With a resolute yet concerned voice, Joo Seokhoon squeezes the female's hands gently and spoke.

'You should stay in the Penthouse with us for now. Don't worry about Seokkyung. If it worries you much , then stay in my room. I have a couch in there so you can just take the bed.

I'm very concerned for your safety and condition Rona yah....'

Hesitant and still confused and dazed at everything that was happening, Rona replies with a soft and exhausted voice.

'But...'

'No buts, Rona yah..... Please let me and mom take good care of you. You need company right now, don't be scared to reach your hands out if you seriously need it.'

Eventually Bae Rona buckles and nods, Seokhoon sighs and wraps his arms around the females back, pulling her down into an embrace.

Suryeon could only silently thank the heavens that Rona wasn't alone this time.... And that her son had chose to comfort the female and even... Stay with her.

In a brighter note... Thank god that Seokhoon was finally growing up and maturing.

After arriving at Hera Palace, Seokhoon had accompanied Rona to her home in the 45th floor. Once they had entered Seokhoon had asked Rona to sit down in the bed as he went in her closet to pack her necessities.

Taking a huge luggage and setting it down beside the quiet Rona. Joo Seokhoon starts taking the clothes that were organized neatly in the female's closet.

Pajamas, knitted tops, dresses, pants and coats.

In the midst of all of that, Rona had also quietly got up and packed a few of her other necessities.

After that, Seokhoon sighs as he takes Rona's hand and pulls her out of the appartment. He feared that having her stay there for a few more minutes.... Might actually destroy her and tear her apart.

Arriving at the Penthouse, Seokhoon nonchalantly leads Rona straight to his room. It would be the very first time Bae Rona stepped into Joo Seokhoon's room.

It was tidy and organized plus.... It was huge. With shades of navy blue, the room looked rather comfortable to be at.

Sitting Rona down on the edge of his bed, Seokhoon leaves her for a few seconds to put the luggage in his closet. Coming back out, he silently joins the female and sits right beside her.

'Don't worry about Seokkyung. This is the only room she won't be able to come in to or invade. Stay here for as long as you want. I'll sleep in that couch in the meantime.'

The couch was just across from the bed, hence if Seokhoon were to sleep there... It would give him a full view of Rona and he would be able to tend to her needs if ever something happens.

Seokhoon was very concerned at this point, Rona was still suffering through PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) with a mix of anxiety. At this point, after Yoonhee's unexpected and sudden death... He knew he had to expect the worse.

'You should probably rest for today Rona yah..... I'll go to the study room so you can take a bath.'

As Rona sat motionless and blank, Seokhoon sighs as he steps in front of his girlfriend and cups her cheeks.

Gazing down at her hazel orbs, he leans down and pecks her forehead.

'If you need anything else, just call me..... okay?'

Nodding, Rona could only smile slightly and watch as Seokhoon left her alone in his room.

What was going to happen to her now? She became an orphan in less than 24 hours...so sudden and so unexpected.

At this point... She didn't know and understand what she was going to do or what would even happen after all of this.

After taking a shower, Rona changed into a purple long sleeved nightgown that Seokhoon had packed for her.

She was soulless and numb....

Sitting on the chair by the huge glass window, Rona stared down at the tiny shining lights of Seoul.

She sat there silent, mind heavy with thoughts.

Without even realizing it, Seokhoon had entered back into his room and had slowly approached her unmoving figure.

He was hesitant... hesitant to speak the wrong thing or even pull the wrong string inside of her.

But he knew....that before she could even fall into the abyss of sadness and grief, he needed to pull her out before she went in too deep.

Laying his hand gently on her shoulder, Seokhoon finally makes his presence known.

'Rona yah... You'll have a long day tomorrow. It's already so late, you should probably go to sleep.'

But she still sat there frozen on the chair and silent.

It was then when Seokhoon notices the trembling of her body, finally walking in front of her.... He could only sigh sadly and kneel down to look up at the female.

As expected, she was crying.... Trying to drown the sound of her sobs by biting onto her lips.

'Rona yah....'

Holding her hands, Seokhoon couldn't bear to say anything anymore and reached forward to engulf the female in a warm embrace.

Stroking her long black hair, Seokhoon silently whispered comforting words and gently pecked her forehead.

He waited patiently and held onto the girl until the trembling stopped.

Slowly releasing the female from his arms, Seokhoon gazes at her red eyes. Her spirit had started to drain out of her face... It was obvious just by looking at her.

That was what he feared the most.

Gently tucking the loose strands of her hair behind her ear, Seokhoon gave her a few seconds to calm down and relax.

'Let's go, I'll tuck you into the bed. You should probably sleep....'

But as Seokhoon was about to help her up, Rona suddenly grips onto her boyfriend's wrist slightly startling him.

Kneeling back down to be at eye level with the female, Seokhoon squeezed her hands gently and speaks softly.

'Is there something that you want to say? It's okay, you can slowly tell me anything. I'll be here.'

Staring at his grey orbs, Rona mutters out a request.

'Can you please stay with me tonight?'

He was confused at first but he did not refuse, nodding and smiling at his girlfriend. He promised to stay beside her for the night and protect her from whatever evil that she feared.

Gently tucking her into his huge bed, Seokhoon carefully laid beside her and stretched his arms around her shoulder. Making his arm a sort of pillow for her.

Thankfully, Rona had immediately passed out that night, probably too tired and exhausted to even cry or grieve.

Gazing down at her unconscious face, the male suddenly whispers talking to himself.

'Lean on me as much as you want.
Whatever happens from here on.... I will protect you and look out for you.

Nothing will happen to you ever...'

And as we already know in the future of this universe... Joo Seokhoon eventually did keep his promise.

A promise to protect and love her only for years to come until eternity.
