"That was amazing, girls!" said the director at the end of the first take of the MV. "You know, I've heard good things about you all, but I really didn't expect you to be that great. You don't seem to be newbies, at all. Your performance was perfect right on the first try! Such a fantastic job!"
The girls thanked the director feeling flattered and happy. Even Alex was pleased with those compliments. He didn't want to be there, sure, but he had worked hard for that moment, so he couldn't help but was proud to know he was doing a good job and that all the effort was paying off.
Next, they returned to backstage to dress the next outfit while the technical team arranged the next scenario. This time, Alex’s outfit would be casual, consisting of a purple blouse that left his belly on display, a pair of white denim shorts and wedge heels.
When he returned to the set, he saw that this time they would dance in front of a beach scenario which also had a cartoon style. Once again, they were perfect. Alex could hardly believe how well he was being able to dance and act as a proper K-Pop Idol. One more time, he had mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, he was feeling humiliated for being forced to do that. However, he also felt satisfied because of his flawless performance. He was very confused because of this internal conflict…
Taking advantage of the scenario, the director also asked them to record some cute scenes, playing in the "sand" with a big ball, jumping and laughing, always doing a lot of aegyo.
After that, they filmed choreography for the last time with a new outfit. At the end of it, Alex shuddered as he remembered what was coming next. It was time to record the scenes of the MV's story…
He was returning to the backstage with Song Yeon when he heard the girl squealing at his side.
"What's wrong?" he asked surprised.
"Oh, look who just entered the studio!"
When Alex turned around, and saw who was there, he felt a dread he had never experienced before – not even when he had seen his body and face after the surgical procedure which had turned him into a Korean girl.
"H-how is that possible?" he stuttered.
"I know right?" Song Yeon said excitedly. “He must be someone so busy. I can't believe our record label managed to get him to take part in our MV!"
"Take part in our MV?" Alex gasped, even more desperate. "Do you think that's what he's doing here?"
"Of course, girl! What else could be? Oh, Kim Hana, you’re so lucky! I'm really envying you now… You’ll be able to act as his girlfriend! Isn't that like a dream?”
Oh, it was exactly like the dreams, or better, the nightmares Alex had been having. The one who had entered the studio was precisely the actor who played the role of Mr. Guo in the Drama he watched with the girls – the man he had thought of while he masturbated ferociously…
