Fix me, please?

Chapter 18: The matters of the heart

Jaehyun watched in silence. The two young individuals, standing in the rain. He noticed the way she melted in his arms. The sparks in her eyes that he had never seen before. It stung. Something stung on the inside. He could feel his stomach twist into a tight knot. Tightly gripping on his umbrella, he walked towards them.

"Bae Rona." He said coldly finally breaking the moment between the two. Seokhoon looked over with a confused face. "Han Jaehyun?" Taking a deep breath he removed Seokhoon hand that was wrapped around Rona's arm, and placed himself in between them.

"Listen lover boy, I don't care whatever you had going on with her a few months ago but now, things are different." Seokhoon's gaze darkened. "Rona-ya, how do you know this guy." Rona stayed silent as she stared at the ground. It was a mistake. She had messed up again. This was not what was supposed to happen. Memories of the day she saw him last on the penthouse flashed before her eyes. The hatred that she had seen in those eyes. Reality was sinking in. That's right. They were not supposed to do this again. Never again.

"I'm sorry, Jaehyun-ah. I..I wasn't thinking straight." Jaehyun turned around as she looked at him, completely ignoring Seokhoon. "What...do we do now? Now that someone found out I'm alive...our plan...." A small smile escaped Jaehyun's lips. He placed his hands on her arms and squeezed them slightly. "It's okay. I understand. We will fix this somehow. You trust me right?" Rona nodded while forcing a small smile. Seokhoon looked on in confusion. "Rona-ya...why...are you ignoring my question?" Jaehyun looked over.

 "We'll explain. For starters, you'll have to come with us."

"Why do I need to do that? Why are both of you acting like I'm invisible? Bae Rona...say something."

"Joo Seokhoon, just do as Jaehyun says." And with those couple emotionless words, Rona began to walk away from them, towards Hera Palace.

(Half an Hour later, In Hera Palace, Yoonhee's House)

Seokhoon sat on the couch after changing into Jaehyun's clothes while staring at the ground. In front of him, sat the three Han brothers with stern expressions painted on their handsome faces.

Rona stood behind the wall and watched quietly, her gaze fixated on Seokhoon. The more she saw him, the more she wanted to hold him. The tears were threatening to fall down again but she couldn't give herself away. She couldn't ruin this anymore.

"Will someone tell me what the hell is going on? Why are the three of you in Rona's house?" Seokhoon finally broke the silence. Seojun let out a soft sight and looked at him with a stern gaze. "It's a long story and we don't know if we can trust you with all the details." Seokhoon scoffed. "Can't trust me? If this has anything to do with Rona, no one can be more trustworthy than me. I'm her boyfriend." 

"-was her boyfriend." Jaehyun cut in. "You're not anymore. That's not gonna change."

"Anyways,-" Baekkyung intervened noticing the glares seokhoon and jaehyun were shooting at each other. "-the most important thing right now is that you cannot let anyone know that Rona is alive. Not until we find out the identity of the person." Seokhoon shifted his attention to Baekkyung. 

"Who?"

"Someone who wants to kill her."

Seokhoon's looked over at Jaehyun after hearing those words. "What?" Seojun nodded. "It's true. Someone wants Rona gone and we highly suspect it is someone among the Hera Palace residents and everyone involved with them.

"What exactly happened. What makes you say this? Did someone try to hurt her?"

"We can't tell you everything yet. If you prove yourself to be worthy of our trust, we will tell you everything when the right time comes."
