A K-pop Idol 57 (Patreon)

Alex was sleeping soundly when he heard a loud bang in his bedroom and then he felt something falling over him. 

"Hey, what's going on here?" the feminized man asked, scared. 

"Kim Hana, wake up. You have to wake up right now!" he heard Song Yeon screaming. 

Only then he understood that the bang he had heard had been caused by Song Yeon and Choi Hyun practically busting the door of his bedroom down, and now the girls were jumping on him. 

"Is there something wrong?" he asked. 

"Something wrong? Oh no, silly girl!" Choi Hyun said. "It's fantastic! Come with us!" 

They then dragged Alex out of his room, while the feminized man protested, saying that he was wearing only his nightgown. That was true. He was dressing a white nightie – with a cute pink bow at the neckline and lots of lace – which showed the curves of his increasingly feminine body. 

He realized he was being taken to Choi Hyun's bedroom. Once there, they approached the girl's computer. 

"Hey, if you just wanted to show me something on the internet, there is a computer in my room too!" Alex said. 

"Yeah, but you only have a laptop so the screen isn't that big. It would be even better if we had a movie screen around here..." Song Yeon rambled. 

"But what's so important that you want to show me in such a hurry?" 

"Our MV, girl!" Choi Hyun said, hardly containing her enthusiasm. 

"Hmm? I thought it would be published later this week."  

"Yeah, we too" Song Yeon said. "But it seems that our record company decided to anticipate the release. This was posted last night at midnight. And you won't believe..." 

"What?" 

"Look at the number of views!" 

When Alex looked at the computer screen, his jaw dropped. It already had more than five million views. 

"What time is it? What time is it?" he asked anxiously. He was so stunned that apparently he had forgotten that he could have simply checked the time on the computer clock. 

"It's a quarter past eight in the morning" Choi Hyun said.

"Oh my gosh! Our MV had more than five million views in just over eight hours. And during the night!"

"I know right!” Song Yeon said. "This is incredible!" 

"Sooo amazing!" Alex exclaimed. Then, he started jumping and squealing with the girls, completely unaware of how girly he was acting. He was truly ecstatic. After so long dreaming of being a famous artist, it was finally happening – a song he had written and recorded had millions of views… With his old band, he had never achieved more than thirty thousand views. 

Only then he remembered the circumstances surrounding this success. He had not achieved this as Alex, an American guy, but as Kim Hana, a cute and pretty Korean girl. However, he felt bad for only two seconds. At that moment, he was feeling so proud of himself that he didn't care he was being forced to wear skirts and had real boobs. 

"How is that even possible?" he asked. "Our manager said they were expecting to reach three million views after a week. It's way better!"

"Yeah, but they also keep saying that there is a lot of hype about our group" Choi Hyun said. "I guess this is bigger than they had thought. Also, I'm sure that Byun Sehun's participation in the MV helped a lot. There are lots of comments saying how great you two looked together. Oh, but be warned that there are also some jealous girls who want to kill you" she giggled. 

Alex felt a shiver as he heard the actor's name. For the past month he had avoided the guy in every possible way. This hadn't been easy, though. Byun Sehun had gotten Alex's phone number somehow (the feminized man suspected that some of the girls was behind it), and had called Alex out a few times. 

Alex refused all invitations as politely as possible, saying he couldn't go out because the group was training all the time so they could be ready for their debut – which was true, after all. The good side of that even more intense training was that he and the girls had no time anymore to watch K-Dramas. Besides, he was so tired every night that he couldn't even have dreams. He just slept soundly, completely exhausted…

However, when he finally watched the MV, he felt a little aroused again. Oh, Byun Sehun and I definitely look great together, he thought. We could make a cute couple... 

But then he shook his head, appalled by that thought. A little later, he managed to forget this idea and got happy again. The MV was just perfect and the whole group was looking great. 

 After that, he and the girls spent over an hour reading all the comments they could, and they were amazed by how much love they were receiving, as they used to say in Korea. Unfortunately, it couldn't last longer. They had to get ready because they had another training day ahead. They would perform on three TV shows that weekend, in addition to other commitments, so they had no time to lose. 

My life as a K-Pop Idol is about to start, Alex thought, not sure about how he felt about it.
