“YOU CAN’T DO this to me again,” Taemin complained as soon as they were alone. Jihyo ignored him as she just grabbed her towel, making her way to the changing room. She was still sweaty after the game, and it wasn’t comfortable for her at all.

“What do you mean by again? It’s not like anyone challenged you to dance before this,” she stated obvious, throwing her jersey out from cubicle. Taemin made disgusting face as that sweaty, smelly jersey fell on his face.

“It’s not about dance. I’m talking about you,” he started to peace back forth as he was talking.

Jihyo poked her head out from the gap, “What about me?”

“You always make me be your scapegoat. I don’t like it.” He stubbornly crossed his arms, as he sat down on table.

“Isn’t that what friends do?” she held her hand out. Getting what she needed, Taemin passed her T-shirt.

“Yeah, but you should know that I don’t like to dance in front of everyone. I want to keep it secret,” he stomped on his feet like a stubborn child that was when Jihyo came out.

“Do you think its superman-superman game? And what, you want to dance in front of your stuff toys?” Taemin quickly shook his head, “Why would I dance in front of stuff toys? In fact, I don’t even have any.”

Jihyo stopped her action and stared at her friend. Taemin stopped blabbering once he saw her giving him look, “Okay…maybe, I have one…” Jihyo’s brows almost reached to the sky, “Okay, fine. Maybe more than one–“

“You have total twelve stuff toys, Taemin. Most of them are your ‘Bannie Uncle’. What are you? A kid?” Taemin pouted as he looked at her.

Jihyo widened her eyes, pointing at Taemin’s face she started to walk to him, “This. This. You need to change this, Taemin-ah.” She grabbed his shoulder, giving them firm squeeze as she declared, “Be a man, Lee Taemin. I’ll help you to become one,” she nodded her head confidently.

Taemin started at her, gaping, “You…you’ll what?”

Out of reflex, Jihyo punched him on stomach. Of course, lightly. “You, Byuntae.”

SO, IT WAS decided, Taemin and Kai will perform against each other on their annual festival, which was one month away. Judging them was going to be hard since both of them studied at different schools. But since the competition was already declared, Kai had to figure out
