One Shots // Bae Rona x Joo Seokhoon ✨💫🌃

S3 : Painful Truth (1.3)

"Logan tells Rona how and who killed her mother, believing that it was only right for her to know. Rona has a hard time to process everything and suddenly is met by a new revelation. Logan reveals that her father has always been Ha Yoonchul, the man who betrayed her and her mother. Having a hard time to accept all this reality, she turns to someone who's also broke her heart quite a few times and this time he promises to never let her go. "

—--—--——--—--——--—--——--—--—
Entering the cottage in utter confusion, Rona scans the home and wonders how Suryeon could be here.

'Ajuhmma....? Are you here? It's me Rona.'

'Rona yah, annyeong.... You've grown into a woman after so many months I see.'

Startled at the very familiar voice, Rona freezes as she struggles to balance between reality and imagination.

Slowly turning around, she simply couldn't believe and understand. There he was, Logan Lee alive and well sitting on his wheelchair.

With tears pricking her eyes, Rona struggles to contain her emotions as she runs towards Logan and wraps him in a huge embrace.

'SSAEM!!!!'

Feeling his emotions start to falter, Logan contains his tears as he strokes Rona's long hair and returns her embrace.

'Aigoo... You've grown into such a beautiful young woman. It must have been hard Rona yah.'

Letting go of Logan, Rona wipes her tears and holds onto his hands as she kneels to be at eye level with him.

'Ssaem... What happened? Who did this to you and how are you here? Where's Ms. Shim?'

Calming Rona down and leading her to sit on the cream and beige sofa set, he squeezes the younger ones hands and sighs.

'Ssaem called you here to tell you something very important. How I survived and who did this to me.... I'll tell you another time. But you have to be very careful of Cheon SeoJin, Rona yah....'

Rona looks at Logan with her confused gaze and tilts her head with a questioning look.

' What are you talking about ssaem? I even challenged Cheon ssaem.... She hasn't done anything to harm me yet and I doubt she'll do anything to me. '

Logan looks at Rona and holds her wrist to get her attention.

'Rona yah, Cheon SeoJin was the culprit who murdered your mother. I know I shouldn't tell you this suddenly but I have to tell you because Cheon SeoJin is one dangerous person. The fact that you are also closely affiliated with CheongHa now makes you a person who's in danger. '

Processing what she has just heard, Rona's tears trickle down her eyes. With a blank expression she starts to laugh but with so much pain in her voice.

' Ssaem... Don't joke around like that. What are you talking about? '

Logan sighs and finally decides to tell Rona the full truth.

'The reason why I have to tell you this is because if Cheon SeoJin finds out about your real identity.... You'll be first to die in her list..... '

'Rona yah.... Before I had went back to the US.... Your mom told me something and since she can't be here with you now, I have to tell you something extremely important....'

Taking his breathe and gazing at the hazel eyed girl, Logan grips her hands and strokes it with his thumb as a sign of reassurance.

' Your real father.... Your biological father is alive Rona yah. Ha Yoonchul is your father. '

At that exact moment Rona's heart dropped and time seems to have paused suddenly around her.

Letting Logan's hands go and suddenly jolting up, Rona holds onto her head and starts to feel her breathe shorten. It was as if she started to suffocate and the room around her started to spin and feel small.

The flashbacks came like a tsunami, the times when Yoonchul became her fake stepfather and when he betrayed her. The moment they took their first and last family picture together and finally... In her mother's funeral.

'Ssaem... That's a very funny joke. Please don't do that to me.'

Before Logan could even explain, Rona dashes out  the cottage in tears as she struggles to accept the newly revealed revelations.

Running out towards the pathway, without looking or paying attention to her surroundings. Rona weeped and simply wanted out of the cottage.

A hand suddenly pulls her to a stop and wraps her in a embrace.

She knew who it was, without anymore energy to pull away or reject him. Rona hides her face in his chest and cries so hard that you could simply feel all her sorrow.

Stroking her head and also with tears trickling down his eyes, Seokhoon lays his chin on top of her head and kisses her hair gently.

'It's okay... It's gonna be okay, I'm here calm down.'

Trembling and feeling her heart hurt too much, Rona couldn't handle it and faints on the spot. It was thanks to Seokhoon holding her that she didn't fall down onto the ground.

Feeling her lose her energy and leaning completely on his body, Seokhoon panics and gazes at Rona with his panic stricken face.

'RONA YAH!!! Rona.... Wake up, what's wrong... Please wake up.'

With his shaky voice he grips onto her body and cups her unconscious face.

'What's wrong? What happened?'

Panicked and worried, Yoonchul comes out from his hiding place and runs towards the couple (not).

Examining her pale face and listening to her heartbeat through her neck, he nods and sighs.

'She was just suddenly stressed and shocked that she couldn't take it... It's probably best to take her to the bedroom upstairs. I'll get an IV for her.'

Seokhoon nods and finally carries his unconscious (not) girlfriend in bridal style towards the cottage entrance.
