Seth's POV
I bite my finger as I wait for Zanaya's response, my heart beating rapidly.
I was so glad I listened to Raze not to walk out when I heard what Zanaya had said on the phone.
It scared the hell out of me.
"Storm..." my chest tightens at the sound of her voice. She had been crying since earlier.
It took me a great amount of self-control so I wouldn't rush towards where she is and pull her to a hug.
Oh God, I'm dying to be with her and have her on my arms again.
Based on her conversation with Storm, it is very clear that she never wanted to break up with me. And judging by the number of tears she had been pouring, and of course, her words per se, she loves me.
I wanted to jump in pure joy because of that.
As much as I would love to run towards her arms at this point,
Zanaya's POV"Seth, I swear if you two don't arrive here in twenty minutes, I will----""We're coming!" Seth screamed in response to ending the call as he tries to wear his pants with him ended getting trip by his own feet.I tried to stop myself from stifling from laughter as I try to wear my clothes the fastest I can."Serves you right." I chuckled and he glared at me.We are currently in our house as we ended up staying here last night as we celebrate our third anniversary. And of course, our meeting ended up in a steamy sex party.Now, our members are fuming in anger as we both have an event to attend to and the fact that we're already late doesn't seem to please both of our members."Who told you to wear the sexy lingerie anyway?" he muttered and I just rolled my eyes at him."Hey, can you help me out with this?"
Zanaya's POV"Just a minute, please? Like, just a few steps or just a brief part of the song?" I pleaded with my puppy eyes but my efforts were wasted into nothing like the last time.Like yesterday, Seth shook his head in disapproval."Not gonna happen, sweetie." He scoffed.I've been pestering him for a while now. They were busy preparing for their comeback and I was requesting a sneak peak.I've used every card that I needed, girlfriend, wife, and puppy faced card but he didn't take the bite.I had always been patient about waiting for the release of their songs but this time, I am dying to know.It was all Grey's fault. I accidentally heard him once whistling and it was so good I had gotten curious.When he found out that I heard about it, his face flushed and that's when I realized that it was p
Seth's POV"Are you sure about this?" Raze muttered as we try to hide from the staff so Zanaya wouldn't see us."Seth, we look creepy right now, do you know that?" Grey whispered as he tries to act natural even though a few of the staff were eyeing us weirdly.WHISTLE is currently shooting for a Serendipity Show special for a summer version of their song and Zaya had been anxious about it since it has been a few weeks since they last performed on a music show.Of course, I need to show her my support. However, Zaya specifically told me not to show myself to her for the time being after I forgot to buy her favorite chocolate the last time I came back from Japan.She was craving so much for it but I was so busy it totally slipped my mind.She was a little upset and no matter how much I hugged her last time, she still won't budge.
Zanaya's POV"Why are you all so quiet? This is so not you guys." I chuckle as we all stay inside the van.Seth, Raze, and Grey came with us and we're all headed to Seth and I's house, I'm not even sure why.Well, the boys were given time to rest so they don't have any schedules left for two more days.And us, we have a week off before we head straight to Japan for our concert.But then after I went back from the restroom, everyone seemed to be acting differently.I cringed just remembering how I started vomiting earlier. I knew I shouldn't have eaten that leftover food last night. To top it all, indulging myself from all those chocolates that Seth has brought probably wasn't one of the best decisions I have ever made. Good and bad stuff came crushing through me and yeah, so me ending with an upset stomach.I was just too glad our perform
Seth's POV"Is she okay?"As soon and I pull the door close, I turn around as I heard Raze, his voice full of concern.A sigh escaped my lips before my feet guided me towards the couch where everybody had circled.All of WHISTLE, except Zanaya, and the rest of SHADOW are facing each other.Normally, this should be a good day since it's hard to set a date where everyone is available. But given the situation, I'm not even sure if meeting here is a good idea."I don't know. She's pretty much shaken up about it." I answered before plopping myself down on the empty seat beside Grey."Do you think she's really pregnant?" Grey asked and I scratch the back of my head. I'm not even sure if I can answer his questing honestly.I guess I feel like that's something private and I'm not really comfortable discussing something that i
Zanaya's POV"Zaya..." I lifted my head up a little as I heard Cali calling my name."Yes?" I asked and she just frowns."You're binge-watching again. You will hurt your eyes, silly," she muttered before plopping her body just beside where I am seated. I felt her grab a handful of popcorn from the bowl that was on my side before popping a few in her mouth.I raised my eyebrows at her as I pause the movie that I was watching."What?" she muttered, her smile was so awkward I suddenly felt guilty why she and the rest of the girls have been acting that way ever since my outburst with Seth.I turned on my side once I heard my phone beep, signaling that I have received a new message which Cali obviously noticed since my phone is just sitting at the top of the table.Storm had been sending me messages asking if I'm okay which I did not return ev
Seth's POV"You guys are up next."I look up once I heard what the music PD said.In just a few days for our comeback, here we are in Macau, about to perform for a Music Show along with some fellow idols."Ahm, you call him. I'm scared of Seth right now. He's been out of it for a week."I heard Grey said as he and Sky kept on arguing."Yah, of course, I'm scared too," Sky responded and I had to resist the urge to call the two and tell them that everything is fine.It has been a week since the episode with Zanaya and ever since that day, I haven't had the chance to talk to her.Or should I say, I don't have the guts and the balls to do so, after all those things that I've said?I didn't mean for her to hear those words and regardless, I'd say I don't fully regret saying those word
Seth's POVAfter what Sky had informed us, we took the next flight back to Korea.Our managers didn't bother asking questions and it's a good thing we don't have schedules set anyways.However, Sky's information isn't as accurate as it seems.We did we forgot to ask exactly what happened?We keep on forgetting that this is Sky and yeah, sometimes, he speaks some weird things.Once we barged in into WHISTLE's dorm, we found the girls casually watching a movie in the living room.Though Tokyo's eyes seem red and puffy, indicating that she indeed had cried.What actually shocked us the most is how Grey ran towards the girl and carry her upside down before locking themselves inside Tokyo's room."Do you guys think we should let them be?" Raze asked, confused about what is happening.
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
