SEQUENCE 4

“Okay Amber, thank you. Bye!” Nichkhun ended the call.

“What did Amber say?” the members immediately asked him.

“As usual, Vic being so stubborn immediately returned to practice day after she was discharged.” Nichkhun could only sigh after receiving the news from Amber.

It was three days ago when they returned from Japan and the airport commotion eventually happened. They hurriedly brought Victoria to the hospital to find out that she suffered over fatigue. 2PM even blamed themselves for having Vic tire herself as she cooked for them but Vic, upon being conscious said that she got no one to blame. Vic only stayed in the hospital for one day and was discharged immediately upon her request.

F(x) Victoria fainted due to Airport Commotion

F(x) leader Victoria has reported to have fainted during an almost airport stampede the day of her return with 2PM in Korea. Fans were unstoppable as too much pushing and pulling happened causing the idol to lost her consciousness.

It turns out that Victoria was actually having fever since they came from Japan and her body wasn’t able to tolerate the commotion as to result for her to suffer over fatigue.

SM Entertainment has already released a statement regarding this, “Victoria is currently taking some rest and would be ready for their comeback soon. As for f(x) fans, we’re sorry to inform you but there is going to be some delay for the girls’ comeback but please anticipate for their healthy performances and promotions in the future.”

Day after the commotion, Victoria was able to post a tweet saying “I’m sorry for causing you to worry about me. I’m perfectly fine now. Please look after our comeback soon! Thank you!”

Victoria is surely making fans know that she’s okay. As per Nichkhun who has confirmed their dating status was the one who brought Victoria to the hospital together with s. It has also been reported that Nichkhun visited Victoria before being discharged.

As what SM and Victoria have said, look after for f(x) comeback soon! Get well Victoria!

“Seriously Vic, you should take some rest still. The comeback is in three days, we can’t afford you to faint again or get sick.” Amber is surely worried over their leader as Victoria just showed a smile.

“Don’t worry. I’m all fine now. Trust me, no more fainting or getting sick… and that same goes to the four of you.” Victoria replied as she hugged her members.

Truth is, she was actually feeling like she’ll become a burden if the comeback won’t be scheduled again soon that made her feel motivated to be well sooner.

-

“Hello Vic?” Nichkhun could not weave a sigh of relief for Victoria has finally answered his call. He has been calling her since morning.

“Oh Khun I saw that I missed several calls from you. I’m sorry, I was just busy practicing. I just came from shower and wasn’t able to respond immediately.” Victoria apologized as she was already making her way to her car.

“That’s not a problem. It’s a good thing that you’ve actually picked up.” Nichkhun replied.

“What’s with the call anyway?” Victoria couldn’t help but ask.

“I was just worried. You were just discharged and now you’re again tiring yourself over practices. I know that you’ll do well. F(x) has always proven that.” Nichkhun replied.

“I know my limits well Khun… don’t worry.” Victoria tried to assure him though she knows that he really won’t be convinced… just like old times. While they were still doing WGM, she would usually receive a call from him if he happens to hear or receive news about her slipping on a performance or her being sick. She would try her best to assure him… but no avail since he would insist that she should rest well and stuffs like that.

-

It’s the day that they have been waiting for! Their comeback stage! They are set to perform first in MCountdown and the girls are feeling giddy and nervous. What spiced up the comeback is that, because the album and song has been out a couple of days ago, it has already reached high sales and was actually nominated as the song of the week without them performing it live yet.

“We can do this girls… we’ve been waiting for this.” Victoria encouraged her members as everyone nodded in agreement.

“Ready…. One… two… three….” Victoria counted as they connected their pointing finger.

“F(x)!” the five girls shouted as they ended it with a group hug.

“Girls, you’ve done so well… the sales simply says how the fans responded with this title track and with that I want to congratulate you already. You haven’t even started your live promotions yet you already got nominated, only a few idol groups has experienced this… and that makes me get more proud of you.” Their manager approached them as he says his words of encouragement. The girls immediately hugged him to show their thanksgiving.

“F(x), you’re next.” The fans suddenly said which widen the eyes of the five. This is it! They have already finished their recording and it’s now time to do the live show.

“This is it!” the five girls squealed as they walk hand in hand to make their way to the backstage.

-

“Yes Jae, I’m already here.” Nichkhun said over the phone.

“there you are!” someone said from his side which made him turn to him, there is the man he’s talking over the phone.

“I thought you won’t be able to make it.” Jae said as he patted Nichkhun’s shoulder. Aside from f(x)’s official manager, each girls are handled by different personal managers and Jae is Victoria’s.

“I also thought so… the filming almost exceeded the time they set… good thing I was able to come here immediately.” Nichkhun replied as they made their way to the studio.

“You surely take this act seriously… after filming a show… now here to support your ‘girlfriend’ such a sweet act…” Jae mocked as he even emphasized the word ‘girlfriend’ which made Nichkhun make face.

As expected, he was asked to come over the first comeback stage of f(x) to show his support… but truth is, even if he wasn’t asked to, he already has planned to come over… besides, Victoria traveled all the way to Japan for their concert… so it wouldn’t be a pain for him to come over their comeback stage… although he filmed a show that started from 11 in the evening the other day, until earlier this afternoon… which made him lack some sleep.

“But you surely look tired and sleepy… just finish their performance and you’re off to go.” Jae said as he just nod… though ofcourse he plans to come over the girls and congratulate them… especially Victoria.

“They’re next to stage, hurry!” Jae suddenly said as he received a text. He helped Nichkhun with his stuffs as he brought it to f(x)’s waiting room while Nichkhun goes over the studio.

Upon reaching the studio, he immediately saw the stage design, it surely captured the newest concept of the girls. He then saw them go up the stage one by one… as he spotted her… looking pretty with her hair, make up and clothes… though he somehow wasn’t really satisfied with it. He’s truly aware that the girls are sometimes off to wear short skirts or shorts… he got no problem with that… but he seemed not in favor of Victoria’s clothing now. It’s too short which shows her long legs…. He somehow had the thought over what Minho did to Sulli. He talked to her saying that he’s not in favor of her wearing short skirts of performances, not only because she’s being conscious and not able to perform well because of it… but ofcourse… he doesn’t want people to woo over what’s his. Then…. Does he also have the rights to do it over Victoria?

Nichkhun contemplated whether to stand near the stage or not…. But he suddenly remembered that he have to serve his purpose…. And so he stood beside the staffs that were standing at the side…. Which is very visible to fans. It didn’t take long before they have finally noticed him.

The song started and fan chants were immediately heard. Nichkhun couldn’t help but smile and be proud over the girls’ performance. It surely showed how much they prepared for it. You can’t see any flaws and the live singing is clearly heard. The dance is pretty addicting as well as the melody which made the fans even sing with them. Nichkhun then found himself holding his phone, obviously taking a clip and some captured photos of the performance…. Upon realizing it, he can’t help but chuckle. Since when did he started to become a fanboy and was able to learn getting fancams?... but his question was answered by him immediately…. The moment he met f(x)…. Victoria.

The stage ended successfully as the fans shouted and chanted over f(x). Nichkhun smiled upon seeing them do their group hug before exiting the stage, he did his exit as well.

“You girls really did a great job! The fan chants was simply amazing!” their manager complimented as the girls squealed, they didn’t expect their fans to act that way towards them.

“I knew you girls will nail it!” a voice from behind spoke which made them turn around. Their eyes widen upon seeing who it was…. Especially Victoria.

“Nichkhun!” the four girls squealed as they approached him. He immediately handed them bouquet  of flowers he personally picked up for them…. Even Amber got hers which made everyone laugh by her reaction.

“And ofcourse, congratulations leader.” Nichkhun said as he approached Victoria who was just looking at the scene as he handed her the bouquet.

“thank you.” Victoria shyly replied. Truthfully, she was expecting this to happen. Her being sent to Japan… simply means that Nichkhun would also be sent over their comeback stage…. But he didn’t expect him to bring flowers and food… staffs actually started taking photos of them as their interaction happens. Some even can’t help but giggle over their ‘moment’.

“We really understand the bias situation… but do you really have to cut off our happiness by showing us your bouquet for Vic.” Amber acted as she compared hers from Vic…. As Victoria’s bouquet was bigger from theirs which made everyone laugh.

“Just find your own boyfriend and have him but you bouquet that’s bigger than you.” Krystal mocked her which again garnered a good laugh from the staffs.

“I bet you girls are hungry, I bought some food for everyone.” Nichkhun said as he pointed at the table. He wasn’t able to personally prepare it so he just got a take out… but the girls were obviously thankful of his generosity.

They first had some photo opp so there would be photos to be uploaded in SMTown and f(x) official SNS accounts. They followed it up by eating the food that Nichkhun brought while waiting for the encore of the show.

Victoria then grabbed the opportunity to talk to him while the others are having some chitchats.

“Khun, thank you for coming… though I know-“

“It’s okay Vic… if they didn’t asked me to come, I’d still be going.” Nichkhun cut her off which made her eyebrow crease.

“Why would I miss this comeback stage if it caused me to worry since you’re too hard headed to actually resume practicing for this even though you were just discharged from the hospital?” Nichkhun added which just made Victoria chuckle.

“Until when are you gonna stay?” Victoria suddenly asked which made Nichkhun raise a brow.

“Are you shooing me away?” Nichkhun asked back.

“No… it’s just that… I know your schedule of filming last night until earlier…. That’s why I didn’t expect your visit to be today…. You look sleepy too… take some rest Khun.” Victoria gave a hint of worry on her voice since his eyes obviously shows he’s sleepy as he removed his sunglasses earlier for the photo opp.

“Is it that obvious?” Nichkhun playfully asked as he turned to the mirror to check his appearance which just made Victoria laugh.

“Continue to joke around… you really….”

“Okay-okay… I’ll just wait for the Encore and witness f(x)’s first win before going home.” Nichkhun cut her off which made him garner a good slap on his arm.

“Yaaah! Don’t say that… you’re making me nervous.” Victoria scolded him which just made him laugh.

“But really… I know you’ll win later.” Nichkhun playfully repeated which caused Victoria to give him another slap on the arm but he was able to catch it.

“Actually guys… you can just tell us to leave the room and we’ll definitely do it.” They were ‘disturbed’ by Amber’s voice which made them turn to her… as they realized the people inside the room actually has their attention to them which made Victoria look down… almost hiding her face. Nichkhun just chuckled.

“Today’s candidates for song of the week are…” Woo Bin, the MC of the show said as the VTR played. F(x) is obviously nervous of the result though they weren’t really having their hopes up… especially that this is just their first stage.

Several idol groups were nominated, that includes f(x). Woo Bin is given a chance to interview them before the announcement.

“F(x)!” he called their attention which made them pay their respect.

“Congratulations on your comeback.” Woo Bin started as the girls thank him.

“I heard someone paid a visit… isn’t it Victoria?” Woo Bin playfully teased as the other idols supported it. Even f(x) gave a good tease which just made Victoria blush. Fan chants were again heard for f(x)… as Khuntoria fan chants was also heard.

Nichkhun who was standing at the side couldn’t help but laugh over it.

“ugh…. Yes… ahh… Nichkhun came… thank you.” Victoria shyly said on the mic which made everyone squeal in delight… the ‘couple’ has surely captured attention.

"M Countdown song of the week is by…. F(x)!” Woo Bin finally announced as everyone rejoiced. Confetti were dropped as Woo Bin handed Victoria the trophy while the other girls received the flowers.

The winning moment made the five girls shed tears. It was unexpected… who would have thought that for their first comeback stage… they’re winning an award? They may have advantage since they had it released ahead for their comeback stage was delayed because of what happened to Victoria… but it doesn’t take the fact that the girls obviously deserves it.

Their thank you and acceptance speech wasn’t that long since their tears were unstoppable. It’s been some time since their last comeback… and they didn’t expect the fans reaction to be like this.

Their song was again played as they started singing a few bars but ended up doing a long group hug in the center stage…. As each whispered a prayer of thanksgiving.

Nichkhun on the other hand couldn’t help but smile, he was right… and he was actually confident by them winning… he just feel it, and he was right.

Congratulations, I told you you’ll win! I wanted to congratulate you and the girls personally but Minjae arrived to fetch me so I wasn’t able to do so. I’m so happy for you!

Victoria read Nichkun’s text message which made her smile…. This whole pretention and act maybe planned… but she’s actually enjoying it. She feels like she’s doing We Got Married all over again… the show that tops her list as her favorite show she was a part.

F(x) First Win Gave a Buzz over Fans

F(x) obviously has rocked out digits as they topped several music charts the past days their song was out. The album itself stood for its name as its popularity ranges higher than what people expected.

Just recently on M Countdown, F(x) had their first comeback stage and was able to bring home their first win. Fans were so agitated and proud over what the girls has achieved as it trended on several social networking sites.

The girls have totally put the stage into a whole new level as they performed their title track. [See video of their performance]

But what really created the buzz was 2PM Nichkhun being present on the said comeback. Fans spotted him during the live show performance of the group and even captured a photo of him, taking a picture of the girls’ performance. Another thing that made fans happy was when Victoria even mentioned him over Woo Bin’s short interview which made her garner a lot of tease from the other idols on stage.

Nichkhun who seemed to be proud of the girls’ performance and winning event tweeted a photo of them with a caption “I’m so happy to be a part of this first comeback stage. I knew you’ll nail it! So proud of you #fx #FXfirstWin

Look forward for F(x) as they continue their promotion and live performances!

-

It’s been two weeks and f(x) has continually swooned over music charts and had won on several music shows already.

“They really invited me?” Nichkhun clarified again which made Minjae make face.

“How many times do I have to repeat it? Yes they did… Sohyun has something important to do and  Hong Chul needs to film out of the country for IC… that makes Minho solo as the MC… and they’re inviting you to sub the two for this week’s show.” Minjae reiterated, hoping that it’ll sink in to Nichkhun.

Truthfully… it somehow made him excited. Being a non-Korea native, he’s not usually given the opportunity to be MC… but now, being invited made him excited… to add on that is f(x) promotion is still on-going… and that means, he’ll get to see Victoria after two weeks since that last time was during their comeback stage.

-

“How are you and Sulli?” Nichkhun asked as he settled himself on the couch while browsing his cue cards.

They’re now inside their waiting area, waiting for the show to start.

“Good, never been better.” Minho replied with a smile… a smile that somehow weaved some worries from Nichkhun. He was actually worried about how the couple would accept and react over the news of him and Victoria.

“I’m happy to know that... and I can clearly see it.” Nichkhun even batted his eyebrows.

“We’ve talked about this… if you’re willing to do this things just to cover up our relationship… then what’s the point of disappointing you if ever we decided to break up right? And besides… I know that I can’t do it.” Minho openly said… if there is one man beside s who understands and knows him well, that’ll be Nichkhun.

“I’m happy to hear that Minho… and don’t you and Sulli ever dare to break up.” Nichkhun warned… as they both ended up laughing.

-

“Aren’t you girls fixing yourself too much?” Luna playfully asked Sulli and Victoria who have been staying infront of the mirror for some time now. Their make-ups and hair are done as their staffs excused themselves to have some snacks. It’s just the five of them inside their waiting room.

“Yes… you seriously need to get rid of the mirror now.” Amber added.

“Let them be…. Minho and Nichkhun are the MC for today… it’s their day today.” Krystal stopped the two from teasing them as the two girls just chuckled.

“But really… you guys are pretty obvious.” Krystal added which made Luna and Amber do a high five.

“I’m just concerned over my eye liner.” Victoria countered as she got near the mirror to check on her eyeliner.

“How about you Ssul, what’s your excuse?” Krystal asked Sulli who just sheepishly grinned.

“Do I really have to give excuses?” Sulli playfully asked which made the five of them laugh. If there was something that made the whole situation prospers, that’ll be her and Minho’s relationship. She must admit that they’ve gotten stronger and had a better control over things…. Thinking about how Nichkhun and Victoria sacrificed just to hide their relationship.

As the music core started, everything went through smoothly and Nichkhun had a good time. F(x) has ofcourse gave a wonderful performance as they were in with the top three nominees for the song of the week.

As the encore came, all the artists gathered onstage. Ofcourse, fans waited for different interactions of their OTPs. F(x) was standing just beside Minho and Nichkhun who were about to announce the winner.

As the scores started to deliberate, tension can already be felt since the score hits more than ten thousand.

“F(x)!!!” Nichhkun and Minho shouted on the same time after F(x) topped the score board. Artists then started congratulating the five girls who were in all smile.

Nichkhun, who was obviously holding the trophy was agitated to give the trophy to the members… specifically to Victoria.

“Congratulations.” He said as he handed Victoria the trophy… which made fans gone wild. It’s the first time they saw Victoria and Nichkhun on the same stage after the confirmation.

Even the four girls giggled because of what happened… while Minho… strategically stood beside Sulli as he whispered congratulations to her. The lass just responded a sweet eye smile… though she obviously looked at the camera when she did it, to avoid intrigues.

After the girls had said their thank you speech, Minho and Nichkhun ended the show. It’s time for F(x) to sing their song once again as artists started to leave the stage.

As they were starting to sing their first verse, Minho and Nichkhun said their congratulations once more as both boys paid respect and was about to leave the stage when Luna nudge Victoria, telling her to stop Nichkhun from leaving the stage and to actually join them with the encore. Sulli on the other hand just made an eye contact to Amber, hoping for her to get her message as she doesn’t want to risk it…. That’s why she wanted to use Amber to actually get hold of Minho too.

Victoria first bit her lip, trying to gather courage before going to Nichkhun and held his arm. It’s time for her to sing her verse as she held his arm, she purposely handed him over the mic which made his eyes widen. The girls started to squeal and giggle on what she did… even Minho stayed and laugh over it.

Fans were ofcourse, gone wild because of it. Camera started to flash as they got the moment of the two.

Victoria mouthed her parts as she held the mic to Nichkhun’s mouth… as he found the courage to sing along. He actually didn’t expect for Victoria to do it… but he somehow like it. He’s surprised by her courage that even though this is just acting, she was able to do this.

Amber’s part was next as she purposely went towards Minho and placed her arms around his neck while she does her rap… and passed over the mic to Minho who surprisingly knew the lyrics. They then pulled the two in the center stage to dance the chorus part with them…. Which they perfectly executed. Nichkhun stood beside Victoria as Minho stood between Sulli and Amber as he would often glance at Sulli as if following the steps… but he himself can do it even with closed eyes… for he has perfectly practiced his girlfriend’s dance. Nichkhun on the other hand is ofcourse captivated by Victoria’s graceful dancing as he stares at her… which made him garner a nudge from Luna as they made a good laugh with the scene.

Fans obviously enjoys the fan service that’s currently happening on stage for it is surely a scene that happens once in a blue moon… and they should perfectly cherish it.
