Chapter 74 – Episode 74
“Shin Yong-seop is here? “Why?”
“Why, why? I told you this before. “I told you that that person would come here to bring you down somehow.”
But why is it today? Because today is an important contract day.
Choi Won-jae also knew this, so he seemed even more troubled. He scratched his head and said to me:
“I told you to let me know as soon as you came in, right? So, let’s just finish the contract quickly and go see Shin Yong-seop.”
But that was right then. I heard someone coming down the stairs upstairs. I unconsciously looked in that direction and could see my toes slowly descending. Time began to flow slowly, as if it had stopped. Even without Choi Won-jae telling me, I knew that the person responsible for those steps was Shin Yong-seop.
I could see his knees and finally his upper waist.
What I thought was a very chubby guy, but he turned out to be a tall handsome guy.
“I see you’re here? Is that Mr. Kang Jun-hyeon?”
I couldn’t answer right away and just stood there blankly.
“Uh… So.”
As the original plan went awry, Choi Won-jae also stumbled.
Shin Yong-seop, looking more relaxed, stood right in front of me and placed both hands on his waist.
He was wearing a suit just like the one I’m wearing now, a beige suit that was much lighter than the black one I was wearing. When he placed his hand on his waist, the back hem of his suit fluttered up and fell.
“Is what Kang Jun-hyeon said true?”
“…Yes?”
“Is what I said in the interview true?”
“What are you talking about?”
“I guess it’s true.”
Shin Yong-seop finished his sentence and frowned.
I don’t know why I did that either. Even though it was too easy to say that I didn’t mean it, I didn’t say anything.
Did I subconsciously want to rebel? To this perfect-looking man standing in front of me.
“Shall we take a look at your skills today? “Director.”
“Skill? By what method?”
“Since you came to the shop, all you have to do is choose the method that suits you. What else do masseuses need to check their skills? For example, no matter how much you think about it, it is impossible for employees to go shopping.”
Shin Yong-seop glanced at the shopping bags Shin Seol and I brought.
“Oh, this is…”
“Well, it has nothing to do with me. “I thought you were talking about a contract earlier.”
Choi Won-jae and I were surprised at the same time.
Even if you have sharp ears, our conversation probably wouldn’t have been heard upstairs. Did they at least install a listening device?
“Is this him?”
Shin Yong-seop looked Han Seo-yeon up and down once.
“It’s our sphere, right? Han Seo-yeon… Is that right?”
“Mr. Shin Yong-seop? Are you on that TV?”
“Oh, yes. Nice to meet you. I gave you a few massages last time. “It was difficult to make any more reservations because you hid the fact that you have a dog at home.”
“I didn’t trick you… I just didn’t tell you.”
“Well, stop talking about the past. This person has already received my massage, so it will be easy to compare. Is there anyone who has ever received a massage from Junhyeon Kang here? Do you have any?”
The only women at the counter right now are Han Seo-yeon and Shin Seol. However, Shin Yong-seop clearly decided on a target and waited for an answer. I had a rough idea of what his personality would be.
Shin Yong-seop watched her for a while, and then suddenly she raised her head and their eyes met. Shin Seol, started, crouched down and looked at her. I guess I was thinking of something else.
“Me, me?”
It seems like I answered without knowing anything, but it is correct. It was a short massage, but a massage was a massage anyway.
“Then that’s it. Let’s do it like this. Kang Jun-hyeon will massage Han Seo-yeon and I will massage this person. Let’s massage for 30 minutes and then change it. This will make comparison easier than ever. Then, the two ladies can give a ticket to the masseuse they liked.”
Then, Shin, who had been listening quietly, snorted and said, as if Seol had figured out the situation.
“If that happens, of course I will take Mr. Junhyeon’s side. Are you an employee of our shop?”
“Oh, the order is random. We’ll give you a rear end massage and no one will know which of us went in first. “We will prevent tricks such as showing the face or telling people verbally through video recording.”
“Ah…”
“Shooting a video? “There’s no reason for us to agree to filming, right?”
“Some shops actually film for safety reasons. There won’t be any problem at all. “Unless there is some kind of sexual activity inside.”
It was hot, damn it.
Now that I think about it, I wonder if all the massages I’ve had were pseudo-sexual acts. Even though it barely crosses the cutoff level, it is still an erotic touch that makes a woman think of sexual intercourse.
Yes. Maybe the massage I had was not a real massage.
Shin Yong-seop, who thoroughly studied the basics, must have also learned advanced joint treatment techniques. He was probably angry because he was humiliated by me.
In fact, it wouldn’t be surprising if it were me who was crazy, not him.
I felt cold sweat forming on my back. If I get embarrassed here, I will lose Han Seo-yeon, who is about to sign a VIP contract.
What can I say to Shin Yong-seop? Isn’t he a masseuse recognized in the country?
“Mr. Kang Jun-hyeon.”
As I stood still, Shin Yong-seop came closer and said.
“I think it’s hard to even stand. “Why don’t you take off your mask quickly before you get found out?”
“What do you mean?”
Wonjae Choi answered on my behalf.
“Under. Are you a novice who can’t even speak without a spokesperson? Look. The skin on his face turned white and the veins on his temples stood out, right? Your pulse is racing and your breathing is difficult. You’ll be so nervous that you’ll start to sweat. How dare you attack me on such a childish topic? “I need to make you feel the pain of what happened today.”
“Hey, Shin Yong-seop. Then, it looks like our Junhyun is not feeling well, so shouldn’t we first say that the match will be held on another day?”
“Haha. That’s funny. Until just now, they had been acting like people who were desperate to get their seal on the contract. No. You’re the one who went shopping at the luxury store before, right? It’s a really fun shop .Are you avoiding competition because you are not in good physical condition? “If I report this to the media and men’s care magazines, I think it will create a very interesting situation.”
“So you said you’re not in good shape…”
“No, Director.”
I thought I should block their conversation.
This incident happened by me. And more than anything, my thoughts stopped at the fact that the miraculous things that had happened to me so far were passive events.
How long do I have to receive help from others?
I had to overcome this adversity on my own.
Of course, it is an established fact that I am inferior to Shin Yong-seop in terms of ability.
But I have my own abilities.
It is not the condition of the day, but the ability to change the year.
I trust my hands. He looked down at his hands and then lifted his chin to look Shin Yong-seop straight in the eyes. The burning eyes beneath the thick eyebrows pierced my heart, but I persevered and endured them.
“I’ll do it. That match. Instead, there are conditions.”
Shin Yong-seop grinned as if it was fun and crossed his arms.
“What is it?”
“Please do not take videos. “I don’t want to show my abilities to others.”
This was true.
Since I have no basic massage skills, an expert would think that my actions are nothing more than touching the skin for no reason. And it wasn’t just that. What maximizes my abilities is communication with others. Goo So-min proved that massage alone is not enough to change the future.
“Then how do you know whether to pull a trick or not?”
“I will tell you that it will never happen.”
Shin Yong-seop was about to say something more, but he looked gently into my eyes. He must have thought I was telling the truth and immediately nodded.
“Well, if you go that far, I’ll leave it to your conscience. So shall we begin the competition? But it wouldn’t be fun if there wasn’t something at stake, right? Mr. Kang Jun-hyun, please tell me what you want to ask of me when Kang Jun-hyun wins.”
“…”
I thought for a moment.
The odds of beating Shin Yong-seop are quite small. As he said, it will be difficult to win unless I use some tricks.
But I have no intention of losing easily.
I plan to somehow turn this situation around by using my abilities to the fullest. Two people receiving massages. That means there could be a tie.
But what if I win?
“Please teach me chiropractic techniques.”
“…What?”
“I asked to be taught chiropractic joint treatment techniques.”
“Puhaha! Do you really think you can do it if you learn that? For your information, please do not use the word ‘treatment’ without permission. Because shops sometimes close.”
I didn’t know what he was saying. Unable to understand what was happening, I looked at Wonjae Choi and he nodded quietly. It meant that Shin Yong-seop’s words were true.
“In Korea, the only people who sell drugs are restricted by law, and the only people who can provide treatment are doctors. No matter how certified you are. I don’t go around talking about treating anyone with my mouth. However, it works well. Cool. Do chiropractic. I just express it this way. “I don’t teach technology to people who don’t know how to use it properly.”
“That is a problem that we can slowly understand from now on.”
When I spoke firmly, Shin Yong-seop looked somewhat surprised.
“Now then, tell me what you want when Shin Yong-seop wins.”
He glared at me again as if he was going to eat me.
What on earth does this man want from me by winning this bet?
No, when I thought about it, the answer was obvious.
“Go to the interview and talk. “I am no better than Shin Yong-seop’s toes.”
He looked really normal, but inside he was as narrow-minded as a child.
