Penthouse fanfic : Oneshots

NEW YEAR'S SPECIAL: Gotta be You

This oneshot takes place after Seokhoon breaks up with Rona in season 3. Joo Dan tae was just taken off the mental hospital and Suryeon is staying with Logan for safety. Seokkyung is at the hotel and Seokhoon is the only one staying at Penthouse right now.

***********************************************************************************************

Seokhoon sunk down on the couch after having his dinner in the quiet penthouse. He hadn't been able to meet Suryeon because of her plans to avenge on Seojin and Seokkyung had been ignoring his calls. He had thrown everything else away in his revenge against Dan tae and now that it was over, he didn't know what else to do with his life. There was an unopened envelope placed on the table in front of him. It was from Julliards. He had been putting off opening it for a week now. He didn't want to open it. He still believed he didn't deserve to live a decent life after all the lives his father had ruined, including the life of the one girl whom he never wanted to see get hurt again.

But Rona had been accepted in Julliards.

If he really was accepted as well, then he would be going to university with her.

Would it be a way life was suggesting that they weren't meant to be broken up?

Seokhoon chuckled at the stupid thought. He was being stupid again. He tended to have these idiotic thoughts of getting back with her every night when no one was around. Taking a deep breath he sat up straight and picked up the white envelope. Taking another quick breath, he opened it and removed the letter inside. Closing his eyes, he unfolded it and held it in front of him.

"Moment of truth..." He muttered.

Just then, the doorbell rang causing him to flinch and drop the letter on the table. He stood up with a confused expression as he glanced at his watch. It was striking 12:03 pm at the time. "Who could it be this late? Joo Seokkyung?" Forgetting about the piece of paper on the table he headed towards the door. He didn't care to check who it was from the peephole since it probably wasn't a stranger at this late hour and proceeded to unlock the door, expecting to see Seokkyung or Suryeon.

But instead there she was.

Her hair tied up in a messy bun, wearing an oversized white cardigan and sweatpants and a small haversack hanging from her shoulder and a nervous smile on her face.

"H-hey..."

"Rona...?" He mumbled, still unable to believe she was actually standing in front of him. The scar from her fall down the stairs a few weeks back was still visible and the last time he had seen her in the Hera Palace lobby she still seemed to have difficulty walking properly. He had been checking up on her from afar more often after the incident with Dr. Ha and Seojin. But he had made sure to never show up before him. He very well knew that even if Dan tae was being punished it didn't wash away any of his senses.

"Seokhoon-ah?"

Her sweet voice shook him out of his thoughts as he felt his heart leap inside of him when he heard her say his name again.

"Uh...what...are you doing here?"

Rona looked down, tightening her grip on her bag she looked up with an apologetic expression.

"Thing is...um...the electricity in my apartment just went out and it's too late to call someone for help...Jenny has also gone out with Mari Ajhumma for a trip...and Minhyuk is still in Japan...so...what I'm saying is...can I...stay...for the night?" Her voice was shaky and she seemed hesitant. She looked up at him with her big eyes and waited for his answer.
