“What is this?” a man shouted in terror as he found himself with his arms and legs pinned to a wooden cross in pitch darkness and surrounded by candlelight. only himself
“Heh heh, you have to become my victim.” A mysterious figure appeared wearing a robe and a wide-brimmed hat all in black. along with a book with a six-pointed star symbol emblazoned on the cover
“That outfit...is it a witch? And that book.”
“By the power of my words The one who has power turns day into night. Crawl into my body and show your power to the person in front of me…” The witch spread out the book and recited a verse, targeting the man currently crucified in front of her.
"Or is it that she..."
“Change!!! Mahawat Orbit"
“Ah!” The young man shouted out in pain. A light shone from his chest. Then, his body was slowly absorbed by the white light. The witches were standing and waiting with excitement to see the results.
“It worked...it worked!!!...hahaha” she shouted hysterically.
“Boom!!!!”
“Whew!!!!” The witch shouted in shock when white smoke suddenly rose from the young man's body.
“Just a little..what happened? Magic glitch?” the witch said in confusion. "Nee Nat...is something wrong?"
“Wha...what the hell are you doing, Fern?” another voice yelled back as a response.
“Oh my gosh, I thought things were going well,” she moaned with regret. “We went out of our way to find an old magic book. There is an ancient forbidden spell that makes the skin more beautiful. You put in a lot of effort into creating the atmosphere and even dressed up as a witch from the past to help.” She then took off her black witch outfit.
The body of a teenage girl appeared, her body covered in dust and smoke.
It seemed that because the force of the explosion had caused the young man's body to break free from its bound bonds, she was unable to know where he was in this dark place. Having no choice, she walked around feeling her way until she found a light switch. When the light turned on, it was revealed that this was a room in a condo that she owned.
“Nat!!! Where is Nat?” she called out, not knowing that the person she was looking for was lying down nearby.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!” She stumbled over the body of a person until she lurched slightly.
“Oh Fern, why are you kicking me again?”
“Here you are. Get up, I still have many spells I want to try out...eh.” She pulled the other person's body up. But suddenly she looked extremely shocked.
“What is it, Fern?”
“Oh, you...your face,” Fern said, stuttering in shock. She went to his face with trembling fingers.
“My face, what happened to my face?” He gently touched his face but still felt nothing.
“Your face looks like mine!!!” When Fern finished speaking, his eyes widened. He hurriedly walked towards the mirror that was in the room. What appeared was the face of a young woman. Not only his face, his voice, height, figure, eye color, and hair had all changed to resemble a magic user in every way.
Confused by what had happened, he finally found that his own body had changed from before......................... .................................................. .................................................. ........................
“Really, it's hard to believe that there is magic that makes things like this happen.” The woman let out a sigh as she cleaned up the various items that were scattered in the room.
“Don't turn it into gold without knowing how hot it is. I saw you calling and saying there was an urgent matter that needed to come right away. But it turned out that she was tied up as a lab rat. This is your urgent matter.” The young man in the woman's body shouted with all his might.
“By the way, this morning I just realized that my boyfriend is coming to visit. So I'm looking for magic that helps my skin look better. But to try it on yourself immediately would be too risky because this was an ancient and forbidden magic. That's why I thought of an old friend like you first, so are you happy?"
“Not happy at all. And are you confident that I will be able to return to my original form?”
“Don't worry. The textbook clearly states that it takes approximately one day to return to its original state. So come and help me clean up the room before now,” Fern said, handing over a broom.
"Wow, being caught as a lab rat isn't enough, I'm still being used."
"Please, please help me a little. My girlfriend will be here soon."
'Ding Dong' is like fate, the sky is bullying him. The two of them immediately turned to face the door. Even though it couldn't be seen, it was almost immediately deduced from the shadow that slipped through the gap below the door. Who is that 'he'?
“Come on!!!” Fern shouted inaudibly. The two of them hurriedly looked around and frantically gathered their things.
'Crack', the sound of the knob opening, Fern's heart nearly dropped to her knees.
'I absolutely can't let him see us in this state,' Fern thought so. “Nat, quickly hide!!!” Fern shouted, barely able to make a sound.
“Please allow me to,” a young man's voice outside cut in. The door slowly opened.
'Not in time!' A young man with blond hair walked through the door.
“Hello Fern,” the young man waved hello to the young woman sitting neatly on the sofa in the middle of the room.
'...Wait a minute...'
"Hello. Uh. What's your name?"
'...It's strange...'
“What are you talking about? What are we arguing about? Are you talking to someone you've been dating for over two months like this?” the young man said as he walked over and sat on the sofa opposite.
'...I'm the one who has to sit there...'
“Oh, that's right,” the woman laughed dryly.
“I'm surprised. I thought you were the type who always wore skirts, but this time you wore pants.”
“Ah..oh, like that?”
'...It's not...'
'This has changed positions!!!!!' It turned out that the young woman was so flustered that she accidentally hid on the balcony outside that was covered by a curtain. As for Nat, who should have been the one to hide, she was sitting on the sofa. She sat alone and wailed, heartbroken.
“Huh, what was that noise just now?” Tong was slightly startled when he heard a loud groan coming from outside.
"N-nothing. Please sit down." Nat (in Fern's body) tried to deflect the topic as best she could so that Tong would remain seated. As for himself, he looked towards the balcony and made eye contact with the young woman, signaling immediate understanding.
'We have to find a way to switch each other'
“But how about switching people?” Fern thought as she turned to look at the situation inside. It seemed like the two of them were just sitting and talking until there was no space to interject. But if you look closely, you will find that Tong is more of a one-sided person. But Nat (in Fern's body) is too much. No matter how you look at it, it's extremely unnatural.
More importantly, is the back of our body like this? Why is my hair so tangled and so fluffy? And when we sit normally, aren't our shoulders uneven like this?
"..." After talking for a long time Tong suddenly stopped talking.
“Is there something wrong?” Nat (in Fern's body) tried her best not to look out of place.
“...There is someone eavesdropping on us on the balcony.” Then the young man immediately stood up.
'Unfortunately,' both Nat and Fern thought about the same thing unexpectedly.
“Did you just think about it? This is the fifth floor balcony.” No matter how hard I tried to hold it back, it seemed like I couldn't stop it this time. Tong walked to the balcony and immediately opened the door and the curtains.
“...There was no one.” All that was found was an empty balcony.
"Eh..." The girl turned to look. Fern's body that was supposed to be hidden here had actually disappeared and...
“What is this?” A piece of dust flew and fell on her head without Tong noticing. When Nat raised his head and turned to look, he saw the figure of a young woman using both hands and feet to hold onto the ceiling above her with all her might. A face that was flushed red as if it was about to die soon was a clear sign. 'I can't take it anymore'
"I see, there's nothing. Hurry back into the room." Nut (in Fern's body) hurriedly pushed Tong back into the room. When the door closes
“Thump!!!”
“The sound of the bag falling. Just now I accidentally poked it.” The woman then pretended to bend over and pick up things on the floor so as not to look out of place. Meanwhile, the other girl outside was now gritting her teeth until tears flowed to keep from crying out.
“Is something wrong, Fern? She doesn't normally stutter."
“Ya..is that so?”
“Really, Fern. Can I make some coffee, please? I'll do it for you as well,” Tong said, gesturing towards the kitchen but still looking at the woman in a slight request for permission.
'The opportunity has come'
“Yes, of course,” the woman answered in a good mood, as if she had been waiting for this moment for a long time. When the young man got up and walked towards the kitchen. The door on the balcony finally slowly opened.
“Finally... we can all change.” Fern said tiredly while the other person sighed softly.
“Actually, your boyfriend is really good at talking. Plus, he keeps staring at the fault all the time, almost causing his heart to have a heart attack.”
“Let's just say it's you. How can you sit and be so unnaturally stiff? Plus he stutters. If it happens again and he sees me as that kind of person, what will I do?” When Fern finished speaking, Nut looked suspicious.
“I don't see anything. In the past, she used to stutter regularly.”
“That was a story from the past. Standing in front of him and stuttering would completely ruin my appearance,” Fern said, fixing her hair to look neat.
“What about the skirt? I remember you saying you liked wearing pants more. Each time I came, I always saw her wearing pants. But her boyfriend said it as if he had never seen her wear pants.”
“Is there anyone who, when standing in front of their boyfriend or girlfriend, doesn't want to look cute? Anyway, let's hurry and change ourselves, or we won't be in time.” With that, Fern pushed Nut on the back to make her quickly get up from her seat and hide on the side of the balcony.
“Wait a minute, Fern. What about clothes?" Nat's words made Fern think. It's true, we wear different kinds of clothes. If I suddenly saw that they were different clothes, how would I fix it?
“True!!!!”
“Have you thought of it yet, Fern?”
“I'll go hide in the bedroom first. After that, you told Tong that you would only come to change clothes. Then you went and hid in the bedroom.”
“...Okay then.”
“Good, then I....”
“Coffee has arrived,” a young man's voice came from the kitchen.
'Thump, thump, thump...BANG!!!!!' There was a slight commotion while Tong was walking back. He came with two cups of coffee in hand.
“What happened, Fern?” Tong asked with concern before handing a cup of coffee to the woman in front of him.
“No, it's nothing. Thank you very much.” The woman thanked her and then took the coffee from the young man's hand.
“...This is your outfit.”
“Eh, is there something like that?”
“Oh, no. No matter how many times I watch it, I still don't get used to seeing her wearing pants like this.”
'That's right, I guess I'll have to excuse myself and change into a skirt first.' I wanted to say this, but it didn't seem like it would be any use. Because the original target was the bedroom, Fern was in a hurry so she had to hide in a nearby locker. It would be impossible to ask to go change clothes at the locker. So what should we do?
'I missed it,' Fern secretly cried inside her locker. This was no different from hiding on the balcony. It's only better that I can hear them talking more clearly.
“Fern, try it. I brewed that cup of coffee with all my skill..."
“So, if that's the case...”
“Pure black coffee with half a spoonful of cream, not a spoonful of sugar added. Just the way you like Even I can't eat enough.”
“Proud!!!!!!! Just a little.”
"fern!!! Is something wrong?!!!” Tong quickly got up to help take care of her while the young woman was still choking on bitterness.
'All...all my image. Forget that this guy can't drink coffee.' The real Fern, who was hiding behind the cabinet, saw the whole situation and shook her head with her hands on her temples.
Tong picked up a tissue paper and wiped up the coffee drops that had splashed onto the table. “I'll bring you some clothes,” then got up and walked out. Make Fern see an opportunity
'Nat, it's now,' Fern signaled by gently knocking on the cabinet, causing Nut to turn and look.
"....." He didn't have a reaction, which made Fern even more agitated. She decided to pry open the cabinet and take a look. Seeing that there were only two of them, they came out of the closet.
“You don't know how to drink coffee, right? I don't see the need to force it that much."
"I..."
“The cloth has arrived!” Tong walked over with a clean cloth in his hand.
'Flop' until the end, this time Fern hid behind the sofa where Nat was sitting.
“Look, it's all messed up.” Tong took the cloth he had gotten and wiped both of the girl's arms. Then he reached out and wiped his face.
"I can do it myself. You don't have to..." The woman brushed her hand away.
“Let me do it...at least once, let me help you as your girlfriend.” Tong smiled, gently brushing the cloth against the woman's cheek.
"How are you? You've become cute again."
“...Sir,” the woman said softly.
“What's wrong, Fern?”
"What do you like about me..." I don't know what Nat (in Fern's body) is thinking right now.
“Ha ha, it's embarrassing to ask like that.” Tong laughed, raising his finger to lightly scratch his cheek. “...Probably because Fern is polite. Always neat, good-natured, cute, speaks softly and sweetly...is that too much?" Tong said, looking away in another direction out of embarrassment.
“What if I say...that I'm actually not who you say I am? Do you still like me?” Those words not only woke him up from his embarrassment. The other person hiding behind the sofa was also startled.
“Eh tha..why?”
“If I say Actually, I don't like you."
“Why do you say that? Talking like she already has someone else.”
".....excuse me"
“!!!!!” The young man was at a loss for words. Inside his head, there were many thoughts all clashing together.
“...Can you please go back first?”
“..." The young man was silent for a while before he stood up. "Fern, if you want me to go back first, that's fine, but..." His eyes were filled with determination. A faint smile appeared slightly at the corner of his mouth. “The story about me liking you is definitely true. And I won't give up on you easily..." Those were his last words before turning and walking away.
“Goodbye Fern.” The young man walked out of the room, leaving only the young woman in the room. Fern, who had been hiding for so long, appeared behind the sofa. Looking around, it was clear that the big cock had really left.
"Nat, what are you doing?"
“.....” The young man in the woman's body made a tense face.
“Why did you say it like that?”
“In the past...while a boy was playing in the park by himself. He met a neighbor girl who also came to play. He didn't know how to talk to the girl, so he used her stuttering inferiority to tease him. They said that drinking coffee must not include sugar. Said that wearing pants makes you look unattractive.
But what he hadn't dared tell him all this time was how happy he felt to have her as his playmate. He is willing to do anything to make her happy. If she's in trouble He's always willing to come and help even though he knows she has a boyfriend. Until now, those feelings haven't changed..." Nat finally talked about the feelings he had suppressed for a long time.
“Nat...”
“I'm sorry I was such a coward... Because I'm afraid that if this continues..." Nat said with the most serious expression Fern had ever seen.
“Fern, actually I like you too,” he smiled, a smile that hadn't appeared on his face in a long time.
"Eh..that's..." The girl acted incorrectly.
“Actually, When she stutters like that, it's really cute.”
“!!!!!” Fern was extremely confused. Her head was in turmoil.
“Wait a minute, eh, it's true, now you're me. But the person in front of me is you. And you said this to me, eh!!!” Amidst Fern's confusion. She paced around the room.
“Calm down, Fern.” Nat (in Fern's body) stood up and held her back. But that caused her to make a mistake and accidentally hit a vase and fell to the ground.
“Pleng!!! Thump!!!” There was a loud noise in the room. Then the door opened again.
“What happened, Fern?” A young man's figure stepped forward. It seemed that since leaving the room, he still hadn't gone anywhere. Still coming to terms with what happened. But as soon as there was a loud noise in the room, it would be impossible for him to stand still outside and so he finally decided to open the door and enter the room.
“Is something wrong with Fern? Fern...eh.” And then he was shocked by the sight he saw.
“There are two ferns?”........................................ .................................................. .................................................. ..........
“Just like this.” The young man picked up his coffee and took a sip. Meanwhile, Fern and Nat, who had explained everything that had happened, finally sat and bowed their heads and admitted their guilt.
“I'm sorry, Tong. It was an accident.” Fern folded her hands together and apologized to the man in front of her with remorse.
"...Your name is Natsina..." Tong turned to ask the other girl, who he now knew was someone else.
"yes"
“Do you like ferns like that?”
"yes"
“But Fern is mine. And I won't give it up easily,” said Tong, asserting himself with superior cards.
“It doesn't matter, because I will be the one to steal your heart,” Nat replied without fear.
“Oh, this is beautiful. I also want to know who you will like.”
"Then why don't you just ask her and find out?"
“Eh”
“Ah, really, there is a method like this. If so.” The two of them turned to look at Fern.
“Who do you like more?” the two said in unison, making Fern blush with embarrassment.
“I..I..” She suddenly stood up. Trembling with confusion
"...I don't even know!!!!!!!!!!!!...." And then Fern ran away.
