163. She gave a little nod, making the final decision quietly as the other women drew nearer.
164. She knew her friends would not question her and would help her make the transition.
165. Ara glanced again at Oliver, wishing everything could change, feeling cold resolve settle over her heart.
166. She reached for a comb, starting to style his hair as she whispered to the others in Korean:
167. “이 아이와 몸을 바꿀까요? 정말 원하면 주문을 써야 해.” (“Should we swap bodies with this child? If you truly want it, we need to use the spell.”)

177. Min-seo grinned and added,
178. “그에게 이제 할머니보다 나이가 많다고 말해줘!” (“Please tell him he’s now older than his grandma!”)
179. The five women gathered close, forming a circle around Oliver, speaking their spell in whispered Korean.
180. Their voices grew sharp and sudden, a chill filling the room.
181. A glowing shimmer hung in the air, sparkling between their interlaced hands.
182. Oliver suddenly felt dizzy; the chair seemed to fall away beneath him.
183. He tumbled forward, but found himself not on the ground, but standing—on legs much taller, feet in unfamiliar platform sandals.
184. He looked down to see his toenails and fingernails painted powder blue, matching Ara’s.
185. Around his wrists and fingers glinted Ara’s jewelry, seven pieces in total, heavy and strange.
186. Panic seized him as he looked wildly for his mom and grandma.

188. The face in the mirror was Ara’s, not his own.
189. Oliver’s eyes filled with tears; he clapped a hand over his mouth to suppress a sob.

195. Ara—now in Oliver’s body—blinked innocently and sat quietly.
196. Hyun-jin whispered, “이제 Ara가 아이가 되었어!” (“Now Ara is the child!”)
197. Meanwhile, Oliver struggled, dragging his new, clumsy feet to the other mirror.
198. “I…I not Oliver,” he whispered, trying to find the words.
199. Most of the stylists pretended not to notice, busy dusting, talking, and snipping hair.
200. Ara—now inside Oliver’s tiny self—felt both strange and delighted, marvelling at the simplicity and lightness of his world.

210. The other stylists continued to work, sweeping hair, folding towels, and setting appointments.
211. Oliver, in Ara’s body, stumbled over to the window, gazing desperately outside at the street.
212. The light seemed to blur and fade—nothing looked familiar anymore.
213. In Korean, he pleaded, “나 다시 돌아가고 싶어.” (“I want to go back.”)
214. Ji-won shook her head gently, “이제 너무 늦었어, 새로운 삶을 받아들여야 해.” (“It’s too late now, you must accept your new life.”)
215. Oliver felt tears stream down the unfamiliar cheeks.
216. The stylists comforted Ara-in-Oliver, encouraging him to play with a toy.
217. Emily and Linda watched, believing all was right and smiling softly at the child they thought was Oliver.
218. Oliver, trapped in Ara’s body, watched the life he knew drift further away, now only a memory.
219. The stylists laughed and joked among themselves in Korean, discussing what to do next.
220. “오늘 저녁에 모두 같이 축하하자!” (“Let’s all celebrate together tonight!”)
221. Ara, inside Oliver’s body, nodded eagerly, basking in the attention.
222. Oliver felt the weight of seven strange pieces of jewelry, hands trembling as he adjusted the sandals.
223. Every word, every movement felt like drifting in a dream.
224. Emily and Linda collected little Ara (Oliver’s former body), the swapped child, and left for the ice cream parlor.
225. Oliver watched them go, unable to speak, silently mouthing words.
226. Min-seo patted Oliver’s new shoulder again, smiling.
227. “It funny, yes? You wear pretty shoe. You older now!”
228. Oliver nodded numbly, lost and silent.
229. The stylists finished their shift, locking up the salon for the day.
230. Oliver wandered the salon, feeling utterly out of place.
231. Ara’s memories slowly began to fill his mind, blending with his own.
232. Ji-won hugged him, whispering, “Welcome to new world.”
233. Oliver stared at the mirror, seeing Ara’s face where his used to be.
234. Emily and Linda never suspected the truth, always believing their loved ones were safe and unchanged.
235. The five stylists secretly celebrated late into the night, their spell complete, their friend restored to childhood.
236. Oliver remained in the salon, forever changed, wearing platform sandals and jewelry while longing for the past.
237. The new Ara—as Oliver—adapted happily to his simple childhood, running and laughing.
238. The world outside glimmered with possibilities for those willing to take what they wanted.
