The Road We Walk On

38 | New Chapter

432 Park Avenue, New York

Rona was like a busy bee zooming across the condo. She was so nervous, today was the first day of school and this really signaled the start of a new chapter for both her and Seokhoon. She was stressing about what to wear, after trying on probably over 5 different outfits, she had finally settled on a dress piece. It matched the Autumn season and was formal yet casual enough for any event that may occur on the first day.

Seokhoon out of the corner of his eye in his room could see Rona all nervous. He giggled at the cute sight, he knew Rona was nervous, as was him. But despite the nervousness, both of them were probably more excited than nervous. Afterall, being able to study at Juilliard was almost the same as being able to study with the world's best. Not only were their professors and instructors world class, their classmates also were the best from all around the world. It was a once in a lifetime's chance to study and learn from each other. Seokhoon decided to go for something casual and simple. A black turtleneck with black jeans, paired with a brown-ish jacket.

When they both were ready, food was already prepared for them. Even though Rona insisted that Peter need not hire someone to cook for them. Peter insisted, afterall on busy days such as this - it would be challenging for Rona to cook for both her and Seokhoon while getting ready to go to work.It was easier to have someone help cook for them, especially as the semester carries on and the two of them get busier. Having that extra help in the kitchen will benefit them in the future.

Today's first day was really an introduction day. Overall Seokhoon and Rona's weekly schedule on paper did not seem too intense. They had a total of 5 modules to attend this semester, and two of those modules were collaborative. Their timetables were fairly simple, they both started each of their days around the same time and also ended around the same. They soon finished their breakfast, and bid Peter goodbye before heading out the door.

As they were in the elevator on their way down, Seokhoon held and squeezed Rona's hand. Rona looked up, Seokhoon was smiling. Rona-ah, you will be great. Just keep doing what you did in Chungah and I am sure you will shine. Just don't let your ideas wander okay.

Haha, well the same can be said for you. You never realise just how popular you were in Chungah right? I am sure many girls, not just from the Piano major will flock to see you. Hmph, you better be loyal to me.

The only reason why this Seokhoon right now in front of you exists is because of you Rona. There is no one else who can replace your place in my life.

Rona was suddenly taken back by just the rawness of Seokhoon's voice. She felt herself tearing slightly, she tiptoed and placed a kiss on his lips. This was really their first kiss. Seokhoon's arm went around her waist to bring her closer. Since Rona had initiated, he was not going to stop the momentum. His mouth moved and Rona followed his lips, the kiss was slowly getting intense with each second. However, the heavy atmosphere of the elevator was interrupted by the sound of the elevator arriving at the ground floor.

Seokhoon pulled away, he saw that Rona's eyes were slightly glazed over, her cheeks were a faint pink underneath her makeup. I wish we could continue but we need to go.

Rona suddenly realised where they were, and in embarrassment rushed out of the elevator. Seokhoon smirked, he was happy she had kind of forgotten herself. He ran out to catch up with her, holding her hand as they walked to school.

30 minutes later, they arrived on campus and made their way to the Faculty of Music. Majority of their lessons would be taking place in this building, when they had arrived they saw that their friends were waiting for them in the lobby.

Hey Rona! We were waiting for you. Let's head to class together.

Hi Steph, Ryo and Yoo Jung. I am nervous are you?

Oh yeah Rona! Thank goodness I am not alone, I am also nervous. I have zero clue what to expect.

Haha, we will be fine, Yoo Jung, at least we four can stick together, right Ryo?

Yeah, of course. If you don't mind a guy tagging along.

Ryo made eye contact with Seokhoon and Seokhoon nodded in agreement. At this point in time, he trusted Ryo compared to everyone else in the Voice major.

Great, so let's head up. Come on Rona. Stephaine took the lead and headed towards their classroom with Ryo and Yoo Jung following along. Seokhoon was about to follow Rona to her classroom first when Seungho stopped him.

Yo! Seokhoon, I know you care for Rona but come one. She is with her classmates, come on let's head to class.

Yeah Seokhoon, let's. Gabbie also agreed, she had a slightly scrowled on her face. She did not understand why Seokhoon needed to escort Rona everywhere. It was not as though she was some precious fragile doll. Rona also didn't really need an escort, she pulled Seokhoon's arm so his face was facing hers. She gave him a quick peck on the cheek.

Seokhoon, this really isn't necessary. Steph is here, I will be okay. You head to class, I will see you at the end of the day alright. With that Rona ran towards Steph, waving goodbye to the others.

See, she understands. Come on Seokhoon. Seungho grabbed Seokhoon's arm and literally had to drag him to class.

Note: From here on out, there will be more chapters of Seokrona life in New York and their friends. Of course I have not forgotten what happen in Seoul and you will hear of them every now and then. So you will be getting a few New York, then a bit of Seoul but do expect more chapters dedicated to New York ^^ Let me know your thoughts! I would love o hear from you and your thoughts as the story progress
