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
“So, you actually know about my brother’s people sneaking around your house?” Rai spoke as he and Spade walked back home to exercise. But, the Midton’s family guards are secretly following behind them to ensure their safety.As for Shane? He already left to turn back to a guy and have a date again with Reiner. As for Vince… he went home already to avoid his elder brother and Kaiser since he still feels awkward toward the two. Reiner, on the other hand, left to wait for Shane in their meeting place.Thus, Rai was left alone with Spade, which is actually convenient since Rai has something to talk with Spade. And it is about Rynier – the man who ties the both of them as a younger brother (Rai) and a lover (Spade).“Well… not really a ‘house’, but the apartment complex… whatever you call that is.” Rai said and sighed, giving up.Spade smiled. “Of course, I know.” He answered. “And it is not only for my security, but also to catch Heart, right?” he said. He didn’t need to guess, since the
Rai’s eyes are wide as he stared at Spade in shock when he realized that the club that he went to that night that he was cursed by Heart should be the same club that Shane went to with Heart to date her when Shane was still a playboy that time, but then was cursed by Heart, too!“That club… is the Club of you Four, whatever you call yourselves are… right?” Rai asked as he looked at Spade in the eyes. Gone was his uncertainty and now, his voice is filled with conviction despite what he was asking. It is as if the answer to his question is a ‘yes’.Though Spade didn’t disappoint him as the other didn’t leave him hanging. “Clever… really very clever.” Spade muttered and smiled as he turned to a guy, including his clothes changing from a girl’s clothes to a guy’s clothes.Rai’s eyes widened as he looked at him, stunned. It is because Rynier has always been describing to him before how the guy that he slept with, and also fell in love with, looked like. Also… Rynier has drawn a portrait of
“Rai?” Shane called when he saw that Rai was spacing out. “Rai!” he called as he tapped the other on the shoulder.Rai blinked and slowly turned to Shane. “What’s the matter?” he asked.Shane rolled his eyes at Rai. “Geez! What the hell is wrong with you people?!” he asked and sighed. Everyone is just in a daze lately.First, it was Vince who was in a daze, and until now. It is because he doesn’t know how to overcome his awkwardness of seeing his elder brother not only with a guy, but also with his own best friend. Vince was used to seeing Victor and Kaiser as best friends. Yet now, the two are about to become lovers in only a matter of time.Then now, it was Rai who was spacing out. Shane doesn’t know why Rai is spacing out, and also doesn’t know whether Rai would tell him about it. After all, the two of them are now best friends from being ‘rivals’ as playboys before back when they were in middle school. Thus, Shane is hoping that Rai would tell him what is bothering him. Because Sh
Friday.The bell rang and echoed in the hallways of the school signifying the end of today’s classes. It was four and three quarters, and the parking lot of the school was already full of expensive and shiny cars with the drivers standing on the side, waiting for the students who they were fetching before sending them home.Inside the classroom, Rai, Shane, and Spade are chatting when they were approached by their female classmate who overheard their conversation.“Wow! You’re going to senior Victor and senior Kaiser’s home! That’s great!” Their female classmate said, can’t hide the envy in her voice and eyes as she looked at Rai, Shane, and Spade who were preparing to leave. “I have been crushing on senior Victor and senior Kaiser and I can’t choose between them…” she said, looking very shy. Even though female students have openly conveyed their feelings toward Victor and Kaiser, there are still some who are conservative.Victor and Kaiser are very good-looking, thus many girls flock
“Uh – uh.” Shane nodded in affirmation as he, Reiner, Rai, Spade, and Vince walked out of the high school department building and walked toward the middle school department building where Stelle and Cole are.“Uhm, although I feel happy that senior Victor and senior Kaiser invited Stelle for this sudden gathering, do you know the reason behind it?” Reiner asked.“The reason behind the gathering – “ Shane spoke. “ – or the reason behind why the two seniors would invite a student… oh, two students from the middle school department?” he said.“Well, both.” Reiner answered. Even though he seemed carefree, he is not dumb. He was really surprised, as well as feeling happy that he will be invited for a gathering by their two seniors. But he has already racked his brains and he can’t still think of the reason why would their two seniors invite Stelle and Cole to their gathering?Reiner, Rai, Shane, and Spade being Vince’s classmates and Vince is the younger brother of Victor is a reason to in
“What?!” Reiner and Shane exclaimed when they heard what Vince said. Rai was forced to comfort Vince?! They thought.“Why would she force herself to comfort you?” Reiner asked as he looked at Vince with his eyes wide in shock. So it wasn’t me who Rai is referring to, but Vince! He thought when he realized it. It is because Vince thought that Rai was forcing himself to comfort him, but it is not!That is why Rai said earlier that someone is acting self-important when he should not be!Shane’s lip twitched as he looked at Vince. “Vince. No one is forcing himself or herself here, since we are all friends.” He explained to Vince. Though, this is a lie since he knows Rai well. And that is Rai was upset because no one can force him to do anything!Rai was really spoiled by his elder brother Rynier. But, Shane doesn’t hate Rai nor Rynier, nor he envies Rai who is willful and so carefree. It is because this is Rai’s privilege as Rynier’s younger brother. And Rynier has the strength to protect
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
