Obsession [PART 1]

Reconciliation

   "Sunoo, Sunghoon, both of you have a photoshoot together tomorrow." Their manager said out of nowhere.

   They just finished shooting their Vlive in the dorm when the manager informed them about their schedule for tomorrow.

   Sunoo eyes were wide as he stares at their manager. He saw Sunghoon nodded and said he got it before walking away. "Sunoo?" He snapped his focus back to their manager when he heard his name being called.

   "Hyung..." He wants to refuse the offer, but doing so would be selfish. He should think about the team and what would help them grow in the oversaturated industry of Kpop.

   "Okay." He said. Smile showing on his face whilst his palms were getting sweaty.

   The ride going to their photoshoot site was filled with silence. Sunoo pretended to sleep while Sunghoon was staring outside the window.

   Their individual shoot went as smooth as a butter. But when it was time for their unit shoot, awkward arms slung on each other shoulders, forced smile and no eye contact between the two.

   The director sighed for the third time because of the awkwardness between the two of them. The director called their manager and talk to him about something they couldn't hear clearly before telling them they'll take five.

   Their manager went towards them and brought them somewhere secluded.

   "Did you guys fight?" He said. It wasn't rare for group members to fight with each other. Sure, they can express their frustration with each other, but if their fight begins to hinder their job performance, it becomes a problem.

   Sunoo and Sunghoon hang their head low. Knowing fully well that they have something they need to sort between the two of them.

   "I'll give you time to make up and after that, please do your work seriously. This is for your own good." He said and leave them behind.

   Sunghoon leaned his back on the wall, arms crossed in front of him. He wasn't looking at the boy who was boring his eyes into his own.

   Sunoo noticed how Sunghoon wouldn't even look at him. He dropped his gaze and hung his head low.

   "I'm sorry," Sunoo said. "I'm sorry for telling you to leave me alone."

   Sunghoon didn't want to reply. But he noticed Sunoo's shaking shoulders. He reaches out for his chin and lifts his head to make the boy look at him. Red eyes and flushed face meet his eyes.

   "This is why I don't want to be near you," Sunghoon said. Hand letting goes of his chins and looked away from Sunoo.

   "You always end up crying when you're with me." Sunoo immediately shakes his head when he heard the words coming out from Sunghoon's mouth. He can't bear the feeling of being ignored by the older.

   "Stop avoiding me." He said. Opposite of what he told Sunghoon in the practice room.
He could feel the tears, gathering in his eyes when Sunghoon didn't answer him.

   "Alright." Sunghoon finally answered after minutes passed. Sunoo blinks his eyes, tears now non-existence.

   His shoulder felt light when he heard the reply. He reaches out his hand and Sunghoon grabbed it into his own.

   "Are we fine now?" Sunoo wants closure of the things going on between them. His eyes looking into Sunghoon's and lips forming a small pout.

   Sunghoon soft smile appears on his face and he nodded. "I'm sorry for all of the things I've put you through." He said. Sunoo felt a gentle squeeze on his hand, he saw how Sunghoon happy face slowly turns into a sad one.

   Sunoo replies with swaying their connected hands left and right. "It's fine, Hyung," Sunoo said.

   They stayed together, holding hands and talking about what they did during their non-talking period. Sunoo told him to never avoid him again, Sunghoon promised that he'll never avoid the younger again even if they got into a big fight.

   Their manager came to fetch them after their short break has ended. When he arrives at the place he left them to talk, a smile appears on his face when he saw the two talking and joking with each other, also holding hands, which he ignored and thought of it as the two being such a close friend. He called them and they continue the photoshoot.

   The director ended up complimenting them when the shoot was over. He told them that he'll be looking forward to working together with them again.

   The ride going home felt more fun than before. Sunoo finally got to talk his heart out. Sunghoon kept quiet, listening attentively to the boy words and talk occasionally when he had to.

   When they arrived at their dorm, no one asks them about the sudden change. They just act normally, as if nothing ever happened. Jay and Jake were still feeling worried, they felt as if Sunghoon change was too abrupt. They were hoping that they were wrong and just overthinking about their current situation.
