“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
“Victor!” Kaiser cried and crawled towards Victor. Meanwhile, their teammates who were also shocked immediately ran to check on Victor as their coach hurriedly called for an ambulance.“Brother!” Vince cried and ran to Victor who was groaning in pain as he couldn't move after his back hit the goalpost.“Oh, no!” Shane cried as he, Rai, Reiner, and Spade immediately followed.“How did this happen?” Rai asked as he and Shane weren’t paying attention to the practice because they were busy chatting with Spade, extracting some information from the other.Reiner also saw them chatting but he wasn’t angry. After all, they are ‘girls’ so it is natural for them to not be interested in a sports club practice. “Senior Kaiser became the goalkeeper of the other team since the goalkeeper suddenly sprained his ankle. Then, when he was about to catch the ball, senior Victor suddenly rushed and pushed senior Kaiser to the side.” He answered.They watched Victor being carefully carried on a stretcher t
“Fortunately, senior Victor is fine!” Shane sighed in relief after Vince called Rai to tell them about the doctor’s diagnosis of Victor. “Health is wealth! Health is wealth!” he said and smiled widely.Rai, Reiner, and Spade nodded in agreement while Kaiser, who heard what Vince said from the other line, heaved a sigh of relief. His heart that has been hanging due to worry finally fell and calmed down. He was really stunned earlier when Victor’s back hit the goalpost. He really thought that Victor would have… he immediately shook his head to remove these negative thoughts.As the nurse of the infirmary said, Victor’s spine was not broken but his muscle tissues were hurt. That big bruise on his back that they saw earlier after the nurse in the infirmary lifted Victor’s jersey is not just for a show. Thus, Victor has to take a rest until the bruise on his back not only does not hurt anymore, but also would be gone. And this needs to be applied by medicine regularly for the pain and the
Victor looked at his and Kaiser’s rented house and took a deep breath as his heart was filled with emotions. Even though it was just a day that he was gone, he felt like it had been a decade since he last saw their rented house. This is his and Kaiser’s rented house. Both of them paid the rent using the money that they saved from their part-time jobs. Yes, they didn’t rely on their families to pay the rent, as this house is their own matter. They wanted to be independent to train themselves into becoming an adult – also known as the working class.And now, they are proud since they are close to paying off this house after the original owners sold the house to them since the children of the original owners will take them abroad to live there permanently. Victor and Kaiser agreed since they also liked the location and the structure of the house. The price is also reasonable, and they can earn enough to pay it.“Brother?” Vince called as he and Kaiser helped in lifting Victor’s wheelchai
“Then, we’ll go home now. My brother is still waiting for me at home!” Rai said after they have settled Victor and his wheelchair as well as his other things that they brought back from the hospital.“Thank you, Rai.” Kaiser and Victor said. They paused, then looked at each other when they realized that they spoke at the same time. They looked away then, avoiding each other’s gaze.Rai grinned as he looked at Kaiser and Victor. Kaiser saw his grin and knew that Rai had already found out that he (Kaiser) likes Victor. Then Kaiser looked at Shane and Spade, who were similarly grinning while looking at him and Victor with teasing gazes. Kaiser’s lip twitched, knowing that the cat is out of the bag*. He knows that these juniors of his are playing as his and Victor’s matchmakers!Kaiser inwardly sighed, feeling helpless. He now knows that the reason why Vince asked him to look after his (Vince) elder brother Victor is not only due to convenience that he (Kaiser) and Victor are classmates s
The next morning.“Heh… this sickening sweet atmosphere as if you could see the pink bubbles in the air with a sparkling shiny background…!” Shane muttered and frowned as he looked at Victor and Kaiser arrive in the school cafeteria. “Really sickening…!” he said and acted vomiting as if he was disgusted. But, there is a smile in his eyes.Shane is obviously happy for Victor and Kaiser’s reconciliation, as all they are, especially Vince who keeps sighing in relief after he has seen with his own eyes that his elder brother Victor and Kaiser have really reconciled. Because Vince felt the most guilty with what happened between Victor and Kaiser. Because of him mistaking that ‘girl’ who he picked up that night instead of Kaiser as Kaiser himself due to ‘her’ and him looking very similar and ‘she’ was even wearing Kaiser’s uniform with ‘her’ bearing the same temperament as Kaiser, Victor confronted Kaiser about it which led to Victor feeling upset of Kaiser who hid his family from him.So V
“We’re going to tell Stelle that we are cursed, too, like him this Friday?” Rai muttered when he heard what Shane told him as they wrote down some notes while listening to their teacher.“Uh-uh!” Shane answered as he nodded his head. “Kaiser said that he will invite us to dinner this Friday since he and Victor were given a rest day together by their coach in the football club.” He said.Victor was injured thus Victor can’t practice football right now but Kaiser can. So, instead of going home, Victor remained in the school after class to watch the football team practice. Though, Vince, Rai, Shane, Reiner, and Spade know that Victor remained only for Kaiser. Well, it is also understandable since Kaiser is the one looking after him… ok, this is just an excuse. Everyone can see that Victor and Kaiser are ambiguous, which really shocked them since the two are known to be playboys…Well, in fact, Victor and Kaiser are the most famous playboys! Especially that Raiver Midton and Shane Fornite
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
