Disclaimer: Penthouse story and characters are not mine. I'm just a big SeokRona fan who still can't move on from Penthouse. ( ꈍᴗꈍ)

I'm very sorry for not updating this. Don't worry, I won't abandon this story. It's just my laziness in translating (and editing) my story to English sometimes took me long enough to start doing it. (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

Hope you enjoy this new chapter and as usual please forgive grammar mistakes and typos. (^_^)

"Bae Rona, I don't understand how you could find out where they would take Min Seola to?" Rona heard Taein ask beside her. They were now heading to a place that she finally remembered as the place where Min Seola was ganged up on by the Hera Palace kids.

"I don't know where exactly that is, but I heard they were going to kidnap Min Seola and take her to a car dump near Hera Palace. Then I found the place after searching for it on the map." She answered lying. Her gaze was fixed on the street ahead.

The distance to that place from Taein's store was quite far so she wondered whether she would be in time to help Min Seola.

"Are you sure they'll actually take her there?" She glanced at Taein for a moment before turning her gaze back to the front.

Is she sure?

There was a side of her that wondered about it. Are they still going to take Min Seola and bully her? Or did the different path with which she entered into Haneul changed everything? But earlier, from the look on Eunbyeol's face when she mocked her failing the test seemed like she was right on target, there was a belief in her that the bullying incident that Hera Palace's kids carried out against Min Seola would also happen.

"We'll see." She answered Taein's doubts. Yes, there's nothing wrong with betting on this anyway.

"I don't understand, why do you care so much about a person you don't know at all, you haven't even met her yet?" Taein's question caused her heart to beat faster.

Yes, he's right. She had never met Min Seola. Of course, how did she meet the girl her mother killed? But even so, she seemed to know Min Seola because she knew everything about her from the story of Ms Shim, Logan, and other Hera Palace kids who had shared stories with Min Seola. Even though she had never met her, for some reason she wanted to make amends for that poor girl.

"I kind of have a responsibility towards her. Funny isn't it?" She knew exactly why she did this. She wanted to atone for her sins. Make up for her mother's mistakes. Because after all, Rona became soprano Bae Rona partly because of the sacrifice that innocent girl made. Maybe by doing this, she could lift her guilt a little.

"Just because you heard they were going to attack her? To think you have such a hero complex. Just watch out if you're not like this when you hear I'm getting into trouble."

"Hey!" She rolled her eyes. Her legs felt tired, but luckily her destination was in sight. She stopped the bike she was riding.

"Is that the place?" Taein asked her. She then checked again from her phone before nodding.

"Yes, that's the place." She looked around her. The Hera Palace building looked magnificent not far from where they were. "This is the only closest car dump to Hera Palace. Look! Hera Palace is visible from here." She pointed to the grandest apartment among the views of the other buildings. Taein followed the direction of her finger before nodding.

"Alright, let's move closer." Taein got off his bike and led her. Her friend put his bike in a hidden place. She looked at him confused.

"We'd better put the bikes here. And sneak up on them." Taein explained to her. She nodded in understanding before placing the bike she was using next to Taein's.
