Leeteuk's confession had totally blown your mind. First you didn't know how to react but after he gave you some time to overthink everything and after you had a serious chat with Sooyoung, Taeyeon and Yoona about it, you decided to give it a try. You met Leeteuk again before his departure and both of you agreed to a secret relationship you would make official to your co-members once it proved itself to be serious. You were wondering if everything would still work out when he would come back.

 

Nevertheless there was no time to worry too much. Your debute had given your life a 180° twist. Your schedule had changed and you had to finally attend university additionally to your main schedule rehearsals and lessons. The internet and newspapers were overflowing of the news of the new SNSD maknae, the rapping angelic voice – not even korean AND an Ewha student.

Especially at university you got most of the feedback. Ewha women's University seemed to be a place full of SNSD Ulzzang Baby haters or followers. There was barely a person that was neutral about you. And the worst was that you didn't know if your followers or haters were worse. Both sides caused you to be a social outcast. And that was very difficult for you to deal with.

 

When you didn't study or practice singing, languages or dancing you were trained in interview stuff. You learned a lot about other idols which you would fight with in the future even if you liked them and which you would like even if you hate them.

The management decided to make you and Seohyun best friends because she was the maknae before you. You wanted to refuse because Seohyun was the only one besides Jessica and Sunny who really disliked you but the manager didn't listen to you when you wanted to talk.

 

„Tomorrow you will meet Nichkhun. You have to talk with him about the interview tomorrow evening. Taeyeon, Seohyun and you will go there. I think Nichkhun will be followed by Taecyeon and Jungsu.“

 

You nodded and sighed. Was it okay if you had to pretend to be Nichkhun's girlfriend when the managements decided you to be a fake couple? What would Leeteuk think about it? You worried about his opinion the most. He confessed his feelings for you because he was worried about Nichkhun and you...aish, that was too much for the moment!

 

You met Nichkhun at a Café Bene store in Hongdae. Your manager had made sure that you weren't late so he had sent you to the coffee shop 15 minutes earlier. To be honest you didn't know what to do when you entered the shop. You just found yourself sitting in a calm corner of the coffee shop waiting for your secret or not so secret date to join you. Nichkhun entered the shop when you ordered a coffee. It was a different feeling to walk around in Seoul and having to be careful not to be recognized. You wished the time back when you went to Everland and you didn't have to worry about being caught by civilians.

 

„Nice to meet you, little troublemaker.“, Nichkhun greeted you.

 

„Troublemaker?“, You asked him and looked irritated. This was not how you expected to be called by a person you just got to know. Did he even intent to offend you?

 

„Yes, everyone knows you as the troublemaker...because of your little fight with Kyuhyun-shi at your debute.“ Nichkhun laughed and took a seat so that you were face to face now.

 

„Aish...so 2PM knows about that, too? Did Yoona-unnie tell you about it? Or Kyuhyun?“, You asked him in shock.

 

„I met Kyuhyun-shi afterwards and he was really upset. I rather think it's funny than embarassing for you. Kyuhyun-shi deserved to be hit, I guess..“ He chuckled and then ordered a coffee too.

 

„Do you speak thai?“, He asked you then.

 

„Yupp.“, You answered shortly, still insecure about what to think about Nichkhun, and then noticed how relieved he seemed to be about your answer.

 

(An: Everything that is written blue is said in thai :) )

 

„Ahhh...finally someone I can talk to and nobody around me understands it. I've waited so long for this moment to come.“, He had just started to change the language.

 

„U-Uhm okay?“, You replied in thai.

 

„Well, we have to be friends now...I think it's gonna be easy. You seem like a person people can make friends with easily.“

 

You blinked at him, speechless. And more than happy when he went on talking without expecting you to reply too much.

 

„The manager told me to inform you about what is awaiting you tonight. First rule: Always be aware of the fact that they say something that isn't in the script.“, Nichkhun told you.

 

The scripts were given to everyone after the managers discussed with the TV-Team what would be talked about at the show or which special events like singing contests or else would be there. This had to be made sure so none of the idols would get into embarassing moments which could harm their reputation and image.

 

„And we have to act extra close, you know that? Because of that fake couple arrangement. Feels like debuting a second time, doesn't it?“

 

Nichkhun seemed to be amused about it...but you couldn't join his laughters.

 

 

All of his advices and instructions did nothing else than making you even more nervous and insecure. Of course he had tried to appease you the whole time, but there was no help.

When you entered the studio you were excitment had reached it's top and you were scared you would suffer the same knock out as at your debute. Nichkhun winked at you when he saw you stepping nervously from one feet to another.

 

The show was about to start and the staff was already giving you instructions where to sit, where to look at and what to say in the beginning of the show. The MC was busy with his own instructor. Your eyes were captured by his appearance, trying to analyze him, trying to find out which traps he would try to lead you in.

 

Taeyeon and Seohyun were right next to you. Seohyun was sitting between Taeyeon and you which made it impossible for Taeyeon to support you somehow.

 

When the show finally started and the MC talked about something you couldn't concentrate on.

 

„YAH! Stop that, that's annoying...!“ Seohyun hissed and pushed your hands away when you didn't stop picking at her sleeve.

 

Your heart was racing as if you had attended a marathon. Your mind was such a mess that you even missed when the MC introduced you girls to the audience.

 

„And now welcome SNSD!“

 

Seohyun and Taeyeon were smiling into the camera while you looked more puzzled and shocked than actually happy.

 

„You girls look beautiful and you brought your new member with you. Wow she is really cute when you see her from eye to eye.“, The MC said and smiled at you, forcing you to smile back at him.

 

!!!, you were thinking the whole time.

 

Seohyun silently cleared , giving you the sign to bow thankfully and respond to the MC's words.

 

„Kamsahamnida!“

 

The MC asked went over to Taeyeon, asking her about your new album and your debute. He asked Seohyun about your relation and she told him that she was really proud to be your unnie and happy to have a little sister after being the youngest for all these years. You just swallowed all of their words and smiled, nodded, even gave some agreeing statements.

 

„So you two are really close?“, the MC asked Seohyun and you again.

 

„Yes, I can't imagine living without her now, she's a part of us since she entered our dorm!“, Seohyun answered with a cute smile. You couldn't help but frown. The hell was she talking about? She was a seriously good actress.

 

„And how about some of the male idols? Do you already found someone you like?“, the MC directed his words towards you.

 

You immediately thought of Leeteuk. And then Nichkhun crossed your mind. You had to remember about all he had told you before. Be a fake couple! A good one!

 

„She's quite famous with the boys. Especially at SM Entertainment. Donghae-shi also gave her the nickname Ulzzang Baby.“, Taeyeon answered and the audience laughed for a moment.

 

„Ulzzang Baby? That's awesome but somehow unfitting. ____-shi is the new SNSD rapper, a rapper shouldn't be too cute, should she?“

 

The audience was laughing again and then Nichkhun joined the conversation.

 

„But she really is cute! She is a master in aegyo if she just wants to do it.“, he claimed and the whole audience was interested in every single word he said.

 

„So? It sounds as if you and the SNSD maknae are close to each other.“, the MC noticed.

 

„We're both. So we're close of course!“, Nichkhun confirmed his assumption. „We're very close friends, you know?“

 

And there the mumbling started.

 

„Like best friends.“, you added.

 

„Ahh...you don't need to be shy about such a handsome guy like Nichkhun-shi. If you two start dating, just don't forget to tell me first!“

 

Both of you laughed about the MC's words and then went on with your play.

 

 

After this first show life didn't become easier. You had to give interview after interview, be guest at different TV-shows and go on fake dates with Nichkhun with a lot of paparazzi following you. Two weeks had already past and at university you couldn't rescue yourself from being bombed by other students asking you about your relationship with Nichkhun. You couldn't even tell how often you got insulted by lots and lots of anti-fans.

 

Nichkhun set an end to your upcoming depression when he came to meet you during schedules. He asked you out to go for a walk with him during break, but just after five minutes of walking you were stopped by some crazy f(x) fans.

 

„We can't accept your friendship!“, The leader of the group said in a harsh tone. „Stay away from Oppa from now on!“

 

Nichkhun glanced irritated at them and then laughed.

 

„You want to take away one of my closest friends? That's really rude of you...you are f(x)' fans? I think your unnies will be really disappointed if they hear that you try to bully their newest SME sister.“

 

All of them were silenced by his strong voice.

 

„Come on, ______-ah, we'll go back.“

 

Nichkhun brought you back to the rehearse rooms. Curiously you gave the fans a last look. They stood there in irritation and then they seemed to be emberassed.

 

„I'm sorry about that...“, Nichkhun said and sighed.

 

„No problem...I'm used to that. At university it's jut the same. Maybe I would do the same thing...there is a lot of Khuntoria fangirlism, you know?“

 

„Yes, I know...well...I still want to apologize for that.“ Nichkhun was silent for a moment before he asked you something you wouldn't have expected.

 

„ By the way...Taecyeon-hyung told me that he invited Yoona-yah to come over. You can join her if you want. We could hang out at my place then. I can show you the 2PM dorm. Maybe it doesn't interest you too much, but-“

 

„No, no! That's fine! When should I come over?“

 

Nichkhun smiled delightedly.

 

When Yoona and you arrived, the 2PM boys welcomed you. Their dorm was not as big as the Super Junior dormitory but it still looked nice.

 

You immediately noticed how cute Taecyeon and Yoona looked together. They glanced at each other and you could see there was more than met the eye. You chuckled and couldn't help but envying them for being so happy together. Hopefully you and Leeteuk would be the same one day. You were already looking forward for his return to Korea.

 

The 2PM boys ordered dinner and so you enjoyed the evening all together. The 2PM members welcomed you heartly, making you become a part of their clique very quickly and easily – though they were annoyed because you and Nichkhun only talked thai to each other.

 

„Who knows what he's telling her about us!“, Chansung said and Nichkhun started laughing.

 

„I'm just telling her some true things about you. I swear I didn't say anything bad about you.“, He promised.

 

„More or less.“, You added and he gave you a slap on the back of your head.

 

„Aish! What was that for?!“

 

„You know what this was for, you cheeky little girl!“

 

After dinner the guys made the washing up and insisted on doing it themselves.

Taecyeon suggested that Yoona could show you around the dorm and you girls started to explore their apartement.

 

„This is Nichkhun's room. You wanna see it?“, Yoona asked after she showed you Taecyeon's room.

 

„Can we enter without his permission?“, You asked her back.

 

„They said it's okay if I show you their apartment...that includes the bed rooms as well.“ She chuckled and you nodded before you opened the door.

 

Nichkhun's room was full – full of photos. There were a lot of wedding pictures and sticker photos. Nearly every picture showed Nichkhun and Victoria.

 

„They really are a couple...!“ You gasped and touched one of the wedding photos from 'We got Married'. „Now I get why she dislikes me!“

 

„Don't give too much about that...there's no reason to hate you for being Nichkhun's fake girlfriend. It was not your decision. Some people are seriously immature.“ Yoona said and sighed. Was it because of the clash she had with Jessica because of Taecyeon?

 

You didn't know for sure...but one thing you got to know by now: Victoria would make your life truly difficult.

 

 

Of course you didn't dare to ask Nichkhun directly about Victoria. On one hand you thought that it was more than obvious that they were a couple after intruding his room, on the other hand you might just hurt his feelings if they already broke up and he wasn't able to get over it. To be honest you didn't feel like Nichkhun was the kind of person griefing for another a lifetime. But maybe you just didn't know him well enough to rank the kind of person he was.

 

„Hey girls!“, Nichkhun entered the SNSD training room with a big smile and a lot of iced coffee. The girls were squealing and each of them got one of the drinks your fake boyfriend had brought.

It became a kind of ritual of Nichkhun coming and visiting you girls whenever he was free. You already noticed that he had a lot of freetime.

 

„You're the best fake boyfriend one of us girls ever had.“, Tiffany said and smiled towards the handsome guy who smiled back at her and even winked shortly.

 

„Thanks, but I'm just trying to do all I can, you know?“

 

„Yah!“, Hyoyeon gave him a short slap. „Don't you flirt with other members while your fake girlfriend is around!“

 

Yuri, Yoona, Sooyoung and you started laughing at her words.

 

„Aigoo, unnie. It's okay, really! I mean...he can fake-cheat on me if he wants to. I fake-don't-care.“

 

The laughters died at your words and all the girls just looked at you with irritated faces.

 

„Honey, your sense of humour is a disaster.“, Nichkhun commented and again the girls laughed. „But...yeah...I did not come here for bringing you coffee...I came here for hijacking SNSD and get their maknae. I didn't eat dinner yet and so I though we could have some together?“

 

His invitation sounded much like one to a real date. The girls stared at you with curious eyes, waiting for your response. You took a big gulp of coffee before you were able to answer.

 

„Uhm...sure, why not?“

 

And so after the training was over you headed outside to have some dinner. Which didn't mean you fulfilled this plan...because you got disturbed just after leaving the room.

 

„Hon~! You're here?“

 

Victoria's voice made you wince, causing an ice-cold shiver through your whole body. Hon...she couldn't have been more overprotective over her boyfriend. Seriously, you were already aware of their relationship. No need to show it even more.

 

„Ah, yeah, I told you so...or didn't I?“, Nichkhun replied much confused.

 

Shortly after you were stopped by here, Yoona and Sooyoung also joined this strange conversation.

 

„Victoria -Unnie! Long time no seen!“, Sooyoung greated here but sounded somehow breathless as if she was awaiting some bad things happening.

 

„That's true.“, Victoria agreed and then here eyes were glued at you. „It seems as if my boyfriend and your maknae are getting along very well...so I guess, I should get to know her better, too?“

 

Nobody dared to say anything and you even tried to avoid her fierce eyes. You just wanted to live you're yet troubleless life! Please?

 

„I want to invite you and the other SNSD girls to a dinner tomorrow evening at our dorm. You'll come too, Nichkhun-ah?“

 

„Of course, Noona.“, Nichkhun answered and smiled.

 

You were a bit puzzled but Yoona answered before you could take action at all. „We'll accept your invitation as well. Jessica-ah will be happy to meet her sister again.“ She smiled and nudged you. You also gave her a fake smile.

 

„Yes, we all are really happy about this invitation...!“ What a lie.

 

„Nice, then we'll see each other tomorrow evening. I'm looking forward to it.“, Victoria was still smiling and Nichkhun nodded at her words like a very well-behaving puppy.

 

 

The next day's evening you stood in the f(x) dorm and sighed. You had tried to tell your unnies that you were ill but no one believed you. There was no way escaping this very weird dinner.

 

„You're looking so unlucky...“ Taeyeon gave you a worried look. She was able to talk that easily about it...because she and Victoria got along quite well compared to the way how you felt next to the f(x) leader.

 

„Everything's alright.“, You asured her and smiled weakly. No, nothing was alright. You felt so bad...this all felt so wrong. But why? Nichkhun was not even your real boyfriend, you were not cheating on anyone...still you felt awkward around Victoria. Maybe it was all because of her hostility?

 

„I think Victoria is kinda nice to you today...maybe she really changed her mind.“ Yuri shrugged when suddenly Victora came to you. Everyone had noticed the hostility before...so why did they even made you accompany them? Screw you, damnit politeness!

 

Victoria came to you girls who were already occupying the dinner table which was consisting of a total of 3 tables. Of course it had to be that big: half of SNSD, f(x) and Taecyeon and Nichkhun where at the f(x) dormitory for dinner.

 

„Yuri-shi? ______-shi? Would you like to help Sulli-ah and me with the cooking?“, She asked you.

 

„Yes, of course we can.“ Yuri nodded and followed Victoria into the kitchen, dragging you behind her so you could't run away.

 

Sulli was already busy cooking. She looked very young but still skilled at what she was doing at the moment. She would be a great housewife later in her life, that was for sure.

 

„Unnie, you brought some SNSD unnies with you!“, She cheered.

 

Unnie..she was the first girl who called you that name. Now you remembered...she was one year younger than you. At least you weren't the youngest of all the girls in this apartement. Somehow it was so heartwarming how honestly amazed this girl seemed to be. It made you already forget about the strange tension between you and the f(x) eldest.

 

„______-unnie, could you cut the vegetable?“, She asked you with a cute smile.

 

„Awww~“, You answered immediately. „Of course, I'll do!“

 

You started cutting while Yuri helped Victoria with the desert.

 

„What's that?“, Yuri asked her irritated, holding up a package of colourful powder. You could clearly hear that she was sceptical about the desert.

 

„We'll make some jello.“, Victoria answered. „Nichkhun loves it and it's really quick and easy to make.“

 

First: Self-made jello?! Second: Nichkhun loved it?! Something about this sounded fishy. Or else you had started to get overly cautious about everything including Victoria. No matter what it was, it was bad. Very bad.

 

The two girls went to the cooker and prepared it. You couldn't help it but getting really nervous by now.

 

„Aaaaand...we're done!.“, Victoria said and smiled after they put the hot fluid into a glas bowl. „Yuri-shi could you please put it into the fridge?“

 

Yuri nodded and took the huge and heavy bowl. The fluidity was swapping up to the edges of the bowl, very dangerously, hot and possibly painful. Her steps were slowly, she tried her best to prevent any of the still liquid jello spilling over the edges of the bowl.

 

„Yaah, yaaah~ don't be that cautious!“, Victoria playfully teased Yuri and gave her a short push. It was enough to make Yuri lose all of her balance. The bowl halfway slipped out of her hands, having you unfortunately focused and then...

 

SPLASH!

 

Your body felt like burning for a whole moment, before it was shock that covered the painful burning on your skin. Your eyes widened, your mouth fell open – you were completely covered in jello fluidity!

 

„I – I'm so sorry,______-ah...! Oh my god...mianhe!“ Yuri was as shocked as you, not able to move at all for a whole second before she grabbed one of the dish towels and hurried over to you to start drying you.

 

„Oh my...unnie, everything all right?!“ Sulli tried to dry you, too. Only Victoria stood there and watched you. You saw how she forced herself to look shocked as well. You knew it was acted. You just knew it!

 

„OH NO!“, she suddenly voiced out, getting over to you and grabbed your wrists. „_____-ah...come with me...we'll go and wash all this hot stuff off of you!“

 

Damn right! And it was burning!!!

 

„Come on...let's go to the bathroom.“

 

Victoria led you into the bathroom and grabbed some frish towels on the way to there. You just followed her speechless, not daring to even look at her because you were afraid you could jump at her and kill her for making your whole body feel like a freshly deep fried chicken wing!

 

„I think there's nothing else to do but to take a shower...feel free to use ours. I'll bring you some fresh clothes, okay?“ Victoria smiled friendly and you nodded.

 

After she left you waited for her...but after ten minutes she still wasn't back...maybe she waited until you were finished with taking a shower? You weren't sure about it...but you were sure that you already had blisters covering your body and the fluid was starting to get into the jelly state. You sighed and locked the door. Victoria was right...there was nothing but to take a shower. The fluidity started to harden...and that didn't feel too good.

 

You took your clothes off and entered the shower. Quickly you washed everything off when you suddenly noticed that something wasn't right with the shower... when you looked down you saw what it was. The drainage wasn't working and the shower became filled up with water and foam more and more.

 

„Aish...“ You tried to stop the water...but it didn't work either! „What the...?!“

 

The shower was so overfilled that the water came outside and dripped on the floor.

 

„You serious?!“ You opened the door and the bathroom was flooded with water. Yeah! The official SNSD tsunami!

 

„Cut it off, you shower!“, You cursed but there was of course no reaction from the shower.

 

„I need towels...where are the towels?!“ Hectically you looked for some but only found the one Victoria gave to you...you couldn't use this one little towel to mop up all the water and the foam on the floor.

 

„Aigooo....what to do?!“ After you wrapped the way to short towel around you, you kneeled down and tried to find out what was wrong with the drainage. Maybe that would work. But you were no plumber and didn't know how this stupid thing worked...

 

 

„Where is ______-ah?“, Taecyeon asked. Everyone had sat down to eat but you were still missing.

 

„She took a shower because there was a little accident in the kitchen.“, Victoria explained to the others and Yuri blushed. She feld responsible for that.

 

Nichkhun lend back and watched down the floor to the bathroom door.

 

„What's that?!“ He saw water coming out from the bathroom.

 

„Huh?“ Everyone stood up to look what it was what Nichkhun had seen.

 

„Oh my...!“ Victoria gasped.

 

Nichkhun stood up and walked to the door. He tried to open it but it was locked.

 

„Everything alright?“, He asked you in thai.

 

„Uhh...yupp! Everything's alright!“, He heard you answer through the door. You were chuckling nervously.

 

„Why is there water coming out?“ Taecyeon had followed Nichkhun. Even Yoona stood behind them now.

 

„It gets more and more...let's open the door. ______-ah we're coming inside!“, Taecyeon called.

 

„NOOOOO!“, You yelled but he had already slammed the door open.

 

Unfortunatelly your towel had slipped away and when the boys and Yoona entered the bathroom, you were still kneeling in front of the shower – half .

 

 

The evening was ruined by that. You, Yoona and Yuri had left right after that event and you were so emberassed that you cried at home. Yoona and Yuri tried to cheer you up and fed you with icecream they had ordered – while veting your burned skin and damaged pride.
