My New Roommate (An EXO FF)

11) Secret

I was dressed in girl clothes for the first time and had extensions to make my hair longer again, and I was happy. It was great not having to use my boy voice, which still sounded kind of girly anyways. Thankfully it wasn't too obvious and fit my appearance or else EXO would have doubted me.

"Well if it isn't my favorite upcoming model, Unji!" Sumi unni said as I entered SM and we gave each other a hug.

"Annyoung Unni," I said when we pulled away and she frowned.

"You said you didn't have a chest." I scoffed at her byuntae-like comment before actually replying with words.

"Well, at first I didn't have much. I'm a growing girl after all," I shrugged and she laughed.

"So, how'd you get out of the EXO dorm in that?" she whispered.

"I went to the park nearby and changed into this. I plan on going back to that park to change back so I can go to the dorm and sleep," I whispered back before we both pulled away laughing.

"Are you excited for your first job? You get to be super cute and do aegyo! Eommaya, what would the boy Jihyun look like doing aegyo? You know, at first you had me fooled and it's not that easy to tell that you're a girl when you're like that because there are guys with feminine features and voices and all. If you really were a boy, I would definitely be your fan if you were also famous," Sumi started rambling and I had to bite my lips to keep from saying something mean.

"Sumi unni, what is this for?"

"Eo? Oh! This is going to be for promoting different dresses, since this is ball season and all. You'll get to wear different styles of dresses and take a picture next to a very princely male."

"Why do you talk like that?" I mumbled to myself and thankfully she didn't hear what I said.

"I don't know who the person is because they didn't say but I guess it'll just have to be a surprise for the both of us! Anyways, today is a great day for you because you get to wear such beautiful clothes! I'm kind of jealous! But not really because without me, you would just like alright in it. I'm going to make you a princess, Unji!" Sumi held up a white bag and twirled around with the happiest smile I've ever seen in my life.

Man this girl loves her job. She doesn't even care that she looks like a child with the way she just keeps spinning. 

She helped me with pretty much everything! By the time I walked out with her, I really did feel like a princess. My simple, natural make-up and thick black eyeliner, my hair(and extensions) was curled into chocolate ringlets that cascaded over my shoulders, a black flower fascinator perched atop the curls while the lace draped over my left eye, the black felt wedges that I had to practice walking in before I could come out because I forgot what it was like to wear girly shoes, and finally the navy blue maxi dress with it's cinched waistline and intricate black beaded patterns over the lace bell sleeves. Maybe this was how Cinderella felt?

Sumi and I made our way over to the staff members and did our rounds before the person I was to work with came out and began doing the same. I didn't get to see who it was because we always seemed to be in opposite directions until the photo shoot had actually started. When we turned to greet each other, my heart nearly stopped at the sight of the horribly familiar face.

"Byun Baekhyun?" I whispered unintentionally.

"Neh, and you are?" he smiled and nodded at me. Before I could respond, we were being directed to do a specific pose, signally that the photo shoot was starting. I let myself be natural in front of the camera because I realized that Baekhyun has no idea who I am just yet and I wanted to get through this faster so I could get away from him.
