Desirability- Seokhoon x Rona ✔️

36 Desire is...fading

Rona stepped into their cottage, still feeling weak from the days in the hospital. 

The hassle at the gala was suppressed by Yonghwa's social skills and everything seems to be back to normal. 

Rona was back at her familiar bed, her familiar kitchen, her familiar garden. 

Only to plant, another little seedling. 

Seokhoon could see that Rona was depressed. She was not her again. She had fully been destructed by this fall. 

Despite the two of them promising each other that this time of difficulty will pass by as all the difficulties they had been through, Seokhoon knew, Rona was heavily damaged. 

She has been blaming herself. 

Blaming herself for losing another child. Another hope. 

Perhaps deep down, she hoped this child would stay so that her hopes of being with Seokhoon forever would be a firmer decision in Joo Dan Tae's mind. 

But now, she knew...it was just a matter of time, before Joo Dan Tae makes his move. 

Rona knew very well. 

But as she looked to Seokhoon, she knew, Seokhoon didn't know as well as she did. About her situation. How easy she was to be replaced. 

Seokhoon kept on saying he would protect Rona, would defend for her. But Rona knew, he was threatened every time. Every time he would not fight back, and she knew he could not. He was trapped. Trapped under the vicious ways of his father. 

Rona wanted no harm over Seokhoon. She had fallen deeper in love with him, and she wanted to be with him, forever. 

But to people like them, forever...is uncertain. 

Yet, Rona didn't want to give up. She had that fire within her, her perservance in these hardships. However, undeniably, that fire were gradually fading with this impact. 

"Do you want a rest?" Seokhoon spoke, as Rona patted the soft soil around the seedling. 

Rona clapped her hands together, dusting off the soil from her gloves and took it off. 

"I'm alright. But you should. You haven't been resting. I know you head back to work once I am asleep." Rona pouted at Seokhoon, angry at him being a workaholic. 

Seokhoon held Rona close to him, as they swayed along with the soft wind surrounding them. 

"I will never be tired when you are around." 

Rona smiled although she still had this wave of sadness within her. 

"Thank you Seokhoon. I should..." 

"Shhh." Seokhoon hushed Rona. Closing his eyes, he gently caressed Rona's hair. "We will try again. We will get our little angels back again. They won't leave us like so. Don't worry." 

Rona smiled, this time more genuinely. She loved how Seokhoon would comfort in ways that wasn't appealing but always sending warmth into her tender heart. 

"How do you suppose we are going to do that?" Rona teased. Her mood was definitely lifted after Seokhoon's comforts. 

Seokhoon looked into Rona's eyes as the two blushed and giggled. 

"Well then, I bet we have to see." Seokhoon took Rona into his arms bridal way, ready to carry Rona right to the bedroom. 

Rona had to stop Seokhoon instantly before the lion inside of him explodes once more.
