prologue

There are times when I question myself about my maniless. My friend, Ah In, questions me too, or rather pokes fun of me and I can’t do anything about it because I am too scared to confront him. You can say he’s more of a bully than a friend.

I’ve known Yoo Ah In since I’ve been given life into this world. Our mothers are best friends and had made a pact that they’ll have their children marry each other. Despite having boys, my mother decided to make me grow up to be the feminine one and Ah In’s mother made him, well manly. Since gay marriage wasn’t approve, and still hasn’t (sadly), our mothers have been saving up so that I could get a -change. Of course the men in the family wouldn’t stand for it and my father knocked the idea out of my mother’s head when he found out about this grand plan. It took awhile of course since both my mom and his mom stood their ground for a good couple of years months.

Sometimes, I find myself thinking that it would’ve been better to keep to my mother’s plans. It has been a good 18 years of my life, but I am sad to say that I have not dated. Not one girl has come up to me to flirt or anything! Rather, when they did come up to me, they asked me questions about other guys.

“You’re a good guy, Joong Ki ah.” They would say as though it’s a compliment. I was too naïve to think it was but now I know better. Its no compliment. It’s a stab to my pride and an insult.

Especially when those girls fawn over guys like Ah In. I don’t get them, really. They say one thing but do the exact opposite. They complain about their heartaches and how they are tired of bad boys. I have long learned that when they  say these phrases, they get even more intrigued by them ‘bad’ boys. It’s ridiculous.

So, I have a plan, a master plan.

I’m tired of those ‘good guy’ compliments. I’m tired of guys like Ah In getting the girl. No, I shall not stand for it any longer.

I, Song Joong Ki, shall transform into a ‘bad boy’.

Of course with the help of my bully good friend, Yoo Ah In.
