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
“It is still Reiner… it can only be Reiner!” Shane said and sighed as he, Rai, and Spade threw pebbles on the lake and watched the pebbles stumble upon the surface of the water for two or three times before they finally sank.What Shane meant is that his target – the person that he will fall in love with, would only be Reiner, even if he is in another identity.“I am not surprised.” Rai muttered and threw another pebble. After all, it was only Reiner who Shane loved. If Shane would fall in love for the second time, it can only be with Reiner.“And I will do my best not to make Reiner fall for me as Sheinna!” Shane said as he clutched the pebble tightly on his hand. How bad would it be if Reiner would fall for him as Sheinna? Not only would he lose Reiner, but it would also leave a bad taste on his mouth since Reiner would have cheated on him. After all, despite him asking for some space from Reiner, they are not yet officially over.In short, they haven’t had a breakup yet, so if Rein
Since their mission is to make someone fall in love with them, or as Spade told Rai and Shane – to fall in love with someone, either way, there must be a target: either for the target to fall in love with them, or for you to fall in love with the target. Or else, who will they fall in love with, or will they fall in love with? A plant? An object? Worse, an animal?Anyway, Shane, who has finally made his decision, already has a target who is none other than his lover Reiner. Even if Reiner is already Shane’s lover, their mission states that they have to use their female identities which they got after they were cursed to turn into a girl as their punishment for playing with the girls’ feelings before. In short, they just reaped what they have sown. So, Shane, who chose the second option which is to fall in love with the target, would rather fall in love with Reiner than anyone else, even if he is in his female identity.As for Kaiser, along with Stelle, even though they have the goddes
“Hey, it seems that Vince is really going to us! He looked our way!” Shane told Rai and Spade when he saw that Vince looked at them three who were in the lake area.“But why would he come here?” Rai nervously asked as his cheeks flushed red. He never thought that he would be charmed by Vince and he would fall for Vince. The person aside… he doesn’t even expect that he would fall for a guy!Rai should’ve seen it from the start. He might have avoided it before and also denied it, but he can’t hide the fact that he was really charmed by Vince. Vince is very kind, not to mention sincere. He is also good-looking. So, who wouldn’t fall for Vince? Even if it wasn’t Vince’s intention to charm people, and wasn’t even aware of his charms… still, Rai was unable to escape from Vince’s charm.Shane turned to look at Rai and smiled. “Who knows? Maybe he came for you?” he said. His gaze was teasing as he watched Rai’s face slowly turn red.Spade looked at them two – one teasing while the other was b
When Rai, Shane, Spade, and Vince entered the classroom, they saw Reiner sitting on his seat with his head lowered as he scribbled on the back of his notebook. Vince walked toward Reiner and patted the other’s back while Rai, Shane, and Spade looked at each other before they slowly walked back to their seats. It is obvious that Reiner looked upset, and the reason why he is upset is none other than Shane.Shane knows this and he secretly sighed, thinking on how he could cheer up Reiner. After all, he has hurt Reiner again, and Shane knows that there will still be a next time that this will happen again, even though he is unwilling for this to happen. He couldn’t stop it, like how can he not stop the curse from becoming stronger.Rai could understand this and patted Shane’s shoulder to comfort him. He can’t do anything with Shane’s current situation aside from supporting Shane with whatever Shane’s decision that he would make. He will also give him advice if Shane needs it. But right no
Truly unbelievable! This is what everyone is thinking as they stare at Spade. They are as shocked as Reiner, who was the one being told of what he looked like right now. Of course, it is good to be honest. But sometimes, honesty also has its advantages, just like right now where Reiner looked depressed. And with Reiner being told that he looked depressed, Reiner’s depression that he is feeling might increase since Reiner, although feeling depressed, actually doesn’t want others to know, as well as to see, that he is depressed.Yet Spade told him that! Spade outed him of what he is feeling right now. Fortunately, Reiner didn’t get angry since Reiner is not only friends with Spade, Reiner also knows that it was him who is being too obvious that he is brooding on something. So, Reiner doesn’t blame Spade, nor is he angry at Spade.“Well… you are right.” Reiner finally admitted. “I don’t feel well.” He just said.“Oh. Then you go to infirmary if you can’t take it.” Spade told him, acting
“And by that, I mean – “ Rai took a very deep breath as he broke the news to Shane. “ – we have to fall in love with ourselves being completely aware that we are girls.” He stared at Shane who was stunned. “We have to fall in love as Raina and Sheinna.” He told Shane.Shane’s mouth fell open in shock, but no words came out of his lips. He naturally knows that they have to fall in love as girls to their targets. And he thought that it would be easy, that as long as he is aware that he is Sheinna when he falls in love with Reiner, that would be it. But listening to Rai, it seems as if their mission has more meaning to it.And that is, from what he understood from Rai’s words – “It seems… that we have to make Raina and Sheinna… as real people?” he asked as he looked at Rai, who nodded with a solemn expression on his face.“This… is what I realized during my internal struggle.” Rai said. “That for us to fall in love with our targets, it isn’t just simply by thinking that we are Raina and
The door of the infirmary slowly and quietly opened, revealing Sheinna who went inside.The nurse looked up before a smile appeared on her face when she saw who it was. “Sheinna!” she muttered as she approached the ‘girl’. She really feels pleased whenever she sees good-looking people, and she can say that Sheinna is one of the top people who looks beautiful. “What’s wrong? Do you feel ill that’s why you came here?” she asked in concern.Sheinna nodded. “Yes.” ‘She’ answered before ‘she’ looked around the infirmary until ‘her’ gaze fell on Reiner, who was lying on the bed at the end, just beside the window.“Is it a headache or menstrual cramps?” the nurse asked as she led Sheinna, who is actually Shane,
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
