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?

Everyone turned towards the direction of Yoo Jung's shout. Jong Hyeop didn't seem fazed by it and just said that he is here because Seokhoon and Rona invited him. Yoo Jung looked over and Seokhoon explained that Jong Hyeop was like that, coming from overseas and he and Jong Hyeop had gotten close over the past couple of weeks, so he wanted to invite him over and meet their gang.
Yoo Jung couldn't really say anything else, because Jong Hyeop just looked so damn innocent and handsome. She sighed and welcomed him. Did Yoo Jung like him, yes. But what was causing her to resist him, just her worries. This was really the first time Yoo Jung found herself really liking someone. After that 'bump', Yoo Jung actually went to find out who Jong Hyeop was. He was a 3rd Cellist, and one of the best of the cohort. He worked part time at the Music Library which was one of the reasons why Yoo Jung often found a good reason to go there and study.
At first, she thought she was just a fan, but somehow this being a 'fan' transformed into a full blown 'like' of Jong Hyeop. When she found out that they were going to have a collaboration with the 3rd year students this year, she was honestly a bit afraid that she would meet him and she did. She was rather flustered when he actually called her out and chose to sit beside her during the briefing.
She really was not sure how to act around him, on the one hand she really hoped that she would one day be able to confess her feelings, and on the other she was worried about being rejected. She didn't really know how much she could come to like someone so much. During her observations of Jong Hyeop, she realised he was someone incredibly kindhearted. He was a good friend to his classmates but also a good seniors to his fellow junior cellist. Everything about him was just perfect in her eyes, but would that be the same for him to her?
After that slightly awkward moment, everyone went back to setting the table and getting ready for lunch. Jong Hyeop was more than happy to join in and made sure he was sitting right next to Yoo Jung. Yoo Jung at first was rather shy but the moment she smelt the delicious food, she completely forgot about who was sitting beside her. She just focuses on eating the food and complimenting Rona, Steph and George for the delicious lunch. She had not realised that throughout the dinner, Jong Hyeop more or less was staring at her at every instance.
Lunch was over and they were all hanging out around the living room.
I really like the new decor, it is definitely very mature and more adult-like.
Yeah we were not expecting it, Peter just sort of did it for us.
So you two are through to the finals right of The American Protégé Music Competition right? When are the finals?
The voice category will be first, it will be in 2 weeks time, followed by the piano the week after.
Are you two prepared?
I think for the most part, Ryo. Yes. To be honest, compared to the Queen Elisabeth one, this competition is a lot less stressful for both of us.
Well it helps that it is taking place in New York but it would be exciting because you get to perform at Carnegie Hall, which is like a legendary stage.
That is true Steph, it is legendary. It would be a great honor for Rona and I to be able to perform there.
What about the wedding? Has any more details been finalised?
You two are getting married?
Haha, yeah Jong Hyeop, can't you see the engagement ring on Rona's finger?
Oh, right, I didn't register that, thanks Seungho.
Yeah well, we have decided on the flowers and the colour theme for the wedding, both the chapel and the hotel dinner. Rona is still deciding on the bridesmaid's dresses.
Right, I figured it all out if you want to wear different styles of dresses, so for me I am just trying to finalise on the colour. I am unsure if I should go for blue or purple or something else, but I will let you know soon. All of you need to get your dress fitted.
Where will that take place?
Peter has already found a wedding team that can help us, and they are willing to coordinate from Seoul about everything. So I will finalise the dates and inform everyone.
Speaking of bridesmaids, for the best mens also you all need to get your measurements for your suits. There is also the problem that we are missing one more best man.
Do you need one more?
Yeah we do George, because we have a total of 5 bridesmaids and only 4 best men.
Oh, how about asking Jong Hyeop if he is willing?
Seokhoon looked at Jong Hyeop, he had been thinking about asking him, but he was still unsure seeing how Yoo Jung was still so nervous around him. Jong Hyeop smiled at the suggestion. I know we are not yet that close, but I am more than willing to help out on yours and Rona's special day.
If you are willing to help, that would be wonderful. You can pair with Yoo Jung.
I love that.
Wait! Why do you want to pair with me? Suddenly the air turned chilly, Yoo Jung couldn't take it anymore. If Jang Hyeop was only playing with her, she really did not need this in her life right now. Jong Hyeop looked up at her (she was standing up) with those big innocent eyes. Why? Because I like you.
Yoo Jung stared at him, it seemed like his words did not quite register in her brain. Jang Hyeop repeated himself again, this time he was standing up, holding Yoo Jung's shoulders in his hands. I like you, Yoo Jung. Yoo Jung had a delayed reaction and she suddenly screamed in joy. You do? He laughed. Yeah, actually when I bumped into you that day. I was mesmerised by your beauty and when I saw you in the library, well I became curious. I have been observing you from afar. When I found out we were going to have a collaboration for the 2nd year, I was really excited. I thought this was my chance.
So you are saying?
I am saying, do you want to date me? Yoo Jung jumped for joy and said yes. She looked around in happiness and found all of her friends standing at the dining table instead, just observing silently. She blushed and went to give Jang Hyeop a big hug. Seokhoon, I confessed!
Seokhoon laughed as he rolled his eyes. This hyung, was he really innocent or just pretending to be one. Rona laughed at the reaction, it seemed as though Seokhoon was the older one. She whispered. Well I am glad that is finally out of the way.
I can't believe Yoo Jung was so dense that she did not realise he liked her.
That is true, everyone knew, how could she not?
Haha, don't tease her too much, she is innocent, but looks like he is too huh.
Yeah, well they make a good looking couple. With that the group laughed and joked about it, while still standing in the living room, was the newly made couple just hugging each other.
