Rivers Of Tears (A 2ho fanfiction)

Prologue part 1

It was late in the evening and most of the boys had already left the practice room.

The only ones that were stil there were Inho, Inpyo, Jihyeong and Sungho.

Inho and Inpyo were preparing a dance routine while the other two were just sitting down.

As they restarted the song and started dancing again, Jihyeong noticed that Sungho was very invested in watching Inho.
He was watching his every move with utmost attention.

Jihyeong was pretty sure he saw him staring at Inho's ass and *cough**cough* crotch area *cough**cough* as well.

"Do you like him or something?" Jihyeong asked.

Sungho ignored him, still paying all of his undivided attention to Inho.

Jihyeong shoved Sungho's shoulder almost making him fall face first into the ground.

"What the hell!" Sungho exclaimed, sitting back up

"I asked you something." Jihyeong said
"What?" Sungho asked sharply
"Do you like him?"
"Who?"

Jihyeong nudged his head at Inho's direction.

"What are you doing?" Sungho was confused. Seeing Inho dance, completely threw him off.

"Inho! Do you like him!" Jihyeong said impatiently. Luckily Inho and Inpyo didn't hear him.

"What?!" Sungho's eyes widened. But when the question completely sank in, a bright pink tinted his cheeks. "No." He quickly said, hoping Jihyeong didn't notice the brief moment of his embarrassment.

But, sadly for Sungho, he noticed it.

"What was that?" Jihyeong asked
"What was what?"
"That."
"What?"
"That face you made."
"What face?"
"The face you made right after I asked you if you like Inho."
"I have no idea what you're talking about."

Inho and Inpyo decided to finish for today, and sat down next to the other two.
Sungho was relieved that Jihyeong finally stopped interrogating him.
But that relief didn't last very long.

Sungho stared at the drops of sweat running down Inho's neck and forehead.
Suddenly he felt like the temperature of the room rised. His face became red and he nervously gulped.

Jihyeong looked at Sungho, raising his eyebrows.

Inho and Inpyo saw the quick exchange between the boys.
"What's going on here?" Inho asked

"I have to go." Sungho said, picking up his bag and scattering away.

"Hey wait!" Inho yelled. "What was that about?" He asked, turning to Jihyeong.

"Eh, it's nothing." Jihyeong quickly brushed it off. "I should probably get going as well." And with that, he left.

*****

Sungho hurried to the front door but once there, he stopped.

He had liked Inho for a long time. About three years now.
He really wanted to tell him but he was afraid that he would reject him, or even stop talking to him completely.

But maybe this was a sign. Maybe he should finally tell him.

He started walking back to the practice room. But he made a turn to the dressing rooms instead.

He scribbled something on a piece of paper and slipped it into Inho's locker at the top.

He then proceeded to the backstage of the auditorium. It wasn't anything special but it was the only place he knew would be empty today.

Now he waits.

*****

About half an hour later, Inho and inpyo decided to finish.

They were both tired, their legs hurt like hell and their shirts were drenched with sweat.

They headed to the dressing rooms.

Inho took off his shirt and went to get a towel from his locker.
But as soon as he opened his locker, a piece of paper flew out.
He picked it up and read the messy writing on it.

Meet me backstage
-Sungho

"What's that about?" Inpyo asked, looking over Inho's shoulder.
"I don't know. Guess I'll have to check for myself."

Inho took a quick shower and put on some fresh clothes before making his way backstage.

*****

The place was completely empty except for the small, black haired boy sitting at the make up table at the end of the room.

"What's this about?" Inho asked, walking towards Sungho.

Sungho looked up at him and suddenly felt a large lump in his throat and his heart beat rise. This seemed alot harder than he thought it was going to be.
He tried to say something but he couldn't get the words out of his mouth.

"Are you okay?" Inho said.
Sungho just nodded.

The latter got up from his chair and cleared his throat.
"Well there's something i have to tell you. I've been waiting a long time to tell you this and it's really hard so please don't freak out, okay?"

Inho gave a quick nod along with a weirded out look.

Sungho hesitated for a moment but ended up just blurting it out "I like you. And I'm sorry if this is weird for you, but i... I've liked you for a long time i just didn't know what to say and... and i was scared that you would..."

He was cut off by Inho placing his finger over his lips. "It's okay." He said softly. "Actually, i kind of like you too."

Inho noticed tears glimmering in the corners of Sungho's eyes.
"What's wrong?" He asked

"Nothing." Sungho said, smiling and wiping the tears from his eyes "I just wasn't expecting this to go so well."

Inho chuckled. He picked up Sungho's chin and gave him a quick peck on the lips.
Sungho's face turned red. He hurriedly left, saying nothing but "See you later."

And that's how their long journey to happiness began.
