Sky's POV"Wow, did I do something good on my past life that I have you again visiting me like this?" I smirked as I heard Bobbie's teasing tone, my hand gently pushing the door back until it automatically closes.I raised my hand in greeting as I see Irene sitting on the chair opposite him, reading the script for latter’s broadcast, a huge smile emerging her face acknowledging my presence.Irene and I were very casual with each other. We weren't the best of friends but we were comfortable enough for me to be okay tying her shoes if I know she might get hurt because of it."Is it bad for me to visit you when I know it's hard to see you these days?" I joked over and Bobbie chuckled, the makeup artist who was fixing his hair dashing out of the room so now it's just the three of us."You're a thousand times busier than I am," he answered and I just stuck my tongue out in response.We're on a break and we were given a few days to go around to relieve our stress. Our schedule had been so t
Max's POV"Purple will look better," I exclaimed excitedly and Sky looked at me amused. Regardless, he still extended his hand over my direction and I lay it flat on the armrest.Without wasting any second, my hand automatically did its work and started putting in glittered nail polish over his fingernails, the huge smile never leaving my face."Next time, I'll buy the tools for nail arts," I giggle and he just smile at my ecstatic state."I'm fine with anything as long as you are smiling like that," he whispered and I can't help but lean forward giving him a quick peck on the lips, his body stiffened, surprised at my sudden action."I love you," I smiled at him and I saw how his cheeks blushed at what I said.Sky, ever since I openly showed my affection towards him, he had started acting differently, like he is getting overwhelmed.His cheeks always blushed red which I am starting to adore, and sometimes, he even stutters when he's talking especially when we are with someone else.I
Sky's POV"Sky, can you please stop for a moment? I'm really getting dizzy over you," Raze whined but I didn't even bother looking at him. Instead, I continued pacing back and forth, my ring finger stuck in between my lips as I bite my nails.My stomach is churning and every poss8ble scenario that might happen is bugging inside my thoughts.This is more nerve wracking than when we first debuted, or when we first performed in the US."I'm sure she's okay. She's Max. Remember how you ran for your life last time when she was chasing you with a bat? And wh - awwww! What did I do?" I heard Demo whined as Raze hit him on the shoulder."She can't actually do that to her boss, does she?""Who knows? Max had done a lot of weird things even before. She kicked us out of the dorm after Zanaya went home crying," Grey stated.Of course, I can still remember that time because I was kicked out too."Can you all shut up? Oh gosh, and you, sit down for a second," I almost yelp in surprise when I felt
Max's POV"Why are you even bawling like that? He said Yes, right? He gave you permission as long as it doesn't go out to the public and that it doesn't affect any of your activity as a WHISTLE member," I pouted at what our manager has said.We were on our way home and I just had a conversation with Sky over the phone."I was really scared, Sky. I had to wait three hours just because Sebastian was also called. Do you even know how nerve wracking it was to wait? Also, I was afraid he wasn't in the mood," I whined and our manager just chuckled. My hands started fiddling with my phone, relief slowly consuming my system.That was the scariest four hours of my life.I was instructed to go to the cafeteria while I wait.Our manager even gave me a bowl of food but all I did was cry. Even Bob sat in front me and asked me some questions I'm not even sure I bothered to answer.There was one thing I remember though.*flashback"You know you'll get in trouble. You know even us BETA (A boy group)
Sky's POV"Babe, c'mon, stop sulking. We both know Grey and Tokyo didn't mean for this to happen," my voice a little low but loud enough for her to hear.Slowly, I made my way closer to where she is lying, her back facing my direction.A smile slowly emerged on my lips.I knew why Max was upset.These past few weeks, she had been thinking of some ways on how we can reveal our relationship without making it too obvious that we planned it.She wants us to be "official-official" and so am I. But of course, there are times that things wouldn't really be in our way and one of them is what happened earlier when Tokyo and Grey had accidentally revealed their relationship to the public.Max wasn't upset because she's against it. I know she's always the happiest if it's for her friends but she's been down coz she knows we'll have to wait for another year, two or more to reveal ours and that's a burden she doesn't seem to be happy to be carrying right now.I mean, the realization hit me too.Si
2014Cali's POV"What? Stop laughing!" I rolled my eyes over Zanaya who kept on laughing at my state. I was video calling her since today's shoot for the MV I was involved with just recently ended.It ended earlier than usual which means I can go home. Tough luck though, there was an emergency and the manager who accompanied me for the shoot had to go back to the building because there had been a conflict of schedule.So now I'm left alone, patiently waiting when I will be picked up. I could have gone alone but my ankle is swollen. Due to my carelessness, I slipped at one scene and since I was wearing some heels, I sprained my ankle a little.I've already tried contacting the manager and I was told to wait and they'll fetch me once everything was settled. So now I'm camping on the stairs within the fire exit to hide from all of those people outside.It's hard to mingle with people especially for amateurs like me. This is an industry where normally, your agency is your armor and though
Cali's POV"Cali, you should have told us so we can tell the managers here. Otherwise, you wouldn't have waited there for hours," Max puckered her lips, quivering in worry. Max, she had always been the one with the strongest character but to us, she's the most protective and caring. She easily gets edgy whenever something is wrong but she keeps it whenever she's having a hard time. When a bullying scandal involving her suddenly arose, she never talked about it. She said she was fine but everybody knows she isn't. "They are busy. I'm fine. I can walk, see?" I told them wiggling my feet along the process, my grin never leaving my face. In all honesty, it's hurting a little, but showing them I was hurting meant them being frantic all night, and that's something I don't really like. Every one of us is busy taking classes like singing and dancing lessons, plus, we get to have our monthly evaluations. I don't want to add up to the trouble they are facing. "Yah, go to sleep. You guys h
2016Cali's POV"I will always love you, Chu. Remember that"He reached for my forehead and gave me one last lingering kiss before turning his back. My heart shattered into pieces. The picture of his back slowly diminishing on my line of sight is almost like my breath being taken away from me. And for the first time, I wish all of this never happened. I wish he wouldn't say goodbye. I wish we were still together.I wish he was still mine. "Gi-chi!" My body bolted up immediately, my face full of sweat. The fast beating of my heart is more than enough to wake up my disoriented system. "Liar..." I whispered to myself. Tears, they were streaming down my cheeks again d I felt my chest tightening. My eyes scanned the place before me. That's right. I was sleeping in my room. My hands reached for my forehead as I rested my back on my pillow and leaned on my headboard. These past few days, I keep on dreaming about the past, starting from how we first met and even how we ended. I tho
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
