“You are together?!” Stelle exclaimed after he heard what his elder brother Reiner said. “Not with Sheinna… but Shane?!” he asked, feeling shocked as he looked at his elder brother standing in front of him. His eyes are as wide as saucers, and are filled with disbelief. How can this be?! How can my brother and Shane be together?! He thought, feeling shocked. They are friends! Best friends! So how can they be together?! His mouth fell open. Even though he had seen Reiner and Shane dance together earlier on the dance floor, he thought that it was between friends joking with each other. Many students also do that just for fun, and it also gives entertainment to the audience which makes the atmosphere livelier. Anyway, Reiner and Shane have been friends since they were children. So, Stelle didn’t see anything strange with Reiner and Shane dancing together. After all, they are almost brothers of the same blood. They are even closer than the real brothers, between him (Stelle) and Reiner,
"Reiner told his younger brother about the two of you?!" Rai exclaimed when he heard what Shane said. Today is a weekend and their rest day. After their acquaintance party, Shane went home with Rai and Rynier after unwillingly declining Reiner's offer to ride home as they are neighbors, too. It was because Shane's time to turn back to a girl is about to end, and Reiner can't know that he is Sheinna. Thus, Shane can only be heartless and lied to Reiner that he has some things left at Rai's house thus he has to go back to Rai’s house.As to why Reiner, although feels jealous, is not threatened with Rai being close to Shane, it is because everyone knows that Rai likes girls and not guys. So Rai definitely will not go after Shane. Also, Reiner trusts Shane very much as his lover. It is only him, Reiner, who Shane lies to.Shane sighed as he nodded in affirmation. "Yes, that's right." He answered as he looked at Reiner's text message in a daze. Reiner: I am really sorry, Shane. I told St
“Come on, now, Shane.” Shane’s aunt helplessly sighed as she looked at her troublemaker nephew. “Don’t fight just because Reiner is handsome like you.” She told him. She knows that although Shane is playful, he is not bad and is not a bully.But, Shane is narcissistic. He doesn’t like that there is another person better than him, especially someone of his age. He also doesn’t like being compared with others, and Shane’s aunt regrets it now. She momentarily forgot about this because she is excited to see her neighbor’s kid.Shane puffed up his cheeks as he stared at Reiner. “Your name is Reiner?” he asked as he stood in front of Reiner.Reiner looked at Shane. Just when Shane and his aunt thought that Reiner wouldn’t answer, Reiner nodded his head. Finally, there is a reaction!“I am Shane.” Shane spoke as he raised his hand for a handshake.Reiner looked at Shane’s hand for a while before he also raised his hand. Shane took Reiner’s hand and shook it. Then, Shane released Reiner’s han
Shane smiled when he first met Reiner’s parents. They are very kind and warm elders. He also met Stelle, but he was still a baby. So, Stelle doesn’t remember when Shane arrived. What Stelle only knows is that Shane has always been with Reiner.“I naturally wish that they would accept me.” Shane spoke. “Not only as Reiner’s best friend, but also Reiner’s lover. But that is impossible, right?” he said and looked at Rai.Rai declined to answer. “We never know.” He just said. “And I am not them.” He added.Shane laughed. He knows that Rai is comforting him and refuses to answer since he doesn’t want to hurt his feelings.“Right. Speaking of liking men – “ Rai muttered when he recalled something, and also changed the topic.“Yes?” Shane replied.“My brother also likes men.” Rai said.Shane’s smile froze on his face. Then, his eyes slowly widened in shock. “Rynier also likes men?!” he exclaimed in surprise when he heard what Rai said about his elder brother. It is really surprising. After a
Why would they? Shane has someone he likes that is why he doesn’t want to do his mission. Meanwhile, Rai doesn’t want to seduce guys to fall in love with him. Not only because this is immoral – that is, playing with someone’s feelings. But this is also because Rai is attracted to girls only. So why would he seduce guys?Setting aside that this is for them to return to their real self as guys, but as Rai said, this is immortal because this is playing with someone’s feelings. Even though Rai is not attracted to guys, he also has his conscience, okay? Feelings are the worst to play with. And he may be a hypocrite to say this since he is a playboy who plays with girls’ feelings. But, wasn’t he already punished for that by cursing him to turn to a girl?And speaking of this, since he was cursed in the first place by playing with the girls’ feelings, why would he seduce guys and make them fall in love with him in return for him to break his curse? Isn’t this just repeating what he did in th
(A/N: just a reminder, this is a work of fiction, and everything that was written here are all opinions of me, so please don’t take everything seriously. *bows)“As a playboy myself, who never treated the relationships with my girlfriends as relationships – “ Rai spoke as he casually laid his whole body down on the couch while pillowing his arm as he looked up at the ceiling. He recalled his life as a playboy. “ – but they are still a part of my romantic life experience, so, I advise you who is also a playboy but only as a façade – “ he looked at Shane whose face turned red in shame and guilt because Shane knows he just used his past ‘girlfriends’ as a tool to make Reiner jealous.But in the end, Shane failed. That must have been his retribution. And now he was also cursed, as this is another retribution.“ – a relationship only works when two people give their effort for their relationship to work.” Rai told Shane.Shane sat up straight and listened attentively to Rai. “Go ahead.” He
(A/N: just a reminder, this is a work of fiction, and everything that was written here are all opinions of me, so please don’t take everything seriously. *bows)“What is it?” Shane asked as he looked at Rai when the other called him. Then, he froze when he saw Rai’s serious expression. He rarely sees Rai wear this kind of expression.What Rai is going to say next is important and not just what nonsense that Rai is spouting always as he joked or when he casually deals with things. Rai took a deep breath as he pondered. “There are many factors why a pair of lovers would fall out of love with each other.” He spoke as he rested his other arm on his stomach. “One is the long-distance relationship.” He said. "'long-distance relationship'?" Shane muttered as he ruminated the three words. These words… It is the same for me and my family, right? He thought since he is currently living with his aunt while his family is in another country.Rai looked at him. “You should have watched romantic m
Monday.“A loophole?” Shane muttered as he and Rai walked towards their classroom.Rai nodded in affirmation. “Yes. A loophole.” He muttered. “I was thinking about it this weekend when you were on a date with Reiner.” He spoke. “When my brother came back, I shared some of my thoughts with him and he found a loophole in our mission… in our curse.” He explained.“What loophole?” Shane immediately asked.“That is, the goddess didn’t tell us that we can’t tell others about our curse.” Rai answered. “Of course, it is a different matter if others found out about it. Just like what happened to me and my brother, and the servants in our residence.” He said. “They found out about my curse.” He told Shane. “It was just us who assumed that we can’t tell others about our curse.” He sighed.Shane nodded in understanding. “But… we can actually tell others about our curse?” he said.“But I don’t think it is that simple.” Rai spoke. “In my case, my brother and the servants noticed what was happening
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
