"Why don't you talk with him about it?" ZhouMi asked the older as he took a bite of his sandwich. ZhouMi was a new member, but since he's also Chinese, he quickly developed a good relationship with Hangeng.

 

"He just does it because he cares about me, he doesn't mean to prejudice me." Hangeng replies calmly.

 

"That's true, but still... Because of that you can never properly show fans how you really are. If Heechul hyung didn't keep answering things for you, you'd be much more popular." Zhou Mi argues, taking another bite.

 

"But... I... Uh..." the older stuttered, already out of arguments.

 

"Ge, don't be like that. I know you like him a lot, but that doesn't mean you have to fully submit to him." ZhouMi said, now sipping his orange juice.

 

"Yeah, but I kind of like it when he answers for me or when he translates things for me... At least he gives me a little of attention in middle of our busy schedule..." Hangeng muttered the last part.

 

 

"Hangeng, could you please come here for a second?" The manager called.

 

"Of course." Hangeng replied, following the manager.

 

When both sat down, the manager's face went very professional.

 

"Hangeng, me and SM proudly announces that we will create a new sub-unit: Super Junior M, a Chinese unit." The manager states proudly.

 

Hangeng's eyes go wide at this. A Chinese unit? With only 3 members?

 

"I know it's sudden, but we thought that having a Chinese unit would help Super Junior to be more known and since China is a growing country, we decided to create Super Junior M." The manager continues. "In the unit will be composed of: You, ZhouMi, Henry, Kyuhyun, Siwon, Donghae and Ryeowook. You, as the older one, will be the leader." The manager finishes with a content smile.

 

By that time, Hangeng was breathless. A sub-unit of 7 members with him as the leader? Hangeng could only wonder if that would work. Also, just being in Super Junior was very tiring and demanded a lot from him, with the sub-unit he didn't know if he would be able to make it, plus, out of the 7 members, only 3 could properly speak Chinese.

 

"O-okay... Thank you for the opportunity..." Hangeng bows and stands up to leave.

 

"Oh, by the way, you will use your real name as your Chinese stage name." The manager says. "And don't forget to tell your now unit companions. More details will be defined later on."

 

Hangeng nodded and got out of the room. As he got out of the room, a worried Heechul ran up to him.

 

"Hangeng, is everything alright?" He asked his eyes wide with worry.

 

"Yes..." Hangeng said, nodding.

 

The other members, who were scattered around doing whatever, looked at Hangeng with curious eyes.

 

"Uhm... Siwon, Kyuhyun, Ryeowook, Donghae, ZhouMi and Henry, could you please come with me?" Hangeng asked, motioning for them to follow him outside.

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

"Why did you call us, hyung?" Siwon asked.

 

Everyone's expressions had this question written all over them.

 

"Well... The company is starting a new Super Junior sub-unit: Super Junior M. It's a Chinese sub-unit. All of us here will be part of it. I was chosen to be the leader, since I'm the older." Hangeng said in slightly broken Korean. Some members’s face still showed confusion. Embarrassed and heavily blushing, Hangeng repeated the phrase in Chinese and Henry translated to the others.

 

"But... Only you, Henry and ZhouMi can speak proper Chinese..." Ryeowook muttered.

 

"The company will give us more details later on. That's it for now." Hangeng finished, sighing.

 

All members nodded and went back inside, where the other members waited anxiously for some kind of explanation.

 

Before Hangeng could enter, an arm stopped him. It was ZhouMi.

 

"ZhouMi?" Hangeng questioned the younger.

 

"Ge, why do you look so concerned?" ZhouMi asked in Chinese.

 

"It's nothing, I'm just tired." Hangeng lied, even though he was a tad tired indeed.

 

"Ge, you don't have to be like this. You have me by your side and Henry too. You don't have to suffer by your own." ZhouMi said.

 

"Thank you, ZhouMi" Hangeng said sincerely, smiling.

 

Suddenly, Hangeng felt warmth around him. ZhouMi's arms wrapped around his torso, his face buried in the crook of Hangeng's neck. Blushing, Hangeng slowly answered the hug, wrapping his arms around ZhouMi's neck.

 

"Sometimes I wish you had fallen for me..." ZhouMi sighed.

 

[              "I... I like you a lot, ge. I care for you a lot. You always look so tired and lonely... I want to always be by your side, supporting you... Please accept my feelings." ZhouMi confessed, blushing and looking down.

 

Hangeng had his eyes widened in shock.

 

"ZhouMi... You... You're very nice and a lovely person, but I already have feelings for someone else..." Hangeng apologized, embarrassed.   ]

One day, the company decided to give a rare break to SuJu M members, they let the members go back to the Korean dorm and rest for a couple of days.

 

The SuJu M members entered the dorm and were quickly surrounded by the other members, who happily greeted them.

 

Among everyone, Hangeng spotted Heechul, who seemed to be searching for someone. As soon as their eyes meet, Heechul runs up to Hangeng. 

 

"Hangeng!" Heechul chirped, hugging Hangeng. "I missed you~" 

 

"I... I missed you too..." Hangeng said lowly, embarrassed. 

 

When Heechul saw ZhouMi looking at them, he awkwardly let Hangeng go.

 

"So... How have you been?" Heechul asked, smiling shyly, totally unlike him.

 

"Fine, just a bit tired..." Hangeng said, embarrassed by the slightly awkward atmosphere.

After dinner, all members gathered in the living room.

 

"Guys, since we are all here now, we have to reorganize that room arrangements. There are 8 rooms and 15 members... So 7 rooms will have two members. And someone will sleep alone." Leeteuk announced.

 

Muttering rapidly spread among the members. Donghae and Hyukjae promptly presented themselves as roommates. Next were Kyuhyun and Sungmin. Then Yesung and Ryeowook. KangIn offered to stay with Leeteuk. Kibum asked to sleep alone. Zhoumi offered to stay with Henry. Siwon ended up with Shindong as he knew Heechul would want to stay with Hangeng.

 

As they went their room, Heechul seemed somehow shy, which was quite rare for him.

 

"Hyung... Is everything okay?" Hangeng asked, concerned.

 

"It's nothing." Heechul dismissed. "Hey, Hangeng."

 

"Hm?" Hangeng hummed, showing he was paying attention.

 

"You... Can call me 'ge' if you want to... I mean, you're Chinese so maybe it's more natural for you to call me 'ge'." Heechul said, avoiding Hangeng's surprised gaze as he scratched his neck.

 

"U-uh?" Hangeng stuttered surprised. "Why so suddenly... Uh... G-ge...?" Hangeng asked, hesitant to call Heechul 'ge'.

 

"I... Saw you talking with ZhouMi in Chinese some time ago and noticed that he always call you 'ge', so I was just wondering if you would feel better calling me 'ge'." Heechul explained, still obviously embarrassed.

 

"Ah... Well... Thank you for thinking so considerately..." Hangeng thanked, bowing.

 

"N-no problem..." Heechul replied.

 

Thankfully they quickly arrived at their dorm, avoiding the weird atmosphere.

 

"I still have to take a shower... You can go to sleep already, ge." Hangeng said, the word 'ge'  still feeling a bit funny and hesitant in his mouth. 

 

"Nah, don't worry, I can wait for you. Plus, I still have to change into pajamas." Heechul said, sitting on one of the beds.

 

 

Heechul was sitting on top of the bed, staring at a random place, thinking about... Well, basically Hangeng, but also ZhouMi. In a few words, Heechul envied ZhouMi. In a short time, ZhouMi got very close to Hangeng and ZhouMi obviously held feelings toward the older. On top of that, Hangeng and ZhouMi were in the same sub-unit, meaning that they spent a lot of time together. Just thinking about it already made Heechul's whole body burn in jealousy, sadness and frustration.

 

Sudenly, he heard a click and the bathroom's door opened, revealing a shirtless Hangeng, who was only wearing some black shorts.

 

"Sorry for keeping you waiting, hyu- ge." Hangeng apologized, almost calling Heechul ‘hyung’ instead of ‘ge’.

 

"That's okay. C'mon, let's sleep." Heechul said, motioning to the bed next to his.

 

"Okay..." Hangeng said, nodding.

 

As he lied down, Heechul turned off the lights closed his eyes to sleep. But Hangeng didn't sleep, he kept looking at Heechul: his face, his hair, his chest slowly rising and falling, everything.

 

"I'll let go this time. This is my last chance to look at him." Hangeng thought.

 

Hangeng got so deep and lost as he looked at Heechul that he didn't notice when the older opened his eyes.

 

"Hangeng? What are you doing?" Heechul asked, giggling a bit and covering his mouth with his hand. But the giggles died as quickly as they strated. "Hangeng? Are you okay? Why are you crying?" Heechul asked, now very concerned.

 

Moving, Heechul lied next to Hangeng, face-to-face with the younger.

 

Confused, Hangeng rubbed his eyes and noticed they were full of tears and touching his face, he noticed it was soaked with his own painful tears. Very slowly and caringly, Heechul wiped Hangeng's tears away and started caressing the younger's hair.

 

"Will you tell ge what is happening?" Heechul whispered softly, in a way Hangeng had never seen before.

 

Hangeng shook his head and buried his face in Heechul's chest. Crying his heart out, he could only feel Heechul's warmth around him.

 

"I love you." He thought. He wanted to say it, but nothing but sobs came from his mouth.
