Storm's POV"What do you mean that I can't go?" I asked calmly, Cali's hushed voice makes me a little more intrigue by the minute. I promised to visit and cuddle with her since she doesn't have any schedule and so do I, but right before I can sneak out of our dorm, my phone rang and here we are, changing plans as if we don't miss each other. My brows furrowed at what she just said. "What do you mean Seth is there? Seth like, our Seth?" I asked confused, my body turning autopilot from getting back to my room into heading out once again once I heard what she just said. Why would Seth be there? As far as I know, Seth doesn't personally know anyone from WHISTLE. What business does he have with them, and more importantly, in their dorm? I almost started coughing at what she said next. "Zanaya's family? No, I don't have the slightest idea. He never once told us anything about it,"Or maybe because I don't really listen that much with anything that concerns other people especially if
Cali's POV"Hey..." a smile automatically escaped my lips at the sound of his voice. My back was facing him and I felt his arms wrapped around my waist. "Yah, they might see us," I whispered before turning around, my cheeks getting red as I felt him kiss my forehead. Ge'ez. I felt my stomach now churning. Just the way his hands touched my skin gives me shivers throughout my body. He was addicting, and so was his touch.Scratch that. Everything about him was addicting. His smile, the way he looks at me, the way he calls my name...everything. He's just so perfect. "I don't care if they see. They can't say a word anyways," he chuckled and my hands automatically reached to hug him too. It's not like we're not seeing each other often coz we do, in secret but seeing him always gives me warmth and comfort. Whenever he's with me, I feel like everything will be okay. We just came back from Japan and imagine our surprise after finding out Seth and the rest of SHADOW are outside our dor
Storm's POV"You have to keep quiet," I felt Cali's hands covering my mouth as she tries to keep me from stopping her making noise. But the alcohol in her system probably thinks it’s not fun to be quiet. Soft giggles escaped her lips and no matter how much I try to stop myself, I felt my insides churning. Damn it. I feel like a girl. "Chu!" I whisper-shouted, my voice is still soft afraid that I would upset her in any way, silently condemning myself too for being too soft with her. However, that didn't seem to be effective as she just leaned closer in her cute attempt on getting a kiss from me. Oh, Lord. I gulped. Cali being like this is something I both like yet I also dreaded especially if she desperately wants to sneak inside our dorm-like how she used to. She called me earlier telling me that she's almost at our dorm and the blood on my body almost drained since the boys were planning to have a movie night in the living room. And that will make it hard for me to sneak her in
Cali's POV"Yah, are you crazy?" My cheeks were red as hit him lightly on the shoulder, his head resting on my lap and I didn't know if I should feel happy or scared of what is happening. After the incident on the awards night, Zanaya was called to the office. And I guess Seth was worried about her so the rest of SHADOW decided to come over. It shouldn't be a problem, until Storm deliberately went and use my lap as his pillow, not minding the curious looks our members has been giving us. Of course, I knew I'd be in trouble later once they're gone. Knowing the girls, they won't stop until they hear what the deal is. Not that I'm ready to tell anyways. Suddenly, he pulled his phone from his pocket and started typing. I tried to avoid my gaze over his phone. As much as possible, I don't really want to intrude. It's his privacy and even with our relationship, I know we both have limits. The sound of him chuckling caught my attention and I was met with his amused expression. "Why ar
Cali's POV"Cali, something wrong?" lifting my head a little, I spare Tokyo a glance before turning my attention back to my phone as I furiously type a long-ass message to Storm. That fucker. He told me he won't go home but he did. I saw the tweets online. And now, he's not even telling me when he will be coming back. Last time, I told him I'll go with him and bring Dalgomie to play with Holly. "Calm down. You're going to break your phone," she chuckled and I pouted. After getting satisfied with the words that I told him, I pressed the send button and threw my phone beside me as Tokyo sat on the opposite couch. Storm, as much as I love him, he tends to be authoritative at most times. He makes decisions without consulting me thinking it was the best. And it's always at his disadvantage. I don't like that. I don't want him suffering from anything just so I won't. Because in the end, when he's in pain, I am in pain too. It's a two-way result - always. However, I'm not sure he get
Cali's POV"Let's meet later, okay? I have something to give you,"A smile tucked on the corner of my lips as I type my message for Storm. We are both attending the same festival and I may or may have not forgotten to inform my members about it. "We're on again," I heard Max stated so I dropped my phone on my bag which will be left with our managers. "You know, at this rate, not only the whole Korea will know that you two are dating, but most probably the whole world." Tokyo giggled as she nudges Zanaya by the shoulder. I tried to stop myself from giggling at the sight of it. There he is, Seth Devon, staring openly on Zanaya's direction, his arms on his hips and he looks like he just caught his daughter sneaking outside to meet some other boys. He looks so funny actually. "You won't melt due to sunlight Zanaya, but because he was staring at you too much. And openly, if I may add." Max smirked and I couldn't agree more.Somehow, I get a little jealous because Storm isn't like tha
Storm's POV"Hey, Storm, are you even listening?" I grunted internally after hearing Raze’s voice, my brows furrowing at the sight of him. "What are you even doing? Go with the younger members and play with them," I snickered before turning my body around, lying on the bed, my back now facing him. "Hey! Storm!" I turned immediately after hearing him call my name. "And can you please stop calling me that? Good Lord, what are you, a kid?" I said a little pissed. Only Cali can call me that. But of course, I can't tell that to him. "Yes, I'm a kid. And you're my father. I swear you're being a lot grumpier these days Storm. You should start dating,"I snickered, "I'm dating, stupid..." I whispered to myself. "What did you say?" he asked and I just raised my hand after turning once again. "Nothing. Just go to Sky. I saw an article about you being Worldwide handsome you can now brag to Sky that you still have it even with his title," I told him and my ears almost bleed at the sound o
Cali's POVMy eyes caught my manager's strange behavior. I am currently doing a shoot and is in the waiting room while our makeup artists do some finishing touches on my face. The pictorial was almost finished and I only had to make a few more shots and I can go home and take a rest. But since earlier, I've noticed how my manager seemed to be out of focus. He'd paced back and forth, then stop as if in deep thought, and then he's back into doing that again. Sometimes, he'd checked his phone and bite his fingernails, a habit I knew he does whenever something is bothering him.Was he in trouble? For the entire shoot, I tried to distract myself by focusing on what the cameraman was instructing me to do. Until the shoot had come to an end and both my manager and I were already inside our van. But even so, he was still restless, I can't help but get worried. He had been my manager even when I was still a trainee. I needed one sometimes because I was given gigs like commercials and picto
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
