CHAPTER 37 - CONFIDANT - SAERAN POV
Saeran never thought about talking about what had happened before he came to be with Ran. He was happy and he didn't want to think about how life was before. What if it made everything worse? What if it made her realize what a mistake she made to take them in?
But.. She loved them. He knew this. As the months passed he could see all the things that she did for them was because she loved them. A stranger completely unrelated to them who decided to become their mom. Her hugs, kisses and care for them.
If Saeyoung could trust a complete stranger to their secret past then he should be able to trust someone that had become his mom. As soon as he started to talk about it, it all came spilling out. Everything, including all the sadness and helplessness that he had felt. She had just sat there quietly listening to him as if he was confessing the terrible sin that was his birth and life.
After he finished talking he could only wait in silence for her reaction to everything that he had just said. Saeran was then enveloped in a tight and warm embrace. He could hear her talking to him in a quiet, but firm voice.
"I promise I won't let you guys go. You are more precious to me than anything in the world."
She then looked at him teary eyed. "After all, I may have taken you from that place, but you and Saeyoung both save me from my loneliness everyday. Remember that."
Saeran nodded vigorously. He understood now why Saeyoung did what he did. He suddenly felt so much lighter now as if a weight he didn't even realize he had been carrying with him had been lifted.
She then added viciously, "Next time anyone tells you that you're worthless or not good enough. I'll personally end them myself."
