Sofia awoke the next morning with a lightened heart.  There were no more secrets between her and the boys.  She got dressed and literally skipped into the kitchen.  Ryeowook was already up cooking breakfast.  He looked up and smiled as Sofia entered.

"Well someone's in a good mood this morning." Ryeowook commented.

"Neh.  I just feel...lighter after telling you guys everything." Sofia explained.

"That's good to hear." Ryeowook replied, taking a seat next to her.

"Yep.  Whenever I tell people I used to self harm, they would freak out and be disgusted by my scars.  You guys actually took it pretty well." Sofia said.

"May I see your scars again?" Ryeowook suddenly asked, a hint of heisitance in his voice.

"Um...sure." Sofia replied, a bit taken aback at his request.

Sofia rolled up her sleeves to her elbows.  She held out her arms for Ryeowook to see.  Gently, he took her left wrist and raised her arm up to his lips.  One by one, he kissed each of her scars, as if his kisses could make them disappear.  After he finished with her left arm, he repeated the same action with her right.  Sofia was deeply moved by what Ryeowook just did.

"Oppa..." was all Sofia could say through the tears of happiness.  She was at a loss for words.

"I may not be abel to heal your physical scars, but I hope I can help heal the emotional ones." Ryeowook told her.

"I said that I wasn't ready to open my heart, but you...you're slowly melting away the chains.  Just give me some time, arraseo?" Sofia confessed.

"I'll give you all the time you need.  I don't want to force you into anything." Ryeowook said with a reassuring smile.

Ryeowook took Sofia's face in his hands and stared into her eyes.  He used his thumbs to wipe away her tears.  Ever so slowly, he leaned closer to Sofia.  Both closed their eyes, anticipating the feel of each other's lips.  Ryeowook was just a breath away when someone entered.

"Good morning!" Han Geng chirped.

Sofia and Ryeowook jumped away from each other as quick as lightening.  Neither were happy that they were ed interrupted for the second time.  They both hid it so no one would get any ideas about them.

"I'll finish breakfast." Ryeowook said.

"Okay." Sofia replied.

Not too long after that, the other members started to stir.  They all arrived at the table, oblivious to what had conspired there just moments before.
