1001 Roses

Author's POV

It's been two weeks since the two kids became close friends, Jungkook and Lily. Lily almost always visits Jungkook in his house. Even Sohee also can't believe they both got together closely in this short period.
She always cooks them snacks when Lilly comes to their house. They both enjoy each other's company.

On the other hand, the case of the Trinity Orphanage doesn't seem to end. Jung-su appointed four policemen to guard the orphanage at night and see if something suspicious was happening. But nothing is happening. Maybe they got scared of the cops, but something in Jung-su told him not to believe that. The silence before the storm.

It's night at 11:30 pm. He didn't go to his house. He is sitting inside his cabin finding more clues in the case. Suddenly Martin came into his cabin looking terrified.

"What happened, Martin?"
Jung-su asked him with his eyebrows furrowed.

"Sir, the cops who were guarding the orphanage were no more."
Martin said to Jung-su who couldn't believe his ears right now.

"What are you saying, Martin? Do you think this is a joke?"
Jung-su shouted at him.

"I'm not kidding, Sir. They got killed."
Martin said.

Jung-su ran out of the cabin with Martin running behind him with the other cops who were present in the station. All of them got in the car and drove towards the orphanage. During the whole ride, Jung-Su's mind was clouded with a lot of questions.
Who killed them? How can they get killed? Who has the guts to kill the cops? It only made Jung-su burn inside.

They reached the place. Everyone got outside the car and ran inside the orphanage only to gasp at the scene.
The four cop's throats were sliced, and stabbed in their stomach. Their bodies are placed at the entrance of the orphanage building's door. It was brutal.

Jung-su doesn't know what to do. But he knows this is not the right time to think. He needs to act fast. So he asks Martin to send the people who were in the orphanage to send them somewhere safe until everything is good. The forensic department came there and got their bodies and took some evidence which they got from there.

The whole of South Korea was shocked by this news. Four cops got killed mysteriously. No one knows who? and how. The public is losing their trust in the police after what happened.

The entire media is roasting the police. The higher officials don't know what to do. The entire police department is in chaos. How can somebody kill a cop? Who gave them guys to do it?

𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒐𝒔. That's what's happening everywhere. Jung-su can't sleep at night peacefully knowing there are hundreds of lives depending on him to save them. Sohee is also in her eighth month of pregnancy, She also needs attention and love. But she can't blame Jung-su. She is trying her best not to show she is not okay. Because Jung-su is hardly coming home because of this case.

The autopsy reports of the cops finally came out. The doctor said they were stabbed five times until the knife tip pierced through their intestines. Their throats were sliced. Punches on their jaw cause jaw dislocation. All four of them got killed in the same way.

They don't know the motive behind the same way of killing. But they won't let the criminal go away easily.

Jung-su rang the bell of his house. Sohee opened the door to see a tired Jung-su entering the home. She closed the door and turned back to see Jung-su removing his shoes.
He went inside the living room and sat on the couch. Sohee went to the kitchen brought a glass of water for him and gave it to him. Jung-su gulped the whole water and placed the glass on the center table. Sohee sat beside him and Jung-su leaned his head on her shoulder.
