sjm meets taiwanese scenery
♬ i sent these out in august 2010! i no longer remember who got what. these are not the original photos.
❊ the drabbles are connected to the original postcard photos and locales, all of them taiwanese.
✿ qmi and sjm gen. 8 in total, roughly 1,200 words in all.
taipei 101; qmi
Kyuhyun nudges Zhou Mi's shoulder. "You know," he says, as casually as he can manage without laughing his face off at his own joke, "you could write lyrics about that building."
Zhou Mi, who has a mouthful of weird Taiwanese bloody peanut whatever cake hindering his ability to speak, looks at him, a little suspiciously.
"How Taiwan makes you feel. To your Chinese fans."
Zhou Mi just chews at him.
Kyuhyun breathes deeply to still the inevitable giggles, then says, voice pitched high, "I am as obvious as Taipei 101 in the skyline--" Zhou Mi chokes on his mouthful of whatever, which Kyuhyun takes as a sign of encouragement, so he finishes: "So WHY WONT YOU NOTICE MEEE--EEEEP"
Zhou Mi, in addition to being taller, smarter, and better at writing than Kyuhyun, has longer limbs. He wins the tickle war.
danshui (tamsui) pier; sjm6
Siwon is convinced it's the perfect appeal-to-the-natives sort of photo-op. Boy band, dock, fishermen in boats, what could go wrong?
(Everything, apparently. Ryeowook sleepwalks into a bucket of live, squirmy fish and yelps so loudly that Henry, who is busy pretending to be Taiwanese, whips around to see what's wrong, trips on a fish, and violins Donghae in the stomach, sending him toppling over onto Zhou Mi, who's crouched on the ground cooing at someone's dog. Siwon's smile for the reporter is looking increasingly pasted on.)
"Well," their manager says, surveying the carnage as Kyuhyun gleefully tweets a photo of the (literal) boypile, "I think we need a new leader. Zhou Mi?"
Somewhere in the pile, an arm twitches feebly.
alishan; qmi
As far as romantic getaways go, this - getting roused out of bed at 4am to sit on a train and watch the sun rise - is pretty lame. He falls asleep twice on the way to the station (on Zhou Mi, so it's at least a little romantic, at least until Zhou Mi wakes him by elbowing him in the face.)
The train is filled with old Japanese tourists who keep giving them funny looks, and he can feel Zhou Mi starting to inch abashedly to the side. So he thunks his head on Zhou Mi's incredibly bony shoulder and pretends to be asleep.
(Zhou Mi doesn't elbow him this time.)
sun-moon lake cable car [ ♥]; sjm (qmi)
The cable car speeds up a little before the highest point looking over the lake.
"Beautiful," Siwon sighs.
Ryeowook and Henry are taking pictures; Donghae is tweeting.
Kyuhyun is trying to stick his head out the window.
"Don't," Zhou Mi gasps from between his fingers. Then he covers his eyes with one hand and grabs one of Kyuhyun's with the other. It turns out that Zhou Mi is not only afraid of buzzy bugs (Kyuhyun has taken to crowing "mosquito!" at random intervals just to watch him flail), the dark, and sashimi, but also heights.
It doesnt occur to Zhou Mi to let go until long after they've alighted from the car; Kyuhyun doesn't mind.
heart of love river (kaohsiung); qmi
"I've heard about this river," Zhou Mi is saying happily, and Kyuhyun can clearly visualize the love poetry writing itself in his head, verse by verse, punctuated by heartmarks and tildes. Zhou Mi writes his lyrics in pencil, but Kyuhyun suspects the words come out in his head in glittery pink, the same shade as the ridiculous gel pen Kyuhyun gave him as a gag gift on his birthday.
"What a nice name," Zhou Mi is still sighing, his elbows resting on the railing of the bridge.
Kyuhyun nudges against him. "We're going to end up singing something sappy about rivers on our next album, aren't we," he says.
Zhou Mi thwaps him on the head. "Stop ruining the moment."
danshui (tamsui); qmi
The language barrier is Kyuhyun's least favorite thing about SJM. He never knows what the heck is going on and is constantly relegated to looking like a very fluffy vegetable person. Zhou Mi's a silver lining; Kyuhyun's never had a personal translator before. It's pretty fucking awesome.
But so is the look on Zhou Mi's face when he realizes none of the Danshui locals speak Mandarin, and the hour they waste laughing and flailing and contorting their faces like four year olds, trying to communicate with shopkeepers.
Zhou Mi hands him a weird fishy fried thing that neither of them actually wanted as they sit near a pier. For an unwanted fishy fried thing, it tastes pretty good.
And he'll reconsider, just this once. The language barrier isn't so bad either.
sun-moon lake; sjm
Kyuhyun is good at some things. Video games, singing, basic math, speaking Korean (well, in comparison to some of his bandmates. Like Zhou Mi and Henry).
He is bad at steering motorboats. Under his command, the (rented) SS SJM is on a crash course to what will undoubtedly be a deeply tragic ending. As Ryeowook shrieks something unintelligible in the back, Kyuhyun cackles and swerves, narrowly avoiding shipwreck by miniature island.
A cold and clammy hand attaches itself to his arm. It's Zhou Mi. The rest of him is on the floor. "How," he wheezes, and then he stops talking and curls into an oblongish sort of ball as Kyuhyun attempts to dodge another rock, without much success.
Some fantastical noises, incoherent screaming, and sad whimpering later, the motor croaks to a halt.
"Whoaa," Kyuhyun breathes. "Can we do that again?"
Zhou Mi rolls over.
taipei 101 observation deck; qmi
Zhou Mi starts frowning after about the sixteenth Taipei 101 joke. "I'm not THAT tall," he keeps insisting.
Kyuhyun still thinks it's hilarious. Even moreso when they get to the observatory deck and find out that Zhou Mi is terrified of heights. Kyuhyun ducks under the safety railing (can't get in trouble if you're an idol, right?) presses himself against the huge windows while Zhou Mi exclaims vaguely at him and tugs him back, as if the glass might disappear any moment.
Kyuhyun is stronger, sadly, and yanks him in the opposite direction so they're both plastered against the glass and Zhou Mi's making sad wounded puppy noises.
"This is so cool," Kyuhyun breathes.
Zhou Mi's scrambling with his iPhone. "KUIXIAN IS SO COMPLETELY HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!" he types desperately. "BULLYING MEEEAOaskko9ixldjifo"
Kyuhyun wrestles the phone out of his hands, presses 'Post' before Zhou Mi can object. Then he tosses the phone to Henry, who's conveniently sauntering past, whistling "A Whole New World" and snickering at his bandmates.
Later, back in the hotel, Zhou Mi is flopped on his bed, stomach down, his feet kicking happily in the air while he posts a selca with terrible lighting and then clicks, trepidation curling in the pit of his stomach, on the "Comments (2398)" on his previous post. Kyuhyun, who's in the shower, doesn't hear his breathy squeaks of laughter.
