'Evil is prevalent and vehement'. At least that's the truth that Lee Jiyoung lives by. She's an Italian mafia heir who's been hidden all her life so that she is protected. When her cousin Hong Cha-young asks her to move to Seoul to help Vincenzo win...
As I waited for the elevator to reach the apartments unit of the Plaza, I glanced at my watch and relaxed my grip on my suitcase. Suddenly, the elevator stopped and the doors slid open.
It was a tall, good-looking man who was dressed in a suit and was carrying a briefcase. He got in without a word, pressed the floor button, and moved to a corner of the elevator.
I noticed that the floor we had stopped on contained shops and the tenants of the Plaza were walking to-and-fro. Considering the fact that it was quite late at night, it was strangely comforting to see so many people.
When the elevator reached the first floor of the apartments unit, I got out and started to walk around, looking for my apartment. For the next 20 minutes, I walked around the entire apartments unit, but I couldn't find where I was supposed to move in.
When I reached the top floor, I ran into the same man again, but this time he wasn't wearing a suit anymore. Instead, he wore designer sleeping robes. I realized that the man lived on this floor.

As I passed by him, he said, "It looks like you've been walking around for a long time, Miss." I said, turning around to look at him, "I have. How did you notice?".
He smiled lightly and said, "You've been pulling a suitcase with you since you got off the elevator. This obviously means that you're lost. Which apartment number are you?". I said, also smiling, "607." The man said, "Well, I guess we're neighbors then."
He pointed at the door to his left and sure enough, it had the number '607' on it. I bowed to him slightly, went over to the door and opened it with my keys. I said, "Thank you, neighbor. Have a good night." Then, I entered my apartment and shut the door.
I switched on the lights and looked around the small living space. There was a small kitchen, one bathroom, a bedroom and a little living room with a coffee table and a TV.
I left my bag in the bedroom and went back to the living room. I looked out the window to the stars and said, "I made you a promise, Chayoung. I'll meet the tenants tomorrow as you told me to. And hopefully, I'll earn their trust. Perché ne avrò bisogno nella guerra che sta arrivando (Because I will need it in the war that's coming)."
