A month had passed since Seokhoon and Rona arrived back in Seoul. The couple spent most of their time, still keeping up with their practice habits that they had retained in Juillard. Apart from practicing, they also volunteered at Shimwoo Art Centre teaching young children, hoping to impart the love of music and the arts to them. This was a good way of using their talents to benefit society, it also gave Rona time to hang out with Jenny.

After the dinner with Yoonchul and Eunbyeol, Yoonhee finally decided to tell him everything. Yoonchul was honestly shocked, he never expected the two girls to have figured it out before he had the time to tell them. He was honestly unsure of what to do, one day Yoonhee gave Rona a call, and told her to come to a specific cafe.

When Rona and Seokhoon arrived, Yoonchul was sitting down waiting for them. Nowadays wherever Rona went Seokhoon would be there. Unless Rona specifically wanted some alone or girl time, Seokhoon was almost like her bodyguard. Yoonhee had told her daughter that Yoonchul wanted to meet her. Since Seokhoon was not really a stranger, Rona asked him along for moral support.

Yoonchul stood up and greeted the two of them. He had chosen a table that was right at the back of the cafe, in the corner. This would give them some privacy. Thank you for coming, Rona, hello Seokhoon.

Hi Ahjussi, no problem. Omma told me what had happened already. I assume you know?

Yes, I have to admit I was surprised to find that not only Eunbyeol knew but you too as well. Honestly, I don't know what to say.

Ahjussi, I don't think there is anything you can't say.

I know Rona, I betrayed your mother and you, when I helped Seojin cover up Eunbyeol's crimes for that I am always sorry towards you.

Yes I have to admit, I was angry at you for a long time for that, but when I saw your attitude change at the initial trial, I saw you in a different light. I could see that when you admitted your crimes you were essentially helping my mom do what she wanted - put the bad people away in jail. Logan ahjussi even told me once that even though he was unsure about bringing you into Omma's plan was a good idea. He did say he believed you were a good man. I trust Logan ahjussi, he gave you JohnBio back, you helped Omma and Suryeon ahjumma defeat Seojin and Dante. In the whole scheme of everything, I feel you have paid back what you owe to Omma and me.

Yoonchul was completely taken aback, he had not predicted that Rona would be so mature and wise in her thoughts. He thought she would have thrown a tantrum or demanded that he do something in order to earn her forgiveness. Does this mean you forgive me?

In the end, it was Omma who had the right to say we have forgiven you and she has. So yes, I forgive you too.

Thank you Rona.

I don't know if I feel comfortable calling you Appa yet, but I think we can take it one step at a time. Also, about Omma?

What about her?

You like her right?

Eh... Yes of course Yoonhee was and is my first love.

Then are you going to do something about it? Yoonchul was surprised by Rona's question, he knew that Yoonhee and him had chosen to take it slow but to be asked by Rona what his intentions were. I don't know yet. To be honest, Yoonhee and I are currently focusing on our career and our children first. Would I love for Yoonhee and I to work out, yes. But is this the best timing? I am not sure.

Well, if you are worried about me, don't be. Omma's happiness is my happiness as well. If she is happy with you, and you love and are loyal to her, I won't stand in both your ways. I have my happiness already. With that Rona looked towards Seokhoon, who was sitting right beside her. He didn't cut in or say anything but he watched Rona carefully. He wanted to make sure emotionally she was okay, he held her hand tightly and smiled.

Yoonchul was relieved when he saw this, he had heard much about Rona and Seokhoon's relationship. Yoonhee was really happy with their relationship, Seokhoon not only loved Rona but was loyal to her as well. Thank you Rona. I am happy you have found your everlasting happiness, I will think about it.

With that Rona went up to the cafe counter to buy some desserts for tomorrow. Seokhoon then turned to Yoonchul. Ahjussi, I have something I wish to talk to you about, please don't tell Rona.

Note: So to start of 2022 right, why not release another chapter ^^ I hope you all enjoy it. I really wonder what is Seokhoon up too?
