The trio walked up the stone path, shuffling into the salon. 32. Hannah greeted the ladies with a polite wave, while Susan smiled quietly. 33. Jacob stood between them, clutching a toy car. 34. Hannah checked in at the desk, giving the receptionist Jacob’s name and their appointment time. 35. Susan patted Jacob’s head and told him to “be brave,” with a sweet chuckle. 36. Jacob was soon left in the waiting area, as his mom and grandma stepped out to run a quick errand. 37. The salon was bustling with activity; five Korean women worked inside. 38.

Ms. Lee was cleaning the mirrors with lavender glass spray and a cloth. 83. Ms. Lim sat at the front desk, phone pressed to her ear. 84. Ms. Lim spoke into the receiver, smiling awkwardly as she booked an appointment: “Yes, hello, you wan’ cut—umm, har? What tim? You come tomolloh, yes? Ok, we do perm. You brin’ friend?” 85. The other four women chatted amongst themselves in fast Korean, as Mrs. Park called to Mrs. Kim: “오늘 머리 스타일 어떻게 할 거야?” 86. Mrs. Kim replied, continuing to snip a customer’s hair: “나는 좀 짧게 잘랐으면 좋겠어요.” 87. Ms. Lee added from her spot at the mirror: “여기 거울 너무 더럽다, 먼지가 계속 있어.” 88. Mrs. Choi, sweeping, commented: “새로운 손님 오는 것 같아.” 89. Jacob watched in amazement, absorbing all the sounds and sights. 90. He perched gently on a small waiting chair next to the nearest mirror. 91. Mrs. Choi finished sweeping by the entrance and walked over to him, smiling. 92. She motioned for Jacob to come over, gesturing kindly and speaking gently: “You come sit, yes? We make har look nice. You want look cool?” 93. Jacob looked up wide-eyed, replying haltingly: “I—um—short hair? No cut ears?” 94. Mrs. Choi laughed, adjusting the quilted salon cape over him. 95. She gently tucked the edges around his small shoulders. 96. The gentle motion made Jacob relax, feeling a warm, sleepy sensation. 97. As Mrs. Choi began to spray water on his hair, Jacob’s heavy eyelids fluttered. 98. His eyes closed, and the sounds of the salon turned sleepy and muffled. 99. Suddenly, Jacob felt as if he was floating. 100. He opened his eyes, confused, only to see he was standing next to the chair—yet his body was still seated, getting a haircut. 101. He looked down at himself, in shock, realizing that he was mostly transparent. 102. He waved his hand in front of his face, seeing faint whorls and shimmering. 103. In this see-through form, he carefully observed the five women at work. 104. Mrs. Choi was snipping his hair, animatedly talking to the others: “오늘 이 아이 머리가 너무 귀여워요.” 105. Nearby, Mrs. Park was tending to a woman's curls with steady hands. 106. Mrs. Kim was trimming and curling a teen’s hair with skill. 107. Ms. Lee sprayed and wiped mirrors with methodical precision. 108. Ms. Lim hunched at the desk, watching a lively Korean drama on her phone. 109. Every time Jacob walked near one of the women, he felt a chilly draft—almost a cold wind—swirling through his see-through body. 110. He tried to talk, but no sound came out. 111. He drifted to Mrs. Choi, who was now reaching for gleaming silver scissors. 112. She chatted fast, all in Korean: “이 머리카락 너무 부드럽다.” 113. Mrs. Park replied with a giggle: “아이들이 머리 자를 때 귀여워.” 114. Jacob watched, still amazed by the scissor’s glint. 115. He drifted next to Mrs. Choi, gazing at the fine comb in her hand. 116. He moved to Mrs. Choi’s right, staring at the tiny hair clip set on the table. 117. Then, curiosity led him to Mrs. Choi, sweeping near the main booth. 118. He floated behind her, feeling another icy draft. 119. Suddenly, Mrs. Choi stepped backward, lining up her body precisely with Jacob’s transparent form. 120. Jacob felt a pulling, stretching sensation—his vision tunneled—and then everything went silent. 121. When he opened his eyes, the world felt strangely sharper, his perspective higher. 122. He was standing up, still in the same spot—behind the woman sweeping—only something felt odd. 123. Jacob gazed down: he was in Mrs. Choi’s shoes, clutching a broom in one hand and a dustpan in the other. 124. He yelped, frightened, feeling disoriented and unfamiliar in this new body. 125. A mirror stood next to him, and Jacob shuffled to look. 126. He stared at the reflection: short pixie cut, lavender blouse, soft almond eyes. 127. He made faces—pouting, smiling, stretching his cheeks—to test if the reflection matched his actions. 128. The reflection copied him perfectly. 129. He blinked, then stuck out his tongue. 130. The face stared back, same tongue poking out. 131. He pulled at one ear—it wiggled. 132. Jacob wiggled his fingers, studying the lavender nails, and wiggled his toes in the lavender platform sandals. 133. He bent down, gagging a little, as he saw the color of the nail polish gleaming on his fingers and toes. 134. Sweat trickled down his new forehead. 135. Jacob tried speaking in English. It came out strange, clumsy: “Wh-where I is? How—I… broom, why…” 136. Mrs. Park, moving quickly, took sharp steps and playfully kicked her friend's foot. 137. Jacob, startled, lost his balance in the platform sandals, stumbling backward. 138. Mrs. Park laughed, covering her mouth, and said to Mrs. Choi, thinking he was her friend: “너 또 넘어졌네, 발목 조심!” 139. Ms. Lee called across the salon to Jacob, not recognizing the change: “여기 좀 도와줘, 쓰레기 많아.” 140. Mrs. Kim, styling hair, added: “오늘 끝나고 같이 저녁 먹으러 갈까?” 141. Ms. Lim chimed in from the desk, watching her phone: “내 드라마 끝나면 체크아웃 부탁해.” 142. Jacob could not understand anything—no word made sense. 143. He saw his actual body, limp, slouched in the far chair without a spark in its eyes. 144. Jacob felt panic—a boy’s mind in a woman’s frame, among strangers chatting away. 145. Walking proved difficult: the heavy sandals kept tripping him up. 146. Jacob tried to step, but wobbled, stumbling with each movement. 147. He gripped the broom, forcing each foot off the ground and back down—awkward, careful, testing the feeling. 148. He bent down to touch a sandal, breathing fast, staring at the painted nails and jewelry sparkling against his skin. 149. Lavender nail polish gleamed on both fingers and toes. 150. He flexed the fingers—slender and precise. 151. He turned both wrists, studying the charm bracelet on one, and delicate rings on the other. 152. Jacob ran his hands over the blouse—the soft lavender fabric, embroidered collar, and crystal brooch pinned to his chest. 153. The blouse was short-sleeved, cool, gently hugging his petite shoulders. 154. White linen shorts pressed against his skin, soft and clean, with a well-stitched hem. 155. The sandals felt oddly solid beneath him—thick lavender straps, bedazzled with tiny crystal studs. 156. The soles were tall, giving him extra height, making each step tricky. 157. He bent awkwardly, peeking under the skirt to see his nimble ankles and the silver anklet glinting in the light. 158. Jacob reached up, fingering gleaming teardrop earrings dangling beside his face. 159. He explored past the lavender blouse, reaching for the pearl necklace resting against his upper chest. 160. Every movement felt strange—soft wrists, smooth arms, gentle weight. 161. Jacob tried stepping, his body moving with elegant, unfamiliar sway. 162. He turned to the mirror, sticking his tongue out, smiling, making different faces. 163. He tapped his cheek, flared his nostrils, puffed his cheeks. 164. Still, the reflection copied him perfectly—he was in full control. 165. Speaking was difficult—broken English spilled out, halting and odd: “Me… me move. Me—um—feet hard. Me broom now?” 166. Mrs. Kim walked up, her sandals clacking against the tile. 167. She kicked Mrs. Choi’s platform sandal playfully, causing Jacob to lose balance. 168. Jacob stumbled, nearly falling, as Mrs. Kim laughed with a shout in Korean: “왜 이렇게 잘 넘어져? 오늘도?” 169. The other stylists joined in, speaking rapid Korean: “밥 먹으러 갈까?” “오늘은 일찍 끝내자.” “가게 잘 청소해야 해.” “여기 머리카락 더 치워야지.” 170. Jacob had no idea what their words meant, lost in the sound. 171. They surrounded him, speaking, thinking he was their friend, Mrs. Choi. 172. Jacob tried to walk, but kept tripping—platform sandals were heavy and awkward. 173. Each step made him anxious, unfamiliar with the new body’s balance. 174. At the end of the salon day, customers left, lights dimmed, the city began to glow outside. 175. Mrs. Park turned to Jacob (now in Mrs. Choi’s body), speaking quickly in Korean: “집에 가자! 저녁 준비해야지.” 176. Jacob watched as the women tidied up, gathered their purses and sprayed a last mist of perfume. 177. Mrs. Park led Jacob out, her arm looped around his. 178. They crossed the parking lot to a small white car, a familiar tune playing on the radio. 179. Jacob got into the passenger seat, not understanding a word of their conversation. 180. The world outside blurred, neon lights and dark skyscrapers passing by as Mrs. Park drove. 181. Silence lingered; then Mrs. Park chatted more in Korean, fast and casual: “오늘 힘들었지? 집에서 쉬자.” 182. Jacob stared ahead, still unsure of what to say or do. 183. In the car’s gentle rocking, Mrs. Park handed over a sleek leather purse—the very one belonging to Mrs. Choi. 184. Jacob opened the purse, curiosity burning. 185. Inside, he found a compact mirror, lavender case glittering with jewels. 186. He popped it open, staring at the almond-shaped eyes of the new reflection. 187. He gently touched his eyelid, trying—and failing—to make it round, like his original eyes. 188. He pulled at his hair, smoothing and adjusting the pixie cut. 189. He pouted at the reflection, then grinned, experimenting. 190. Each movement was both familiar and strange—a boy’s mind in a woman’s body. 191. Jacob tried blinking, frowning, and smiling, unable to grasp the gentle shape of the eyes. 192. The ride home was quiet, Korean music softly playing. 193. Jacob struggled to understand—each Korean word sounded like a song, lovely yet indecipherable. 194. He fiddled with jewelry, spinning the rings and tapping the charm bracelet thoughtfully. 195. Mrs. Park kept talking, every few miles exchanging words Jacob couldn't decipher. 196. Jacob rested his head against the car window, watching city lights pass. 197. They arrived at a small apartment with a bright doorway and balcony lined with potted plants. 198. Mrs. Park unlocked the door, ushering Jacob in gently. 199. Inside, Jacob looked around: cozy couch, family photos, twinkling Christmas lights. 200. Jacob watched, now in Mrs. Choi's body, as Mrs. Park set the table for dinner. 201. Jacob tried once again speaking: “Me… help? What me do?” 202. Mrs. Park misunderstood, answering in Korean and handing over a serving spoon: “이거 좀 저어줘.” 203. Jacob stirred the soup awkwardly, watching his new hands move with surprising coordination. 204. He glanced toward the kitchen clock—time was passing strangely. 205. The evening continued, filled with gentle laughter and melodic Korean words. 206. Jacob sat down to dinner—a new world of flavors and spices, more unfamiliar. 207. He mimicked the motions: picking up chopsticks, scooping rice, sipping soup. 208. The stylists—now his friends?—chatted warmly, not noticing anything strange about him. 209. Jacob kept touching his new hair, poking at the pixie cut, and studying his reflection in glass surfaces. 210. Dinner ended; dishes cleared, lights dimmed. 211. Jacob found himself shuffling into a small room, lavender slippers waiting. 212. He eased into bed, anxiety mixing with curiosity. 213. Sleep came slowly, filled with dreams of mirrors, scissors, and shimmering light. 214. He awoke early, the apartment filled with soft morning sun. 215. The stylists gathered for coffee, discussing the day's schedule in rapid Korean. 216. Jacob dressed, picking out a new blouse and skirt—mint green, delicate lace, shimmering jewelry. 217. He tried brushing his hair, gently taming the pixie cut with a slow, careful hand. 218. The day rolled along: returning to the salon, laughing with stylists, helping sweep, all in Mrs. Choi’s unfamiliar body. 219. Jacob's English and memories faded into broken thoughts, replaced by new routines and gestures. 220. Each day, he watched his old body in the chair—empty, stuck—worry seeping through his heart. 221. Still, in Mrs. Choi’s frame, he painted nails, sorted jewelry, and wore platform sandals, learning by imitation. 222. Mirrors filled his days—with every reflection, he squinted, searching for traces of the boy he once was. 223. He waited for his mom and grandma, hoping they would find him, but afraid to be seen in a new face. 224. Korean words buzzed around him—lovely, confusing, never quite making sense. 225. Jacob kept practicing, walking more steadily, learning the weight and balance of Mrs. Choi’s body. 226. Each day ended with dinner, laughter, and the gentle rhythm of city lights. 227. Jacob wondered if he would ever return to his own small frame, to blue eyes and bowl-cut hair. 228. Sometimes, he’d cry quietly, hiding lavender-stained tears. 229. Sometimes, he’d laugh, swept up in the warmth of his new salon family. 230. All the while, the girl Jacob now appeared as kept learning, adapting, hoping for his old self. 231. Time spun on; Jacob’s journey had changed him—inside and out. 232. He waited, listened, and dreamed, longing for the day he’d wake up in his real body again. 233. In the meantime, Jacob lived each day as best he could, a boy hidden in a world of color, language, and laughter. 234. And always, mirrors—everywhere—showed him a new face, a new story, waiting to be written. 235. Until the day a gentle hand reached for the original Jacob’s chair, and the world shimmered, ready for something new. 236. In that moment, the magic of hope and change lit up Jacob’s heart. 237. The boy inside Mrs. Choi’s body smiled—one more day in a world that wasn’t quite his, but was his to explore. 238. Against all odds, he had learned to walk, speak, laugh, and love where he’d been put. 239. Jacob—the boy, the girl, the child in-between—grew a little taller inside, ready to find his way home. 240. And in every mirror he passed, he saw not just Mrs. Choi or Jacob, but the story of all the selves he’d ever been.
