“I’ve seen the name a few times, but… … .”

Sehu Kim tilted his head slightly as he looked at the words ‘Cheonma Massage’ written on the map. To be honest, she wasn’t usually interested in massage parlors.

It’s not like there’s anything wrong with my body, and even if my body feels stiff from being a bit tired, there’s a masseuse hired by my agency. You don’t have to go to another massage center or masseuse to get a massage for free.

In other words, there was no need to pay attention.

In particular, it was because it was difficult for actors and celebrities to go in and out of any store.

However, I still remember seeing the word Cheonma Massage somewhere. Maybe you saw it on social media. It seems that they have come and gone during the small talk of celebrities around them.

“But I never thought it would be such a famous place.”

The fact that stories are heard even though they are not interested in it means that they have a high level of awareness in that field.

That’s why I was guessing that it would be popular to some extent… … .

When I tried to make an inquiry by phone, the constant call was at the level of a bank customer service center, and when I turned on the reservation application, I realized that making a reservation itself was quite difficult.

In particular, in the case of the Cheonma course that Seah Yoo mentioned, reservations can only be made after three months. That was also a story on weekdays, and for weekend reservations, in fact, you could find a seat almost half a year later.

Of course, there was no way to get a reservation within a few days right away in such a situation.

If I had to ask, would it be about finding a canceled seat? However, there seemed to be little chance of that, and even if there was a seat, it was more difficult because you had to compete with other guests to make a reservation.

However, even so, the reason why they came all the way to the building was that they found a reserved seat anyway. It was all thanks to Yoo Se-ah that she was able to get the position.

‘then… I have a seat reserved for you, but you go in instead of me. I can do that.’

Because she gave up her reserved seat to Kim Se-hu. It was burdensome because I had already checked the reservation status, but Yoo Se-ah readily recommended it as if nothing was wrong.

‘Sister, can I really go?’

‘I do not care. Taehan anyway… No, I’ve already received it often from the director.’

In fact, from Yoo Se-ah’s point of view, it was reasonable.

It was because I was in a position to meet Kang Tae-han often, and he often gave me a massage. If there is something uncomfortable, Kang Tae-han will come over and give you a massage even if he doesn’t say anything.

In other words, you can get a massage separately.

To be honest, I didn’t make a reservation to ‘get a massage’, but to ‘meet Kang Tae-han one more time’.

I don’t think it’s that desperate feeling

Of course, since I had made a reservation, it meant something to Yoo Se-ah, and I was looking forward to it, but… … .

But, well, if you’re not a complete stranger, or if someone you know needs it, there’s nothing you can’t concede to. Especially when it comes to Sehu Kim.

Just as Se-ah Yoo is a senior she wants to imitate, Se-hu Kim was a close colleague and a pretty junior to her.

‘How should I repay Se-ah unni… … .’

However, from Kim Se-hoo’s point of view, such a background is of course unknown. To her, it just seemed like a willingness to give up a position so hard to get.

I’m not sure, but she must have made a reservation several months in advance. To give it away like this, you could say it was a bottomless goodwill.

‘I hope it’s that satisfying.’

As much as it is an opportunity that I received as a concession, I hope that there is that much satisfaction. With that thought in mind, Kim Se-hu stepped inside the building.

“How did you like the meal?”

The Liner Hotel is located inside the Liner Building.

At the Italian restaurant located inside, someone insinuated Kang Tae-han. Kang Tae-han looked at him and nodded his head with a smile.

“Sure. You ate so well. I am satisfied.”

“I’m glad you were satisfied. thank you.”

“It was nothing. I was only served a meal.”

He is none other than Kwak Sang-young, the general manager of the hotel. When he thanked Kang Tae-han, Kang Tae-han shook his hand with an embarrassed expression and said,

As the saying goes, this was just a place where Kwak Sang-yeong invited Kang Tae-han to eat. If either of them were to give thanks, it would probably be Kang Tae-han’s share.

“furthermore… Please invite our staff like this.”

Meanwhile, Kang Tae-han looked around the table and said. The staff of Cheonma Massage, including the masseuse, were sitting around.

Excluding those with prior appointments, all the people currently at work ate together here. They were also invited along with Kang Tae-han and came here.

“Actually, it’s as if Manager Kwak ordered a Cheonma Massage dinner.”

“Even at the hotel restaurant.”

When Director Hwang, who was sitting next to him, took a sip of water and opened his mouth, Choi Seong-hyeon, who was across from him, also opened his mouth.

From lunch, gather together at the hotel’s Italian restaurant and have a meal. It can be said to be quite luxurious.

“Besides, it seems like it’s become a bit popular these days.”

“Right. They say that it has changed a lot from before.”

“haha… Is that so. Hard work is worth it.”

Two people who speak as if they are slightly floating. At those words, Kwak Sang-young smiled with an embarrassed expression. It was true that the two of them came up with something nice to hear, but they didn’t just make up words that weren’t there.

“Actually, it has undergone a major overhaul since last month, but fortunately it is receiving favorable reviews.”

They changed the head chef, supplemented manpower, and changed the interior once. This was true not only here, but also other restaurants, rooms, and facilities.

The reason was simple.

This is because a large amount of new budget was allocated from the head office.

Although it was rated 3 stars in the Fermo Guide, it was because of the evaluation received thanks to Cheonma Massage and an internal analysis that the level of the hotel itself was somehow lacking.

Actually, it was natural.

In the first place, the Liner Hotel was not a place aimed at a high-end hotel, but a hotel with the concept of a good place to visit for business and leisure purposes near Yeouido.

But whatever it is, I received 3 stars in the Fermo Guide and received a lot of attention… It was the headquarters’ decision to increase investment in the hotel itself, even if not to the level of Fermo 3 stars.

And the result was also fortunately successful, so the evaluation of the hotel was getting better day by day. As such, it is not surprising that the general manager of this place, Kwak Sang-young, has a bright expression on his face.

“furthermore… Thanks to Mr. Kang, I got some good news.”

“You mean that?”

“Yes. Hey, didn’t Caliber players and Everton FC players come to the massage parlour?”

“… Yes?”

Caliber is a foreigner who met and helped through a relationship at the crosswalk last time, and Everton FC players came as a group just a few days ago.

Taehan Kang nodded slowly.

In response, Kwak Sang-young smiled and opened his mouth with a slightly excited voice.

“Mr. Caliber and the Everton players all stayed at our hotel. In particular, players Caliber and Ybor are staying for a long time.”

This time, Kang Tae-han nodded slowly.

Come to think of it, it certainly makes sense. Caliber is staying in Korea due to a long treatment period, and all Everton FC players have returned to England, but Ivor decided to stay longer to get advice on meditation.

I was not told where they took up lodgings.

However, if there is Cheonma Massage on the 20th floor of this building and a fairly decent large hotel below it, staying there would be a natural and reasonable choice.

“Hmm… What about it?”

“Thanks to that, it naturally became publicity, like that. Besides, these days, professional baseball teams often visit us.”

Having a certain celebrity stay at a certain hotel is, in itself, quite a big publicity event. It’s not just the psychology of following a celebrity, but the fact itself guarantees a certain level of quality.

Even so, the reason why hotels don’t talk about ‘someone who stayed’ is because they prioritize trust that personal information is not leaked.

However, what if the celebrity in question announces and promotes himself, saying, “Where am I staying?”

As long as the person is not a controversial person, it is a welcome thing for the hotel to the extent that they want to pay for publicity separately.

In that sense, the stay of Caliber and Everton FC players was really bringing a lot of publicity to the Liner Hotel.

Caliber was doing a lot of indirect publicity through what tube videos they upload from time to time, and Everton players were uploading their daily lives at the hotel one by one on social media until recently.

To put it bluntly, even if they were given a publicity fee of 100 million units, they would do it or not. But celebrities don’t even stay at hotels, so they voluntarily advertise?

This is literally a pumpkin climbing over a wall with vines… No, it’s like a jar of honey rolling in on its own.

“Compared to that, this is a really small and insignificant reward, so I would be grateful if you thought about it without burden.”

And all of that is thanks to Kang Tae-han being here.

Of course, Kwak Sang-young is proud of the hotel he runs. However, the reason why those celebrities came here is because of Cheonma Massage. It’s a fact that everyone knows without thinking too hard.

So, it is natural to feel grateful.

No, it is also a collaborator that must be caught beyond simple gratitude. Kwak Sang-young smiled and greeted politely.

“Oh, come to think of it, what would you like for dessert? I don’t know what to say, but the skill of the patissier who came in this time is quite good.”

Then, as if he had suddenly remembered, Kwak Sang-yeong gestured to the waiter next to him and said,

The waiter approached right away with the menu board. However, Kang Tae-han politely declined after checking the time.

“Sorry, but we’ll eat that next time.”

“ah… You have to go up.”

“yes. Besides, the guest coming this time is someone my acquaintance asked for.”

“In that case, we will treat you again next time.”

Kang Tae-han gets up from his seat and smiles. Kwak Sang-young also smiled at him, opened the way, and greeted him lightly.

“Others, please eat slowly and come up. Time is not that tight yet.”

Taehan Kang left the words and left the restaurant first. After a while, Chief Hwang opened his mouth insinuatingly in a quiet space.

“If the director gets up first, who eats slowly… … .”

“Aww, I mean.”

It was Kang Tae-han who left a message to eat dessert slowly and come up, but no one listened to his words.

Of course, Kang Tae-han is not the type to pressure or scold employees. To put it bluntly, it’s the opposite style.

But should I say that in this situation, I am rather pricked by shame and conscience, or should I say that there is an atmosphere to do better when you do well… … .

“That, manager, I enjoyed my meal thanks to you.”

“Are you all going to wake up?”

“Haha, yes, what… … .”

In the end, all the members of Cheonma Massage stood up after putting off the dessert until the next opportunity.
