Love Or Something Like It…

Were you expecting green leafy lettucy fics? Mian, I think I’m having a Lettuce road block right now, especially those wondering what happened to 3/3. It’s—well, let’s just say it’s on comatose and I cannot promise you that it can still wake up.

I’ve been wanting to write about this couple so much, but I do not know them well enough to whip up anything although I have been a loyal follower. I have to admit, I started watching because of Khun and I did not know who Victoria was back then (yikes, I did not even know what f(x) was). But pretty much like my Lettuce addiction, I got hooked. Perhaps Vic is the only cutesy type I can swallow, plus she has a quirky personality that’s very easy to love. And another thing I like about her is that she seems genuine. There’s something about Vic that draws you in.

This is for one of my fave Unnis in twitter, @ellehcar817! She’s the one feeding me stuff about Khuntoria (from unsubbed to subbed epis to fanfics or fanvids to blogs and sites). Thank you!!!! I know I can be pesky with my anti-HJ comments sometimes, but you’re (and Ash and cjv501) still very patient with me!!! Daghang Salamat… And, I’m sorry it isn’t any good—I just wrote it while I was trying to get some sleep—so basically, it’s sleepy and weird and I did not put much thought nor invest so much time on it. I will try to do better next time (that is if there is a next time). Lam ko Unni, pasan natin ang mundo, pero sana napangiti kita.. Hehe.. OA ba?

And oh, this is also for Chelsie because I did mention to her that I was gonna write a Khuntoria fic one of these days.

Hope Khuntorians and JBers alike will enjoy this.

The sudden gust of cold wind blew into the quiet room, making Chansung, the maknae of the famous boy group, 2PM, jump up from his seat.

A frightened, guilty look registered on his face as he watched Nichkhun enter the apartment. His Hyung looked tired and sleepy. Chansung’s eyes roamed around the living room then back to his hyung, unable to speak like a terrified little cub—the room was a mess, boxes of pizza lay on the floor, ramen cups and tissues spread on the table and some on the sofa, shirts and other clothing items scattered everywhere.

But it seemed that Nichkhun was too tired to even notice what a big mess he and Wooyoung created.

Chansung then stared back at the PC’s monitor, this time he seemed to have been panic stricken, almost guilty. This got Khun wondering. The older man raised his fuzzy brows at Chansung. The younger man forced a smiled, it was like he was caught doing something he should not be doing.

“Khun’s here..”, he said to the person he was chatting with online, “And, I have to go now..”, he announced nervously.

“Oh good!”, the sweet female voice resonated inside the room. “It was nice talking to you, Oppa. Annyeong!”, she said, Korean was obviously not her native language, as she faltered and mispronounced some words.

Khun was curious, but at the same time, amused, thinking—which foreign girl fell for the maknae’s charm this time.

Chansung looked up at Khun, “Hyung, Sherleenwantstotalktoyou…”, he said then disappeared from his hyung’s sight. He knew very well that Nichkhun was very, overly protective of his youngest sister, and all of them were not allowed to contact, not even look at her.

Khun’s brows furrowed as he stepped in front of the computer. He was disappointed at Chansung for not following his orders, he was frustrated at Sherleen for not heeding his warning that all his members (even if he loved and respected them all) were dangerous.

But all anger dissipated the moment he heard her voice, “Oppa!!!”

She wiggled and blew him a kiss.

“Oppa?? You watch way too much Korean shows, Sherleen..”, he told her little sister.

“Don’t worry Oppa, I only watch shows that you guest in..”, the young lady reassured him, “But I’m angry and I feel hurt..”

The smile on Sherleen’s face quickly went away replaced by a frown that got Nichkhun worried, “What? Why? You’re angry at me?”

Sherleen nodded, then rolled her eyes.

It took a few minutes before she spoke. “They said you’re coming home next week.”
“And you’re bringing Victoria with you..”, she pouted even more, “Why?”

Khun panicked. He did not know what to say. All the while he thought, Sherleen was okay with his virtual marriage to f(x)’s leader. All the while he thought, Sherleen liked Victoria.

“But Nichkhun Horjvekul, it’s a school day!”, she said becoming really flustered.

“And, don’t tell me you’d wait for me at Grandma’s house, because I already checked your schedule earlier with Chansung Oppa, and your manager said you’d be going to the hotel right away. You are so unfair! This is my chance to meet my sister-in-law! My chance to meet Victoria! No fair!”

Khun laughed at his sister’s childish display. He felt relieved at the same time. The worry and tension growing inside his heart was quickly replaced by overwhelming happiness.

“Don’t worry Sherleen, I already asked Mom to tell your teacher that you’ll be coming home early on that day.”, he told her in between laughs.

“Oh good..”, she finally calmed down upon hearing his plan. Her face was beginning to light up again.

“Oppa, can I ask you something?”, she asked, a wry smile on her lips.
Khun nodded.

“Victoria—do you like her already? I mean, not only as your virtual wife? Do you like her?”, Sherleen questioned. “You’ve introduced me to some of your girlfriends, but you’ve never brought any of them to Grandma’s house. I heard it was your suggestion that you bring her to Thailand. I heard you were supposed to go to Beijing, but you insisted. Khun, do you like her already?”

Khun was dumbstruck. He did not know what to tell her.

“Khun, do you love her?”, Sherleen asked the question he never dared to ask himself.
Khun knew it was not an ordinary crush, like the crush he has on Krystal. He knew he cared for her and he felt the urge to call her to check if she has eaten or if she was well. He wanted to get to know her more—what she likes, what makes her happy, what makes her smile. He wanted to protect her and keep her safe. There was a loud thudding in his chest when she comes near him. Butterflies—the size of flying dinosaurs, soared inside his stomach when she smiles at him.

“Khun? Are you in love with Victoria?”, Sherleen asked that question again.
Sherleen’s voice echoed inside his head.

Khun smiled, his cheeks burned and his ears turned red, “I don’t know if it’s love yet”, he answered honestly, “But it’s something like that…”

Sherleen smiled—gloating. It was like a dream come true—her most beloved brother is in love or something like that with her idol.
