"Ladies and gentlemen, Korean Air welcomes you to Vienna. The local time is 8:35am. For your safety and the safety of those around you, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened and keep the aisles clear until we are parked at the gate."

The PA announced.

After an unexpected turbulent ride, Rona finally left Korea.

Left the land of trauma and sadness.


"How are you feeling, Rona?" Chanseok spoke as he looked to Rona beside him.

She looked tired, confused, restless.

Indeed she didn't, and couldn't rest on her way from Korea to Vienna.

She stayed away the whole flight.

But she did nothing.

She only listened to the soft music playing over the radio, staring blankly at the dark skies outside the window. She saw how the dark skies turned blue, bright, possibly a sense of hope.

But her heart felt...hopeless.


"I'm...alright..." Rona spoke softly.

"You didn't eat, didn't drink, are you sure you're fine?" Chanseok spoke worriedly.

"Chanseok Oppa." Rona turned to him. "I don't want to sound annoyed, but...please don't treat me like so."

Rona sighed. "I don't want to add any burden to anyone. I want...to take this chance to be a free soul."

Chanseok was a little disappointed at Rona's words. But he understood. Rona had gone through too much to want affection or care in any way. Even from a friend.

"I'll keep an eye on you. Please don't reject that. At least at the early stage now, you need all the help you can get."

Rona fell silent.

She didn't reply, only staring at the airport before her, looking at the airplane stationing at the gate.

Chanseok sighed, and turned to fix his bags.


They finally landed at Vienna.

A fresh start.


Rona didn't know why she had followed Chanseok to Vienna, nor did she chose Vienna. But she guessed deep down, she did want to come to this land of music. A place where she might possibly reborn as a pianist. Start small and grow gradually.

She could be her innocent barista, her innocent hotel pianist, her innocent soul.

Simple life, simple thoughts, simple happiness.

She just wanted happiness again.


After successfully crossing the borders, Chanseok headed to get his luggage. The only luggage he took with him. All of his possessions.

Compared to Chanseok, Rona had barely anything, but a backpack.

"Wait for me, I'm going to get us train tickets. I know a friend, he can let us stay by his house until we settle down..." Chanseok spoke to the girl who had a dazed expression.

"Rona..." Chanseok called again. Rona looked up to him.

"It is temporarily. You can go free after I settle you down for a while."

Rona didn't know what to react, she only automatically nodded.

Chanseok nodded and left Rona at her spot, as he ran to get tickets.
