“Whoa… … .”

Time passed like that for a while.

When the chair stopped working after the massage, President Jang Tae-hyun let out a short exclamation and slowly rose from the chair. There was a satisfied smile on his face.

“How was it?”

“Very, very good.”

To team leader Kwon Tae-soo’s question, he answered with a thumbs up. Although it was a short answer, it was a praise that seemed to drip with satisfaction.

“Actually, I didn’t think there would be that much difference in function from The Meister… It far exceeds expectations.”

Developing the next product after a popular product that hit the jackpot is a very difficult task. This is because not only the performance and quality have to be improved compared to existing products, but also the differentiated parts have to be included.

However, if a product hits the jackpot, it means that it already has the highest level of quality in the industry.

Developing a product that is noticeably better than that… It is the same as renewing a new high in terms of product. It can’t be that easy. In fact, there are numerous cases where the follow-up products of hit products are not good.

“When will the release be possible? I think it would be better to do it as soon as possible.”

But at least this time it was a useless worry. Chairman Jang Tae-hyun asked while kicking the watch that had been released next to him. It was a question with such a complex meaning, saying that it would not be inferior even if it was put on the market as it is.

“What are you looking at?”

“this? Can’t you see?”

Cheonma Massage’s resting room.

Director Hwang, who had been concentrating on the document work for a while, responded in a sullen tone to the question of the masseur passing by in the back. He was working on his laptop and at the same time had a broadcast turned on on his smartphone.

“The Olympics start today.”

“ah… right. Was today the opening ceremony?”

“By the way, the timing is perfect. Apparently, it’s time for Korean players to enter.”

An employee scratching his head remembering the Olympic schedule belatedly. Director Hwang pointed to the screen of his smartphone as if he had arrived well and said, and in fact, the Korean players began to enter the position before long.

“Kyaa… It just feels strange.”

In the midst of that, the position of the athletes was in progress for a long time.

Director Hwang, who had stopped working and focused on the screen of his smartphone, exclaimed and crossed his arms. Then the employee who was watching from behind asked.

“What?”

“I mean the players. Speaking of the Olympic national team, in many ways, they are far away, you don’t usually meet them, and they’re the kind of people you only see through the screen, right?”

“Yes, it is.”

Unless you work in a related industry, these are people you don’t really get to meet. In response to the employee’s reply, which seemed to be obvious, Chief Hwang smiled and added as if to add.

“But this time, there are quite a few familiar faces among the players out there, so it feels strange.”

“Ahh… I think I know what you’re talking about.”

At Director Hwang’s words, the employee nodded slowly.

It has been quite some time since national team players started visiting Cheonma Massage.

At first, only players suffering from the aftereffects of the accident visited the store, but as word spread among the players, the number of players one or two came to the store began to increase.

In addition, since Kang Tae-han went to the athlete’s village for a massage, the number of reservation inquiries has increased several times.

As a result, in the procession of national team players, familiar faces could be seen sparsely. There was no need to mention the archery, taekwondo, and fencing players who had been there since the very beginning.

“what. Has the Olympic Opening Ceremony already started?”

At that moment, the door to the hallway of the store opened, and someone walked with hasty steps. It was none other than Choi Seong-hyun.

“uh. Are our players entering right now?”

“really? Then you should have told me!”

“If you had asked me to tell you, I would have told you.”

Chief Hwang answers in a sullen voice. Even in the midst of this, Choi Seong-hyun hurriedly walked over and sat down on the sofa, pushed Hwang away and naturally settled down in front of his smartphone.

“Ohhh, it comes out, it comes out!”

Fortunately, as if he hadn’t missed the scene he wanted, Choi Seong-hyun put on a smile and put his head forward. On the screen, the national archery players, among them Jeong Ga-in, were appearing in close-up.

“Kyaa, our Ga-in looks even cooler looking like this!”

“Eh… It’s the main thing, dude.”

Choi Seong-hyun bursts into admiration at his girlfriend’s cool appearance on the screen. Director Hwang, who was watching it from the side, put a sound in his mouth as if giving a scolding. His voice was half playful rather than reprimanding.

“Is it that good?”

“There’s no reason not to like it, right?”

“Well… Well, that’s what it is.”

At Seonghyun Choi’s words, Chief Hwang nodded his head in agreement. If his girlfriend appeared on the air as an Olympic national team… It would be rather unnatural to not be excited.

“By the way, why are you watching on a small screen?”

The time when the entry of the Korean team is coming to an end, and the entry of the next team begins. Choi Seong-hyeon finally took his eyes off the screen and asked Chief Hwang next to him in a puzzled voice.

“Let’s watch it on a bigger screen, us.”

“Big screen? how.”

“That laptop. Should we huddle together on a small screen like this?”

Seonghyun Choi pointed at the laptop with his chin and said. Seeing the confident request as if it had been left to him, Chief Hwang burst out laughing as if it were absurd.

“Is this guy coming all of a sudden, sneaking out of his seat and complaining about the screen?”

“Oh, why? A big screen is better than a small one.”

“Then did you buy a TV here?”

“Can I buy it with my company card?”

“no. You have to buy it with your own money.”

The answer came right out of nowhere. However, it was Director Hwang who organized the work he was doing and played the relay of the Olympic opening ceremony on his laptop for Seonghyeon Choi.

* * *

“Come to think of it, you seem to be pretty busy?”

By the time the opening ceremony began to show its end.

Director Hwang looked at Choi Seong-hyeon next to him and asked a new question.

“These days, it remains until this time every day.”

Director Hwang looked at his watch sideways and said. It was much later than the time Seong-Hyun Choi used to come home from work, a time that could be called late at night.

Well, it’s late today because we were watching the opening ceremony together, but it wasn’t just today, but these days, it was Choi Seong-hyun, who remains until this time almost always.

“Me? It’s not quite up to par.”

At Director Hwang’s words, Choi Seong-hyun smiled and said, Then he added a short sigh, saying, “Aww.”

“But, because I said I would.”

The reason he remained so far was simple.

It was none other than Kang Tae-han’s special training.

Maybe ten days ago? When Seonghyeon Choi felt like he was blocked by a wall again, Taehan Kang had suggested, ‘Shall we help him with training?’

Choi Seong-hyeon readily accepted the proposal, and the content was still going on. In a way that remains in the store for a while after the shift is over.

“It’s an important time these days, right?”

Seeing Choi Seong-hyeon like that, Chief Hwang spoke lightly as if giving comfort. It wasn’t that I made up words out of nothing.

The agenda of the massage academy, which is going smoothly for a while now. The building has been completed, students have been recruited and selected, and only the interior work remains.

This means that soon the academy will be activated and the first classes will begin. And the one who will be in charge of the academy here is none other than Choi Seong-hyeon.

Of course, that doesn’t mean I’m entrusting everything, and it doesn’t mean that Kang Tae-han completely gave up. However, it is an undeniable fact that Choi Seong-hyun is in charge of a key role.

So, in a way, it was natural for Kang Tae-han to try to raise the level of Choi Seong-hyun as much as possible. To the extent that I set aside time to teach.

“But you didn’t look any different than usual, did you?”

“On the outside, it’s just the same, well.”

In fact, even if it’s a special task, it’s the same as usual.

Just take a comfortable posture and sharpen your inner Qigong and Qi sense. Because that was everything.

“They look the same on the outside, does that mean they’re different on the inside?”

“That’s it… Well.”

But that’s just what it looks like on the outside. Receiving Director Hwang’s question, Seonghyeon Choi recalled the situation when he was training for a while.

‘Can I survive this much?’

I suddenly felt a tremendous energy from the outside and put pressure on my senses.

‘Isn’t this okay now?’

It’s like sending energy to the blood vessels that have been put to rest and stimulating them as if they’re provoking them here and there.

‘Try one more lap one last time.’

I feel like I’m really at my limit right now, but I’m about to finish it, but suddenly I say ‘one last time’ and forcibly raise the power of Danjeon.

Especially after this last one, the real end, the real, real end awaits. It’s like a PT trainer shouting ‘one more set’ at the gym.

“… It’s hard to explain.”

However, these are feelings that only those with open minds can understand. Choi Seong-hyeon, who had been looking for an appropriate expression for a while, said with an ambiguous expression.

“It’s just that, when you’re done, you run out of energy. It feels like Taehan squeezes him right up to his limit, until he exhausts himself.”

“Hmm… That’s right.”

Director Hwang nodded at Choi Seong-hyeon’s words. However, it was an expression that seemed to remain suspicious.

“But it doesn’t look that hard.”

“Oh, that’s something really unfair.”

it’s tough. When you come back to your senses after meditating, your whole body is wet with sweat and you feel a great sense of exhaustion.

However, after eating the elixir prepared by Kang Tae-han, and after that, after Kang Tae-han gently touches the blood vessels… The body becomes lively. It’s like a lie.

It literally feels like giving a bottle and giving medicine. No, it feels like plugging in the IV and properly charging it.

As a result, after finishing the training, the mental power is almost exhausted, but the body is full of physical strength, and a contradictory situation appears.

In particular, on the outside, far from being tired, he just looks like a normal person. Of course, that’s not a bad thing, but personally, I don’t feel a bit unfair.

“It looks fine on the outside and seems to have suffered a lot.”

Could it be that he felt resentment in his expression? Director Hwang asked insinuatingly as he got up from his seat. At those words, Choi Seong-hyun nodded slowly.

“Still, isn’t that the result?”

“It certainly is, but… It also has a bit of an ambiguous feeling.”

Whether it’s the fineness of the senses or the area where you can use your inner energy, these parts are steadily growing.

But have you taken any big steps?

… If you do, that’s a bit ambiguous. I am moving forward, but in the end, I am not able to overcome the wall in the next step, and that unpleasant feeling subtly remains.

“I just need to get better, at least.”

“It is. by the way… what are you doing?”

“Are you riding a kudzu car? Are you going to drink too?”

“Uh, I… … .”

Seonghyun Choi, who had been saying something for a moment, blurted out his backstory.

“What, why?”

“no.”

I want to drink coffee rather than tea after a long time.

No matter how good it is for the body, there is no sense of being slightly bitten because I drank too much. In fact, it wasn’t that I was lacking in spirit right now.

I just want to drink a cup of coffee as a luxury item, and that with ice added to make it cool.

The words came out of my throat.

‘… I have to eat whatever they give me, well.’

It looks like it’s almost burnt out already.

It’s not that you drink it yourself, and it’s not that you don’t have enough sense to talk about someone else giving it to you. Seonghyun Choi sat down on the sofa and decided to wait in silence.

“Come on, drink.”

“Drink well… Well?”

Seonghyun Choi, who was handed the cup, showed a little surprise. First of all, it is not a teacup. And what was in it was Ahh.

“I didn’t use the coffee machine and burned it with the Dutch coffee Taejin brought me. Is that okay?”

“Oh, of course. hey How do you know my heart Did you write the law of interest?”

Seonghyun Choi brought the coffee to his lips and smiled. However, to those words, Chief Hwang replied as if asking what he was talking about.

“You said I want to drink coffee. Something cool.”

“… Yes?”

Of course, it was.

I just thought. I’ve never had it in my mouth. At least that’s what I remember.

“Didn’t you say that?”

“okay? I think I heard it. If you hadn’t told me, how would I have brought you coffee?”

“Yeah, but… Did I say it without my knowledge?”

Choi Seong-hyun tilts his head with an ambiguous expression.

“I wonder if you sent telepathy. what does that matter Just drink coffee.”

Feeling like the story was going to be long for no reason, Chief Hwang shook his hand as if it wasn’t a big deal.

Certainly, it’s not that important. Seonghyun Choi nodded at those words and brought the coffee to his lips again.
