It goes without saying, but the body and physical condition of the players is a very important issue that is directly related to the performance of the match.

In the world of pros, even subtle differences such as a subtly less concentration than usual or being concerned about something else can sometimes be fatal.

This is why some players paranoidly obsess over seemingly trivial jinxes.

What if a player has a problem due to an unavoidable injury or after-effects of surgery?

That is, without a doubt, fatal. Unlike the mental part, which can be relatively abstract, this has a direct effect in the physical realm.

However, professional players and injuries are inextricably linked.

Even if the usual training is second, every time I go to the game, I have to raise my physical to the limit in a short time.

Every time that happens, the body has no choice but to go to an unreasonable burden, and they accumulate in the body as it is. Eventually, at some point, problems will appear.

Muscle or ligament ruptures are not uncommon, and a single injury can end a player’s life at once. There are many reasons why the average life span of a professional athlete is short.

‘But if I could just get rid of it… … .’

If not caused by a direct accident, most injuries are caused by the damage and fatigue accumulated in the body over the years.

But what if you could initialize it once?

Not only does it prevent injuries, but it also improves the players’ condition to the best possible condition. At least to the extent that you are experiencing it yourself right now, it makes no sense.

Of course, improving the condition won’t give the players the skills they didn’t have, but at least they will be able to raise their skills to the maximum.

‘They’re not the only ones who can see some effect… … .’

Athletes who are unable to produce as good as before due to the aftereffects of surgery, senior players who have a lot of experience but are now difficult to send out often due to poor physical skills… … .

Even just thinking of players that could have an immediate effect immediately crosses ten fingers. Even if it is this much, the power of the team is rapidly thickened.

“Heh… Then, isn’t the next season virtually confirmed for fall baseball? Maybe it’s been a long time since I’ve had a cool fireworks show? ha ha ha!”

Thin core player base and jagged match potential.

Perhaps the team’s chronic problems can be solved at once. Just by imagining it, the corners of Oh Jae-yoon’s lips were slowly going up to both ears.

“That would be nice.”

It seemed like you could clearly see what he was thinking, so Choi Tae-joon also burst out laughing.

“But then, you have to recruit first. I heard you didn’t do anything and just came.”

“Oh, yes. First… Can I go over there to the counter and ask?”

“Perhaps?”

“great. Then come quickly.”

When Choi Tae-joon pointed to the counter and said, it was Oh Jae-yoon walking right there. Perhaps it was true that the saying that I felt younger for ten years was true.

“Then get a good night’s sleep.”

“100 million.”

As soon as the massage was finished and the blood transfusion was performed, the guest who had been slightly raising his head collapsed onto the bed as if he had passed out.

A deep sleep in which you don’t even dream.

As long as there is no shock from the outside, you will remain asleep for an hour and focus on recovery.

‘I’ll have to refill the towels too.’

There is a high probability of drool, so first place a towel on the pillow and lightly place the guest’s head on it. And it fixes the posture of the guest who has fallen down to a comfortable position.

‘I hope you get some rest.’

After that, adjust the temperature of the massage bed according to body temperature, cover it with a blanket, and finally turn off the lights in the room.

Hoping that the guest, who had fallen asleep, would wake up in a good mood after recovering, Kang Tae-han carefully closed the door and came out.

“Ah, are you here?”

Next, Kang Tae-han heads to the preparation room, which is equipped with various fixtures and beverages for the guests. Upon entering, the staff in charge, who had been arranging supplies for a while, greeted Kang Tae-han.

“I just got out. More than that, the towels ran out in room 3. I would appreciate it if you could fill it in later.”

“You mean Artisan Course Room 3?”

“Yes, and the tea is kudzu tea, and you can serve it as usual.”

“Room 3, arrowroot tea… All right.”

At Kang Tae-han’s words, the employee nodded and pressed the button on the one-hour vibration timer. When he said that he could serve it as usual, he said that the guest would wake up in another hour.

That sounds really strange. How do you know when a person will go to bed and wake up?

But like a lie, if you go into the room with refreshments at the time the teacher is talking, you can see the customer who has just woken up. In fact, the guest wakes up at the scheduled time.

Does the bed have a vibrating alert function, or is there an ultrasonic alarm clock in the room?

I’ve looked all over the room out of curiosity, but it was all in vain. Right now, I’m just thinking that people can be like that, so I just move on.

“Ah, come to think of it, the manager found it earlier.”

Kang Tae-han, who was about to leave the room, was stopped by an employee.

“Chief Hwang? What happened?”

“I don’t know… When the teacher comes out later, he told me to stop by the office before going to the waiting room.”

An office is a room where only a computer and a reception table are placed, and is used by Chief Hwang to process work-related documents or occasionally serve customers.

“All right. thanks.”

What’s going on? This is the second time this has happened since a while ago when we additionally raised the bonus rate. Kang Tae-han walked down the hallway, thinking of several possibilities.

smart.

“Chief, this is Kang Tae-han.”

“Taehan is here! come in.”

When I opened the office door and entered, a space with a sofa, table, and a few potted plants appeared.

And Chief Hwang greets Kang Tae-han as he gets up from his seat. On the other side… The guest I met two hours ago, director Oh Jae-yoon of Hanha, was giving a silent bow.

* * *

“Hello, sir. My name is Jae-yoon Oh, who is in charge of the Hanha Hawks.”

“Yes. Nice to meet you, Director. My name is Kang Tae-han, who works as a masseuse here.”

When our eyes met, Oh Jae-yoon first introduced himself and offered a handshake. Kang Tae-han held his hand and lightly bowed his head.

‘The atmosphere has changed in a while.’

During the massage, I even felt a strange sense of intimidation, regardless of my age, which did not match my appearance, but now that feeling has disappeared and only a profound atmosphere remains. I’d say it feels a bit softer.

‘Is it some kind of routine or mindset?’

Even among baseball players, there are many guys whose atmosphere changes only when they enter a game. Things like how his eyes change, or he suddenly uses the dialect of his hometown that he didn’t use before.

Other than that, there are various methods such as putting on a helmet and spinning the bat a couple of times before going to bat, or chewing bubble gum, but they all have one thing in common: ‘to concentrate more on the game’.

If Kang Tae-han’s change of mood is a kind of routine… This is the part where you have more confidence. It means that I do my best to focus on massage.

“Then I will go see business.”

At that time, Chief Hwang, who was standing next to him, put one foot toward the door and said. Then Oh Jae-yoon asked suspiciously.

“Shouldn’t the manager be with you too?”

“haha. What do I need in this place? Taehan’s work is Taehan’s will.”

In a way, it can be a picture of scouting this side’s manpower. That’s why I was saying that Chief Hwang should stay with him and coordinate it… … .

‘If there is a good opportunity, of course I should go.’

I have no intention of blocking Kang Tae-han’s path or forcibly holding him. He is a person who deserves to be treated better, and he is not someone to hold on to. At least, Director Hwang sincerely thought so, so he had no intention of interfering in this matter.

Of course, it would be very embarrassing if I said I would quit today… At least Kang Tae-han, whom he knew, wasn’t that kind of person.

“Ah, Mr. Taehan! Still have to accept the next guest?”

frown Director Hwang left those words with a wink and went out with a thumbs up. I don’t know, but it must have meant cheering him on.

‘As expected, I wasn’t wrong about seeing people.’

Kang Tae-han could vaguely guess what Chief Hwang was thinking when he left his seat.

You can be a little more greedy, and there must be a reason for doing so, but it just means that you will respect your choice. At the heart of it is the desire to do well.

A faint smile appeared on Kang Tae-han’s lips as he understood his feelings.

“Do you remember me?”

There was a brief moment of silence right after Director Hwang left.

It was Oh Jae-yoon who spoke first in the silence.

“Sure. You came as a guest around 3 o’clock, right? You were wearing sunglasses at the time.”

Kang Tae-han said with a light smile, and Oh Jae-yoon scratched his neck shyly. It seems that he already knew who he was.

“haha… By the way, I was very surprised. I thought it was a bit exaggerated, but when I actually received it, it was more than that.”

Oh Jae-yoon said lightly twisting his waist from side to side. As if someone had greased the inside, each muscle in his back moved smoothly.

“By the way, it looks like it’s a difficult situation to give so much time to.”

“Yes, the next guest will be arriving in a little while.”

Kang Tae-han spoke in a polite yet determined voice.

I don’t know if it’s just a guest, but it’s a guest who made a reservation at least a week ago. Due to personal circumstances, I cannot cancel at will, and I have no intention of doing so. After all, this is also a promise.

“okay. Then we’ll get to the point right away.”

hum, hmm Oh Jae-yoon lightly cleared his throat.

“I want the teacher to take a look at our team players. I want to ask for a massage.”

“okay… … .”

Kang Tae-han nodded lightly. In fact, this is what I had roughly guessed from the moment I saw Oh Jae-yoon here. Other than this, there was no other business to call out like this.

“Just in case, you can’t cancel the reservation you already made, right?”

“Yes, on days I work here, it would be difficult to find time for myself.”

At Kang Tae-han’s answer, Oh Jae-yoon nodded. This is part of what I was expecting.

“I would like you to visit our club center about one day a week… According to the manager, Wednesday and Thursday are holidays. Is that correct?”

“Yes, I’m taking two days off like that.”

“then… How about coming over on Thursday? It would be nice if you could come every week, but it would be fine if you could come two or three times a month.”

Wednesday is difficult because of the club’s schedule. Oh Jae-yoon, who handed over the proposal and looked at the reaction by allusion.

However, Kang Tae-han also had a schedule. His head moved left and right.

“I’m sorry, Thursday looks like it will be difficult.”

“uh… Do you have anything else to do?”

“That day, I had to attend class.”

“… yes?”

class? Oh Jae-yoon tilted his head for a moment at the appearance of an unexpected word. Then, he hinted at one of the possibilities that came to his mind.

“Hey, are you a college student?”

“Yes, there is still one semester left. I don’t know about Wednesday, but Thursday must be difficult.”

“ah… Academic… It matters, yes.”

Embarrassed, Oh Jae-yoon stuttered.

Wednesday said it was fine, but Wednesday is not here. then… Should I make reservations for all the players now? It’s cumbersome, but if it doesn’t work out, what should I do?

At that time, Oh Jae-yoon, who was embarrassed at the moment, was lost in thought while thinking of other alternatives.

“But as far as going on a business trip to a professional club… Perhaps the professor will approve attendance.”

Kang Tae-han hinted at a new proposal.

Going on a business trip, earning money, and being able to get credits even if you don’t go to class… such a plan.

“But my professor is a bit strict about attendance, so I don’t know if it will work out if I tell him.”

“… What is the name of the school and professor? We will do everything on our side.”

And Oh Jae-yoon accepted the offer with a snap.
