As Joon-ho and I approach the JH Group's facility in Pohang, I can't help but notice the increased security measures. The once-bustling complex seems subdued, with visible signs of damage from the recent battle.
Seok-jin meets us at the entrance, his face a mixture of relief and weariness. "Welcome back," he says, gesturing us inside. "I'm glad to see you on your feet again."
Once we're settled in a secure conference room, Seok-jin's demeanor becomes more serious. "I won't sugarcoat it," he begins. "The JH Group took a significant hit in the last battle. We're operational, but our resources are strained."
I nod, taking in the information. "Seok-jin," I say, getting to the heart of why we're here. "About my recovery... Joon-ho mentioned you wanted to help?"
