We Will Be Alright - A Seokrona AU

- 9 -

Despite being surprised about the mysterious guy's appearance, Rona wasn't sure about the secret that Yoonchul and Eunbyeol hiding away from her.

“Annyeong Rona-ah? Hasn't it been a while since we last met?” The man named Yoondo asked. Rona nodded and smiled, “It has been. Uhm, Eomma? Appa? Eunbyeol-ie? Anyone care to explain?” Rona asked her family, searching for answers.

“Uh... Rona-ah, let's sit for dinner first. We have things to talk to you and Yoondo here.” Yoonhee drags her daughters to their dining table and started serving out their meals.

After 30 minutes of serving the meals, the five of them finally sat down and started eating. Even though silence were taking over them, Rona is still curious about Yoondo's appearance.

Yoonchul, Yoonhee and Eunbyeol shared stares with each other, not sure how to start the conversation. Yoonchul then finally ends the silence, “Actually Rona-ah, we actually have important things to discuss with you.” Yoonchul gulps anxiously.

Rona straightens out her back and focuses on Yoonchul and Yoonhee, staring intensely at the both of them. Yoonchul looks at Yoonhee, her giving a nod before he continues.

“The reason why Yoondo is with us this evening is because, Yoondo will be your husband very soon.” Dropped cutlery were only heard after Yoonchul spoke.

“What did you say? I'm going to be wed with Yoondo sunbae after 3 years of high school with him? I barely know him Appa! ” Yoonhee and Yoonchul could only hang their heads low.

Yoondo, who was only spectating the dinner so far wanted to calm the angered Rona down. “Uh, Rona? I think you should calm down and hear your father out before-” Rona then cuts him out.

“You don't get to shush me sunbae. I don't agree to this wedding and I am not marrying you. Not even in the slightest idea I thought you more than a friend sunbae.” Rona looked at Yoondo, disappointed in him.

“How could you agree to this sunbae? How? I am very disappointed in everyone at this dining table, I will be resting in my bedroom so please, continue this dinner without me.” Rona grabs her napkin and puts it on the table before walking back to her bedroom in disbelief.

Yoonchul and Yoonhee could predict this would come from Rona but they couldn't believe Rona, who was never disobedient and respectful could walk away from the dining table during the meal.

“I am so sorry, Chairman Jung. I didn't think my Rona would walk away from the dining table, she has never done that.” Yoonhee apologized to now known as Chairman Jung Yoondo.

“It's okay, ma'am. I know this is a lot for her to take in after so many concerts. Just do make sure that we will be wed in three months, if we succeed in marrying, rest assured that John Bio is in good hands.”

Yoondo then took off from his seat and exited their penthouse. Yoonhee could only blast in tears, Yoonchul consoling her. Yoonchul mouthed out to Eunbyeol, ‘Ttal, can you please talk to your sister about this?’

Eunbyeol nodded and walks to Rona's door. She was hesitant but knocked on it. She wasn't expecting Rona to open the door but her sister did open. “Can I come in?” Eunbyeol asked.

She could see Rona's red eyes but she has to talk this down to her, or else their family shall be ruined. Rona nodded and let Eunbyeol in. They sat on the bed and hugged each other.

“Rona-ah...” Eunbyeol started. “I know it hasn't been 10 years since you've opened up to me after what we were before but I still have to say what I have to. To be honest, our John Bio is in trouble. John Bio has not been doing well for the past few months and we are having a hard time managing the revenue these days. We hardly can make ends meet, more and more staffs are getting removed and we have lost a significant amount in revenue this year.”

Rona's ears perked up hearing the shocking news. “Why didn't you guys tell me this? Why must I have to learn about it only now?” Rona asked, heartbroken. “Eomma and Appa didn't want you worrying and we didn't want to bother you with your busy schedules. We are sorry about this, Rona-ah.” Eunbyeol consoled.

“But why must it be Jung Yoondo? I don't understand.” Rona questioned. Eunbyeol drowned herself in silence, contemplating to tell her sister the truth or not to.

“Just tell me everything, sister. Please, I cannot bare to be thrown in the dark any longer.” Rona begged Eunbyeol. Eunbyeol sighed and squeezed her sister's hands. “Jung Yoondo... he's our biggest shareholder for now, he will be funding and helping John Bio. He's... he is the chairman of JK Corporate.” Rona was in disbelief.

“You mean Jung Yoondo, the lazy ass jerk in the whole Cheong Ah Arts School that bugged Seol Ah for three years is the chairman of the best corporate company specializing in medicine? No way.”

“You went too detailed in that description but yes, he is the chairman. I cannot lie to you about this one, sis.” Eunbyeol said, putting her right thumb and index finger on her temples.

“You knew how I didn't like that jerk Eunbyeol-ah. He has bad manners and I bet he still steps on people like he used to in high school.” Rona scowled.

“I mean, well he still does but this marriage between the both of you could save John Bio. Rona-ah, please help us. I know this is so fucked up but if you do marry him, you will be saving a lot of our staffs.” Eunbyeol tries to persuade Rona but Rona looked like she has a lot on her plate.

“Tell me Rona, what's the thing that is making you doubt about saving our company? I know you have a lot on your head right now. Just tell me and we'll confront this together, I promise.” Eunbyeol said.

“I don't think you can help me out with this one, sis. It's too complicated and I don't know how to tell you.”Rona planted her face between her knees.

“Tell me, honestly. What is bothering you?” Eunbyeol confronted Rona, holding their shoulders up.

“I'm dating Joo Seokhoon, Shimwoon's heir.”
