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

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

Name: Kim, Bong Cha

Age: 7

  • Biological daughter of the Kims, your adopted family
  • Loves her Shik-oppa to death; completely unaware that you're really a girl
  • Sweet, innocent, bubbly, and outgoing
  • Spoiled/doted on

 

Name: Nam, Woohyun

Age: 18

  • Your best friend since elementary school
  • Your secret crush
  • He has a second bed in his room because that's where you sleep most nights when you can't take dealing with your parents' abuses
  • Has no idea you're really a girl

 

Name: Ok, Taecyeon

Age: 21

  • Son of the woman in charge of the orphanage where you were adopted from
  • Chats with you online, via text, and email after sneaking a note into the Christmas card his mom sends you every year
  • Has a huge crush on you
  • Thinks you still live as a girl

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!

Chapter 4: this is amazing!! xD seriously, I was going to write a story with quite a similar plot myself ^_^
DON'T SKIP 'TILL THEN!! One of the great things about this story is the tragedy to it. Don't miss out loads of stuff like character building with HyunShik and WooHyun :(
Keep up the good work!!

Chapter 1: Wow this is all angst and slice-of-life and lovely smittened teenagers with gender issues and injustice and confused feelings with a heaping side of vulnerability and misunderstandings, huh? Sorry my descriptiom of this chapter is too long, it's just that all the feels~!!!

BTW, seriously loved how you described jealousy to be like a dragon; like a physical ailment, a shortness of breath, just this big bubble of confusion and why's

LOL, this was long! ALL THE FEELS! You're too good at those! Lovely start and I can't wait until the next chapter~!!!!!

I am DEFINITELY going to subscribe and read. You should continue. This is a plot I have never even dreamt of....

However, I am sooooooooo mad at the adoptive parents....like can't she report them? How can you mess a child up so bad that she thinks she is in a wrong body when she was born a girl, wants to be a girl, and likes boys? I would not do the hormone therapy...that is ridic. Now what if she confesses....he thinks she's gay and then nsjbndjkbdkjbcjbdfjdbjd;....the thoughts that are running thru my mind.
