i didn't expect this happen so quick

This phrase is incorrect. It is missing the preposition "to" before the verb "happen" and the adverb "quickly" is needed instead of "quick."

The correct structure is "I didn't expect this to happen so quickly." Use "quickly" to modify the verb "happen" and include the preposition "to" before the verb.
