Chapter 17: Chapter 17
Tokyo's POV
"Yah, Tokyo, turn off your phone, please. Or at least put it in silent. Ge'ez. Who the hell is even texting you like that?"
I mum my lips together as Max scowled at my direction, her face being caked up by our makeup artist.
An awkward smile escapes my lips. We are going to perform today in a Music show.
"Fine." I pouted. Max had been sensitive lately after she found out that Sky likes her. I'm not sure if she's frustrated about something but it still feels so weird seeing her acting like that.
After a few more minutes, we all headed out to the stage to greet our fans.
The crew isn't ready yet so we were given enough time to talk to the people who came.
My eyes landed on Zanaya. She had been sensitive lately, craving a lot of foods and quite moody. I guess it's almost that time of the month.
Plus, Seth got it really bad last time after he forgot to buy Zanaya's favorite chocolate while they have a concert in Japan.
"Tokyo, you're the best!"
"WHISTLE I love you!"
"Max, you're so pretty!"
"Cali, I brought you chicken!"
"Zanaya Devon, I love you!" the girls and I laughed at the fanboy's loud scream.
Zanaya blushed.
Zanaya gets flustered easily when some fanboy confesses their love to her.
Too bad these fanboys didn't know that Zanaya is already married.
We can never thank our fans enough. They are the reason why we are still here.
"Zanaya-ah, please marry me!" the same fanboy screamed and my hands had to cover my mouth to stop myself from laughing out loud. But then my eyes caught a glimpse of a certain brown-haired head jumping in shock after another man screamed.
"Love you, Zanaya Devon!" That voice seemed familiar.
Me and the girls checked the direction where the voice came from.
"Ahhh, Seth ..."Max and I chuckled and Zanaya's face reddens in embarrassment.
As soon as the crowd realized who it was, they all started cheering and squealing.
"Wow, look at Seth cheering along with the crowd." Cali stated and I swear Seth blushed a little.
My eyes landed on Grey who gave me a soft smile in return. I gulped.
My heart started beating rapidly at the sight of him.
It has been a few weeks since he confessed to me. I know I never said Yes but technically, we already have a mutual understanding.
I even had to call Alex and threaten the guy never to tell Grey how we first met or he is dead.
My eyes avoided his glance. I just can't handle his stares at this point. He was so damn cheesy I can barely able to keep myself calm every time he calls me.
I took a glance at Zanaya's direction and she was smiling but the glint in her eyes tells me otherwise. Why does it feel like Seth is in trouble?
Soft chuckles escape my lips.
Soon enough, we finished our performance and headed back to our dressing room.
"Zanaya, can't you tell your man to just come in? They've been outside for more than a few minutes" Cali muttered but Zanaya just shrugged her shoulders.
Shit. Is she angry?
I sat on an empty couch right across Zanaya as I fiddle with the hem of my dress.
"I can't take this anymore." Max stood up from her seat and opened the door. "Can you like, come in already? You've been camping outside for five minutes and we're getting tired of waiting." she scoffed and they slowly went inside.
As soon as they entered, my eyes caught a glimpse of my bunny. My cheeks burned red immediately. My eyes focused on the floor but my feeling tells me that someone is staring but I didn't dare lift my head.
Grey, you're dead.
I told him not to be obvious to our members. I'm still not ready to admit it to them.
But fuck, I miss him so bad.
Before I can even stop myself, I started calling him.
My members wouldn't think something is different between the two of us, right?
"Grey-yah!" I chirped and he had to hide the smile slowly forming on his face.
My cute little bunny.
"Grey! Grey! Grey!" I continually teased. Just then our attention went back to Zanaya when she started giving pecks all over Seth’s face.
Grey stood up properly and I raised an eyebrow.
Zanaya was never like this especially when we're around.
And from the looks of it, even Seth was quite startled.
Grey started poking my side and I had to stop myself from giggling.
My eyes widen at his direction. "Yah!" I gritted my teeth at his direction but he just smiled at me.
"I miss you." he whispered to me and I bite the inside of my cheeks.
Ge'ez, I'm going to die at this rate.
"Yah, babe, are you okay?" My eyes snapped into Seth's direction when I heard his worried tone.
"One sec-ahhh" Zanaya said as if she's about to throw up.
And then she rushed straight to the toilet with all six of us mouths hanging wide open.
It's a good thing our managers and makeup artists are already gone.
Wait, what was that?
"Shoot," Grey broke the silence.
"Is she-is she?" Max cannot continue.
"Oh." Cali bites her lower lip.
"Well Seth, mind explaining what that is all about?" Raze glared at him and we are all damn interested to know his answer.
Just then, one of our managers came in. "We need to go."
"Cali, do you guys have any other schedule after this?" he asked and we all shake our head. We're just going back home.
"Then, can we all head down to their place?" he added and we all understood. Our manager nodded and didn't bother asking. She was already used to us being with SHADOW.
Once we were in the car, everyone had been so quiet. Nobody dared to speak.
"Why are you all so quiet? This is so not you guys." Zanaya chuckled.
Grey was sitting beside me and I felt him grab my hands. I turned my attention to him and he just smiled.
My eyes are getting teary.
What if Zanaya is pregnant?
I don't even know what's gonna happen.
Soon enough, all seven of us arrive at Zanaya and Seth's house. We don't normally hang out to this place but we do if each of our dorms isn't available.
The guys had already contacted the others and I'm pretty sure that they are already inside.
Zanaya seemed a little startled when she noticed that everyone was inside.
Raze and Grey rushed forward and took the boys as far away as possible.
"You guys are not going to watch some porn or something, right?" Zanaya asked and Grey slipped, his ass straight on the floor. I almost burst out laughing but the air in the room feels heavy, thank God I had stopped myself.
"Oh my God! Grey!" Raze tried pulling him up.
Sky started coughing continuously as Demo tries to rub his back for support.
Mono's cheeks were so red while Storm was just smirking.
Zanaya quickly plopped down on the seat nearest to her, it was so abrupt that she bounced back up before being settled.
Seth looked startled and immediately went over.
"Hey, be careful. Are you okay?" he asked.
"Of course I'm okay. Are you?" she asked confused.
"Cali ...." I whispered, low enough for Zanaya not to hear.
"Ne?"
"What are we going to do?" I asked but then Mono 's voice boomed across the room.
"Seth, can we talk to you for a second?"
"Why can't you guys talk in here? Is it that important?" Zanaya asked getting really curious about everything.
I gulp. Zanaya is noticing everything.
Sky cleared his throat, unable to hide the uneasiness seeping through him.
"Ahm, Zanaya, this is just ahmm, boys issue. I mean, SHADOW thing. For our comeback. Yes, our comeback" Raze stuttered.
"Yes. Raze is right. This is just something only we can talk about." Mono added but his voice cracked really high.
I slap my forehead a little. These boys, they are too obvious.
Once the boys were out of the picture, all three of us headed to Zanaya.
"Where did you all go?" she asked and I watch in awe as she tried eating another bar of the chocolate.
"You want some?" she offered and I immediately shake my head.
"Really Tokyo? You're saying No to our favorite chocolate?" she giggled as she took the last bite.
I just smiled at her awkwardly.
I sat down on the floor as Cali turned on the television.
"So.." Cali broke the silence. "How do you feel?" she hesitantly asked.
"Good?" Zanaya's response turning more like a question. A loud sigh escaped her lips. "Okay, tell me what's wrong. You and the boys were acting really weird since earlier." she crossed her arms and we know she's already getting angry.
"I'm starting to get really pissed. I'm not even asking a question anymore. I am demanding for an answer!" she stated and her voice is getting a little bit higher.
I bite my lower lip as I try to stop myself from getting teary. "Zanaya..." I whispered.
"What is it, Tokyo? Tell me so I'd understand." her eyes widen in panic. "Did I do something wrong? Am I in trouble?" she looked troubled.
"No!" Max quickly stood up and sat beside her.
"No! Stop!" Zanaya stood up and walked a few steps away from us which got us all startled.
"Tell me what's wrong because I'm starting to really get scared of how you are all acting."
My heart dropped on the floor.
"No, don't cry, Zaya." I said in a panic as I try to move closer.
Just then, the door suddenly sprung open and Seth and the boys went out.
"What's happening?" I heard Storm asked but tears started falling down on Zanaya's cheeks.
Seth rushed to her and pulled her away bringing her inside the room, leaving us all behind.
And then, we were all left silent.
Zanaya snapping was a little scary.
I don't even know how long it was. We weren't talking. Nobody had the courage to speak.
We were all lost in our own world when the room opened and Seth emerged.
"Is she okay?" Raze immediately asked.
"I don't know. She's pretty much shaken up about it," Seth answered before plopping down on the empty seat beside Grey.
"Do you think she's really pregnant?" Grey asked and Seth looked a little hesitant to answer.
"Oh shut it Seth. We all know you two did it multiple times already. You're married, for fuck's sake!" Max rolled her eyes and Raze let out a loud gasped.
Cali 's eyes widen and I had to nudge Max on the side.
"Sorry about that Seth." I smiled awkwardly but Max just scoffed.
"Calm down Max. We're not even sure yet," Cali chimed in and I had to groan internally. My eyebrows raised a little when Storm started coughing after.
"But that still doesn't mean that she's pregnant," I stated.
It's normal for a girl to be delayed especially if there is a significant change happening in her body, too much exercise or even due to stress.
"Aissst!" Sky messed with his hair. "Can we actually figure out if she's pregnant or not without openly discussing these things? It's bothering me." He pouted.
"She told me she ate some leftover food which probably may have been the cause of her vomiting earlier. But then I remember her having mood swings lately." Seth added. "I don't know. How can I know if she's pregnant or not? It's not like we already had a baby before." he covered his face in frustration.
The room went silent until Max spoke once again.
"Well, what if she is? What will you do?" Max asked, her arms crossed.
My eyes turned to him as he went silent. I am curious as well. Zanaya is not only my member but my friend.
His eyes landed on the ground. Was he afraid to answer Max's question?
"I'm assuming; your silence means you're not yet ready." Cali stated.
"Seth," Raze called his attention. He was in deep thought and somehow, I was thinking that this isn't easy for him as well.
They are at the peak of their career.
"I don't know," Seth muttered. He looked shaken up himself.
I can't blame him. It may not be about me but any idol knows how complicated both their lives will be after this. To add up, the whole world doesn't even know that they are married.
"I don't think I'm ready," he whispered, his voice cracking at the end.
The room went silent.
I don't know what to say or how to react.
Nobody except that one person, Max.
"Well excuse your pretty ass mister, but you should have realized that before you did the deed with my friend!" Max exclaimed, her voice full of anger before she suddenly stood up and march towards the door.
Sky quickly stood up and followed her while my eyes landed on Seth. I can't help but glare at the guy.
We are talking about Zanaya.
"Yah, Seth!" Demo exclaimed and disappointment is visible in his eyes.
"I..." he whispered. "Our comeback is in a few days. I’m not sure. I, ahm, I don't know" he muttered.
"Seth," Grey called Seth 's attention.
"Seth, calm down for a moment. We don't know anything yet. For all we know, Zanaya is not pregnant." Storm patted his back.
"But what if she is?" his voice was shaking.
"Then do what you have to do." Mono added.
"We will support you whatever your decision is." Raze said, already standing up.
"But I can't leave you all behind. We're family. You're my brothers."
"We know, Seth. We know."
I watch how their members tried to calm him down. To be honest, it was goddamn emotional but why do I feel like something is about to go wrong?
"Our fans will be disappointed. And I know you have been disappointed when you found out that I suddenly got married."
"And so what, you're going to let me be? What makes me then? Who am I to your life?"
My breath hitches as I heard Zanaya's voice from behind.
Shit.
"Zanaya, " I heard Cali whispered in panic. I quickly made my way towards her including Cali.
All the boys were now standing up except for Seth and Grey.
"Zaya..." Storm muttered.
"That's what he was trying to say Storm right? He can't leave you all because you're his family. So what am I to him exactly?" her voice cracked.
Zanaya...
"That's not it Zaya,"Storm spoke as he was trying to calm down Zanaya. Storm had always been Zanaya's guy best friend. Even us were sometimes jealous because Zanaya normally calls him first when something is wrong, especially if it concerns about her relationship.
"No! That's exactly it.!" she screamed and everybody flinched.
"Yah, Seth!" Demo called Seth but the guy was stuck, sat frozen on the couch beside Grey who doesn't know what to do as well.
"Zaya, stop crying." I cooed but my voice cracked a little. I am already at the verge of tears. Seeing Zanaya cry makes my heart shatter into pieces.
"You know what. You don't have to worry about it." she started. "Whether I'm pregnant or not, consider it as my problem, not yours. And please, you can keep your stupid fucking dick stick up in your tight black pants, asshole!" she screamed before she stormed out of our house, eyes burning red.
Cali and I immediately followed.
"Zanaya, wait!" I called her. She can't go out looking like that. She's a mess and her face was full of tears.
Once Cali had taken a hold of Zanaya, she hugged her. Zanaya ended up crying on 's shoulders.
After I called our manager to fetch us up, I move closer to Zanaya and rubbed her back.
"Zanaya..." I whispered as I started crying along with her. Cali does the same.
And then I notice my phone beeping.
Grey...
I bit my lower lip before declining the call.
Not today Grey, sorry...
