Cheonma-nim gives a massage episode 309
In an instant, a change occurred in the blood-stained world.
The creation of the world did not occur immediately. It was just that… a faint light began to shine down on the dark world where only blood existed.
This is Kang Tae-han’s mind itself.
Even a moment of agony can break your heart… but on the contrary, it is a place where even a small decision can directly bring about a change in the image itself.
The flowing river water was still a deep blood red. But everything else… little by little, but faintly, was regaining its original color.
After a while, Kang Tae-han’s body floated up.
I had a similar experience last time. That time, I was thrown out of consciousness before I could even understand the situation.
But now it was different. It was just… his body felt infinitely light. A faint light enveloped his body. Kang Taehan had found the answer to the agony he had been struggling with for a long time, and was now leaving this place of his own free will.
“Yeah… Looks like you’re finally ready.”
The voice that had been faintly ringing had now become clear.
The hazy fog that had been hiding his shape had also cleared, allowing Kang Taehan to see his figure clearly.
“… Master.”
The image of a benefactor that existed only in long-standing memories.
He was quietly looking up at the rising Kang Tae-han. This was an imaginary world. It might be an imaginary existence created by his thoughts.
But that doesn’t matter. Kang Tae-han gave an example to his teacher, and the teacher who was watching him smiled and accepted his final greeting.
* * *
“No, so you just left it like that?”
“There’s nothing I can do. I can’t withdraw first.”
“It means that we should have evacuated you by force, not by withdrawal! Come on, I’ll carry you out.”
“Hey, this guy? I told you not to… … ?”
While the rescue workers were arguing over the civilians who had not yet been evacuated, their attention was naturally focused on the civilian, Kang Tae-han, without a word about who should go first.
First, light began to emanate from Kang Tae-han’s body. It was a vivid green light that made one feel vitality and warmth just by looking at it.
Soon, the body of Choi Sung-hyun, who had been lying in front of him, rose into the air. Kang Tae-han reached out his hand toward him, and the green light that had been wrapped around his body began to flow along its path and embrace Choi Sung-hyun’s body.
Time passes in silence like that.
No one moved, and no words were exchanged. It was a mysterious sight that left me speechless, but I could intuitively feel that I must not disturb anyone.
The light that surrounded my body slowly faded away.
The moment when Choi Sung-hyun’s body finally came back down to the ground.
“Uh… what is it?”
Choi Sung-hyun slowly opened his eyes and looked around with a look of confusion. Kang Tae-han looked down at him, sighed softly, and burst into laughter.
“Ugh, you punk with no luck. Are you in a collapsing tunnel because you have nowhere else to go?”
“What? This kid… Ugh!”
He tried to raise his body slightly, but felt tremendous muscle pain all over his body. Choi Sung-hyun let out a scream of pain that was almost like a scream. It was a scream that was literally proof that he was alive.

[The Olympics are being held this month! Last time, they achieved a truly amazing feat of finishing in third place overall. Everyone is curious to see what kind of results they will achieve this year.]
[But apart from that, there is another piece of good news? That famous Cheonma Massage! Starting with this Olympics, Cheonma Massage has become an official partner. Masseuses will be stationed in the lodgings where the athletes will be staying… … .]
Beep.
With a short electronic beep, the TV screen that had been broadcasting the news went dark. At the same time, the man lying on the sofa sat up and spoke nervously.
“Ah, Director Hwang! Why are you turning off the TV while everyone else is watching it?”
“No, Seonghun. Everyone in Cheonma Massage already knows this news, so why are you hearing it on the news again?”
“Talking amongst ourselves and hearing it on the news are two different feelings! Don’t you think so?”
“Sorry, but I don’t want to hear the word ‘Olympic’ for a while. Look at this. I still have this much work to do, and I really need to be listening to this on TV?”
Director Hwang… no, Executive Director Hwang adjusted his glasses and pointed to the corner of the table. There, work from all over the place was piled up.
Seriously, why are there so many things to do?
Work was pouring in nonstop, not only from overseas branches and branches that were just starting to open, but also from places that had already established themselves and were already operating stably.
But the most crucial thing is the Olympics that will be held this year!
The story itself had been around for a long time, and it had been quite some time since we had officially become a partner, but now that the event was just around the corner, the workload had increased several times over.
“What… There are a lot of employees below you now. Can’t you just leave it to them and rest for a while?”
“I’m the one in charge. And with so many employees working, this is all that’s left.”
Executive Director Hwang answered, waving his hands.
Certainly, the number of employees has increased significantly.
In the past, most of the work was handled at the main branch of Cheonma Massage, but after moving to a new building and moving the team separately, the situation was neatly separated.
Massage is provided at the massage parlor, and support and management are provided at the company.
Of course, there were a lot of confusing parts at the time… but now, after a few years, it has settled down and feels like a proper company. It has also grown a lot in size.
Actually, it was a natural thing.
Starting with the successful establishment of the first branch in India, overseas branches began to appear all over the world, including in the UK, the US, China, and Brazil, and the number of large-scale projects currently in progress exceeds ten.
The scale of the business is literally global. The amount of money being managed has also become enormous. It was only natural that the company would grow to handle it.
“If you look at it that way, it doesn’t seem like anything has really changed since Hwang became Executive Director from Director Hwang.”
“Ha… That’s annoying, but I can’t argue with it.”
Thanks to that, Executive Director Hwang was able to achieve a high position, but he was still burdened by work every day. He put down the pen he was holding and stretched as he spoke.
“Still… I guess I’ll have some free time once the Olympics start. I’ll just have to hold on until then.”
“Are you feeling a little sore? Should I give you a massage?”
Kim Seong-hoon slightly extends his hand forward. In an instant, a net-like sensation sweeps across Executive Director Hwang’s body. He tilts his head as if he is puzzled.
“There’s no particular place where they’re all crowded together?”
“Of course. Where is this? It’s the headquarters of Cheonma Massage. Masseuses are always on standby here.”
“Ah… that’s true too.”
Kim Seong-hoon nodded with a look of understanding. Then he sat down, grinning. Then, as if a thought suddenly occurred to him, he spoke up again.
“At that time… … .”
“When then.”
“It was really good that I followed Taehan.”
“iced coffee…….”
Executive Director Hwang sat up straight with a smirk.
“That’s right. And the first person to notice and catch that Taehan was me, this body.”
“Hey, that’s bullshit again.”
“What nonsense are you talking about! I originally came here to work part-time, but I added a premium and raised the settlement rate, so I brought it over separately?”
“Yeah, yeah.”
This is something I’ve heard over and over again.
Kim Seong-hun waved his hand as if he understood everything, then took out his smartphone.
* * *
“Oh, really? Then Seonghyun, are you coming too?”
“Yeah. So that’s the decision.”
Inside a car that has been running on the road for a long time.
To Jeong Ga-in’s question, Choi Sung-hyun answered like this.
“It’s not a simple event, it’s the Olympics. Since it’s our first time working together, we should give it our all! It’s good… Even if Taehan doesn’t do anything himself, it would look good if I go at least.”
All of the masseuses at Cheonma Massage have excellent skills in handling the body, but among them, Kang Tae-han and Choi Seong-hyeon have skills that are on a whole other level.
The fact that one of them was directly dispatched was not only about sending a capable person, but also had a symbolic meaning of placing importance on him and putting in effort.
“Hmm… I see.”
“Why? Does it bother you?”
“Of course I don’t care! If I miss Seong-hyeon locally, I can go see him anytime, haha.”
Jeong Ga-in said that with a faint smile.
“Then you can get a special massage there too.”
“… No, even if it’s you, I’ll only give you a massage as planned. Just enough to bring you into the best condition.”
Even if they are all masseuses at Cheonma Massage, they are not all the same skill level. If a masseuse who just graduated from the academy were to give a massage to Kang Taehan, the results would be drastically different.
It’s not a problem that usually comes into play, but… when it comes to cooperation with the Olympics, it’s a different story. It’s bound to be far from a fair competition.
Therefore, the standard was clearly set.
Just enough to be in the best condition when going into a match. It may seem vague at first glance, but it’s not really like that. It’s about loosening up the muscles of the whole body and clearing blocked energy and blood. That’s all you need to do.
And this standard also applies to his lover, Jung Ga-in. It might be a little disappointing, but Choi Sung-hyun said it clearly and firmly.
“Hmm? That’s not what we were talking about?”
However, Jeong Ga-in shook her head as if to say that it was not true.
“Then what is it?”
“You know, the special massage I gave you last time. That’s what I was talking about.”
Seong-Hyeon Choi was deep in thought while holding the steering wheel. Suddenly, he realized what she was saying and lightly ran his right hand over his hair. Although he didn’t turn his head, he could clearly see what kind of expression she was making.
“Why are your ears red?”
“I originally had red ears.”
“But it wasn’t like that?”
Seong-Hyeon Choi answered in a deliberately indifferent voice and quietly stared ahead. Then, when he discovered something, he slowly slowed down and asked.
“Can I pull over for a moment?”
“Hmm? Oh… Okay, I’m off.”
A car parked in a corner with its emergency lights on.
It didn’t look like there had been an accident… Judging from the tilt of the car body, it seemed like the car was stuck in a ditch. I got out of the car and approached, and sure enough, one of the wheels was stuck in the drainage ditch on the side.
“Can I help you?”
“Oh my, thank you for your kind words, but it doesn’t budge. I don’t know who broke the lid, but it just went in and is stuck in there, not moving at all.”
The driver, who was stamping his feet impatiently next to him, waved his hand as if telling Choi Sung-hyun not to talk nonsense.
“Oh, my son’s wedding is today… … .”
“Can I take a look for a moment?”
“Well… there’s no way it won’t work.”
Although he asked to see, Choi Sung-hyun went to the place where the wheel had come off and immediately grabbed the bottom of the car with both hands. It didn’t take long.
“Shut up.”

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
The body of the car flashes immediately and is heard.
Somehow, not only the part that was lifted, but the entire car was lifted, and soon it was lifted into the road without a ditch as if nothing had happened.
“I think it’ll be okay now.”
“Uh, uh… thank you… … ?”
Choi Sung-hyun walked to his car, shaking his hands, and the man looked at his back, dumbfounded. Then, as if an idea suddenly occurred to him, he stopped him and shouted.
“Teacher, is that the guy? The guy who was on the news a few years ago, the guy who lifted the collapsing tunnel!”
“Ah… yes. That’s right. Take care.”
Seonghyeon Choi paused with an embarrassed expression, but he greeted her skillfully as if he was used to it, and left.

Cheonma massage.
Although it had been rapidly gaining recognition even before then, it has gained worldwide recognition in the past few years starting with its official collaboration with the Olympics.
Moreover, for those who have visited even once, the trust in the name Cheonma Anma was absolute.
All of the shop’s masseuses have completed training at a separately operated professional training facility, and are evaluated as having excellent massage skills in a traditional system, as well as utilizing a new concept called Ki-gam (氣感), which is a massage of a different level that cannot be felt anywhere else.
At first, when you see these reviews, you think, ‘Can it really be that much?’, but it is also famous for always ending up tasting something better than that.
In the industry, it is being praised as a pioneer in expanding and creating a craze for massage culture, and even as a revolution in health care that has raised the standard of living of modern people.
And Kang Tae-han, known as the president and founder of Cheonma Massage, is a being with countless legends.
It is said that he can raise up the paralyzed, instantly cure patients with long-term incurable diseases, and even bring the dead back to life.
Of course, the general judgment was that most of these were exaggerated rumors… but if you think about it another way, it could also mean that the masseuse Kang Tae-han is so skilled that such rumors are circulating.
However, apart from those rumors.
Kang Tae-han himself was living a daily life that was not much different from before.
* * *
“Father, how are things going these days?”
[Oh my, it’s going too well. There are so many customers coming in that I have to just make noodles for the day.]
Kang Tae-han chuckled at his father’s words.
The voice of Kang Ho-yeon, the father who spoke like that, was so cheerful. Just by listening to the tone of his voice, I could clearly feel that it was the truth without a single lie.
“I’m glad that you look so good just from hearing your voice.”
[It’s all thanks to you, huh? Haha! The ginseng tea you sent me last time, the staff and I are drinking it during break time. Everyone is raving about how it’s giving us a lot of energy.]
“I’ll have to send it again next time.”
[Okay. If you really have some left, send it to me then.]
“I say this because I have a lot left.”
[Haha, is that so?]
A long-awaited phone call with my father.
The content itself is almost always the same, just small talk, but hearing my father’s happy voice always makes me smile.
“Father, I’ll contact you again later.”
[Oh, okay. Take it easy.]
Then, feeling a certain presence, he ends the call and slowly prepares to leave. As expected, soon, an employee knocks on the door and enters the director’s office.
“Director, a guest arrived a little early.”
“Yes. I will go right away.”
Since he had already finished preparing, Kang Tae-han immediately got up from his seat.
After breaking free from the long-standing agony that had bound me.
Kang Tae-han was able to enter the realm of life and death. Although he had only just taken one step out of the entrance, he had clearly entered the next realm.
As the name suggests, it is a realm that transcends life and death.
The realm of consciousness that can be felt has changed, and the perspective from which one views and feels the world has also changed significantly. Clearly, many things have changed.
However, his daily life did not change much.
Cheonma Massage was still growing smoothly, and Kang Tae-han himself was personally receiving customers and giving massages as a masseuse.
There’s no need to do anything grandiose.
There is no need to shoulder a great sense of mission.
I just spend each day faithfully, and slowly walk down the path I believe is right.
And… that’s enough.
At least for Kang Tae-han now, it was the most satisfying life, and it was the most reliable and sure way to carry on his teacher’s will… no, to achieve his goal, which had now become his dream.
“Let’s see… … .”
Kang Tae-han, who entered the room, lightly opened his eyes. Then, he gently placed his hand on the guest’s back.
Soon, as usual, someone’s screams filled with pain began to spread through the hallways of Cheonma Massage.
* * *
Back when martial arts and chivalry were still the norms of the world.
There was a man on that land whose name was Cheonma.
He overcame numerous adversities to reach the top.
All I could do was regret that I couldn’t turn back the path I had taken.
The name alone evoked both fear and awe.
I never once wished for it myself.
The Cheonma, who had such a great reputation, went into seclusion one day, and from some point on, he suddenly disappeared, and no one could find him anywhere.
More than a thousand years have passed since then.
After wandering for a long time, Cheonma finally found a new path for himself there, and soon his name spread throughout the world as a name that was not feared or respected, but rather received gratitude and respect from everyone.
– The Heavenly Demon gives you a massage. Done.
* * *
“Ta-da!”
After finishing the massage, Kang Tae-han returned to the director’s office.
This was the last customer, so I should be getting ready to leave work now… But when I opened the door and went inside, a completely different sight than usual unfolded before me.
“… Ms. Sea?”
First of all, he is an unexpected guest.
“What is all this all of a sudden?”
And the room was decorated so cutely.
After getting a massage and coming back, Kang Tae-han had been away for about 30 minutes. It wasn’t a very small space, but it was still quite spacious… I was confused as to how he had managed to do all this in that time.
“What is it! It’s a surprise event!”
“Today is our anniversary, but… … .”
“Huh? So Taehan remembered you too?”
“Yes. That’s the day we officially started dating.”
Today is October 24th.
There was no need to check the calendar. Kang Tae-han was also preparing a separate event. He sat down on the sofa with a smirk, and Yoo Se-ah naturally sat across from him.
“No, I didn’t hear anything until that day… I thought you were busy and forgot. You’re really busy.”
“I didn’t forget, of course.”
Kang Tae-han answered as if it was obvious. Yoo Se-ah smiled at those words, took out a cake from under the table, placed it on top, and continued speaking.
“Anyway, I didn’t prepare anything grandiose. It was just a surprise event, and I had this cake custom-made.”
Yoo Se-ah spoke as if it was nothing special. For some reason, it felt like she was trying to comfort Kang Tae-han, who hadn’t prepared anything.
And, that thought felt a bit unfair to Kang Tae-han.
Kang Tae-han asked in a subtle manner while crossing his arms.
“Sea, can I have a surprise event for you too?”
“Surprise event… …? When?”
“That’s right now.”
At those words, Yoo Se Ah burst out laughing.
It was because it was nonsense in many ways, even though the basic condition for a surprise event is that you have to prepare without knowing it.
“What do you mean, Taehan?”
“Did you really prepare it?”
“Then give it a try.”
Kang Tae-han smiled faintly at Yoo Se-ah’s words.
Then, he slowly extended his right hand, which had been hidden under the table. There was a small box in it. It looked like… … .
“no way…….”
“Do you remember when we decided to officially start dating?”
“… Yes? Well… … .”
That day when they went to see a movie together, Yoo Se-ah asked directly, “What is our relationship?” and Kang Tae-han asked back, “Aren’t we already dating?”
“Of course I remember.”
A day when we were both a bit awkward.
At the time, I was a bit embarrassed in many ways, but now that I look back, it’s a memory. Yoo Se-ah smiled as she recalled the memory from back then and answered.
“You must have felt really indecisive back then, right?”
“Haha, that’s right.”
“So… I’ve been thinking about making this clear for a long time.”
Kang Tae-han opened the small box he was holding in his right hand.
There was a ring in there. Its meaning… There was no way Yu Se Ah wouldn’t know. She stared blankly at the ring, then looked at Kang Tae Han.
“I hope that in the future, Sea will always be by my side, and I will always be by Sea’s side.”
“ah…….”
“Would you please accept it?”
Kang Tae-han asked in a cautious voice. Now it was Yoo Se-ah’s turn to answer. She remained silent for a while, then spoke in a smiling voice.
“This is… a surprise event.”
Certainly, it was an event that would be surprising even if it happened right in front of her. Kang Tae-han only smiled faintly at her words. He was still waiting for her answer.
“Okay, Taehan.”
The two looked at each other with smiles.
The first to move was Kang Tae-han. He carefully picked up the ring and put it on Yoo Se-ah’s finger.
Yoo Se Ah hugged him like that, and Kang Tae Han lifted her up. It was a night that would be remembered for a long time.
