Leeteuk buried his face in his hands after Sofia left.  He was so frustrated with her.  Why wouldn't she let him help her?  This question kept going through his mind as he walked back to the living room to rejoin his dongsaengs.  A small smile made its way onto his face as he spotted Sofia curled up into Ryeowook's side.

"Awww...you two are so cute." cooed Kangin.

"Oppa!" Sofia said, blushing and hiding her face in Ryeowook's chest.

"Hyung, you're embarrassing her." Ryeowook laughed.

"Have you two told your families yet?" asked Leeteuk.

"You didn't give us a chance to.  I'm telling mine today over a Skype session." answered Sofia.

"Good.  Ryeowook, what about you?" asked Leeteuk.

"I'm free on Saturday night.  Sofia, would you like to have dinner with my parents?" asked Ryeowook.

"I would love to.  I've been wondering what your parents would be like.  I bet they're cute, just like you." said Sofia and Ryeowook chuckled.

"Oh, my parents should be online now.  Ryeowook oppa, would you please come with me?  My parents want to meet you." Sofia said, glancing up at the clock.

"Will they like me?" Ryeowook asked as they walked to her room.

"They'll love you." Sofia reassured him.

Sofia booted up her laptop and logged onto Skype.  Sure enough, Sofia's parents were on.  She sent them an invitation to chat via webcam and they accepted.  Soon, her mother's face filled the screen.

"Sofia! How have you been?" Sofia's mom chirped in greeting.

"I've been great.  There's someone I want you to meet.  Is Dad there?" Sofia asked.

"Unfortunately, no.  He's at work." Sofia's mother said sadly.

"That's alright.  Mom, meet Ryeowook oppa.  He's my boyfriend." Sofia said nervously as Ryeowook shifted into view.

"Hello Mrs. Park.  Its a pleasure to meet you.  Your daughter is amazing and beautiful." said Ryeowook politely.

"Its a pleasure to meet you too Ryeowook.  Thanks for helping and taking care of my Sofia.  She seems so much happier now." Sofia's mother said, thouroughly touched.

"You're very welcome.  I'll always be by Sofia's side, don't worry." said Ryeowook reassuringly, taking Sofia's hand and giving it a gentle squeeze.

"I can tell you love her.  I don't care if you're an idol, you're still a regular person.  I approve of your relationship." Sofia's mother said, smiling broadly.

"Mom, you have no idea how much that means to me.  Thank you so much!" said Sofia, a few tears coming out of her eyes.

"It means a lot to you.  I have to go now.  I love you and take care." Sofia's mom said before logging off.

"Sofia, are you crying?" asked Ryeowook, tilting her face so her eyes could meet his.

"A little.  I'm just happy that my mom accepted you.  She's the most important person to me." Sofia said.

"I can see that." Ryeowook said, wiping her tears.  Then he kissed her gently.  That one kiss was filled with love and trust and Sofia wouldn't have it any other way.

Author's Note: Chapter 19 is done! So, I went to Chocolatefest yesterday.  I saw one of my favorite local entertainers and, get this, I WAS ON THE STAGE WITH HIM TWICE TO DANCE TO A COUPLE OF HIS SONGS!  During one song, I was the only girl and I got a mention for it!  After that, I gorged on chocolate.  Anyways, Comment and Subscribe! :)
