"There are far better things ahead than any we leave behind."

"So," Kim Yugyeom said as he sat on the sofa at the hospital lobby, "What we've talked about is just the rough plan. JK wants us to think of his ideas as a general outline of the deal between Solar and Lunar for the next one to five years," He smiled at Min Yoongi and Park Jimin.
The three of them returned to video call to discuss Solar's business offer to Lunar after the dinner. As the night grew late, only fewer people were seen walking around the international class hospital. The silence made it easier for him to talk to Yoongi and Jimin.
"I am intentionally conveying the offer now so you can think and consider it. We're not in a rush though," Yugyeom continued.
Every now and then he could hear the sound of car horns and the roar of motorbike engines still passing by on the highway, along with the trickling sound of the fountain in the small indoor garden near the pharmacy.
Aside from his own voice and Jimin and Yoongi's voices on the phone, Yugyeom could hear the betas and omegas working at the reception desk chatting. The three nurses occasionally glanced at Yugyeom's handsome alpha as they listened to low volume music from the radio.
"So in other words, Mr. Jeon wants to help Daegu's development to become more advanced. Especially in terms of regional income and infrastructure development," Yoongi said, which Yugyeom immediately agreed with.
"Yes. I heard from Taehyung, apparently the reason he majored in Architecture was because he wanted to build his hometown. His passion actually was writing," Yugyeom utters.
"That's true, did he tell you that?" Jimin chimed rhetorically, "Taehyung plans to study architecture and his younger sister will major in agriculture so that they can help their family's farming business in the future. At Lunar, we strive to bring together expertise in different fields to bring our packs to life. While I studied medicine and healing to become a nurse, Yoongi majored in business," Jimin explained.
"Good move actually. In addition to infrastructure and technology, JK's corporation also wants to open several business entities in various fields there. That way, I think our plans will be aligned with your goals and we can help each other and benefit both parties," The alpha Yugyeom retorted.
He added, "If this plan goes well, I can guarantee that Daegu will be more advanced in all areas. Its economy can also be boosted. That way, Lunar and the werewolves community there can escape poverty, improve their standard and quality of life and be healthier and more prosperous overall. The priority here is the equal distribution of prosperity and abundance in our society. That is our mission. It's JK's main vision," The younger alpha informed them.
Yugyeom's words made Jimin's pupils dilated in an instant.
"Okay. We're listening," Yoongi nodded as he seemed interested.
"My point is, JK wants to start a pizza and fried chicken dine and restaurant in Daegu. It can be fancy or so-so. But it will be franchised with his main restaurant here in Seoul. The supply of chicken, beef and pork and so on can be distributed from the Kim family farm. And if possible, JK wants to open a guesthouse and airbnb business considering the beautiful nature in the hilly area. According to him, the prospects look bright and are quite suitable to be developed as a profitable business area-"
"Air bed and breakfast? But it will cost a fortune-" Yoongi interjects.
"We have no problem about the money. We will establish an independent franchise organization under the name of Lunar and Solar. JK is currently enjoying exploring various things in the business. He has recently done mergers, consolidations and acquisitions in his business activities several times. Everything has been running smoothly and profitable so far. So, we trust his instincts. Jungkook said that Daegu would be a nice destination for tourism. And building resorts in its countryside and outskirts will help the people increase money. Although we are still learning, there is no doubt that JK has a very big vision and mission for the progress of Daegu, and basically for the lasting prosperity of all of us. That's why the elders and counselors support his ideas."
"He has moved that fast and planned all of these in a short time?" Jimin was stunned.
"Jungkook is indeed known as one of the agile and nimble thinkers among the young alphas of Solar," Yugyeom chuckled, "He is one of the fastest and strongest among us."
"Wait a minute, does that mean Jungkook intends to open a hospital branch here?" Yoongi was curious.
"That's his plan too. Hospitals, schools and universities will be built in 5 years from now, not to mention his late mother's flower shop and interior and plantscaping company. We could start some new branches in Daegu. All of that will be possible if you and Lunar agree to this collaboration," Yugyeom gave them his amity smile, "Our younger generation of werewolves will be far more advanced. We'll grow stronger, we'll be great and invincible than humans and vampires. We can make it happen if Lunar and Solar unite and work together in all areas," Yugyeom encountered it with full confidence.
Hearing the alpha's words, Yoongi was stunned. This little town of Daegu would become very advanced. If that happened, then this town would change 180 degrees and become one of the leading ones.
"And most importantly, we will all be free from poverty. And we'll be able to live more decent, prosperous, happy and secure lives," Jimin muttered to his alpha in a cracked voice because he was so tremendously moved and touched by the thought of it.
"The economy of the Daegu will be boosted by this joint effort, because this development will open up many job opportunities. In addition, I have thought of several ideas for opening tourist attractions. Cabins and villas for rent, hotel development and tourist attractions near the lake will be exciting and interesting. Hotels, airbnb and guesthouses around the agricultural area will be profitable. Corn fields, wheat fields, tea gardens and strawberry gardens, we can explore all of them to be made into profitable tourism businesses. That would be useful for increasing regional income," Yugyeom stated.
"Yoongi, am I dreaming? This is like a miracle that I have always longed for and imagined since I was a kid," Jimin grabbed Yoongi's right hand. His eyes are filled with tears even though he's smiling.
"This is huge. So huge it's unbelievable," Yoongi mutters in disbelief.
"We're talking about something serious, Man," Yugyeom chuckled in a casual yet enthusiastic manner, "Anyway, there's no need to rush. You can discuss it with the elders and Lunar counselors first. You can take your time to think about it."
"Wow, then it's settled. Thank you, we will surely talk about this with elders and counselors first," Yoongi said as he widened his gummy smile.
"Good thing. Likewise. And the important thing is, tomorrow my team and I will go to Daegu to handle the first thing first; Kim's family loan and debt. JK wants this matter resolved ASAP, immediately. After that, we can start discussing the details of these projects one by one. Since this will be massive, we have to get everyone involved to ally. Because basically we will be establishing a new company, working together and making money. We're gonna be a big, whole family. It's gonna be lit, Man," Yugyeom grinned cheerfully.
The wave of change has begun. It is like a snowball becoming an avalanche that keeps rolling till the next collision. It's going under from the top of the hill and down to the bottom, it gets bigger and bigger.
The three of them ended the video call shortly after. Their conversation ends with a sense of satisfaction, enthusiasm and good hopes for the promising future that awaited them.
"Some changes look negative on the surface but you will soon realize that space is being created in your life for something new to emerge."
