Heechul was the next one to come home.  He was about to sit down on the couch, but stopped himself when he saw Sofia.  He kneeled beside her to look her in the face.

"Who...did this?" asked Heechul, pushing her hair out of her face to get a better look at her injuries.

"Saesangs.  They hate me.  Everyone hates me.  I'm trash.  Ryeowook oppa deserves better." Sofia said, another round of tears rolling down her face.

Heechul was shocked and furious at the words coming out of Sofia's mouth.  He knew that she was just getting over her depression and was in a veyr fragile state.  Heechul was afraid that this attack would reverse her progress and make her relapse.

"Honey, not everyone hates you.  The fifteen of us here love you.  You're not trash.  Ryeowook loves you and only you." Heechul said in an attempt to console her.

"Really?" Sofia questioned.

"Really.  Now, let's take care of these imjuries before Ryeowook gets back." said Heechul.

Sofia sat up and silently followed Heechul to the bathroom.  He helped her sit up on the counter and took out the first aid kit from under the sink.  Heechul started with her hands, cleaning and disinfecting the scrapes.  He put bandages around them and moved onto her face.  Taking a washcloth, Heechul dampened it and held it to her lip.  He also made a makeshift ice pack for Sofia to hold to her eye.

"Um...Heechul, those saesangs were also apart of Only 13." Sofia said hesitantly.

This visibly startled Heechul.  "You're kidding.  Is that why Zhoumi and Henry looked troubled when I came home?" Heechul asked and Sofia nodded.

They heard the dorm door open and close, signifying that someone had just come home.  Footsteps thudded down the hallway towards the bathroom.  Ryeowook's face peered through the open doorway.  He looked livid.

"Sofia, what happened?" he growled.

Sofia cast her eyes downwards, looking ashamed and staying silent.  Heechul sighed and answered for her, "Saesangs attacked her and they were Only 13 on top of it." 

Ryeowook clenched his jaw and curled his hands into fists.  "I told them to leave her alone." he growled again.

Heechul narrowed his eyes and walked towards Ryeowook, putting him in a headlock and dragging him to one of the bedrooms.  Heechul threw him onto one of the beds and Ryeowook cowered in fear.  He knew that Heechul was clearly upset and angry about what had happened with Sofia.

"And since when do the saesangs actually listen to us?  They don't!" shouted Heechul.

"I know, but-" Ryeowook started, but Heechul cut him off.

"No buts Ryeowook.  Whose bright idea was it to go public anyways?" Heechul asked.

"Both of ours, but I told her to wait until she was ready and she thought she was after being together one hundred days." said Ryeowook quickly so Heechul wouldn't cut him off again.

"And did you explain what she might encounter after the initial announcement?" Heechul asked.

"Not really.  I just warned her about the saesang fans." Ryeowook admitted.

"Ryeowook!  There's more than just saesangs.  She has to know about potential harrassment, rumors, scandals and the hate.  You better expalin this to her and make sure she understands it not her fault." said Heechul.

"I'm scared to tell her." Ryeowook admitted.

"You have to.  This attack shook her up pretty badly.  I'm afraid that she'll relapse into her depression and I know none of us want that." said Heechul,  leaving Ryeowook alone with his thoughts.

Author's note: Chapter 58 is done!  It took me a long time to write this chapter because on Thursday, my dog bit me and ended up bruising my right hand and wrist, making it very difficult to write.  Also, HEECHUL IS BEING DISCHARGED ON AUGUST 30TH, ONE DAY EARLIER THAN THE ORIGINAL DATE AND I'M FREAKING EXCITED!  Next update will be on Wednesday!  COMMENT AND SUBSCRIBE!  :)
