Tale 140: Indecisive
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

Reiner doesn’t want to think about the worst. But Reiner can’t just help but freak out since he doesn’t know where to find his lover. Because Shane didn’t tell him where to find him. So, Reiner is frantic to find where he could find Shane. He already sent Raiver a message asking Raiver if he would know where Shane could be. But Raiver hasn’t replied yet. Raiver must be busy right now.It is shameful to say, but Reiner has to ask other people where his lover could be. However, this is all that Reiner could do right now, since no matter how much he wanted to find Shane, he doesn’t even know where to start looking. So, all he can do is ask Raiver, and even Rynier to help him find Shane.“Raiver…” Reiner muttered when he recalled something.Vince started when he heard Raiver’s name. He subconsciously raised his head and turned to look, but he didn’t see Raiver anywhere. It was then that he realized that Reiner spoke Raiver’s name because Reiner recalled something regarding Raiver.“What i

Reiner: Shane, whatever problem that you have, just remember that I will always be here for you, okay? I love you.Shane’s tears fell as he leaned the back of his head on the cold wall before he hugged his knees. He felt cold, but Reiner’s words made his heart feel warm. He may have already decided to do the mission, but it just hurts when you try to distance yourself to the one that you love.The door of the comfort room opened and footsteps can be heard approaching Shane.“You, too…” it was Spade. “Why did you and Rai do this at the same time?” he asked and then sighed.“Rai…” Shane muttered. His voice is nasally due to him crying. “What’s wrong with Rai?” he asked.

“Rai!” Shane called as he ran toward Rai after he and Spade found Rai by the lake. “Rai! How are you? Why are you here?” he asked as he squatted next to Rai, who was sitting on the ground while hugging his knees where he rested his chin as he stared at the surface of the lake.Rai didn’t answer and just continued to look at the lake where the ripples could be seen on its surface after a gentle breeze blew.“Rai…?” Shane called.Rai closed his eyes before he sighed. “Shane. Spade.” He muttered as he looked at the two.Shane nodded. “Yes, it’s us.” He said. “What happened to you? Why did you come here?” he asked Rai.If it was the usual, Rai would have already retorted with the words ‘am I not allowed to be here?’ with his eye roll. But, this is not the usual.“I… want to have some space… some time to think.” Rai answered.Shane fell silent since he also did the same thing. He went to the comfort room where it is silent and he is alone. Because silence makes one feel calm and it also gi
