"I just left the hospital," She answered truthfully.
"Hospital? Why would you go to the hospital? I had a very healthy body. Did you destroy my body in just one week?" He asked in shock.
"No. I did not destroy your body, brother." She pouted and said.
"Then why were you at the hospital?" He asked.
"Because of our body swap. Everyone thought I… I mean you… had gone crazy. So they took me to the hospital. After all the checkups were done, it had already been a week." She explained.
"..." Winter was dumbfounded. "Don't you know what adaptability is? How could you let others think I had gone crazy?"
"What? You mean no one doubted you when we swapped our bodies?" She asked in shock.
"Of course not. As soon as I opened my lips to speak and found the change in my voice, and I saw Dad in front of me, I understood immediately and went along with it." He said in a proud tone.
"Wow!!! Brother, you are amazing~" Summer praised her brother without any scruples.
"Of course I am." Winter laughed out loud proudly with his chin raised to the skies.
They talked for a while before getting to the important matter. They had to learn everything about each other so that their secret wouldn't be busted.
"Brother, how about we get mommy and daddy together again?" Summer asked sweetly.
Before, her wish was to meet her mother once because she thought that she had died. Now that she found she was still alive, of course, she would want her mother back in her life.
What better way could there be than getting their parents back together?
"I don't think so," Winter replied.
"Huh? Why do you say that, brother?" Summer did not understand.
"There should be a reason for why our parents separated in the first place. I don't think we should get involved in their matters. Also…" He stopped speaking.
"Also? What is it, brother?" Summer probed.
"I like Uncle Lester getting together with Mom better." He said.
"Uncle Lester? Who is that?" Summer doesn't know anyone around her mother and brother yet.
"Lester Hunt. He is someone who is interested in our mom. I like him as well," Winter said.
Summer's face drooped like an abandoned puppy after hearing his words. "Is he better than my Daddy? No way. No one could be better than my Daddy." She whined like a baby.
Sadly, she is in her brother's body, and it wasn't as cute as when she was in her own body.
"Stop making that sound with my voice," Winter warned, but this time he made sure to keep his voice softer so that he wouldn't startle this young lady again.
"Mhmm. Anyway, my daddy is the best." She repeated, but she made sure to change her voice, heeding her brother's 'advice'.
"I don't know if Dad is good or not. But if mom doesn't like him, no matter how good he is, I won't let him pester her either. You shouldn't either. Do you understand?" Winter said seriously.
Since he was a child, he had grown up with his mother. They had no one else but each other all their lives. So, he wouldn't do anything that could hurt his mom.
Summer blinked her eyes. She did not agree, nor did she deny his words.
After a long while, she said, "The same goes for Daddy as well."
If her Daddy did not want to be with her Mommy, then she wouldn't force them either.
"Fine." Winter nodded immediately in understanding.
"What exactly might have happened between them?" Summer asked in doubt. Only by knowing the problem would they be able to find the solution to their present predicament.
"I wonder as well. Anyway, until now, they said the other person was dead, so we did not think of this matter. Now that we understand there is a problem, we should find out what the problem was between them. You find it through Mom, and I will try to get something from Dad's side. Okay?" Winter said.
"Mhmm. Okay," Summer nodded obediently.
"Also, we should find a way to change back. There is no way I can live in a woman's body for too long. This is so uncomfortable." Winter said in an irritated voice.
"Hehe," Summer giggled. Wearing men's clothes wasn't uncomfortable to her in any way. Except for not wearing her favorite dresses, she did not mind anything else. Most importantly, she wanted to spend more time with her mommy now that she finally got the chance.
"Stop laughing," Winter gritted his teeth. "Also, why do you have so many pink clothes? Almost all of them have floral designs on them. Don't you have any black clothes?"
"Hehe," She giggled once again. "I love pink and floral designs. I don't like black. It looks so gloomy as if we are attending a funeral. I don't have any black clothes. Anyway, if you want a few black clothes, just buy some. I have cards in my purse. The password is our birthday. You don't have to be stingy while shopping anyway. Daddy gave me so much money for shopping."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Anyway, I will go shopping now. I can't look at these pink clothes anymore."
"Take Clara with you. She is my best friend. If you go shopping without her, she will be sad." Summer said.
"Clara? Oh, you mean that cute girl who always clings to my arm and calls me honey?"
"She calls ME honey. Not you," Summer pouted her lips possessively. Her best friend is hers and hers alone. Not her brothers to share.
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Is it her?"
"Yes."
"Fine. Anything I should remember while talking with her?" he asked.
She explained a few things about her and her best friend to her brother.
"What about your friends? Oh, yes, tell me about Rodger. What does he like? Does he have a girlfriend?" Summer asked about Rodger excitedly. In the past week, she found his name.
