What if Rona had taken up Seokhoo's offer to go to Jullliard at the start of season 3. What awaits Rona and Seokhoon in USA, and how would the story change for Penthouse?

When Rona and Seokhoon came out for dinner, luckily no one really made any comments about why Seokhoon's hair was wet. They had a really nice home cooked dinner, and they shared with their parents what they did today. Seokkyung spent most of the time sharing about her day and talking about the various customers she had to deal with.
Have you thought about what you wish to pursue, Seokkyung?
Hmm, not really. All I do know is that I don't wish to continue with music or the arts so I think I need to find something else. I have really come to enjoy cooking and drawing, so maybe I will pursue something similar to either of those fields.
That sounds like a good idea.
Maybe you can become a food stylist/designer? Seokkyung had an epiphany when she heard Rona's suggestion. The job combined two things that she had begun to love: cooking and designing.
*A food designer is tied both to industrial production and classic design (packaging, shape, colour of the food).
I love that idea Rona! Why didn't I ever think of it? But... How do I become one?
Don't worry Seokkyung we can ask around and find out what is the best path.
I would think you would need to learn how to cook so it would be good to go for more formal training as we learn more on how to enter such an industry.
Thank you Omma, Yoonhee ajhumma and Rona. I will work towards this dream. Rona smiled in happiness, she was really happy she could help Seokkyung find her path. She really hoped that Seokkyung would be able to find a path that would really make her happy and she would enjoy it. After dessert, Suryeon called Rona over to their place for awhile, she wanted to give Rona a couple of clothes that she had received as gifts. She knows that as Rona performs more and more and becomes famous, she would need better quality clothing. Rona and Seokkyung went over to Suryeon's place while Seokhoon chose to stay behind and help Yoonhee clean up the dishes.
Thank you Seokhoon.
Not at all ahjumma, it is my pleasure.
Yah, I can't wait to have such a handsome son-in-law. Seokhoon paused when he heard that statement. He turned and looked at Yoonhee. Why don't you want to marry Rona?
No! Of course I do. I just didn't think you would accept me so quickly.
Yah Shim Seokhoon, in the year you two have been away you have proven yourself enough times how much you love my daughter. Alex tells me a few things and I am just thankful that Rona has found someone who not only loves her but is loyal to her.
Don't worry ahjumma, I will never abandon Rona. If it weren't for her, I would not exist - at least not this Seokhoon right now. Yoonhee patted Seokhoon's shoulder, she knew the boy had gone through much pain which warped his personality but deep down Seokhoon was not 'evil', he was just a lost child. Now, because of his love for Rona, he has changed. No one can ask for a better man to marry their daughter.
Ahjumma I did ask Rona today, whether she is open to the idea of marriage at a young age.
You mean you want to marry her now?
No not right now, but I really don't think I can wait until graduation...
HAHAH! oh my goodness, Shim Seokhoon you are totally whipped.
Well I don't mind being whipped to Rona. But what is your opinion, would you like us to wait?
Hmmmm.... Ideally of course because you know you two don't really have a career yet, but seeing your achievements so far, I highly doubt the two of you won't be able to have a career after graduation. Why do you want to marry so early?
I don't know. I don't have a specific reason. I love Rona and I just want to spend time with her every single day. I know that I am not going to be looking around for someone else, she is my forever and only one. So since that is the case for us both, why not just seal it with marriage. Plus, this will chase off potential suitors for sure.
hahah! Seokhoon, Seokhoon, such an alpha male. Well, I am with Rona in whatever decision that she makes, if you ask her soon, and she says yes. I as a mother won't stand in the way. I can see how much she loves you as well, so if there is one relationship I am not worried about - is you two. So you have my blessings whenever.
Should I???.....
Should you what?
Ask permission from Yoonchul ahjussi? Yoonhee was surprised, she only recently found out that Rona knew her birth secret, but it is expected that she confided in Seokhoon.
Well, maybe wait for a while. Things are still tenuous, Eunbyeol and Rona have not met yet and well I have not told Yoonchul that Rona knows everything. Let's see how things go okay? If things end up being good, then I think it's right to ask permission from her father as well.
Ahjumma, just so you know, Rona and I are rooting for you and Yoonchul ahjusshi. Yoonhee was surprised by the support, she had known that Rona wanted her to be happy. It is just whether she would be happy if she got back with Yoonchul, this was something she needed to think about and wait and see. Thank you Seokhoon, in time we will see.
They were soon done with the dishes, Seokhoon said goodbye to Yoonhee and headed back home. When he exited the door, he saw Rona exiting his house carrying several bags. Wow, Omma must have given you a lot.
Yes, the more I rejected the more she gave.
Hahah, well I am sure the quality of the clothes is amazing. Do you need help?
No I got it, just help me open the door? Seokhoon already knew Rona's house pin number so he keyed in the number and opened the door for Rona. Rona tiptoed and placed a hard kiss on Seokhoon. Thank you, I will see you tomorrow. Night! Rona entered her house and Seokhoon stood in front of the door giggling like an idiot almost. He grinned and headed back home, when he went to sleep, there was a smile on his face.
