1. In the year 2021, there lived a little boy named Tommy. 2. Tommy was 8 years old. 3. He was four feet tall and weighed 65 pounds. 4. Tommy’s birthday was on June 15, 2013. 5. He was born in the state of California. 6. Tommy had short, tousled, brown hair and bright, blue eyes. 7. Tommy’s mom, Sarah, was 35 years old. 8. Sarah stood at five feet six inches. 9. She weighed 140 pounds. 10. Her birthday was on October 7, 1986. 11. She had shoulder-length, wavy auburn hair and green eyes. 12. Tommy’s aunt, Jessica, was 30 years old. 13. Jessica was five feet four inches tall. 14. She weighed 130 pounds. 15. Her birthday was on April 20, 1991. 16. Jessica had curly, black hair and brown eyes. 17. Tommy’s grandma, Linda, was 62 years old. 18. Linda stood at five feet three inches. 19. She weighed 150 pounds. 20. Her birthday was on February 19, 1959. 21. Linda had straight silver hair and hazel eyes. 22. Tommy’s grandpa, Robert, was 60 years old. 23. Robert was taller than Linda at five feet nine inches. 24. He weighed 180 pounds. 25. His birthday was on June 30, 1961. 26. One sunny day, Tommy decided to walk to the salon alone for the first time. 27. He was nervous yet excited about his adventure. 28. As he entered the salon, he saw a Korean woman at the counter. 29. The woman had a Korean-style pixie cut. 30. She was wearing a blazer, a blouse, and platform sandals. 31. Her nails were painted bright red. 32. She had a wedding ring on her finger and jewelry all over her body. 33. The jewelry consisted of dangling earrings, layered necklaces, and bangles. 34. The woman’s name was Min-Ji. 35. Min-Ji was 62 years old, just like Tommy’s grandma. 36. She was five feet two inches tall and weighed 125 pounds. 37. Her birthday was on April 5, 1959. 38. Min-Ji had dark brown hair and piercing black eyes. 39. She smiled at Tommy and said, “You wait here. I go get something.” 40. Her English was broken and accented, “Wait for me to come back.” 41. Tommy nodded and sat down, slipping off his shoes and socks. 42. He felt the cold floor beneath his feet as he walked around the barber chair. 43. Suddenly, Tommy felt the urge to go to the bathroom. 44. He innocently yelled out, “I gots ta potty!” 45. Thinking the hallway led to the bathroom, Tommy walked with his head up. 46. He tripped over something, losing his balance. 47. Looking down, he realized he had accidentally tripped over Min-Ji’s platform sandals. 48. He managed to slip them on by accident. 49. As Tommy tried to remove them, his clothing evaporated and disappeared. 50. Tommy was scared as he tried to pull the platform sandals off. 51. His feet started cracking and aging into female feet with red nail polish. 52. He frantically pulled at the platform sandals, trying to stop the changes. 53. The changes crept up his legs, morphing his body. 54. He finally removed the platform sandals, but the changes did not stop. 55. “I’m gonna miss Mommy and Grandma so much! I didn’t do anything wrong! I just had to potty!” Tommy said in perfect little boy English. 56. Somehow, Tommy realized in his heart that he was older than his grandma and much older than his mom and aunt. 57. He began to cry, feeling scared and alone. 58. To calm himself down, Tommy started singing a song his mom always taught him. 59. As he continued singing, his body morphed and matured into a woman’s. 60. An identical outfit to Min-Ji’s formed on him. 61. He looked exactly like Min-Ji, minus the jewelry, wedding ring, and platform sandals. 62. Tommy’s memories began to alter as his voice and accent changed into a Korean one. 63. He continued singing to calm himself as the song switched from English, “Twinkle, twinkle little star…” to Korean, “…반짝반짝 작은 별 (Banjjak banjjak jag-eun byeol).” 64. As his memories altered completely, his innocent song turned into a traditional Korean song, “How I wonder what you are,” to “아름다운 그대 (Aleumdaun geudae), 아름다운 밤 (Aleumdaun bam).” – which translates to “Beautiful you, beautiful night.” 65. Min-Ji, now smiling, finished singing. 66. She looked down at her outfit, spotting her jewelry and wedding ring. 67. Strutting over to where her jewelry was, she began adding it all to her outfit. 68. She put on her dangling earrings, fastening them one by one. 69. Next, she layered her necklaces, each one sitting perfectly on her chest. 70. She added her bangles, slipping them onto her wrists. 71. Finally, she added her wedding ring, sliding it onto her finger with love. 72. Min-Ji then picked up her platform sandals and walked to a nearby chair. 73. Sitting down, she slipped one of the platform sandals onto her foot. 74. She adjusted the sandal straps to fit her feet comfortably. 75. She then slipped the other platform sandal on, adjusting it the same way. 76. Min-Ji stood up and adjusted her blazer and blouse. 77. She walked around the salon, her platform sandals making soft sounds on the floor. 78. She wondered aloud, “Where handsome young man go?” in very broken English. 79. “Me so short, no make much taller,” she said, looking down at her platform sandals. 80. She glanced at her wedding ring, mentioning, “Me love husband and kids. Love my salon.” 81. She started singing another Korean song, continuing to clean up the salon, “사랑해요 (Saranghaeyo), 당신을 사랑해 (Dangsin-eul salanghae),” which translates to "I love you, I love you.” 82. Min-Ji finished tidying up and locked up the salon for the night. 83. She walked home, feeling very aware of how vulnerable she was. 84. Her mind fully embraced her new identity, memories, and responsibilities. 85. She stepped carefully, aware of the platform sandals under her feet. 86. Thoughts of her loving family filled her with warmth and comfort. 87. Her walk was graceful, each step filled with confidence. 88. She hummed softly, a melody from her homeland deep in her heart. 89. The night air was cool, but Min-Ji felt a sense of peace. 90. The transformation had settled completely, her past life a distant dream. 91. She unlocked her door and entered her cozy home. 92. The lights were dimmed, and pictures of her family adorned the walls. 93. She prepared for bed, removing her jewelry piece by piece. 94. Carefully, she placed them in a jewelry box on her dresser. 95. Min-Ji removed her platform sandals, setting them neatly by the door. 96. She changed into more comfortable clothing, ready to rest after a long day. 97. Her thoughts drifted to the young boy who had come to the salon earlier. 98. The encounter felt like a lifetime ago, almost like a story she had read. 99. Settling into bed, Min-Ji whispered a prayer, thankful for her life. 100. As she closed her eyes, she drifted off to sleep, her dreams filled with the faces of those she loved.
