"Honey~I have some good news!" My mom exclaimed as she entered the living room.
"What is it?"I asked curiously looking up from my PSP.
"Taemin-ah, you know how you wanted to go to SM Acadamy..."She started.
"Yeah..."I asked her getting even more curious.
"Well I talked to the principal today and...."
"And.....WHAT?!?!Umma, just spit it out already!!!"I nearly yelled.
"And.....You got.........ACCEPTED!!" My mom said hugging me tightly
My mouth dropped open and my eyes became wide.
My mom had just told me that I got accepted into SM Academy. The greatest arts school in Korea!
"WHAT!! SERIOUSLY!!! No way! How?"I said all in one breath.
"Well, as I said, I went to go see principal SooMan, I showed one of your dance videos and he was impressed." She said with a prideful grin.
"That's awesome umma! Thanks!"I smiled as I gave her a hug.
"But there's one condition..."She said hesitantly.
"W..what is it?"I asked a little worried.
She sighed.
"You have to go to school as a girl."She slowly said.
"WHAT!!!!WHY???"I asked perplexed!
-Mom's Flashback-
"So you want to enroll your child in this school as a dancer?"The principal asked.
"Yes."The lady said with a nervous smile.
"Well do you have anything like a dance video of your child with you?"Principal SooMan asked.
"Yes, here you go."She said handing him a dvd.
The principal put the DVD into his computer and started watching.
Taemin's mother had a smug smile on her face as she saw the prinicipal look at the video with awe.
When the DVD ended he quickly regained his composure and started speaking.
"Well your child is a very talented dancer but, I'm sorry to say this Mrs.Lee, but there is no more room for male dancers in this school." He said with a sincerely sorry expression.
Her face fell but she quickly came up with an idea.
"Mr.Sooman, may I correct you, my child's a GIRL she just looked like a guy in this video because her hair was short at the time and plus she had a hood on." She said nervously.
He looked closely at the figure in the video.
"Oh! I'm sorry Mrs.Lee! I can't believe I could've mistook this lovely young lady as a boy."He said with an apologetic smile.
"It's okay."She smiled
"Well then, since she's a girl she's accpeted."
-End Of Flashback-
"Oh...So that's what happened...." He said.
"Yeah... And before I forget, here's your uniform, sweetie. You want to try it on?"She asked showing a uniform that consisted of a crisp white skirt, a white blouse with a big fluffly white ribbon and a light pink blazer.
"Uhh....It's pink...."I stared at the uniform with distaste.
"Yeah...and?"She said non chalantly.
"Ugh! Forget it umma." I said trying to ignore the very girly uniform.
I forgot to mention, even if I look like those girly-boys, I'm not! I admit, I sort of look like a girl but that's it!
"Taemin-ah! Let's try your uniform on!" My umma said a little too happily.
"Umma! Do I HAVE to try it on?"I asked.
"Yes! Now let's go change."She said as she dragged me to my room.
"Now go and change." She ordered as she lightly pushed me into my room with my new uniform.
I sighed and quickly put on my new uniform.
When I was done, took a quick glimpse of myself in the full mirror.
"God! I look ridiculous..."I murmured to myself.
But at least my sister's not here to laugh at me! Where's my sister you ask? Well she left last week to study abroad in New York. She's 1 year younger than me but she's really smart so she skipped a grade.
"Taemin, are you done?"My mom knocked on my door.
"Yeah! Come in!" I shouted.
"Oh my god! Taemin-ah! You look so cute!" My mom squealed hugging me.
"No I don't!" I said grudgingly.
"Well you will when you put this on." She said showing me a shoulder length, chocolate brown wig with gentle curls near the end and bangs.
She took the wig and gingerly put it on top of my head and turned my body around so I was facing the mirror.
My eyes widened. I always knew I looked a little bit like a girl but now with this wig I looked like a real girl!
"Oh my god, Taemin! You look so pretty!" She said with a twinkle in her eyes.
"But what am I going to do when I dance?" I asked as I carefully touched the wig.
"Well I bought this just for that!" She said pulling a black band from her purse.
"What is that?" I asked as she took off the wig and put it around my head.
"Well, it's a velcro band and it's supposed to prevent the wig from falling off." She said and put the wig back on.
She turned me around again so I was facing her.
"Hmm....All we need to do now is something about your chest......I don't think your sister will mind if we use one of her bras...." She said with mischievous smile and left the room.
"Oh god, umma..." I sighed to myself.
