chapter 3
“Hey, Seonghyun! Can you help me for a minute?”
“What is it?”
“I’m going to take care of the laundry before it piles up too much.”
The man carrying the basket said to Seonghyeon Choi. There are many customers in the jjimjilbang today, so it seems that the laundry is also pushed out. Seonghyun Choi stood up without saying anything.
“I have to collect these, run the washing machine, and organize the things that ran the dryer… Can you help me?”
“Of course, mister. What’s wrong.”
Even though there is a considerable age difference, Seonghyun Choi said with a friendly smile. He was already on his way to the washing machine with laundry baskets in each hand.
“sorry. The guy who was supposed to come has a funk.”
“Ah, it’s okay.”
Choi Seong-hyun was working as a masseuse, but as it was a part-time job, it was rare for her to come to his turn. Because of this, in my free time, I would help with small jobs.
As a rule, it doesn’t matter if I just wait quietly… Because no one hates people who work hard at work.
“Where is it? Is this the last time you’re going to do laundry?”
“I guess so. It’s definitely more comfortable to have one hand.”
In addition, Choi Seong-hyun was not only friendly, but also good at working. After sorting out the laundry in an instant, the two headed to the dryer for their next job.
“Huh? Is it empty?”
“Who emptied it?”
But the dryer was empty.
When I turned my head and looked around, someone was already taking out the contents and folding clothes and towels.
Kang Tae-han was introduced by someone Hani Choi Seong-hyun.
It wasn’t particularly called, but he was following Choi Seong-hyun and helping with the work.
‘I must work for the wages I receive.’
It just didn’t suit my temper to stay still.
Especially if it’s a job that someone recommended.
Kang Tae-han silently moved his hand.
However, his hand movements were unusual.
widely.
If you lightly twist the clothes, they become straight as if they were ironed.
Took.
Tap the center lightly with your finger blade to fold it in half.
In the end, I folded it with both hands as if clapping, so the crumpled clothes and towels that had just been dried were folded like new clothes.
It takes about 2 seconds to get there.
It was a light hand movement that seemed indifferent at first glance, but the piled up laundry was being sorted out one by one.
‘It reminds me of the old days.’
It was when I hid for a while in a clan through an old relationship before the name tag of the Heavenly demon was still running.
‘I’ve been doing chores day and night for two years.’
At that time, martial arts had reached its peak and fame had spread a bit, but the status when hiding was only that of aspiring to enter, so the hospitality was literally the youngest of the youngest.
Sweep the floor, mop the floor, cook, do the laundry.
In the name of training, it was like having more than 100 people help, and thanks to that, I became proficient in all kinds of housework during the two years I stayed there.
The current hand movements were also learned then.
Shall we call it a kind of herbivore that touched the trick of folding the laundry?
It could be said that it was a life skill that I naturally realized through my body while doing chores.
“Sung Hyun-ah… Didn’t your friend say you had a bit of an affair?”
“… Did you?”
“Isn’t that a bit on the level?”
The two of them watched it blankly for a while. It seemed like it would be rather a hindrance if I helped out.
Had that little time passed?
“What, when did you come?”
All the laundry piled up was neatly folded, and Kang Tae-han folded the last towel and stood up.
“I helped out a bit because I was busy with work… I hope it’s not some kind of nonsense. Is this right?”
“Oh, what nonsense! No, no.”
“Hey, Taehyung. What are you, dude! Did you come from the army doing laundry bottles or something?”
Only then did the two of them make a fuss. It was certainly a sight worth making a fuss about.
“Sorry, student. I should have helped a bit, but I was just staring blankly at it because I was doing such a good job. Even the master of life should go out?”
“What? That’s too much… No, you’re over-complimenting.”
Kang Tae-han swallowed the short talk that almost jumped out like a habit.
* * *
The three loaded the cleaned clothes and towels into the milcha. No matter how well they were folded, even when they were moved, the pieces were still alive.
“I’ll move some of these and go finish it.”
“You worked hard, mister.”
“What, did you suffer? Don’t even buy something to drink later!”
He pushed the cart and climbed into the elevator. Since the work was over, Kang Tae-han and Choi Seong-hyeon also moved to the waiting room again.
“… Ugh, I suddenly feel sick to my stomach.”
“what’s the matter?”
“I don’t know. little hungry… I can’t. Go in first.”
Seonghyeon Choi grabbed the boat and turned around. It was in the direction of the toilet.
‘I’ve had a weak stomach since before, but it’s the same… No, is it normal that it stays the way it was?’
Sixty years have passed, but that’s a story that only applies to you. Of course, it seems that something has changed since masseuses are allowed… At least the time was as it was then.
‘It means I should be young too.’
He is now in his mid-twenties at most.
The spirit of a man in his 80s, who was a Heavenly demon, would not suit the times and would not suit this body.
“It seems that the tone has come back somewhat… Well?”
“uh! You’re here! that… What was your name?”
When he opened the door to the waiting room and went inside, Chief Hwang greeted him. Something seemed to be going on.
“This is Kang Tae-han.”
“okay! Mr Taehan. That’s right, it was Taehan.”
Director Hwang nodded a couple of times.
“By the way, have you seen Seonghyun?”
“Seonghyun went to the bathroom because she felt sick to her stomach.”
“Ah, child. Timing is… … .”
Director Hwang scratched his head as if embarrassed, then stared blankly at Kang Tae-han for a while.
“Is that… Have you ever worked in a massage before?”
“Um… … .”
It will depend on how far you set the category, but if you look closely, there is no such thing as nothing. They helped me with breakfast, or helped me with the twisting of qi and blood… Because such things rarely happened.
“I’ve been to some extent.”
“To what extent… … .”
In response, Chief Hwang wiped his lips.
It was an ambiguous answer, but if I said that I can do well or that I have a lot of experience, I would have been anxious. Because there is nothing more insecure than a confident newcomer.
‘Sunghyun told me to trust only him… … .’
This guest is a complete first-time visitor.
I don’t think any shop will do that, but the first impression is especially important for massage parlors. Since it costs a considerable amount of money and time, the halfway point is completely cut off.
So, it was the manager’s mind to send out someone with a certain level of skill, but… … .
‘Well, I have a license, so I must have some skills.’
It was very unsettling to let the first person out today, but it would be a loss if I didn’t let them do the work anyway. Chief Hwang nodded as if he had made up his mind.
“Then, can Taehan receive a guest?”
“All right.”
“Did you hear the explanation at first? Just prepare and come out. I will pass it on like that to the outside world.”
Chief Hwang glanced at Kang Tae-han’s face for the last time before stepping outside.
“Where then… … .”
Kang Tae-han, who was left alone, lightly checked his clothes.
I was told to prepare, but there was nothing to prepare. It only requires minimal clothing tidying up.
“Shall we go?”
It’s the first time I’ve been in charge.
It was a recommendation from a close friend, and it needed money in the first place, so it should show results as much as possible. Kang Tae-han took a breath and went outside.
‘Actually, my memory is a bit fuzzy… … .’
I remember studying really hard when I got my license.

Learn anatomy, learn the basic theory, practice here and there… However, I only remember it like a memory that it was like that in the past, but I can’t recall the contents well.
Even so, 60 years have passed. Even if the memory wears out, there is nothing you can do about it.
‘It’ll work out somehow.’
With that in mind, Kang Tae-han arrived in room 5.
Even if it was a room, it was all about putting up massage beds and putting up partitions, but the space was wide enough and it was decorated in its own way, so it looked pretty good.
“hello.”
“Ah yes. hello.”
Kang Tae-han went inside and greeted him, and Assistant Manager Nam Woo-hyun, who was already lying on the bed with his head down, raised his face and greeted him.
“Which one is inconvenient… … .”
“Well… If I had to pick one, the waist, and… … .”
Kang Tae-han lightly scanned Nam Woo-hyun’s body.
His eyes changed instantly.
“Your back is out of balance. My back collapsed, and there was a problem with my spine, and the blood flow wasn’t smooth… It must have been a long time since I’ve been sober.”
“Yes? uh… Yes, I see.”
I was taken aback by Kang Tae-han’s sudden change of tone, but all of them were right. Nam Woo-hyun answered with a dumbfounded expression.
“Look at me, I don’t like alcohol, but I drink often… It’s fine on the outside, but it’s not healthy on the inside. My body is tired, but I can’t even get a good night’s sleep. Isn’t it?”
“Yes… Yes, that’s right.”
… Did I come to the fortune teller?
It was Assistant Manager Nam Woo-hyun, looking back at his memories without even realizing it.
