Chapter 21: Chapter 21

Grey's POV

"This is important! Can you guys, like, listen to me for a second?" Seth whined but Sky and Demo turned the volume of the music even louder, dancing over the new song of Red Velvet.

"Woah!!!" Demo did a mini-wave which Sky followed.

"Oh yeah!!!" Sky growled and I covered my ears a little because he was being too loud, but I was still chuckling coz they look so adorable.

"Hey, do the next step!" I cheered and I noticed Seth's face darkening. I gave him a peace sign in return, leaning my back on the couch.

My eyes landed on Mono who was trying to fix the arm of the stuffed toy he received from our fan during our fan meet. He was sitting on the floor, his face concentrated like he's trying to solve a very hard puzzle.

On my right is Storm who was looking at his phone, which I found strange by the way since his brows were furrowed and he looked fucking serious I wonder if he's having an argument with Cali.

Raze, on the other hand, was just sitting at the far corner of the room, clutching his phone like someone is going to grab it away from him. He was smiling cheekily and I'm getting scared a little.

I swear Raze had been acting so weird lately and I don't know if I'm the only person who've noticed but he seemed to be going a lot alone lately.

"Aissst!" Seth messed up his hair in annoyance, his voice can barely be heard due to the loud music playing.

It has been two days since Tokyo and the rest of WHISTLE went to Australia to shoot for WHISTLE TV.

The beautiful image of Tokyo flashes before me.

I fucking miss her. Too bad they had to go to Australia immediately because of those articles appearing online. The news about two idols being married made our agencies panic.

Seth told us that both our bosses were planning to stage a break up for them. We were all worried when we found out that Zanaya had a mini breakdown because of it.

After Tokyo told me about her trip, I headed straight to her but we ended up hanging out on their dorm's rooftop because we've been banned on each other's dorm in the meantime. I'm still thankful they were allowing Tokyo to go out.

Tokyo and I barely even talk about it. We ended up cuddling under the night sky and I will surely treasure that moment.

My phone beeping pulled me back to my trains of thoughts.

Alex: Dude, Tokyo will kill me if I tell you. I'm not even sure you know how strong that girl is.

A long sigh escaped my lips after reading Alex's response.

Apparently, Alex knows how Tokyo and I first met. I didn't know how but it slipped one time when we were talking and his eyes widened the moment it slipped into his mouth.

I almost missed it if I didn't hear Tokyo's name.

No matter how many times I asked Alex, he wouldn't budge.

How can he possibly know when I don't?

Did Tokyo tell her? And what does he mean by Tokyo being strong?

Me: Tokyo is like a fragile kid Alex. What are you even talking about?

Tokyo is like a delicate soul. If everything will go my way, I don't even want Tokyo to lift a single finger.

Alex was teasing me last time about Tokyo but of course, I didn't confirm anything.

I forgot to ask Tokyo what Alex knows since Tokyo wanted us to be a secret, I can't just blabber everything to Alex even though we're friends.

He was even pestering me why I was trying to find out how Tokyo and I first met. But then I can't tell him why.

Alex: Fragile kid my ass. Tokyo threw me once on the floor just because I ate her food. Is that what you call fragile?

I snickered at his words.

Impossible.

Even though Tokyo and I had been bickering with each other since before, I've never seen that side of her which Alex was insisting.

There's no way Tokyo can harm anyone.

She's just so adorable in my eyes.

"Red!!!" Demo shrieked and Sky jumped real high like he was on a concert.

Normally, I would be dancing with them but my mind was pre-occupied by a certain beautiful girl that I can't even concentrate.

"Stop! Hey!!" Storm started screaming after Sky accidentally knocked down his arm, his phone flying out of his hands.

While trying to hold back my laughter, I grab the bottle of juice from the table and take a swig.

"I'm going to be a father." Seth whispered but loud enough for me to hear.

As long as his words register on my brain, my eyes widen, the juice on my mouth spitting straight to Mono's face.

"Yah, Grey!!!!" he screamed and I didn't even bother helping him, Seth 's words kept ringing in my ears.

The stuffed toy on Mono 's hands torn in the middle, his mouth hanging wide open once he realizes what Seth had said.

Storm was down on the floor after he slipped as he was trying to get his phone from Sky.

Demo was frozen in his place, his right hand raised, index finger pointing upward.

I thought they were dancing? He seemed like he is about to do the dance step of a famous dance ccraze.

"Hey, Seth-ah, stop joking like that. This isn't the best time to do some pranks, you know." Raze said awkwardly and Demo laughed.

"Right, Seth-ah, you almost got me, " Demo chuckled awkwardly, though he stopped the music and moved closer to where I was sitting.

I can't blame him. I felt the energy on my body getting drained at his words.

"Besides, how is Zanaya pregnant when she just went to Australia to shoot WHISTLE TV. That's impossible." Mono added, wiping the juice I spit off from his face.

I grinned at him and apologized.

Seth stared at the ground, not uttering a word. He started fiddling with his hands, a habit he has whenever he was nervous.

Shit. Is he serious?

My grip on the bottle loosens until it falls on the ground, creating a deafening sound that neither any of us bothers to pay attention.

"Seth..." Sky mumbled, his voice shaking. "You're going to be a father?" he asked.

Seth lifted his head and smiled at us.

How is he so calm about this?

"That's what I've been trying to tell you guys but you seemed uninterested." he chuckled awkwardly, scratching the back of his head.

All of us went silent, nobody dared to utter a word.

Wow. Seth, a father?

I mean, I get that he's married but he's not yet even 25, and so is Zaya.

I remember how the whole SHADOW and WHISTLE have thought about that possibility before which even lead to Seth and Zanaya having a huge fight. But I didn't know it's actually true.

But after everything that had happened, and WHISTLE suddenly being sent to Australia, something feels so weird.

"How about their WHISTLE TV? How is Zanaya able to shoot if she's pregnant?" I asked confused. I'm not even sure I'm making any sense. Wouldn't her stomach be showing?

"They're going to rush it. That's the reason why they were sent to Australia anyway, so Zanaya will be closer to her parents. Though I'd like to stay with her the entire time if possible."

"Wow..." Mono exclaimed and everyone fell silent.

"When did you found out?" Storm asked and Seth looked at him while smiling.

He seemed really happy like he's not bothered by the future.

Zanaya being pregnant is huge. The fans don't even know that they are married.

"I guess I already felt it the last time we were talking about it. But I got the confirmation after our boss called me the other day. That was the same day I headed to BP ENTERTAINMENT because they told Zanaya that we're going to break up." he chuckled. "Her boss isn't as scary as everybody thought," he mumbled, smiling to himself as if remembering something.

He looked at us while smiling.

Why does it seem like Seth had become a different person? Does being married and soon becoming a father changes a man?

I feel like it wasn't long ago when we were still messing around with each other, playing like some kids but now, he'd soon have a kid of his own.

"Three months, she had been pregnant for three months."

Oh God.

"Wow...I don't have anything to say. I guess, congrats?" Raze mumbled as we all stare at Seth, who just happen to drop a bombshell in front of us.

"But she had been dancing the entire time," I asked confused.

How was she pregnant when she was attending every fucking music show?

Seth's smile dropped for a moment. "She didn't know. She literally just found out after the incident last time. And she didn't take that fact very well."

"Fuck, she must have been stressed." Demo chimed in.

After being with them for a long time, I've come to get used to seeing the different side of Zanaya's vulnerability, and I can say Zanaya is a little sensitive. She had experienced a lot, cried a lot and I admire her for being strong after all the shits that she and Seth had been through.

I don't wanna know how the hell she wasn't aware of being her being pregnant because I've come to accept the fact that the human's body defies a lot of wonders I don't even want to bother myself finding an explanation.

"So, what's your plan?" Storm asked.

This time, all of us already seated on the couch, facing each other.

This is probably one of those moments we are serious about everything.

"I'm not yet sure to be honest." Seth answered.

"That kid better has me as his or her favorite uncle or I will flip." Sky declared and Seth smiled at his words.

"Hey! If she's a girl, I will make sure my sister finds her cute little dresses!" Demo exclaimed a little too excited.

"That kid will be the best dancer; I will be the teacher." Raze added and I groan at his words.

"We'll converse in different languages." Mono proudly said.

"Zanaya speaks fluently in multiple languages, Mono. Don't even brag about it to us." Raze snickered.

"The two of us will exercise together." I grinned.

"You do realize I am closest the Zanaya, right?" Storm smirked and we all grunted in protest.

It is true though.

Zanaya treats Storm like her older brother.

Once again, we all fell silent, the news too overwhelming for all of us.

"Shouldn't we be celebrating?" Mono mumbled and Demo came running from the kitchen with a few bottles of beer on his hands.

Seth laughed but took a bottle.

Until each of us has a bottle of our own.

"For Seth and Zanaya's baby! For SHADOW!" Mono offered a toast and we all clanked our bottle together.

"For our fans!" we shouted in unison.

And then the image of Tokyo coming into view.

Will we end up the same way as Seth and Zanaya?

I pulled my phone, scanning the names on my contacts until my eyes landed on a particular name on my favorites...

Pancake...

I know we still have a long way to go and we aren't even official yet but I am so damn sure we will, I'll make sure of that.

If I have to bribe Alex so I can find out, I will. because I am so determined to make Tokyo my last and only love.

Weird images suddenly started flashing in my mind and my heart started beating rapidly, I had to scold myself internally.

Stop. I love Tokyo now. I told myself.

My heart only hammered real hard on my chest for only two women. Once to some girl who hated my guts, unfazed by the fact that I am a famous artist, and now, to Tokyo, who didn't bother acting all cute to me, instead, did things to make me remember that I am just Grey Simons, a human, capable of hurting and loving like anybody else.

A long sigh escaped my lips.

Who do I keep remembering that girl? I don't even know her name.

Without even thinking, I started typing a message to Tokyo, reminding myself to focus my attention and mind on her.

Fuck, why do I feel like I am cheating?

I shake my head in annoyance.

"Babe, call me once you're awake. I miss your fucking voice."

Yes. This is the right thing to do.

I love Tokyo now.

I shouldn't be remembering someone I don't even know.
