The faces of the world in 2196 have changed to absolute physical perfection, so much so that some argue the name Homo sapiens sapiens no longer applies. It's been over 120 years since Nu products were first introduced by Swiss-based PAX Pharma and the fallout has touched every life. The global changes have fueled protests, begun wars and toppled economies.
Kang Daesung is a young man from South Korea with the dream to sing hope and joy into people's lives. But he is a throwback, a Nuject, someone for whom the drugs, the treatments and even the genetic modifications simply didn't work. Now Daesung is in the hospital again and it's his last chance to claim the life of his dreams.
The Inspiration: Kang Daesung, singer for the K-Pop group BigBang, is often teased for his looks, called the 'ugly one' and too-often the subject of backhanded compliments on Korean TV. I find this preposterous because seeing him just walk down the street would make me look twice. The Twilight Zone episode Eye of the Beholder originally aired in November 1960. It tells a tale of physical imperfection that has an unexpected twist (duh! It's TZ). This tragic tale is what happens when the absurdity of the former meets the latter in this writer's mind.

Mission: Make Him Smile ~ Choi Seunghyun
A sunshine girl. A stone-faced genius. One mission that just might change everything. Nora Johns believes in smiles, sparkles, and second chances. The chirpy, creative girl with a heart full of glitter is the type to write strangers' names in her journal just because they looked sad. So when she gets paired with Choi Seunghyun-the top student with the icy stare, sharp tongue, and absolutely zero facial expressions-for a semester-long mentorship project, she sees it as more than bad luck. She sees it as a mission. Operation: Make Him Smile. Seunghyun doesn't care for bubbly girls or forced friendships. He prefers his silence, his books, and his hoodie pulled over his head. But Nora... she's loud. She's weird. She's everywhere. And somehow, she's always trying to make him laugh-with terrible jokes, cheesy pick-up lines, or glitter-stuffed sticky notes in his textbook. What starts off as a silly game becomes something more when Nora learns that Seunghyun's frown might be hiding something heavier than just grumpiness. And as Seunghyun begins letting her in-grudgingly, clumsily-he starts to realize that maybe, just maybe, the girl he once found annoying is the light he didn't know he needed. A heart-fluttering story of sunshine and shadows, late-night texts, accidental hand brushes, and a smile worth falling for.Complete

~~ Park Sungho was literally everything Taesan had hoped for, the personification of perfection, an exemplary student, as kind and polite as a member of royalty. And Taesan hates that Sungho is too handsome and sweet for him to ignore. ~~ Han Taesan was nothing like Sungho expected. He expected a worthy opponent, but received a mess of surprise and confusion, with a high probability of having a criminal record. Sungho hates that Taesan doesn't care about anything, not even himself. After a meteorological phenomenon that only they felt - or a possible alien abduction -, Han Taesan and Park Sungho wake up in each other's bodies and now need to 'live' in the body of the person they hate the most - or are madly in love with - until they stop fighting and try to understand each other. But what they don't know is that there is a magical connection between them so beautiful and so special that the universe wants to interfere before it's too late. The thread that unites them is a tangle that can break at any moment and the moon simply wants to protect it ♡ ~~ English is not my first language so there are probably a lot of mistakes here. I'm so sorry! Song suggestions for this reading: ~ Adore U - Seventeen I really hope you enjoy reading this!!! ♡ ♡ ♡ Thanks ♡ XOXO ♡Complete
