chapter 21
Being young is a huge advantage in itself.
Aside from the simple fact that there is still a lot of time left, it is the time when the most vitality flows through the body and emits light.
However, Choi Tae-joon’s body is in a state where its vitality is almost drying up. He looks fine on the outside, but his inner strength and mental strength are showing the bottom.
The mental burden of slump and the physical abuse to escape from it. The vicious cycle caused by these two shackles was enough to break a talented young man.
‘I’d rather be a guy with a knack for it.’
Expectations and criticisms pouring in from the outside.
Expectations sometimes make people grow, but sometimes they ruin people. No matter how talented a person is, there are limits, but there is no limit to the expectations of others.
What if you try to live up to expectations beyond your limits?
If you are lucky, you may be able to do it a few times, but in the end you will be broken. Even if you go over the limit, it can’t be said that it’s a normal process.
If you think you’re about to break, you also need a way to avoid it.
However, this man was not that kind of person.
He is a person who is sincere at best and foolish at worst. He probably found the cause of the problem in himself and repeated the hard training.
In the end, it must have reached this point.
It is a part that can be known just by looking at the condition of the body.
If so, how should I take action?
In fact, as mentioned earlier, being young is a great advantage in itself. It is true that internal strength is damaged and energy is exhausted, but if you take care of your hands to revive your resilience, you will soon be full of life again.
Choi Tae-joon’s current state is, so to speak, an exhausted car.
To be more specific, it can be said that not only was it discharged, but even the wires spread out here and there were a little tasted.
‘Then I’ll have to take care of the wires first.’
From Myeongmun (命門) to Jujube (大推) acupuncture, dozens of acupuncture points that come up the spine are acupressure in turn.
The spine is a place that can be called the pillar of the body.
It is the center of the body, connecting various organs as well as lower end to upper end.
In addition, along the spine, a thick main bloodline flows, and the blood formed along the thick stem also becomes a major acupuncture point of great importance.
What stimulated them quickly in order.
The impact spread all over the body in an instant, and was enough to wake up the blood vessels that were dry and hardened.
“Huh, huh… … .”
However, Choi Tae-jun, who was experiencing it himself, took a different position.
The sensation of something rising from the tailbone to the top of the head, as if it were about to explode!
But that’s not all. The stimuli that flowed from the bottom to the top along the spine soon scattered to the left and right, penetrating all over the body and to the tips of the fingers.
“Okay, I need to catch my breath.”
“Keheuk, heeuk, heuk.”
Choi Tae-jun, who had difficulty breathing due to the sudden stimulation.
Kang Tae-han, who was watching him, patted him on the back, and only then let out a short cough and breathed heavily.
“Stop, sir.”
No one told me to, but the title of teacher came out naturally. Choi Tae-joon raised his body slightly and held out his hand.
“Wait, wait.”
After taking a couple of deep breaths, finally choosing the cotton, Choi Tae-jun thought for a moment about what had just happened.
‘what?’
I’ve had quite a few massages. There were also times when I made noise while receiving a massage.
But it was always because of unbearable pain, not because of these strange sensations. It’s like… I’ve never been hit, but it feels like I’ve been hit by a stun gun.
No, there is a big difference from the stun gun.
If you get hit by an electric stun gun, your whole body will be in pain, but this is a different sensation than pain. I’m not sure if this word fits… It feels more like pleasure than pain.
‘… what?’
I looked at the palm of my hand at the sudden cool sensation.

Like when you tied your forearm for a long time and then untied it, like playing with electricity when you were young, the feeling of clogged blood flowing again.
At first, the sensation that lingered in the palm of my hand, soon began to be felt all over my body. It feels like cold, clear water is flowing all over the body.
Is it because of that? I don’t know if it’s just a mood, but it seems that the body that was sagging is full of energy.
“Sir, this is so magical… Whoops!”
However, his admiring admiration was cut short.
Kang Tae-han’s hand started moving again.
I just waited for a while until the stimulation spread through the bloodstream, I wasn’t waiting because he asked me to wait.
‘Maybe I can start soon.’
It hadn’t given me that much power before. In the first place, the main purpose was to wake up by sending stimulation to the bloodstream.
It is a necessary process, so to speak, like a warm-up exercise because if too strong a stimulus is suddenly applied to the hardened blood vessels, it may cause harm.
Sufficient stimuli should have been delivered to the fine micro-holes now. Now you are ready to begin in earnest.
“Heo-eok, hee-uh, hee-uh… … .”
Of course, whether or not Choi Tae-joon himself was ready was another matter… Kang Tae-han’s hand began to acupressure each acupuncture point casually.
“Hmm, take a break.”
“Cheheuk, whoa, whoa, whoa.”
Kang Tae-han was kind and even took appropriate measures if breathing was irregular in the middle.

“Really? Taejun Choi is here?”
“That’s right, ma’am. Did you see me lying?”
“I haven’t seen the manager lie, but I’ve never seen a celebrity come here. Then, of the two, do you think the manager is more likely to lie?”
Director Hwang’s head tilted to the side at Seonghyun Choi’s words. In terms of words, that sounds pretty reasonable.
“Listen… It seems so, but is it real? He got a massage from Taehan earlier, and now he’s sleeping inside.”
“If it’s true… Wow, this is the first time I’ve seen a baseball player in person.”
Choi Seong-hyun’s excitement leaks out. Seeing this, Chief Hwang burst out laughing.
“Didn’t you curse Choi Tae-joon a while ago?”
“Ah, that’s just a saying. How many players made their pro debut and rose to the top of the line so quickly.”
Seonghyeon Choi shyly scratched his head and grunted.
It was Choi Seong-hyun who usually said something in words, but inwardly supported him. There was even a time when I fought for a long time with a guy who posted malicious comments in the comment section of an article.
“But I can see that he went through a lot of heartache.”
“okay? why?”
“just… Her complexion was bad enough that I could tell just by looking at her.”
Chief Hwang made a pitiful voice. Maybe it’s because I’m wearing a sauna jjimjilbok, but I feel like my body is a little bit more than when I saw it in the picture.
“Taehan would have taken care of it, but… Ugh.”
They said that even a tiger would come out at my request, and just in time the door opened and Choi Tae-joon came out. Choi Seong-hyeon and Hwang, as if they had made a promise to each other, changed their posture at the same time.
“Did you have a good massage?”
“Yes, it was great.”
Director Hwang’s voice sounded completely different from when they were chatting a while ago. On the other hand, Choi Tae-joon’s voice was particularly clear as he answered.
‘… He said he seemed to have suffered a bit.’
Seonghyeon Choi looked sideways at Chief Hwang.
Choi Tae-joon’s appearance outside was completely different from what Chief Hwang had said. Far from having a bad complexion, you can even feel a sense of refreshment and freshness.
However, the perplexed thing is that Chief Hwang is the same.
How could people’s impressions change so quickly? It was like putting a person in a washing machine and running it. Or was my memory wrong?
“Could I get your business card, sir?”
“Ah, yes. of course.”
Director Hwang immediately picked up the business card and handed it to him. It was now a very natural thing for Kang Tae-han’s customers to come out after receiving a massage and look for business cards.
‘Teacher Kang Tae-han… … .’
Choi Tae-joon looked at the business card with a deep impression.
Choi Tae-joon himself was also surprised by this dramatic change. After a frantic massage, I suddenly came to my senses… He was sleeping in a dark room. With drool dripping on the pillow.
It feels like drinking sleeping gas in a movie.
But there is nothing wrong with the body. Quite the opposite.
‘My body is so refreshed.’
before and after losing consciousness.
The difference was so stark that I wondered if they were the same body.
The limbs were so light that I wondered if it could be like this, and I could feel the vitality flowing through my whole body. Even the gloss of the skin looks different.
and another one.
The foreign body feeling in my shoulder disappeared as if it had been washed. That feeling that did not go away even after visiting more than ten hospitals disappeared like a lie.
“How are your shoulders?”
When Choi Tae-joon put his business card in and came out of the massage shop.
Someone spoke from behind. Taejun Choi turned his head at the familiar voice, although the tone was different.
“Mr. Kang.”
He is none other than Kang Tae-han. A smile caught on Choi Tae-joon’s lips because he wanted to express his gratitude.
“Thank you very much.”
“How are your shoulders? Are you better?”
“Yes, it’s not like it’s improved, but it’s gone like it was washed. How did you do it?”
“I did care a little bit.”
Kang Tae-han said with a smile.
However, Kang Tae-han did not take any special action. It only reawakened and activated the blood flow in the body, and raised the regenerative power by injecting a little vitality into it.
In fact, the cause of Choi Tae-joon’s foreign body feeling was trivial. Although there was damage to the blood vessels where the knife was applied through surgery, it was only a small wound that would naturally recover over time.
It was only that the body was weak and the bloodline was hardened, so it remained unrecovered for the time being. In the end, it could be said that this was also a problem caused by Choi Tae-joon overworking himself.
“But if you overwork your body again, it will go back to normal in no time. So, get enough rest.”
That’s why Kang Tae-han came out on time and gave me advice. If you leave it like this, you will most likely fall into a vicious cycle of abuse and self-reproach.
“is that so… … . But it is difficult.”
At those words, Choi Tae-joon smiled bitterly.
“Actually, I am playing professionally, but… My grades are not good. When I think of the expectations and disappointments of my fans, I don’t feel like I’m resting even if I’m resting.”
As for the attitude toward the fans, it’s great.
But that’s about enough. Wouldn’t it be absurd if it would ruin your condition? Kang Tae-han smiled lightly.
“In that case, I will give you a good prescription.
“… A good prescription?”
Choi Tae-joon’s ears perked up. Haven’t you already experienced the magic of massage? There was an expectation that there would be something mysterious and special this time as well.
“Don’t watch internet news.”
“… Yes?”
However, the words that came out of his mouth were extremely modern words.
Kang Tae-han added a word to the slightly dumbfounded Choi Tae-joon.
“And focus more on the words of people close to you rather than those of people you don’t even know. Keep two things.”
Then go carefully. Kang Tae-han left those words and went back inside.
