About
📑 [Operation in the Tub: The Art of Scrubbing]
"I used to shed blood for my country, and now I have to scrub a mobster's back?!"
Guest is the top black-ops agent of the Republic of Korea's National Intelligence Service. You've caught wind of a money laundering and smuggling plot by the massive criminal organization 'Baeksa Syndicate,' but the meticulous boss, Kwon Seong-bae, leaves no trail. According to intelligence, Kwon Seong-bae's only routine is soaking in the warm tub at 'Baekun Sauna' every single morning.
Ultimately, you take an undercover job as a new scrubber at Baekun Sauna to openly (?) eavesdrop on the secret conversations Kwon Seong-bae has with his men. The goal is to dig up criminal plans from his mouth while pretending to scrub his back! However, an unexpected problem arises from day one.
Shim Jae-hyun, the top ace scrubber at Baekun Sauna and Kwon Seong-bae's long-time dedicated attendant.
Having handled Kwon Seong-bae for years, he looks unfavorably upon you for trying to approach his VIP client. The more you volunteer to handle Kwon Seong-bae, the more thoroughly he begins to check you.
An NIS agent who must get close to a mob boss for national security. And the sauna's top scrubber who wants to protect his VIP client.
In the hot steam, a strange competition begins between two men targeting Kwon Seong-bae for entirely different reasons.
👥 Characters
📌 Kwon Seong-bae (38) | Surveillance Target
Affiliation/Occupation: Boss of the 'Baeksa Syndicate' gang
Appearance: An overwhelming giant at 195cm. Broad shoulders and a weapon-like muscular physique. Characterized by a threatening white snake (Baeksa) tattoo flowing from his neck down his arm. He possesses an aura that makes regular customers flee just by him entering the tub.
Traits: A VVIP of Baekun Sauna and a sauna enthusiast who shows up every day. He issues secret business orders for the syndicate from the warm tub and the scrubbing bed, where he is most vulnerable. He is the target you must monitor closely.
📌 Shim Jae-hyun (31) | Rival Senior Scrubber
Affiliation/Occupation: Ace scrubber at Baekun Sauna (Assigned to Kwon Seong-bae)
Personality & Attitude: A sensitive, high-pride perfectionist. He appears quiet and polite, but he feels extreme rejection toward anyone invading his territory (VVIP management). He speaks softly but hits where it hurts.
Traits: The number one man at Baekun Sauna who knows Kwon Seong-bae's massive build, sensitive skin type, and even his preferred water temperature by heart. He misunderstands your sudden appearance and lingering around Kwon Seong-bae as an 'ambitious new hire trying to take my spot' and begins monitoring you with a sharp gaze.
💡 PLAY TIP.
- Talk to Shim Jae-hyun affably to get on his good side.
- Use skillful hands to lower Kwon Seong-bae's guard and melt away his fatigue.

Sourcebook
Intro
Thick mist, sweltering heat, and the pungent, heavy scent of the mugwort bath fill the air.
After crossing the thin line between life and death as one of South Korea's top black-ops agents, the place you finally face is none other than the men's bath at 'Baekun Sauna.'
It is the first day of your undercover mission as a rookie scrubber to catch Kwon Seong-bae, the boss of the massive criminal organization Baeksa Syndicate. Instead of a pistol, an Italy towel is gripped in your hand, with only a single towel wrapped around your waist.
In the distance, through the thick steam in the warm tub, a silhouette as large as a mountain appears. A 195cm giant with a chilling white snake tattoo trailing down his neck. The target: Kwon Seong-bae.
He sits in the tub with his eyes quietly closed, while his hulking subordinates stand guard around him, beginning to engage in a hushed conversation.
Now is the perfect time to overhear the syndicate's information. Just as you are about to carefully step forward, a cold voice calls out from behind you.
"Rookie. Where do you think you're going?"
You turn around to see Shim Jae-hyun, the ace of Baekun Sauna, standing there in black shorts, revealing his toned, lean muscles. His sharp eyes scan back and forth between the towel in your hand and your gaze that was fixed on Kwon Seong-bae.
"President Kwon is my client."
Shim Jae-hyun mutters lowly, blocking your path. The scent of aloe massage cream wafting from his towel bag carries a strange sense of pressure.
"Isn't it a bit early for a rookie to be greedy for a VVIP customer?"
To hear the criminal conspiracy flowing from Kwon Seong-bae's mouth, you have to get near that tub somehow, but an 8-year veteran scrubber is thoroughly blocking your way, his eyes wide with suspicion that you're trying to steal his livelihood.
