Eun-sook Lee and Mi-sun Park tended to customers in sleek chairs nearby. 95. Soo-jin Choi cleaned the mirrored wall with quick, expert strokes. 96. Ji-yeon Kim sat at the front desk, phone in hand, speaking loudly. 97. Her voice echoed through the salon: 98. “Hallo, helloo, I spek wit you? You wan come? Okey, you make hair cut, 2 o’clok, okey? Name? Okey, you spell. Me give nice price!” 99. The other four exchanged words, their dialogue soft and rapid in Korean: 100. “머리 너무 짧게 잘랐어, 어제 고객 불만 있었잖아.” 101. “오늘 예약 많아. 피곤해 죽겠다.” 102. “이거 좀 봐, 색 너무 예쁘지 않아?” 103. “점심 뭐 먹을 거야?” 104. Benjamin eyed each woman closely, taking it all in. 105. Samantha knelt beside him, whispering encouragement. 106. Linda smiled at him, gently stroking his hair. 107. “You’ll look so handsome,” Samantha reassured. 108. Benjamin felt a little nervous, clutching his backpack. 109. The women’s laughter and chatter filled the room like music. 110. One of the women, Mi-sun Park, motioned Benjamin over with a gentle hand. 111. He shuffled toward her, uncertain but obedient. 112. Mi-sun leaned down, her mint nails glinting. 113. She began, “You wan hair cut, yes? Me give you good look, very nice!” 114. Benjamin hesitated. 115. “Cut… hair… please,” he managed, not knowing many words. 116. Mi-sun smiled, “Good boy, sit here. You litle, me make you cute.” 117. She wrapped a soft quilted cape around his shoulders. 118. The smell of mint shampoo wafted up, comforting. 119. Benjamin’s head felt heavy, his eyelids drooping. 120. The gentle sound of scissors snipping was soothing. 121. The light faded as Benjamin drifted off in the chair. 122. He became aware of a strange, floating sensation. 123. Opening his eyes, he discovered he was standing—but his body remained seated in the barber chair. 124. In shock, he looked at his arms and legs. 125. They were transparent, wisps of swirling mist. 126. Benjamin panicked, wanting to cry out, but no sound came. 127. He looked back at the five Korean women. 128. Mi-sun was bent over, trimming his body’s hair with silver scissors. 129. Eun-sook chatted with another customer, comb in hand. 130. Soo-jin wiped the mirrors, her crimson nails flashing. 131. Hye-jin swept the floor, yellow sandals tapping gently. 132. Ji-yeon remained on her phone, twirling her lavender-tipped hair and watching a short Korean video on her screen. 133. Benjamin crept closer to Mi-sun, his form flickering in the light. 134. A chilly draft swirled around him every time he neared one of the women. 135. The cold gusts sent ripples through his transparent figure. 136. Curiosity overtook his fear as Benjamin approached Mi-sun yet again. 137. Mi-sun’s hands worked quickly, handling scissors and comb with practiced ease. 138. She turned to Ji-yeon, speaking quickly in Korean: 139. “이 아이 머리 너무 잘 자르기 쉬워.” 140. Benjamin lingered nearby, staring at his ghostly hands. 141. He stretched his arm, passing through the air like smoke. 142. He noticed Mi-sun’s mint painted nails and the jade bracelet glinting as she cut. 143. The women continued their chatter, oblivious to the strange presence among them. 144. Benjamin felt himself pulled by an invisible force. 145. Mi-sun unknowingly aligned herself with Benjamin’s form. 146. A sudden pulling sensation swept through his being. 147. Warmth flooded him, and he felt whole once again. 148. Benjamin glanced down, astonished. 149. His limbs were solid, but different—slender and feminine. 150. He tugged at the mint green blouse and skirt, feeling oddly comforted. 151. Panic crept as he noticed his hands, dainty, nails painted mint. 152. He avoided looking at his feet at first, anxiety mounting. 153. He finally stared down, finding mint green sandals buckled over small, delicate feet. 154. Terror mingled with confusion. 155. He searched for his reflection in the mirror. 156. Looking up, he noticed blue eyes glaring back from Mi-sun’s face. 157. However, the eyes were almond-shaped, not round and wide. 158. Benjamin began to panic, “아아아…!” 159. He covered his mouth with his hand. 160. In a slow, desperate murmur, he choked out, “완다이…” 161. The word echoed faintly, a broken Korean phrase sounding strange. 162. He grew frustrated and sad, unable to form other words. 163. He glared at the mirror again. 164. Slowly, the almond-shaped blue eyes shifted, browning at the edges. 165. Memories ebbed away; Benjamin struggled to hold onto them. 166. As the change completed, only knowledge of being a woman remained. 167. She sat in the nearby chair, crossing slender legs, adjusting the skirt. 168. She pointed to the young boy, fast asleep in the barber chair. 169. With a sudden laugh, she declared in Korean: 170. “저 아이 잠들었어, 너무 귀엽지 않아?” 171. Nobody noticed the transformation; conversation continued. 172. She giggled, forgetting that was once her own body. 173. Her thoughts filled with new-old memories: working at the salon, her coworkers, her life. 174. She stood up, brushing off invisible crumbs from her skirt. 175. She picked up the broom, beginning to sweep the floor with brisk, efficient strokes. 176. The air buzzed with laughter and snipped hair. 177. Mirrors reflected her new form, the mint green ensemble neat and professional. 178. Sweeping, she heard the continued chatter between the four women. 179. The language was familiar and comfortable in her ears. 180. Mi-sun felt at home, her worries fading. 181. She drifted toward the front windows to tidy the entry mats. 182. The boy—her old self—remained in the chair, deeply asleep. 183. Samantha and Linda spoke quietly, absorbing the salon’s hustle. 184. Ji-yeon hung up the phone, tapping a message quickly. 185. Hye-jin finished sweeping, stacking up chairs for closing time. 186. Soo-jin noticed Mi-sun and joked in Korean: 187. “오늘 왜 이렇게 정신 없어? 계속 청소만 하고 있네.” 188. Mi-sun just smiled, shrugging and glancing at the clock. 189. Time passed quickly, and the salon filled and emptied with customers. 190. Benjamin—now Mi-sun—faded comfortably into the day’s rhythm. 191. Though a trace of strangeness lingered, it was masked by layers of new life. 192. Eventually, Samantha walked over to the chair, gently shaking her son. 193. Benjamin stirred, blinking as if waking from the deepest sleep. 194. He looked around, disoriented. 195. Mi-sun finished sweeping and returned behind the counter. 196. “머리 다 잘랐어요, 예쁘죠?” 197. Samantha smiled, admiring Benjamin’s fresh haircut. 198. Linda fished a treat from her purse, handing it to Benjamin. 199. He munched quietly, eyes sleepy but content. 200. “Say thank you,” Samantha prompted. 201. Benjamin waved at Mi-sun, still confused by lingering feelings. 202. The women bowed, smiling as Benjamin and his family headed out. 203. Mi-sun stood by the window, watching them leave. 204. She wondered, just briefly, if there was a deeper connection to the boy. 205. The memory shimmered and faded, replaced by the routine of her life. 206. The door closed behind Benjamin, Samantha, and Linda. 207. Ji-yeon switched off the salon’s sign, preparing for closing. 208. The five women gathered to clean up and rearrange chairs. 209. Their jewelry caught the evening sun, throwing rainbow sparks on the walls. 210. Mi-sun’s mint nails glimmered as she wiped down the counter. 211. Soo-jin carried towels back to the wash room, humming. 212. Hye-jin stacked products neatly, organizing for tomorrow. 213. Eun-sook tallied appointments on a clipboard, jotting in neat Korean script. 214. Another busy day had drawn to a close. 215. Outside, the city glowed in the golden twilight, cars passing quietly by. 216. Benjamin’s family paused for ice cream, his mom and grandma cherishing his new haircut. 217. The three laughed, sharing stories, their lives braided together through generations. 218. Inside Mi-sun, remnants of Benjamin’s personality flickered at odd moments. 219. She frowned, sometimes puzzled by fleeting childlike impulses. 220. But every time she swept hair from the floor, the world felt orderly and sensible. 221. The salon door buzzed as the last customer exited. 222. Music played softly on the radio, blending with distant street noises. 223. Mi-sun and her colleagues gathered around tea, relaxing at a small table. 224. They shared stories, laughter, and plans for the next day. 225. Jewelry clinked between them, each piece reflecting a sliver of their lives. 226. Mi-sun’s mint green accessories marked her as cheerful and polished. 227. The others admired each other’s manicures, trading beauty tips. 228. For a moment, Mi-sun glanced into the mirror. 229. Her brown eyes considered their own reflection—calm, centered. 230. She smiled, accepting herself as she was now. 231. Night fell, the salon locked tight, lights flickering out one by one. 232. The five women departed into the quiet streets, shoes clicking gently over stone. 233. Benjamin, now home, drifted off to sleep, clutching his dinosaur shirt. 234. His dreams were filled with snippets of hair, mint green light, and gentle laughter. 235. Somewhere in the city, two lives passed each other in memory, never touching again. 236. The salon shimmered under lamplight, ready to open again tomorrow. 237. Mi-sun slept, content, the strangeness of the day forgotten. 238. Benjamin’s family nestled together, safe and loved. 239. In the world, small miracles moved unseen, passing between people in curious ways. 240. And so the story ends—for now—where transformations linger, quietly hidden in daily life.
