was an insincere voice, but rather, it gave me trust.

It may not really be a big deal to this person, I want to.

such trust.

‘Maybe, really… … .’

Can it really be fixed?

Will I be able to stand on the stage of the Olympics myself?

She used to not show her emotions seldom, but now one side of her heart is choking. Just by thinking about it.

“Then, please take care of me… … ?!”

The moment he was about to hand over a favor to Kang Tae-han in such a choked voice. Her voice, which had been trying hard to be calm, soared to a high pitch that seemed to be torn in an instant.

─Higyaaagh!

“… Uh.”

“It’s been a long time since I’ve been this loud.”

Manager Hwang and his staff were looking at the counter in the lobby.

The two of them shook their heads left and right in shock at the sound of the screams echoing through the hallway through the soundproofing.

* * *

“Ah, Tae-han.”

a while after that.

When Kang Tae-han came out of the massage room, Director Hwang, who was just coming out of the preparation room, started talking.

“Did you just finish?”

“yes. This is the way to finish.”

“Ah, I thought you were catching people earlier. Is it a little gentle, how hard is it that people scream like that?”

This is a story about the screams that rang all the way to the hallway just after the massage started. Hearing this, Kang Tae-han put on a puzzled expression.

“Well, it was a good situation.”

The blood vessels are composed of a shape similar to nerves, and are located very close to each other. Therefore, when stimulating the blood vessels, there is a high probability that the nerves will also be stimulated.

So, when dealing directly with blood vessels… Intense stimulation is transmitted to the extent that it is incomparable to kneading a muscle.

Even if you simply apply pressure on stiff muscles, you can hear sounds, and since it was a process of correcting by applying force to the blood vessels inside, it was worth screaming.

“It was a situation where I had no choice but to be sick.”

“… What?”

At Kang Tae-han’s words, Chief Hwang was frightened for a moment.

In a situation where he is about to writhe in pain, Kang Tae-han only says, “Be patient.” If you feel really sick and choking, say something like, “It may hurt a little, but bear with it.”

If such Kang Tae-han said, ‘I can’t help but be sick’ instead of ‘I can get sick’… … .

How much is that pain?

It was difficult for Hwang, who had never experienced it, to even judge.

“… So, did the massage go well?”

“Yes. what is that?”

Kang Tae-han nodded lightly.

A situation in which the blood vessel was distorted and there was an abnormality in the circulatory structure. If left unattended, due to the nature of the Five Elements, the balance would gradually become distorted and cause bigger problems.

However, fixing it itself wasn’t that difficult. If you have mastered even basic deep gong, you could have solved it with only the fortune-telling breakfast.

It’s hard to be cured right away, but… … .

Even if you recuperate for a week or so, it will go away quickly. Since the main acupuncture points have been opened this time, not only the symptoms will disappear, but the condition of the body will be much improved.

‘by the way… It’s just too bad.’

The Five Elements I met in modern times.

In my mind, he is a person I want to hire as a massage therapist for the store. Physical ability and ability to learn are excellent, but in the end, the best part is in the heart.

However… It is not possible to recommend a masseuse to a national archery player. It was Kang Tae-han who put aside his regrets in many ways.

* * *

“Ah… … .”

Seonghyun Choi, who was lying on the sofa, slowly got up.

The first thing he did after sitting blankly for a while was to take out his smartphone from his pocket and check the time.

“… Baby, I fell asleep without realizing it.”

After Kang Tae-han left.

After that, it was Choi Seong-hyeon who came to a realization by feeling something… Perhaps it was a reaction to my long concentration, but I was suddenly feeling tired.

In that state, I closed my eyes to rest for a while and then opened them, this is the current situation. He warmed up with some light stretching and came out.

“… What, didn’t Seonghyeon leave work?”

“Iknow, right. It’s a very embarrassing situation.”

At the words of Hwang, who asked as soon as he showed his face to the lobby, Choi Seong-hyun scratched his head and answered. It was a ridiculous situation even thinking about it.

“that is great. I still didn’t have enough workers.”

“… No, do you think of something to order when you see me?”

“Isn’t it only showing up when you’re busy? Don’t do that, just bring some tea to the customer in room two.”

Choi Seong-hyun grumbled with a disapproving expression.

“Where did the preparation room staff go?”

“I’m in the bathroom because I have a stomach ache.”

“Heh heh, really… … .”

Choi Seong-hyun laughs as if it is absurd.

However, it is necessary to take a step forward. It wasn’t too difficult since it was just a cup of tea and carrying a tray.

‘In the second room… It looks like Taehan is a guest.’

He went out to receive guests earlier, but considering the time, he was probably the guest. Seonghyun Choi yawned as if to get rid of the drowsiness that still remained, and walked to the preparation room.
