A few hours later, Sofia and Ryeowook sat in front of Lee Soo Man's desk, waiting for him to arrive so they could announce their relationship to him.  Both of them did not want to be there.  They hadn't even told their parents yet!  Then, Lee Soo Man made his appearance and sat down at the other end of the desk.  A small smile formed on his lips, getting a slight idea what this was about.

"So, Leeteuk said that you two had something to tell me?" asked Soo Man, folding his hands.

"Yes.  Um..w-we're in a..relationship." stammered Ryeowook while Sofia fidgeted with her hands.

"I see...I approve.  You just treat Sofia right, understand Ryeowook?" asked Soo Man sternly.

"Yes sir.  I will." Ryeowook said.

"Good.  Now, Sofia, have you told your parents yet?" asked Soo Man, turning towards her.

"Um...that would be a no." admitted Sofia, avoiding his eyes.

Soo Man sighed and then turned to Ryeowook.  "Have you told your parents Ryeowook?" he asked.

"Aniyo." answered Ryeowook.

"So, you two decided to tell me first instead of your families?" asked Soo Man.

"Leeteuk oppa didn't give us a chance to.  He made us come straight here." Sofia explained.

"Aish..." was all Soo Man said.

Ryeowook and Sofia exchanged looks, wondering if the meeting was over.  Finally, Ryeowook got the courage to speak.  "Um...sir, is the meeting over? Are we free to go?" Ryeowook asked tentatively.

"Yes.  Please go tell your parents, both of you.  Sofia, I'll be expecting a gushing phone call from your parents when you tell them." Soo Man dismissed them.

As Sofia and Ryeowook walked out, they held hands.  They were glad that Lee Soo Man approved their relationship. Now they needed to tell their parents.  Sofia had no idea on how to tell them that she was dating an idol.

"That went extremely well." commented Ryeowook, breaking Sofia out of her reverie.

"Yeah, it did.  I just have no idea on how to tell my parents I'm dating someone or an idol for that matter.  I know they'll like you though, idol or not." said Sofia.

"Yeah.  My parents will like you too.  Also, we need to decide if and when to go public." said Ryeowook.

"Let's wait.  I really don't feel like getting killed by jealous fangirls." Sofia said.

"Alright.  We'll wait until you're ready." Ryeowook said, kissing her hand.

When they got back to the dorm, Leeteuk called Sofia and Sungmin to his room.  The trio went in and sat down on one of ther beds.  Leeteuk had an unreadable expression on his face, but Sofia and Sungmin had a slight idea what this was about: Sofia's anxiety attacks.
