Chapter 1: Prince and The Pauper ft Pinoccio

The Blue Fairy: Prove yourself brave, truthful, and unselfish, and someday, you will be a real boy.

-- Pinoccio

Let us rewind to the beginning, let's wave our magic wand and let it take us somewhere else, away from the problems and sorrows of today to the beautiful yesterday when everything was so innocent and harmless, safe and warm. Let's remember those distant days when we used to smile so widely and brightly. Let's open the coffin of those memories and smile at them. Take a rest.

It was just a silly idea, a seed that grew into a plant too big to be plucked out anymore, a flower too beautiful to be resisted. After all, they were just two teenage boys, crazy and open to any insane ideas. Jiyong was reluctant at first but then he grew interested in how did his brother live his life up until now, who were his friends, what did his room look like...

With exactly similar faces they would have no problem to fool people around them only their characters as different as day and night would cause some problems. But they were sure they could pull it all off for a few days. Only, a few days... became forever.

“I used to believe in forever, but forever is too good to be true” 

― A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

But what if forever becomes too awful to be untrue?

Seung Hyun cleared his throat and took a deep breathe before grabbing the handle of the door that would lead him into Jiyong's life. He looked once more around himself, the house was rather shabby and as small as his garage. Could a family really fit somewhere so small? He pushed the door open and stepped in, a delicious smell of food welcoming him in.

“You are back?” Dara exclaimed, rushing to the hallway “Wait! Don't take your shoes off yet, take the trash out!” she hastily pushed a plastic bag into his hands. Seung Hyun's eyes widened in shock when he realized what he was holding, maybe for the first time in his life.

“What do I do with this?” he asked, still shaken by the whole situation.

Dara gave him a weird look. “Are you pretending to be retarded so you wouldn't have to take the trash out? Cheap, bro, very cheap...”

Seung Hyun made a weird face but Dara just shook her head and walked away, disappearing somewhere deeper in the house. He stood there for a while, not knowing what to do and wondering what to even think. “She is still pretty” he suddenly chuckled by himself.

Meanwhile Jiyong stared out from the backseat of the black BMW, his eyes wide open and his mouth agape. What he saw resembled a castle, how could it even be called a home. Wasn't it too big? The driver rushed out from the car and opened the door for him, even carried his backpack as Jiyong walked up the steps. Before he managed to grab the door handle the door suddenly flied open and an elder woman welcomed him with a happy smile. He was pushed into Seung Hyun's life without any preparation. Like whirlwind his fate took another unexpected turn.

“Son, you are late. Get ready for the Governor's birthday party”
