The blouse has delicate embroidery down the front and pearl buttons at each wrist. 45. She matches it with khaki tailored shorts that reach just above her knees. 46. Sun-hee wears platform sandals with thick, 5-inch cork soles. 47. The sandals have rose gold straps and a small bow near the ankle. 48. Her nails are painted a bold, glittery emerald green. 49. Sun-hee is adorned with eight pieces of jewelry: 50. 1. A platinum wedding ring with a single diamond. 51. 2. Two chunky jade bangles on her left wrist. 52. 3. A delicate gold chain with a coral pendant. 53. 4. Three small silver hoop earrings in her right ear. 54. 5. A pearl stud in her left ear. 55. 6. A mother-of-pearl brooch on her blouse. 56. 7. A thin anklet with an evil eye charm. 57. 8. A gold ring with a red stone on her middle finger. 58. Minji is dressed simply in a pale peach sundress. 59. She flutters through the aisles in plain white flip-flops. 60. Sun-hee and Minji begin to argue in the snack aisle. 61. "Sun-hee: Why you always talking like this? I am your mother!" 62. "Minji: Mom, I’m just saying, maybe buy smaller rice bags next time. You can’t even carry it." 63. "Sun-hee: Phssh, I carry every time. You think I not strong?" 64. "Minji: I didn’t say you aren’t strong. I just don’t want to do all the lifting." 65. "Sun-hee: Minji, you do not help, you just boss!" 66. "Minji: I’m not bossing, I’m just being practical." 67. "Sun-hee: Practical, schmatical. You just like American, not Korean!" 68. "Minji: Oh my god, mom. Here we go again." 69. "Sun-hee: You go again, not me! Why you say like this?" 70. "Minji: Because you don’t listen!" 71. "Sun-hee: You never listen to me for yearsss." 72. "Minji: It’s not true, mom. I do listen, but you only argue!" 73. "Sun-hee: I wish you can understend how I feel someteems." 74. "Minji: I understand but you never try to meet me halfway!" 75. "Sun-hee: Halfway? Always you halfway, never me halfway." 76. "Minji: Mom, please, keep your voice down." 77. "Sun-hee: I no keep voice down! You stop boss!" 78. "Minji: Whatever, mom." 79. "Sun-hee: Leave me alone! I am mom! You go!" 80. Sun-hee storms off, fuming, and begins browsing a shelf full of baking supplies. 81. She spots a bag of imported rice up on the top shelf and stands on her toes. 82. Sun-hee can’t reach, even as she stretches her fingers. 83. At the exact same moment, Oliver squeezes his eyes shut and whispers, "I wish I were home." 84. Both wishes echo quietly in the busy aisle. 85. Suddenly, something strange happens—Oliver’s vision goes completely black. 86. Time seems to halt and swirl around him. 87. No sound—no colors—just endless darkness. 88. Oliver opens his eyes again, now confused, and realizes he’s teetering on tiptoe. 89. He almost loses his balance, wobbling precariously. 90. He tries to step down, but he feels distinctly taller. 91. A gasp escapes, strange and unfamiliar—a woman's voice, older and accented. 92. He stares wildly at the aisle: shelves of rice, Korean snacks, bottles of cooking wine. 93. He looks down, expecting his tiny body and cartoon t-shirt, but... 94. There’s a silky blue blouse hugging his arms and chest. 95. Tan shorts swish against thighs that aren’t his. 96. He sees a coral pendant hanging—a gold chain around an unfamiliar neck. 97. His wrists bear jade bangles. 98. His fingers are longer, nails glossy emerald green. 99. A platinum wedding ring presses into his skin. 100. A thin gold anklet glints at his ankle. 101. His ears have multiple earrings—silver hoops, pearl studs. 102. A mother-of-pearl brooch nestles at the blouse’s collar. 103. He feels a chunky gold ring with a red stone on his finger. 104. The sandals below him feel strange and huge. 105. He notices the evil eye charm on the ankle bracelet. 106. There’s a whiff of expensive perfume—jasmine and patchouli. 107. Oliver is wearing platform sandals—rose gold straps, dizzily tall cork soles. 108. His legs are slim, lightly tanned, with fine hair that doesn’t belong to him. 109. His body feels cramped and alien, clothes clinging too tightly. 110. His chest is flat, not the soft belly of a child. 111. He’s weighed down with jewelry—a grown-up’s touch. 112. He finally dares to look down. 113. His feet feel heavy, his toes squeezed into the sandals. 114. The platform soles tower at least 5 inches tall, cork and gold gleaming. 115. Oliver's eyes widen in shock. 116. He gingerly lifts one foot, the sandal dangling awkwardly. 117. He bends down, fingers clumsy, touching the thick cork to convince himself it’s real. 118. He tries desperately to yank them off, but the straps are tight. 119. Panic flooding, he cries out, "Mommy! Grandmaaa! Why am I so tall? Wut am I wearing? Why do deese shoes so big and weird!?" 120. The words tumble out—garbled, broken English, sounding nothing like himself. 121. Oliver slaps a hand over his mouth, stifling a sob. 122. He glances down at his new feet. 123. He wiggles his toes, feeling the too-high arch, the pressure of the sole raising him up. 124. The sensation is odd—a blend of pain and power, unfamiliar. 125. Oliver starts to walk, staring downward, almost tripping with each unsteady step. 126. He looks up, catching his reflection in a shiny freezer door. 127. Instantly, his heart skips—his eyes have changed, narrower, angled differently. 128. The brows are darker, more pronounced. 129. Oliver’s pupils are deep and brown, unlike his old blue ones. 130. He sees a shelf nearby full of candies—a bag of Twix, his favorite treat. 131. He grabs a Twix, crinkling the wrapper. 132. He tries to say "Twix," but it comes out, "Twik-suh." 133. He stops, dismayed, realizing he now struggles with a simple word. 134. He clamps his hand over his mouth, tears pricking at his eyes. 135. He mumbles, "Why I look like girl…why I look old…whu-why…" 136. The words stumble out, "Why I look like gurrl an why look ol–olll...?" 137. Oliver's accent is thick; he drops the S at the end, sounding unlike himself. 138. Minji glances over, hearing strange noises, but shakes her head. 139. She mutters, "Mom's just being herself again, acting crazy," unconvinced by Sun-hee’s odd behavior. 140. Minji tries speaking Korean, but Oliver (in Sun-hee’s body) doesn’t understand the language. 141. Oliver tries to protest, "I want my old shoe bak, deese thing I wearing look so girly, my eye is so weird now…I wanna play wit my toy…" 142. The words are broken, childlike, the accent making even toy sound foreign. 143. Minji looks back and notices her mom (Oliver) standing rigid, not moving. 144. She rolls her eyes, mutters under her breath, and heads for the entrance. 145. Oliver, confused and lost, stumbles after her, clutching the Twix and feeling his sandals drag. 146. They make their way to a blue sedan parked out front. 147. Oliver, not knowing what to do, awkwardly walks to the passenger side. 148. Minji sternly says, "Mom, what are you doing? Why are you walking to that side? Get in this door," gesturing to the driver’s seat. 149. Oliver freezes, terrified—he’s never driven before. 150. The thick-soled sandals make his steps awkward, almost impossible. 151. He slides into the driver’s seat, hands trembling, feet barely reaching the pedals. 152. The platform sandals keep slipping; he can’t feel the gas pedal correctly. 153. Minji gets in, slamming her own door. 154. "Seriously, mom, you’re making me crazy today." 155. Oliver puts the car in gear, hands sweaty on the steering wheel. 156. His driving is clumsy—the car jerks and he winces at every turn. 157. Minji grows increasingly angry. "Mom, I know you're 62, but you act like you're 102!" 158. Oliver’s breath hitches; he fights down the urge to cry. 159. Minji says, "Pull over at the coffee shop, I want a bubble tea." 160. Oliver mumbles, stumbling with the word, "Buh-bull teauh," in his thick accent. 161. Minji laughs dryly. "Yes, there's the mom I know, correcting me like you’ve done for the last 35 years." 162. They pull into a small bubble tea shop, neon signs flickering. 163. Minji turns to Sun-hee (Oliver), frustration softening. "Why don’t I drive us home? You’re being extra annoying today…but I still love you, Mom, and like you always used to say in Korean, 사랑해 (“Saranghae”)." 164. Oliver slumps in the passenger seat, exhausted. 165. He closes his eyes, and for one blissful moment, he’s himself again. 166. He’s Oliver, small, happy, surrounded by his toys—dinosaurs and blocks. 167. He squeals with excitement and races towards the kitchen. 168. Jessica beams at him, pouring cereal. 169. She begins to shout with growing urgency, "Mom! Wake up! Mom! Wake up! Mom! Wake up!" 170. Her voice echoes, growing louder and louder. 171. Oliver is jerked awake, Minji shaking him (Sun-hee’s body) gently, trying to rouse her mother. 172. Oliver realizes it was just a dream; he’s still in Sun-hee’s body, frightened and lost. 173. They arrive at Sun-hee’s cozy home, a tidy suburban bungalow with potted lilies lining the porch. 174. Oliver goes inside, searching desperately for anything familiar. 175. He opens the fridge—all Korean food: kimchi, gochujang, pickled vegetables, bottles of barley tea. 176. He looks at the photos on the wall—strange faces, no one he knows. 177. He wanders into the master bedroom; all the clothes are short-sleeve blouses, brightly colored dresses, tailored shorts, and a rainbow of skirts. 178. Oliver checks the shoe rack—nothing but high-platform sandals, wedges, and cork-soled shoes. 179. There are no sneakers or loafers, nothing that feels like his own. 180. He grows more and more frustrated, bursting into tears. 181. On the kitchen table is a mysterious note, addressed in perfect English to "Oliver Carter." 182. His hands shake as he opens it. 183. The note reads: "Dear Oliver: By the time you read this, you are me. This swap was my idea, my wish. You did not respect Asian people, or Korean culture. Now, you must live as Sun-hee, forever. You can never go back. From now, your life is mine. —Sun-hee Kim." 184. Oliver’s hands tremble; the swap is permanent. 185. Heart pounding, he seizes Sun-hee’s phone, scrolling frantically. 186. On TikTok, a strange video appears. The caption reads: “If you pronounce these 30 American words properly in a perfect American accent you get one free wish. The words get progressively harder and you have unlimited tries to pronounce the words. When you pronounce the word correctly the shape moving in the video will be able to move forward through the hole. Are you ready? Press start to begin.” 187. Oliver gulps and presses start. 188. The first word flashes on screen: "Apple." 189. He tries: "Apaal," the accent thick, the shape on the screen barely moves. 190. He tries again: "a-pull." 191. Finally, "Apple," and the shape scoots forward. 192. The second word: "Banana." 193. "Bah-nahna," he tries. 194. "Ba-nannah," the accent won’t let go. 195. He tries, “banana!” and barely passes. 196. The third word: "Chair." 197. "Cher," he slurs. 198. "Chayr," he tries. 199. Finally, "Chair," and moves forward. 200. Fourth word: "Orange." 201. "Oran-guh." 202. "Ohran-je." 203. "Orange," finally correct. 204. Fifth word: "Table." 205. "Tay-bluh." 206. "Tabl." 207. "Table," barely gets the screen working. 208. Sixth word: "Water." 209. "Wotta." 210. "Wadder." 211. "Water," barely correct. 212. Seventh word: "Window." 213. "Weendo." 214. "Wind-do." 215. "Window." 216. Eighth word: "Playground." 217. "Pley-grond." 218. "Pleh-ground." 219. "Playground." 220. Ninth word: "School." 221. "Scool." 222. "Skooluh." 223. "School." 224. Tenth word: "Chocolate." 225. "Choco-late." 226. "Chaw-ko-lut." 227. "Chocolate." 228. Eleventh word: "Elephant." 229. "Elphaant." 230. "El-e-fant." 231. "Elephant." 232. Twelfth word: "Computer." 233. "Com-pew-tuh." 234. "Compyooter." 235. "Computer." 236. Thirteenth word: "Library." 237. "Lie-brarry." 238. "Lib-ruary." 239. "Library." 240. He gives up at fifteen, sighing, feeling hopeless. --- If you want the next section—the Korean daughter returns home and calls out, the note about memories, the further transformation, etc.—just ask and I will continue seamlessly in precisely formatted sentences.
