Cali's POVMy eyes caught my manager's strange behavior. I am currently doing a shoot and is in the waiting room while our makeup artists do some finishing touches on my face. The pictorial was almost finished and I only had to make a few more shots and I can go home and take a rest. But since earlier, I've noticed how my manager seemed to be out of focus. He'd paced back and forth, then stop as if in deep thought, and then he's back into doing that again. Sometimes, he'd checked his phone and bite his fingernails, a habit I knew he does whenever something is bothering him.Was he in trouble? For the entire shoot, I tried to distract myself by focusing on what the cameraman was instructing me to do. Until the shoot had come to an end and both my manager and I were already inside our van. But even so, he was still restless, I can't help but get worried. He had been my manager even when I was still a trainee. I needed one sometimes because I was given gigs like commercials and picto

Storm's POV"Do I have to beg?" my insides clenched at her words, the sound of her voice shaking almost eating my heart alive. Why do I always have to bring her pain? Why do I always have to be the person to hurt her? I wanted to move, forward, close to her, and pull her close in my arms. But I can't. We both know we can't. Not anymore. Yesterday, I was summoned at her office, due to me breaking something I promised I won't way back. Back when she was still a trainee. I knew when I heard my manager telling me about the meeting, right then, I knew it's game over. I can't win this battle. Not at this time. But what hurts to me the most is to see her breaking like this. She was stubborn. She found a way to make me go out of my dorm to meet her. With the help of both of our managers. Though afraid, I knew her manager was worried for her, probably why he agreed to help her. "Chu, we both know we have to stop this," I told her, "for now..." I added. I want to ask her to wait but

Cali's POVMy eyes focused on the view before me, the fast movement of the car making me feel a little more at ease somehow. These days, I find it hard to get some sleep. The image of Storm telling me things are over between us is eating my sanity. And I can't even tell what I feel to my members. I don't wanna burden them with this. Besides, I wasn't entirely truthful to them, not sharing them the relationship that we have.The members and I are off to another university festival and we're on the car on our way to the place. My eyes caught our member's movements. Max was tapping on her phone as well as Tokyo.My stomach churned a little, not really minding the fact that my phone got confiscated a few days ago so I can refrain from contacting Storm. It's not like he's going to respond anyway.Just then, the sound of Zanaya's ringtone blasting inside the car caught my attention, my eyes immediately landing on her direction. I noticed her fidgeted a little and somehow, I felt a pang

Storm's POVWith my right hand covering my eyes, my body rested on the couch inside our hotel room. My breathing a little unstable, something I have been suffering lately after Cali and I had broken up. And of course, I knew why. Anxiety, it's starting to succumb within me. And none of my members noticed. At least for now. This isn't new to me anyway. Ever since I am someone who had suffered from depression and anxiety and has been vocal about it. And in my whole existence, the only times I pretended I was okay were the times when she's no longer mine. The first time, I thought it broke me. I thought I lost myself. The days were suffocating. Everything felt so dull and black. If not for the boys, my family, and our fans, I'm not even sure how I was able to survive each day without breaking down. But just when I thought the first time was the hardest, the second time hit me more like a load of truck. It's a fucking slap in the face, with a fucking hammer and a surfboard. It's ki

Cali's POVThere he is, in pure bliss, his face the very same when I last saw him, except that he seemed to have lost a lot of weight. And here he is, in front of me. Like nothing had happened. Like he didn't leave... Like he didn't stop caring...Like he didn't turn his back on me twice... Like he didn't act like he stopped loving me... Here he is, all in flesh. But that's more than enough for my knees to start shaking, my heart about to burst."Storm..."Just mentioning of his name made my insides churn. Even with all the pain, even after I cried for so many nights, even though it killed me a thousand times, I'd still welcome Storm back in my arms. My eyes locked with his, and I know, I always know he loves me. His eyes would always tell. And like the first time, I know he left because he needs to. I guess our love for each other isn't enough for both of us to stay together. Why is the world so fucking cruel? But then again, I fucking miss him so much. I had to close my e

Cali's POVTwo weeks, three? It took me that long to recover. Recover from the pain of being betrayed. I stopped spacing out, stopped crying myself to sleep. I stopped thinking that the world will stop if he wasn't with me. Relatively speaking, that was the shortest recovery span that I had with anything related to Storm. The last one took me forever. I can't say I'm finally okay but I can say that I'm at least able to pull myself together. And then fast forward, it's now more than a year after the whole fiasco inside our dorm, of us, suddenly learning that one of our members are secretly married for roughly two years, of finding out that Storm knew all that but he didn't bother telling me... Of him meeting my boss only for the end result to be bad as we both expected, of him telling me that we simply give in...Everything... I just felt like, everything just fell apart. I almost died when a car almost hit me after that time he went to our agency to talk to our boss. It took me

Cali's POVA long sigh escaped my lips. Seeing what Grey just did after they came back just confirmed my suspicion that the two may be had something going on. I watch as Seth carefully sat down beside Zanaya while the other still not uttering a word. Shrugging my shoulders, I put my attention back to my phone when I felt the vibration. From my peripheral vision, I can feel someone staring in my direction.Storm I gulped. It's been what? I can't even remember the last time we really talked. I nibbled my lower lip as I focus my attention back on my phone. Don't mind him, Cali.A small smile escaped my lips at what Donny had said. He was telling us a cute incident on their group's concert abroad. Me, Jino, and Donny had this group chat and we tend to message each other whenever there was something fun that had happened within our day. Jino would always tell us how Jackson was being clingy and jealous over us which we just laughed off. My body stiffened a little when Storm suddenly

Cali's POV"You're not being serious, are you? You're insane," I shake my head in utter disappointment and disgust. I look at him with disdain and I wanted to turn around and leave. But I can't. As much as I hate him right now, I can't simply turn my back and leave. Not when this is basically the first time we've talked in private after all that happened. "My God, you just can't fucking keep your mouth with you," I whispered, my hand brushing my long hair in frustration. And he was just there, staring at me with his arms crossed over his chest. Not a sign of remorse can be seen on his expression. In fact, I'd say he was proud of what he's done. "I told you that you're not allowed to entertain suitors. I was specific. Too specific Chu," his voice was stern and if this was a different occasion, I would have swoon over what he has done but no. Not this time. "You almost punched him! He was just telling me to take care. What is wrong with you?" I wanted to scream. We were at our dor
