“… Whoa.”

Seonghun Kim let out a small exclamation as he put down the drink he had just drank. He looks a bit tired for some reason. Choi Seong-hyeon and Hwang Tae-jin, who were sitting across from him, also looked slightly slumped, as if they had lost their energy.

“Everyone worked hard today.”

Kang Tae-han, the only one with a lively face among them, brought out drinks and snacks for the other three and smiled.

Seonghun Kim, Sunghyun Choi, and Taejin Hwang. The three of them had just finished taking lessons from Kang Tae-han from early afternoon until after the sun had set.

Actually, the class itself wasn’t that tight.

Kang Tae-han first demonstrates to each of the three people, then practices with each other following the demonstration, giving and receiving feedback, and if necessary, Kang Tae-han gives more explanations or demonstrates one more time.

The class itself was loose, as I was able to freely take breaks in the middle, and even if I was a little tired, when I received a massage from Kang Tae-han as a demonstration, my body was energized like a lie.

Because of this, the body was light without a hint of fatigue.

However… … .

“Somehow my condition… It is a strange feeling that I am experiencing for the first time.”

“I think I know what you mean.”

To Hwang Tae-jin’s muttering words while moving his shoulders, Choi Seong-hyun, who was next to him, nodded and replied.

I’m sure I’ve been taking classes for a long time and my mind is a bit tired, but my body feels so light and refreshing that I feel awkward.

Of course, if you ask whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing, it belongs to the good thing… Still, there is a slight sense of discord between the mind and body.

“I feel fine right now, but my head is a bit tired, right?”

On the other hand, Kang Tae-han hinted in a light voice as if he had already guessed. Then, the three of them bruised for a moment, then nodded without asking who said first.

“The class was focused on that, so it makes sense.”

He said he received a massage from Kang Tae-han, but that was just a demonstration for class, so the massage continued on the body only.

Of course, it’s bound to be a bit out of balance.

Kang Tae-han got up from his seat with a smile on his lips, went behind Hwang Tae-jin and lightly held his head with both hands.

Then, with his thumb, he began to press the wind-chial points located on both sides of the back of his head.

“Agguk.”

A pain that feels like pressing on a tight muscle.

He must have been surprised at the moment, and he made a strange noise for a moment at the pain, but after a while, he opened his eyes wide with a curious expression on his face.

‘… what.’

A feeling of release of strength throughout the body.

However, it wasn’t a bad feeling of being drained as if your legs were losing strength, but it was a comfortable feeling, as if you were lying on the bed and gradually losing strength.

Not only that, I felt that something clogged in my head was released, and I felt that my blood circulation was smoothed out and my exhausted mind was slowly clearing.

‘Acupressure is said to have this much effect at once?’

Judging by the feeling, the place where the acupressure is entering is Fungjihyeol.

It is said to have the effect of facilitating blood circulation in the head, clearing the head and brightening the eyes at the same time.

It is one of the representative acupoints located on the side of the head, and Hwang Tae-jin also often gives acupressure to customers complaining of headaches… … .

Still, it was far beyond his common sense that the effect of acupressure appeared so fast and so immediately that he could feel it.

‘At this level, I think I can understand why guests fret over not being able to make reservations… … .’

Poongji (Wind Earth) Point, and from there to the Tianju (天柱) Point located slightly inside. It was a short time, maybe three minutes, but in that short time, Hwang Tae-jin had a very satisfying and efficient break.

“How are you now?”

“… it’s totally cool I think I just woke up from a good night’s sleep.”

Hwang Tae-jin nodded his head from side to side and shook his shoulders as if he was curious.

The body that was already light and the head that is now light.

The sense of difference between the body and mind that had remained until just a moment ago disappeared completely, leaving only a refreshing sense of refreshment.

“Is that enough?”

“I think I just slapped my neck… … .”

Kim Seong-hoon and Choi Seong-hyun, who watched the scene, responded as if they were mixed in half with doubt and anticipation.

They were curious because it was an effect that would be hard to believe until they received it themselves, and they had expectations because it seemed that they would receive it right after the situation.

“I’m glad you’re feeling better.”

On the other hand, at Hwang Tae-jin’s reaction, Kang Tae-han smiled and said, Then he added a few words at the end.

“Since you have to come out tomorrow, it would be better for you to recover as much as possible before leaving.”

“uh?”

Hwang Tae-jin looked at Kang Tae-han with a puzzled expression. Then, he looked at Seonghun Kim and Seonghyeon Choi in turn.

“okay? Was it like that?”

“What is it, Mr. Hwang? Wasn’t it like that?”

“KakaoTalk says to free up some time on weekdays until the opening day.”

At Choi Seong-hyun’s words, Hwang Tae-jin took out his smartphone and checked KakaoTalk. Certainly, there was something like that left.

“… I knew why you told me to leave it empty for today.”

“Do you have any appointments?”

“No, it’s not like that.”

He replied scratching his head with an embarrassed expression.

Then until the opening day, about a week, will you continue to take classes like this? In a situation where he had to suddenly decide on a week’s worth of schedule, Hwang Tae-jin pondered for a while and then opened his mouth in a low voice.

“then… Can you squeeze my neck a little longer?”

He said that while stroking the nape of his neck.

Kang Tae-han’s class itself was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity as a masseuse, and he was even given special treatment as an artisan course.

But should I use this as an excuse to ask for more massages… It was Hwang Tae-jin who was thinking about it.

“Of course I can do that much.”

“Hmm. Then a little more shoulders… … .”

At the same time, Hwang Tae-jin put a hand on his shoulder with a shy expression and said. It was a voice full of lust.

* * *

“Is this how you do it?”

“No, it was more like this there.”

Kim Seong-hun and Hwang Tae-jin try acupressure with each other, recalling what they learned last time.

“To tell you my opinion while getting a massage, the feeling of the two of you is a bit different from Taehan’s, isn’t it?”

Choi Seong-hyun, who was lying face down on the bed for the role of a practice target between the two, raised his upper body and presented another opinion.

It’s the third day since Kang Tae-han started class.

The skills of the three people who were in charge of the artisan course were growing day by day.

This was because they taught mainly things that were easy to learn and effective to become Kang Tae-han, but the speed of growth was possible because all three of them had interest, passion, and sufficient potential from the beginning.

“Ah, what should I do? I think it would be a bit difficult to make a reservation for Mr. Kang on the weekend.”

Meanwhile, the three of them and Kang Tae-han were not the only ones in the store.

Manager Hwang had also come to the store the day before and was spending a hectic time doing paperwork and receiving reservation inquiries.

“Next Tuesday? Even that day was completely full… Yes, reservations are already crowded, so I think it will be difficult to make a reservation for next week unless it is around morning time.”

Even now, there is a reservation inquiry about Kang Tae-han. However, Kang Tae-han’s Cheonma course is already fully booked, so he cannot take it.

However, that doesn’t mean Chief Hwang will just end the inquiry with a refusal.

“Mr. Kang’s Cheonma course is a bit difficult to book, but… Then why not take the artisan course? It’s not that Mr. Kang is in charge, but there are some masseuses that Mr. Kang personally selects and teaches.”

When you can’t have what you wanted, a person feels deep regret and even a little impatience.

If you’re promoting something, that’s the most effective and appropriate timing. It was Director Hwang who did not miss this time and recommended a pheasant instead of a phoenix.

“In the artisan course, the time zone that the teacher first inquired about was completely empty… … . Yes, it’s not as good as Mr. Kang’s, but his skills are quite good.”

Director Hwang looked sideways toward the break room and said. I already knew that those three people were constantly coming to the store and taking classes diligently.

“Yes, I will see you then. No, thank you very much. have a good day!”

Then, it is your role to diligently attach customers so that you can achieve that much. Director Hwang put down his smartphone and added an additional line to the reservation table for the artisanal course with a smile.

“How is the reservation situation?”

“I guess I don’t have to worry.”

When Kang Tae-han approached and asked a hint, Chief Hwang shrugged lightly and displayed a reservation ticket on the screen.

Not to mention Kang Tae-han’s, and the three people in the artisan course had quite a lot of reservations.

“As expected, bringing the manager was the answer.”

Kang Tae-han’s reservation was filled like this because the loyalty of the regulars was so high. However, it is safe to say that the reservations for the artisan course were actually the merits of Chief Hwang.

“You say everything. Rather, look at this.”

Chief Hwang pressed the screen of his smartphone a few times and showed it to Kang Tae-han with a grin. There was a search for the name of the shop, Cheonma Massage, on famous social media.

“There are quite a few articles mentioned?”

“Among the regulars, there were a few customers who worked hard on uploading here. Because they upload… It stretched like a spider web.”

It wasn’t a particularly intentional part, but it was like promoting the store on its own without knowing it.

“It’s something I’m really grateful for.”

“right. As for us… Oh, there’s a call.”

Director Hwang gestured sorry to Kang Tae-han and immediately answered the phone. Sure enough, this time it seems to be a reservation inquiry. Kang Tae-han avoided his seat and went back to the break room.

The skills of the three people in charge of the artisan course are growing steadily, and the reservations of customers are being filled with ease.

One day, two days, four days.

Time passed and when the store finally opened.

“… Oh, Seokwoo. Yes, nothing else.”

Director Hwang, who was staring at the lobby, called with a slightly dazed expression. The person on the phone was an acquaintance of Director Hwang and one of the masseuses in charge of the general course.

“Can you go to work today?”

The commercial district in the building has not yet been activated, and it will take some time for existing customers to come.

That was Director Hwang’s decision, and because of that, the other masseuses, except Taehan Kang and the three master craftsman course, scheduled to go to work after some time… … .

“There are more guests than expected, so… yes.”

There were more guests sitting in the lobby than Director Hwang expected, and new guests were just opening the door and coming in.

* * *

“Oh, manager. Are you out?”

“Chief Park! This is a lot of trouble.”

The first floor of the building where Kang Tae-han’s shop is located.

The man who exchanged greetings with an employee he met by chance smiled happily and patted him on the shoulder.

“What are you doing today?”

“I just need to check something.”

The Liner Hotel will be used from the 5th to the 19th floors of this building. And this man, Kwak Sang-yeong, was the one who was appointed general manager of the hotel.

“Then why did Team Leader Park come out?”

“The facility team is very busy right now, well.”

“but… That’s right.”

The two chatted and walked towards the elevator. When he got on the elevator like that, Kwak Sang-young suddenly remembered a curious part and opened his mouth alludedly.

“Are there any shops open in the building?”

It hasn’t been long since the building was completed, and the shops are just getting ready to move in.

However, people wandering around caught my eye from time to time, and four or five people walked out of the elevator that had opened a moment ago.

“As far as I know, there are only three right now.”

“okay? Two of them will be a cafe and bakery on the first floor.”

Recalling the two shops he had seen as he entered the entrance, Kwak Sang-young raised two fingers. However, since the two shops are right near the entrance, it seemed unlikely that customers who came there would go into the building.

“What about the rest? Where did you get the restaurant from?”

If so, it means that the other store is already attracting customers. Kwak Sang-young asked in a curious voice.

“This is a massage shop.”

“… A massage shop?”

Looking back, I remember hearing it. Since there is a massage shop on top of the hotel, it can be used positively for the hotel, such as a sauna and fitness club.

This was what the planning team said at the last meeting.

“It must have been a massage restaurant, not just a restaurant.”

Kwak Sang-yeong muttered that and thought for a moment.

It’s a massage shop. Certainly, it was an element that could be positively linked. If that is the case, it would be better to visit and make a decision in person.

‘I’ve been feeling a bit unwell lately.’
