"Does life turn out the way you plan? You looked better with a guitar or drums than you did with a baton."
"But why are you here so suddenly? All the way to New York from LA?"
The 2 men hesitated before taking out their business cards to hand to Jun Hyuk.
"Huh? This…?"
"It was a decision to work with the great Jun. First, know that we’re not doing this because of the incredible salary. Ha ha."
The business card said CEO and Chief Producer. The JS Foundation affiliate record label’s last selections were Alex Jenkin and Eli Gotez.
"Mr. Stern worried that it would become a label specialized in classical music. Our Maestro is working in all areas, so he wanted us to maximize the advantages."
"I like it whatever the reason is. It’s uncomfortable for me to work with people I meet for the first time, too."
"What is it? Then are you saying that your familiarity with us is more important than our qualifications?"
"Qualifications are important to someone like Isaac. I like people I’m comfortable with."
It sounded like a joke, but the 2 men had nothing to say. He is right. There is no reason to be concerned with ability when he is able to handle all processes of producing a record.
"Anyway, I’m glad you’re here. I needed help with organization so you came at exactly the right time."
"Organization? What?"
Jun Hyuk pulled files saved on the studio server up on the monitor.
"This is music I’ve been creating. I left the ones that need orchestration accompaniment separate. They’re complete other than those, so look at all of them and let me know what you think I should do."
"What is this? Sing? Did you sing?"
Alex Jenkin pointed to a folder titled ‘Sing’.
"No. I played the singing part on the piano. The song can be sung according to that melody. They need work on lyrics, too."
Eli Gotez checked the number of folders and his jaw dropped.
"64? I’m sure this means there’s a total of 64 songs?"
"Yes. I just made them as I thought of them, so I haven’t configured albums yet. You two can classify these songs, make them into album units, and bring on singers who fit them."
With this many songs, they can make at least 7 albums. They heard that he had already created 4 albums… They could not even imagine how he was handling this incredible workload.
"What are you doing? You should hurry up and get started."
"Now?"
"Of course. Call in the record label employees if you need to as well. You think Isaac is giving you a huge salary for nothing? This is a place where you need to get to work no matter what, starting on the first day. I don’t know how much you’re making, but you’re on the losing side."

"This is Mr. Yoon. We brought him on as JS Foundation’s Chairman. And these are the people on the Board of Directors."
Yoon Kwang Hun met the 4 people who would be directing the foundation with President Stern. They are well achieved in their respective areas and they have worked to create a better world than they have for their own wealth and glory.
As the 4 directors enjoyed the restaurant’s steak and wine, they passionately debated the business JS Foundation would need to focus on going forward.
"Malaria is a bigger problem than AIDS in Africa. AIDS just gets more attention because it has spread to western society, but the death rate from malaria is actually overwhelming."
"That’s why I’m saying we need to figure out the drinking water problem. Water is directly connected to hygiene. Since pipes are impossible, the best resolution for now are wells."
"We need to work on the expansion of medical staff as well. How long are we going to rely on volunteer work for? They need a salary at least to support their families. Even with just that, there will be more people applying to work."
While the directors were discussing the business that took priority to each of them, Yoon Kwang Hun said nothing, eating his steak and drinking his wine.
