Midnight Reverse: A Cinderella in the Making Tale 138: Decision
“How the hell can this happen…?” Rai asked and sighed as he and Spade watched Shane leave, looking very dejected, as Shane headed to where Reiner was waiting for him after Reiner texted Shane to meet him.Earlier, just after their class, Shane left to try ‘seducing’ Reiner again and see if he could try the mission. Because he knows that not doing the mission will get him to nothing. It will just be him who will suffer. Also, he knows that the goddess Heart will just do nothing if she knows that they won’t do their missions.And now, after hearing what Spade told him, Shane was really right in his guess. But –“I really can’t do it!” Shane told Spade and Rai as he collapsed on the ground after they went to a hidden area. His tears fell. “Every time I go closer to him, I feel like I am cheating on him even if it is him that I am cheating with!” he said as he covered his face with both his hands. He really wanted to slap himself. “Because I know that it is not me – Shane! I am fully awar
Midnight Reverse: A Cinderella in the Making Tale 139: Chat
“What?!” Stelle and Kaiser exclaimed after Rai told them about the curse becoming stronger when Rai video called them in the wee hours of the morning.Stelle was still sleepy while Kaiser was reviewing his book when Rai called them. Fortunately, the two recalled Rai’s appointment with them, or else Stelle would have already gone off to dreamland while Kaiser was drowned in his sea of knowledge.Upon hearing what Rai said, Stelle fell off his bed and Kaiser knocked his head on the table. Now, the two of them are wide awake.“How… how…?!” Stelle muttered under his breath. His eyes are wide, filled with disbelief.Kaiser took a deep breath to calm himself. “Shane still hasn’t gone home?” he asked when he only saw Spade inside Rai’s room when Shane would also be there.“Yeah. He is still with my brother, who also still isn’t home.” Stelle said and sighed.Rai and Kaiser looked at Stelle. “We heard that you went with Cole earlier?” they asked when they recalled that Shane mentioned it to t

The next morning.“What time did you go back?” Rai asked Shane as he yawned. He waited for Shane to go back until four in the morning but he couldn't hold on anymore and fell asleep.Meanwhile, Spade has already gone to sleep. He often says that he needs to conserve his energy. As for what, Rai doesn’t know and he is not interested to know. Also, Spade has his own secrets and Spade has already told him some of it even if Spade didn’t have to. This shows that Spade trusts him. Rai is not stupid to break that trust. And he is not one to tell someone’s secrets to others, anyway, so Spade’s secrets are safe with him.“I went back to my aunt’s house.” Shane answered.Rai’s yawning froze. “What?!” he was s

Rai felt his ears ringing and his mind turned blank. “What?!” he muttered as his eyes slowly widened in shock after his brain finally processed what Shane said. “You… will do the mission?” He looked at Shane.“Yes.” Shane nodded in affirmation. "I will do the mission." He said. His expression looked solemn. Sadness can also be seen in his eyes. How can he not be sad when he is doing the mission which would go against his conscience?!“Why?!” Rai asked. Why would Shane suddenly do the mission? Shane, who was against the mission, too! He thought as he stared at Shane in disbelief.What happened to Shane which made him change his mind and finally make a decision? Could it be – Rai thought as his pupils shrank and trembled.“I have to.” Shane answered and sighed. “I don’t have any other choice.” He sighed. “If I do the mission, not only will I be able to lift the curse, I feel like I will learn something from this, too. But if I don't, then not only will I not be able to go back to being
Midnight Reverse: A Cinderella in the Making Tale 142: Drink
“Rai?” Vince called when he saw Rai was staring blankly at the vending machine. He watched him stand in front of the vending machine but a minute and a half had already passed, he was still standing there and didn’t move. Fortunately, there was no student who was going to use the vending machine, so no one scolded Rai for being in a daze.Rai heard Vince's voice and he returned to his senses. He turned and saw Vince standing not far from him. “Vince.” He muttered and nodded at him.Vince nodded back. “Something is bothering you?” he asked as he approached him.Rai inwardly sighed. He knows that Vince noticed it, too. “Yeah.” He honestly answered. Since the other has already noticed, then there is no point in hiding it. He will just look stupid.“Is there anything that I can help you with?” Vince asked as he pressed the drink that he noticed that ‘Raina’ likes. He paid it and before he handed it to ‘Raina’, he paused when he recalled that Raiver also liked the orange flavor.Why does V
Midnight Reverse: A Cinderella in the Making Tale 143: Waver
Rai, who didn’t notice Vince’s daze since he had fallen in a daze, too. If you can help me complete my mission, then it would definitely be a great help. He thought and looked at Vince. But, doing the mission will go against his principle to not hurt others. Thus, he can only shake his head. “No… it’s nothing.” He answered. There is nothing that you can do. He thought and sighed. He has already decided that he will not do the mission, so why is he thinking this right now?Could it be – Rai thought as his eyes widened and his pupils shrank. He sharply inhaled. His heart beat wildly. It couldn’t be… that I am wavering?! His mouth fell open in shock as his breathing became labored.Vince was pulled from his thoughts after he heard ‘Raina’s voice. He didn’t think that ‘Raina’ would have the same taste… “Raina?” he called when he noticed that Raina’s face looked pale. “What’s wrong?” he worriedly asked as he immediately pulled the other to sit on the bench. “Okay, take deep breaths…” he to
Midnight Reverse: A Cinderella in the Making Tale 144: Struggle
Damn it! Rai inwardly cursed as he took another big gulp of his favorite orange canned drink. Even though there is only one con, it is such a heavy reason that is equal, or overweighs the pros, okay?! Rai felt like he just came back to square one, which is really frustrating. It feels like he hasn't made any progress… like nothing has changed at all! Why would we think of the advantages of doing the mission only to be hit by the disadvantage, which is just only one but overweighs them all?!“Rai…” Vince called and inwardly sighed when he saw the heavy expression on Rai’s face. He can see that the other is struggling internally. Struggling with what, he doesn’t know. All he knows is that it must be something very important.Vince can see that Rai is a carefree person, just like Raiver*. It is understandable since Rai grew up in a comfortable environment. Even if his parents are absent, Raiver has his elder brother Rynier to dote on him. It is already good that Raiver didn’t grow up cro
Midnight Reverse: A Cinderella in the Making Tale 145: Message
Vince sighed in relief after he received Spade’s reply. It would be good if Spade could help Rai in his internal struggle, since an internal struggle is one of the hardest and most complicated matters that one has to face and solve. One may not even have the courage to face it, while one may have the courage to face the problem yet can’t find a solution. So, in the end, they will still be drowning in that problem as long as they can’t solve it.This is what Vince doesn’t want Rai to face, since Vince has already gone through it once when he found out about Kaiser’s ‘twin sister’ Kaila, and when Victor and Kaiser’s relationship turned to a romantic one. Vince was torn whether to confront Kaiser or not about his ‘cross-dressing’. Vince also is still trying to adapt to the change in the nature of Victor and Kaiser’s relationship. And Vince can tell you that it was really very hard to do. That is why Vince didn’t force Rai earlier to open up to him about his problem.“Reiner?” Vince mutte

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… &
Midnight Reverse: A Cinderella in the Making Tale 179: Honesty
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
Midnight Reverse: A Cinderella in the Making Tale 178: Know
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.
Midnight Reverse: A Cinderella in the Making Tale 177: Solved
“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
Midnight Reverse: A Cinderella in the Making Tale 176: Truth
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
Midnight Reverse: A Cinderella in the Making Tale 175: Opportunity
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.
Midnight Reverse: A Cinderella in the Making Tale 174: Moment
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
Midnight Reverse: A Cinderella in the Making Tale 173: Plan
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
