The sun is shining brightly, waves are crashing to the shore. And the smell of the sea filled her senses.

Lately it was too hot so they decided to spend his birthday on the beach.

She was lying under the shade of their umbrella as she watched Artem surf. He looked cool conquering the waves that she couldn't look away from him..

"My cool fiancé" she exclaimed as soon as Artem returned to her side.

Artem cheeks turns red maybe because of the sun or he's still not used to hearing the words "cool" and "fiancé"

"Why don't we take a walk?" She stood up and extended her hands to him.

Artem smiles and grabs her hand

They walk along as the sun sets, illuminating their surroundings with an orange hue. They keep on walking away from the crowd.

Suddenly they saw a roses scattered across the sand. She pulled his hand following the path.

At the end there was a romantic candlelight dinner for two

"You" Artem looked at her

She stepped away from him to get the cake placed on the table.

"I know you're content with this trip, you're content with having me at your side. But I still want to prepare something special for you." She said as she walked back towards him.

"Happy Birthday, Artem" she continued.

In that moment Artem wanted to her if only she wasn't holding the cake

"Now, Make a wish" she said

"I don't need to wish anything cause my wish already came true the moment you came into my life" he leaned down and pressed a chaste kiss on her lips before blowing the candle.

---

They return back to the hotel after their romantic dinner.

She look at herself in the bathroom mirror. She bought new lingerie especially for this occassion. Adding a finishing touch, she place a ribbon on top of her head

She peaked on the bathroom door and called his name

Artem walked up to her, as soon as she revealed herself

Artem.exe stopped working.

It looks like they're celebrating his birthday until the day ends..

She was in their room, feeling distressed as she looks at herself in the mirror. She thinks that she gained some weight again. Her lips turned into a frown.

“Something Wrong?” Artem suddenly asks as he stand on the doorway of their room.

She turned around and look at him with a frown.

“Did I gain some weight?” She asked him

Artem looked at her but couldn’t find anything different, he thinks. Suddenly he could feel someone staring at him intensely waiting for his answer.

If he made a wrong answer, she might get mad at him

“Um… You look beautiful” he answered nervously

she glared at him, not hearing the answer she wants

“ That’s not what I’m asking” she said

Sweat formed on his forehead not knowing what to answer. Maybe he could just tell her the truth.

“No, you didn’t” he tried his best to look her in the eyes to make his answer look more convincing.

She walks towards him and a sigh relief escaped her lips.

“I thought, I did” she said as she hugged him.

Artem felt the sense of relief washes over him cause for a moment he could. See his life flash before his eyes..

Artem woke up hearing a soft knock on their door. He got up to see who’s knocking in the middle of the night. It was there four year old daughter Luna. She was holding her plush lion and tears falling from her eyes.

“What’s wrong princess?” He crouched down and lifts her up

She snuggled closer to him as her tiny arms clings to his neck.

“I got a nightmare, that papa and mama left me. I keep looking but i couldn’t find he both of you.” She said as she cried even harder.

Artem pats her back to console her

“Mama and Papa will lays be here” Artem tighten his hug on her.

“Papa can I sleep with you?”She asks while looking at him with her pleading eyes

Looking at her, his heart melts and couldn’t resists her request. Artem carry her back to their bed. He lay her down beside his sleeping wife and lay beside her. She snuggle closer to him and hugged his arms. Not a moment after she fell asleep. Artem press a kiss on her forehead.

“Goodnight princess, sweet dreams” he whispered

Artem settle down and let his sleepiness took over him.

She kept walking aimlessly on the grocery store. A yawn escaped her lips every now and then. She was too tired but they ran out of some necessities. Artem wasn’t there to accompany her since he was meeting a client.

She passed by the shampoo aisle, she was too sleepy and grabbed the shampoo the look exactly as the one he’s using without even reading the label. After a few more run, she finished her shopping and quickly went back home so she could take a nap.

——

She woke up to the sound of someone showering, looking up the clock on the bed side table. Seeing that its only 7am she wanted to sleep again.

Artem came out of the bathroom wearing only his pants, when he caught her staring in a daze. He walks up to her.

“Did I wake you up?” Artem asks

She look at him and the first thing she saw is his bare chest, suddenly her sleepiness melts away. Her heart skip a beat and warmth crept into her cheeks.

“Nope, the bed just feels colder” she answered

She tear her gaze away from his chest too look at him in the eyes . But suddenly something caught her attention.

“Artem! Your hair” she screamed

He instinctively touch his hair to see what’s wrong but couldn’t find anything.

“Is there something in my hair?” He asks

She got up and pulled him back to the bathroom so he could see himself in the mirror. His hair color turned into something reddish. For a moment he was confused, why it happened. Did he accidentally used the wrong shampoo or something.

“Temporary hair color shampoo” She mumbles behind his back

Artem looks at her and saw her bowing her head and avoiding his gaze

“It’s my fault, I bought the wrong shampoo. I’m sorry” She apologize

Artem grabbed her chin and lifts it up so she could meet his gaze.

“This is just a small accident, don’t blame yourself. It’ll probably fade in the next few hours” Artem console her .

“It’ll take two weeks before it fades as written on the bottle” She solemnly said and avoided his gaze again

That means he have to go to the office with this hair.

She can’t take it anymore seeing his bewildered face. She grabbed the shampoo and pushed him out of the bathroom.

“It’s all my fault so I better atone for it” she said

“What are you gonna do?” He asks

“Taking a bath” She replied before slamming the door shut

——

People keep string at them, as they walk inside the law firm. Ignoring their stares they went quickly too their floor. But as soon as Kiki saw them she squeezed.

“What happened to your hair?” She asks

She looked at Artem and a sigh left their lips, cause now they both have the same colored hair.

“It’s a long story” She answered

“You don’t need to be so sullen, you’re like a cute couple with matching hair” Kiki cheered them up.

A small smile crept on their faces hearing what Kiki said. Maybe this isn’t such a disaster after all.

What he looks like ☺️

She stared at the close door of his office. Tears trickle down her cheeks, it never gets easy. It's been months since he left them.

She's glad celestine left for awhile and there's no other people except for them, because her tears won't stop falling

"Are you okay?" Celestine asks her as soon as she sees her crying.

She wiped her tears first before looking up to meet her concern gaze.

"I don't know, I miss him and I regret not telling him how I feel." She confess

Celestine pulls her into a hug, she doesn't know what to tell her cause even her misses him.

That day is still fresh from their minds like it just happened yesterday.

Artem was driving on the way home, a smile plastered on his lips. He's both nervous and excited to finally confess to her.

They're heading to the amusement park, everything is already set. The necklace he'll give her is complete. The only thing to do is tell her.

But he didn't get to do all that

That night he got into an car accident which took his life

The next morning they got the call of his passing.

"Professor An left something, she thinks this belongs to you" Celestine said as she handed her a black velvet box

She opened the box and it contains a specially customized necklace.

"Artem was supposed to confess to you on the amusement park. But he never got the chance to do so. Artem's loves you until his last breath" Celestine continued

She clutches the necklace close to her chest. Her body trembles as tears endlessly trickle down her cheeks.

She keeps mumbling how much she loves him too.

Celestine can only pat her back to console her. Tears formed on the corner of her eyes as she watches her fall apart.

She was lying on the couch mindlessly scrolling through her phone when she saw a video. What if she did that to Artem , she look over at the kitchen where he was cooking, just imagining is reaction makes her giggle.

She open her front camera and began her plan.

"oh! this man is so handsome and he's caring too. I might fall for him" She screamed

Hearing her words Artem peaked from the kitchen.

"Who?" He asks

"This man" She looked back and answered him

"Who?" Artem got more confused and walked up to her.

"Him" She answered giving her phone to him.

Artem was confused as he saw himself, it took him a minute or two to realize the man she was talking about was him

He was stunned as a reddish tint creeped his cheeks.

She giggled seeing his reactionñ

"Me?" He said

She walk over to him and cupped his cheeks.

"Of course its you. the most handsome,caring and the person I love the most" She stand on her tiptoes and kiss her lips.

Artem grab the back of her neck to deepen the kiss.

"I love you" he whisperes againsts her lips before kissing her again.

Its been a few days since she began mentoring the new intern. She didn't get a chance to work with Artem since he was handling a different case. And she misses Artem from time to time eventhough they live together she still miss working with him.

Most of the time, she spend it with her intern. He was smart and had a strong analytical mind. She didn't have a hard time teaching him.

They usually talk about law stuff got along with each other because of it. She see him as a friendly junior. But he sees her more than his senior. He likes her.

They were finalizing the needed documents for the case their handling. He was sitting near her as she pointing out the key points on the documents. But he kept stealing a glance at her.

Artem just finished everything he needs for the case. He was about to asks her to have lunch. But the scene infront of him wasn't appealing to him.

He was sitting too close and looking at her with stars in his eyes.

Artem could feel a strange sensation bubbling inside of him. He walks toward her table approaching them nonchalantly

He cough to get their attention

They turn around, and saw him standing behind them with a strange smile on his face.

" Mr. Wing" The intern stood up and distancing himself from her

Artem gaze is fixated on her, never bother looking at him.

"Its already Lunch Time, Our lunch is already at our office." Artem reminds her.

She excused herself as she went with Artem back to his office. As they we're walking, He grabs her hand and intwined it with his and gently squeeze it.

She looks at him with star in her eyes and a smile plastered on her lips.

The intern just watch them from behind staring at them in a daze.

That night they watched a horror movie recommended by her friend. They don't usully watch this kind of films but she wanted to see Artem scared.

But things backfired at her, cause he watch the movie unfazed while she curled up in his arms and now she's been staring unable to sleep cause she's been thinking about the movie and has been on the edge.

"Why are you still awake" A familiar voice asks.

"The movie was too scary I can't stop thinking about" She turned around and look at him

Artem grabbed her waists pulling her closing to him and gently patting her back.

His warmth envelops her, calming her nerves.

"Didn't you get scared?" She looked up and asks

Artem shakes his head

"There's only one thing that terrified me" He looks down and meet her gaze

"What?" she asks

He leaned down to press a kiss on her forehead

"Losing you" he whispered.

For some reason, he can't stop looking at her lips, whether she's speaking or just in a thin line.

Artem didn't know that it could make him lose his focus. As she speaks in front of him. Sitting beside him she's been telling something about the new case but all he could think about is how badly he wants to kiss her.

"Artem,are you listening" She asks.

"Y-yeah, I was just lost in thought" Artem tries his best to compose himself as he gives her an apologetic look.

Sigh left her lips and continued to discuss work with him. But she kept noticing that he kept looking at her lips and spacing out.

Unable to take it anymore, she slams the file at hand on the table and grabs his tie down to press a kiss on his lips.

"If you want to kiss me, just tell me nothing will happen if you just keep staring at my li-" Artem suddenly cuts her off as he cupped her cheeks and kissed her passionately.

Tasting her lips, he keeps kissing her. He's glad that he locked the door cause he won't be stopping anytime soon.

"Remember, you can only come in ten minutes after I enter the company." she reminded seriously.

They've been dating for months now but nobody knows except for Celestine and Kiki since they were their friends

Artem don't mind telling everyone else but she does. She just don't want people to think badly of her.

"Don't worry, go inside now or you'll be late" Artem reaches out and pat the top of her.

She smiled at him and pressed a kissed on his lips before she got out of the car. She looked back at him once more before going inside.

Files piling on her desks it was another busy day for them. She focus on the screen and didn't notice that Artem pretended to pass by, and a cup of milk tea appeared on her desks. After a while, there appeared a small bread, a piece of chocolate...

She just finished typing out a report, when she notice the pile of food on her table. She look at his office and shakes her head in disbelief.

At the end of the day's work, Artem stretched himself. he glanced at her from a distance. Almost at the same time, the two stood up with their bags and walked out of the office.

In the elevator, they stood beside each other in silence acting if they're just normal co workers. Suddenly she notices that his tie is a bit crooked and it kept bothering her. Unable to to resists anymore she reaches out fixed it

Soon after the elevator door open. In an instant she pushed him away so hard that Artem almost fell down. it turns out its just Celestine. Seeing what she did to him Celestine can't stop laughing at them.

Artem gently lifts her hand and presses a kiss on top of it. He glanced at her pale face. It's been a week and still she hasn't regained her consciousness.

"I'll make sure, that person will pay for what he did to you" he promised her and placed a kiss on her forehead.

It happened a week ago but for him it felt like it just happened yesterday. Every time he closed his eyes he clearly remembered everything.

They're trying to entrap the suspect in an abandoned warehouse. When suddenly a gun shot echoes and the woman beside him falls into the ground

He catches her before she falls into the ground while the police with them try to catch the man but they fail to do so.

Artem pressed his hand over the gushing wound on her abdomen to stop it from bleeding.

Soon after the ambulance arrived and took them away. The whole ride he hold her hand while talking to her to hold on

He notices that her eyes are getting droopy.

"Don't close your eyes.. please don't leave me" he pleaded while squeezing her hand.

But as soon as they arrived at the hospital she lost consciousness.

They prepared her for an emergency surgery after a couple of hours.they successfully removed the bullet and stabilized her condition

But she remained unconscious, the doctors can't tell when she'll wake up for now all they can do is wait.

----

That night Artem went to the abandoned warehouse where he took the culprit who shot her.

For days he tracked him down before he finally found him and knocked him unconscious before dragging him to this place without anyone seeing him.

The man suddenly woke up, he tried to move but he was restrained on a chair.

"Where am I, who are you? Show yourself" He keeps shouting

"How insulting, that you can't remember me" Artem showed himself

The man tried his best but still he can't remember him

"Maybe if I shoot your abdomen too you'll remember me" He said firmly holding the gun in his hand.

Suddenly it hit him and the man laughed maniacally.

"So how's that woman, did she die" he taunted him.

Suddenly a punch landed on his face, and a kick landed on his abdomen.

"Shut your mouth, before I make you. You're not the one who gets to talk here" Artem glared at him and pressed the gun against his forehead

"Go ahead and kill me, a lawyer with blood on his hands" he laughed again.

Artem grabbed her face to shut him up

" I don't mind tainting my hands with blood. After all you hurt the most important person in my life" Artem grabbed a cloth and stuffed it in his mouth.

"Now shall we begin" he cracked his knuckles as a sinister grin spread across his lips while he laid out his tools.

There's this terrifying look in his eyes as Artem looks back at him that made him shiver

-----

She slowly opens her eyes, and the gaze lands on Artem who is sleeping on the chair beside her bed.

She wanted to speak but there's something attached to her mouth making her unable to do so.

As if sensing that she woke up, Artem opened his eyes and met her gaze. He quickly stood up and hugged her gently

"You're awake finally" overwhelmed with happiness teats trickle down his cheeks

He pressed a kiss on her forehead before leaving to call the doctor

She has been unconscious for two weeks and needs a little bit more time before she could speak and move her body again.

That night Artem sat beside her and told her some stories that happened while she's unconcious.

Except that, those are meant to be buried with him

The moment he felt that chills that morning. He should've called and took the rest of the day off. Cause now his head is pounding and couldn't do anything else.

He leaned back on his chair, and closed his eyes. A burning sensation spread throughout his body, his muscle also feels so sore like he's been hit by a truck.

Suddenly a soft knock on his door as a familiar voice called out his name.

"Come in" he said

He tried to hide that he was not feeling well from since he didn't want her to worry but the moment he opened his eyes he winced in pain.

Soon after footsteps can be heard rushing to his side.

"You have a fever" she said as she pressed her forehead against his. "We're going home" she was about to get his things when he grabbed her wrists to stop her.

"I already took some medicine, it'll take effect in a few minutes.. i just needed some sleep" He tried to convince her.

A sigh left her lips as she gave in

"Then sleep on the couch, I'll help you out" She supported him as they walked towards the couch.

He laid his head on her lap as she ran her finger through his hair.

"You should've told me that you're feeling under the weather. Celestine wouldn't mind if we took a leave from work since we just finished a case" She scolded him but the concerned is etch on her voiced

"I'm sorry, I didn't think it could go worse" he apologized.

She continues running her hands through his hair until he falls asleep.

"What will I do to you?" She shook her head and pressed a gentle kiss on her forehead..

The light from the window blinded him, as soon as he opened his eyes. He looked around and found the room to be so familiar. But wasn't this their house in stellis

Is he dreaming, wasn't he in a hotel in City A for since he was invited there to handke a case.

He thinks he might be dreaming. So he sleeps again.

Soon after, the alarm rang, he reached out to it and turned it off.

He slowly opened his eyes and still he found himself in the same room. Confusion  filled his mind.

He tried to get up to figure things out, suddenly he could feel something heavy on his chests.

He pressed it and found it to be soft under his touch. Looking down he found his chests to be enlarged.

A screamed left his lips, did he turn into a woman overnight.

He rushed towards the bathroom to look at himself in the mirror. But his confusion only grew worse when his reflection was not his own but of his lover.

What's happening did their body swap overnight. So if his in her body that means.

Artem rushed back to the bedroom to grab her phone. He was about to call her but it rings suddenly and his caller ID showed up.

Before she  could even speak, he cuts her off asking her some questions

"Is everything okay? How are you? " He asks as if they're not in the same situation.

"I'm fine, just shocked. And it just feels a bit weird being in your body"she exclaimed.

They both find it uncanny hearing each other's own voice on the other end of the line.

"What should we do" she asked him

Artem collected his thoughts, outweighing what solution is best for them. Maybe if they touch each other they could return to their own body. But she was in City A and the case he was handling will be in trial the day after tomorrow

"I'll help you with the case for now we need to try our best to get used to living in each other's body until you can return to Stellis " Artem suggested.

Artem starts to get ready for work, even though he sees her naked body so many times. He still tries his best not to look and touch her sensitive parts as he is showering.

So the whole time he barely had his eyes open. Since it doesn't feel right especially if she's not here.

He arrived at work, trying his best to act like her. He forced a smile and greeted everyone he passed through.

But still keep staring at him.

Reaching her desks, he finally lets out the breath he keeps holding on.

"Are you okay? You're smiling weirdly when you arrive" Kiki asked as soon as he arrived.

Artem panicked a little, is he too obvious

"Maybe I'm just tired. I overworked last night" he explained

"Eh! Don't overwork yourself just because Artem isn't here. You might collapse again" Kiki exclaimed

Hearing her words, it brought back unpleasant memories of him receiving a call cause she collapsed on the street.

" I won't, l'll asks someone to help me in case I needed to" he reassured her.

Convince with his words she goes back to her posts to work.

Since he's in charge with her body. He made sure he eats on time and not to overwork himself.

Also he made some notes on cses he'll help her once they return to each other's body.

Artem returned home early that night, he browsed all the files that needed the case for the case in city A.

He summarized everything to heñp her win the case. He didn't  have to worry too much since with her capabilities he's sure she could win the case.

He grabbed her phone and called her.

In the second ring, she answers the phone.

"Artem how's work, Is everything okay?" Before he could speak she cuts him off asking speechless.

"Everything fine, I send the files needed for the trial" he said

He could hear a sigh left her lips.

"How about you, is everything fine" he asks.

"Everything is fine, most of the time I just spend most of the time working om the case alone" she replied

Artem felt relieved hearing her words.

"On another note, i found something regarding our swap. The night before it happened there's a meteor shower. Maybe that's the cause of it . But I still couldn't find anything for us to return back" she said

"Don't worry about that, let's figuee it out once you return" he reassured her

"Artem I miss you" she said

"I miss you too" he replied

They talked for a bit more before ending the call

Days passed by, the trial on the City A ended and she won.

" I'm home" she announced.

Artem peaked on the kitchen. And  walked towards her

"Welcome home" he embraced her and stand on tip toes since there's a height difference between them and kissed her lips.

She pulled him closer deepening the kiss. Closing their eyes, savoring the taste of each other's lips

"I miss you" she whispered againsts his lips

Suddenly she realized, it was her voiced instead of Artem's

"Wait!" She snapped her eyes open, seeing Artem im front of her she realized their back on their own body.

"We're back" he said a small smile plstered on his lips.

So the only thing they needed to do is kiss

"Now we're back, shall we continue" Artem pulled her body closer.

She nods and kissed his lips, Artem lifts her up carrying her towards tbeir bedroom...
