Pressing Buttons

Garrett was trying to press buttons while Soo Jin was just freaking out. They were both sure that something about this elevator had caused them to swap bodies, but had absolutely no clue about how to reverse it. Perhaps the only fortunate break in all this was that the elevator seemed to be stalled; at least the only people they had to deal with while being like this were each other.

After about fifteen minutes of shouting and trying what they could to get some attention or reverse the swap, they both collapsed onto the floor. Soon Jin wanted to discuss what to do if they were stuck like this, but Garrett insisted that they must still have other options to try first. He really didn’t want to resign himself to being a woman, and he tried to suggest they kiss to switch back.

Soo Jin wasn’t exactly comfortable with this, but Garrett said it worked in a movie he saw once. She reluctantly gave in, rationalizing that it was okay to basically be kissing herself. As Garrett closed his eyes and puckered up, he felt like a sparkly prickle on his lips when they kissed. He hoped that was something, but when he opened his eyes, he realized it was only feeling the roughness of his unshaven face. But then they felt a much larger jolt. The kiss hadn’t technically done anything, but it seemed the elevator was moving once more; however, still being stuck in the wrong bodies, this wasn’t necessarily a welcome development.
