A K-pop Idol 73.4 (Patreon)

When Kim Hana arrived at Park Hara's apartment, he was greeted by Jun Sunhwa, who shared the place with her. 

"Hey, Hana!" she said. "Is everything okay? You look..." 

"Is Park Hara here?" it was all she asked. 

"Yes, and the other girls are here too. We are..." 

Before she could even complete the sentence, Kim Hana walked past her into the living room. There, she found Park Hara, and also Song Yeon and Choi Hyun. They were watching a movie. 

"Hi, girl!" Song Yeon said. "What are you doing here? I thought you were with Byun Sehun.”

Just the mention of that name made Kim Hana feel even angrier. Next to her, there was a lampshade. Without thinking, she grabbed the object and threw it in Park Hara's direction. Park Hara's luck was that, as a great dancer, she had amazing reflexes. Thus, she managed to lower her head just in time and the lampshade hit the wall behind her and broke into a thousand pieces. 

"What the hell was that?" Choi Hyun asked, getting up and heading towards Kim Hana. 

"Get out of my way, unnie! I need..." 

"You need to explain me what's going on" She said seriously, using her authority as the Sweet Dolls' older sister. "You almost hit Park Hara and she could have been seriously injured. Why did you do that?” 

"Do you really want to know?" Kim Hana asked, realizing that she had no alternative. “Fine! I'll tell you ... I'll tell all of you!" 

And so she did. Kim Hana reported what had happened in Byun Sehun's apartment, and everything he had told her. The girls were outraged to hear what Byun Sehun had done. 

"I'm sorry for that, Kim Hana honey" Park Hara said, with what Kim Hana believed to be a fake sad expression. “But I assure you that he was lying about me. He was probably just trying to confuse you."

"I guess she's right, sweetie" Choi Hyun said. “You cannot trust Byun Sehun after...”

"Oh, but I'm sure he was telling the truth. And you know why? I’ll tell you everything Park Hara has done to me since we met...”

"Kim Hana honey" Park Hara said in a sweet and innocent voice. "You're very tired and confused.  Maybe you should..." 

"Shut up, bitch!" Kim Hana said furiously. "The girls deserve to know who you really are." 

Then, Kim Hana told them the story from the beginning. How Park Hara had manipulated him into dressing like a girl… All the times she had humiliated him to further weaken his male ego… The night, still in America, she had forced him to kiss another guy… And worst of all: her plot to make Kim Hana (or Alex, at the time) underwent those extreme surgeries that virtually eliminated any chance he still had of being an American guy again without him/her knowing what was happening.

As Kim Hana was telling them all this, she felt more and more relieved. It was nice to finally be able to share it with someone. Park Hara was listening to her impassively. It was impossible to know what she was thinking. And the other girls, Kim Hana's true friends, seemed increasingly shocked and angry by that narrative...
