II - Kai's Past & Present




I made my way to my locker and the bathroom fixing my face and my mask. I heard my name being called out, I fixed the outfit I chose for today. I blew out the breath I was holding and put my contacts in, making my way up the stairs to meet with them.

I passed by the counter, grabbing two trays one with drinks and one with snacks. Mikey, one of the staff that I just hired did some digging about the two I was to meet. Lucky the things they like are served in my cafe, I placed the drinks and snacks arranged by who likes what.

I waited my back turned my hands behind my back, I was getting tired of waiting so I opened up my laptop and looked up my newest remix.

( This is what I pictured as Kai's voice when rapping )

The lyrics in this was me picturing when it's my future self, even though I don't know where this road would take me. But I've been given my shot, hopefully, I don't fuck this up like I fucked up while I was in the states. I still think deep down why my mother killed herself and the thoughts about my father treating me the way he did.

When I finished, I heard the sound of clapping. I bowed motioned them to their sits I had already set up for them.

"Hello, My name is Kai. Let me start off by saying, It's an honor to meet you both, but my reason for you being here isn't for me to beg for you to let me be apart of the show. But give you and show you the reason why I wear a mask."

"Stop! Don't! Kai, we know who you are, we just wanted to see if you would come forward and tell us the truth."

I looked at both the CEO & Producer, my eyes wide in bewilderment. "How? If I may ask?"

"Well to be honest the regional manager of your cafe contacted us a few months ago, about his adopted daughter and her rare talent. We talked it over with certain staff members, we've had our eye on you longer than you can think. 1 1/2 years ago, you were outside a radio station singing I believe if I remember correctly. Park Jeong-su, had told us you where we could find you when we came looking for you. Come to find out my own Group member had adopted you" The Producer said.

"Appa?! He knew?!

They both laughed and I heard "I'll see you at home Kai. Mom will pack your bags for you. Good Luck Lil Sister!"

I turned around and stared at the Ceo, "So your okay that I'm a girl and that has this kind of voice?"

He nodded, His next question through me off.

"Do you only rap? Or do you Sing and Dance?" The CEO said.

I smiled in return, I took off my mask anyways and gave him a cute aeygo. "I can rap, sing, in 4 different languages. I also dance, I've been doing all this since I was 10. Thank you for giving me this opportunity, although I know I won't debut I just wanted to stick my foot in the door if you know what I mean. Because come on who would want a girl like me as an Idol but can sing and rap like a guy, granted dancing is universal." I told them.

The CEO looks me dead in the eyes and says, "I have some other companies who are interested in you. I've sent them video feed of you busking in the streets, One of my many friends is also YG. The one who debut BIG BANG, Epik High, 2NE1, CL and Min-ji."

I was confused, "It's just I don't want anyone knowing I am female until I'm ready to tell them. I'm ready for the world to see what I am made of and not that I am female. Thank you again." I tell them.

"We will see you on Monday, Kai good luck. We will be looking forward to seeing all the judges baffled at your talents."

"If you please tell the stylists about my preferences ahead of time, that way no one gets awkward when they meet me and that everything is set on course."

I shook hands and told them to go ahead and relax, I had arranged for lunch to be brought up. "I had help and they did a little digging and made what you like best although some are of my own recipes, I do hope you in enjoy. Please excuse me while I get back to work."

I had bowed and turned to go down the stairs, "One more thing KAI, did you write the remix for that song?"

I nodded my head, "I made my own music, and lyrics. Not only for my raps and when I sing I also produce the beats to when I dance as well."

I took off the mask and removed the beanie, I shook out my hair. Having my bangs cover up my eyes before I even went any further I heard something interesting. "Too bad her mom can't see her now, she would have been proud of her."

I thought I misheard him but I let it go for now, as soon as I made it behind the counter. The other employees gathered around me, congratulating me. I felt the love, till she walked in that is and soured my mood. When I say She it was Akira, the Japanese student who transferred to our school 5 years ago.

On the first day of school, she had all my friends turn against me and said I was a circus freak.

"Hey Kai, being a server suits you well. Who knew you would so look like a boy more now than back then." She said to me.

I ignored her comment, I had to set a good example for the other employees. "Hello Miss, what can I get for you today? May I interest you in our specials today or will it be the same order from yesterday."

I felt the stares from above, "Mikey go see what our VIPs want, I have to finish taking care of this customer."

"Omg is That Eunhyuk-Oppa? What in the world is he doing in a dump like this?"

"My apologies miss, but what they do here is none of your concern. So if you could please get on with your order, the line behind you is getting kind of long."

I looked behind her as I see men wearing suits and K-idols alike line up behind Akira, standing straight again and I smiled at her.

"Whatever I don't need anything here, your such a slut Kai. No matter what you do in your lifetime, no one within their right mind would want you with your manly ass voice." Akira said.

"You see this is how I know we are truly different Akira, no one cares what you think. They only do that to appease your high and mighty personality because they don't wish to upset you. Just cause your Appa is a police task force, doesn't scare me so you can whine and bitch all you want. Your dad can't touch me because I haven't violated any laws, so you go ahead and go whine to your daddy. Because daddy will fix the mess you made, but one day he will grow tired and he won't be able to fix it anymore. While I will be by myself fixing up my own mess I create. Because I am responsible and I can take care of myself since I was 15. Here's some advice from someone you use to bully, It's not right to fight back with what others think of you but with what you think of yourself. Only you can determine if you are good enough or not. SECURITY! Please escort Miss Akira out, I think her ride is getting towed away for parking in a no-parking zone."

Once she was gone, I cracked my neck and blew out the breath I was holding after I said everything I wanted to say to her. I saw myself in a new light, I cracked a smile as I giggled like a little school girl. I stopped laughing, well shit I am still a girl. I was in deep shit if people got me to laugh.

"Now I apologize for the scene that was just caused, with that drinks are on the house," I called out to everyone in the caffe.

I looked up at the CEO who motioned me up the stairs.

"Let's try something okay?" He looked at me, then called out down below as RED VELVET, walked up to our section.

I bowed in greeting, The producer fixed my hair placing my beanie on. He placed my mask back on and told me to sing something for them. I nodded I walked to my laptop putting one of the songs that I love the most in this world.

(The producer wanted to test Kai's skill, he was going to see if she could behave in front of females)

"Eunhyuk-ssi, who is he? Is he a new trainee you found for your show?" Joy had said. I was shocked to see her, she was my all-time favorite from RED VELVET. After the song was over I bowed and thanked them for their kind words. "Hyung, can I show them? It feels wrong to deceive them like this, especial when Joy from Red Velvet is asking you all these questions, it makes me feel bad. Noona I loved you in The Liar and His Lover, it's one of my favorite Kdramas."

I take my beanie of fixing my hair like before, I took off my mask as they looked at me. Jaws dropped. I started giggling because their expressions were funny.

"You're A GIRL? WHAT THE FFFFFFF?" Irene unnie said.

"Well you see I am 100% girl but I was born with a males voice, I'm sorry if I deceived you. It wasn't my intention at all If you're going to blame someone. Blame the CEO & Producer, please excuse me I have to get back to work. I close today, then I'm taking leave. I also have to pick a temporary manager. My Oppa will get mad if I straight quit and I can't do that. Not to them anyway, they accepted me the way I am."

Before I even reached the stairs, I was grabbed from behind to be pulled back into the four girls embrace. "Well now you have the four of us now as your unnie's, we will be rooting for you. We have high hopes for you Kai, we would wish you luck but we think you won't need it."

"Hey Kai, before you go home stop by the office to get your uniform. You're going to need it for Monday, don't worry I called ahead someone will hand it to once you get there."

I just nodded and went on my with the rest of my shift, I had no idea that all 6 of them stayed until closing. I picked Mikey because I personally trained him and he picked up my habits whether they were good or bad, but they should survive without me.
