UNTOLD MARRIAGE ; sunghoon

CHAPTER 14

Sunghoon didn't know why he's nervous. Maybe because of the tone that the pd used when he summoned him in the building? As if he was guilty on something he didn't know?

After the the CEO told him that, the call immediately ended, leaving the idol confused and nervous. He told Rian that he was needed in the company and that he'll be right back after so she should not wait for him.

Rian, of course, having no choice, he let his husband go, though her guts are saying that something is off. That something is wrong.

So Sunghoon went back to the building, thinking what could possibly it that his presence were needed in the company building.

Did he do something?

Did he break any rules that was meant for them to follow?

But the CEO said that it was the second time this year, what does he mean by that?

Sunghoon bit his lips as he parked his car on the parking lot before he instantly get out of his car and entered the building. He rode the lift towards the floor of the office of the CEO but the elevator stopped on a certain floor, causing him to stand straight and takes a step on the corner knowing that it must be staffs who'll join the lift.

Though, he was surprised when the ravenette saw one of the members entering the elevator.

"Jake? " He asked confusedly whilst looking at the aussie man who looked stressed. "I thought you were with the members who already at the dorm? "

Hearing this, Jake shrugged his shoulder as he pressed his floor. "No, I need to finish this single I was working on so I can finally give it to the producers and include it in our next album. " He answered and looked at the other. "You? What are you still doing here? "

By Jake's question, Sunghoon can't help but to get nervous again as he was reminded of why he's at the building and will have a meeting with the CEO.

"I don't exactly know. Pdnim just called me and asked my presence here. "

Jake just hummed from what the younger had said and silence filled the little space they're in.

After a few seconds, the door opened after having a 'ting' sound and both of them walked out from the lift and made their way to the office of the CEO.

They knocked multiple times before they entered after hearing a faint sound coming from the inside.

Jake, who walked first, handed the flash drive to the CEO before he mouthed Sunghoon that he'll just wait for him outside. Sunghoon nodded making the other pat his shoulder multiple times and exited the room.

The ravenette stood their nervously and awkwardly. There's this tension when you come face to face with the man, alone in a room. His office to be specific.

"So," The CEO started while clasping his hand, looking at the idol standing in front of his desk. "We received an email about you."

About me?

"What email, pdnim? " Sunghoon asked, hoping that it wasn't about something that Rian is involve.

"It was a picture of you with a woman. " The CEO started and turned the laptop around so it would face his direction. "Not just an ordinary woman but also an idol."

Sunghoon caught his breath as a big lump formed in his throat, preventing him to talk as his eyes glued on the screen. It was pictures. Lots of pictures with different places and Sunghoon is well aware when and where the pictures were taken.

"Now, Sunghoon. What is your relationship with Im Rian? "

Fuck.

Fuck!!

By now, it seems that Sunghoon's mind goes blank, unable for him to think properly. His hands started shaking as bullet of sweats started rolling down from his forehead. And so suddenly, the room grew hot yet cold at the same time.

If their company is aware of this, then the person who sent this to HYBE probably already sent it to... FUCK!

His breath goes heavy and fast, it's almost as if he can't breath. He felt suffocated at the moment and the way their CEO is looking at him, pressuring him to talk doesn't help at all.

"I'm asking again, Sunghoon. What is your relationship with one of the members of HerShe? "

"I-i... " Sunghoon couldn't say it. He can't say it. If he utter a word, a single word, everything can go upside down. His career, his relationship with his wife, the fans.... And also what about Rian?

The idol didn't expect this. He wasn't expecting this. He has no idea that some paparazzi shit were tailing them, capturing their date outside the Seoul. He's just thankful enough that there's no picture that was taken in Paris or else, it's over. It's done.

"I know you are aware that you are still in a dating ban, Park Sunghoon. " The CEO spoke with a neutral tone making the male idol to look down. "Now tell me, what is your relationship with this idol? "

The ravenette pursed his lips as he closed his eyes. If only he knew that this would happen, then he should've ready himself. He should've prepared himself, prepare his answer because now, his mind is not functioning well. It's as if it's frozen and no matter how hard he tries to think of anything that will not lead him confessing about his real relationship with the other idol, it's still not helping.

Sunghoon opened his mouth to say something only to be cut off as the door opened. "Sunghoon, tell pdnim the truth".

It was Jake. He was staring at the ravenette with knowing eyes.

"Jake! " Sunghoon felt like he was betrayed. Jake wanted him to tell to their CEO about him being married to Rian? Did he not know what mess that fact alone can create? It can be the cause of their downfall, and what about his wife? Her solo projects are coming and having a scandal or issue like this can prevent it from happening.

Sunghoon glared at Jake who didn't budge from the look he is throwing him.

"What truth? " The pd asked, looking in between the man standing at the door and to the idol in front of his desk.

"Sorry, Sunghoo-"

"Jake don't! "

"Sunghoon and Rian are composing a song for their collaboration in Sunghoon's working mixtape"
