The Road We Walk On

85 | Meet the Parents

Juilliard School, New York

The gang was waiting outside the Hall for Seokhoon, George and Seungho to appear. There was a photo session for the top 5 so they were delayed slightly. Out of the corner of her eye, So Hyun noticed Gabbie with her parents approaching, right then she was going to block Rona from her when a pair of caucasian parents approached their group.

You all must be George's friends?

The group looked at each other and Rona realised they must be Geroge's parents.

Oh Hello Mdm! It is nice to meet you. I am Rona.

Yes dear, George has shown us pictures of you a lot. So I recognise most of you.

Hello all, I am George's father.

Good evening sir, we want to congratulate you on George's success tonight.

Oh thank you! You must be Ryo. Nice to meet you young lad.

You must be very proud of George, we were all rather surprised at his music piece choice.

Haha as was I, I had thought my son would have gone for something more orthodox but looking at the results, I guess that was a really good twist.

Mdm, your chicken pie was really delicious! I ate almost half of it when George brought it over for the party.

Oh my! You must be Yoo Jung. George mentioned you and that you really liked my pie! Oh my goodness, thank you!!

Yes Mdm! We really loved your food.

Then all of you have to come one day over to our place. I will bake many treats for all of you, I will make sure to bake some healthy ones for So Hyun here also.

Oh, thank you Mdm, there is really no need to go out of your way.

It is okay So Hyun, I can't be feeding you growing children unhealthy treats, there needs to be a good balance.

Thank you, we would love to go and visit you two.

Thank you Rona. Congrats also by the way of Seokhoon winning. George tells me you two are the A star couple. You have a very talented man on your hands Rona, make sure to hold on tight to him.

Haha, thank you sir. Yes I know I am a very lucky woman.

Rona caught Seokhoon coming towards them.

Seokhoon! These are George's parents.

Oh hello sir, mdm. It is a pleasure to finally meet you. George has spoken many great things about you.

Shim Seokhoon, it is a pleasure to meet you. Well done today!

Thank you sir, those words mean a lot coming from you. George will be coming over shortly.

George and Seungho eventually caught up to the group, they congratulated them and spent most of the time taking pictures. Seungho slowly made his way over to So Hyun. So Hyun laughed silently in her head, Seungho was truly rather cautious around her. Congrats Seungho.

Ah yes, thanks... urm... sooo that promise?

Hmmm, well we should keep it right? But maybe after next week? I have work for most days so I will let you know when I am free.

RIGHT! Great, I will wait for you. Seungho shouted so loudly that everyone around him was staring at him. Seungho apologised for the loud voice and continued to grin happily. The gang continued to talk and banter until it was soon near dinner time. Since the voice majors still had competition tomorrow, they headed home,

Marcus came to fetch Rona and Seokhoon back home, especially since Seokhoon had a long day. As Seokhoon was waiting for Rona to enter the car, he caught Gabbie at the corner of his eye. He ignored her and got into the car and drove off.

After the competition, the rankings of the students were posted - even though as stated it was not gonna be reflected as a grade. By posting the rankings, Professors hope to let students have an awareness of where they stood and hopefully this would spur students to try hard and work harder. Gabbie went to check her ranking, she knew she did not do well but she never expected to be in the bottom 3.

Her father had given her a scolding for embarrassing him and her mother. Gabbie saw the gang all gathered together, it irked her that all three of them not only did well but placed in the top 5. She saw them all laughing happily without a care in the world and this completely pissed Gabbie off. Her plan had failed in that she did not place top 5, now she needed to make sure that Rona couldn't. If she couldn't have this glory, then Rona should not as well.

You were wonderful today Seokhoon.

Did you fall in love with your boyfriend again?

Hmph, arrogant prick. So what if I did!

Hahah, well you can't ever resist the charm of this handsome boyfriend of yours.

Ha! Since you won your ego must have received a great boost.

Why shouldn't it, not only did I win but I also have the most beautiful girl in Juilliard as my girlfriend. If I don't flaunt now when will I ever flaunt?

Hmph, your words have gotten better in recent years. Where did the old Seokhoon go too?

Hmmm, oh he is somewhere for sure - but he will only appear if someone hurts you.

Rona smiled at the manly response from Seokhoon. They finished their dinner and Rona decided to turn in early. She wanted to get up early to practice a little bit more before getting ready for the competition. She walked into Seokhoon's bedroom and made herself comfortable in bed. Since that night, Rona had actually slept every single night in Seokhoon's room. Rona enjoyed sleeping beside Seokhoon, his presence was a comfort to her and now that she experienced it once, she wanted to make this permanent.

Seokhoon didn't mind, if anything he really liked how Rona had somewhat invaded his space, her room was slowly turning more into just a closet and her own private bathroom. Other than that, Rona would be in his room. Rona smiled and kissed him goodnight, and soon she was asleep. Seokhoon slowly got into bed, and switched off the lights. When he laid on the bed, Rona felt his warmth and moved to cuddle him. Seokhoon smiled and hugged Rona before joining her in sleep.
