Pandora's Secret

Tokyo's POV

"Ahhhh!" I blew some air from my mouth as I try to catch my breath.

"I swear this is going to kill me one day," I muttered as I drop on my knees after six long hours of practice.

It doesn't matter if we have a comeback or not. There are days in which we have to practice really hard with our choreographers to make sure we aren't slacking and to keep us in shape.

Anyways, these practices are being put to good use because there are times when we are being booked for a performance with an ample amount of preparation.

My eyes landed on my other members who were busy with their phones.

Zanaya smiling, no doubt, she's messaging her boyfriend, Seth.

It hasn't been long since they had a huge fight and broke up but I don't even want to go into details with that. I'm just glad they are back together.

I checked on the other side and noticed Max's brows furrowed. Two things, it's either she's reading something that doesn't amuse her, or someone with a 4d personality is bugging her, Sky.

Right, that one member of SHADOW who seemed to be always getting into weird accidents with Max. I can still vividly remember that time when his hands accidentally landed on Max's boobs and how Sky run for his life after Max chased him with a baseball bat.

Cali was also smiling. Does she have a boyfriend?

I turned my gaze on the ceiling.

We have a dating ban but it seems like the girls don't give a f**k.

Anyway, as long as they are happy, that's fine with me. Too bad, I don't have any interest in dating right now.

It's not as if someone is courting me anyways.

In fact, I only knew few people, Alex and the whole of his team, a few of my friends, and of course, SHADOW, mainly because Seth is Zanaya's boyfriend.

Imagine our shock when we found out.

I knew the first time Seth appeared in front of our dorm to check on her when she was sick.

My head turned to the right as I heard the sound of my phone beeping.

Too lazy to even get up and due to exhaustion, I moved my body while sliding on the ground to reach for it, creating unappealing sounds due to the metal clasped at the side of my shorts.

"I swear to God Tokyo, I will throw my phone in your tummy if you don't stand up right now. You're being too lazy!" Max muttered and I just grinned at her as my hands finally able to take hold of my phone.

"Got it!" I cheerfully exclaimed which earned soft chuckles from the three.

Sometimes, I can't help myself but be a little cheerful about everything. It's not that I'm not taking their anger seriously but I feel like our days had been dreadful.

And I'm not the type of person who would succumb myself into sadness.

My heart wouldn't be able to handle that.

"Did you just told Alex that you've beaten me on my favorite game? That was one time Tokyo, ONE TIME!"

My grin widens as I realize who sent me the message.

Grey Simons.

Ever since I have gotten his number from Seth, I made it my past time to pester him.

The incident that had happened two years ago still lingers in my mind and I don't know until when I will be bitter about it.

How about never?

I burst in soft giggles as I imagine the frustrated look on the young man's eyes.

He was probably cursing me on his mind.

Like I care anyways.

The more he is frustrated, the fr it is to me.

"Hey, Tokyo, you have that scary grin on your face. What did you do?" I heard Cali asked but I just wiggle my eyebrows, still smiling.

I sat down and started shaking my body sideways, showing how happy I am right now.

"You did not send another set of photos of some men on bikinis to SHADOW's youngest member, did you? I swear Tokyo, one day, you’re going to kill the poor guy..." I saw Zanaya shaking her head, still on the floor with her phone on her hand.

Max and Cali doubled in laughter after remembering the incident. Cali gasping for air as she wipes away the tears forming in her eyes.

Max was hitting the floor with her bare hands.

An hour after I sent those photos to Grey, he came banging right outside our dorm.

The looks on his face when I told him that it sent to him on accident could probably kill thousands of rats.

He was fuming in anger.

"Why do you hate Grey?" Zanaya asked me curiously. "I was so sure you were fangirling on his dancing not a little over two years ago. But then suddenly, you started hated him and now I'm curious why." She looked at me concerned.

Max butted in, "And if I remember it correctly, he was so shy and polite when he first introduced himself to you. But you flipped him over immediately."

"Oh God, I just can't-" Cali tried to sit properly, but failed so she ended up lying on the ground again. "Grey looked like a lost puppy after that."

The grin on my face never went away as I clearly remember every incident.

"And Grey almost killed Seth after finding out that he gave his number to you. Thank God he is older or Grey probably threw Seth across the room." Zanaya chuckled.

I wasn't there when Grey found out that Seth gave his number to me but Zanaya was.

She definitely said Grey looked scary.

Tssk. Scary my a*s. He's still the same jerk I first met and will always be.

"I don't hate him," I said in denial. "That was pure coincidence."

I will never admit to the girls the reason why I hate Grey Simons. Alex knowing is more than enough and I can barely even able to handle that i***t.

Zanaya pouted as she offers her hands to me. We're done practicing and I'm more than excited to go home and feel the soft fabric inside my room, which of course, is my bed.

After a few minutes, we were already inside our van, bickering with each other.

Right after we reached our dorm, my phone buzzed so I pulled it out dorm my pocket as I enter my room.

"DID YOU JUST SEENZONED ME, TOKYO?"

I chuckled as I read another one of his message.

I totally forgot about responding on his message. But since it made him even angrier, I will do the same with his new message.

So I headed straight to my bathroom and strip down on my clothes before I surrender myself to a cold shower.

I'll surely have a better sleep after this.

After I finished, I pulled out a loose white shirt which hung just some three inches above my knees. I didn't bother wearing any shorts to cover my underwear and started blow drying my hair.

It wasn't even a good five minutes when I heard some banging right outside my door.

"Ah, hey! Stop banging on my door!!" I whined. It was probably Max because she loves doing that when she knows I'm resting.

So much for a goodnight sleep.

But of course, the banging didn't stop.

"Ugh!" I turned off the hairdryer before marching right through the direction of my door.

As my hands landed on the doorknob, I swiftly swing the door open only to be greeted by a fuming Grey Simons, his right hand hanging midair as he is about to knock once again.

"What the-" I stopped midway as his eyes landed on my almost n***d form, his eyes widened while his mouth hanging wide open.

"fuck..." I finished.

Did I said earlier that I'm not wearing my b*a?

I didn't right? Well, s**t.
