The Second Call (1/1)
I was still ecstatic – have been since that first call! I could NOT believe that I'm going to South Korea for a FAMOUS GROUP! XDIt was 10 at night and two days before we were to leave for our flight when I got a call - another unknown number."Hello?" Haylie stared at me and mouthed, 'Who is it?' I shrugged. The person didn't answer. "Uh, hello?"Finally a man answered. "Yeoboseyo?" More Koreans."Ne?"He continued in Korean. "Is this Lee Soohae?""Yes."The guy sighed. "I am Super Junior's Manager. I have a favor to ask of you and your sister."I was confused. "Uh, of course. May I ask what is it?"He paused. "This is not just for me, but for Super Junior, and you and your sister, too."I was still confused. He kept beating around the bush and wouldn’t get to the point. Haylie had been watching the whole time with a confused that matched mine well.I asked the manager, "What are you talking about? What favor?" Haylie jumped out of her bed and ran across to mine to listen to the conversation. I put it on speaker.He sighed and quickly said in a jumbled sentenced, "Iwouldneedforyouandyoursistertodressupasguys."We said at the same time, "EXCUSE ME!" It may have been jumbled, but we heard every last syllable in that word-like-sentence.The manager said in an exasperated voice, "If you two are to dance, we can't have only two girls in an all guy group. Plus, the guys are not the easy-with-females type, they need to know you first to be comfortable with you to be on stage with them." I was thinking, 'Oh, are you SERIOUS?!'I asked, "Do you mind if I put you on hold for a little? Just 3 minutes; 5 max." He said yes. I put the call on hold."GAH! How are we gonna’ dress up as guys?" Haylie was silent, looking around the room. That's what she does when she's nervous or thinking. She finally looked at me and said, "Kaylie, it's just for a week. Plus, what harm can this do?" I thought.I went to my phone; 8 minutes passed. "AH DANG.”I pressed resume. "Hello? Sir, are you still there?"He said, "Yes. Have you come up with an answer yet?”I looked at Haylie. She nodded. I sighed, "Yes, we’ll do it."He still sounded a little down when he said, “Okay. Thank you. Goodbye.”“Goodbye, Sir.”After that, we went straight to our bags. We had to take out most of our clothes. Then, we stuffed our least female clothes in and kept a few girly outfits at the bottom.As so as we finished, we went to sleep. I didn’t know for sure, but I was pretty positive we both went to sleep with frowns.
