Chief Han

As JH Group's empire expanded, Jaehyun knew that safeguarding his personal security and that of the organization's top executives was paramount. To fortify the Chairman's protection, Jaehyun sought out Han Taehyung, a legendary figure in military circles. 

Jaehyun, utilizing his network of connections, arranged a private meeting with Han Taehyung at one of his upscale investments. The setting was chosen to reflect the seriousness and prestige of the position.

During their discussion, Jaehyun addressed Taehyung directly. "Mr. Han, I am offering you the position of Head of the Chairman's Bodyguard Unit. This role involves exclusively protecting me and acting upon my direct orders."

Taehyung's response was measured. "What makes this role significant, and why should I consider joining JH Group?"

Jaehyun outlined the significance of the role. "As Head of the CBU, you will be responsible for my personal security and the strategic oversight of our protection measures. This role comes with the autonomy to lead and command a specialized team, focusing solely on my protection. You will have the authority to make critical security decisions and implement advanced protocols."

Taehyung was intrigued but sought further clarification. "What can I expect in terms of resources and support?"

Jaehyun assured him, "You will have full access to resources and support from JH Group. The CBU will be equipped with the latest technology and training to ensure your effectiveness. Your position will also allow you to shape the unit and its operations to fit your vision of security."

Understanding the gravity of the role, Jaehyun provided Taehyung with time to consider the offer. "You have three days to make your decision. This role is crucial, and I want you to be certain of your commitment."

Taehyung agreed to the timeframe. "I will deliberate and respond by the end of the day."

Chief Secretary Kim/Director Kim

In the dimly lit office of a high-end medical facility, Kim Junghyun paced restlessly. His mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, tangled between the gravity of his sister's condition and the new chapter unfolding before him. Jaehyun, the enigmatic Chairman of JH Group, had made an offer that was impossible to ignore, a golden opportunity to join an empire at the peak of its power.

Junghyun, a former legendary assassin known as "Ghost," had spent years navigating the shadows of the world's underbelly. His reputation as a ruthless and efficient operative was matched only by his dedication to his sister, who had been suffering from a rare and debilitating condition. Despite his vast network and resources, finding a cure had been an insurmountable challenge—until Jaehyun stepped in.

Jaehyun's intervention had been nothing short of miraculous. Utilizing his extensive connections and resources, Jaehyun facilitated access to world-renowned specialists and cutting-edge treatments, giving Junghyun's sister a fighting chance at recovery. After months of rigorous treatment and unwavering hope, the news came: she was in remission. It was a pivotal moment that not only saved her life but also changed Junghyun's path forever.

The Offer

The day after receiving the news, Junghyun found himself in Jaehyun's opulent office, a room designed with understated elegance but exuding an aura of undeniable power. Jaehyun sat behind a grand mahogany desk, his sharp eyes fixed on Junghyun.

"I appreciate what you've done for my sister," Junghyun began, his voice steady but filled with deep gratitude. "But before we proceed, I need to understand why you're offering me this position."

Jaehyun's gaze remained unwavering. "Kim Junghyun, you're a legend in the world of covert operations. Your skills are unparalleled, and your loyalty has been proven time and again. What I'm offering you is not just a role but an opportunity to shape the future of JH Group. As my Chief Secretary and Shadow, you will have a pivotal role in ensuring the security and strategic direction of the empire we're building."

Junghyun considered the offer carefully. His life as an assassin had been marked by secrecy and danger, but this was a different kind of challenge—a chance to apply his skills in a new arena and contribute to something greater.

"Your assistance has given me a new perspective," Junghyun replied after a moment. "I'm ready to take on this role. My loyalty is with you."

Jaehyun's expression softened with a hint of satisfaction. "Welcome aboard, Kim Junghyun. Your role here will be crucial, and your skills will be invaluable."

Director Jung 

Jaehyun also recognized the necessity for a covert operations unit capable of managing sensitive and high-stakes situations behind the scenes.

Jung Gunwoo, a legendary figure from HID, was recruited to lead the newly formed Shadow Division, also known as the Strategic Planning Department

Jaehyun's recruitment of Gunwoo was a carefully orchestrated process. Understanding the critical nature of the role, Jaehyun met with Gunwoo in a discreet and secure environment, reflecting the sensitivity of the division's operations.

During their private meeting, Jaehyun presented his vision for the Shadow Division. "Mr. Jung, I am offering you the position of Director of the Strategic and Planning Department. This role will place you at the helm of our newly established Shadow Division, responsible for overseeing our most covert and high-priority operations."

Gunwoo, well-acquainted with the demands of such a role, asked, "What will be expected of me, and how will this role differ from my previous assignments?"

Jaehyun explained, "You will lead the Shadow Division, which operates under the guise of the Strategic Planning Department. The division will be comprised of three elite units, each specializing in different aspects of covert operations. Your role will involve strategic oversight and coordination across these units to ensure their effectiveness in protecting and advancing the Group's interests."

Gunwoo, recognizing the significance of the role, agreed. "I accept the position and am prepared to lead the division."

Jaehyun welcomed him with a firm handshake. "We are fortunate to have you."
