Gold's POV
"Stop whistling!" I chuckled when a pillow went straight to my ass after Zero deliberately threw it in my direction.
I leaned forward and threw it back to him which he caught perfectly. He turned around a little but not before crunching his nose in annoyance.
"Yow, Gold," Mono laughed as he plopped his body on the couch.
It was a day after Synn and I became official. We weren't able to meet after the awards as there are too many people but we video called the whole night.
She looks so cute being all shy. Her cheeks were red the whole time and I just love teasing her.
"You seemed happy. Was it because of your ex or did you finally get a hold of Synn?" Demo teased and I grimaced.
They knew how I've been stressed after we head back to the country and not once was I able to get a hold of my girl. She was distant. I didn't know why but even the times I tried to visit her at their dorm had been futile. She was never there.
And then I heard from Alex that they were going out with a few of their friends, like what the fuck?
I mean, what did I do wrong? I told her I have limited access through my phone and we're busy over the tour and she was okay with it. We've been like that for months but she just started acting cold just the last month of our tour.
But then my brows furrowed, my ex?
"My ex is an old story. What does it have to do with me?" I asked before sitting on the ground as Zero was occupying the whole thing. Chase and Eros were on the other couch, and Raze was in the kitchen.
"Didn't Alex tell you?" Chase raised his eyebrow.
"Like I would ask if I know?" I snickered and they laughed.
And what about Alex, what is this about now?
Without even thinking, I sent Alex a text.
"What happened with Synn when I was away?"
I then put down my phone and turned my attention to the others.
"Well, you fucked up," Mono laughed a little and I shake my head.
"We were all good before that. I even called her after that hashtag of her," I ransack my mind of anything that will cost her to hate me.
"Such a clueless kid," Eros rolled his eyebrows.
"Hey, I'm pretty sure I act older than you are at most times," I teased and he giggled.
"I second that," Demo chimed in. He was on his phone.
"Really? At least I would be decent enough to care about my girlfriend's feelings. I mean, pictures of your ex blasted the internet while we were in Japan. She was wearing something similar to what you own plus that bucket hat you gave her last time," Eros stated and it got me more confused.
"And?" I asked. What's the problem then? The hat? It was a gift I gave to her. I can't simply go and take it back. That's stupid.
Every idol is aware that we are being shipped to multiple people. But I don't keep track of it. I didn't know I need to.
"And she took a photo, "coincidentally", the same time you were in Japan. To make everything worse, you posted something the same day with a stupid caption on that selfie which made it sound like you're happy to see her," Demo explained even stressing out a few words.
Japan?
"Wait, I simply said it was nice meeting our fans, didn't I?"I asked clueless. What's wrong with that?
I scratch my head in annoyance.
"Yeah, you did. But Synn didn't know that. What do you think she'll have in mind then?" Chase shook his head in annoyance.
"Fuck!" I exclaimed the moment I realized what they were trying to say.
Damn it. Why am I not aware of that? So that's why she was avoiding me. She was hurt.
"Ahhh, stupid! Stupid!" I messed up my hair in frustration.
I was startled when another pillow hit me, this time, square in the face.
"You just can't let other people sleep, Gold, huh?" Zero was annoyed. By this time, he was already seated on the couch.
"Hey! I'm dying here," I groaned dramatically.
"Well die on your own, stupid. Stop acting rashly. Are you and Synn now in a relationship?" he asked and I nodded.
"Yeah, just last night. I couldn't help it. I was goddamn frustrated about everything I had to make us official the moment I got the chance," I told them.
The boys were aware of our closeness before and I was being honest with them about everything.
"And your ex?" Mono interjected.
Where the hell are they going with this?
"As I said, she's an old story. I'm with Synn now,"
I heard Demo snicker. He was still on his phone but it felt like the reaction was for me.
"What?" I'm starting to feel annoyed. Why does it feel like they know more than I do when in fact I am the one in the relationship?
"Old story huh?" Mono started. "Not 'I-don't-love-her-anymore' but just an old story. Tell you what, no matter how old a story is, if its content still matters, it will still be relevant,"
My mouth hangs wide open, the organ inside my chest started palpitating.
For a second, I felt uncomfortable at how Zero was staring at me. It was as if he was reading my thoughts.
"I hope you were sure about your decision. Synn is a very nice girl, selfless if I may add. Don't go around making her feel rainbows and butterflies if you weren't sure about your feelings with your ex. The last time you saw your ex, you fucking got wasted. That says something, kid,"
His words made me shut up even more.
What exactly do I feel right now?
I know what I feel about Synn now. She's the best thing that had happened to me. All these months, she did nothing but gave me endearing memories. But with my ex, I wasn't sure. I wouldn't like her still, right? I mean, not after everything.
My thoughts were interrupted when I heard the sound of my phone beeping.
I've got two messages, one from Synn while the other was from Alex.
I decided to check hers first.
"Hey cupcake, I just woke up 💜 "
I gulped, my heart skipping a beat.
Yeah, I'm positive I like her.
I didn't know why I didn't respond to her immediately but I hope I did coz what Alex told me crushed my conscience into pieces
"Fuck off, dude. Stop meeting Synn if you're not over your ex. You don't even know how sad she was after your crazy Steffy posted those photos. Man it up dude. I know we're friends but I won't hesitate to hit you in the face,"
"Oh fuck," I cursed myself in instant.
What the hell Gold, you prick!
