The fluorescent lights of Director Lee’s office hummed, casting a sterile glow on the two figures seated opposite his large, uncluttered desk. Y/N picked at a loose thread on her sensible trousers, while Sunghoon, impeccably dressed as always, maintained an air of studied calm. The Director, a man whose gaze could dissect a lie from twenty paces, steepled his fingers, his eyes moving between them.

"Y/N, Sunghoon," Director Lee began, his voice a low rumble. "I wouldn't call you in personally if this wasn't critical. We have a situation brewing in Seoul. The Ilustre Consortium, a new player, is quietly buying up significant land in the area. Our intelligence suggests they're not just interested in coconuts." Sunghoon raised an eyebrow, a flicker of interest in his usually placid expression. "A front, then? For what?" "That's what we need you to find out," Lee replied, pushing a slim file across the desk. "Initial reports indicate they might be acquiring properties around historic energy ley lines. Potentially for a new, unsanctioned energy project. Or worse, something that could destabilize the region." Y/N leaned forward, her earlier fidgeting forgotten. "Seoul is… quite. Rural. This feels like a very deliberate choice for something high-stakes."

"Precisely," Lee confirmed. "It allows them to operate under the radar. Your cover will be sustainable tourism consultants. Young, ambitious couple looking to invest in local eco-ventures. You'll be staying at the US Riverside Inn, a charming but strategically located place that's popular with visitors. Get close to the local landowners, especially those who have recently sold to Ilustre. Find out what they know, what was promised, and most importantly, what Ilustre’s true intentions are."
