Zanaya's POV
"I can't be nervous. I can do this. Fighting!" a chuckle escaped my lips as I saw Tokyo talking to her self while she's sitting in front of the mirror, a makeup artist was doing a retouch on Tokyo's makeup.
"You really are so cute," I told her and like every time, Tokyo just flashed her smile towards me.
"You're cute too," she said as she pouted her lips towards me.
"Yah, Tokyo! Stop with the cutesy faces, man!" Max spat from across the room.
I laugh as Tokyo continued doing weird gestures on her lips while Max just rolled her eyes, smiling as she sat on the corner of the room and put out her phone.
This is our first ever awards night and we're very nervous.
I scanned the room and saw Cali talking to one of our managers.
I decided to seat on an empty chair while we wait for our queue to move t
Zanaya's POV"Auntie, will uncle come to visit me as well? I miss him." I pout as Ji Hyun grimaced in front of me.I am home In Australia. Our boss allowed us to stay the holiday with our families since we're not attending SERENITY Awards this year.LUNA and Golden Awards just ended as well so this is the best time to relax until we go back to practice for the 24th Star Music Awards."Are you not excited and happy to see me?" I cooed her as we sit on a swing outside of our house.I'm sad actually. Ji Hyun seemed to love Seth more than she loves me when I am her mother's sister."I am but I miss him too!" she said."Yah, Ji Hyun, stop being so stubborn. Your aunt flew back from Korea to see you. Why are you being like that?" her mother said as she looked at her a little disappointed.My heart ached after I saw Ji Hyun's eyes started to fill with tear
Zanaya's POV"Why did you not tell us you're coming?" My mom said as he hugged Seth once we came back from the lake dock,our hands intertwined.I blushed a little after I saw my sister wiggling her eyebrows from afar.I tried to pry my hands off from his but he held my hands tighter."I wanted to surprise my wife, mom. She'd been a little upset these past few days with me,so..." he smirked as he gazed towards my direction.This little flirt.As if my face can't be any redder than how it is, I saw my dad and mom raised their eyebrows at me."Did you two had a lover's quarrel?" my dad chuckled. "That's normal for wedded couple. As long as you talk about it, everything should be fine. Well, unless one of you is cheating the other,that's a different case." my father stated.His eyes landed on Seth,"That's not the
Zanaya's POV"This should be okay,right?" I told to myself after checking my reflection on the mirror.I just took a bath and the fact that my husband was waiting outside isn't helping.I was wearing my usual sleeping attire: a loose shirt and shorts underneath. I mean, I should be acting normal under these circumstances,right?I will die in embarrassment if I went out of the bathroom in a very seductive outfit.This wasn't the case when we just got married. We hated each other's guts and I cringed after remembering how I asked him to sleep on the couch that night.He didn't even bother lowering down his voice when he cursed and I was damn sure he wanted me to hear.Realizing that this will be technically our first night as a couple, I felt a big lump on my throat.I don't know what to do or how to act especially that we
Zanaya's POV"Zanaya..."I swatted whatever it is that is pinching my nose and turned the other way."Yah,Ji Hyun,let Imo sleep, okay?" I muttered as I try to get back to sleep.I spread my hands across my bed and I felt my pillow beside me,so I moved and hugged it tighter."Wow, my pillow smelled so good," I whispered and I heard someone chuckled."Ji Hyun,let me sleep first. I'll play with you later.."But then I felt an arm wrapped around me.Wait,isn't this my pillow?My eyes snapped open and a handsome face shown before me.I gulped."You were snoring,baby," he said and my hands automatically pushed him a little and he ended up on the ground."Awww" he said as he tries to stand up. "What's with always pushing me off from the
Zanaya's POV"Zanaya, so how's your vacation?" Tokyo wiggled her eyebrows.I haven't even entered my room yet and she immediately bombarded me with questions.Good thing,Cali was on a recording for Inkigayo while Max was most probably back with her parents.She always visits her Mom if we don't have a schedule.So,Seth arrived in Korea two hours ago since his flight was earlier than mine which I guess was good because I might get crazy on the airplane if we have the same flight.I mean, being on the same airplane but unable to stay together is enough to make me crazy.Once he arrived at his dorm, he immediately sent me a message and I appreciate that.I grabbed my phone and send him a message that I'm back so he won't be worried.I looked at Tokyo when I heard her chuckle."You are so wh
Zanaya's POVI started fanning my face after I sing in front of the artist that I'll be collaborating with for a special performance for a music show next week.I'll be performing with my senior artists and I am so nervous. Who wouldn't?The fangirl inside me is screams death if I mess this up."Thay was good,Zanaya" I bowed as I thanked my senior, David for praising me after listening to my song.They asked each of us to sing so he'll know how to arrange our prod together."Do you know how to play XENO's monster?" he asked and I shyly nodded."Great, so you"ll be playing that while Chase sings and he'll play your song when it's your turn."I shyly nodded as I smile curtly to Chase who is very kind and accommodating.Rio was actually only older than me for a few days and though she is a senior,she was friendly enoug
Zanaya's POV"Is there something going on with you and Seth?" I was startled at what Charlie had said after we practiced for our performance.I mentally scold myself for not being fast enough as Rio had left me with Charlie.We're now on our way to the same dance hall where everything had happened yesterday.After yesterday,Seth kept on trying to call me and sending me messages.I considered picking it up but I realized that I'm not sure how I would be talking to him after he saw me crying stupidly.Once I calmed down last night,I kept thinking about things and I realized that I was being stupid for being too hard on Seth when I can see that he's trying.Come to think of it, he barely even talked to Sally. I was just being too jealous that I was overthinking.If Sally was talking to him, it would be rude if he won't be t
Zanaya's POV"Oh!" I almost screamed at the top of my lungs when I felt someone grabbed me by the waist.However,the person who had pulled me was wise enough to cover my mouth.My body slammed on the hard wall but then, an arm was wrapped over my waist so I didn't really felt the impact.The hairs on the back of my neck stood up after realizing that I was trapped with someone in one of the empty rooms in the venue.I was trying to calm my nerves for my performance later that I went on my own and find a place where not a lot of people are.Shoot. I should have at least brought Tokyo with me.But then, my nerves soon calmed down when I heard an all too familiar voice."It's me,babe." my heart skipped a beat after hearing his voice whispering on my ears.My eyes squinted, adjusting slowly on the darkness th
Cali's POV"Okay, this is so upsetting. Why are you able to go around like this when I was close to going crazy after I just gave birth to Ashton?" Zanaya scowled as we sat on the couch, on her hands were a bowl of nachos that we've been munching since she arrived. "We married two different men, Zanaya. They think and act the exact opposite like each other," I chuckled as Zanaya pouted. It's cute how she'd start whining about it."But it's unfair! You always have this time to chitchat with us not worrying that your baby will cry," I saw Storm shaking his head from afar. He was seated while he watches Ashton stare at our baby who was sleeping on the crib. Ashton was simply standing and staring at her in awe. He can hear our conversation as well as Seth. Storm takes care of our child. He likes to be hands-on and is always insisting that I take a rest. "Zanaya, our case was different. You kinda have a postpartum then which I don't. Plus, Storm may have gotten quite a few notes seeing
Cali’s POVI was literally lost about everything that was happening. Just then, the sound of Ashton's voice filled the room. "Aunt Chu!" my eyes turned towards Ashton the same moment their eyes snapped towards mine. Ashton stood up and walked towards me. "Aunt Chu, this yours?" he asked innocently and my eyes widened when he gave me a ring, a diamond one. Max and Tokyo's gasped filled the room while Zanaya was squealing. What the hell? Why were they acting like that? "Yah!" Storm's voice echoed the room and he looked so pissed off. Now, even Seth immediately kneeled beside the two. "I swear I just put it on top of the table. I didn't know Ashton will take the ring," he pleaded and my jaw almost dropped on the floor. So, this ring was Storm's?I saw how the girls were all acting giddy and excited. The place... The balloons and ribbons... The snowballs... The photos... Is this what I think it is? Slowly, my hands covered my lips as I started to shake. "Oh my God..." I whis
Cali’s POV"How long have you've been dating?""Storm! Do your members know about your relationship from the beginning?""What are your next plans?""California! What do you think about your fans' reaction? Now that all of WHISTLE is in a relationship, your fans are organizing a boycott! Are you going to disband?!""Storm! What can you say about the rumors that it was Cali who probably gave motive-”?The reporter wasn't even able to finish as Storm stopped midway after letting me in first, even covering my head for support. He faced the reporters particularly the last one who seemed taken aback at Storm's actions. He can be very intimidating. "First of all, it was me who made a move first," he started and all of the reporters kept their mouth shut. The power that he holds. "Second, when she first met me, I was merely Storm and she doesn't have the slightest idea that someone with a stage name of SHADOW’s Storm exists. And even so, Cali isn't the type of person who clings into some
Cali's POV"Cali, why are you here? You are supposed to be preparing for your press conference..." my boss asked and I bowed in greeting as I moved forward. He was sipping his coffee while reviewing a few documents he has in front of him. I can't remember how many times I've come here in this office, all because of my relationship with Storm. And every time I go out, it's either me crying or me being on my loneliest state.This specific office had never given me a good memory. The news about my debut anything good was all delivered on a conference hall downstairs. Sometimes, I dread coming in here. "Boss..." I started. There's this fifty percent chance that this talk wouldn't bring me any good like the past ones but I gotta try. "I know I've been pushing my luck a lot of times already but again, I want to ask for your permission," I started. He wasn't looking at me but that didn't stop me from speaking my thoughts. "I promise; I will work harder. I will make sure this relationshi
Storm's POV"I can't believe you're doing this," I turned around and saw Raze, struggling as he ties down the ribbons. I just passed him another set to finish. I was about to speak when we were startled after one balloon popped. "Yahhhh!!!" I glared at Sky and Grey who's playing. Seth was giving out a v-sign while grinning. To think that he's already married with a kid, he sure still acts a lot like Grey and Sky still. Well, he's almost of the same age after all. "Yah! Why do I have to do this when you're the boyfriend?" Raze snickered but continued tying the ribbons. "Right. I haven't slept since last night. Can't you like, get an organizer for this stuff or something?" Demo asked and I threw him my slippers. "You just woke up! So much for being my friend," I scowled and he laughed adorably. ", are you sure about this? I mean, this is something else. You're gonna have to live like how Seth and Zaya used to," Mono asked and I saw how all the boys focus where on me. My eyes shi
Cali's POV"What's happening? I thought everything was settled?" I paced back and forth as the girls try to pacify me. It hadn't been two weeks after Max and Sky revealed their relationship to the public and here we getting the biggest downfall on our careers after my relationship with Storm had been revealed. "Cali..." Zanaya was looking at me in worry while Tokyo and Max checks on the articles online. They were using Tokyo's laptop. It was there, on every social media platform, photos of me and Storm, from our dates when I was a trainee, those days when we got back together, and even those days when we already broke up. Everything was there and it scares me. I just woke up and everyone was in panic. I thought it has been taken cared of? Storm was not here and was still in their company. Our managers had gotten our phones because everybody has been contacting us. Fans are possessive. Imagine finding out Zanaya's marriage with Seth. That was more than enough to shake our career
Cali's POV"Cali..." the girls spread their arms and engulfing me in a hug. My lips quiver and I felt them brushing my hair and rubbing my back. It has been three days after the incident in which Storm had to leave the house after our managers decided it's best that we part ways after what happened. Everybody was frantic and I was so out of it that Storm had to call me every now and then to make sure everything was okay. His focus was all on me, how I was doing, if I've already eaten. He was so selfless I feel like I don't deserve him. Our boss didn't talk to me. I was never called to the seventh floor. Instead, a lot of meetings had happened and Storm told me they're trying to figure things out. What it is or their plans, I don't have any idea until we saw the articles on the internet about Sky and Max's relationship. Photos of their dates were shown. I was surprised to see multiple photos taken on multiple occasions too. So now I wonder if Boss had a lot of instances in which
Cali's POV"Sorry son, I know how much you suffered because of me," my father stated and it broke my heart to hear him say those words. I felt the air feeling like it was being taken out of my lungs. Why? Why did Storm suffer because of him? Did he do something to Storm? Curious, I stay glued hiding behind the wall. "It's all my fault and I will forever repent on my sins. If I didn't gamble, if that reporter didn't see you helping me, then BP Enterntainment wouldn't have to do something about it. You wouldn't have to sacrifice your love for her. You did a lot just so she can reach her dreams," my father added and I felt my world started crumbling in front of me. My knees weaken and it was as if my soul was being extracted from my body. What did I just hear? No. Storm didn't deliberately leave me a few years ago. He did it for me. Gambling is illegal in Korea and I can't believe my father actually even do that. "I'd do it again if I have to," my lips quiver at Storm's words.
Cali's POV"Are you sure this is a good idea?" I heard Storm's voice. My brows furrowed. He'd been acting so weird lately. It's been so long since he last went to our house and today is my father's birthday. We agreed that he'll drop by our house for dinner. Actually, I forced him into it. This was not the first time he'd visit our house but this will be the first time after I debut. Come to think of it, ever since we got back together, he never went to our house like he used to. Storm was close to my family. My Mom love him so much and my father adored him the same way. Even after we broke up then, I never heard my family saying anything bad about him. "We've talked about this Storm. It's my father's birthday," I told him in a stern voice. I felt his hand on mine tightening a little. Why is he so tense? He looked at me nervously. We were on the van together. "Did you tell them I'm coming?" he asked again and I raised an eyebrow at him. "It was meant to be a surprise? Or do yo
