We Will Be Alright - A Seokrona AU

- 3 -

Weeks passes by and Rona finishes her schedule and finally has time for herself. The latter massages her body, feeling very sore after 5 concerts while watching TV. She then gets a knock on her hotel door. "Rona-ssi, I'll be returning to Italy today, do you need anything before I leave?" Her manager asks. "I think there is nothing else needed other than telling Clark I'll be staying here for a few weeks." Rona smiles. Her manager nods and bids farewell.

She then gets a call from an unknown number. "Hello, this is Bae Rona. How can I help you?" "Hey, it's Seokhoon. I'm downstairs, my mom asked me to pick you up." Rona's suspicion peaks up. "Whatever for?" "Ah, Mom's having a private dinner together with you. Please, can you come with me before my mom kills me for not picking you up?" "Alright, fine. I'll be down in five minutes, don't go anywhere." Rona smiles. "Will do. See you soon, Rona-ssi." The man says on the line. Rona then presses the end button, she turns off the TV and grabs her bag and cardigan. The lady then goes out from her hotel room and heads down.

On the other hand, Seokhoon's heart pounds so fast to the rate that the man's palm sweats.

Why am I so nervous, gosh. It's just Rona.

The man smiles at the name, Rona. Why and how did I fall for this girl in the first place, he thought. He smiles so much that his jaw begins to hurt, he gets a knock on the window, it was the girl he smiled at.

Flabbergasted, he opens the doors for her to get in. Her perfume smells throughout the entire car, the smell pins on him. "What were you smiling about. You looked like an idiot, smiling alone. People might think you're not in the right state of mind." Rona asks him while adjusting her seatbelt. "Uhm, uh... was I smiling though? I can't recall."

He does realize he made himself an idiot there but there wasn't any other reason for him to give the girl. Of course, he didn't want the girl to know. "Whatever you say, let's depart. We surely don't want the elder people waiting." Rona orders. Seokhoon nods and begins to depart from the hotel lobby.

"How are you? I'm sure you're tired after all the recitals." Seokhoon breaks the silence while driving the car in a steady pace. Rona had to admit that he looked quite sexy there when he looks over the side mirrors. "I'm okay, just a little tired. I didn't have much sleep because I was busy rehearsing for the recitals." Rona told the man. Seokhoon nods as he understands the lady's condition as he has been in her place. Rona gasps, "Ah, come to think of it, I have never asked this. I stayed in South Korea for most of my childhood, played with your sisters and have the same childhood circle as you... why haven't I seen you at all?"

The guy smirks, "I was mostly overseas for most of my childhood, I was sent by my birth father, you must remember Joo Dantae? The guy who Seokkyung and Seolah fear the most. He abused us a lot as kids, he sent me abroad because he wanted me to be a pianist. He kept pushing my twin sisters too, to be opera singers." Seokhoon then looks at Rona, who looked very sympathetic.

"Yeah, I do remember his name. I remember how scared your sisters were too, when his name was spoken of." Rona looks down, instant regret washes her over for asking the question. "Don't be guilty about the question. I am okay about it, but surely don't talk about him in front of the twins though. If you were wondering, my birth father died of a car accident. It was planned, Mom and my stepfather, Logan did it. Apparently it was for Seolah, they wanted him to pay for Seolah's switch during birth. He switched Seolah with Hyein and Seolah grew up with Logan by her side." Seokhoon said.

"My family is a little complicated, I hope you do understand though." Rona nods at him. "Of course I do, I can't imagine how hard was it for you, Seokkyung, Seolah and Hyein." Seokhoon smiles, "All of it has been in the past. Mom and Dad are happy now and I am able to protect my sisters. There is nothing more I would want to ask for." Rona looks at the guy.

Seokkyung, Seolah and Hyein are indeed lucky to get a brother like him.

"You two have arrived, welcome!" Suryeon welcomed the both. Rona hugs the older woman in front of her. "Thank you for inviting me, ahjumma." Suryeon smiles, "Of course! It's my honor to have you today. Now now, the both of you should go and catch up with others. It has been a while for the both of you, hasn't it?" The both nods. Seokhoon and Rona walks together, side to side towards the living room and sees their friends, all catching up.

"Oppa! Rona-ah! " Seolah excitedly calls them out. Rona rushes to the other girl and hugs. "Aish, I missed you so much!" Seolah said. "How's your concerts? I heard it has become a hit, the tickets finished just within 3 minutes!" Seokkyung asks. "Thank goodness, people enjoyed them so much." Rona smiles. "How is it going with the new immunosuppressants, Hyein-ah? Is the side effects bad?" Seokhoon asks her sisters as he was also busy to visit his sick sister. "It has been good. It has only been a week so the doctors wants to observe for the time being." Seokhoon nods and smiles, hoping her sister would get better.

"Kids! Let's eat!" Suryeon yells from the dining area after a few moments they get to catch up on some news. They then all rush while Seokhoon pushes Hyein's wheelchair to the dining area. After a few minutes, all of them were seated and settled in with the food prepared.

"Actually, we have something to tell you guys, Seokhoon and Rona. That is why we called the both of you here tonight." Logan breaks the silence before sharing looks with Suryeon.
