“… Voila! haha. It’s been a while, Mr. Gain.”

The two of them quietly stared at each other for a while.

In the midst of it, Choi Seong-hyun greeted with exaggerated gestures as if to change the atmosphere.

“what? Why did Seonghyeon come?”

“That’s it. I was supposed to be in charge of Ga-in’s massage today.”

When Jeong Ga-in hinted at the unexpected situation, Choi Seong-hyeon scratched his right cheek and approached. Then he sat down on a chair near the bed and said.

“By any chance, is it not okay for me to come instead?”

“No, not like that… Whoop whoop.”

He said it in a joking tone, but there was a little bit of uneasiness mixed in deep inside. Maybe it was because she felt cute for some reason, but without realizing it, Ga-in Jeong covered her mouth with the back of her hand and let out a laugh.

“I guess so?”

“no. Wherever you see this, you must hate it.”

Jeong Ga-in pointed to her face and said.

An eye smile so vivid that even you can feel it yourself.

When Choi Seong-hyeon first came in, he had a momentary puzzled expression, but since then, his laughter has not stopped.

Is it because of the sincerity in that smile?

Choi Seong-hyun, who was about to say something more, ended the story with a smile on his face instead.

“Once then… Shall we start slowly? After all, you’re a customer who came to get a massage.”

“Ah yes. Sure.”

When Choi Seong-hyeon spoke in an embarrassed voice, Jeong Ga-in fell on the bed and buried her face in the donut-shaped pillow.

‘Why are you suddenly nervous… … .’

This is my third time coming here.

Of course, getting a massage is the third time. However, in the previous turn, I was worried about ‘wouldn’t it hurt’, but I was never nervous, but now I feel like my heart is pounding for no reason.

“Hmm… … .”

Seonghyeon Choi, as if aware of Ga-in Jeong’s thoughts, was moving her hands here and there as if to sense the pulse.

Until just now, he seemed to be playing a bit of a joke, but now he seemed to be cautious and focused as if there was some kind of switch.

In the changed atmosphere, Jeong Ga-in unconsciously glanced back and looked at his face.

Earlier, Seonghyun Choi seemed to be more nervous, but after the massage started like this, it seemed to be the opposite.

‘This is how I feel when I work… … .’

This was the first time Jeong Ga-in received a massage from Choi Seong-hyun, so it was the first time seeing Choi Seong-hyun at work.

So is it like that?

It was quite different from what she usually showed, and Jung Ga-in was worried in many ways. To put it more intuitively, I wanted to see it longer.

“It can be bad if you keep turning your head.”

“Ah, yes.”

In the meantime, Choi Seong-hyun smiled and looked at Jeong Ga-in and said.

Unknowingly, I was surprised by Jeong Ga-in. She quickly buried her face in the pillow. This was not only to cooperate for a smooth massage, but also to hide the reddened cheeks that he could feel.

“I… But, why did you suddenly change to Seonghyun?”

“ah. I made a separate request.”

When the understanding of the inside was over and the acupressure started starting from the shoulder, when Jung Ga-in asked a hint, Choi Seong-hyun answered in a calm voice.

“A favor?”

“yes. What can I say, just… I thought it would be nice if I could personally help Ga-in. To be more honest, I wanted to be in charge of at least one person I like.”

Even while Choi Seong-hyeon said that, he was still moving his hands.

Relax your shoulders and apply appropriate stimulation to each acupuncture point to facilitate circulation of blood vessels… … .

As much as Kang Tae-han had given permission, Seong-hyeon Choi’s level and skills were enough to take action, but it was also true that he was not familiar with it yet, so Seong-hyeon Choi continued to focus on this side.

To the extent that he didn’t even notice that he openly said ‘the person he likes’.

“… okay.”

So, it was rather Jeong Ga-in’s job to be ashamed of those words. She buried her face in the pillow a little deeper. Then, after clearing his throat, he opened his mouth in a gruff voice.

“By the way, why didn’t you read my Kakao Talk?”

“Kakao Talk… … ? I’m sorry. Today is a special day, so I couldn’t confirm because I was nervous. I would miss to practice whenever I had spare time.”

“A special day?”

“Gain is coming.”

aaa

At the sudden hook, Ga-in Jeong calmed down the exclamation that was about to burst out. She thought to herself that she was glad she was burying her face in the pillow now.

‘I’d believe it if it was almost another person… … ?’

The original Choi Seong-hyun.

At first glance, he seemed like a light-hearted person, but he had a deep heart and sincerity, and he had such opposite charms.

Maybe that’s why, there was a feeling that I was more shy than I thought, and that the bigger my heart was, the more I couldn’t speak well and expressed it in a roundabout way.

It’s different now.

Although he shows a slight shyness, he brings out everything he wants to say in a calm tone. Originally, the words that I couldn’t get out even if I hesitated for a long time.

‘Of course, it’s something I already knew, but… … .’

Choi Seong-hyun has a crush on her, and she also has a crush on Choi Seong-hyun. It is a crush not as a person to a person, but as a reason and a reason.

It was something that even she, who had not yet experienced dating, could fully guess. However… Isn’t it a different thing to say it with your mouth and listen to it?

“Sorry. I didn’t do that on purpose.”

“… no. That’s just what I said.”

Reading and not reading KakaoTalk, replying and not replying were not important anymore. Jung Ga-in, feeling the level of intense emotions he had never felt before, quietly buried his face and only let out a small voice.

* * *

“Oh~ Our CEO Choi!”

The next day, early morning.

Seonghyeon Choi, who was sitting on the sofa after going to work earlier than usual, was approached with an exaggerated greeting. It was none other than Chief Hwang.

“Suddenly, what kind of boss is the boss?”

“You’re a good boss since you’re running a business, aren’t you?”

“You are not wrong.”

When Chief Hwang asked as if asking for consent, Kang Tae-han, who was sitting across from him, nodded and said, The only one who couldn’t understand was Choi Seong-hyun.

“What? What business?”

“The love business, the love business.”

“ah… … .”

Seonghyun Choi responded as if he understood only then. It meant that I was laughing nonchalantly.

“It’s a mess again, it’s a mess again.”

“At times like this, when do you make a fuss? So, how was it yesterday? Was it worth practicing hard?”

Director Hwang poked Choi Seong-hyeon’s shoulder with his elbow and asked. Then Choi Seong-hyun touched his chin with his hand for a moment and answered in a low voice.

“… Yes.”

“Big! Looks good!”

“Somehow, the relationship has improved significantly compared to before… Like, I don’t know why it worked out so well.”

The same is true of being happy. Choi Seong-hyeon was smiling as if he could not hide the smile on his lips.

However, it is also true that there is still a curious part. Upon Choi Seong-hyeon’s reaction, Chief Hwang asked one more time.

“why? What do you think happened?”

“To be honest, I think I was talking to Mr. Gain while giving a massage… I can’t remember because I was so focused.”

“… I didn’t drink or drink, but I don’t remember? Can you?”

Director Hwang tilted his head and glanced at Kang Tae-han. Kang Tae-han should know the answer to this.

“Well, that might be enough.”

Then Kang Tae-han smiled and opened his mouth. Choi Seong-hyun himself had a vague memory, but Kang Tae-han seemed to have a general idea of what had happened.

“okay?”

“Since Seonghyeon had just entered the stage… Unless you have mastered how to operate it, you have no choice but to concentrate while giving a massage.”

Kigam is a talent that is inherently closed unless it is truly an innate talent. Even in Moorim, it was a sensation that ordinary people did not recognize, so there is no need to talk about it here.

In other words, a sense that is inevitably unfamiliar in many ways.

So, looking at the other person based on that sense and giving a massage means that you need more concentration than usual.

Of course, it is said that Choi Seong-hyeon gained his own enlightenment and learned how to operate his energy… Still, in many ways, it’s just an immature level, so it’s natural.

‘And when that happens, it naturally becomes unconscious.’

In other words, the boundaries between thoughts become blurred and loose.

It can be said that it is a slightly hazy state, and it can also be said that it is a state that is close to instinct. Do you think it will only take reflexive actions?

If the other person needs to be vigilant, the reaction will be colder than usual, and if the opposite is true… It is warmer than usual, and if you have a hidden heart, you will express your true heart more actively.

If it’s the same as yesterday’s Sunghyun Choi… definitely the latter.

At first glance, he seems like a person who likes to play and gets along well with strangers, but deep down he has a lot of troubles that he hides and he’s clumsy in expressing himself.

In that situation, since I was with Ga-in, well… During the massage, many inner thoughts leaked out.

“So, what happened with Ga-in?”

“no… After the massage, it became a natural flow to make plans for dinner. It’s late, so have a drink… But in the middle, Mr. Ga-in said that.”

“what?”

“… So, are we starting to meet today?”

“Ugh.”

Director Hwang, who was listening from the side, turned his head. He was frowning, a strange expression, as if sugar had been poured into his mouth.

“I don’t know, but they said I didn’t confess first… So I just said, ‘Yes’.”

“I see.”

On the other hand, Kang Tae-han only nodded once as if he knew that. The situation was as he had guessed. He leaned back on the backrest and smiled.

“Good. Congratulations, ma’am.”

“… Hehehe, thank you!”

Kang Tae-han congratulates by clapping his hands. Seonghyun Choi, who had been struggling to manage his expression until then, let out a laugh as if he couldn’t stand it. It was literally a smile of joy.

“Hey, this guy, let’s see him die.”

“Oh why! Can’t you smile because you like it?”

“It looks good, man~”

Choi Seong-hyun, who is laughing while showing irritation, and Hwang, who pokes at Choi Seong-hyun and makes fun of him. Kang Tae-han laughed at the sight of the two and stood up.

It was about then.

“I am Taehan. I need to ask you something.”

Someone next to me spoke in a low voice.

Kang Tae-han turned his head to see Sung-Hoon Kim, Tae-Jin Hwang, and the other two masseuses in charge of the artisan course, standing slightly awkward.

“Yes. What are you doing?”

“that is… I wish we could just talk to each other.”

“Hmm.”

Not only do they feel awkward, but they also feel a sense of uneasiness somewhere. Kang Tae-han sighed softly, then pointed to the door and said.

“I was on my way to the office right now, would it be all right if we talk there?”

“Thank you for doing that.”

Then, the two nodded immediately.

Meanwhile, while walking, Kang Tae-han pondered in his head. What could be the reason these two would react like this… … .

‘… ah.’

Then, suddenly, a possibility came to mind.

More precisely, it reminded me of a person who had a similar reaction relatively recently. It was none other than Choi Seong-hyeon, who had just woken up.

just as expected.

“That, actually. It’s a strange story to tell anyone, but… The two of us have been feeling something strange lately.”

“Should I say that it feels like something is flowing inside a person’s body? Originally, I was thinking of going to a psychiatrist, but I was wondering if Tae-han knows the answer… … .”

At the words of the two, Kang Tae-han nodded slowly.

Gradually, not only Choi Seong-hyun, but also other masseuses began to open up one by one.
