A K-pop Idol 51.3

"No way!" said Jun Sunhwa, also having a hard time to believe that this perfect Korean girl before her was actually the American guy she had met a few months ago. "This can't be Alex! This is impossible!"

"Of course she isn't Alex" said Yu Joo-hyun, the producer of the group. "She's Kim Hana. From now on, for all purposes, Alex never existed. I have already talked about it with you girls. All of you need to remember it or we can get in trouble."

"We're sorry, sir" Song Yeon said. “It's just that... Kim Hana, is it really you?"

"Yes" Alex said, blushing. “I know I look quite different, but yeah… this is me."

"Wow!" Choi Hyun exclaimed. "Even your voice sounds different. And you look so..."

"Marvelous!" Jun Sunhwa completed. "Oh, Kim Hana, this is so fantastic! How are you feeling about your transformation?"

For a moment, Alex almost told the truth about his feelings. He was hating all that, of course, and he wanted more than anything to go back to being the guy he had been before. In addition, he was very frightened by the fact that even he was having trouble seeing himself as a man.

However, he knew he couldn't say something like that with the producer around. That man had no idea that Alex was actually a male person.

Also, he could see how much Song Yeon, Choi Hyun and Jun Sunhwa were happy. They were about to become K-pop Idols, as they had dreamed all their lives. He could sympathize with them. He knew if he were about to become a Rock Star he would be feeling overjoyed…

Instead, there he was, wearing a pink dress and high heels, soon to become one of the cutest and prettiest girls of Korean Music... He decided not to think about his misery at that time. He really didn't want to spoil the moment that the three girls were experiencing. He really liked them, after all.

His real problem was with Park Hara. He realized that all this time she had remained a step behind, observing Alex with an enigmatic expression. It was impossible to know what she was thinking. At that moment, he was hating her more than he had ever hated anyone in his entire life. She was the one to blame for everything that had happened, and the feminized man would address this issue later. He didn't know how yet, but he would get even with her.

At that moment, however, he needed to act as if everything was fine, thank you very much. The other girls deserved it.

"Oh, you know" he started, moving closer to the girls so the producer couldn't hear him very well. "I got a little shocked with my new look at first, but... well... I guess I can get used to it… Maybe I can even start to enjoy being Kim Hana!” he giggled with his hands over his mouth, as an authentic Korean girl, although in fact he wanted to hit himself for saying that.

"You kidding me!" Song Yeon said, openmouthed.

"Well... I always wanted to be a famous artist, and this is my big chance… Our big chance! And I’ve been thinking... What’s the problem about being a pretty girl like you all?" he added, wanting to die.

"Oh, Alex, this is so sweet!" Choi Hyun said. “You can be sure that we already consider you one of the girls! And in fact, you look better than all of us. This is so amazing!"

She then hugged Alex, being careful not to crumple their clothes, and soon Jun Sunhwa and Song Yeon joined them.

Alex had already noticed that the girls also looked more beautiful than before, although they clearly hadn't been subjected to such extreme cosmetic procedures as him. Later, he would learn that virtually all K-Pop artists were subjected to some surgical interventions before their debuts. That was a kind of a usual procedure there.

Song Yeon and Jun Sunhwa were also wearing dresses, though their outfits weren't as girly as Alex's. Choi Hyun was wearing a cute top and a mini skirt, and Park Hara was wearing a long-sleeved shirt and short shorts.

"And how about you, Park Hara?" Jun Sunhwa said. "Won't you greet Kim Hana?"

"Of course!" Park Hara said, smiling. "It's just that I’m so impressed about her new look that I got speechless! Congratulations, sweetie" she said, hugging Alex too. “You look dazzling. And it's nice to know that you're okay about it. Maybe you were meant to be a girl all this time!”

"Yeah" Alex said, wanting to strangle her right there. “Who knows?”

That moment didn't last long because soon the producer approached again. "Okay, girls" he said. “It's time. I was told that everything is ready, and people are just waiting for you. Follow me.”

Noticing the excitement of the girls, Alex even squealed and clapped along with them, determined not to let them realize how he was feeling for real. In any case, he really needed to get further into character at that moment. He needed to believe that he was Kim Hana that night. Otherwise, he knew that something terrible could happen…
