Teen clubs aren't really Taemin's thing. He only goes because his friend Kibum drags him along, insisting that he needs to have at least one hundred social experiences under his belt before he goes to college. He tries to enjoy himself but dancing in a social setting is outside of his comfort level. It doesn't involve choreographed technique and that makes him anxious. One wrong move could make him look like an idiot in front of his peers, and that's not a risk that he's willing to take.
There's only one thing that makes the three hours of sitting on a bar stool and sulking meaningful, and that's seeing Kim Jonghyun. He's not a frequent visitor of the club, but when he's there he lights up the place. He's cute, friendly, and quite sought after by both genders as a dance partner. Taemin watches Jonghyun on the dance floor, his eyes following every movement that he makes. The neon lights hit his blond hair and face, exposing the slight sweat he works up as he grinds to the rhythm of the music with his current dance partner, a pretty girl who looks to be in her twenties. Taemin's mesmerized…and completely jealous.
"Man I'm beat," Kibum groans out as he flops down on a bar stool next to Taemin. "They kept playing all of my favorite songs and I just had to keep dancing. I'm gonna order a root beer, do you want anything Taemin? …Taemin? Tae -"
He stops and looks at Taemin, whose mouth is hanging open slightly. He uses his finger to trace Taemin's gaze and grins as he sees where it ends.
"I knew it," he says. He pinches Taemin's arm and the younger boy yelps. "Why don't you just go ask him to dance with you instead of sitting here and drooling over him?"
"Hyung I was not drooling," Taemin says and Kibum raises an eyebrow. "I wasn't!"
"Sure you weren't," Kibum says grinning. "Now the club closes in fifteen minutes. Do you plan on spending that time watching him grind or would you rather be the one he's grinding on?"
He laughs as he watches Taemin's face turns a light shade of red.
"That's what I thought."
"You and I both know that I'm not going anywhere near him," Taemin says. "He's a great dancer and I don't want to look like a dork in comparison."
Kibum rolls his eyes.
"You have got to be kidding me. There is no possible way that you could look like a dork. You're a great dancer. You just have to relax and go with the flow! Now go over there and get that fine piece of man before someone else does!"
He gives Taemin a slight push out of his stool. Taemin starts walking toward the center of the floor. He's inches away from Jonghyun, whose currently scoping out the place for his next partner. He gets closer and closer, hoping that the nervousness that he feels isn't visible.
Seconds later his eyes lock with Jonghyun's and he freezes. He feels butterflies rising in his stomach (or is that the food he ate three hours ago coming back to haunt him?). At the thought of potentially losing his lunch in front of dozens of people he quickly turns away and moves back over to Kibum, sighing in defeat as he throws himself onto the bar stool, head in his hands.
"I was so close," he groans out and Kibum pats his shoulder.
"It's okay," he says soothingly, "maybe next time."
"Ladies and gentleman we've reached the last two songs of the night," the club DJ announces. "So find a partner and keep moving until the end!"
"You wanna go now?" Kibum asks and Taemin shakes his head.
"You go dance," he says. "I don't mind staying here."
"Are you sure?" Kibum asks uncertainly.
"I'm fine hyung," Taemin says smiling. "Now go!"
"Well if you insist. Oh god I love this song!"
Taemin smiles as Kibum returns to the dance floor automatically grabbing a guy and gyrating to the beat.
"I could never do something like that," he mutters. "He's lucky."
"Who's lucky?"
Taemin jumps slightly as Jonghyun sits on the stool next to him.
"M-my friend Kibum," Taemin says. "He's been out there for less than a minute and already he's got a dance partner."
"You know I saw you out there a few minutes ago," Jonghyun says and Taemin forces himself not to blush. "You probably could've had a dance partner if you if you stayed out there. Why did you turn back around?"
"I d-didn't really feel like dancing anymore."
"Really? Well that stinks. You see I love this song and I want to dance with you."
Taemin blinks.
"Really?" he asks and Jonghyun laughs.
"Really," he says. "So how about it?"
Taemin grins.
"Sure," he says.
Jonghyun grins and leads Taemin out into the crowd. Taemin feels the bass of the music flowing through his body and he feels his excitement building. They start moving to the beat and for some reason there's no more self consciousness, no more nerves. There's just Taemin and Jonghyun, grinding to the rhythm together. Taemin lets all of stress go and focuses on having fun.
"And you didn't feel like dancing," Jonghyun says grinning as he and Taemin continue to move in unison. "You seem pretty enthusiastic to me."
He gives Taemin's waist a playful pinch and Taemin laughs.
The song ends and Taemin feels his awkwardness slowly sinking back in as Jonghyun lets go of the loose hold that he has on Taemin's hips. Jonghyun sees the change and laughs.
"Hey I was wondering -" he starts. But suddenly Kibum shouts from the other side of the room, 'Tae-ah! We gotta go!' and Taemin frowns in disappointment.
Jonghyun laughs. "Can you give us two seconds please?" he asks Kibum who grins widely and nods in approval. Taemin smiles softly as Jonghyun turns his gaze back to him.
"I was wondering," he repeats, "will you be here tomorrow night?"
"Y-yes," Taemin replies and Jonghyun grins.
"Great," he says happily, "I mean I'd hate to show up and not see you."
Taemin smiles.
"I agree," he says. "I'll see you tomorrow then?"
"Definitely." Taemin smiles as he walks off and Kibum drags him out of the club.
"I can't believe that you actually approached him!" he exclaims.
"Actually he approached me," Taemin replies sheepishly and Kibum grins.
"Even better," he says. "And now we both have something to look forward to tomorrow night!"
"You mean you -"
"- that's right. I got that guy's number. His name is Lee Jinki. That's got a nice ring to it, don't you think?"
Taemin laughs as Kibum goes full speed ahead into a conversation about the chat that he had with Jinki, silently thinking to himself that teen clubs and social experiences might be his things after all.
