Two middle-aged men.Two different lives.One mistake. One night, something goes wrong.They wake up in each other’s lives.Not bodies.Lives. Different country.Different language.Different people depending on them. No explanation.No reason.Just a life that isn’t theirs. And the longer they live it—the more something feels wrong.Because in another man’s life,they begin to see it.The truth.What they were running from. And when this ends—what will be left of them? Author’s Note:“Ossan” is a casual Japanese word for a middle-aged man.This story was originally written in Japanese and is also available on Kakuyomu. The English version is translated with the help of AI, so please forgive any awkward phrasing. I hope you enjoy the story. 《Updated Mon / Thu / Sat》
