It Was Always You // Joo Seokhoon × Bae Rona ✨🌌🌠

12// World Famous Primadonna

Year 2026
Vienna, Austria
Classical Austrian Art Center

'Call all of them and tell them to gather at the theater as soon as possible. We have to make a good first impression.'

Mr. Weisman, the head director of the Classical Austrian Art Center ordered to his personal assistant with his loud and hoarse voice through the telephone as he excitedly clasps his hands together.

He had ordered all the singers, musicians and employees to gather as they were about to welcome 'the world's most famous Primadonna' to Vienna.

After getting a phone call from Clark a few weeks prior, the middle aged director was jumping in excitement at the thought of Rona finally joining his art center.

Currently, he was the only person besides SangYeob who knew of Rona's permanent stay in Vienna and of course her relationship with Seokhoon.

After a little call with the dashing pianist that morning, he had been jumpy about meeting the famous female star.

Seokhoon was to arrive with Rona at around noon. It would come as a surprise since it would be the first time the famous pianist and primadonna finally reveal their relationship to the public.

Year 2026
Vienna, Austria
Seokhoon's Apartment

Rona glances at the mirror for the last time as she checks and touches up her make up.

For her 'grand and official entrance' to Seokhoon's work place.... Now her workplace and of course, to face the thousands of press who would be in attendance and waiting for her.

The primadonna's staff had arrived at the apartment early that morning to glam and doll the female up.

She wore a beautiful vintage inspired style blue wool one piece dress and paired it with a tall denim heel which perfectly highlighted her elegance and youthful side.

Being the star couple that they are expected to be. Seokhoon had decided to match with the color scheme and wore a white blazer and a loose blue polo that flaunted his boyish/ manly side.

As the lovers sit on the love seat beside each other in the cozy living room. SangYeob who had just gotten to know HyunMin, Rona's manager chatted with each other about certain protocols and routes in case there would be unexpected events.

After the quiet and private time yesterday, the couple now had to face the real world.

Word had gotten out this morning of Rona's secret arrival in Vienna a few days ago and by now the paparazzi and press were in full hunter mode for the young Primadonna.

Rona silently fumbles with her hands nervously as the realization starts to kick in of her meeting new people and possibly having tons of eyes on her.

Despite being on stage and even going on numerous interviews since the start of her career. There was this childlike innocence that surrounded the beautiful female. She was still shy and introverted, making it part of her charm and also branding her signature feminine side.

Noticing her silent actions, Seokhoon gently interlaces their hands together and leans in to peck her forehead.

'You'll be fine.... I'm sure they will all love you. I'm also beside you so don't worry and overthink too much.'

A smile soon finds itself on the corner of her lips as she tightens her hold on his hands and mouths a silent 'thank you'.

Trying to lighten the mood up, Seokhoon grins and speaks excitedly.

'Mr. Weisman called me this morning.... His apparently gonna hold a grand welcome for the "world's most famous Primadonna".

Rona chuckles and waves off his teasing with her smirk.

Gently stroking her hands with his thumb, the male continues.

'I could already imagine the reactions of the resident musicians. They will probably freak out once they see you. I once caught them watching some of your old performances..... Their apparently huge fans of yours.'

Rona smiles and lays her head on her boyfriend's shoulder as a sign of thanks for his neverending support and comfort.

Closing his eyes, Seokhoon sweetly leaves a affectionate peck on her hair and ever so gently engulfs his girlfriend in a sweet embrace.

The 2 managers grin as they glance at the couple who was evidently in their own world.

Clearing his throat, HyunMin smiles and speaks catching the attention of the young lovers.

'We're going to depart soon, so it might be a good idea to do some last touch up' s and also..... There are many members of the media at the entrance of the art center so prepare your perfect smile. '

Rona sighs as she glances at her boyfriend who gives her a reassuring grin and a light squeeze on the hands.

Looking up at her manager, Rona asks in her sweet voice.

' How about Clark? '

Hyunmin grins and replies with a slight reassuring nod.

'I received messages from his secretary that he is also on his way.... So try to loosen up and show them how a world class Primadonna runs a whole show.'

Finally giggling at her manager's pep talk. Rona nods and replies with her bright tone.

'It's not a even a show..... Don't exaggerate when we get there oppa. It's just a welcome ceremony for me.'

The little group of 4 erupt in laughter as they witness Rona's little bickers with her manager.

It wasn't until SangYeob reminded them that it was finally time, did they all move out of the apartment and onto the black tinted land rover.

The managers rode on a seperate car from the couple. Considering it was a formal welcome event. There were 3 cars, the one in the middle was reserved especially for the couple. Whilst the other 2 were simply for security purposes.... Since technically, they are both famous celebrities.

As the cars start moving, the driver of the couple's car greet them and also follows the escort car to exit towards the main streets.

Rona slightly trembles from the nervousness and pressure. It wasn't until a warm hand places itself on her lap did she look up and meet the comforting grey orbs that affectionately looked down on her hazel ones.

Smiling and taking her hands in his, Seokhoon swiftly leans in and attaches their lips together.

Without even caring about the driver's presence, Seokhoon grabs her by the waist and brings her as close as he can. Closing his eyes, he kisses her and caresses her cheeks with his thumb and strokes her hair. Savoring her lips on his, the couple nearly forgets that they were in public. It wasn't until Rona came to her senses, that she gently pushed her boyfriend away and gave him 'the eye'.

'You just messed up my lipstick.'

And with that the couple chuckles at each other, as Seokhoon leans in to peck her slightly swollen lips for the last time.
