As if hearing the wishes in their hearts, Rai and Shane saw the door of the apartment unit slowly open before them, revealing a girl with long, black hair up to the waist and her skin is so fair. Her lips are red, and her eyes are round and bright. Her nose is also tall. The four of them were stunned when they saw her, because she is so good-looking that she can be an actress or a model.Rai and Shane suddenly have a thought… instead of Shane, the girl before them should have been the one who acted as Snow White in their stage play during their acquaintance party. But, a thought is just a thought. They naturally can’t voice it out loud since it would be rude to the girl, albeit they are currently girls.“Heart… Twilight?” Rai called as he looked at the girl who could be Heart Twilight – as well as a guy in a girl’s body which he and Shane suspected. His voice is filled with uncertainty as he stared at the girl before them and noticed the resemblance to the female student who acted as
It is exactly what Rai and Shane are thinking when they also hear Heart Twilight’s answer to Vince’s question. Heart Twilight, who they suspect to be related to the goddess who cursed them, made Rai and Shane feel more suspicious of ‘her’ with the words she just said which are ‘be close to people’. When they heard these words, they felt like Heart Twilight is implying as if she is not a person like them! Or else, why would she say 'to people' and not 'to others (people)'? So, is she really not (a person) like them? Rai and Shane thought as they watched Heart Twilight copy their notes as they ate their snacks and drink some refreshments which the manager of this apartment has personally sent to them as they chat between them classmates. Reiner also felt that the words of Heart Twilight sound weird, but he is more concerned with his classmate’s well-being right now. “But… but you are willing to study in our school, right?” he asked Heart Twilight.Heart Twilight didn’t raise her head
“Yes, you are right.” A voice that is filled with pride spoke from behind them followed by clapping. “Good! Wise words! I didn’t know that my Raiv… my Raina could be a philosopher!” the person said.Everyone turned and looked at the person in surprise. “Mr. Rynier!” they exclaimed when they saw Rynier standing by the doorway.Rai secretly sighed. He knows that sooner than later, his elder brother will come here for Heart Twilight. “Brother.” he called and rose from his seat before walking towards Rynier who suddenly arrived.Neither Shane, Reiner, nor Vince asked why Rynier would be here, especially in Heart Twilight’s apartment unit. Not to mention that this apartment building is owned by their family – the Midton family, Shane, Reiner, and Vince have seen Rynier dance with Heart Twilight last Friday during their acquaintance party. And Rynier even partnered with Heart Twilight during the stage play as Heart Twilight’s prince – Ariel’s prince, who is prince Eric. So, they have guesse
Rai and Shane stared at Heart Twilight, waiting for his answer. Rynier is also waiting, since not only he wanted to confirm whether or not Heart Twilight has a connection with the goddess Heart whom he, Rai, and Shane are looking for, but also Rynier wanted to confirm if Heart Twilight has a family. Because he wanted to know that the guy that he likes is real.Rynier naturally knows that it is impossible to believe for a person to just suddenly disappear without a trace. No matter how long that was, they should have left a trace in this world even if it was so hard to find. And for Rynier who has become a powerful man, this search became more impossible to believe – that is, for a person to disappear.Yet it was real. Rynier has never found even a clue, no matter how small, regarding the person that he has made love with before. Until last Friday, when the said person finally showed up. Though in a very unexpected way – that is, as a girl! But Rynier can recognize him, even if there a
“Finally, he left!” Shane sighed in relief as soon as the door of Heart Twilight’s apartment unit closed after Vince left.After Reiner left due to Stelle calling him, Vince remained, but only until seven in the evening since his elder brother told him to pick him up after the soccer club was finished with their meeting. Thus, Vince left, leaving Rai, Shane, and Rynier behind in Heart Twilight’s apartment unit.Rai and Shane looked at each other, and then at Heart Twilight who Rynier has been staring at since earlier. “Shall we?” they muttered as they rose from the couch and sat on the side of Heart Twilight.This made them surrounding Heart Twilight. It is because they are just avoiding an accident to happen in case Heart Twilight changes his mind to confess to them.“Heart Twilight.” Rai called, ignoring his elder brother Rynier who continues to stare at Heart Twilight. “Is this really your name?” he asked as he watched Heart Twilight finish copying another subject notebook that he
The next day.“So… we have to fall in love ourselves instead of making someone fall in love with us?” Shane muttered as he and Rai walked towards their classroom. His face scrunched up when he remembered what Heart Twilight… ah, no, Spade told them yesterday after they asked him if there is another way for them to break the curse without making someone fall in love with them.There really is, but Spade said that is for them to fall in love with someone.Last night.“Can you tell us if there is another way to break this curse on us, aside from the mission that your sister gave us?” Shane asked Spade, whose name is ‘Heart Twilight’ when he was a girl, like now. He is their transferee classmate.“There is.” Spade answered.Their eyes widened in shock. “There is?! Really?!” they exclaimed. “What is it?!” they asked Spade, looking ecstatic.How can they not be ecstatic? Not only is this a way to break their curse, but this is also a way where they won’t be able to hurt anyone or do somethi
“Hey, you’re finally here!” The Class 1-A students greeted ‘Heart Twilight’, whose real name is Spade, when they saw him with Rai and Shane, who introduced him as their ‘female’ transferee classmate who acted as Ariel in their stage play during their acquaintance party last Friday. “Welcome to Class 1-A!” they said with bright and warm smiles on their faces.Spade smiled back, feeling warm in his heart. “Thank you very much!” he said. “I will be in your care!” he told them.Everyone cheered as they chatted with Spade to get to know him. Meanwhile, Rai and Shane went to their seats, suppressing the suffocating feeling in their chests. Who wouldn’t be feeling depressed when you have the answer, but don’t know how to get it like in their advanced Mathematics class? It is very frustrating. It is like the moon on the water when you think that you have already reached it, but actually it was fake. And after you realized that it is actually fake, you fell in the water. But, you still see the
“So, yesterday, your elder brother called you not to pick him up – “ Reiner spoke as he, Vince, Rai, Shane, and Spade (Heart Twilight) ate in the canteen during their morning break. “ – but to pick up his girlfriend?” he said.Rai and Shane started. “’girlfriend’?” they muttered. “Senior Victor has a girlfriend?” they exclaimed in surprise.They can’t be blamed for their surprise since Victor is a well-known playboy in their school, just like the notorious Rai, but Victor is in the high school department while Rai was in the middle school department before. And Victor has never had a girlfriend. But what about the girls that he flirted with? They are not his girlfriends, but ‘flings’. So, Victor had never had someone he called as his ‘girlfriend’. All he had were flings, who were aiming to be Victor’s girlfriend, since being Victor’s girlfriend means being Victor’s ‘one and only’.However, so far, no one has succeeded to be Victor’s girlfriend. None, until now. That is why Rai and Sha
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
