1. Cat and Dog

"Minjeong-Ah, PLEASE just wait a second I really want to take this picture!!"

"Unnie, I'm tired-"

"Please?" I put on my best sulky face although truly I couldn't be more happy. We finished our last "Supernova" stage for this week, and my Minjeong was wearing my favorite outfit. Her beautiful blonde hair was in cute long pigtails with sailor moon-like buns at the top, she was decked out in pink, and even though the outfit was supposed to be silly, it suited her image and figure so well.

Although she's gotten more open over the years, Minjeong is still a very shy, reserved person. Our fans think we are just gatekeeping our photos but in reality we just don't take much. Getting her to take a picture with me is harder than any practice or stage. I have many, MANY pictures of her though. Recently, I've been successful in getting her to do cute TikToks with me, or forcing her rather. But I feel she secretly enjoys it despite her protest.

She sighed heavily in reply, taking my phone from my hand, her eyes rolling almost to the back of her head. "Ok ok don't make that face. We can take a few pictures. Sunbaenim, can you take a few pictures of us?"

I smiled like an idiot after she handed the phone to our manager, FINALLY. Our outfits reminded me so much of my melody and kuromi, I didn't want to waste this opportunity. Of course she's my melody and I'm kuromi, but that's only appearance wise.

Funnily enough, our appearances do not match our personalities. They actually switch. Minjeong looks like a baby maltese - white, small, fluffy, playful - but her personality is more akin to a mature black cat - more reserved, skittish, introverted. My appearance is more like that of a black cat - mysterious, darker, colder-, but winter claims my personality is closer to that of a golden retriever than a black cat. She looks like my melody, but acts more like kuromi. I look like kuromi , but - according to winter - I act like my melody. Even the girls joke we are trapped in each other's bodies and god mixed us up. I don't agree with her but she's so cute that I have t-

"How should we pose? Just regular?"

"U-um...how about something different. We both have pigtails, how about we hold each others hair? Isn't that cute? But if you don't want to that's fine we ca-"

"Ok" without saying another word she grabbed the top of my pigtail, making a cute pouty face towards the camera. Winter was so naturally charming and cute. I joined her and grabbed her hair too , albeit more gently than she did mine.

"We should do a heart pose too, don't you think?"

She nodded in response. I could tell she just wanted to get home and take her costume off and was simply just indulging me.

"1...2....3! One more, 1..2...3! Here you go!" The manager handed me back my phone. I was so excited to see the photos, I already know they came out cute.

"Ok, I'll be going now. I'll text you when I'm back at the dorm."

"Wait wait you don't want to maybe get dinner? I know Aeri and Ningn-"

"I'm ok. I'll see you later ok?" She smiled and left turned the corner to the exit.

"Alright. See you."

I pouted forreal this time, a bit sad we couldn't get more time together before our work day ended. She was stubborn, so I knew that once the answer was no, it would've been hard to convince her otherwise. I could've tried but I decided not to push it today. The girls often joke that I am the only person that can convince Minjeong to do something she doesn't to do and how that was my real power. If that's true, I didn't want to deplete it. I simply sighed and moved on.
