Secretly Married

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 every time I am being linked to someone. It's just that, when I was one of the panelists in a variety show last time, I was sure I saw a glimpse of sadness in Zanaya's eyes.

Of course, I knew it was her.

Plus, my Mom called me the day a dating scandal about me came out. She was a little disappointed and was worried about what both of our families will think.

The good thing is, they understood that me and Zanaya being married isn't known to the public.

And I can't tell my family that we barely even talk.

But then, I don't think she'll be affected by that news. The girl hated my guts. I can't blame her though, I knew I had been a little jerk to her.

Seth Devon, why are you even bothered by it, it's not like you really really like her, huh?

"Everyone, did you miss me?" I laugh at what Sky said to the audience. But of course, our fans love us so much so they eagerly responded.

"Seth, are you sick?" I look around and saw one of our fans looking so sad.

To be honest, I barely got any sleep last night.

"No." I smiled sweetly.

Soon enough, the fan meeting started and I already forgot everything that I was thinking earlier.

Our fans really make us feel so special.

"Seth, are you really dating Sally?"

I smiled at the teenage girl in front of me.

"I'm dating our fans."

Sky hit me from the side and took the mic, "She's mine!"

And our fans started squealing.

After an hour, I was sure there were only a few people left on the line.

"So cute..." I was hearing a lot of fans exclaiming but I guess it's just either of the boys so I didn't dare look around and just pay my attention to the fan in front of me.

Just after the fan I was talking with moved to Demo, I heard an all too familiar squeal beside me.

"Uncle!"

My head turned to my side and my eyes widen a little.

"Ji Hyun, what are you doing here? Who's with you?" I immediately went up from my seat and run around the table so I can get her.

Once I reached her, I crouched down to her level and picked her up.

She immediately kissed me on the cheeks and a soft giggle escaped her lips.

"Awwww!"

"So cute...."

"Seth, you're so sweet."

"Do you know her, Seth?"

I did not pay attention to what our fans are saying. Instead, I look around and try to find someone familiar.

She can't possibly be here, right?

"Hey, Ji Hyun, who are you with?" I asked her in a panic.

"I'm with grandma." she said as she pointed to a direction which I quickly checked.

Once my eyes landed on an all too familiar face, I quickly bowed carefully, afraid that Ji Hyun would fall. I was about to go down when she lifted her hand signaling that it's okay.

She smiled at me and somehow, I felt at ease.

I stare at the five-year-old girl in front of me.

Of course, Zanaya wouldn't be here. What was I thinking?

But why are her niece and mother here anyways?

After realizing that I was standing in the middle of the stage, I decided to turn around and went back to my seat.

I quickly put Ji Hyun at the top of the table so she can seat.

I pinch her cheeks and again, she giggles.

Her pink dress looks really good on her. And she's wearing a very cute headband.

She looked a lot like her aunt, to be honest. I was talking about the image of her on her audition.

"Hello!" Sky waved his hands and moved forward so she can see her thoroughly.

"What's your name?" Grey added.

This isn't good.

I gulped.

Ji Hyun is really fond of me and Zanaya's relationship. I remember during our wedding, she'd always stay beside us and play with us.

One time, Zanaya almost choke to death when Ji Hyun asked us when she will have a cousin.

Actually, Ji Hyun's mom, Zanaya's sister, would video call me from time to time because this little kid kept on saying that she misses me. I was even caught one time by Raze and was asking who she was.

"Hello, I'm Ji Hyun! I'm five!" she said as she show her fingers to the two as if showing how old she really is.

"Ah, you're so cute!" Demo exclaimed.

"Hey, Seth, she looked a lot like the girl you were talking with on the videocall the other time."

My eyes went wide open. I didn't know he would remember.

Before I even knew it, the boys were looking at me expectantly.

"Oh, it's not what you think." I waved my hands.

"Hey little girl, you called this guy your uncle. Is he really your uncle?" Raze sweetly asked and I closed my eyes as Ji Hyun cutely nodded.

"Hey, did your brother had a child that early?" Mono asked confused.

Before I can even speak, Ji Hyun beat me to it.

"Uncle, when can I see Aunt Zaya? I miss her too, like you!" she said as she clapped her hands.

"Oh my God," Grey exclaimed. "Zaya, as in Zanaya?"

Then, my heart starting beating like crazy. I can feel the sweat on my forehead.

I have never been this nervous in my life.

And again, she nodded a little too excited.

"Sweetie, what is your aunt's real name?  Do you know?" Sky asked, grinning widely.

"Hey, can we talk about this later?" I pleaded in panic.

This is such a great trouble.

"Why? It seems like you're not telling something to us, Seth." Storm raised his eyebrow at me.

Before I can even respond, one of our managers came closer and told us that Ji Hyun has to go.

I looked at my manager, my eyes shining. You're a savior!

I quickly stood up and pick her up again.

"Bye-bye!" she said as she wave her hands to the boys to bid goodbye.

My mother-in-law is already at the side of the stage, near our table.

She quickly took Ji Hyun from me and I moved closer to give my mother-in-law a hug.

"Mom, why are you here?" I smiled at her.

Her warm smile greeted me. "You very well know how Ji Hyun misses you and Zanaya. Too bad, Zanaya is in Japan right now but she'll be back in a few days."

So she was in Japan huh?

"By the way, I and your Dad will be going to see your parents, do you have anything to give to them or what?"

"It's okay Mom, I just saw my Mom last time. I'll just make sure to give her a call." I said as I play with Ji Hyun's hair.

"Are you sure?"

I nodded.

"We'll go then. We have been disturbing you for too long."

I quickly shook my head.

"No, Mom. You can visit me anytime. Zanaya and I will try to visit you together one of these days."

I cursed internally. I am damn sure Zanaya will kill me for this.

"Oh, I'll see you then." After I kissed her and Ji Hyun's cheeks, I asked one of our managers to accompany her and make sure she gets out safely.

After a few minutes, I was back in my seat while the boys are all giving me the looks.

I heard Demo whispered, "You need to explain everything later." Then, we all focus our attention back to our fans.

You are in one hell of trouble, man.
