"You're kidding me, right?" JaeJoong laughed as he leaned back onto the chair. He was now sitting in a restaurant across from the bar with Yunho and Changmin.

Yunho and Changmin's face didn't display any sign of laughter.

"You guys are serious?" his laugh died down. "You want me to dress up and tell everyone I'm a woman so that you don't have to get married?" JaeJoong's voice breaking a little at the end.

"Shhhh," Changmin pulled forward with his index finger on his lips. "Keep it down," he told the brown haired man.

"How am I going to keep it down? What you're asking me to do is insane!" JaeJoong stood up.

"We're willing to reward you nicely," Changmin stood up and blocked JaeJoong from walking off.

"I'm not that desperate!" JaeJoong shot him a glare. "Money can't buy everything!" he simply turned around and walked towards the other exit.

"Yah, let him go," Yunho finally spoke. "He probably can't do it anyways. He even got fired after only one night at the bar, and didn't the waitress say he performed for free?" Yunho laughed.

JaeJoong stopped in his track once he heard those words. "What did you say?" JaeJoong turned around to look at the man in the black suit.

"You heard me," he smirked.

Changmin realized what Yunho was doing once he saw that JaeJoong had stopped. A smile came over him. "Yeah, we'll probably just find someone in tomorrow's interview. I mean they're probably more professional anyways," Changmin nodded as he sat back down.

"The bar just didn't want another singer, that's why the manager didn't hire me," JaeJoong explained. "He took my phone number down in case a spot opens up. I wasn't fired!" he put his hands onto the table and stared Yunho in the eyes.

Yunho turned to look out the window as if he didn't care. "You'd wouldn't even pass our first test," Yunho mumbled.

"Yah! I didn't get fired!" JaeJoong argued. "And I'm sure I can pass any test you two can think of!" JaeJoong didn't like to be looked down on. The whole reason why he's out struggling in the real world by himself was because of this attitude.

"Does that mean you'll go with us to get the makeover?" Changmin seemed overly excited.

"I'll take the test but that doesn't mean I'll take the job yet," JaeJoong told him.

"Come to the office on the business card tomorrow and we'll see how you do," Yunho told him with a smirk as if challenging him.

"I'll see you there!" JaeJoong hissed and then turned around and walked out of the restaurant.

"Yah, you were brilliant!" Changmin turned to his friend.

"How could you not see it? The guy was all about 'money can't buy everything', he's full of pride. We just have to challenge him a little and he'll do anything," Yunho explained.

"Yah, I'm so impressed," Changmin patted his shoulder.

...........................................................

"Hair extensions?" JaeJoong ran to the corner of the room. He was now in Yunho's office with the people Changmin had hired to turn JaeJoong into a woman. He had his legs and arms waxed. His eyebrows neatly trimmed. And they gave him manicures and pedicures. They even dyed his hair black. JaeJoong was really reaching the end of his tolerance.

"Yunho told me his parents like girls with long hair," Changmin explained.

"Yah, short hair is so in right now! Why can't you just tell them that?" JaeJoong put his hands up in front of him to keep the beauticians away from him.

"But the parents like black long hair," Changmin repeated. "Come on, we're running late," he told JaeJoong.

"It won't hurt if that's what you're afraid of," the woman with the strands of extensions in her hand told JaeJoong.

"I'm not scared that it's going to hurt. It's just wrong!" he told her.

"Why is it wrong? There are plenty of guys with long hair," Changmin went over and pulled JaeJoong out of the corner to the chair. "You can't take the test without the hair extensions," Changmin told him.

"You can take it out after the test right?" JaeJoong asked.

"Of course we can!" Changmin winked to the woman to start.

JaeJoong sat in the chair for the next 3 hours getting the hair extension put in. He had fallen asleep after 30 minutes. When he woke up he didn't even recognize himself. "What in the world?" he stood up slowly as he took in the image in the mirror.

"Wow," Changmin came over to take a closer look. "How'd you guys get the make up on when he was asleep?"

"Our customers fall asleep all the time when they get their hair extensions put in, we're experienced in putting make up on when they're sleeping," the woman explained.

"I have make up on?" JaeJoong looked closer. "I can barely tell," touched his cheek.

"Your skin is already very beautiful, we didn't have to put much on. Plus didn't you want a natural look?" she looked over to Changmin.

"Oh yeah, we want her... I mean him in light natural make up," Changmin shook his head in disbelief.

"Wait until he tries on the hanbok Mr. Jung picked out," the woman pointed to the dress on the rack of clothes by the window. "And we'll pull your hair back and braid it for you too," she added.

"A hanbok? You mean like a woman's hanbok?" JaeJoong sent a death glare to Changmin.

"At least it's not a shoulderless dress," Changmin told him.

...........................................................

KNOCK. KNOCK.

"Come in," Yunho answered to the knock. He had migrated to Changmin's office to do his work because his office had the private bathroom and was twice as big, so it was easier for the beauticians to set up for JaeJoong's transformation.

"Yah, you have to come see this!" Changmin ran in.

"See what?" Yunho didn't bother to look up from his paperwork.

"Yah, come on!" Changmin pulled him from the desk and dragged him out of the office.

"Yah, what is the rush!" Yunho asked as he stumbled as he was being dragged.

"Look!" he pointed to the group of people in front of him.

"Mom? Dad?" his parents were by the elevators talking to a woman in a traditional korean outfit. "Where is JaeJoong? Have my parents gone to my office yet? Hurry go hide JaeJoong!" Yunho pushed Changmin.

"Yah, stop!" Changmin calmed his friend down. "Look carefully!" he shook his head towards Yunho's parents again.

"What? I see that it's my parents! I'll go stall them and you go hide JaeJoong!" he was getting nervous now.

"Yah, look who your parents are talking to!" Changmin pointed.

Yunho looked over to his parents again, they were happily chatting away with the lady in the hanbok. Then his eyes locked on the her. "Is that JaeJoong?" his eyes nearly dropping to the floor as his hand came up to cover his wide open mouth.

"Jung Yunho! There you are," the father called as he gestured for his wife and the lady to walk towards Changmin and Yunho.

Yunho still stood frozen. "What in the world? That's really JaeJoong? That's really a man?"

"We went to your office and saw this lovely lady waiting for you," the mother explained once they got closer. "Would you like to explain to us what is going on?" she asked with an unsure smile.

"Oh mom, dad, this is," Yunho stopped for a second. "I can't call him JaeJoong!" his brain shouted.

"Have you forgotten your girlfriend's name already?" Changmin nudged Yunho on the arm. "Han-Joong, please forgive my friend. He's a little nervous seeing you all dressed up," Changmin gave his friend a smile. "Right?" he nodded.

"Yeah, I didn't expect you to look ... so beautiful," his eyes didn't lie. Everyone could see that Yunho was surprised to see the beauty in front of him.

"Thank you," JaeJoong answered softly as he nodded slowly with a little smile. "I hope I'm not too early," he added. He had scrambled to memorize the lines from Changmin's notes as he saw the parents coming off the elevator. He had to go and greet them before they walked in to see Yunho's office filled with beauticians and all their equipments.

"No, you're right on time," Changmin was the one to answer. "The annual share holder's get together isn't until 7pm, we still have plenty of time," Changmin reminded Yunho of their plan to show off JaeJoong to the share holders to see if JaeJoong would get noticed.

"You're taking Han-Joong to the company's get together?" the mother asked.

"Yes, I wanted Han-Joong to meet the other share holders," Yunho nodded.

The mom turned to look at her husband with a worried face.

"Can we talk to you for a minute? Let's use Changmin's office, is that alright?" Mr. Jung asked Changmin.

"No problem sir, go right ahead," he even opened the door wide for Mr. and Mrs. Jung to step in.

"I'll be right back," Yunho was still staring at JaeJoong.

"I'll be waiting," JaeJoong gave a sly smile and shifted his eyebrows up and down as to taunt Yunho.

Yunho ignored the face JaeJoong gave him and followed his parents into the room. He shut the door behind him and turned to face his parents.

"What about Miyoung?" the mother asked right away. "What are you going to tell her?"

"Mother, I told you I didn't like Miyoung in that way," Yunho explained.

"Who is this Han-Joong? How serious are you guys?" she asked.

"I met her when I got back to Korea 2 years ago," Yunho explained. "I kept it a secret because she wouldn't agree to date me," Yunho thought back to the plan Changmin and him had talked about.

"You met her 2 years ago?" the father asked.

"Yes, it took me forever to take her out for dinner. And when we were getting along you and mom started to set me up with Miyoung," Yunho explained.

"How serious are you with Han-Joong?" the mother asked again.

"She's the only one I want to marry," Yunho stated.

"Didn't you say the same thing about some girl from America a few months ago?" she shot back.

"Oh, her," Yunho thought quick. "She broke up with me when she heard you were setting me up with another girl. American girls don't understand that kind of thing," he explained.

"And you're sure that Han-Joong is the one?" the father asked.

"Yes, I won't marry anyone else!" Yunho smiled. He felt that maybe his plan was working so well that maybe he didn't have to use JaeJoong's service for long before his parents got off his case.

The parents turned to look at each other as if regretting something they had done.

"Do you think we can call Mr. and Mrs. Hwang in time?" the father asked his wife.

"I think they're already on their way," she answered.

Yunho's parents took off in a hurry after their little chat, they rushed as if they were trying to stop something from happening. Not even stopping to say a proper parting to JaeJoong, only giving a smile and waving they rushed out.

"What happened?" Changmin asked as Yunho came out from the room.

"I don't know, they seem to be in a rush all of a sudden," Yunho answered.

"Did I pass the test?" JaeJoong asked in his normal voice.

"Test?" Yunho turned to look at JaeJoong. "Oh, this wasn't the test," he explained.

"What? I stalled your parents from going into your office! And they never suspected that I was a guy!" he argued.

"That was an emergency case, the real test is at the party," Changmin said as he pulled JaeJoong towards the door, in fear that JaeJoong would protest. "Come on! We don't want to be late," Changmin turned to yell at his friend.
