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

S3 When The Clock Struck Midnight (6.2)

When Cinderella entered the ballroom, she immediately caught Prince Charming's eyes. For the rest of the night, the prince and lady waltzed away as they fell in love with each other.

In the modern world, Seokhoon who looked dashing and handsome would be the Prince Charming of the story.

Meanwhile, his Cinderella was a poor but naive and beautiful young woman who had a beautiful voice.... Rona.

Just like Cinderella and the prince, the young individuals fell in love and became lovers.

But fairytales tend to mess up the plot starting from there.

Just like the tragic story of Romeo & Juliet, Seokhoon and Rona couldn't be together due to their respective families.....

But the things is they still did and proved to the world that they weren't gonna be the Romeo and Juliet type.

They were young, beautiful, and in love until the clock struck 12 and the dream was ultimately over.

He had thought that it was better to leave her...

If I were to leave then nothing could possibly hurt her.... If I were to leave her then I am protecting her.

The pain of seperating had affected them both a lot. But what can they do? When the situation you have cannot at all be controlled.

The answer is simple, 'You just go with the flow'

Seokhoon quietly dressed in the sterilized PPE and enters the ICU room.

The room was quiet except for the rumbling of the life support machine and the beeping of the heart rate monitor.

The room was chilly, Seokhoon silently sat on the chair beside her bed and gently took her hands.

'Rona yah... It's me, Dr. Ha is okay now. Ajhusshi' s head wound has started to heal....so don't worry too much. Stay healthy and quickly come back to us, a lot of people are still waiting for you. '

A tear escapes from Seokhoon' s eyes as he gazes at Rona's face.

A tube had been inserted in her mouth and oxygen had been attached as well.

It was a painful sight for Seokhoon, he knew how Rona may actually hate to be put on these machines and needles just so that she could be kept alive.

As he stayed by her side and helped arrange her blankets, he suddenly notices her finger moving.

Looking up at Rona, he quickly stands and calls her name.

'Rona yah... Can you hear me? Are you awake?.... It's me Seokhoon.'

Rona opens her eyes weakly and looks at Seokhoon in pure confusion.

She could remember Seokhoon and was in the hallucination stage.

"The scars left in that faded memory, The truth buried in the past.
Without even knowing where I'm going, I wander in the pitch black darkness.

Rona's eyes held so much coldness and unfamiliarity that Seokhoon had probably realized.... This wasn't anymore the girl he fell for.

She was weak and in pain, but the fact that she couldn't talk and probably remember him... Had struck his heart the most.

He managed to control his expressions and forced a smile in front of her.

A stray tear had secretly escaped his eyes and had landed on her hands prompting her to feel a sensation.
