Seth's POV
"Is it necessary for you to pick her up bridal style dude?" Mono scolded me.
I understand what he's pointing out. Some people might see us and get the wrong idea.
"She's a rookie. Imagine the hate that she'll get once people see the two of you." Raze added.
We're now back at our dorm. Sky and I had to follow because the boys had gone first.
"Raze, stop scolding Seth. Zanaya was really sick. She immediately passed out once her back touches the couch." I looked at Sky, a little grateful for backing me up.
I heard Demo sigh.
"We understand. We're just worried not only for you Seth but for the girl as well. Remember, in our industry, it's always the girl that gets the most hate when people found out that you're dating."
"But we're not dating," I told them. Well, except that we're actually married. I told myself.
"We know, but it seems like you knew each other." Mono looked at me weirdly.
I avoided his eyes. "What are you talking about? How will we know each other?"
As much as I want to tell the boys about it, I can't. I don't want to burden them.
"But you like her" Sky added. His eyebrows raising.
Grey chuckled. "Awwwww! Sethie had grown up!"
I lunged forward to Grey hitting him playfully.
"I am older than you," I told him. The others laugh while they watch us mess around.
Storm remained seated on the corner, not even bothering to open his eyes.
"But I wouldn't blame you, Zanaya looked hot," Sky exclaimed which I return with a glare.
"See!" Sky pointed at me. "Did you see him glare at me?"
"You've fallen really hard, Seth." Demo laughed.
"I did not. She looked like she would faint so I helped her. You all would do the same!" I told them.
"Yep but I'm not sure I'll have the courage to pick her bridal style since we're not close and we like, just met that day or something."
The other guys agreed.
"You should have seen him. He looked like a boyfriend who's taking care of his girl. Ahhhhhhhh"
Again, I glared at Sky who's hugging Grey while they are busy being giddy about what happened earlier.
"Shut it. I don't like the girl okay." I told them.
"If that's what will make you sleep at night Seth, sure."
Sometimes, I hate Mono for being good at catching up.
It's not that I like her, okay. I mean, I hated her before but that was like, a year ago.
When I found out about my arranged marriage, I wasn't really against it. Then I saw her. I knew her then. I knew that she's a trainee in BP Entertainment that will soon debut.
Then I heard some girls, probably her cousins talking about our arranged marriage telling things like how we'll look good together and how we would be the most talk about couple if ever. That's what pissed me off.
I thought she did pull some strings so we can get married but I got confused when she suddenly flipped back at me.
I guess deep inside, I feel like she's not that kind of person but can never trust some people these days.
It was a month after our marriage, I was drunk and I was scrolling on my phone and saw her name save on my contacts.
Stupid Zanaya
That's what I saved her name with.
I know it's pathetic of me but I was still pissed off. She made me sleep on the couch. My back was hurting the whole night.
Before I knew it, I have sent a lot of stupid messages on her.
Once I woke up, I've cursed a lot when I realized what I did. But she never replied to my messages though I was sure I saw a notif underneath that shows that she read it.
I almost got into big trouble with Raze after he heard me cursing nonstop.
And then I saw her in Serene Musics.
Her looks have changed. Gone were the cute cheeks that she originally has. She got thinner but her facial features got sharper.
She looks hot. That's how I would describe her.
And yes, she still hated me.
I wouldn't tell her but I am very proud of what she had become.
Their songs had been a hit and, me and the boys can really see how talented they are.
She did really well earlier. She was sick but she still nailed the performance.
Once her groupmates arrived, Sky and I immediately left after we bid our goodbye.
I was sure that her members were a little confused when they saw us but decided not to ask questions and tend to Zanaya first.
I pulled my phone and decided if I would text her or not.
But curiosity gets through me so I decided to text her anyway.
First, I looked around to make sure that the boys weren't looking at me.
Me: Hey, how are you feeling?
I was a little nervous. I'm not really sure if she would reply.
5 mins...
10 mins...
30....
Still no response.
"Look, guys, Zanaya is trending."
I looked up and saw Grey showing his phone with the others.
I checked my phone and soon, I saw what Grey was talking about. A hashtag was dedicated to her.
#GetwellsoonZanaya
I check the links and saw that the three other girls did a live and Zanaya wasn't with them.
Maybe she's really not feeling so well.
I decided to check some other things on social media but my mind is still caught up with what happened to her.
What? She's with her members. They will surely take care of her right?
I close my eyes to try to relax but soon, images of sick Zanaya keep flashing before my eyes.
"Aissst!" I sigh in frustration.
"Yah, what's wrong?" Demo asked while he sits beside me.
I wish I can tell you.
"Nothing. It's just that my head is starting to feel dizzy."
"Oh really? Then take a rest Seth." he added.
I stood up from my seat and made my way towards my room. But an idea flashed through my mind.
It may be a little absurd but what the hell,
I decided to dial a number on my contacts.
After two rings,
"Oh, my handsome son-in-law, how are you?"
I smiled after hearing her voice.
"I miss you mom, by the way...."
Zaya's POVMy eyes squinted a little when I heard the door on my room squeaked, suggesting that someone came in. Too exhausted and eyes too tired, I did not even bother checking who it is. Well, it's probably just one of the girls. I and the girls were supposed to do a Video live this evening but my body isn't really cooperating right now.After Snow and the girls had woken me up earlier from my short slumber, we quickly made our way back to the dorm so I can take a rest. I can barely even remember how I was able to get in the house because I was damn sure I was stone-cold and knocked-out on the van earlier.If I weren't actually sleeping on the couch on a music show, I swear I wouldn't even move an inch. A small smile tugged at the corner of my lips when I remember how peacefully I have been sleeping earlier.I was dreaming about my husband. Yeah, my jerk of a husband, Seth Devon.
Seth's POVI 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
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
