After you getting signed you were almost immediately flown out to Seoul courtesy of SM.  It would've been better if you were allowed to bring your mom along, but you figured that this would be a good experience for you and you had to make some sacrifices to pursue your dreams.  You had barely spent anytime in Korea when your phone starting ringing.

"Yoboseyo?" You answered.  You didn't seem to recognize the number, but you definately didn't want to miss something that was going to be important.

"______-ah~ Glad that you answered. This is your personal translator and part time chauffer Hwayoung calling!" A girl who was apparently named Hwayoung. "I was told to call you and tell you that you need to get to the SM building ASAP and that I will be the one to drive you there!" She said cheerily.

"Alright sounds good to me!" You said. "But wait, don't you need the address for my hotel?" 

"Oh no, that won't be needed the company has it~ It's where they always put their new trainees before they come in.  So let's just say that I already did this 12 times in the last 2 months with your band mates." Hwayoung said and chuckled. 

"Okay then~ I guess I'll see you soonish?" You asked and started playing with your hair. 

"Yep in about 20 minutes I should be there if traffic isn't as ty as it usually is~ Bye see you soon!" Hwayoung said and hung up. You locked your cell phone screen and chuckled.  Hwayoung seemed interesting and she reminded you of your friends back home in sunny California.  Since you were insanely jet lagged from the flight you decided to take a nap in the 20 minutes you had to spare.  You were sleeping peacefully and having a really good dream when you heard a soft knock on the door.  You never really did like waking up much.  With a loud groan and some pouting you made your way to the door and opened it.  

"Annyeong _____! I'm Hwayoung~ It's nice to meet you!" Hwayoung said and gave you a warm looking eyesmile.  Hwayoung looked to be in about her early 20s, with long chestnut brown hair, milky skin, and huge dark brown eyes.  

"Annyeonghaseyo~ It's nice to meet you too Hwayoung-ssi!" You said and smiled with a small bow.  

"_____, drop the honorifics~ As long as you call me unnie just skip them.  I never really liked them, they make me uncomfortable" Hwayoung said and waved her hand around jokingly. 

"Okay unnie~" You said and nudged her arm.  Hwayoung grinned and laughed. You could tell already that the two of you would get along very well.

"So I assume that you're ready to go for the day?" Hwayoung asked after she stopped laughing.

"Well I don't really have anything I need to bring to the SM building today do I?" You asked and tilted your head.

"That's a very good point..." She said and smiled brightly again.  "Alright so since you have everything you need for today which is nothing, shall we go?" She asked and held out her arm.

"We shall!" You said, laughed, and looped arms with her.  The two of you walked arm in arm and chatted about many things on the way to Hwayoung's company car.  Once you reached the car, she unlocked it and motioned for you to get in.  

"So ______ tell me, you do know that you have to pretend to be a guy right?" Hwayoung asked interested.

"I do know that actually~ At first I didn't want to do it, but then I thought it would be a good opportunity," You said and nodded lightly. 

"I hope that you don't mind being a guy~ It's quite erm... Different... Let me tell you that, oh and keep your pads and tampons hidden AT ALL TIMES. I made that mistake more than once." She said and chuckled at the memory. 

"You've pretended to be a boy before?" You asked quite surprised.

"Yeah, I used to be a trainee for a boy group, but since I was too horrible at keeping that secret JYP decided to stop training me, but then I found this job that I love so much at SM~!" Hwayoung said and nodded.

"Woah~ I really don't want to be found out!" You said nervous.

"Don't worry you won't, you have me to cover for you!" She said and nudged your arm.  You smiled at her gratefully.  The car ride continued this way, just the two of you talking about nothing in particular and listening to music.  Once Hwayoung finally pulled up to the SM building she said that she had to go to a meeting, but she would meet up with you later for a coffee.  

"So this is the infamous SM building" You said to yourself.  Since Hwayoung had given you directions, you knew exactly what room to go to.  Sheepishly you knocked on the door and it opened to reveal stylists upon stylists and Mr. Lee SooMan himself.  

"You must be Lee _____ our newest addition to EXO~!" SooMan said and shook your hand. 

"That's me~" You said and smiled.

"Well I trust that by now you know that you will be acting as a boy?" He asked.

"I don't think I could ever forget that." You said and smiled.

"Good~" SooMan said and chuckled.  "So in order for this whole 'boy' thing to be realistic we need to change your looks." He explained.

"It won't be anything drastic right?" You asked.

"No don't worry, nothing crazy like plastic surgery there are plenty of more feminie looking men in this industry~" SooMan said and shuddered lightly. 

"Works for me as long as no surgery is involved~" You said and chuckled quietly.

"Great! Well I trust you in the hands of our stylists to make you look like a guy, so I will see you later!" SooMan said and left the room leaving you alone with the intimidating stylists. They crowded around you and started to work on you.  You were so busy being confused that you didn't even notice that they had added and aditional 3 peircings to your ears.  After what seemed like an eternity they were finally done.

"Are you ready to see your new look?" One of the stylists asked.  

"I guess I am..." You said.  You were feeling super nervous, because you wouldn't now how you would look.  

"Okay, on the count of three you'll get to see yourself~! 1....2....3!" The stylist said and spun you around in your chair.  When you saw yourself your eyes widened to the size of orbs.  You couldn't even recognize yourself.  You hair had been cut short, dyed a dirty blonde color, and messily styled.  Your ears had new piercings in them and you were even wearing a little bit of eyeliner.  

"So what do you think?" One of the stylists asked looking hopeful.  

"I look so different! I really do like it though thank you~" You said and bowed your head lightly.

"No problem~! Now go change into this." They said and handed you some jeans, a blue and white striped shirt, a navy colored sweatshirt, and a pair of gray converse shoes.  You changed quickly and came back out.  "Alright now all you need to do is go meet your bandmates~ They're downstairs in the main conference room , I believe that you passed it on your way up here." 

"Alrighty then~ Thank you again for this wonderful makeover....?" You said once more, before heading down the stairs.  Before you could reach that area SooMan stopped you.

"_____? Is that you?" SooMan whispered.  

"Yes, it's me" You said. "I was told to go meet my bandmates~" 

"Yep you should do that, but I need to tell you your new name.  Say that your real name is Youngbae and you just go by Bae. That's really all you should need to do" He said and smiled.

"Arasso. Thank you SooMan-shi~!" You said and smiled.

"And remember good luck!" SooMan said and waved as you walked away.  But just before you went into the conference room you decided to see if you were really a believeable guy.  You stopped by a bench with some girls who looked to be about your age.

"Hey, I'm Bae and you seem way to pretty not to know me" You said and winked. "I have to be going, but I'll catch you later" You smiled back to them as you started walking away.

"Omo Omo Omo! Did you see him? HE'S SO HOT." One of the girls sqeualed with her friends.  

"Score one for ____!" You said and did a little happy dance once they couldn't see you anymore.  Taking a deep breath you apporached the conference room.  Once you got your heart rate to slow down you slowly opened the door and 12 pairs of eyes were immediately on you.  Instantly you started to shrink back towards the door.  

"Errr.... Annyeonghaseyo Youngbae imnida..." You said and bowed awkwardly.
