Devon's POV
"Are you okay?" Sylver hyung asked me the nth time as we wait inside a room all too familiar to all of us.
We are now inside Haven Heals Entertainment and my hands are sweating a little.
I'm so nervous right now, like really nervous.
I would have asked Luna to come with me but I'm scared some people would start talking about her.
I've noticed how she and her family are so low-key about their lives and they don't normally appear on anything related to social media.
If I came here with Luna, people will start questioning my relationship with her and I don't want her to lose her privacy.
"I'm okay. It's about time anyway." I told him and I smiled a little after I saw the rest being a little giddy about being back to the company.
I'm not stupid. I knew how much my members are dying to perform back on stage that Jack is practically leaping on his place along with Joseph and Jiro.
It's about time they go back to where they belong.
As for me, I know I'm still a little hesitant about this but seeing how happy the boys are just by visiting our old company, who am I to take their happiness away.
Soon enough, the door opened and our boss then and some few more faces came in.
We all stood up and bowed to them.
"It's been a long time, huh." Our boss started as he smiled to all of us. "Imagine my shock when we were notified that you're suddenly on V-live." he chuckled.
"Sorry, PD-nim, it was my fault." Jack laughed as he scratched the back of his head.
"Yes, we didn't shut down any of your social media accounts. Maybe because we're still hoping that this day would come," he added and I felt Sylver hyung's hand on mine giving me support.
"And then I saw your video on YouTube. Was it real?" he asked.
"Yes, PD-nim. It was taken from an event that we attended. We sang a song for the celebrant." Noah hyung answered.
Then, I felt someone staring at me so I looked up.
"Does that mean, you're all healed?" he asked, his question directed to me.
I was caught off-guard on how worried he sounded, I almost forgot how everyone treats each other as a family.
Of course, he knew what happened. That's the reason the company allowed me to pull out because it's something that I didn't really intend to do but I just really had to.
"Not fully but I'm getting there," I answered.
"Oh, I understand. I'm happy you're getting better."
"Thanks, PD-nim," I said as I bow to him.
"I know you have an idea why you were all called in here." he started and I gulped.
"Since Devon had been better, we wanted to know if you seven will be back. No, we want you back."
I gulp.
This is it.
I looked up and felt the rest of the boys staring at me.
Jack had been gripping Jiro's arms in anticipation and Joseph hyung had been biting his fingers.
A smile escaped from my lips. It's time to give back to my brothers.
They have stayed too long for me and its time that I give back for all the sacrifices that they've given.
"Of course, we're back," I responded and the rest of the boys except Sylver hyung jumped in excitement.
Jack had jumped over Jiro while Noah and Joseph hyung were crying together.
Joshua hyung was laughing so hard while Sylver hyung just smiled coolly while sitting.
I looked at everyone and I was glad everyone was smiling.
"Your fans would be happy to hear this. But I want everyone to keep this a secret first. We'll need to create a new contract for you guys and we have to write some songs for your comeback."
"Ahmm, about that," Noah hyung interjected. "Devon is still having his therapy. It would be better if he can keep going until he's fully recovered. Anyways, for the songs, you don't have to worry, we never stopped writing songs."
I felt relieved at what Noah hyung said.
Though I said we're ready to be back, I still not fully confident about this.
"Don't worry, you can come to your respective studios anyways. We never removed your things." PD-nim smiled.
So, he was really wishing that we'd be back huh.
Everyone started cheering.
The boys except for Sylver hyung were dancing while some of the managers went out to do an emergency meeting.
I was smiling as I watch them all being happy when Mr. Song called my attention and asked me to exit the room which I obliged.
Sylver hyung noticed and he raised his eyebrows, questioning where I am off too. "I'll be back, hyung." I muttered and I followed Mr. Song inside the room next to where we were earlier.
"It's good to see you, Devon."
I smiled bitterly at what he called me, V. A name I've tried to forget these past two years.
"It's good to see you too, manager-nim." I greeted back as he asked me to sit down on an empty chair in front of him.
"I knew you all just agreed to be back but I thought I'd like to reiterate some things to you beforehand." he looked at me skeptically.
"I understand manager-nim."
"So, we all knew the other boys are still focused on what they are doing."
I gulped.
Of course, the guys never really wanted to stop performing. it was mainly because of me that decided to give up their dreams. However, I knew myself that in time, they will be back to singing, with or without me. I was just so glad that I get to be back with them.
"I wanted to talk to you to remind you of your priorities right now, and that is to fully recover and to focus your whole attention on getting back into shape. That means, therapy, practice, and taking a rest. I don't know if you're in a relationship now or not but I'd say you decide what your priorities should be."
Streaks of sweat bubbled on my forehead. I knew where this is going and I'm not sure I'm not liking it.
"Remember Devon, the boys had given up their two years for you and your fans have been waiting since then. I suggest you think things over and realize that these things are for your brothers, for the people that had been waiting for you," he told me before he left.
I balled my fist in anger.
So it's TRIGGER and my dreams vs Luna.
Shit.
Just when I thought things would get better.
