Winter Flower

Summary:

Inspired by @soft_gyeoul's story.

What if on the day of the accident in the Community Room, Rona got into a coma instead? And when she woke up, she lost her memory, forgot everything and everyone. Little by little she gained her memories and she's questioned herself why she had suffered these much? Will she accept people around her who hurt her and her mother, including her ex-boyfriend who left?

Even if you forget me, I'll be by your side watching you bloom -Joo Seokhoon-

Notes:

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

Welcome to another story of mine. I hope you're not bored with me.
(^_^メ)

Anyway, this story was inspired by @soft_gyeoul who wrote a story about what if Rona had a fatal injury in the accident that happened in the community room. And that's why I write this. I hope you'll enjoy this story.

And it is also inspired by the song: Winter Flower by Younha ft RM

As usual, bold sentences are song lyrics and please forgive grammar mistakes and typos. (^_^)

Chapter Text

 

***

(Hold on, hold on)

(Hold on, hold on)

Born under the deep footprint

In cold winter wind

Looking for the reason why I was born and met you

Breath spreading in white fog

Tears that freeze

Abandoned dreams leave another scar

Where's the end of this season?

If there is an eternity

Hold on, hold on, hold on

I will take it away before you stumble

I will stay by your side until you survive

Hope you bloom

Why did I meet you?

Why did it have to be now, this cold day

When I close my eyes, the spring is still far

This place is full of cold breath

Harsh winter, from the blood you spilt

I was born in red

Snow plum, camellia, narcissus

Yes, you can call me whatever you want

They say life is full of paradox

All you gotta do is getting

Used this marathon

Is the world tough on you only?

The world is tough on everyone

But that doesn't comfort an adult like you

Listen close, winter. You've bloomed me

Now I'm going to bloom, a blue perfume with my root

Let me teach you, there are other skies

I'll call it out loud, the fall that resembles you

Light spreading in white is the frozen sun

It exists like the moon in hiding

Where's the end of this wait? If there is a start

Hold on, hold on, hold on

I will take it away before you stumble

I will stay by your side until you survive

Please bloom

I won't forget your warmth

I'll become a winter flower, a dancing star

I will be by your side

Stay

I will take it away before you stumble

I will stay by your side until you survive

I hope you bloom

I hope you bloom

I hope you bloom

I hope you bloom

[ Younha ft RM - Winter Flower]

 

Rona didn't know why she was always suffering. She always wondered the real reason why she deserved all these sufferings. It's like happiness was something expensive that she couldn't have. Instead, crying was something she has every day as if her eyes are a tear factory that never stops producing. However, she could still live through it all. Until finally she could no longer endure the suffering and the sadness she felt made her brain forget everything. Will she be able to gain the will to keep fighting after remembering everything? Can she get through it all from the start once again? Can she be a flower in winter? Either a flower that survives in the cold weather or a flower that finally grows at the end of winter.

Seokhoon watched her break down, watched her get hurt but still could hold on to live through everything. In contrast to him, she was not a weak person, not someone who gave up easily. He had promised to always be by her side. A promise he failed to keep. Therefore, when he saw her fall. When he watched her on the edge to give up and lose a will to hold on, he knew it's his chance to fix his mistakes. This time, he would be by her side. Even if she lost her memory and forgot him, he will still fulfil his promise to be by her side. He will wait for her to bloom in winter and be by her side to protect her.

Seokkyung watched her brother break down, blame himself for everything that happened to his beloved girl. She often saw him asking for forgiveness and another chance when they got punished by their father. But she never saw tears and painful cries from him when he did that in front of the door that separated him and the girl he loved. She knew it's her time to be a good sister to him. It's the time for her to be his rock, to be his shoulder to lean on. It's time for her to help him watch a flower, a beautiful flower that trying to grow in the middle of coldness. If he wanted to be beside that beautiful flower, waiting it to bloom. Then she will be behind him ready to catch him every time he stumbled when he feels tired.
