Zanaya's POV
My hand reached for the jacket that Tokyo was handing.
"You know, at this rate, not only the people of our country will know that you two are dating, but most probably the whole world." Tokyo giggled as she nudges me by the shoulder.
I bite my lip as I notice Seth looking at our direction, his arms on his hips like a mad mom.
And he still looks fucking hot.
"You won't melt due to sunlight Zaya, but because he was staring at you too much. And openly, if I may add." Max smirked and I had to shake my head in disbelief.
We just ended the rehearsal for a festival and the fact that Seth had been eyeing me with a look of both lust and disapproval made me realized that he isn't liking the fact that I removed my jacket earlier, revealing a black fitted crop top inside.
It was a little hot and wearing my sweatpants with a j
Seth's POV"Hey, don't you think you're being too much?" Sky shook his head as he peak into my phone, reading the last message that I sent to Zaya."What?" I pouted."You do realize that it's her job to look pretty, right? And you can't expect her to wear long jumpsuits or pants while dancing." he snickered and I rolled my eyes on him.A laugh escaped my lips as I saw the frustrated look on my stylist, not liking the fact that I kept on moving as she was trying to fix my make up."Seth, you need to be careful." Raze muttered. "You were openly staring at your girlfriend earlier. Don't you know a lot of fancams are being uploaded online even for rehearsals?" he added as he stares at his reflection on the mirror, checking if everything was already set."He knows." Grey chimed in and I hated him a little for what he said next. "Because he's always watching
Zanaya's POV"Where are we going?" I asked Seth as he pulled me from the girls after the festivals.My manager didn't even stop him.Sometimes, I was thinking if our manager doesn't care or she just trust me. Surely, everyone knew we are on a dating ban but my secret escapades with Seth don't seem like important to them.Or, does my boss told them I'm allowed to date?Impossible.I shook my head away from the thought when Seth pulled me inside a room and gave me a paper bag."What's this?" my brows furrowed."I asked for your change of clothes with your manager." his cheeks blushed."You were talking with my manager?" I asked confused."Hey, well, I had to ask for their permission since you won't be going home tonight," he added as he scratches the back of his head.
Zanaya's POV"This looks cute on you, try this." Seth removed my cap and put a beanie on me.We were at the mall to buy her Mom a gift but we ended up shopping for ourselves.Seth kept on taking things asking me to try them.And of course, a few fans have noticed us since Seth didn't exactly hide his face and I didn't put an effort to hide mine as well as I try every piece that Seth gives to me.Seeing him acting all giddy on doing shopping for me makes me happy as well.He seemed like he's enjoying.Though we agreed that it's fine for people to see us, it's still a little uncomfortable as a few fans have already started gathering around.They were taking photos and videos, occasionally calling our name.The good thing is, Seth decided that it would be best to pretend that it's o
Zanaya's POV"I still can't believe you two pulled that," Max said as I watch her paint her nails on the corner, her hair tied in a bun.People always see how good Max carries herself but they'll love her even more once they see how carefree she is at home, with a loose shirt and shorts.She was talking about how Seth and I went out showing the whole world that we are togetherOf course, a lot of articles came out and though BP did not release any statement after what happened three days ago, it's safe to say that fans understood.There are mixed reactions from both of our fans.Seth also told me how a few of his fans are asking about me on their last fan meeting.What's funny is that Sky told me how Seth was startled when one fanboy of mine came to him and told him that he will beat Seth if he ever made me cry.I wis
Zanaya's POVThe past two weeks had been a little depressing.Our boss called me and the rest of the girls separately.Since WHISTLE is technically in a dating ban, that means the three are not allowed to date.The truth is, the dating ban wasn't included in my contract because I was basically married before I even debut. But that secret was known only by me, Seth and our boss. And our boss specifically told us that it should stay that way.The amount of guilt that I felt when he told the girls that they are not allowed to date, is immeasurable. I wanted to shrink down on the floor until I vanish.Cali was heartbroken and no matter how hard she tries to look like she isn't affected, it's obvious that she is.Our boss just said that since I am already dating, WHISTLE can't take the risk of allowing another member to be in a relationship.
Zanaya's POV"Oh God, this is torture," Max muttered as we all lay down flat on the ground.I turned in the opposite direction when I heard someone laughing.My brows furrowed after I realized that Jan was laughing at our devastated state."Hey, why are you even here?" Tokyo pouted.Jan KONICS always checks on us whenever we are practicing for our new song.He just loves seeing us getting tortured because our dance instructor is so strict."I miss seeing the four of you laying down and out of breath due to practice. I swear you four had been busy munching chips lately, especially you, Tokyo. Your cheeks are getting bigger." he teased and Tokyo immediately run towards him.Of course, Jan wouldn't let Tokyo catch him. Because the last she did, he almost threw Jan out of the building.
Seth's POV"Are you sure you're okay?" Demo asked me for the nth time and like what I always said, I replied yes.Unconsciously, a sigh escaped my lips as I try to get off this weird feeling."I trust her. She would tell me if she need help. And if ever I think there is a need to intervene, I would. But now, I chose to trust her." I said as I stare at the article before me.A lot of photos are circulating online with her being with that creepy actor.Eversince Zaya decided that we temporarily stop our communication, I would still send her messages telling her how my days have been.And I'm still glad because I know that she's reading it.I could have been angry with her decision but I know how much she cherishes her members as well and at this time, I know Cali needs her.I'm not sure what's the deal between her
Zanaya's POVI looked down as I felt the stares that we are getting after we get inside the restaurant.Their stares are melting and it feels like I'm being disected into pieces, it's suffocating.Seth decided that we eat out since it's been so long since we had and I agreed.Though it's already past nine in the evening, a lot of people are still out and tonight, we may be 'lucky' enough to be in a restaurant with a lot of teens eating out with their family.Wait, isn't it Sunday today?"Hey..." I felt a hand on my chin as he slowly lifts my face, my vision greeted by his ethereal looks. "You okay?" he sweetly asked and I smiled at his gesture.Seeing him this close makes me realize how much I miss him."Seth..." I whispered and he smiled at me.Why are you not angry at me? I wan
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
