Between Scenes [Penthouse - SeokRona OneShots]

Enough (Mild Smut)

Disclaimer: Penthouse story and characters are not mines. I'm just a big SeokRona fan who still can't move on from them ( ꈍᴗꈍ)

This is a songfic from a beautiful song by a Korean band named Hoppipolla (all members are alumnus from art high school!!). Please check this tragic yet beautiful MV

I wrote this story because of one AO3 reader request about Rona's feelings on Empty Promises fic.

And yeah, it's kinda smut at the end. I tried to not be too explicit but if you are still uncomfortable, the moment it started to be smut, you can go through until the last two lines of the lyric.

================================

***

Opening her eyes, she found herself in a warm place that she missed; his embrace. A place that always gave her comfort and security.  His embrace created some feeling like she didn't have to worry about the world around her.  Four years ago being in his arms was something like a place to come when she didn't know where to go. Especially when she lost her way after her mother's death, his arms were her home. His embrace and his promise to always be with her was a home where she would forget all her sorrows, her loneliness. Those two things were her rock to lean on when the day gets heavier to pass. She clings to both of those things, her heart depended so much on him.

Four years passed, she returned to his arms. An embrace that she never thought she would miss. Like four years ago, she returned to his arms accompanied by a promise to always be with her that he uttered again to her. Two nights and one day with him made her go back to four years ago as if three years in between would not have passed without him. As if three years ago he never left her and gave his back to her.

Telling me to love somebody else, it's too hard for me

She smiled bitterly as she recalled three years ago when he did not only let her go but also expressed a wish that she would find someone better than him. The last night she was in Korea before leaving for the US made it her last night with him, he told her to move on from everything that happened in Korea. That night, instead of giving her a hug, he smiled at her and wished her happiness in a new place, in a new country. Even on the day of her departure he no longer gave her his warm embrace, even if it was just a goodbye hug. Didn't he understand that her heart is still attached to him? Didn't he understand that she is still leaning on hope for them to be together after it's all over? Didn't he understand that saying that she deserves a better man hurt her a lot? Didn't he know that he is asking for something very difficult, something impossible for her to do?

However, she kept remembering it. Those words of hope from him made her a reminder that they were over. That he had given up, that he was no longer fighting for them. And it made her forget him, made her no longer believe in the words of love.

Saying we'll see each other tomorrow, it only make me anxious now

A few strands of hair covered the closed eyes of the man next to her, the man who from yesterday never let go of her body from his arms which she now realized was getting muscular than before. Rona watched his face carefully, the long eyelashes that covered his closed eyes, the sharp nose that fit her face like a puzzle when he kissed her, the chiselled jaw that made him no longer look like a teenager. Before this, she had never looked at Seokhoon so closely to pay attention to every detail of his face. It was ironic because four years ago they spent much longer than they do now, which took only two nights after meeting him again. Their reunion turned out to be a show where they were unable to hide their feelings for each other. Just from a kiss when they met again after three years, she dared to give what was left of her for him. After one night spent together, it was his turn to dare to ask her to spend the rest of her life with him. Once again, he made a promise to her.
