Super Junior L♥ve
Act I
Scene I
A huge, bright room with a long table in the middle. Twelve people sitting at the table, each of them dressed in black suits and red ties. Everyone is focusing on some papers. A muscular man in glasses, sitting at the very end, suddenly stands up and glances at his companions.
LEAD MANAGER
Going back to the topic from our last week's meeting, there are some things that need to be cleared.
We should start with the most important one, concerning Super Junior's new subgroup.
MANAGER
Yes. Super Junior indeed needs a new subgroup.
Having only ten members now, they really should show something new to the world...
Something refreshing and special.
LEAD MANAGER
That's true. Gentlemen, Super Junior is getting smaller and smaller and it really gives me a lot of worries.
As you know, Hangeng will leave our company soon but it's not him that I want to talk about now, we will discuss his case later; Kangin will be enlisted for the army soon and Kibum is temporarily active with acting.
We all know how Super Junior's situation at this moment looks like. It's getting bad.
Of course, their album sold with great success - but that's not enough. I want Super Junior to shine again, to make them the number one topic in the whole country.
There is huge competition nowadays so we have to constantly bring up new ideas and work hard to create something brilliant and surprising. This may sound quite hopeless but, gentlemen, there is no bigger mistake than that...
We actually have a new concept. Something which no one has ever tried before.
And I can assure you about one thing: it's going to be GREAT.
It will blow the fans off their seats and make them love Super Junior even more. That results in bigger popularity and more income for the company.
Mr. Kim, could you please...?
MR. KIM
Of course. Gentlemen, I will explain the new concept on behalf of Mr. Lee.
You all have heard about the idea to create a new subgroup for Super Junior before, during the last meeting - though it was only slightly mentioned. Let me therefore explain to you how this subgroup will work in detail.
I am aware that you may now think that a new subgroup is no genius concept after all. It wouldn't be if it didn't have this 'special' feature...
Scene II
A room being very similar to the previous one, with the only difference in the people being in there. This time it is Donghae, Eunhyuk, Yesung, Ryeowook, Kyuhyun, Sungmin and the Lead Manager sitting at a table with papers. Tension is filling the whole room since the boyband members don't know what to expect.
LEAD MANAGER
looking at every member one after another
Good afternoon, boys. I hope you are all having a wonderful time during your break.
DONGHAE
lively
We are! Resting a lot for our further promotions.
LEAD MANAGER
That's very good to hear. Nevertheless, it's the end of your holidays now.
YESUNG
Bwoh? The end? They have just started...
SUNGMIN
Some new activities again? Are we recording something new?
LEAD MANAGER
Yes and no. Super Junior will rest at this moment, you will do something special.
KYUHYUN
with irony
Aren't we Super Junior?
DONGHAE
And why isn't Jungsoo here? Why are we having a meeting without the leader?
LEAD MANAGER
That's exactly the point. It's not a Super Junior meeting, it's your meeting. I want you six people to create a new subgroup.
EUNHYUK
A new subgroup? Wouldn't it be better to continue the activities of the other ones?
LEAD MANAGER
Yes and we will do it someday but now it's time for something absolutely new and thrilling.
Super Junior L.
ALL OF THE BOYS
suspiciously
L?
LEAD MANAGER
You can try and guess for what it stands.
YESUNG
Maybe it's Super Junior Lazy. We will do simply nothing.
EUNHYUK
L...L... Super Junior Lucky? But no, that's too much SuJu Happy alike, isn't it?
LEAD MANAGER
Love. It's Super Junior Love.
KYUHYUN
What? Will we perform love songs?
LEAD MANAGER
Yes, mostly love songs. But there's one special thing about it.
You won't sing to girls.
ALL OF THE BOYS
startled
BWOHYA?
LEAD MANAGER
Super Junior Love is a subgroup for SuJu couples. You will sing for each other, do lots of fanservice and the fans will go crazy about it.
It's one of the most popular topics amongst your fans so this will be bull's eye.
SUNGMIN
very suspiciously
But what exactly do you mean by 'fanservice'?
LEAD MANAGER
Typical fanservice. I don't expect you to go far with your actions, we don't want any scandals.
But you all perfectly know what your fans like. It's up to you what fanservice you want to show.
And by the way, take a look around at which members are present, this will probably show you what couples I want to create.
All of the boys turn their heads around and stare at each other.
After a few seconds of analyzing, big tumult breaks out in the room.
EUNHYUK
EunHae couple!
SUNGMIN
staring at Kyuhyun
Do I really have to be together with him again?
YESUNG
Wait! That means the fans will write even more fanfiction about us! EEK!
RYEOWOOK
Since it's only for show, I guess I'm ok with it...
DONGHAE
Hyukkie! More EunHae for us!
EUNHYUK
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
SUNGMIN
to Kyuhyun
If you ever try to kiss me, I will kill you.
KYUHYUN
You still have this Heechul-trauma? Geez.
SUNGMIN
Heechul! Oh thanks god Heechul isn't here!
That would be fanservice in hardcore version.
KYUHYUN
So, when are we going to practice the kissing?
SUNGMIN
...
YESUNG
banging his small hands against the table
I hate fanfictiooooooon!
LEAD MANAGER
after standing up
Calm down, boys, calm down! It will be a lot of fun, you will see. I really don't want you to kiss on scene or see you ripping your clothes off each other. Just some simple touches, some meaningful glances, maybe a little kiss on the cheek... And of course singing love songs to each other.
I guess it won't be much different from what you are used to do, except that it's going to be more official.
KYUHYUN
indignant
Wait, it won't be much different from what we are used to...? You want to say that we already are a bunch of gay people?
SUNGMIN
whispering
Kyuhyun, calm down.
LEAD MANAGER
with a calming voice
No! Don't get me wrong. I mean that you already do a lot of skinshipping and fanservice. Maybe not you in particular, Kyuhyun, but EunHae for example won't have to change a lot of things. Just continue doing so and everyone will be happy. And you, Kyuhyun, learn to do a bit... more.
I'm sure Sungmin will help you with it.
SUNGMIN
Of course, sir. But only if no kissing is involved.
LEAD MANAGER
No kissing.
KYUHYUN
Hmph.
RYEOWOOK
When are we going to start with the preparations for this new subgroup?
LEAD MANAGER
Actually... I want you all to meet the production crew in two hours.
DONGHAE AND YESUNG
In two hours?!?!?!?!
LEAD MANAGER
I'm so sorry for cutting your holidays but I assure you that I will repay it to you in the future. Just do some activities and after that I will give you holidays again. Ok?
We have to make hay while the sun shines, there's no point in waiting any longer. We have to start right now.
So, you will be free for this two hours in a few minutes and then I want to see you in the company again, to discuss things with the producers. Right?
KYUHYUN
Looks like we don't have any other choice.
YESUNG
mumbling to himself
This are the charms of the life of a superstar.
RYEOWOOK
All right, sir!
EUNHYUK
to Donghae
Hae, let's inform the ELFs on twitter that we will spread more EunHae love from now on.
DONGHAE
Whaaa, let's take a picture together!
EUNHYUK
Oh yes, they will love it! As usual, ne?
SUNGMIN
to the Lead Manager
Right, when is this project going to be officially announced?
LEAD MANAGER
We will do a public statement after you have discussed all the details with the production crew. Right after that you are going to record some songs, I'd say about three would be enough for now. And of course you need to shoot a video then... Ahhh, the video. This is going to be the best thing out of it.
I will make sure to put a lot of love in this video.
YESUNG
I'm already scared.
