Persuasion
“It is because I need to observe how you change your clothes, Miss Eun Nanhee.”
Eun Nanhee, who had tensed up in an instant, tilted her head once more and asked cautiously.
“Excuse me? Why…?”
“Because it is necessary for the massage.”
“…Pardon?”
For a moment, Eun Nanhee could not find the words to respond to his utterly shameless statement and simply stared at Han Munho. Yet the gaze he directed at her remained perfectly serious.
Meeting his eyes—eyes that seemed almost capable of drawing her in—she heard his calm, strangely reassuring voice.
“A massage is not merely about touching and kneading the body to relieve fatigue.”
“…Then what is it?”
“A massage begins with understanding the recipient’s body.”
“……”
His tone was calm, almost hypnotic. While Eun Nanhee unconsciously focused on his words, Han Munho continued to explain his logic to her with perfect composure.
“By observing your habits when putting on or taking off your clothes, I can determine which areas are stiff and where you tend to hold tension.”
“……Pardon?”
“For example, if you move your left shoulder first when dressing, that side is likely more uncomfortable. Or, when removing your pants, comparing the leg you pull out first with the one you use to support yourself can reveal which muscles are more tense.”
“……”
“This is a necessary step for proper treatment. Please do not feel embarrassed. Simply think of it as part of the massage and accept it.”
His voice was so calm and steady that it did not feel like a lie at all. At some point, Eun Nanhee found herself being persuaded by Han Munho, as though under hypnosis.
‘If I just think of it as part of the massage… it does seem that way, doesn’t it…’
“If you are truly uncomfortable, I will step outside for a moment. I am only trying to help you receive a more effective massage, Miss Eun Nanhee.”
“……”
His reaction was so composed that it did not seem as though he had any particular interest in watching her undress. Rather than feeling pressured, Eun Nanhee felt a sense of relief at his words. She even began to worry that her own stubbornness might prevent her from receiving proper treatment.
‘Do I have no choice…?’
Her mind was in turmoil, yet she ultimately decided it would be better to follow the expert’s instructions.
“…All right. I’ll change in front of you, then.”
After drawing a slow, deep breath, she made her decision.
-Swish.
“……Haa.”
With a soft sigh, she began removing her clothes one piece at a time. First the knit sweater that covered her chest, then the tight jeans that hugged her lower body—each garment slipped away until she was left in nothing but her underwear. She glanced back at Han Munho, checking his reaction, but his reply was firm and matter-of-fact.
“You must remove your underwear as well before putting on the massage outfit, Miss Eun Nanhee. Any other clothing may interfere with the massage.”
“……Yes.”
Click. With a small sound, the hook of her bra came undone, and her large breasts spilled free. In the awkward atmosphere, she carefully picked up the top of the massage outfit and slipped it on, pushing her breasts into the tight fabric. For some reason, her heart was beating a little faster as she adjusted the garment and stole another glance at Han Munho.
“The bottoms too…”
“Yes. You must remove your underwear before wearing them.”
“……Yes.”
She had expected this answer, yet the embarrassment was unavoidable. Still, she managed to remove her panties and carefully put on the short, form-fitting massage shorts.
Standing before a man she barely knew, her breasts exposed and her buttocks visible from behind—even if he was a professional massage therapist, the situation was undeniably uncomfortable.
“Since you have changed into the massage outfit, we may begin. Please come this way.”
Eun Nanhee followed his guidance and lay face-down on the massage table. As she pressed her body flat against the bed and settled into position, a wave of tension washed over her. Though it was called a massage outfit, the garment left far too much of her body exposed to a stranger. Sensing her nervousness, Han Munho gently patted her shoulder to calm her.
“It is natural to feel tense during your first time. If you tense up too much, the effects will be reduced, so please try to relax as much as possible.”
“Yes…”
She answered quietly, trying to loosen her body in response to his low, steady voice. She flinched slightly when he placed his hands on her shoulders, but the sensation that followed was unexpectedly comfortable. Though it was only a simple touch, the reassuring feeling helped her gradually let her guard down.
“Hmm… Your shoulder muscles are quite stiff. The right side seems especially bad—have you noticed it before?”
“Ah, yes… I usually carry my bag on my right shoulder, and I do a lot of writing, so…”
“Your daily habits are likely the cause. I will apply some pressure during the massage, so please tell me if it hurts.”
“Yes…”
Along with his calm explanation, his hands pressed deeper. At first the pressure on her muscles was slightly painful, but soon a strangely refreshing sensation followed.
“Aah, th-there… please be gentler…”
“The first time can be painful because the knotted areas resist. I will loosen them quickly, so please bear with it for a moment.”
“Y-yes…”
Following his words, she endured the brief discomfort, and the knotted muscles seemed to gradually release. In that comfortable sensation, Eun Nanhee failed to notice that his hands had moved past her shoulders and waist, slowly traveling downward… and that he was beginning to draw her into a massage filled with his own desires.
“To properly relax your lower back, I believe we should also perform an abdominal massage. Could you please turn over and lie on your back?”
“Y-yes…”
With a slightly flushed face, she carefully turned onto her back. Han Munho’s hands gently settled on her abdomen.
-Press.
“Hng, hah…”
-Press, press.
“Mmmh, hah… haa…”
A subtle pressure on her abdomen drew soft moans from her lips. Because it was not an area she was used to being touched, the unfamiliar sensation felt even stronger. Beyond simply massaging the surface, it felt as though something inside her body was being pressed as well. Just as the pressure on her abdomen grew intense enough to feel strangely sensual, Han Munho asked a rather sensitive question.
“Do you often experience bloating or constipation?”
“Pardon…?”
Startled by the sudden question while he was massaging her abdomen, Eun Nanhee’s face reddened.
“I-I do feel bloated sometimes, but it is not as severe as constipation.”
Though the question was embarrassing, she answered calmly, doing her best not to show her discomfort. Han Munho did not seem particularly concerned with her answer itself and simply continued with what he wanted to say.
“The muscles around your pelvis are stiffer than usual. That is likely why you experience such severe lower back pain.”
“Oh… is that so?”
“Yes. And if the intestinal activity in your lower abdomen is not smooth, it can affect your lower back and pelvis as well. Digestion and nerves are connected, after all.”
“I-I have never really thought about that…”
“That is only natural. Without a professional opinion, it is difficult to notice such things in daily life.”
After saying this, Han Munho paused for a moment before continuing carefully, as though to emphasize that he was speaking seriously rather than joking.
“At this rate, a regular massage may have its limits. Therefore, a more fundamental approach is needed.”
“…A more fundamental approach?”
“Have you ever heard of anal massage?”
“……Pardon?”
Eun Nanhee’s face flushed as she wondered if she had misheard, but Han Munho continued his explanation in the same calm, serious tone.
“An anal massage.”
“…Wh-what is that?”
“It is a method of directly relaxing the intestinal and pelvic muscles. By loosening the areas in the lower body where muscles tend to knot the most, it relieves fatigue. It requires special technique, but the effects are certain.”
“Ah, I see… there is such a massage as well…”
The very sound of the words “anal massage” made her avert her gaze in embarrassment. Yet Han Munho continued to meet her eyes and persuade her with his steady voice.
“Of course, if you do not wish to proceed, you do not have to. However, given your current condition, I thought it might be worth considering.”
“I-I do not have to do it, right…?”
“No. I am merely offering my professional opinion. The choice is yours, Miss Eun Nanhee.”
“……”
“For your reference, tension in the intestinal and pelvic muscles affects not only bowel movements but also lower back and pelvic pain. Please take that into account when making your decision.”
Eun Nanhee hesitated. The suggestion of an anal massage was completely unexpected and embarrassing. If he had said it jokingly, she could have laughed it off, but his voice was utterly serious—calm enough that it did not feel like a lie at all.
…Just a little. She decided to hear him out and asked cautiously.
“Th-then… exactly which part and how is this anal massage performed…?”
“It would be difficult to explain with words alone, so allow me to demonstrate briefly.”
“……P-pardon?!”
