"Go transfer." The middle aged woman said, sitting on the floor of their small, dilapidated apartment. Her clothes were out of season by decades, frayed and worn. Wrinkles lined her face and hands like weathered leather.

"Huh?" The short, fat boy dumbly answered, not comprehending his mother's words.

She smiled sadly and continued, "I haven't taken good enough care of you. I can't come with you because of work. But you'll be okay by yourself, right?"

Daniel was confused, but he would be lying if he said he wasn't just a little bit happy to hear that he would be receiving just what he had been begging for. But he still didn't understand why she was saying this so suddenly.

"Studying is important. Who cares about friends, right?"

At her words, something finally clicked in Daniel's mind.

'She knew! She knew all along that I was being bullied. She only pretended she didn't know…' Images of him being slapped, punched, kicked and treated like a slave in his school flashed across his mind.

As a short, ugly and fat kid, his life at school was cruel. Girls felt disgusted looking at him. Boys saw him as an easy way to establish their dominance. He thought that it would change when he went to high school, after being bullied the entire time he was in middle school.

Nothing changed. He was still short, ugly and fat. And he was still at the bottom of the cruel social hierarchy that was high school.

"I'll take care of your expenses. Just trust me and go." His mother gave him a reassuring smile, but underneath it, he could see her hardships.

Just this afternoon, he had screamed at his mom that she was embarrassing him, when all she did was try to protect him after seeing him getting bullied. Daniel told he was embarrassing him and screamed at her to leave, in front of his schoolmates that had gathered to stare at the scene. The schoolmates that had been there bullying him in the first place.

He stood on the side of his own bullies, and said awful things to his mother who did nothing but try to take care of him. Just remembering her expression of pain from being yelled at by her own son…

Daniel couldn't help the tears that started pouring out.

"I-I'm sorry mom…"

He was apologizing for screaming at her earlier in the day, for not standing by her side when she stood by his. And more importantly, for wanting to run away and ignore her burden. He hated it, but he didn't think he had a choice.

Daniel felt like a piece of shit for abandoning his mother and still be expecting her to pay for his expenses. He wanted to change. He wanted to be a better person, a better son. But he knew that to do this, he needed to have a fresh start. Somewhere his past would not haunt him anymore.

More tears fell from his face.

"Aigoo, hush my boy. Why are you crying?" His mother comforted him with a hug, and Daniel could feel the bones in her skinny frame. When did she get so thin?

'Hah, I am really… the worst son in the world…'

Daniel Park moved to live on his own in another district in Seoul. The low-level vocational school he was transferring to, Jae Won High School, one of the few that would accept a mid-year transfer, was located in a different district.

Well, there were other schools that would have accepted him in the same district, but he wanted to move far away. He didn't want to run into Logan and the other bullies that made his life a living hell every day.

Now he was alone in his new apartment, looking at the uniform of his new school in deep thought.

'I moved here so that I could have a fresh start. Things like being popular, let's forget about it. All that I should be working towards now is making enough money to let mom have a comfortable life. This is a new chance for me, an opportunity I shouldn't squander.'

'Renting this apartment, even if it is just an old shack in a mountain neighbourhood, how much does it cost? Mom who can't even buy new clothes for herself, got me a new set of school uniforms. And she even sends plenty of pocket money for me too.'

Daniel glanced at the stack of bills his mother had given to him in an envelope. She said to use it buy anything he might need for his new school. Even after spending so much on renting this apartment and on everything else he needed to move to this new neighbourhood, she still scrounged up 100,000 won for his expenses…

Piak!

Daniel slapped his cheeks with both hands.

'Let's be a good son from now on. Focus on getting good grades and letting my mom live a good life!'

-------------------------------------------

(That night)

Daniel looked into the mirror and saw another person staring back at him. A naked man that had the physique and body of an Adonis. Perfectly sharp features that still had a masculine look to it. A muscular body with perfect washboard abs that was more lean than bulky.

Even the lower part of this man was twice as big…

'No, wait, why is there a handsome, naked man staring at me from the mirror?'

Daniel instinctively reached out with his hand and was stunned to see the man in the mirror doing the same.

'Huh? Is this a reflection? This is… my reflection!?'

"O-ohoh?"

He was so stupefied that a stupid sound came out of his mouth – his mouth that now looked like perfect, alluring lips of a male model.

Daniel was so shocked that he took a step back reflexively and stumbled as he was not used to his now long legs. Even still, he managed to catch himself with a hand before falling completely flat on his face. His reflexes were maybe ten times sharper than what it used to be.

But though he caught himself before he fell, his hand still ached slightly from the impact.

'It hurts? Is this not a dream? Is this really…'

Confusion and doubt burst out like a broken dam. Tense minutes passed as Daniel thought about what he should do next.

'Call an ambulance? Call mom? Or should I first call scientists to figure out what the hell is…'

Just as Daniel's thoughts were racing, he saw something even more shocking – his body sleeping on the mattress on the floor. His original body. The short, ugly and pudgy body that was his.

After a few minutes, Daniel figured out a few things. If one body fell asleep, he would wake up in the other body. And while one body slept, the other body is awake. Though he had two bodies, he still only had one mind, one consciousness.

He could not be awake in both bodies at the same time.

Secondly, forcing one body awake would force the other body to automatically fall asleep.

These were the only things he could understand in such a short time. But even so, just this small information seemed to have awakened something in Daniel's brain.

Having two bodies, being conscious for 24/7… the possibilities were incredible!

Furthermore… Daniel looked at his new body from his old body and gulped. Incredibly toned muscles, a devilishly handsome face, a natural grace and dignity that seemed like it belonged to royalty.

And more importantly…

Daniel's gaze moved downwards.

Shit, why is his new body's dick so big? Even flaccid, it looked like it was the same size as his old body's dick when it is erect. How is that fair!?

Daniel was only bitter for a few seconds before chuckling to himself at the silliness of comparing the dick sizes of both his body.

'That's right. This body is mine now. I don't have a small dick anymore. That big dick is mine! Not just that dick! This handsome face, this 180cm tall body and its perfect muscles… they are all mine!'
