    Hung, a stout and sweaty man, entered Huong's room and glanced at the pile of neatly folded clothes on the bed.

    Huong then suggested that they swap socks, just for fun. Hung, finding the idea amusing, agreed.

    Once they had swapped socks, Huong felt his body becoming stout and sweaty, while Hung felt his body becoming slim and clean.

    They realized that by swapping socks, they had swapped bodies. They felt both discomfort and hatred towards their new bodies.

    In an attempt to return to their original bodies, they decided to swap the socks back.

    As they swapped the socks back, they held their breath, hoping to return to their original bodies.

    But to their horror, they remained in their swapped bodies. Huong remained stout and sweaty, while Hung remained slim and clean.

    Hung, now in Huong's slim body, looked at his clean hands and sighed. Huong, now in Hung's stout body, looked at his sweaty palms and frowned.
