“I… it was bad, right?” Reiner asked as he looked at the door where Shane left with Rai following him behind. He was stunned by Shane’s outburst earlier, and he felt that it was a very familiar action. But, because Shane suddenly walked out, his thoughts were interrupted. Then, he recalled what they just talked about. He feels guilty. “I was really bad, right? Because of my curiosity, I almost hurt senior Kaiser.” He said and sighed.They were talking about Kaiser lying, and also to repair the cracked friendship of Victor and Kaiser. But then they discovered Kaiser’s ‘secret’ – that he is cross-dressing, which then prompted him to lie to Victor earlier after Victor confronted him about the girl who Vince picked up last night.“In fact, I really planned to tell your elder brother about this, too, together with you, Raina, and Sheinna.” Reiner continued. “But, what Sheinna said made me realize that I was wrong.” He looked at Vince. “Not just because I am in the right, I have to decide w
Inside the female comfort room.“Damn! I almost got caught by Reiner!” Shane exhaled the breath that he had been holding earlier after he acted upset to escape Reiner’s suspicion of him (as Sheinna) being himself (Shane). Also, if he didn’t end the conversation earlier, Vince and Reiner would delve further about Kaiser’s ‘twin sister’ as long as they find inconsistencies. So, they had to divert Vince and Reiner’s attention to Kaiser actually being a cross-dresser. “What did your brother say?” He asked Rai who followed him because Rai had received a message from Rynier.“Let’s see…” Rai muttered as he took out his mobile phone and read the message that Rynier sent. “He said that their senior Kaiser really has a twin sister!” he exclaimed with his eyes wide in surprise.“What?!” Shane muttered under his breath. “How can that be…?” he asked. “Their temperament doesn’t match!” he said.Rai looked at him. “Well, maybe Vince was really mistaken by that girl’s temperament?” he asked.Shane f
Noonwink residence.The taxi stopped in front of a manor and Kaiser paid the taxi driver before he went out. The taxi sped away, leaving two trails of red light in the dark road. Meanwhile, Kaiser turned and looked at the tall black gate before he slowly approached to ring the doorbell. But, before he could touch the doorbell, the tall gates opened.“Young master Kaiser.” The guard hurriedly greeted in pleasant surprise. He noticed a taxi coming this way until it stopped in front. Then, he was shocked to see Kaiser. “It has been a while.” He muttered.“Philip.” Kaiser nodded and smiled. “It’s been a while, indeed.” He answered as he stepped inside the vicinity. Then, he took a deep breath. “How’s Serena?” he asked.The guard closed the gate before he answered. “She’s been fine, and she’s actually asking me about you.” He said.The two of them chatted as Philip escorted Kaiser to the door, where the butler had been waiting with his eyes red in tears and filled with concern as he watche
Vince, who has just finished cooking his dinner, welcomed an unexpected ‘guest’ that night. In fact, this ‘guest’ is not really a guest, but actually the other owner of the house in which Vince lived alone since he became a middle school student as he has become independent. And he is none other than –“Brother!” Vince exclaimed in surprise when he opened the door and saw that it was Victor who knocked. It is awkward since Victor, who should be another master of the house, naturally didn’t have to knock on his own door.Yet, here Victor is, standing outside the door which is surprising since Victor has been living with Kaiser when they became high school students while Vince was a middle school student. Not only because Vince wanted to become independent from Victor which led to Victor feeling heartbroken and thus needed space and time to nurse his heart, but also because he (Victor) and Kaiser wanted to concentrate on their studies as they were already in high school. "Vincent." Vic
“Uhm… so… what happened?” Rai and Shane asked as they looked at Victor and Kaiser sitting on the bleachers not far from them. But, even with such a distance, they could see the awkward and tense atmosphere between the two.It isn’t like one that would spark electricity. But, it also doesn’t look like one that would explode. It was like a balloon that could pop at any moment, but also could deflate if the air was released. However, the balloon wouldn’t be a balloon if it was deflated or popped, so one would keep the balloon inflated.The tension between Victor and Kaiser is like this incomprehensible and inexplicable balloon. Rai, Shane, Vince, and Reiner wanted to fix the relationship between their two seniors, but then Victor and Kaiser didn’t look like they wanted it to be fixed. But, how can their friendship not be fixed? They were friends, and best friends, for more than three years! Thus, Rai, Shane, Vince, and Reiner are planning to help the two fix their broken friendship, espe
“I asked brother, and brother told me that senior Kaiser talked with him after their morning club practice – “ Vince said as they copied the writings on the blackboard while their teacher momentarily left after a fellow teacher called her to finalize something.“What did senior Kaiser say?” Reiner asked.“Senior Kaiser told my brother… that he (Kaiser) will be returning to his home, the Noonwink residence – “ Vince answered and frowned. “ – thus brother has to live alone in their rented house.” He told them.“WHA - ?!” Rai and Shane, who were silently listening, exclaimed in shock. Fortunately, they held themselves back in time to not disturb their classmates with their noise.“Oh?” Spade muttered and smiled. His eyes twinkled mischievously. “Did your brother tell senior Kaiser, then, that he will also be returning to your home?” he asked Vince.Vince looked at him and nodded. “Yes, he did.” He answered.“Were you there?” Spade suddenly asked.Rai and Shane, as well as Reiner, are pu
“So… senior Kaiser really likes senior Victor?” Reiner whispered as the five of them sat on the grass while they watched the students leave the school after their class ended today.They didn’t immediately go home since they wanted to watch the football club’s afternoon practice, which will start in five minutes. The athletes are now in their club room to change their uniform to their football jersey.Well, they also want to observe Kaiser and Victor and confirm their suspicion that Kaiser and Victor like each other, as they have deduced accidentally earlier because of Spade hinting at them. Which seemed correct after they pondered about Kaiser and Victor’s actions lately.“Brother also… he seems to like Kaiser.” Vince spoke as he looked at Victor who finally appeared in the field together with his teammates – that includes Kaiser, of course.They all fell silent. Because they also found Victor’s behavior to be strange. Kaiser just returned to his home, so why would Victor also return
Rai and Shane don’t know what to say. Stelle’s situation is better than theirs since Stelle only needs to keep a book or a page of book with him and he will remain as a guy. But if he didn’t, he would turn into a girl. Though, as long as he touched a book or a page, he would turn back to a guy. This sounds really lucky compared to Rai and Shane, and even Kaiser. But –“What the heck!” Shane cursed under his breath when he and Rai heard Spade’s answer. Stelle was cursed only because he passed by and the curse hit him?! They felt it was unbelievable.But why would Spade lie to them? Also… they saw ‘Stella’ before. The way she behaved, and her face, is really Stelle! Not to mention that Reiner was there and claimed her as his younger sister – that is, Stelle’s twin sister. But not only Shane knows that Stelle has no twin sister, he also knows whether Reiner is lying or not, as Reiner is a bad liar, and Shane knows Reiner for more than ten years!Stella is really Stelle, no doubt about th
The next day.“So… Cole was actually also a ‘chosen one’ like Spade and Heart?” Rai muttered as they looked at Cole in surprise after Stelle told them everything that Cole confessed to Stelle.In fact, that Friday night, it was supposed to be Stelle who should confess to Cole. And Stelle did, as himself. But before Stelle could confess to Cole as Stella, before Stelle could even escape to change to Stella, Cole suddenly stopped him. And before Stelle could react to ask Cole why did he stop him, Cole suddenly confessed to him, too. Not only of Cole liking him, too, but also Cole as Diamond!One could imagine the shock that Stelle felt that time as he listened to Cole tell him everything, from him being chosen by the ‘gods’ – the King and Queen, up to him meeting Spade and then Heart. But, Spade and Heart don’t know him as Cole, since he appeared before them as just a ball of light.“Yes… I
Midton residence.“What the… hell – “ Rai muttered under his breath as he looked at Vince who was eating his breakfast while seated next to him. A stunned expression is still on Rai’s face while his eyes are wide in disbelief. He really didn’t expect what he heard Vince say to him earlier.“Second is because you are hiding something from me.” Vince said. “It was because last night, you were there as Raina.” He said as he looked at the stunned Rai in the eyes. “You are Raina, Rai. I know everything.” He told him.Rai rubbed his hands on his face, feeling as if he is Harry Potter and Vince is Hagrid earlier as that scene in Sorcerer’s Stone played in his mind where Hagrid told Harry that Harry is a wizard. But jokes aside… &
Compared to the shocking happening on Rai’s side, Shane and Reiner’s meeting is surprisingly calm. Reiner had never found Shane last night, and after a sleepless night, he saw Shane’s message to him this morning telling him to come and meet him. Attached in the message is a location. Reiner then knew that Shane is finally willing to tell him the truth – everything that he has experienced when he was cursed. And he couldn’t thank him more, since he knows how difficult it was for Shane to tell him others about it, including him who he is his lover.Reiner knows that Shane is different from Stelle, who told him about him being cursed. Not only because Reiner is Stelle’s brother, but Stelle is highly dependent on Reiner, too. Stelle is also timid and easily panics, so Stelle immediately told Reiner about him being accidentally cursed. That is why Reiner was surprised that St
But, something unexpected happened on Rai’s side, too. He was just about to eat breakfast after ending his call with Stelle, promising him that he, along with Shane and the others, would see him later. It was then that the butler called him telling him that someone came to see him.“Who is it?” Rai asked as he fixed his clothes to make himself look more presentable.“It was Vincent Dauncy.” The butler answered.Rai’s feet instantly froze when he heard the name. “What?!” he exclaimed. He didn’t expect Vince to come so early this morning. More like, why would Vince come here in the first place?! Is it to find Raina to ask why she confessed to him last night?Rai frowned as he lowered his gaze.
“How did you find out that Raiver was also cursed?” Reiner asked as he and Vince walked around the grove to try looking for Shane in case Shane hasn’t left yet."When I saw Raiver changed, too." Vince answered.Reiner was shocked. "You saw him?!" he exclaimed. “Wait, when?” he asked.“Earlier, when I chased him.” Vince said."But based from your tone, you are convinced before that, that Raiver was cursed.” Reiner said as his forehead knitted.“Yes. And I confirmed it earlier.” Vince explained.“… so it was your suspicion before?” Reiner sighed.Vince looked
Reiner was chasing Shane but because Shane ran into the grove, Reiner was unable to find him for an hour. Shane was really good at hiding, Reiner knows this. So, Reiner can only sigh in defeat and catch his breath.“Reiner.” Vince called from behind him.Reiner turned and saw Vince. He was about to speak, only to freeze when he saw that Vince was holding a black leather shoe. He felt speechless.“Raiver’s?” Reiner spoke, though there is no need to ask. Until now, he still can’t believe that Raina is actually Raiver Midton. But Vince would not lie to him, so he has no choice but to believe it.Vince nodded in affirmation and looked in the direction where Rai disappeared. Reiner didn’t speak and just recalled his and Vince’s
Rai saw Reiner and Shane join them on the dance floor and his heart beat even faster due to nervousness. He saw Spade and the other winked at him, encouraging him. Then, he saw Kaiser who smiled at him, mouthing at him to go for it. But, he didn’t see Stelle. Rai doesn’t know whether Stelle has already confessed to Cole and changed Stella to confess to him againas Stella.Rai turned back to Shane and saw that Shane looked very relaxed. Then, Rai understood that Shane must have let go of all of his worries. Rai can’t help but smile, feeling happy for Shane. His nervousness also disappeared.“Rai?” Vince called when he saw that Rai smiled. “Did something good happen?” he asked.Rai nodded and chuckled. “Yes. I feel very happy.” He answered.
Rai and Shane are sitting on their seats along with Spade who is sitting on Rai’s other side while they stare at the food on the round table. Rynier was sitting beside Spade, while Reiner sat on Shane’s other side. So, among them, it is only Rai and Vince who were separated and are actually seated across from each other. But, they know that Shane and Reiner, and Spade and Rynier, are pairs of couples. They just can’t separate these couples, right?As for Kaiser and Stelle, they have already seen them earlier and are waiting for them to finish talking with their friends and classmates before going to their table to share a table with them. With the presence of the alumni of the school, there is no order in the seating nor the tables except that the area at the front is for the teachers and alumni. Rynier should be with them, but Rynier naturally chose to be with his younger brother Rai and
One month later.“Oh, my gosh! The young miss really looks like the live version of Cinderella!” the makeup artists and hair stylists exclaimed as they looked at the girl in front of them who was standing in front of the mirror, staring at herself.The girl’s hair is tied in a high bun with some of her curled hair locks kissing her cheeks that were blushed red. Her eyelashes are long, fanning her blue eyes as she blinks. Her lips are red like blood, which is a stark contrast to her blue ball gown. But, even if her ball gown is not the same as Cinderella, they still can’t help but think of Cinderella as they look at her. On top of her head is a diamond tiara instead of a blue hairband like Cinderella’s.The girl, who is actually a guy inside, pursed his lips in a forced smile. “Tha
