‘I thought this might happen…,’ Max thought, looking at his sister.

As a result of the previous night, some unexplainable changes had happened to him, and that included the change in his physique. Max, who was like a fat pumpkin, now looked fit and handsome; he had even grown 3 inches taller... in height. So it wasn’t a surprise that his sister wouldn’t recognize him, as he looked way different than the last time she saw him. But what could he do but explain it to her somehow.

“I am Max, your brother… you don’t recognize me?”

However, contrary to his expectations, the reaction from his sister was quite normal.

“Oh, I see…”

She calmly looked at her hand bag, putting her hand inside, searching for something.

“Now that I look at you closely, you are Max. I see, I see…,” she said, taking out the stun gun from her bag, “...Or DID YOU THINK I WOULD SAY THAT?? YOU BASTARD!”

Suddenly, she jumped at Max with the stun gun.

“Hiek!!”

Max narrowly dodged the gun and backed away hurriedly.

“Sis! Listen to me for a second, I am really Max!”

He tried to pursue his sister, but she was not even ready to listen to him.

“Bullshit! How can a man as fit as you be Max? My brother was a sweet weak dumpling, who looked like a ripe pumpkin!”

‘Wow! Is this what my sister thought of me?’

Max suddenly had such a thought; nevertheless, he tried to convince her.

“Sis! It's really me. This appearance... I… I was like this when I woke up! Really, I am telling the truth!”

But obviously, his words fell on deaf ears as his sister wore a smug expression, activating the stun gun.

“Oh really?WHO THE HELL WOULD BELIEVE THAT NONSENSE??”

And she jumped at him once again!

“Ahhhh! Calm down, sis!”

Max ran away from her.

“Wait! That’s right, I can tell you things that the real Max would know!”

He thought, thinking if it would help him convince her.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

“I know that you hate mushrooms, and your jaws hurt because you grind your teeth in your sleep!! And… And you went on a blind date last time and complained to me about how horrible it went.”

He said whatever he thought would convince her, but his sister was still unconvinced.

“Wow, you have done your research! What else? Keep blabbering on!”

Nevertheless, she didn’t look one bit convinced by him.

“Then…,” suddenly, the air around Max changed. There was sadness in his eyes as he spoke, “Mom and dad, they died in a car accident three years ago, on my birthday. It was because I forced them to take us to the amusement park…. You know that I still regret it to this day, don’t you?”

“Are you really…. Max?”

She finally lowered the stun gun.

“Yeah! I don’t know what happened either… my body became like this all of a sudden.”

Emma, his sister, put down the stun gun and walked towards him.

“Max, I still can't believe what you are saying, but are you really okay?”

Is he okay? To be honest, he wasn’t.

Max experienced some crazy things yesterday that it wouldn’t be a surprise for him to think of it as a dream. His mind was in turmoil, and he himself wasn’t sure what was happening with him, but he didn’t want to make his sister worry.

“I am okay, sister.”

He lied to her since he knew telling everything that happened yesterday to her would make her worry, or in the worst case, she might think he has gone crazy!

“....”

Emma stared at Max’s face for a minute before she cried out once again!

“THIS WON'T DO!! Let's go to the emergency room right now.”

“What? Sis, wait a minute!”

“Why? You should get your body examined if something like this happens.”

Emma was worried for Max, and she was not ready to just accept his changes overnight as a simple miracle. She worried if this might be a new kind of disease or something, so she wanted to examine his body.

“No… Even so, do you think doctors would believe me? You are a nurse, right? Even you didn’t believe me!”

“That is irrelevant! You should get your body examined. What if it's some kind of disease?”

“AH…! I don’t know, but I don’t think it's a disease. I am thinking about living like this.”

“Living like this? What are we talking about? You don’t want to go to school? Do you think your friends, teachers, or others would believe you are Max?”

His sister was speaking so logically that Max was trying hard to respond to her, but he knew one thing: if he went for an examination, then he would become a lab rat for scientists!

“I will get an examination if they don’t believe me, so please leave this matter here….”

He said in a disparate attempt to persuade her.

“.....”

Emma stared at him for a minute before she sighed. “Ha… My god! You’re stubborn at the weirdest things ... Alright! If that’s what you decided, then grab your bag and get ready for school. I will go with you and explain to the teachers.”

“Huh? You will go with me?”

“Yes, obviously. Since a nurse’s words would be more believable than yours.”

“But even if you don’t come with me, I have a plan on my own.”

He didn’t want to take his sister to school at such an age! But his sister didn’t seem to want to send him on his own.

“Hey Max…,” she once again grabbed the stun gun on the table and looked at him with squinted eyes.

“Will you follow me quietly, or will you follow me after I hit you with this?”

“......I’ll follow you quietly…..”

He chose to follow her obediently.
