Hello!
I'm going to be honest, writing on fancafe makes me nervous. That's why I've only done it once before, but after seeing you all on tour in Dallas and San Antonio I would like to take the time to tell you about everything!
There is a lot that I want to say, so please be patient with me!
Firstly, I am so incredibly proud of all of you for coming together as Omega X and pursuing your dreams once again. You're such an important part of my life that I can't believe I actually had the opportunity to see you in person. With all of the difficulties you've faced with your previous groups, starting over in Omega X and even the chaos during this tour you've still pushed forward and encouraged me to do so as well. You have helped me get through moments that I didn't think I could face, and I hope ForX can do that for you as well. Thank you for coming back.
Now for the story time!
Originally, I was only going to go to San Antonio with my best friend, but a few days before Dallas we decided to join another close friend and also go there! My friend drove from Arkansas to Louisiana to meet up with us, and we all traveled together to Dallas after we got off of work. When we got there, we stayed with other ForX for the night! The next day we all went to the venue early to make sure we could get good spots for the concert.
While waiting in line, I played music from Omega X, Spectrum, Snuper, Gidongdae, 1team, Seven o'clock, Limitless, ENOi, and 1the9 from a speaker to make us even more excited. When I got a message from Chelsea saying that she was on the way, I got so excited to see her. I met Chelsea on Twitter a long time ago, and she quickly became one of my closest online friends, so getting to meet her in person really meant a lot to me. As soon as her car pulled up I changed the song to Platonic Love by Snuper and ran up to give her a huge hug!
Because I packed for the trip in a hurry I forgot to bring my makeup, so I had to get ready in the car with my friend's makeup right before! it was SO hot that I'm pretty sure I got a sunburn.
The wait was worth it because all of my friends got to stand close together and were close to the stage!
Before the show, I cried because I was so happy that I got to be in Dallas to see you with my best friends. I couldn't believe that after waiting so long I was finally able to see you in person.
Bee, Katie and I had mouse ears that we bought after watching your vlive, and you ended up with them! Hwichan took Katie's mouse ears, Hyuk took my mouse ears, and Bee gave Yechan her mouse ears during selfies after the show!
During the show, my contacts started messing up, so in the middle of the concert Katie put eyedrops in for me. Thankfully that helped!
I wore a jacket that I made based off of ENOi's Cheeky music video, and a Snuper pin! My name is on the sleeve, and I added together the numbers that Kevin, Hyuk and Junghoon had on their jackets for the music video. Bee dyed her hair to look like Jehyun from Ullaeli Kkollaeli!
I made you all crystal bracelets with a special charm for each of you, and after the Dallas show I gave Sebin his! His had a purple tulip on it because of the song Tulips! I also gave Junghoon a glow in the dark ENOi bracelet that Rays made for their second anniversary!
Directly after the Dallas show, Chelsea, Katie, Bee and I drove to San Antonio. We got to San Antonio around 4am, and after checking in at the hotel, Chelsea and I met up with Kiesh, Issa and Yesenia at the venue.
We slept for a few hours outside on the deck of the venue and started a numbering system. Around 9:45 Bee and Katie came to wait in line so the rest of us could go get ready for the concert! During this time I also got to meet some more friends that I hadn't seen in person before! Mo and Jo came in to get ready and we all went back to the venue together! When we got into the venue it felt so good after waiting in the heat!
I gathered some ForX with an idea. Before every show. you say OX WIN! HA! So I wanted to do it for ForX too! it didn't go perfect the first time, so we tried to do it again, but it didn't record the second time 💫
Bee and I went as Love Me Like Hangyeom and Junghoon. I worked on making this jacket for so long. it took about 5 hours to put all of the studs on, and it still isn't completely done. When I finish it I'll show you again!
We got barricade!
After soundcheck, they had us leave the room again. It was a bit scary because we were worried that we wouldnt be able to get our spots back, but we did!
Though we were at the front, there was a ForX that got violent during the show and tried to push us off, but security didn't do anything about it. I have bruises from trying to stay in my spot, but it was worth it!
The next part is so incredible that I can't believe it actually happened. I got Junghoon's question correct and got to go on stage. Honestly, I'm about to cry thinking about it. It took me a second to process what happened, and then all of the sudden hearing my friends cheer for me and encourage me brought me to reality. I tried to fix my shirt and hair before getting to the stage because I was so self conscious being so sweaty and thinking I looked gross. The video I have of walking to the stage you can hear me say how scared I am.
I'm sorry for crying so much, and thank you for wiping my tears Sebin. In that moment I realized that the people I have been waiting for, the people that have helped me get through my worst moments and feel better about myself, the people that have worked so hard and been through so much, Omega x, were singing directly to me. I gave Junghoon a blue rose because of the W.A.Y music video and gave Jehyun a black rose before walking off of stage. Here's my video of being on stage!
The show was absolutely amazing! I had to take my inhaler though, because baby baby you're too hot to handle (sorry.)
During the selfies, I gave the rest of you the bracelets I made! Yechan's has a camera because of his photography. Kevin's has a bee. Hyuk's has a llama, Jaehan has a flower pot of lantana. Junghoon's has a shooting star. Taedong's has a paw print for Bori. Xen's has a four leaf clover. Jehyun's has a cherry. Hangyeom's has a pink flower. Hwichan's has a gumball machine. All of the charms have special meaning, and the crystal beads I chose also for special reasons! I know you received a lot of bracelets. I feel a bit selfish asking that you wear mine, but it would really mean a lot to me. I even have matching bracelets with some of you!
After the selfies, everyone was being told to leave, but I had a bit of a medical problem. It was embarrassing, and I'm not sure if any of you saw me, but I almost fell. I have something called narcolepsy with cataplexy. Strong emotions make my muscles weak sometimes. Usually it isn't very bad, but I hadn't gotten much sleep or food in a few days so I guess that made it worse. I also got really dizzy and had trouble standing on my own. I called my friend Bee, who came in and helped me leave. I'm sorry if I worried any of you! My health hasn't been the best, but I'm okay!
After the concert Katie, Bee and I went back to the hotel to change and then drove around looking for a whataburger. We had a hard time finding one and ended up passing them 3 times before finding one!
The next day after checking out of the hotel, we went to see Chelsea! She still had a few hours before her flight left, so we went out to have Korean food and get Katie and Bee their first Omega X albums from a kpop store!
The concert may be over, but ForX are never done cheering for you!
When it was time for Chelsea to leave we dropped her off at the airport, gave lots of hugs, and gave her a send off!
I hope you enjoyed my story time!
Now it has been almost a week since we've seen you, and your tour is almost over. Bee, Katie and I talked about trying to see you in LA, but the trip would be too expensive. I miss you so much, and I hope you are resting well. Come back soon. 😖
Thank you for fighting with us for this tour to happen, and please stay healthy 💗
~Hope🌸
