The Road We Walk On

176 | Date

Shimwoo Tower, Seoul

Today Rona was excited, Seokhoon was going to be taking her out on a lovely date. Even though they spend almost every day together, most of the days they spend it either practising or spending time with their families. Today Rona and Seokhoon were going on a special date course, Seokhoon planned the whole thing and he did not let Rona know anything.

All that he told her was that they would be out from lunch till late night. Rona spent most of the morning trying to select an outfit. She finally decided on a cream beige dress that had a black top over it, paired with white sneakers. Seokhoon didn't tell her where they were going to go but his only hint was that they would be going to walk around a bit. So she decided to dress comfortably but also prettily. At 11:30AM, she exited her front door to see Seokhoon waiting for her.

Seokhoon smiled, his girlfriend was so pretty. Rona smiled and gave Seokhoon a kiss on the cheek. Ready?

Yes but where are we going?

Haha, you will see when we get there. Rona gives Seokhoon a quick once over and turns out Seokhoon's top colour sort of matched her dress. He was wearing a casual collared beige shirt and black pants and sneakers. Rona and Seokhoon held hands as they exited Shimwoo Tower. Rona kept bugging Seokhoon about their itinerary but Seokhoon would not budge. With that, Rona eventually gave up asking and decided to let herself be surprised.

They took the train and headed towards Yeoeuido-dong, Seokhoon led Rona to the Federation of Korean Industries (FKI) building and headed up to the 50th floor. When the elevator opened, Rona saw in front of her a gorgeous cafe. This was The Skyfarm. There was glass everywhere, and the cafe looked bright and airy. Being on the 50th and 51st floor, gave guests a wonderful view of the Han River. Seokhoon had already reserved a table for the couple, so they were immediately shown to their table.

All Day Fresh Kitchen focuses on serving breakfast and brunch items from all around the world - specifically focusing on the European region. After the couple had looked at the menu they ordered two dishes to share and some drinks to go along with their meal. This place is really pretty.

Yeah it is, looking at all the glass around the cafe, makes everything look bright and big.

I do love the colour white.

So in the future our home should be mainly white?

Future home?

Why are you thinking of living with someone else? Seokhoon stared straight into Rona's eyes. Rona laughed at seeing Seokhoon's disapproval. Haha, of course not.

So we are figuratively speaking right now, so how do you want our home to look like?

Hmmm, good question. You are right that I would love white as the base of our house. We definitely need some form of library/music room so that either one of us can practice, and I would love a walk in closet for both our clothes.

Haha, well you do have a lot of clothes.

So do you too! Besides half of the clothes I have were mainly gifts from Omma and your Omma. I couldn't refuse them. Seokhoon kissed the palm of her hand. I know I am joking. Rona pouted and their food had arrived, as they ate Rona told Seokhoon what else she envisioned for their future home.

I don't think we need a big house, if it is just us two for a while. I think having a cozy house is better.

You mean something like a loft style house?

Yeah I think that would be great, less places for us to clean as well. I mean unless you want children.

Haha don't you?

Of course but like now?

Haha, I know. I like the idea of spending more time with you first before we add children into the mix. Plus it would be wise for us to have some stability - financially before we decide to have children right?

Seokhoon-ah, do you think we will settle down in Seoul or elsewhere?

Hmmm... Well for the sake of our careers, we can't stay in Seoul. Ultimately when it comes to classical music, Europe is always the best scene for us. But that doesn't mean we can't travel back and forth.

If I could, I would love to stay on in Seoul.

Well maybe, we can set some sort of limit, perhaps we stay abroad for about 4-5 years. Establish our career, our reputation and then we will have the liberty to move back.

I like that idea, I don't mind living in Europe as long as I am with you but I would like to be close to family in time.

Seokhoon and Rona continued to discuss a bit more about their future and what they hope to achieve. Rona dreams of eventually gaining the prima donna status, even though she knows it is not easy but it was something she would be willing to work towards. Seokhoon also wanted to be a renowned classical pianist, there were already very few Asian pianists and Seokhoon wanted to continue that legacy.

They had soon finished their meal and left the cafe. They were now moving to the 2nd item on the itinerary today. Rona realised they had arrived at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA). Seokhoon knew how much Rona loved art and so he wanted to bring her to a museum that she had always wanted to visit but never had the chance to.

They eventually hung around the Museum for a good 2 and a half hours. Rona was really satisfied and happy after the museum visit. Seokhoon was happy that she was happy. Now where to?

Hmmm. Now it is time to have a bit of fun.

Fun?
