The invasion
I take a deep breath, my mind racing with the weight of the responsibility that Hwang and the JH Group have placed upon me. "How much time do I have to decide?" I ask Seok-jin, my voice steady despite the turmoil within.
Seok-jin's expression softens slightly, a flicker of understanding passing across his face. "Essentially, until you make up your mind," he replies, his tone measured. "Hwang believed in you, in your potential. He hasn't been able to identify any other Special People as strong as you. You're our best hope, perhaps our only hope."
I nod slowly, feeling the gravity of his words settle over me like a heavy mantle. "I need time to think," I say finally, my voice firm but not unkind. "This isn't a decision I can make lightly. I'll be in touch once I've had a chance to process everything."
Seok-jin nods, understanding and a hint of urgency in his eyes. "Of course. We'll be waiting for your decision."
