"You can stop holding my hand." Rona smiled as Seokhoon held her hand tightly while he cooked. Even moving to get ingredients, he just wouldn't let go.

"I'm afraid you'll leave."

"I won't. Promise." Rona brushed his hand softly with her thumb, reassuring Seokhoon. 

Seokhoon unwillingly let go, so that Rona could go and set up the table for their late dinner. 

Seokhoon couldn't keep his eyes off Rona. He would never let her go, he swore in his heart. 

As he was cooking, something came up in his mind. 

"Rona." He called. "Don't bother setting up the table." 

Rona was confused. "Huh?" 

"Let's go picnic." 


Just one abrupt decision, the two couple was out near the pond where they had sat down before to talk about their past just yesterday. 


Seokhoon set everything ready. The mood, the food, everything. 


"My lady." He held his hand out to Rona, helping her settle down on the comfortable picnic mat Seokhoon got. 

Rona was still amazed how Seokhoon was so different when he is with her, than when she had seen him before with other people. 

He was this cold, unreachable man when she first knew him. But now, he was loving, caring, detailed, classy, refined... 

Everything she thought he would not have, he had it all. 


"Try this." Seokhoon placed a few of the food on Rona's plate. Yet, Rona was too busy gazing into Seokhoon's eyes, still figuring out who Seokhoon really was. 

Seokhoon smiled. 

"Are you not interested in the food?" 

Rona snapped herself out of the gaze and reacted to the small pile of food placed before her. 

"Wow. Is this too much for me?" Rona giggled. 

"Just eat, you must be hungry." 

"I am, because someone just wouldn't let me go and have dinner." Rona teased as she ate her dinner. 

Seokhoon blushed and smiled. 

Looking down, he started nibbling on his dinner as well. 


Soon after dinner, Seokhoon poured him and Rona a glass of red wine. The two settled under the moonlight, holding each other in their arms. 

"How crazy was it that we actually met when we were children," Rona mentioned, recalling the chat they had yesterday night. 

How fast the night changes. 

"I never seem to remember that part...it might be because of the concussion I had when I climbed the tree." Seokhoon sighed. "If I had known, I would not have done so many stupid things. I would have run to you first thing in my life." 

"We were just friends back then." Rona teased. 

Seokhoon pouted. "Am I not allowed to love you?" 

"No." Rona smiled. "Just wondering what would have happened if we had known each other since our childhood...and Chanseok Oppa too...what could have happened to the three of us..."
