Seth's POV
I 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 slowly crept on my lips after remembering what happened in her room.
This was the first time I had a real conversation with her without bickering with each other.
I get that she hated my guts because I have been a real jerk to her since day one but I was happy to know that she had been dreaming about me these past few days.
I can still feel her soft body against mine after cuddling.
I sigh in relief after remembering how she said that she doesn't really hate me.
I was about to go home but when she asked me to stay, I can't help but agree. I know that she's not herself that and if she was, she would have flipped real bad but I don't even care right now.
And because she smells really good and perhaps due to exhaustion, I fell asleep beside her.
I was a little intimidated after I woke up and found her other members glaring at me in the living room. But they never asked anything.
I had to leave even before she wakes up because it's past seven in the morning.
And of course, some netizens saw me and took some pictures. My hair disheveled and my clothes crimpled didn't really help which is why my members are interrogating me right now.
I never told them where I went. Of course, I can't because I would surely get into big trouble. I haven't even told them what's between me and her.
"And you can actually smirk at this time huh?" Storm said which snapped me away from my thoughts.
"Oooh, Seth has a girlfriend!!!" I glared at Sky who was dancing along with Demo and Grey.
"You have a girlfriend?" Raze added.
"Who is it? Is it your 'princess'?" Grey chimed in doing some kissing sounds while Sky was laughing his ass off.
"Did you just finger quoted me?" I asked him but he just grinned at me.
"Ohhhh, so that's why you were near that place huh?" Demo added, jumping up and down a little too excited.
"Wahhh!!! Did little Seth had some?" I threw a pillow to Mono who was wiggling his eyebrows.
"Yah! I don't have a girlfriend." I told them, my cheeks already blushing.
"Fuck you Sky" I mumbled. He was the only person in the room in Serene Musics when I called Zanaya princess while she was sleeping.
He just grinned at me.
"So, did you or did you not went to her dorm?" Demo asked he was grinning at me as if thinking that this scenario was something amusing.
"I..." my voice came out as a whisper. I can't possibly tell them because I don't even know how to explain.
"So you did?" Grey asked as he ran straight to me, sitting beside me. "So how is it?"
"What, I did not?!"
"You did! It was so obvious and your cheeks are blushing. Ge'ez, Seth. You look like a girl caught red-handed with your crush." Storm laughed.
I covered my face.
I hated how these boys can easily read my mind.
Grey and Sky were now rolling over the floor. I stood up and kicked the two.
"Seth." Raze called, looking serious along with Mono.
"You need to tell us because they will ask, okay."
I sigh while looking at our leader. Of course, I understood. Because of the photos online, some fans are thinking that I slept with my girlfriend.
"I just checked on her to see if she's getting better."
At that, the rest of the boys stood up cheering.
"Oh yeah, I told you. Give me my five bucks Grey!" Sky said as he lay his hands over the young man.
Grey just scratched the back of his head.
"You did a bet on me?" I asked exasperated.
Raze and Sroem just laughed at my face.
"We did. And Demo, you owe me ten bucks. I told you he won't be home." Mono added.
"Hey!!!" I stomped my feet.
And I laugh as the boys just played with each other apart from Storm who went back to sleep on the corner.
I smile.
These are the boys that had been staying with me ever since.
I felt a little guilty for not telling them the truth but then again, them knowing might hurt not only them but a lot of people.
I can't possibly let that happen.
I can't let the people I love get hurt, even if it means staying a jerk to my secret wife.
Though I'm not really sure myself as she'd been bothering my mind a lot lately.
If I being honest, I am starting to think that marrying her was a good idea.
But then again, we started off on a wrong foot, and my pride is big enough for me to tell it straight to her face.
After what happened at her dorm, I'm not quite sure what I'd do once I see here again.
I closed my eyes when I realized something.
I want to see her again.
Fuck.
You're in a big trouble Seth Devon.
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
Zanaya's POV"I miss our dogs."I look at Max as she pouted.We're on our way back to our dorm straight from the airport."Me too."A yawn escaped my lips at California's response.We've just entered inside of our van and I smiled as I see our Blinks outside, thankful that they came to see us even if it's already past midnight here."Yah, Zaya, look at this. Isn't this Ji Hyun? She's trending" Tokyo said as she showed me her phone.My brows furrowed at what she said. Why would she trend? She's my niece and not a lot of people know her.I moved a little closer to Tokyo as Max and California moved closer as well.My breath hitched and my mouth hangs wide open after seeing Ji Hyun's face, smiling at Seth. Moreover, I was shocked to see Seth smiling widely at my niece.They l
Zanaya's POV"Are you really not going to attend the music show this year?" I heard Sky asked California. Before I can even hear her response, I carefully closed the door and face the man who's been causing a lot of problems in my life right now."Are you crazy?Why did you bring them here?"I spat as I paced back and forth in front of him.We are now inside my room while the rest of both our members outside being all awkward with each other."What do I do?" I said as I bite my index finger."Hey, stop that. You're making me dizzy," he said as he sat comfortably on my bed.My cheeks blushed into crimson red after a while. I looked into him and noticed how comfortable he looked as he sat on my bed, his arms are leaning on his side for support."You look a little too comfortable in my bed,stupid," I told h
Zanaya's POV"So, you're attending your first music awards I see..." I heard him said from behind but I didn't dare look back.The two of us are now in the kitchen preparing food or should I say, he is watching me preparing some snacks for the members.I'm doing some nachos. This is the only food we have now since we just came back from Japan and we haven't even bought stocks yet."Are you nervous?" Again, I did not respond.I am still mad after he declared to everyone outside that we're dating.To be honest, I'm not really sure if I should be happy or not.Things will be harder this time. I already had a hard time pretending that I don't know him personally, and now, I have to pretend that we're dating in front of our members?We're married, right but we both knew why we ended that way.Besides, we had always been
Zanaya's POV"I can't be nervous. I can do this. Fighting!" a chuckle escaped my lips as I saw Tokyo talking to her self while she's sitting in front of the mirror, a makeup artist was doing a retouch on Tokyo's makeup."You really are so cute," I told her and like every time,Tokyo just flashed her smile towards me."You're cute too," she said as she pouted her lips towards me."Yah,Tokyo!Stop with the cutesy faces, man!" Max spat from across the room.I laugh as Tokyo continued doing weird gestures on her lips while Max just rolled her eyes,smiling as she sat on the corner of the room and put out her phone.This is our first ever awards night and we're very nervous. I scanned the room and saw Cali talking to one of our managers.I decided to seat on an empty chair while we wait for our queue to move t
Zanaya's POV"Auntie, will uncle come to visit me as well? I miss him." I pout as Ji Hyun grimaced in front of me.I am home In Australia. Our boss allowed us to stay the holiday with our families since we're not attending SERENITY Awards this year.LUNA and Golden Awards just ended as well so this is the best time to relax until we go back to practice for the 24th Star Music Awards."Are you not excited and happy to see me?" I cooed her as we sit on a swing outside of our house.I'm sad actually. Ji Hyun seemed to love Seth more than she loves me when I am her mother's sister."I am but I miss him too!" she said."Yah, Ji Hyun, stop being so stubborn. Your aunt flew back from Korea to see you. Why are you being like that?" her mother said as she looked at her a little disappointed.My heart ached after I saw Ji Hyun's eyes started to fill with tear
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
