UNTOLD MARRIAGE ; sunghoon

CHAPTER 25

Sunghoon vowed right on their wedding day that he will never leave his partner's side no matter what circumstance they're in, whether if it's up or down or just in the average level. He promised her and he's not planning to break that promise anytime soon.

Just like where they're currently in, hot in the eyes of media. Two days had passed since the second article broke out the internet and the issue seems like it won't die down anytime soon. In fact, it seems like their silence fuels the fan's rage.

It's also been two days since Sunghoon last saw Rian since the latter wasn't allowed to go out of their dorm. Though, they do talk through the phone.

And today, Rian informed him that she'll be finally have a talk with her management, to discuss about the issue. And by hearing her voice, it seems like she's also nervous just like what he feels at the moment. They don't have something to cover up about the photos that was revealed to the public.

He has seen all of the pictures and he's at least relieved that the picture was just them making out in the car, on the parking lot, even their moment on the beach where he had taken her to apologize for what he did. And seeing them made him realize that they indeed weren't careful just like what Jake tol him when the man accidentally found out about them being a married couple.

Now, his members knew about his secret and he didn't have to hide it to them. Fortunately for him, they are quiet. They are acting as if nothing happened, as if their career wasn't at risk. And he really appreciates that.

And about Rian, she said that she haven't tell the other members. Even when he told her she can tell them so it'll be fair for the both of them but she  said she wasn't ready to inform her other members, which he totally understand.

"You okay? " Sunghoon's train of thoughts got interrupted by one of his members who tapped his shoulder.

The ravenette tears his gaze from the floor and looked at Sunoo who sat beside him.

"You've been quiet since the En O'clock episode. " The younger pointed out,  referring to the shoot they did earlier. Sunghoon sighed causing Sunoo to continue his talking. "You know, engenes wouldn't like to see you this stressed. So I advise you to stay cool. True engenes will stay so don't stress yourself. "

That is not a lie. True fans will remain and will still support you no matter what happen. No matter what issue came about their idol dating someone. It wouldn't be a hindrance or will never be enough for them to stop supporting their idols. Those are the true fans. And now, that they're facing a dating issue, specifically him, this is the right time to see who are the true fans and who are not.

The ravenette sighed again as he unlocked his phone, hoping to see a message from the other but just like earlier, there's still none.

Two hours had already passed and Rian still haven't messaged him, and that only means one thing. And that is she's still having a meeting with her management. And that scares him.

Why is the meeting's taking too long?

Two hours and twenty minutes. Fck!

What if Rian said the truth to them and they will force them apart?

Or what if she gets into a serious punishment for bringing issue to their group?

Fuck, what if they kick her out of the group and cover it by her resigning from their company just like what other companies does whenever they kick their artist out of their management? And then banned her afterwards so no one would accept them?

Sunghoon needed to stop over thinking things.

The rest of the day went just like the usual. With of course, him, checking his phone from time to time.

They did a photoshoot for their comeback photo teaser in case it won't be moved, and then goes back to the practice room to continue practicing.

It was around seven on the evening and Sunghoon was still at the HYBE building, in the studio when his phone suddenly rang.

And Sunghoon haven't answered a phone that fast until now when he saw the caller ID.

"Baby" Was his first word as soon as he answered the call.

"Hey" The female idol replied. "I'm sorry for calling you late"

Sunghoon sighed, hearing her calming voice. "It's okay. Where are you? "

"I just arrived in our house"

Hearing what she said, the ravenette immediately switched off his desktop and fixed his things before leaving the studio with his phone pressed against his ear. "I'm coming home, wait for me"

When Rian replied, Sunghoon bid her goodbye before ending the call and made his way towards the parking lot.

The other members already left the building. Sunghoon climbed inside his car and drove towards their house. It only took a few minutes before he parked his car outside and then entered the house. His eyes immediately scanned the living room where he found a figure sitting on the couch while silently watching tv. A smile immediately formed on his lips, finding her position cute.

Sunghoon removed his jacket before making her way behind her and kissed her cheeks without a warning, startling the girl who's too immersed watching the tv.

"Oh, you're here! " Rian said but Sunghoon didn't pay attention to what she said.

"Have you been crying? " Was his first question upon noticing her pink cheeks, shiny nose and a bit swollen eyes. He walked around the couch and sat beside her.

"What? No. " Sunghoon refused to believe her so he stayed silent, though he brings his hand to cup her cheeks, gently caressing her face cheeks with his thumb. "Fine, I just cried a bit. "

"Why? " The ravenette have an idea why but he still asked.

When Rian remained silent but tears started to gather in her eyes, Sunghoon immediately hushed her, pulling her in his embrace while whispering sweet words. And by this, he knew something happened in the meeting she had with their management.

They stayed like that, the movie she was watching was long forgotten now as their focused were directed to each other.

"It's okay. " She whispered, shifting a little as they hug each other.

Soon after, Rian leaned back and rested her head on his chest, Sunghoon started playing with her soft locks.

"They cancelled all my activities, including my upcoming solos."
