We Will Be Alright - A Seokrona AU

“We are all ears. Please, do tell us.” Seokhoon said, gulping. Terrible thoughts passes their minds, scared of anything happening to the business or someone in the family.

“We are having a celebration for Yoonhee's birthday soon but unfortunately, the singer for the night suddenly went out of reach. I assume she 'dined and dashed' with the sum of money we gave her.” Suryeon told the both, looking at their reaction. “That's really unfortunate. So how can Seokhoon and I help, ahjumma? ”

Rona asked the older lady, really willing to do anything as it is for her mother's night. Logan and Suryeon looked at each other, anxious. “We thought you and Seokhoon could play and sing for her that night. I know it is so sudden and we only have two days before the event but we really have no other choice.” Seokhoon looks at Rona, the girl nods in agreement.

“Of course we can do it, eomma, appa. It would an honor for me to play for Rona again. I do hope Rona have no problem with, though.” Rona smiles, “Of course I do not have problems with it. It's my mom's birthday and why wouldn't I collab with Seokhoon once again? He's a wonderful pianist!” Seokhoon blushes, thanking the latter for complimenting him.

He feels different when Rona compliments him, his heart just goes fast and he can't help smiling.

“Actually, it feels different when Rona performs with Oppa. So I actually like them performing together, they have connection with each other so Rona sounded prettier when she sings when Oppa played for her. I like it, Rona and Oppa, don't quit on each other, I want to hear you guys once more.” Hyein speaks, making the small gather laugh and smile. The others didn't know that Seokhoon's heart fluttered when the family told the both that they really like him and Rona together.

“You guys should pick the songs together, we don't really mind since you guys are better at these things than the both of us.” Logan told them, the both nods in agreement. “Then I will be bringing my weapon for the both of you, I shall make the both of you wear my masterpiece. You can't really change my mind right now because I know you guys will look fantastic.” Seokkyung stated and the both smiled as they really have no choice, knowing Seokkyung is a little hard-headed.

“Arrasso Seokkyung-ah, we will be sure to wear it.” Seokhoon comforts the girl, making the girl squeal in excitement. He then looks at Rona who was smiling while looking at Seokkyung with love in his eyes. His heart couldn't pump any faster, he's just so in love with the girl who is seating in front of him. His eyes then meets the girl's eyes, the girl smiles at him cutely. Maybe Rona didn't know but Seokhoon's heart did a somersault.

“We'll discuss about the arias in our private chat later, shall we?” Rona whispers, not to ruin the atmosphere with Seokkyung talking about her dress code for the birthday party. Seokhoon smiles and nods in agreement, excited to be chatting with her in private.

Meanwhile, Logan and Suryeon are sharing glares between Rona and their son. They knew indeed, their son is just head over heels for Rona. Seokhoon isn't the type to be able to cover his expression when he likes or dislikes something. Therefore, it is just so obvious that their son is so in love.

“Should we?” Suryeon asks her husband. “I don't think there's harm in it if we try.” Logan smiles. “I fully agree with anything you guys do.” Seola slips in, giving her parents a little naughty smirk. The three giggles as lots of things and plan runs in their head to make Seokhoon and Rona fall in love with each other.

This is where the plan of Mission Impossible: Making Bae Rona fall in love with Joo Seokhoon starts.

“Thank you so much for dinner, I'll make sure the arias and props will be there for the party. You don't really need to worry about anything, Seokhoon and I will always double-check.” Rona said, affirming the older lady. Suryeon embraces Rona into a hug, “Thank you for coming, Rona-ah. And thank you too for agreeing to our emergency plan. We really hoped you would say yes to it.”

“Thank you, Rona-ah. We really appreciate your help, please take good care of Seokhoon. He can be cheeky sometimes so please scold him as you should be.” Logan said, tapping on Seokhoon's right shoulder. Rona smiles to the older man, nodding too as she will, of course take care of Seokhoon as they will be working together for her mother's party. “Ah, about the party... your mother is still clueless about it so I hope you can keep it as a secret around her.” Suryeon told the girl. Rona nods as she understands the intention.

“Eomma, appa... Rona needs to get going. Her manager wants to meet up, as you know the latter is very very busy.” Seokhoon makes fun of the girl. Rona slaps his forearm, “Yes, I should be. My manager eonnie can be so scary at times so I can't make her wait.” Rona retreats from the crowd. “No worries Rona, we do understand. And adeul, make sure to send her up to her room. We can't afford a worldwide singer go missing.” Logan straights out his words. “I should, I'll make sure she reaches the hotel safely.” Seokhoon replies. Rona bids farewell and follows Seokhoon to the lift.

“Hey, about the arias... I think we should meet up. I'll text you my studio, you think you can make it tomorrow?” Seokhoon asks the lady. Rona smiles, “Of course I can. When should we meet up? I'm free the whole day, I believe. I'll text you if there's any changes in my schedule.” The both nods and smile. Silence then creeps them down. The lift opens, revealing the carpark.

The two walks slowly, Seokhoon's mind perks up. “Can I ask you a question?” Rona looks at the eyes that is looking at her. “What kind of question?” Seokhoon hesitates,“Perhaps, do you have a boyfriend?” The little height in front of him freezes, “I mean, you're pretty and I think it's kinda weird if you haven't dated someone.” Rona blushes at his comment. Little did she know, she started to have butterflies in her stomach.

“Do you really want to know, Joo Seokhoon?”
