The Road We Walk On

13 | I will show you

Hera Place, Seoul

Omma where is Oppa? I have not seen him the entire day.

Seokkyung came bursting through Suryeon's home office, she had been trying to find Seokhoon from yesterday till today. She did not see him come home so she thought maybe he was over at Rona's but she had not seen any trace of him. Suryeon stiffened when Seokkyung asked the question, she had been trying to figure out how best to approach this whole thing.

Seokhoon is no longer in Seoul.

What?! Why did he leave?

Suryeon pulled out Seokhoon's acceptance letter and showed it to Seokkyung. Your brother applied to Juilliard and he managed to get in. So he decided to go to New York instead.

Seokkyung recalled seeing the application before and remembered that apart from his application form there was Rona's as well. Did Rona get in as well?

Suryeon nodded, not saying anything else. Seokhoon had told her before he left to be cautious of mentioning Rona in front of Seokkyung. He explained that he believed that she was jealous of Rona and her interactions with not just him but also herself. I can't believe it, he actually went and did it. He has abandoned me.

No he didn't, this decision was not easy for him to make. Seokhoon told me that he left a letter explaining his actions to you. It is on your desk. Did you not see it? But Seokkyung, let me ask you this, as much as you two are twins, how much longer do you want your brother to accompany you? You two are fast approaching adults, you need to figure out who you are with or without each other. He is trying to find his own path, you should too.

A letter doesn't do anything. Why should I bother to read it when he left me. What is there more to say?! So you're telling me that he wants to find his own path with Rona, while leaving me behind right? What do you know about this Omma? You were so focused on your revenge for so long that you more or less abandoned Seokhoon and I. For so long, we only had each other, there is nothing wrong with wanting to be with Oppa forever.

I understand that Seokkyung, but you have to also figure out who you are without him right?

Shut up! You only care about Rona anyways, see in the end she ended up in Juilliard. Well I will show you and Appa, I can get into SNU.

Seokkyung stormed out of Suryeon's office. Suryeon sighed in frustration, it seems no matter what she said, Seokkyung was just fixated on beating Rona and gaining whatever approval she thinks she lacks. Guess it would be the best time to tell her that Hye In was actually returning from the States in another 2 weeks time. Suryeon's mind was in a jumble, as much as she was worried about Seokkyung, she also had to focus on Joo Dante and Cheo Seojin. She knew she was not going to be able to block Seokkyung from her father, but perhaps she needed an inside man at Joo Dante's camp just to keep tabs on things.
