“… How are you? here.”

Opening his eyes with difficulty, Shin Jun-ho frowned arrogantly. Even if I tried to move my body, it was not easy because my whole body was stiff.

“Rest for now. It will be difficult to move now.”

“Yes? ugh… … .”

Shin Jun-ho turned his head around and grabbed his left shoulder and shrugged. It was a reaction to the sudden movement of his muscles after being unconscious for a long time.

“Sir, the ceremony… So, how many days was it?”

“… Oh, Junho. You have been unconscious for over a week. So if you move your body suddenly, your body will be surprised, so lie down and rest for a bit.”

When Kang Tae-han looked back, Park Ho-yeon belatedly explained. Shin Jun-ho looked at the two in turn with surprised eyes.

“Come to think of it… is it a hospital? What is this?”

“How long do you remember?”

“uh… The mountain was so nice that I took a picture. But the angle was a bit disappointing, so I tried to move my seat… … .”

It rolled down. Shin Jun-ho, who recalled the memory belatedly, lowered his head for a moment with a confused expression. And it wasn’t just Shin Jun-ho who was confused.

‘What is this?’

Park Ho-yeon tried to keep a calm expression and looked at his friend Shin Jun-ho and Kang Tae-han in turn.

Shin Jun-ho was in a state of unconsciousness for unknown reasons. To put it a little seriously, the state of a vegetative person. I guess a concussion was the cause, but to be honest, it wasn’t that bad.

It’s just a case of being unlucky.

Although not very common, cases of relatively minor accidents in this way often resulted in a vegetative state.

I told Jesu that I would do my best and that he would be fine soon, but honestly, I didn’t know what to do or when I would return to consciousness.

‘I did… … .’

But now consciousness has returned. The young man put his hand on the back of his neck to check his pulse, and within a few minutes he regained consciousness.

Is it a coincidence?

While Kang Tae-han was doing something roughly, somehow, Jun-ho regained consciousness just then.

There is a possibility that it was just that, but the timing is too exquisite to see it as such.

‘I think I can help this person.’

Suddenly, I remembered what Taehan Kang had just said. I wondered what you were talking about at the time, but looking at it like this, it sounds like you found a solution.

“… Hoyeon-ah, I’m sorry. I owe you again.”

“uh? what.”

Park Ho-yeon reacted belatedly to Shin Jun-ho’s words.

“Looks like your hospital.”

“Ahh. Don’t worry. Because Jesu-san did all the calculations.”

“It’s not like that… done. But, more than that, who is this person?”

Shin Jun-ho pointed at Kang Tae-han and asked.

“This person? say hello He is your benefactor.”

“Benefactor?”

“He personally rescued you from falling down to take a picture at Gyeryongsan Mountain, and then… … .”

Park Ho-yeon paused for a moment. No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed that Kang Tae-han had helped Shin Jun-ho regain consciousness, but as a doctor, he still couldn’t understand this phenomenon.

“… He also helped you regain your consciousness.”

However, it is not the right thing to hide his achievements. Park Ho-yeon added a beat late. After the introduction, Kang Tae-han took a step forward.

“Hello, this is Kang Tae-han.”

“Ah yes. I’m still not in a hurry… It seems that I have received a great favor. thank you.”

“It was nothing. I’m glad you look okay.”

There’s nothing wrong with gathering herbs in the mountains.

Sometimes, just by holding hands, you can know the depth of emotions. Shin Jun-ho shook hands as a sign of gratitude, and Kang Tae-han smiled happily.

“This is amazing.”

Wednesday’s Massage Shop.

As a masseur muttered while looking around the store, Chief Hwang, who was next to him, turned his head.

“what?”

“These days, people are just crowded, but on Wednesdays and Thursdays, there are fewer people again like a lie.”

“Compared to before, there are a lot more, Mr. Seonghun.”

“That’s true, but compared to other days, it’s only decreasing, I mean.”

The man called Seonghun shyly scratched the back of his head.

Seonghoon Kim. He is one of the masseuses working here, and he is a masseuse known for his good skills, who played a role in attracting regular customers to this massage shop until Kang Tae-han arrived.

Since his skills did not go anywhere, many regulars were still looking for him, but it is also true that he is somewhat lacking compared to Kang Tae-han’s recent impact.

“Are there any interesting dramas these days?”

It’s just that I don’t know myself.

Kim Seong-hun tilted his head with a curious expression.

“No, did you really ask because you didn’t know?”

“What. let me know.”

“Taehan doesn’t appear on trees.”

“Taehan? Ahh… Were you the friend I was supposed to take the artisan course with?”

“… Aren’t you too interested?”

Director Hwang burst out laughing as if it was absurd. Originally, I thought he was a person who didn’t pay much attention to others, but I didn’t know that he was like this.

“I haven’t met that friend in the waiting room very often. Did you run into each other three or four times when you were drinking water?”

“Well, Taehan does have a lot of work… There are quite a few times when I just meditate quietly in the waiting room.”

“meditation?”

“Yeah, they told me not to touch it as much as possible.”

It is Kang Tae-han who goes into the Ungi breakfast as soon as possible by using the absorption method. On the other hand, Seonghun Kim, who heard the word meditation, made an impression on his face.

“Hey… something is tricky He seems to be in his mid-twenties now, but he seems to have a strong work ethic.”

To meditate is to focus on the next guest even when you are taking a break. Kim Seong-hun was also passionate about this job, but he hadn’t thought of going that far.

“It’s not quite as thorough. Skills are no joke.”

“Uh, yes?”

Chief Hwang is a person who does not exaggerate much. Sunghoon Kim reacted to his exaggerated accent.

“I heard a lump in my throat once, but when I glanced at it for a second, it disappeared like a lie.”

“… Sounds like a lie?”

“So you said it disappeared like a lie.”

Chief Hwang burst into laughter.

“Honestly, I don’t think he’ll be here for long.”

“Why, how is this place?”

“It’s not that our massage shop isn’t great, it’s that we’re just that good. And young.”

Right now, the conditions are right, so I’m just staying, and I’ll probably leave for another place when the time comes. Because he looked like a young man who would become much bigger than he is now no matter what he does.

“… Then, do you have more guests than me?”

Kim Seong-hun asked a question that was of concern to him. Then Chief Hwang made a strange expression.

“Still, there are only two people in charge of the artisan course here, and I didn’t expect that there would be this much interest.”

“No, answer what I asked.”

“Take a look at this.”

One hundred words are unbelievable. Director Hwang put the reservation table for the two on the monitor. Seonghun Kim also had so many reservations that it was difficult to find a vacant space in the preceding few days, but Taehan Kang could only make a reservation a week later, even at non-preferred times.

“This is about this… … ?”

“Because I’m not overdoing it for nothing.”

Seonghun Kim looked at the monitor with a surprised face. However, surprise soon turned to curiosity. how about A faint smile formed on his lips.

“I’ll have to see how well you do.”

“Look, what are you going to do?”

“Well… If you really do well, should I serve you as your master?”

you’re gonna do that

At Kim Seong-hun’s playful words, Chief Hwang burst out laughing and replied lightly.

“Then did you come all the way from Seoul?

At Park Ho-yeon’s words, Shin Jun-ho looked at Kang Tae-han. Kang Tae-han scratched his head with an embarrassed expression.

“What… If you come by train, it won’t take long.”

“However, how easy is that? I came down to help someone I didn’t even know.”

“My hometown is Daejeon, so I came there as well… And to be someone I didn’t know completely, I was the one who helped her once, so she stayed in my heart.”

And I wanted to get the elixir more confidently. In fact, this was the most important reason, but Kang Tae-han decided not to say it.

On the other hand, Shin Jun-ho was deeply impressed by Kang Tae-han’s words. Huh, the gaping mouth did not close.

“this… You are truly a benefactor. I want to repay you somehow.”

“Come to think of it, I think Taehan-san said he wanted to visit your mountain at least once.”

At that time, Park Ho-yeon, who was looking at the diagnosis results next to him, opened his mouth as if he had suddenly thought of it.

When someone else brings up the subject without speaking directly. It’s an ideal picture. It was a really satisfying development for Kang Tae-han.

“I sent you a text message yesterday.”

“If it’s a mountain… What mountain are you talking about?”

what kind of mountain

Is there not one mountain you have?

Kang Tae-han admired inwardly.

“Because this guy is rich in land.”

“Hey, what about the land rich? Land is rich only when it is located in Seoul. This is embarrassing, but one is a mountain and the other lands are not that wide.”

Shin Jun-ho waved his hand and said. It was a reaction as if there had been a big misunderstanding over something similar once.

“Keuheum, so, where are you talking about?”

“At that time, when I was working at Mt. Gyeryong, I received a bottle of bellflower wine as a gift from Jo Won-ho… … .”

Kang Tae-han said everything. The taste of bellflower wine was so good, that his father also liked damgeumju, so he was interested in it, and if it was okay, he wanted to dig some herbs there too.

“My benefactor is asking for it, of course it’s okay. If it’s Taehan, it doesn’t matter if you say you’ll be carrying a few cows in our barn.”

When Kang Tae-han finished speaking, Shin Jun-ho nodded happily as if he had waited. He fumbled in his pockets and realized belatedly that what he was wearing was a hospital gown.

“Hoyeonah, where did you put my phone?”

“Did you give that to my sister-in-law?”

“… Then give me yours for a second.”

Shin Jun-ho opened the map application on the handed smartphone. After flipping through the map for a while, he enlarged the screen and showed it to Kang Tae-han.

“Perhaps the mountain Wonho is talking about is this mountain.”

“… Well. Certainly, it is a well-established mountain.”

Kang Tae-han looked at the screen and muttered involuntarily.

Anyone who knows how to read the topography can tell that it is not unusual just by taking a quick look.

The mountain range runs from Gyeryongsan Mountain, the Geumgang River flows in front, and on the other side of the river lies Baekje’s Seongsan Mountain and Chilgapsan Mountain.

The geography of Gyeryongsan Mountain and Chilgapsan Mountain, where the energy of the two spiritual mountains are harmonized and even meets the condition of Imsu (臨水). To put it simply.

‘It deserves to be called a good place.’

Expectations rising in real time.

Kang Tae-han swallowed the laughter that was about to escape.
