It Started With A Dance (part 6)
Hankyung stayed in Eun Ji's place for the rest of the week. Eun Ji took care of Hankyung like a nurse to patient. She forced Hankyung to eat, took some medicine, and forced him to sleep a lot. Eun Ji realized Hankyung is very tired. She stayed until Hankyung fell asleep.
She called Siwon and told him what happen to Hankyung. Siwon stayed silence after the story finished. "This is not the first time, is it? Since when?" Eun Ji asked. Siwon sighed and said, "He's been like this since Sorry Sorry promotion period."
"Do other members know about this?" Eun Ji asked again. "No. Just me and Ryeowook. Even Heechul-hyung had no idea what happen to him," Siwon took a deep breath when he finished. Eun Ji wanted to say something when coughs was heard from the room. Eun Ji hung up the phone and promise to call Siwon back. She practically ran to her bedroom.
Inside the room, Hankyung sat and coughed badly. Eun Ji sat beside Hankyung and rubbed his back. When the coughs stopped, Eun Ji gave water to Hankyung and he drank it until the last drop. Eun Ji lied him down and stroked his hair. Hanyung took her hand and kissed it. "Please stay with me," he said. Eun Ji took a place beside Hankyung and hugged him until Hankyung fell asleep.

Super Junior M released their "Super Girl" video. Promotion for "Super Girl" finally started. Hankyung at Eun Ji's apartment night before his departure to China, cooking for Eun Ji. Eun Ji hugged Hankyung from the back. "Smells nice!" said Eun Ji. "I used perfume you gave me," said Hankyung, still cooking. Eun Ji chuckled. "Not you! The fried rice!"
Hankyung turned off the stove and started to tickled Eun Ji. The kitchen soon filled with laughter. The tickling game ended when Hankyung captured Eun Ji in his arm. He kissed her and murmured, "I'll call you from China."
"You better be. I'll miss you," Eun Ji tighten her hug. "I will call you every day," Hankyung continued. "Don't. Just when you have time. I know your schedule will tight," said Eun Ji. She released her hug, cupped Hankyung's face. "Just do me a favor. Be healthy," Eun Ji leaned in to kissed Hankyung. "I'll make sure Siwon-sshi take a good care of you," she continued.
Hankyung hugged her again. "I will. I will take care of myself," said Hankyung. Eun Ji smiled of his words. But she missed the sad expression from Hankyung while they hugged.

Eun Ji just finished her dancing practice when her cellphone rang. She excused herself from the training room. She pressed the button. "Hello?"
"Eun Ji-ah! It's me!"
Eun Ji laughed. "I know. Your name was in my screen, Oppa! So how's your day?"
"Hey it should be me asking question! How's your day?" Hankyung asked with cheerful tone. Eun Ji rolled his eyes and answered, "Good. I just finished the dance practice. Next week my campus will have education fair. Our dance group will perform there. How's your day, Oppa?"
"Good! We just finished our schedule. Other members get back to the dorm, while I'm in my mother's house," said Hankyung. "Really? How is she? Send my regards to her," said Eun Ji. Then Eun Ji heard Hankyung said something in Chinese to someone and a woman's voice can be heard replying to him. "My mother said thank you and ask when will you visit," he said.
"I should learn how to speak in Chinese, then. So I can talk to your mother," Eun Ji replied with smile. "I will teach you," Hankyung replied.
They talked for a few minutes before both of them hung up. Another routine for Eun Ji and Hankyung.

Eun Ji was about to sleep when her phone rang. She looked at the screen. Her eyes went wide at the name in the screen. Siwon.
"Siwon-sshi?"
"Eun Ji-sshi. Hyung... He just passed out in the bathroom," Siwon talked in lower voice. Eun Ji stood up from the bed and walked to the window. "Who else knows about this?" she asked.
"Only me. Thank goodness other members already asleep," Siwon said. "But I just talked to him this afternoon! He sounds good," Eun Ji's voice started to shake. Siwon sighed. "It's not the first time, Eun Ji-sshi."
Eun Ji rubbed her temple. She really wanted to go to China to visit Hankyung. Soon, she started to sob.
"Eun Ji-sshi, don't cry. I'll look after him in here," said Siwon. "But Oppa..." she couldn't continue and cried on the phone.
"Eun Ji-sshi, listen to me. I know you worry about Hyung. He also miss you so much. I already booked a ticket for you to Beijing," said Siwon. Eun Ji couldn't believe what she just heard. "What?"
"Tomorrow, the ticket will be delivered to your place. It's an open ticket. All you have to do is tell the travel agency when you want to go and when you return," Siwon explained. "But..." Eun Ji couldn't find the word.
"I know both of you miss each other. Not to mention the fact that you worry about his health. This is all I can do," said Siwon.
"But my address, how do you know my address?" Eun Ji still confused. "Hyung wrote your address in his phone," said Siwon. After said thank you all over again, Eun Ji ended the call.
As Siwon had promised, the next day someone delivered the ticket. Eun Ji already prepared for her trip to Beijing. To Hankyung.

Super Junior M prepared for another schedule. In the car, Hankyung watched his members one by one. Henry helped Ryeowook with some Mandarin conversation. Donghae asked Zhou Mi about the words in every billboard he saw and how to pronounce it. The Chinese man patiently answered every question came out from Donghae. Kyuhyun? As usual, drowned in his PSP.
Siwon did something differently. He was busy typing with his phone. Hankyung have no idea who, and have no intention to asked. He closed his eyes to get little sleep. He heard Siwon asked to their manager, "Hyung, do we have another schedule after this?"
"Nope. You have free time until tomorrow," Hankyung heard what his manager said. "Good. So I can visit my mother," he thought. Hankyung felt someone poked his shoulder. He opened his eyes and saw Siwon's face. "Hyung, I want to visit your mother. It's been a long time I haven't seen her," said Siwon.
Hankyung stared at Siwon, then nodded. Siwon smiled and back to his seat, typed to his phone. He continued to sleep until they arrived.

"Why we have to go to airport? You said you want to visit my mother?" Hankyung said. Obviously he was slightly irritated with their detour. Siwon asked Hankyung to went to the airport first and didn't tell him the reason. Each time Hankyung asked, Siwon just smiled. Even when they arrived in the airport, Siwon just smiled. "Just wait a moment, Hyung. I promise after this we go to visit your mother," Siwon said and patted the older's shoulder.
Hankyung looked at Siwon's face and shrugged his shoulder. He couldn't say no to his sworn brother. Obviously Siwon waited for someone. He followed Siwon's gaze to the departure gate. It's a good thing they wore a cap and sunglasses, hoped that no one will recognized them. After 15 minutes, Hankyung saw familiar figure pushed the trolley, came out from the gate. His eyes widened. "Impossible!" he thought.
Siwon obviously saw that person, too. Unlike Hankyung, he looked happy. Siwon waved his hand. Hankyung looked at Siwon, then to that person. "You were waiting for Eun Ji?" asked Hankyung. Siwon looked at Hankyung, still smiled. Before Siwon could answer, Eun Ji already stood in front of them.
"But... How... Why you..." Hankyung unable to finished his sentences. "Later, Hyung. Let's go and visit your mother," said Siwon and took the trolley from Eun Ji. He walked ahead, leaving Eun Ji and Hankyung alone. "You said your mother want me to visit her. So, here I am," Eun Ji shrugged her shoulder.
Hankyung smiled and took Eun Ji's hand. Both of them followed Siwon to the exit. Siwon already got the taxi and was putting Eun Ji's suitcase to the trunk. "Shall we go?" Siwon asked. "Yes, we can go," said Hankyung.
Inside the taxi, Eun Ji leaned in to Hankyung and slept instantly. Hankyung stroked her hair. "You're happy, Hyung?" asked Siwon from front seat. Hankyung just smiled and Siwon already know the answer. With his free hand, Hankyung called his mother to informed her about unexpected guest.
