The Heavenly Demon Gives a Massage chapter 52

Cho Chan-hyeok could not understand the current situation.

I’m sure, just a moment ago, my head hurt like it would break, and my heart was beating like it was going to explode, so much so that I lost my consciousness… Now, like a lie, the symptoms have alleviated.

Of course, my physical condition wasn’t completely improved yet, and I was sweating cold sweats, but compared to the situation when I collapsed unconscious a moment ago, it was just as calm as a calm lake.

Truly a pleasure.

Cho Chan-hyeok took a moment to catch his breath and looked at the face of the man sitting next to him.

A young man kneeling on one knee and resting his hand on the nape of his neck. I don’t know, but I had a hunch that this miraculous phenomenon must have been helped by this young man.

“Take a deep breath. It will help.”

On the other hand, the expression of the young man, Kang Tae-han, was calm. There was no sign of nervousness, no elation that he was doing something great.

A calm expression, as if it was nothing special.

If this was a scene from a movie, it would have been an expression that didn’t suit him enough to point out the acting, saying, “Is this expression appropriate for this situation?”

Do you really feel like it’s not a big deal?

In addition, there was even a profound weight in the voice that I did not know why, and a strange trust was conveyed calmly.

“Whoa… … .”

“good.”

Cho Chan-hyeok quietly takes a deep breath following the young man’s words.

At that time, Kang Tae-han gently pressed the acupoint on the back of his hand with his hand raised, and pulled out all the takgi that was pooled in the upper part.

Soon after, the complexion slowly began to brighten as the complexion slowly returned to Cho Chan-hyuk’s face.

‘Is it almost finished?’

The heartbeat, the flow of blood that had become rough, and the energy of the upper stage, which had been disturbed by takki, all became stable.

Of course, it was only an emergency measure, and it didn’t treat the fundamental part, but… At least most of the urgent symptoms caused by the seizures have been resolved.

‘What happened… … .’

Meanwhile, the cameraman standing next to him was watching the series of events blankly with his camera down.

By the time Cho Chan-hyeok collapsed on the floor and was about to fall to the side… Suddenly, at some point, that young man came up to me, and he put his hand on the nape of his neck, supporting Chan-hyeok Cho from the side.

Then about thirty seconds passed, and now the situation.

The cameraman had been watching the whole situation from the time Cho Chan-hyeok collapsed until now, but that didn’t mean he could understand what had happened.

‘I think you had a little panic disorder with a migraine… … .’

Just a moment ago, I had been stomping my feet, unable to do anything other than call 911, but now I was just dumbfounded.

“excuse me.”

“Ah, yes!”

At that time, Kang Tae-han called the cameraman. Perhaps because the situation was the situation, a nervous voice came out.

“Do you have any water?”

“Water? Yes.”

A variety show cameraman always chases after performers and has to force himself to run and run depending on the situation. Adequate hydration is one of the basics. He took out an unopened bottle of mineral water from his vest pocket and held it up.

“thank you.”

Kang Tae-han greeted him with his eyes and accepted the bottled water. And he said, removing his hand from the nape of Cho Chan-hyuk’s neck.

“Looks like the urgency has passed. If you drink some water and rest, I wonder if an ambulance will come.”

“… Ah, yes.”

Originally, you shouldn’t rush to drink water when you have a panic attack, but Cho Chan-hyeok calmly accepted the bottled water offered by Kang Tae-han.

“Haaa.”

When I opened the lid and carefully took a sip, a sigh escaped from my mouth. It felt as if vitality was seeping into my body, which had been leaking out in a cold sweat.

‘lived… … .’

After quenching my throat, it was only then that I realized it. It means that the sudden crisis disappeared like a lie. Cho Chan-hyuk let out a short sigh and turned his head again to express his gratitude.

“Well?”

But no one was there.

Have you ever seen a ghost? Looking around, fortunately, I was able to find the back of my benefactor. He must have left immediately, and was far away.

“Teacher! Wait!”

Although his energy had not fully returned yet, Cho Chan-hyeok staggered from his seat and walked towards his benefactor. Fortunately, Kang Tae-han must have heard the call and stopped in place and looked back.

“What are you doing?”

“Just go! without saying anything.”

“I was on my way to exercise.”

At Cho Chan-hyuk’s words, Kang Tae-han shrugged and replied. In response, Cho Chan-hyuk made an absurd expression without knowing it. He was then able to understand.

I thought he was doing it on purpose to reassure himself that he was making a calm expression, but he was really just thinking of it as a simple task, at the level of helping out for a while on the road.

That’s why he probably had no intention of mentioning compensation or receiving thanks. Before Cho Chan-hyeok burst into admiration, he felt a touch of emotion in his broad heart.

“… Teacher, at least tell me your name.”

“ah. Come to think of it, it would be nice.”

As Cho Chan-hyuk asked, Kang Tae-han also nodded and took out a small wallet from his chest.

A business card holder that holds about twenty business cards.

Kang Tae-han smiled and handed over his business card.

“I stopped halfway today because I had no time and no place, but if you need more help, come here.”

“… You had a massage.”

When Cho Chan-hyeok looked down at his business card and said, Kang Tae-han nodded once and said as if adding:

“Maybe it will be difficult to make a reservation for a while… Well, please contact me in advance and I will look after you if you come after 7:00.”

Enough then. After Kang Tae-han said that, he started to go back. Cho Chan-hyeok looked at her back with a dumbfounded expression.

‘Does that mean that I just looked after you a little because of the situation?’

The nuance that sounds like that.

Cho Chan-hyeok scratched the side of his head with a blank expression and looked down at the business card in his hand.

“It’s Kang Tae-han… … .”

Kang Tae-han, Kang Tae-han.

He repeated the name three or four times as if he were memorizing a script, then carefully put the business card in his wallet.

* * *

[Mr. Taehan! Did you meet Chanhyuk Cho yesterday?]

[I was surprised to hear that he collapsed during filming, but when I asked him, he said he survived thanks to a precious relationship. Hearing that, I thought of Taehan for some reason, is that right?]

Underneath it was an emoticon that a pink rabbit was urging. Kang Tae-han burst out laughing and replied, ‘Probably so.’

The day before, after the meeting with Cho Chan-hyuk, Kang Tae-han just lived a normal life. After working out at the fitness club, I would go home, take an elixir, and fall asleep.

However, after waking up, I skim through the internet news as usual.

[National actor Cho Chan-hyuk, poor condition? passed out on the street.]

[Cho Chan-hyeok, recurrence of panic disorder while filming Blemish. With the help of a passing citizen, he managed to regain his senses.]

Articles about this. It didn’t become a hot topic enough to come up on the main page, but there were still three or four articles with similar content.

And just by looking at the title, Kang Tae-han intuitively realized that what happened yesterday had been reported.

‘There were a lot of people gathered there, though.’

People gather even when ordinary people fall down on the street, but it was only natural that celebrities would fall down. I haven’t checked it out, but it must have spread a bit on social media, so it would be rather strange that there were no articles.

‘But, well, it won’t be noisy.’

The articles focused on the fact that Cho Chan-hyeok had collapsed, and Kang Tae-han appeared as a courageous citizen who gave a helping hand while walking down the street.

It was a natural interpretation.

It wasn’t like a full-fledged massage, from the outside it would only look like she supported the fallen person from the side and supported her neck.

The part that Kang Tae-han intended.

Anyway, it just didn’t matter to Kang Tae-han. Kang Tae-han leaned back in the driver’s seat and stretched out his arms lightly.

“Guest number 127! The drink you ordered is here!”

After waiting for a while, it’s your turn.

A takeout carrier containing two cups of coffee was passed through the window, and Kang Tae-han received it and put it on the passenger seat. It was my first time using the drive-thru, so I felt strange.

‘Let’s go now.’

Taehan Kang is now in Daejeon. When I called my father on the way down from Seoul, he said, ‘I’m at the store, so go home first’.

However, if you have a car, the store is just a stop by on the way home, so I stopped by to buy a cup of coffee that my father likes.

Arriving at the store like that, I opened the door without much thought and went inside… … .

“Father, I am here… … .”

“hey! It’s Taehan! Let’s ask Taehan directly, huh?”

As soon as I entered, a familiar man pointed at Kang Tae-han and raised an excited voice. Then one of the people next to me looked at me and stood up.

Kim and Choi. The two people who had argued last time over who was closer to Taehan were gathered here again.

“Taehan, long time no see! Do you remember Uncle? You gave me pocket money on your first vacation, and I bought you pizza and chicken for the entrance ceremony!”

“… haha. Of course I remember.”

Kang Tae-han naturally nodded, but of course he couldn’t remember.

However, it was not an atmosphere of lying, and it was a voice that seemed to appeal for some reason, so I just did my best to match the atmosphere.

“Your uncle also gave me pocket money on vacation days, remember? It seems like yesterday when Minsu and you went to the giraffe class in the same kindergarten, but so many years have passed since then. Isn’t it?”

“that… I see.”

It was the moment when I rediscovered the class name of the kindergarten I attended 60 years ago that I had forgotten. Kang Tae-han smiled awkwardly and looked around. Then, he met eyes with his father, who sighed lightly.

“What is it, Father?”

“… sorry. After bragging about you, you say you want to get a massage from each other.”

“Aha… … .”

Even if you don’t have to do that, if you are an acquaintance of your father, you can do that much. Kang Tae-han, who read the situation roughly, scratched his head.

‘And the first vacation allowance is special.’

I don’t remember the details, but thanks to that, I do have memories of returning to the base after a rather plentiful vacation. If so, isn’t it reasonable to pay back what you have received?

“Who can I start watching?”

When Kang Tae-han approached a nearby table and pulled out a chair, Mr. Kim smiled and said,

“Take someone more likeable first.”

“Then me.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Uh-huh, this person really is.”

“… Just play rock-paper-scissors.”

It was Kang Tae-han who threw a word because he couldn’t see it.

“Jesu, how are you feeling these days?”

A small cafe located near Daejeon Paik Hospital.

After taking a sip of the coffee he had just received, Park Ho-yeon asked the party opposite. It was a voice with a little concern for simply asking how to do it.

“I am getting a lot better.”

Then, a woman in elegant clothes sitting across from me smiled brightly and said,

It was Park Ho-yeon, who is in charge of the hospital director of Paik Hospital, and Chae Seo-yoon, the wife of his close friend Shin Jun-ho.

Chae Seo-yoon said that in a bright voice, but a sad smile formed on Park Ho-yeon’s face.

‘You always have the same answer.’

Chae Seo-yoon suffered from chronic joint pain, scoliosis, and pelvic distortion at the same time.

Because of this, it was constantly painful in places, and if the symptoms overlapped, I had to take painkillers… Even so, it seldom shows off to others like this.

It may be because of her personality that she doesn’t usually say things she regrets, but rather than that, it must have been something she said out of consideration for Hoyeon Park herself.

Because she had been receiving treatment here, at Paik Hospital, for two years.

However, as is the case with this type of disease, there was little progress, and even though Park Ho-yeon paid attention to himself, nothing changed significantly.

It was a part that became a burden to Park Ho-yeon himself.

“… If so, I’m glad.”

However, at most, the patient is giving off a bright atmosphere, but he cannot spoil it. Park Ho-yeon smiled and took another sip of coffee.

“Ah, by the way, Mr. Hoyeon.”

“Yes?”

“Have you ever met Taehan?”

… uh.

Hearing the name she said, it was Park Ho-yeon who thought of the possibility.
