A drunk driving accident in the middle of Seoul in the early afternoon.

It was a terrible accident caused by a crazy driver who had been drinking since the morning, but fortunately there were no victims.

There was a moment when it was dangerous to run into a pedestrian who had not been able to avoid it, but the vehicle suddenly turned a sharp curve and narrowly avoided it.

Of course, the driver and vehicle that crashed into the guardrail were not fine… It’s self-inflicted anyway.

However, the accident was rectified quickly.

Since it happened in the middle of Seoul in the first place, police and an ambulance arrived at the scene immediately, and the driver passed out to the hospital and the vehicle was towed.

Meanwhile, Kang Tae-han got out of his seat before the scene became cluttered. There was no damage, and I wanted to avoid a situation that would cause a commotion.

From the beginning, the relationship between the government office and the martial arts was mutually non-interference. Of course, this is Hyundai, but it was obvious that if you were at the site, all sorts of troublesome things would happen, such as hearing the circumstances, needing a witness, or whatever.

Of course, I wanted to break at least one of the driver’s limbs, but… If he had run away, that would be left to the police, not his own.

From saving lives to getting out of position.

Everything went as Kang Tae-han thought. But if there’s one thing that’s different from what you expected.

“excuse me! Wait!”

The person who saved him followed him.

The person who had been shocked and collapsed a moment ago managed to pick up his energy and even ran to catch up with Kang Tae-han.

“haha… Haha, what kind of steps are so fast?”

She bent down to her waist and gasped for breath. Could it be because I was wearing heels? Breathing was quicker than usual, making it difficult to breathe.

“this. You shouldn’t overdo it with a surprised body yet. Drain from the waist first, and take a deep breath to the inside.”

Kang Tae-han, who saw that, clicked his tongue and gave advice.

At first glance, it seems like nagging, but the deep, low-pitched voice gave a strange trust. She straightened her back and exhaled slowly.

“Are you okay?”

“uh… yes.”

Did deep breathing really work?

The effect was quicker than expected, and she nodded her head with a curious look on her face.

“So, what are you doing?”

“Oh, right. What if I just go?”

“… What remains?”

“I didn’t get anything in return!”

Aha. Belatedly, Kang Tae-han burst into exclamations.

However, it wasn’t something I was hoping for. I just didn’t want to see someone get hit by a car right in front of my eyes.

It’s been a while since I’ve been in the middle of a long time, and I’ve been in the middle of a long time. When comparing the two, the former was just a little more powerful.

“Repay me. How could it be my fault that the car got out of the way by itself?”

Kang Tae-han raised his eyebrows and shrugged. It didn’t go well with the grave voice, and for some reason it was a drug-like expression.

‘No, why do you keep talking like that?’

I can’t explain it, but the car’s sharp turn at the last moment didn’t turn by itself, but by that man. Intuitively, I felt that way.

And according to that intuition, he could be called a lifesaver. I couldn’t be the one to send it without a proper thanks.

But what should I do if I get caught saying I don’t want to receive anything in return? She, Yoo Se-ah, felt an unexpected frustration in a situation she was experiencing for the first time in her life.

Do I look like a suspicious person?

Maybe. Whoa. She let out a small sigh and gently lowered the sunglasses she had been wearing until then.

“Have you seen me? I am not a suspicious person.”

A situation in which the manager would criticize her if he saw it.

However, the man in front was frowning. It gives the impression that he has seen something embarrassing to see.

“The idea that everyone in the world will recognize you is only for third-rate warriors… No, that sounds like a bit of a shame anyway.”

anger. In an instant, Yoo Se-ah’s face turned red.

As if trying to alleviate her embarrassment, she lowered her sunglasses to the tip of her nose, exposing her face a little more, and said in a bewildered voice.

“Ji, you really don’t know? Yoo Se-ah, Yoo Se-ah!”

“I don’t know who you are… It’s Yoo Se-ah. It’s a name that suits you well.”

“… Yes?”

Yoo Se-ah asked back without even realizing it.

Kang Tae-han lightly crossed his arms and smiled slightly.

“Isn’t it a beautiful name with a good pronunciation?”

Kang Tae-han speaks with a calm voice.

However, there was no particular intention. Just like he said, I thought Yoo Se-ah and her name were beautiful, so I just put that thought into my mouth.

“Uh, what… You mean?”

“It’s just as I said.”

Yoo Se-ah opened her mouth to say something, then quickly put on her sunglasses again. The cheeks exposed under the sunglasses were more red than before.

“Anyway, I really don’t need anything in return. First of all, I don’t have much time right now.”

The reservation time is getting closer and closer… Now, you can still soak in the hot water for about 20 minutes. It was a small pleasure that I didn’t want to miss.

“Well, then… Please give me your number, too.”

Yoo Se-ah said in a clumsy voice. To be honest, this is the first time I’ve ever asked someone of the opposite sex for their number.

Even thinking about it myself is embarrassing, and I wonder if I have to go this far… For some reason, the thought of wanting to meet her once more in another place made her move.

Was her sincerity conveyed?

Kang Tae-han put his hand to his mouth and thought for a moment. You keep coming out like this even though you don’t like it. In fact, isn’t it just that you need an opportunity to meet yourself… It was Kang Tae-han who came up with a corner that he knew at the moment.

“… Could it be that Yusea was the name of a new religion?”

“Just let me know!”

At this point, all that remains is to come.

Kang Tae-han was finally able to return to the jjimjilbang after handing over the number to Yoo Se-ah.

After Kang Tae-han went to the mountain on holiday.

Kang Tae-han’s artisan course has undergone some changes.

That’s a cup of tea served after a good night’s sleep.

Originally, I brewed tea with a tea bag I bought at the mart, and it was just a cup of warm tea, but it didn’t mean anything more or less… Now, it has changed to serving healthy tea brewed with kudzu paste that Kang Tae-han made himself.

“Huh… … .”

A pleasant sigh escaped from the mouth of a customer who had just woken up and drank a sip of healthy tea.

“This is completely permeating… … .”

The deep sweetness that comes from the honey-marinated kudzu.

The first impression is sweet enough to be close to honey tea, but the bittersweet scent that is soon revealed adds a deep taste and a profound sense of weight.

Massage is an act of waking up stiff muscles and normalizing the structure of the body by making blood circulation smooth.

It is natural for the person doing the massage to have a hard time, but the person receiving the massage also consumes a lot of energy and energy. Even if you think about it simply, it means that you are constantly being shocked by the outside world. It is not for nothing that you feel hungry after receiving a massage.

Furthermore, Kang Tae-han is involved in blood flow and internal air.

Of course, the amount of consumption is bound to be more severe.

That’s why I adjusted it moderately at first, and after the artisan course was introduced, I placed the sleeping time at the back… If something to replenish energy is provided, the efficiency will inevitably be improved.

Because the harvest was larger than expected, it was difficult to store miscellaneous medicinal materials such as kudzu, but it seems that they have found a useful use.

“Hey, manager! The tea you just drank, what’s its name?”

“This is so good for your body. Can’t we just have one more drink?”

“Sell me one bottle. Can’t you do something?”

Fortunately, it is also popular among guests.

Kudzu has the property of clearing the liver and recovering from fatigue. In addition, what Kang Tae-han dug up contained a bit of spirit, and even had the effect of restoring energy.

However, the nature is so strong that if you overdo it, it can be poisonous, but… If it is about one cup a day, there is nothing that is more effective for modern people than this.

The popularity was not only because of the efficacy.

It also had the purpose of replenishing calories, so honey was generously added when soaking arrowroot syrup, and perhaps thanks to that, there were many good reviews for the taste itself. The sweet taste goes well with the subtle bittersweet scent.

‘This guest… My constitution doesn’t match kudzu.’

No matter how good it is for the body, if it does not suit the constitution, it is rather poisonous. In such a case, arrowroot tea cannot be served.

However, in preparation for such a case, we also prepared a night gate tea that has the opposite temperament to kudzu. Kang Tae-han, who came out after the massage, conveyed the information to the person in charge and returned to the waiting room.

“Are you coming out after work?”

“Yeah, did you finish your course registration successfully?”

“I’m tired, what… … .”

Seonghyun Choi’s shoulders drooped.

Course registration once missed will not return. Of course, contacting the department office will not change anything. Literally, it’s just a feeling of trying to catch a straw.

“Let’s have dinner together later. I’ll buy you something nice.”

“… So, is it Korean beef?”

“Beef should be half and half.”

Kang Tae-han draws a line against Choi Seong-hyun who crosses the line.

Choi Seong-hyun himself said it as a joke, so both of them burst into laughter.

“By the way, the atmosphere here has changed a lot.”

“… is it?

“Well, first of all, because the number of customers has increased significantly.”

Kang Tae-han’s skill spread through word of mouth.

In the process, awareness of the massage shop also rises, and the number of customers themselves increases.

Of course, most of them will find Kang Tae-han, but there is a limit to the number of guests Kang Tae-han can receive, and it is regrettable that the guests just leave.

Originally, when a store in an alley becomes famous, vitality begins to circulate little by little in the surrounding commercial district.

So naturally, other masseuses also had more work, and thanks to that, the whole massage shop started to live up to it.

“Ah—these days my shoulders are sore.”

Then someone’s voice came from inside.

Seonghoon Kim. Like Kang Tae-han, he is taking the artisan course, and was originally considered the best masseuse here.

He was shaking his shoulders with an exaggerated gesture, expressing with all his might that his shoulders were sore.

“I’d appreciate it if someone could massage me… … .”

Glance. Kim Seong-hoon’s gaze turned to Kang Tae-han.

He had only one purpose. How excellent is Kang Tae-han’s skill! It wasn’t that I was jealous of him or belittling him, it was a curiosity out of sheer curiosity.

Interest in Kang Tae-han.

When I talked with Chief Hwang before, I was a little interested, but the interest deepened when I saw a certain customer.

I happened to see a customer before and after receiving a massage, and it was so different that I wondered if it was the same person.

After that, I wanted to get a massage sometime when the opportunity came along… I was doing this kind of acting because I didn’t have a chance to come.

“What is it? It’s the first time I’ve seen him say he’s tired.”

Originally, he was famous for his good stamina even among masseuses. Since he was a nobleman who seldom complained, Seonghyeon Choi looked at him curiously.

‘… He seems to be a bit of a tough guy.’

Meanwhile, Kang Tae-han tilted his head at him.

It’s a body that doesn’t have a single hardened or united place, but seeing it go that far, anyone can see that it was an act.

Well, if that’s enough, anyone can give it a squeeze.

Kang Tae-han turned off his attention and started browsing the Internet news on his smartphone as usual.

‘… Well?’

In an instant, a familiar name caught his eye.

A name I came across quite recently. Kang Tae-han held out his smartphone screen to Choi Seong-hyeon.

“Hey, do you know who this is?”

“this person? It’s Yoo Seah.”

“… Are you famous?”

“You don’t know? what is it… A popular drama on Appflix. He’s an actor who appeared there too.”

… I see Kang Tae-han nodded moderately and brought the smartphone back. At least, it seemed that the number had not been passed on to a new religion.
