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

S3 Just For A While Right Here & Right Now (28)

'Seokhoon ah.... My mom should be okay, right?'

Rona asks in her shaky voice as she tries to ignore the irritating pricking feeling of her tears in the lens of her eyes.

Leaning down to hold both of her hands, Seokhoon plasters on a reassuring expression and attempts to comfort his girlfriend.

'Of course, My mom went to find her so we'll hear from her soon.

You trust my mom, don't you?'

Already unable to control and contain her true emotions. Rona starts to tear up and replies as she slightly chokes from the tears and saliva that stuck onto the back of her throat.

'I do, but I keep getting a bad feeling in my stomach.

I'm so nervous and worried that I might go crazy soon.

If something happens to my mom, I can't go on living....'

Completely letting her walls down and breaking down. Rona leans forward and buries herself onto her boyfriend's chest.

Shocked and pretty much freaked out at her remark, Seokhoon's lips tremble and an anxious expression swiftly takes over his face.

Looking down at Rona, Seokhoon gathers all the sanity left inside of him to comfort and reassure his girl. Reaching his hand up to stroke her silky and straight brunette hair, he replies with a broken and almost shaky voice.

'No, don't say that....'

Gulping down the anxiety that started to bubble from inside of him. Seokhoon ignores the tears that slowly gathered in his grey orbs.

Trying to remain calm, the male puts on a determined gaze and comforts the weeping female in his arms.

'Your mom will be back, She loves you too much to let anything happen.

I'm sure nothing bad will happen....nothing.'

And they stood there for a couple of seconds but after Rona starts to calm down. Seokhoon slowly let her go and held both of her hands in his.

'Should I stay with you...? That way you won't be alone and we can get updates from my mom together.'

Nodding her head with a blank expression, Rona gazed down at the floor and seemed to be completely out of it.

Sighing and gently stroking her cheeks, Seokhoon lifted her head and gazes down at her with pure concern and affectionate eyes.

'Everything will be okay... Come on, let's patiently wait inside.

I'm sure eomma will meet ajhumma very soon.'

Gently holding her hand, Seokhoon proceeds to pull Rona back in the apartment with him.

It was lie to say that he was completely fine, in fact he wasn't at all.

Seokhoon was frantic, worried and anxious.

'What if something bad truly happened to Yoonhee? What will happen to Rona?'

Holding onto Rona's hand, Seokhoon swiftly turns around and makes sure to lock and secure the apartment door.

He just had this iffy feeling that something was just not right tonight and as much as he wanted everything to be well.....

The male knew that he shouldn't be too careless due to the peculiar and tensed air that started to linger and fill the air.

Growing up in a dysfunctional and abusive household. Seokhoon had grew up to be a rather alert and wary child.

He was protective of the people he loves and not to mention.... His intuition was always almost on point.

After making sure the door was locked and secured. Seokhoon turns around and gently held and wrapped his girlfriend by her shoulders leading her towards the huge living room.

Sitting beside her, Seokhoon didn't even let her go. He could feel her body tremors. But as he observed her face, Seokhoon reached out and laid the female's head on his shoulder.

'If your too tired, have a nap.... I'll wake you once eomma calls and I get some news.'

It took a while to convince Rona since technically..... She is pretty stubborn but eventually, Rona falls asleep unknowingly on his shoulders.

Noticing her unconscious state, Seokhoon breaks into a slight smile.

'At least for a while.... Before the tornado of nightmares comes right at them... He could keep her company and comfort her....

Just for this moment right here and right now.'

Seokhoon was slightly relieved.... He knew and had the intuition that what was to come was something different and he was already getting ready for the worst.

If something bad had happened to Yoonhee. He knew that it would be the end of Rona's world.

But he still prayed and begged the heavens to spare Rona.

Joo Seokhoon wasn't a religious person. But she had made him into one, as she seeped into a deep slumber after her emotional breakdown.

The male pianist laid her body gently in between the soft pillows in the couch.

Walking towards the huge windows of the apartment, a single tear trickles down the stoic male's cheeks.

Clasping his hands together, Seokhoon gazes at the unconscious female and looks back at the dark and cloudy night sky.

Closing his eyes and squeezing his hands, the male utters in a hushed voice.

'If you want to punish someone.... Just punish someone else.... No, just punish me.

Not Rona, I just got her back.... We're just starting out.

You can't do this to her.... Her mom means everything to her.

I can't bear to see her cry again.'

As Joo Seokhoon silently begged the heavens. A violent buzz vibrates in his pockets.

Wiping the tears from his bloodshot eyes, the male nonchalantly answers the phone....

And after a few seconds of silence, it was as if his whole being had lost all of its energy.

The phone drops to the floor and more tears fill in his eyes.

Looking towards the sleeping figure on the couch, Seokhoon utters under his breathe.

'This can't be.....'

His gaze changes, as he wipes the tears off his face. The male gazes at his girlfriend with a much more determined look.

Picking up his phone, he endures the tears and clears his throat.

'Yes mom!!!

I understand, don't worry.... I'll explain and tell Rona once she wakes up.

I won't leave her and I'll protect her this time around so.......rest assured.'
