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

14// Celebrity World

Year 2026
Vienna, Austria
Classical Austrian Art Center

As the cars enter the art center's compound and drive pass the gates, the press goes crazy as they approach the land rovers making them look like a bunch of wild hyenas.

The flashes and the loud chatters plus shouts basically painted a huge chaotic scene in front of them.

Rona glances at Seokhoon who smiled and held her hand. The security team had been trying to make a way for the couple to pass safely and enter the Art Center.

After so much effort and hardwork, Seokhoon was first to exit the car and soon held out his hand to his girlfriend.

Smiling at him, Rona gladly takes his hand and also exits the black Land Rover.

The reporters shout and chatter as they push cameras in front of the couple's faces and bombard random questions.

'Ms. Bae, are you and Mr. Joo dating?'

'Is it true that you are both engaged?'

Despite the total mayhem, fortunately they were able to push through and enter the huge art center in peace.

As the humongous doors closed behind them, the couple lets out a sigh of relief. Rona wipes the invisible sweat on her forehead and smirks at her boyfriend.

'That's literally what I go through almost everyday.... Still not planning to change your decision of staying with this female right here?'

Seokhoon grins and leans down to peck her forehead and shakes his head afterwards.

'I'm ready to shield you from the hyenas outside..... Also, I'm not planning to leave you alone anymore. Your mine forever.... Remember?'

The couple chuckle together as they exchanged flirtatious glances. It wasn't until a voice breaks the sweet ambience and forces them back to reality that they turned their attention to the new comer.

A middle-aged woman approaches the couple with the brightest smile. Nodding her head at Seokhoon, she mostly turns her attention to Rona.

Bowing her head to greet the beautiful Primadonna. She speaks with her thick accent.

'Good morning Ms. Bae, Mr. Joo.... Ms. Bae, Welcome to the Classical Austrian Art Center. I am Mr. Weisman' s secretary Frieda, The director has been very ecstatic and up on his knees to finally meet you Ms. Bae. Must I say, it is also a huge honor to finally meet you. '

Rona glances at Seokhoon who gives her a nod and proud smile. Turning back to the red haired female, Rona reaches her free hand out and shakes the elder female's hands with her sweet smile.

' It's more of an honor for me that you think so much of me. Thank you very much and please.... Just call me Rona.'

Frieda grins as she nods in understanding, pointing towards the elevators. She soon continues in her stoic but still friendly voice.

'If you'll please follow me, Director Weisman is already at the theater awaiting your arrival but before you go and make a grand entrance. Master Clark asked me to take you first to him.'

Rona nods in understanding as she and Seokhoon politely follow the elder female from behind as they walk straight to the elevators.

The employees all glance and whisper at the sight of the couple's interlaced hands.

' Wow!!! Are they dating? '

' So that's why Joo Seokhoon always rejected the queenka group... Flora will be furious though'

'Omg, it's Bae Rona.. She's so pretty.'

Rona had been excited to meet Clark again. He had specifically came to Vienna, to support and attend her welcome ceremony plus concert. Considering, how she basically grew up as a primadonna under his wing and became the brightest star was partly because of his mentorship.

Clark treated the female like his own daughter.

Starting to feel giddy and slightly naughty, Rona leans on the elevator wall and fumbles/plays with her boyfriend's hands.

She was very excited to finally and officially introduce Seokhoon to her elder mentor.

Meanwhile, this time the positions flipped around pretty fast. Seokhoon was slightly nervous at the thought of meeting the legend himself.

A ding sound breaks the silence as Frieda escort the couple out and onto a high ceiling neoclassical gold and marble hallway.

Seokhoon was already familiar with this place since he literally works here everyday of his life but Rona was at awe. The classical Renaissance era paintings and marble statues. Fine art pieces of pottery that's probably already existed for centuries. Each of the unique items display the fancy hallway making it look like a grand and huge palace.

'Master Clark is waiting at Mr. Weisman' s office. I received tips that Mr. Weisman, our dear director has also joined Master Clark at the office. '

Nodding and thanking Frieda for her tips. Rona squeezes Seokhoon's hands at the revelation of her finally meeting Seokhoon' s mentor and boss..... Probably also now her boss and head manager.

Halting in front of a tall and huge golden door. Frieda smiles and turns around to face the young couple.

'We have reached the office, I must leave you for your private conversations but once again..... Welcome to Vienna, Ms. Bae.'

As Frieda walked away, Seokhoon gently pulled the female with him and opened the humongous doors.

2 middle aged men sat on the velvet armchairs. Their eyes perk up at the arrival of the couple.

Rona smiles brightly as she lets her boyfriend's hands go and dash into Clark's fatherly embrace.

'Well Darling..... It's nice to see you adjusting nicely but what makes me happy the most is seeing this beautiful and wide smile of yours. :

Letting the female go, Clark' s gaze turns to the person behind Rona. He scans the tall male from top to bottom making Seokhoon slightly shiver from the serious and intimidating demeanor that Clark clearly emitted.

Thank goodness, a smile appears from Clark's stoic face. Reaching his ring clad hands out, he acknowledges the male's presence.

'You must be the infamous Joo Seokhoon, it's very nice to finally meet you......'

Snapping himself out of dreamland, Seokhoon gulps down all his nervousness and takes the famed maestro's hands to shake.

'It's a huge honor to finally also meet you. Welcome to Vienna...'
