“Okay then, come this way. Over there, the big building you see over there is the main building.”

After a light joke with greetings.

Team leader Woo Dae-seok pointed to the front and started walking in the lead, while Kang Tae-han followed and looked around.

“It looks a lot better than I thought.”

“Haha, is that so?”

“Yes. The surrounding scenery is also nice.”

It was a word that I brought out to hear it, but it wasn’t that I didn’t put it in my mouth that I didn’t have in my heart. With a mountain in the back and a large reservoir in the front, it was quite a sight worth seeing.

“That is something I acknowledge. In particular, this air, such clean air, cannot be smelled in Seoul.”

Team leader Woo nodded his head a couple of times, as if sympathizing with Kang Tae-han’s words, and then scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed expression and said as if adding:

“Apart from that, employees complain that they have to come out this far to work.”

“That can’t be helped.”

It was certainly a scenic and clear place, but it also meant that it was far from the city.

Of course, it’s a good place for players to focus on training without looking elsewhere, and I think that’s why they settled here in the first place… This is a part that may be dissatisfied with administrative or administrative staff.

“It takes too long to go home once, I liked being in Taereung… I always say things like that.”

Team leader Woo said it in a playful way, but there was a serious expression mixed in, perhaps because he himself was feeling uncomfortable. Seeing that, Kang Tae-han smiled.

“Well, the people in Taereung have no choice but to compare.”

“Yeah, what… Even that happened quite a long time ago, so it is now dismissed as an old story.”

The two of them walk and talk like that.

Meanwhile, the other employees who met with Team Leader Woo were also talking among themselves.

“Who is that masseuse and the team leader cringes like that? From the outside, it looks like a student just graduating from college.”

“What, did you follow me without knowing?”

“You don’t know what?”

“That masseuse is the one who blew Daewon Na.”

“… I’m the manager?”

At the words of a colleague, the man showed a somewhat surprised reaction.

Speaking of manager Na Dae-won, he was the person who was in charge of the planning department here until a few weeks ago.

A man who had no ability, but was amazingly good at keeping his own food bowl and craving those below him.

No, saying that there is no ability is wrong. The ability to maintain personal connections, to somehow take credit for achievements, and to evade responsibility is really outstanding.

That’s why the story that the person was transferred to another place, like a demotion, was quite good news for the staff at the main building, but it was also a surprise.

The man was also surprised to hear the story.

I didn’t know the details because I was in another department not too long ago, but I heard that I was caught in the eyes of the chairman of Daecheong Group while talking behind my back.

“The rumored VIP is that masseuse?”

“Because it is. Of course, it seems that Team Leader Woo is doing that because of that person’s ability.”

“ability?”

“They said the massage was so good. Why, because of the aftereffects of the accident, the archery team and taekwondo team were almost reset, and they say it was solved thanks to that person.”

At the words of a colleague, the man glanced at the masseuse. However, he looked too young for the protagonist of such a grandiose story.

“I don’t think that’s the case, but… … .”

“Still, there’s something great about it, so you must have a connection with that president, right?”

He continued the story as he added.

“What does it matter whether it is true or not in the first place? The important thing is that you shouldn’t look bad for that person.”

“… uh, is that so?”

Come to think of it, that is also the case.

On the outside, he looks like an ordinary young man, but he is a big man who has connections with Chairman Jang Woo-young anyway. In fact, isn’t that situation where manager Na Dae-won was relegated to work related to that person?

Of course, he could be a good person regardless of the work, but if you think on the contrary, it means that there is a possibility that he is not. There is nothing wrong with paying attention.

The two of them looked at each other for a moment, then slowly nodded their heads as if they agreed. It meant taking care of each other.

“Then, let me go in first and talk to you.”

In the meantime, the main building arrived before I knew it.

Standing in front of the building, team leader Woo asked Kang Tae-han for his understanding and entered the building first.

Suddenly, it seemed that only three people were left in front of the building. Meanwhile, Kang Tae-han naturally spoke to the man first.

“You seem to be very busy these days.”

“Yes? Ahh… Yes. that what It’s the Olympics soon.”

He looked like a man who was taken aback for a moment because he was avoiding his gaze, but the answer came out quite naturally for such a thing.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been busy.”

“You seem to be working a lot of overtime. You also have severe migraines.”

“No big deal. It’s like a headache, just like a painkiller… … ?”

what?

In the middle of the conversation, the man stopped talking because of the sense of incongruity he felt at the moment. Being busy with work and working overtime a lot, these are things that can be fully guessed.

However, saying ‘You also have severe migraines’ is a bit strange.

Isn’t this a way of talking about what has already been confirmed, not speculation? Moreover, the fact that the words were true made the man even more surprised.

“… How did you know?”

“Your shoulders are very tight.”

Unlike the man with a dumb expression, Kang Tae-han spoke in a calm tone. Then, with a smile, he added:

“If you don’t mind, could you loosen up your shoulders?”

“Yes? ah… Go, thank you.”

Originally, it was a situation where ‘it’s okay’ should have come out.

Is it a feeling of intimidation or a sense of weight? For some reason, there was a feeling that it was difficult to refuse, so the man involuntarily nodded.

And after just a few minutes.

“Director, if you come in now… … .”

Team leader Woo Dae-seok, who came out after the procedure, was speechless at the sight of him in front of him.

The two employees who had gone out to greet customers together were sitting on a nearby bench and staring at the sky with tired expressions.

“Ah, is it all over?”

“Yeah, yes. You waited a long time, right?”

“It only takes a few minutes, but he says everything.”

Kang Tae-han smiled and shook his head and started walking toward the entrance. Team leader Woo glared at the employees still lined up on the bench, and belatedly followed Kang Tae-han.

“Me, but the director.”

“Yes.”

“Couldn’t the staff have done something rude?”

It’s definitely working hours, and that’s when you’re welcoming guests. But to sit on a bench like that!

I am in front of Kang Tae-han and guidance comes first, but to be honest, I can’t just ignore it. However, Kang Tae-han just shook his head at the words of team leader Woo Dae-seok.

“They both look a little tired, so I touched their shoulders.”

“… You mean you gave me a massage?”

“Yes. I’m a little sleepy right now, maybe… … .”

Taehan Kang glanced at his watch and said.

“You should be awake in three minutes.”

“ah… yes.”

Woo Dae-seok, team leader, nodded at first while feeling puzzled. It’s honestly hard to believe. If anyone else had said it, it would have been to cover up the staff’s rudeness.

However, in Kang Tae-han’s words… … .

Regardless of whether that was possible or impossible, I could just believe that it would be true. Because I’ve already seen more than that.

“If the director says so, it will be so.”

Team leader Woo, who had been filled with anger toward this absurd situation and the two employees until just now, but he was nodding his head with a fully convinced expression.

* * *

A resting room, one of the auxiliary facilities for athletes in Jincheon Athletes Village.

Right now, in front of the entrance, quite a number of people gathered and created a commotion.

“Aw, why is there such a fuss?”

“Then you keep snooping around too! Do you think you don’t know I’m trying to cut in line?”

People arguing with each other like a line in the middle and high school cafeteria. They were none other than the head coach or coach of the national team.

Even if they look like ordinary human groups at first glance, each of them is a celebrity who has made a name for himself in the event. The reason they did this skit was simple.

“What is cutting in line! I just want to see what kind of person that masseuse teacher is!”

The masseuse rumored to have radically developed the archery, taekwondo, and fencing team players.

Hearing that he came to the athletes’ village today and gave him a massage, everyone gathered like this.

“now! The order is set anyway, so there is no need to wait in line here. Haven’t I already told you! Disperse and text me later, then come with the players!”

In the end, the fuss ended only with the guidance of the staff. A manager standing in the front row opened his mouth in a gloomy voice, as if he still had regrets.

“Still, I waited in line just in case.”

“Ayu, what’s wrong with people who are old enough to grow old?”

“just… It sucks.”

With the Olympics just around the corner, the coaches’ honest feelings are that they want to do something for the athletes.

However, there is nothing special to say. At the words of the staff who spoke as if they were frustrated, they did not reply and scattered to their respective locations.

“Hmm.”

Meanwhile, Kang Tae-han, who was inside the break room, was drooling with his hand on a man’s back. He glanced lightly at the situation for a moment, then, without saying anything, poked his thumb deeply into one side of his back.

“Ahhhh!”

“Please bear with me for a little while.”

Not a thumb, but an intense stimulation as if an electric shocker had been applied! At the shock that ran down his spine and turned his head white, the man let out a scream that seemed to explode from his chest.

“Stop, sir! Wait a minute, wait a minute!”

“All right. It’s over anyway.”

“… to?”

But that scream didn’t last long.

Unlike usual, Kang Tae-han finished quickly and removed his hand from his back. In that situation, the player slowly got up with a puzzled expression.

‘I think I heard that it takes about an hour.’

No matter how much time is a relative concept, there was no way that an hour had passed like this. When I checked my watch, only ten minutes had actually passed.

“There are a lot of players I need to look after, so I am simplifying the process and pointing out only the necessary parts. Please forgive me.”

Did he read his thoughts with his expression, or had he already received many similar questions before. Kang Tae-han lightly lowered his head and said that, and the man waved his hands in embarrassment at the sight.

“No no, no. I just want to thank you for taking the time to do this. just… … ?”

The moment I was going to continue the story like that.

The man blurted out behind his back, feeling something different. Then he looked at his own hands and waved them just like before.

“what?”

The motion that had only been waving his hand gradually increased, and eventually he moved his whole body at once. He even made a sergeant jump in place, and he burst into admiration with his voice.

“Oh, it’s dope!”

The body moves so smoothly.

It feels like changing engine oil that has been there for several years, or should I say it feels like applying new lubricant all over the place.

‘How is this… Is it possible?’

Surprise soon turned to doubt.

The masseuse’s skill was excellent, I knew from the stories of archery and taekwondo team players who had already received massages, and there were also things I personally looked for on social media.

But now, instead of the 30-minute massage she used to do, she only received a massage for about 10 minutes.

If so, it is natural that the effect will be reduced.

But that’s enough to have this effect.

It wasn’t strange that he was gaping in admiration.

‘If it’s this much for 10 minutes… … .’

Wouldn’t it be possible to reap a notable effect by taking 30 minutes, no, just a few more minutes here? The man, whose thoughts continued to that point, momentarily seized his waist.

“Aggh… … .”

“Why are you like that?”

“Yeah, I didn’t tell you earlier, but actually I have a bad back. Maybe here too… … .”

At the same time, he notices the reaction of the side that has been sneaky.

Seeing that, Kang Tae-han smiled and said.

“When you leave, you can go that way.”

“Ah yes. sorry.”

Literally, a reaction that doesn’t even eat seeds. Kang Tae-han pointed to the exit and said in a calm tone, and the man lowered his head once with a shy expression, and quickly walked out with quick steps.
