After a few days of deliberation, Jungkook decided that if anyone could handle this delicate situation, it would have to be him. He wasn't the type to give up on something just because it was difficult. The land in Jeju Island was too valuable for his resort plans, and if it meant traveling there personally to convince the owner, so be it.
He made arrangements swiftly, chartering a private flight to Jeju and informing Eric of his decision. Eric was surprised but not shocked, knew his boss's determination all too well.
When Jungkook arrived on the island, the difference between the sleek, modern world and natural scenery is striking.The air was fresh, the mountains green, and the sea stretched out in front of him like an endless horizon. But he wasn't here to admire the scenery.
As his car drove along the narrow roads leading to the owner's village, Jungkook mentally prepared himself. This wasn't about flashing money or throwing around his power-he would have to approach this carefully, with respect, and a deep understanding of the people who held this land so sacred.
Jungkook stepped out of the car and immediately felt the change.Eric was also tagging along.The air here was thicker, the humidity clinging to his skin as he glanced ahead at the dense forest path.
He wasn't used to this-walking through rough terrain wasn't exactly his usual way of doing business-but he had come all this way, and the land was too important to turn back now.
He instructed his driver to wait by the car and began the trek through the forest. The path was uneven, roots and rocks jutting out from the ground, and the humidity made each step feel heavier than the last. Jungkook's shirt clung to his back as he wiped the sweat from his brow, but he pushed forward.
The sun filtered through the thick canopy above, casting shadows on the ground, and the forest seemed to close in around him as he walked deeper.
"Where in the hell the village is...? " Jungkook did a frustrated curse.
"B-boss... We are almost there... " Eric stammered. Jungkook groaned walking forward.
Finally, after what felt like miles, he reached the edge of the village.
"The Zarukan tribe.. "
The Zharukan people living in a dense forest region, with rich traditions in storytelling, nature worship, and unique woodcrafting skills. They are mainly farmers and poor. They have deep brown skin tone with natural deep black hair. Their language in Korean and some mix tribal language. Mainly illiterate but some human right activists took the charge to educate them. They are protected by government. They have started to wear normal clothes for few years as they got donations from the human rights. But they prefer their own clothes more.

Jungkook. was breathing heavily his legs are tired, but he straightened up, smoothing his jacket as he approached the humble home of the landowner.
It was a simple structure, built with care but lacking the modern touches he was used to. Yet there was something peaceful about it, something rooted in a deeper sense of tradition.
