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 part of their new song.
Now, no matter how much I pleaded to Seth, he wouldn’t let me listen to it.
“You have to wait like how our fans do.” Sky Chimed in and I plopped myself on the couch.
I am currently in their dorm. I have no schedules and since Seth had been busy practicing and recording for their comeback, I try to spend my time by dropping by their dorm instead.
“Yeah, anyway, you didn’t let us listen to your last song before as well no matter how much we pleaded,” Demo added and I just grinned at him.
Of course, I knew they wouldn’t let me listen to it. If they do, I might feel bad eventually since I’d feel like it would be unfair to their fans.
A chuckle escaped my lips.
“This is all Grey’s fault,” I muttered and Grey choked down on his food he was sharing with Raze.
He turned around and glared at me after drinking some water.
“I didn’t know you were in our dressing room when I came in, okay! That was one time!” he snickered and I just rolled my eyes at his childishness.
Anyways, I was just trying to pester them and lighten up the mood.
This is the only rest day they have for the week so I went to bring them some food.
“Yah, Zanaya, this honestly so so good.” Raze turned towards my direction and I just grinned. “Where did you buy these?” he added and my eyes landed on Storm who is silently eating beside them.
“I didn’t. Cali cooked them all.” at that, Storm started coughing endlessly.
Demo ended up giving him a glass of water as he rubs his back.
Seth raised his eyebrows at me and I just gave him a wink. He shook his head while smiling.
They were all seated on the floor as they ate the food on the table. These guys are too lazy to head down to the dining room and eat.
“By the way, what are the others doing?” Sky casually asked while drinking his water and of course, I can see through him.
“You mean, what is Max doing?” I pouted and he immediately spat the water he is drinking in front of him earning cries of protest from the others.
“Ah, really?” Raze turned towards Sky while the other frantically wipe the water on his lap.
Seth, who already finished eating sat beside me, his arm hanging on my shoulder
“You are being mean,” he told me, still smiling.
“What? I thought he wanna know.” I smiled cheekily and he just poked the tip of my nose in response.
“Max went to her mom’s house. I think her childhood friend from New Zealand visited. And I saw his picture before.” I casually told them.
“His?” Sky turned towards me, his mouth hanging wide open.
“Uhuh! Max and he looks so cute together. Actual–” before I can even finish my sentence, Sky stood up from his seat and headed towards his room, our eyes all following his every move.
Just when we thought nothing will happen, his room opened once again and Sky went out with a black leather jacket, a cap, and a mask as he headed straight through the door.
“Hey, where are going?” Raze screamed but we didn’t hear any response.
Soon enough, the room went silent as we try to process what just happened.
“Did Sky just left with his food unfinished because of Max?” Demo muttered and I burst out laughing.
All the boys stared at me but I was still cracking, my hands on my stomach and my eyes getting teary.
“Hey, Seth, I think you need to have your wife checked by a doctor.” I heard Mono muttered but I was still doubling with laughter.
“Oh my God, Zanaya is getting scary. Seth, don’t you think so too?” Grey stated and Seth just laughed at their reactions.
After I calm down a little.
“Max will kill me after this,” I told them and they look at me confused.
Seth’s eyes widen.
“Zaya, did you pull a trick on Sky?” he asked and I shake my head.
“Max’s friend really came but I didn’t know Sky would be jealous.”
“And?” Raze asked a little impatiently.
“I’m a little scared for him because I forgot to tell him one little detail,” Grey looked at me, “Or two?” I added.
“Jesus, just tell us!!!” Demo screamed while his hands on Grey’s shoulder.
“Max’s friend is a big fan of you guys… especially of Sky,” I told them.
“Oh, isn’t that a good thing?” Grey asked.
“It should be, except that he’s gay…” I finished.
Raze’s food fell on the floor and I can’t help but laugh. Mono broke his plate and Grey coughed endlessly.
There is nothing wrong with being gay, okay. They are fun to be with and most often, the most honest human beings you would meet. I just find it funny because Sky might be marching to meet Max but he’ll end up having her friend being all over him.
I hope Sky forgives me.
I’ve met Max’s friend before and he’s a total sweetheart. But since this is Korea and they have a different culture, I hope Sky survives. Max’s friend is so playful but he meant no harm. The girls have come to love the guy as well.
I stopped laughing when I felt Seth pulling me by the waist.
“Hey,” he called for my attention.
He grabbed both of my hands and soon enough, I was facing his direction.
He quickly gave me a peck on the lips which send little butterflies on my stomach.
He just took a bath and though I know he had already slept earlier, he still looks a little tired.
“I miss you..” he muttered as he cupped my face with his hands.
“I miss you too,” I responded, a smile forming on my lips.
I just love staring at my husband’s face.
Well, who wouldn’t when he look so fucking hot?
“Hey, Zanaya, congrats on your MV, it reached 100 million views so fast.” Mono butted in.
“Ah, yey.” I clapped so excitedly as I remember the support we’re getting for, our fans.
The girls and I were so happy. We feel like all those practices really pave off.
“We’re so envious. Our new song will soon be released.” Demo muttered and I raised my eyebrows at them.
“Stop kidding me. You won huge and major awards and you’re scared?” I told them and Seth fidgeted beside me.
I turned to look at him when I realized all of them kept quiet.
Wow. Are they for real?
It was them I realized that even the most successful groups have insecurities. No matter how successful they are now, they still feel like shit sometimes which proves that they are indeed human.
And I think it is a good thing because it makes people stronger and it somehow gives each of us the motivation to do better.
I turned towards Seth who seems lost on his own thoughts.
My hand brushes the hair covering his beautiful eyes.
“Don’t be nervous. I am sure your comeback will be lit. Judging from the few notes I heard from Grey, I am sure the whole world will be shaken.” I told him before pulling him in a hug.
His hands wrapped around me as we wave sideways, his sweet smell lingering.
Oh God he smells so good.
“Thanks for that little pep talk babe. I needed it,” he whispered, and somehow, my heart dropped on the floor as I realized how Seth feels.
I promise to let him know how great he is every time.
“How about this, if you guys beat our recent record, then, the girls and I will be treating you all,” I told them and the rest of the boys looked at my direction.
Seth pulled me away from him a little as he stares at my face.
“Is that a challenge?” he raised his eyebrow.
I’m sure the girls will kill me for this but I want to cheer up the boys a little. Though I am sure we’ll lose big time.
This is SHADOW we are talking about. They currently rule the world.
“Deal!” Mono muttered and I laughed at how giddy they all have become.
Seth then moved closer to me as he whispered, “If we win, you’re mine for a week.” and I gulped at how sexy he sounded.
Fuck. Did I get myself into trouble?
