"Chrysanthemums"

Chapter 2
The Police arrived

Her cold body on the ground

Voices of people I've never seen before

Saeyoung
He... he is not here

She is alone now...
Her eyes are closed... Maybe she finally found peace far away from a devil like me...

It's all my fault

"Saeran! Come here!"
A mint haired guy ran into the house where the Police were currently investigating the death of
a certain women.

That child was just shocked.

V reached the little boy and said:
"Saeran don't look... Come here."
He hugged Saeran, then a police officer said:
"Excuse me sir. you can't stay here, as you can see we are currently investigating..."
She looked at them both and asked:
"Are you related to this women by any chance?"

V answered:
"I'm sorry I don't know who she is, the child was just curious and he ran inside... I'll keep a better eye on him from now on.
Excuse me."

They started to walk heading for the door when the police officer suddenly asked:
"Is he your son?"

V turned his head towards her and said:
"No... I'm looking after him... that's all."

The police officer continued:
"Oh sorry... It's just that we're currently searching for the victim's  sons and..."

For a moment
She looked at Saeran

"I'd better continue my investigation... Please go out Sir. this is not a place for a child to stay here any longer..."

V remained in silence for a moment:
"...Thank you"

They walked out of the house as soon as V thanked the police officer...
Maybe she understood...

Who knows.

3 weeks later

The police "officially" closed the case.
They said she died from an accidental overdose of different types of drugs mixed with alcohol and declared the children "missing".

That day at sunset, V and Rika decided to accompany Saeran to the cemetery to let him see his mother's grave...
And to give him a last possibility to say her goodbye.

As expected the only flowers there, on the grave were the ones they brought...
Some Chrysanthemums...

Saeran began to cry... It was the first time since he saw her lifeless body on the ground 3 weeks ago.
Until that day Saeran was too shocked even to cry...
But in front of her grave
Tears came out by themselves...

Rika held his hand and said:

"Saeran...
I'll be a mother to you
Just have faith".

Saeran was even running out of tears

V knelt before Saeran and gently said:
"Saeran look at me"
"We will look after you from now on...

me and Rika"

He continued:
"Saeyoung is fine

Trust me

You will be fine from now on too,

I'll protect you

I promise"
