Together [You & I]

Incheon Airport, Seoul

Seokhoon and Rona had been staying in Seoul for about a year and a half. Now Hyun Jae was already 1 year and 6 months old, it was time for the family to head back to Vienna. They had been away from their base of operation for sometime, and it was time to finally return back. The couple naturally felt saddened by leaving but Vienna was the best place right now for both of their careers so it was wise to go back. Maybe in time, they will move back to Seoul.

Their families had all come out to send them off. Remember to take care of yourself and also dress Hyun Jae warmly.

We will, Omma. Luckily, Seokhoon and Rona's babysitter was going to be coming and living with them in Vienna. With all her children all grown up, they were all living in different parts of the world. One of her sons was living in Belgium, very near Vienna, she was happy with the opportunity to be nearer to her children. With that she could be a constant exposure to Korea and Korean for Hyun Jae. As much as it was important for Hyun Jae to pick up English, since there is a high possibility Seokhoon and Rona would return to Korea eventually, learning Korean and Korean culture was a priority.

They said goodbye to their family and friends before heading towards the departure hall. They know they will miss their family and friends greatly but they could always video call, or they could fly up to Vienna to visit them as well.

Vienna, Austria

Seokhoon and Rona's house had undergone renovations over the last couple of months. After Hyun Jae was born, Seokhoon and Rona had bought a nice plot of land in Vienna. They decided to move a little further away from the main city and into a quiet but safe neighbourhood. One of the reasons why they eventually decided to move was because there was a high percentage of Koreans living in this area. Seokhoon especially thought it would be good for Hyun Jae and their future children to continually have constant exposure to Korea.

Their new house was built over 6 months as Seokhoon oversaw the construction of the new house. Seokhoon had expanded the floor plans. This was going to be Seokhoon and Rona's ultimate home. This was the home they plan to grow in and for their family to grow into. The house had 7-8 bedrooms. There was a separate extension to the house which was going to be the babysitter, Peter and Marcus residence. This would not only give them the privacy for their own personal time, but Seokhoon and Rona's as well.

Hyun Jae's nursery had expanded, Seokhoon took this opportunity to also build Hyun Jae a playroom. Hyun Jae had started to walk and was growing more curious by the day. So the playroom came at just the right time, it was perfect as it accommodated the expansion of families as well for Hyun Jae to grow up. The backyard expanded including a good size swimming pool as well as good space for Hyun Jae to run around. Seokhoon had plans to perhaps build a mini playground, when their family expanded.

Seokhoon and Rona made sure that their own master bedroom suite was tucked away in a nice quiet corner of the room. As much as they loved Hyun Jae, they also knew that spending time with each other was equally important as well. Rona decorated their new master suite, keeping it simple and minimal.

The music rooms of Seokhoon and Rona were upgraded; it was now a mini recording studio. It not only allowed Seokhoon and Rona to practise their music but to record new tracks whenever they liked. Rona wanted a relaxation room as well, she enjoyed drinking tea and so they decided to make a tea room that was attached to their office.

The house was beautiful and ready, when the couple returned to their new home, it already felt like home. Seokhoon and Rona did miss Seoul but they were ready to fully get back to work.
