The Friendship
Your Skin On My Skin
“Yah, Song Jiyeon, why don’t you ever listen to me?”
Taemin was whining again. And, God, when he whined he was like a five year old. Pouting lips, doe eyes and all.
“What’s wrong, Taemin-ah?” I sighed, continuing to hit my toe shoes with a hammer.
“Jiyeon-ah, call me oppa! All our years of friendship and you can never listen to that request!” he whined again.
“You’re only five months older than me,” I stated pointedly. He just pouted again. “Arasseo, oppa. Happy?”
“Mmmm,” Taemin hummed back contentedly.
“Now what’s wrong?”
“I need to choreograph a dance and I need your help,” he stated, now all seriousness.
“Is it ballet?” I questioned. He simply looked at me like I had three heads.
“No, it’s hip-hop. When have I ever danced ballet?” he scoffed.
“And when have I ever danced hip-hop, excluding those classes when I was fifteen?” I countered.
“Yah, that doesn’t matter. I just want your opinion,” he pouted.
“All I have to do is watch?” I inquired, my large almond eyes watching him with skepticism.
“Yep!” Taemin’s head bounced up and down like a bobble head, blonde hair flying.
I sighed. “Fine.”
“Ahhh! Jiyeon-ah, I knew you’d help me!” Two thin yet surprisingly strong arms wrapped around me, a body launching after them and knocking me to the ground.
“Yah, Taemin-ah! Let go of me, I said I’d help!”
Taemin kept me in his grasp. A struggle ensued and we eventually found ourselves standing across from each other, glaring softly with smiles on our faces.
“Jiyeon-ah, what did we agree about calling me oppa?” Taemin asked playfully.
“I have a hammer, Lee Taemin. I will use it,” I threatened.
“Call me oppa and I’ll leave you alone,” he sing-songed at me, swaying in place.
“Oppa,” I near growled, brandishing my hammer. “Leave me alone.”
“Mmmmm,” Taemin hummed and held a finger to his chin in mock thought. “No.”
“Yah!” I screeched and started running after him.
I suppose we might have looked like a couple, chasing each other around my private dance studio. Laughter bubbling from our lips and feet slipping on smooth wood floors. But we weren’t like that.
He was just Taemin.
