Earlier that night...

"Jungkook, ma'boy! How are you!" The older man grinned at him as he approached wielding a glass of champagne. Jungkook merely smiled back at his former boss and allowed him to grab his shoulder and lead him into the gala. His boss introduced him to numerous important men and women who all congratulated him on his promotion, telling him over and over again how honored he should feel to be accepted into such a high position so quickly.

"How did you do it Mr. Jeon?" A women in an expensive looking dress asked him, amazement clear in her voice "Not only did you join the company a few months ago, but no you've moved to the Board of Trustees? And at the young age of 21!" The other half dozen people surrounding them whispered excited agreements, eager to know what the secret was.

His boss drug him out before he could answer, explaining that he had an urgent calling from the President, earning disappointed groans and promises to talk later that Jungkook knew would never be fulfilled.

He was led back past the large ball room, where the gala was being hosted, through long hallways until he reached a set of grand doors that led into an office. The man in the chair was large, hair begging to grey, and incredibly intimidating. His deep set eyes seemed to pick apart whoever he cast his gaze onto, almost as if they were trying to deem if they were worthy of existing or not. He turned towards Jungkook and smiled, a frightening expression on the mans face.

"Are you ready Mr. Jeon? After this you will be officially a member of the Board." The President inquired, eyebrow raised as though he expected Jungkook to cower and back out of his promise

Jungkook swallowed once before nodding.

After being "cleansed" and dressed in a loose fitting robe that nearly fell off his shoulders, Jungkook was ushered down multiple halls in the grand mansion the President owned and down a set of stairs underneath the house into a cellar of sorts. There were multiple men he recognized wearing heavy black robes not so different from his own. They were other board members along with his boss and the President who, instead of the coal black robes, wore crimson red ones. He took a breath before entering, remembering what he signed up for.

Jeon do you know why I called you into my office?

"...No sir?"

Jungkook had been working for a privately owned company for a few months, finally glad to have a real job, he hardly recognized the odd behavior of the higher ups. He heard rumors of a secret board of members that went past the mere title "Board of Trustees." They had secret parties and gatherings that were rumored to be host to gambling, women, and wealth. Some rumors told another story, they spoke of dark magic being practiced, but were often cast aside as ludicrous.

His boss looked at him a moment before continuing

"The president has been watching your work recently... he decided that you would be the best choice to fill the recent opening in our Board of Trustees.

His boss continued to elaborate how the sudden passing of the last member meant an open spot and how Jungkook's "extraordinary work" had caught the eye of the President. He explained that being on the board as great honor and how he would never have to worry about money again. How lavish events were held and members were granted any wish a man could have, women, money, power... you name it and it would be at Jungkook's beck and command if he accepted. An idea began to form in his mind at these words.

"Any wish I have...."

Jungkook was in a daze at the offer, convinced he was dreaming and that all of this was too good to be true.

"The only thing is... you have to go through an "initiation" of sorts..." The mans voice faltered a moment before he smiled again "Just a few vows of loyalty to the foundation so that the President knows your trustworthy.

Jungkook accepted the generous offer eagerly and was soon moved out of his small cubicle into a upper floor he didn't even know existed, as it was exclusively reserved for board members.

The week that followed gave him no new insight on what he would be doing in his new position or when he would start, but instead a private letter from the President invited him to a gala being held in honor of the previous members death where his initiation would take place.
