Kismet

The First Second Time

Present...

"And this week's winner, is f(x)!!!", the MC announced.

All the f(x) members are speechless. Amber who was holding the microphone cannot seem to say a thing, so Victoria grabbed the mic and said thank you to everyone. She cannot even say it straight because she was so surprised and touched.

Luna cannot control her tears and started crying non-stop. Krystal who stands next to her, was wiping her tears and trying hard not to cry. SHINee's Key went to Luna and hug her, then Krystal hug Luna also.

It has been a difficult year for them as a group. They lost one member, like their sister, and they can't do anything about it. They have been together for more than 5 years, their teen age life, with each other. They shared laughters and tears, and for a year they thought, they won't be standing again on the stage as f(x).

But here they are, after that one year, they are able to dance and sing in front of their fans, something that they really are passionate about. They miss Sulli, and wish she was with them as they receive their first win with their 4th album. After Victoria did her speech, she went to Krystal and hugged her. It had been a lot worse for Krystal. Victoria knows everything Krystal had gone through. She knows the girl is tough and doesn't shows her emotion a lot on screen, but seeing her cry and break down now, it sank on her, all the poor girl's sacrifices. Victoria is also trying hard to control her tears, as she's the eldest and the leader, she shouldn't start crying or she won't be able to stop.

The rest of the SHINee members are watching in the living room of the hotel. They cheered loudly after f(x)'s name was called, but became silent when they saw Luna crying. Krystal's face is focused by the camera, and everyone can see how hard she tries not to cry, but tears escape her eyes. Minho's heart feels like it's about to burst.

I can't watch it, and immediately went out of the room to get some fresh air.

He took out his phone, and just stares at the picture. It is a picture of him and Krystal, he was wearing a tuxedo and Krystal is wearing a black dress. They are smiling and looking at each other. It was Eun Hyuk who took that picture of them. They were shooting a program for idols and that was held in Thailand.

Flashback...

Minho and Krystal became really close after that dream team competition. Minho would always text Krystal asking her how she is. How f(x) had been doing, things like that. Krystal is so grateful to her SHINee oppas, not just her, but the rest of f(x) members as well are grateful to SHINee. They always look after them, promote them when they can, in their sns and in their shows. When she had her hosting stint, Minho and Key oppa woud give her tips in hosting. Everyone can see the special bond that they have. Even fans have a name for them f(SHINee), combination of both their group names. During SM town endings, they would joke with one another, ran after each other and make fun with each other.

After Krystal setting the new record, she had been well known as good in sports. Some fans would pair her with Minho with the fandom name called Minstal, because both are good in sports. She had once seen an edited video with her and Minho in their Dream team episode, and she can't help but feel awkward seeing how many times Minho held her hands and hugged her. It's not the awkwardness of being uncomfortable about it, but somehow with the thought of being with Minho, she liked it but she doesn't need it. She also watched fancam during the Athletics competition, and how Minho seemed to separate her from the rest of the guy idols. But the truth was that Minho was just giving him advice for her running. Minho pats her head, a gesture she's already used to, and fans think about it romantically.

Minho oppa thinks of me as her doensaeng, she said, she's happy that Minho is really treating her nicely.

But she didn't watch anymore of Minstal videos after that.
