Heechul sat on the plush couch in the cozy waiting room, his phone in hand, scrolling through Twitter with a playful smile on his face. The excitement from the fans was palpable, their joy evident in every tweet and post he scrolled past. But what really caught his attention were the adorable TeukChul shippers, swooning over their interactions from the fanmeet.

"Hey, Teukie, come look at this!" Heechul called out with a mischievous grin as Leeteuk entered the room, still riding the high from the successful fanmeet.

Leeteuk walked over, his curiosity piqued, and peered over Heechul's shoulder at the screen. His eyes widened as he read the tweets, and he couldn't help but chuckle at the playful comments from their fans.

"They're at it again, aren't they?" Leeteuk chuckled, shaking his head in amusement.

Heechul smirked, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Seems like it, Teukie. Looks like some of them are already predicting a TeukChul divorce era soon because of that one loaf full of TeukChul interactions."

Leeteuk burst into laughter, his signature bright smile lighting up the room along with his cute dimples. "Oh, they're something else, these shippers."

Heechul tilted his head, his smile softening as he looked at Leeteuk. "But you know what? I kind of love it. It's like they're writing our own story for us."

Leeteuk's expression turned affectionate as he looked back at Heechul. "Yeah, you're right. It's like we're characters in a fanfiction they're creating."

Heechul grinned, “Oh they really do make fanfictions, Teukie, I’m telling you. I’ve read a lot and I did make some before too, remember?”

They shared a knowing look, a silent understanding passing between them. The years of friendship, the shared experiences, and the genuine bond they had formed beyond were all reflected in that moment. The teasing and playful banter from their fans only added to the warmth they felt.

"I guess we should give them some material to work with, huh?" Leeteuk suggested with a playful glint in his eye.

Heechul grinned, his eyes twinkling mischievously. "Oh, absolutely. Let's show them how TeukChul does it."

With a wink, Heechul pulled out his phone and turned the camera on them. They leaned in close, their heads pressed together, and Heechul snapped a selfie that was sure to set their fans' hearts aflutter.

"You know they'll probably analyze every pixel of this picture, right?" Leeteuk teased, his voice a low, affectionate murmur.

Heechul chuckled softly, his gaze lingering on Leeteuk's warm smile. "Let them. It's all in good fun. I’ll share it with them soon. I’m gonna tease them first.” 

As they continued to exchange playful banter, Heechul's attention shifted to his new phone case that he immediately used, a cute and quirky design with a chibified him and his beloved Gibok that he proudly showed off to Leeteuk who paid close attention. He also displayed some of the other thoughtful gifts he had received from fans, including those featuring his beloved pet Gibok and even some fan-made TeukChul merchandise.

Their camaraderie and easy affection were evident as they chatted, and laughed together. After taking a moment to express their gratitude to the staff and organizers once more, they finally made their way to meet up with the rest of the Super Junior members for their celebratory dinner.

The race was on to arrive at the restaurant on time, knowing that the unlucky member who arrived last would have to foot the bill for the entire dinner. Laughter echoed through the corridors as they playfully pushed each other to hurry, the friendly competition a testament to their close-knit bond.

Heechul and Leeteuk exchanged knowing glances, a silent promise of shared victory as they quickened their pace. It didn't matter who would end up paying for the meal; what mattered was the laughter, the camaraderie, and the shared memories that were being created with each passing moment.

Both of them arrived at the restaurant, breathless from their mad dash, only to find the rest of the Super Junior members already seated and chatting animatedly. Their triumphant smiles faded as they realized they were the last ones to arrive.

Eunhyuk let out a playful wolf whistle, and Siwon grinned mischievously. "Look who finally decided to join us."

Leeteuk laughed sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck. "Sorry, sorry, we got caught up."

Heechul shrugged nonchalantly, but a twinkle of mischief danced in his eyes. "Yeah, we were just...enjoying the scenic route."

Laughter erupted around the table, and Yesung shook his head, giving Heechul an incredulous look. "Scenic route, my foot. You two are just never on time."

As Heechul and Leeteuk took their seats, the teasing continued, their fellow members not missing a chance to rib the latecomers. But it was all in good fun, a part of the brotherhood, the family that had bound them together for years.

Heechul's attention immediately shifted to Kyuhyun, whose injured hand was wrapped in a bandage. He leaned in, concern etching his features. "What happened to your hand, Kyu?"

Kyuhyun offered a sheepish smile. "Strenuous rehearsals for the upcoming musical, hyung. I think I overdid it a bit. I wanted to make it as rea
