This is the China line, but like this universe anyone with Chinese heritage is allowed in the subunit. This is why Ten and Lucas are still in this subunit. There are also no rules that prevent SM from using the NCT label, therefore the subunit is called ‘NCT’ 116, the coordinates for Beijing.

Anyone who is not fully Korean is in this unit. There is a running joke in the au’s fandom about the Foreign Swaggers, not Stage. The video of Jaehyun saying “I lived in America for four years, that’s why I’m here” is what I’m using as proof to place him in another subunit with Johnny and Yuta and the other 127 boys to make it kind of normal.
Relationships
Jisung is with Chenle, Kun, and Taeil. The younger two (Kun and Taeil) are regressors when they are stressed. Jisung is their father figure, appa or baba, and Chenle is their mother figure, eomma or mama. Jisung and Chenle were in a monogamous relationship until they found out about Kun and Taeil regressing. They took their relationship with the two to the next level, but as they are underage most of the things they do are platonic.
Yangyang is with Xiaojun and Hendery. They all have their language in common and joined SM at the same time. The relationship was rocky at the beginning because Yangyang was too afraid to join fully. He's still kind of self conscious about his place in the threesome.
Jaemin is with Renjun and Jeno. It's their relationship like it is now, but their older and it's romantic. Renjun was the one who secretly dated both of them at the same time and then forced them to kiss one afternoon and proposed a threesome. They saw their hyungs (Yangyang, Xiaojun, and Hendery) make it work and thought they could try it too.
Donghyuck is with Mark. The older boy has always been clingy towards his favourite dongsaeng and as soon as Mark turned of age Donghyuck asked him out. Mark of course panicked in gay for three days before Lucas finally talked him into 'giving it a go'. Mark still hates PDA and is constantly distancing himself from Donghyuck, but it's okay because they know they love each other. Even if Mark hasn't said the 'l' word yet.
Lucas is with Jungwoo. Lucas is outgoing and Jungwoo is awkward. The whole relationship is one big contest on who can out gay the other, on camera and off.
Winwin is with Yuta. Yuta is very confident for his age and drags his hyung around like a rag doll. They are attached at the hip most of the time. Like Mark, Winwin doesn't like PDA but is willing to let Yuta do it mainly so he doesn't pout all day. The reason for Yuta's healing smile is Winwin's return affection.
Jaehyun is with Doyoung and Taeyong. Mainly because I didn't want someone to be alone, but these three work well together. Taeyong and Doyoung are anxious little beans that look up to Jaehyun to make the first move in any situation. Although Taeyong can thrust and hump the stage, he has no idea how to even hold hands with his boyfriends.
Last, but not least, Ten is with Johnny. Both are very risque for being so young. The older members are constantly on the look out for inappropriateness on Ten's part. But as much as they're heated, they are equally soft. Ten is soft in general, but knows Johnny likes taking care of him and takes full advantage of that.
If none of this makes sense, let me know and I’ll try to explain this better.
