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

S3 Intoxicated Truth (19.3)

'Aishhh, you startled me..... Stop doing that and try to tone it down a bit.'

Yoonchul nags as he slightly glares at the colorfully dressed man who sat across from him.

Kyujin couldn't care less as he covered his mouth and dramatically pointed to his phone with a exaggerated smile.

' Did something good happen? '

Smiling politely, Yoo Dongpil asks as he looks up at Kyujin.

All this chaotic banters, while Seokhoon looks up and silently rolls his eyes at the adults. If it wasn't because of his father's crimes and if it isn't just for getting his trust.... He didn't even need to be there.

Back to the adults, swiftly connecting his phone to a wire on the table. Kyujin explains excitedly as he waits for the projector in front of them to open and flash out his phone's screen.

'You see because of the crazy things that's been happening around here.

I put someone to constantly keep tabs on my son and..... Tonight I received the most  peculiar and exciting pictures.'

As if on cue, the screen opens and everyone literally freezes and stops from what they were doing just a few seconds earlier.

Dongpil rubs his eyes, not believing himself at as he scans the picture that was displayed on the huge screen.

Ha Yoonchul gulped down his saliva as he slightly turns his gaze towards the silent and frozen male beside him.

Yes, Joo Seokhoon had the most intense and icy glare as he looks at the picture in pure horror and disbelief.

The picture  could somehow be considered scandalous if you didn't know the context of it.

But it basically showed a back view of Lee Minhyuk who was somehow leaning towards Rona who meanwhile laid sideways on the leather cushion of the car seat with her eyes shut.

If you look at the picture, the duo could somehow be perceived as lovers. Since their position could be interpreted as kissing.

Clapping his hands proudly and somehow oblivious to the sudden tension in the meeting room. Lee Kyujin chuckles and speaks in a bright voice.

'Well would you look at that. I didn't expect this but I'm not rejecting the match either.

My son has grown up and he even chose a matching partner.

Two singers together.... It's a match made in heaven.'

Glancing up at Kyujin and attempting to brighten up the air. Yoo Dongpil stands and follows suit as he flatters the man with claps and words or congratulations.

Meanwhile, Joo Seokhoon had the most emotionless expression as he tightens his fist and bites onto his lips as if enduring the seething and boiling anger and frustration that started to creep inside his heart and whole being.

Technically, he had no right to feel that way. He was the one who chose to let go of her hand and coldly walk away.... Heck, he even said a couple of harsh things to hurt her. But all she did was reassure and look out for him even until the end.

But what bothered him the most was the fact that Lee Minhyuk had even dared to make a move when he clearly knows the wounds from the break up were still fresh and painful.

Gathering all his courage to look up yet again. Joo Seokhoon gulps as he endures the obviously pricking feeling of the tears that started to gather in his eyes.

It had been a month since he saw Rona's face. All he had was the old snapshots of her and him during their short lived dating period and a little photo booth picture from their dste that was displayed in his wallet.

Indeed, has her face changed a lot. Even from afar, Seokhoon could see the newly formed and sunken dark circles under her eyes. Even her skin color had deteriorated.

He figures it was probably because of stress, exhaustion and yet again in typical stubborn Bae Rona fashion lack of sleep and skipping meals.

Despite the painful sting caused by the unexpected picture. Seokhoon still worried about the love that never left his heart. But as he gazed at the picture, the screen would be shut off as Lee Kyujin notices Dantae approaching the room from afar.

And again, the 4 elder males reunite and laugh plus chatter about their presumably new evil and corrupt plans.

-----------------------------------------------------

Back to the private room of the luxurious and famed restaurant of the Shilla Hotel. Minhyuk smiles sympathetically as he observes the female in front of him.

After eating a few courses, the male had offered a vintage wine for the female as a way of celebration. He had opted not to drink as he still had to drive back but turns out Bae Rona was a light drinker and would get drunk and tipsy instantly even just after 2 glasses.

What he didn't expect though was that she would rant and mostly speak about her feelings as the effects of the alcohol started to kick in.

With a few tears streaking down her face and wobbling on her chair. Rona rants in a sad and sobbing voice.

'I mean... It hurts here you know

My eomma isn't here - - -

Then he left me, aish... That jerk and yet he promised me he wouldn't let me go or hurt me.'

Sobbing and waving her hands from the haziness. Rona continues as Minhyuk listens and silently looks at her sad and drunk expressions.

' He even offered to go to America with me.... I'm alone again, I'm always so cursed.

I was lonely before, I thought I could finally escape it.... But why am I so lonely again.

I'm so sad, I'm so sad that I feel like this dumb and weak heart is on fire everyday. '

At impulse and in a intoxicated state, Rona reaches her fist up and starts to punch her heart area.

Alerted and startled at her actions. Minhyuk leaps up and quickly kneels beside the female's chair to hold onto her arms preventing her to impulsively hurt herself yet again.

Lee Minhyuk could only thank his brain for actually reserving a private room as he whispers words of comfort to the slurry and drunk female.
