Who Am I
Description
When you were two, you were found crying silently outside of an orphanage. The woman in charge had a son of her own, and as there were no extra little girl clothes for you, she dressed you in hand-me-downs of her own little boy. When a couple came looking for a son, you immediately won their hearts. However, it wasn’t until after the adoption was finalized that they realized you weren’t a boy at all—but a little girl! Shocked and infuriated, all their love turned to disdain. They needed a son, not a daughter. Forcing you to be the little boy they wanted, they severely punished any feminine traits that you displayed, until you were conditioned into the role of a proper son. Now, as you’re nearing the end of high school, you parents have started pressing you to go through with the hormone therapy and reconstruction surgery to make your gender permanent. A girl trapped in a web of lies and a body that isn’t really yours, what happens when you drunkenly confess to your best friend that you’ve always had feelings for him?
Pairing: Woohyun/You/Taecyeon
Warning: This story deals with issues that some might find triggering, or otherwise uncomfortable. If there is a possibility that you will find discussions of tranualism, child abuse, gender identity issues, or anything pertaining to the aforementioned things triggering, please do not continue. As I have warned you first thing, I will not tolerate any form of flaming in the comments, whether directed at me or the readers. Thank you for your consideration.
*Note: By "triggering" I mean that it in some way reminds you of a traumatic experience of your own.
Foreword
About You
Name: Kim, Hyun Shik (legally changed from Hyun Ok)
Age: 18
- Short (for a boy); considered a flower-boy by the girls at your school, as well as your friends
- Called the YinYang Prince; you're sweet and almost too sincere to be considered greasy to all girls, until one confesses to you and then you become icy and standoffish
- Very athletic; you play soccer and practice taekwondo, but you still manage to have the lean, lithe body of a dancer and you're okay with that. You don't really want to bulk up like your friends.
Other Characters

Here's the deal, guys. I'm posting up the Foreword for this, because I want to get a feel for if there's any interest. I know that it seems like you can't possibly imagine yourself in the main character's point of view, but trust me, it won't be any harder than if you were reading a genderbend story instead.
If you want me to start this story and post up chapters, I need you to subscribe and/or comment.
I don't want to post this if no one out there will enjoy it. I might write it for myself, but it won't be put up here unless there's active interest. That doesn't mean I'm looking for 10 people to be wanting it. As long as there's at least 3, I'm good.

PS. Please don't steal this plot. It's definitely my own. If you do decide to borrow it and tweak it on your own, please credit me for the original idea.
PPS. I decided to change the rating from being Mature in general, to doing what I do for my other fic. If there's anything I think might be triggering/uncomfortabe for a reader, I'll mark that chapter as Mature instead. Sorry if this is confusing!
