2024-10-29 19:42:56Zanaya's POV
"And the winner is..." I held Tokyo's hand tighter as we wait for the announcement for the winner. It was our first nomination and our performance had just ended. Both of our songs are nominated for the top 1.
To be honest, we were not really expecting to win. Performing on stage is more than enough. We know we have to work really hard to achieve success in this field. But of course, deep inside, I'd feel like it will be such an honor if we do.
Right?
"WHISTLE's Hope!" my heart jumped a little when I heard the MC's announced our group's name.
My mind went blank even after the MC had given us our trophy and a bouquet of flowers.
This is so insane. I mean, we just debuted thirteen days ago and now, we already have our first crown.
I tried my best not to cry as Max gave a speech thanking our fans, our BP family, our composer and everyone we should be thanking for.
I had to cover my face when Cali spoke on the mic. I swear to God she's almost on the verge of crying.
I tried to pull up my emotions. Though a voice inside says I might start crying if we don't make this fast. I look around and bowed as many people congratulate us including our seniors in the industry.
After our encore stage, that's when I lost it. I started crying. I can't help it. I was actually the crybaby in the group.
"Yah, Zanaya, stop crying." Tokyo cooed at me but my tears won't stop. Soon enough, the four of us started crying in the dressing room, our manager getting teary-eyed as well.
"Hey, stop it." our manager said. "You're ruining your makeup."
"Manager," California said as she wipes away her tears.
Our manager gave us our phone and Cali had snapped a picture of us with a trophy and immediately sends it to our boss.
After that, I grab my phone and scanned my messages. I have a lot from my dad, my mom, and my sister.
I smiled. I'm so glad to have a loving family.
My brows furrowed when I saw another message from an unknown number.
Unknown: I need to see you. Mom and Dad will come over and they want to have dinner with us.My heart started beating like crazy.
There is only one person who would text me like that.
Seth Devon
My eyes roll when I remember how I actually deleted his number that one time that he had drunk message me calling me names.
I hated him so much.
It was just a month after we got married. I was so pissed that I deleted his number. Since then, he never really sent me a message nor bother me.
It was when we recorded for our debut stage that I first saw him again after we got married.Weird, right?
I sigh. I decided to text him back.
Me: When and where?
I had to ask because I know we both have schedules. Plus, the media will definitely have a field day once they both caught us together.
It wasn't even a minute that my phone had beep indicating that I received a new message.Unknown: They will arrive next Friday and they will be staying for a week so I rented a house for them.
Me: Oh
Unknown: Make sure to clear your schedule for a day.
I raised my left eyebrow. Demanding much huh? But I responded anyway.
Me: okay. Just text me the address whenever.
Then I put my phone in my pocket as me and the girls walked out heading to our van.Once we were out, we were greeted by our fans.
Yes, we already have fans and I can't even believe it.
Max grabbed my hands as we move a little faster so we can go inside our van.Tokyo and Cali went ahead of us.
I can barely make out what our fans were screaming but one particular fan had caught my attention. Actually, it is what she said that startled me.
"Zanaya, I ship you with Seth!!!"
Touché.
"That was insane!" Tokyo exclaimed as she clasped her hands together. She looks so cute.
"I know right? I can never get used to this" Max added.
"How about we record a video later so we can thank our fans?" California suggested.
"That's actually a good idea." I nodded.
Then, we focus our attention back to our phones. Max and Tokyo were both checking the comments on Youtube.
Since almost every one of us is fluent in other languages, we enjoy reading the opinion of our fans, regardless if it's bad or good.
I believe accepting constructive criticism will help us develop.
I unlocked my phone when I noticed that I have one unread message.
Unknown: Btw, congrats on your first win. The boys had been watching you.
Again, my brows furrowed. Is this really Seth Devon? Because I'm not used to him being like this.
I can still remember when we bicker back and forth after our wedding. We stayed in my room for our "honeymoon" but I made him sleep on the couch while I stay in bed. I was sure he was texting someone but I don't even care.
I almost dropped my phone on my lap in shock when I received a new message.
The girls looked at me weirdly.
"My cousin said something weird so, yeah" I smiled to them awkwardly.
They went back to what they were doing.
Unknown: Also, Happy Anniversary.
Then I remembered, it is our first wedding anniversary today. I totally forgot about it and it's weird that he actually remembered.
Seth Devon, what's with the greeting and the sudden messages?
Why are you acting a little differently?
Please don't make my heart waver. I don't need that right now. I repeatedly tell to myself.But who am I kidding?

Zanaya's POVCalifornia: Are you sure you're okay going alone?Cali worriedly asks me via text message perhaps still hoping that I will change my mind.Before I went out of the house earlier, Cali had tried everything she could to talk me out of this while Tokyo and Max hug each other behind her.It is the first time that I would ever go out without them, and without them knowing why and where I would go.But since it's something that even our boss knew, they can't do anything about it."Hey, if this is something weird, you know you can tell us right?" Max said."We are worried about you. Why can't you tell us what's happening?" Tokyo asked.I smiled at them. "It's a family matter and I am grateful enough that our boss understood."I each gave them a hug. "Don't worry about me.

Zanaya's POV"You sure you're okay?" Max asked me while she feels my forehead.We have a performance later in Serene Music but I'm not feeling really well.But of course, I can't let this little cold and slight fever get in the way. We worked hard for this.We're now promoting Full Circle Album."It's okay. I can do this." I cheered while looking at the three girls who's all staring at me worriedly.We're now dressed in our performance outfit."Here, drink this." our manager gave me a medicine which I took and quickly drink."You're on in ten."One of the producers came into our room to inform us so the girls and I all stood up to get ready.

Seth's POV"Is it necessary for you to pick her up bridal style dude?" Mono scolded me.I understand what he's pointing out. Some people might see us and get the wrong idea."She's a rookie. Imagine the hate that she'll get once people see the two of you." Raze added.We're now back at our dorm. Sky and I had to follow because the boys had gone first."Raze, stop scolding Seth. Zanaya was really sick. She immediately passed out once her back touches the couch." I looked at Sky,a little grateful for backing me up.I heard Demo sigh."We understand. We're just worried not only for you Seth but for the girl as well. Remember,in our industry, it's always the girl that gets the most hate when people found out that you're dating.""But we're not dating," I told them. Well, except that we're actually married. I told myself.

Zaya's POVMy eyes squinted a little when I heard the door on my room squeaked, suggesting that someone came in. Too exhausted and eyes too tired, I did not even bother checking who it is. Well, it's probably just one of the girls. I and the girls were supposed to do a Video live this evening but my body isn't really cooperating right now.After Snow and the girls had woken me up earlier from my short slumber, we quickly made our way back to the dorm so I can take a rest. I can barely even remember how I was able to get in the house because I was damn sure I was stone-cold and knocked-out on the van earlier.If I weren't actually sleeping on the couch on a music show, I swear I wouldn't even move an inch. A small smile tugged at the corner of my lips when I remember how peacefully I have been sleeping earlier.I was dreaming about my husband. Yeah, my jerk of a husband, Seth Devon.

Seth's POVI wiped the invisible sweat on my hands to the side of my pants,a little uneasy with all six pairs of orbits staring straight at me."Okay,so you're telling us that you meet up with your high school friend and you ended up sleeping over?" Raze asked,his arms across his chest.I nodded a little vigorously."And that the highschool friend was a boy?" Mono grilled.Again, I nodded.I scold myself for being a little careless.After I called Zaya's Mom, I went to their dorm and brought some of her favorite food.Imagine how shocked Cali is when she opened the door and found me.I had to explain that Zaya's and my family are close and that her mom had sent me to bring her stuff.Though a little skeptical,I was glad that she allowed me to come in.A smile

Zanaya's POVI flinched a little after Seth had slammed his arms on the wall,enclosing my body between his, tightly holding my wrist ensuring that I won't escape."What are you doing?" I asked him a little scared of his sudden outburst.Our recording in Senere Musics just ended and I was about to go back to where the girls are after I came out of the restroom when I felt a pair of strong hands pulled me harshly and slammed me on the wall.I felt a surge of pain on my back but I soon pushed that thought because standing in front of me is my husband,Seth Devon,eyes fuming in anger.For the first time, I felt scared of him. We never had any confrontation like this before."Who do you think you are?" he asked me,his eyes boring deeply into mine."What are you talking about?" I'm not sure what he's getting mad about. We never real

Zanaya's POVIt's okay Zaya,you can definitely do this. You've practiced so hard for this. I told to myself as I prepare in backstage.I was on a variety show where I need to sing and people would have to guess who I am. I am truly grateful to our CEO for allowing me to do this and I don't really want to put this chance a waste.And then I remembered how Seth happened to be one of the panelists outside.He didn't really know it was me right?Not once did he ever complimented my singing and I bet he was a little disappointed that I won that round.But the way that he looked at my direction earlier feels like he was able to see through my mask. To be honest,I never even thought about getting past the first stage but I was glad and thankful. But them again,I was never used to getting on stage alone. For five years,

Seth's POV"Hey, Seth. Can you please smile a little? Our fans put some effort to see us. Frown all you want after this fan meeting."I sigh at what Demo told me.I looked around and saw the faces of our fans. They are all excited to see us. I closed my eyes, a long sigh escaped my lips,and then a smile automatically appeared on my face.Regardless of how frustrated I am,I shouldn't be failing our fans. They don't deserve it."Hey, are you okay?" I looked at Grey who's looking at me, a worried expression written all over his face."What's wrong? Why are you getting so much affected by your dating scandal now?You never cared before?" Sky teased me."It's because his real girlfriend will be upset." I pushed Demo at what he said."Hey,it's not that."The truth is, I'm not usually bothered

Secretly Married 4.34 FINAL
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
Secretly Married 4.33
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
Secretly Married 4.28
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.
Secretly Married 4.26
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
