Zanaya's POV
My body automatically bent forward as we hit the last pose for our new song.
We've been practicing for a few hours non-stop and we still haven't perfected our choreography.
Everyone seemed unsatisfied and our steps are being changed every now and then, so we actually haven't had our final dance.
"Okay, that's it for today!"
We all plopped down the floor as we try to catch our breath. I ended up lying on the ground, my arms spread wide open.
This is killing me.
Nothing's change even when we were trainees. We still die practicing trying to perfect our craft. And I think things had gotten harder because this time, we have to fulfill the expectations of both our fans and those people who kept scrutinizing us just because we're from BP.
Of course, we knew. We're aware how some people are saying that we had it
Zanaya's POV"Thank you so much, guys." I continuedly thanked the trainees who accompanied us to our dorm.My heart is still hammering inside my chest after what happened earlier.Cali almost got hit by a car if Joshua wasn't able to pull her right on time.I almost hugged him in gratitude.Thankfully, Joshua and Dave, both trainees, were walking back to the office from the convenience store when it happened and Joshua was quick enough to pull Cali out of danger.Cali was shocked and had barely even talked since earlier.The two trainees helped me get Cali back to our dorm as per our manager's advice."It's nothing Zaya. We hope Cali is fine." Joshua and Dave bowed down before going.Those two had been training in BP with us so we all knew each other. And I know it won't be long before they
Zanaya's POV"Don't you think this is too much?" Max asks as we put all the food that we prepare in a bag.I am going over Seth's dorm and decided to bring him a lot of food.I've noticed how he's getting thinner. Though I know about his concerns about him getting fat, I want him to realize that he has the perfect body.We were about to meet the other night but I wasn't able to do meet him because of our changes in schedule.He was with Storm who was drinking his problems away.The truth is, I pity both Storm and Cali.After the incident, Cali had been acting the usual. She started talking to me and the rest of the girls.She's showing us that she's okay when you can basically see in her eyes that she isn't.She also apologized for asking me not to communicate with Seth that time and of cour
Seth's POV"Hey, I can't. Zanaya will kill me." I muttered as Demo continuously pulls me out of the car.We just arrived at our concert in Japan and it has been a week since I last talk to my wife.My phone was missing and as much as I would love to send her a message, our management had forbidden me to do any contact as I've been receiving death threats lately.Even the boys' phones were confiscated while they try to do something on my missing phone.Grey was lucky enough to have a spare phone which he only told me he has after we reached back in Korea so I immediately used it to send a message to Zanaya.The boys only got their phone back on the car after we landed in South Korea.I'm sure she's confused and wondering why I wasn't contacting her.I basically begged my manager to let me call her at least once but no
Seth's POV"Yah, don't you think she's being a little too dramatic about this?" I mumbled as I drink another glass of alcohol.Sky giggled at my words.He fucking giggled."Yah! We-Why are you giggling?" I stuttered.After I read the message on Demo's phone, I immediately headed to their dorm so I can explain myself but all I got was a locked door and a note outside stating that I am banned from entering the unit.What's even funnier is that Sky and Grey, who I didn't know where inside their dorm where kicked out by Max, like she literally kicked them out by the butt."Seth, Zaya's eyes were red from crying. I think you actually really made a mistake here." Grey muttered and I pouted.I know I am at fault but I am a little hurt by the fact that she didn't even bother to listen to me. Sky said that she's not even in th
Seth's POV"I'm really really sorry about this Seth. We didn't know you would be home."I massaged my forehead as I listen to Demo's explanation. It has been an hour since my wife walked out of our dorm, crying.I would have run for her but my unstable state prevented me from doing so. Plus, another girl crying on my bed is making the situation even worse.My head is aching so bad and I am having a terrible hangover.A sigh escaped my lips as my eyes landed on Demo.He was kneeling in front of me, apologizing over and over for what happened. His eyes are red from crying as he earned a lot of curses from Storm and a few from Raze.Demo crying in front of me is something I can't bear to see.Apparently, the three of them went out for a drink after I went to WHISTLE's dorm. Chloe got so wasted and Demo and Mara bro
Zanaya's POV"Zanaya, please open the door..."I curled up even more as I hear Cali's voice from outside of the door.I was seated on the floor, my back leaning on the corner of my bed, my knees bent covering my entire face.My eyes scanned the room. Everything is a mess.Like my life.After I came back from Seth's dorm, I went directly to my room. As soon as my door closed, my vision darkens and before I knew, I was trashing inside my room.All of the figurines on my table were broken on the floor, my teddy bears scattered on the ground.I bit my lower lip, tears still dripping down my cheeks.The image of Seth lying down on his bed with a girl beside him flashed in front of me.Why? Why did he cheat on me?I was willing to listen to his explanation after
Zanaya's POVA lot of things had happened after that night.Seth went on tour and he was out of Korea for months, fulfilling concert dates and filming SHADOW ESCAPADES.We released our new song in which broke records on Youtube and we won trophies on music shows as well.Everything was fine...But not our relationship.I started cutting our communication and eventually, we broke up.At first, Seth would try to call me to the point that even Ske and Grey were trying to reach me through Tokyo and Max, but I stood firm to my decision.It was so painful. For nights, my eyes would get swollen from all my crying. I felt so empty. I would open my phone and see his text messages. I wanted to respond but I can't.I wanted to tell him that I love him more and that I'll be waiting for him.
Seth's POV"Seth, the cover that we made was trending." I tried to smile as Grey danced in front of us while we stay in the living room."We don't talk anymoreWe don't talk anymoreWe don't talk anymoreLike we used to doWe don't laugh anymoreWhat was all of it for?Oh, we don't talk anymoreLike we used to do."A smile escaped on my lips as Sky joined Grey as they happily dance in front of us.Raze was laughing his ass off as he watch the two trying to pull a salsa while singing the same song."Hey, you two are really weird." Mono chuckle as he records the two.We just came back from our concert in Japan."Tss, when will you two ever grow up?" I mutter as I shake my head."Hey Seth, we're both taller than you in case you forgot." Grey teased and I heard our me
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
