Mafia (Heejay)

Chapter 1 *shadows and light*

In the bustling city of Verona, the nightlife thrived amidst the shadows cast by towering skyscrapers. It was here that Heeseung "The Snake" Moretti ruled the underworld with an iron fist. Known for his ruthless tactics and cunning strategies, Heeseung had built an empire of fear and respect. The city's black market was under his control, and his name struck terror into the hearts of those who dared to oppose him.

Heeseung's rise to power was marked by blood and betrayal. His ascent in the criminal world was swift and merciless. He operated from the shadows, orchestrating deals and eliminating threats with cold precision. Under his watchful eye, the shadows of Verona thrived, and fear permeated the lives of its residents.

Amidst this darkness, a forgotten church stood in the heart of Verona, offering a stark contrast to the city's underbelly. The church, once a beacon of hope, had fallen into disrepair, its congregation dwindling over the years. Yet, within its walls lived a young man named jongseong, park jongseong or mostly known Jay. Jay possessed an ethereal beauty and a gentle demeanor that made him seem almost otherworldly. Many who met him swore they felt a homey aura around him, earning him the nickname "The Angel of Verona." for his known kindness and how people felt like they are at home when they are with jay.

Jay dedicated his life to helping the downtrodden and the desperate. His small acts of kindness, from feeding the hungry to providing shelter to the homeless, brought light to the darkest corners of the city. His compassion and unwavering belief in goodness made him a beacon of hope in a world dominated by greed and corruption.

One fateful night, Heeseung received a tip that a rival gang planned to meet in the small abandon house, using it as a cover for their illegal activities. Determined to crush his enemies, Heeseung and his men stormed the small abandon house, weapons drawn and hearts set on violence. They moved through the darkened streets, their footsteps echoing in the night as they approached their destination.

Inside the house, Jay was tending to a group of homeless people. The sight of him, bathed in the soft glow of candlelight, momentarily halted Heeseung's men. Jay's presence seemed almost surreal, a stark contrast to the violence that surrounded him. Heeseung, however, was not swayed. He demanded to know where the rival gang was hiding.

Jay, unflinching and serene, looked into Heeseung's eyes. "There is no one here but those in need of help," he said softly. "Violence will only bring more suffering. Please, put down your weapons."

Heeseung scoffed, but something in Jay's gaze made him pause. There was a purity and strength in his eyes that he had never seen before. Despite his best efforts to remain indifferent, Heeseung felt a strange pull towards Jay's kindness. Against his better judgment, he ordered his men to stand down. They reluctantly complied, confused by their boss's sudden change of heart.

Jay smile at heeseung as he saw heeseung ordering his men to put down their weapon. That is the smile that was making Heeseung feeling butterflies in his stomach. Jay ask the homeless people to go to sleep after they are done eating as the weather is getting colder. Jay then turn towards Heeseung asking if they are in need of anything more. "No.. we do not need anything anymore." Heeseung replied. Jay slowly close the door not before advising Heeseung to go home as the night are getting darker. Heeseung and his men went back to their places.
