This is a warning.

I typed this on MS Word and it’s 30 pages long. THAT LONG!  It’s not that I enjoyed too much but ideas just kept coming and coming. HAHAHA I hope it won’t bore you out. :( Kisses! :*

Phew! I'd be lying if I say I did not regret including an episode of a variety show in this story. It is very challenging to write! There are so many things to consider but lo! I finished the part one!

Hope y'all like it!!! :)))

NORMAL POV

“Welcome to. . . Kaaaang Ssimjang!”

Loud cheers were followed from the celebrity guests, staff and audience.

Everyone was ecstatic and smiling brightly.

Well, except for one guy.

His smile was forced as he clapped along with the others.

FLASHBACK!!!

“Annyeong! I’m really sorry if our maknae is bothering all of you. He’s a walking pain to everyone.” GD bowed to the Super Junior guys.

Leeteuk, Shindong, Eunhyuk, and Donghae also bowed and greeted GD. “Annyeong G Dragon ssi.”

“Aigoo hyung! You’re so mean! If you keep on being like that, I will abandon you guys and transfer to Super Junior. Hmp.” Seungri clung to SJ’s leader like a kid.

“Please. Go ahead.” GD playfully bowed again and offered his hands to them.

“Hyung! How could you!” Bigbang’s maknae immediately went to GD’s side and hugged him. “Don’t give me just like that! Don’t you love me anymore Jiyong hyung?!”

“Yah! Get away from me!” GD tried to push Seungri’s face as the people around them laughed.

“No! I- oh!” Seungri hid his face under GD’s left armpit. “Noona! What are you doing there?”

SJ looked at the back of GD and was startled to see Dara hiding there.

“Dara ssi. Why are you hiding there? Aigoo. You know we don’t bite.” Leeteuk said smilingly.

“I’m sorry.” Dara said shyly and took a step forward on GD’s right side. “Annyeong everyone!” She flashed her most genuine smile.

Needless to say, that made the four idols left in awe.

“Your beauty is incomparable Dara ssi.” Shindong blurted out.

“Yah Shindong hyung! All of sudden!” Seungri stopped hugging GD and faced Shindong.

All of them just laughed.

“But it’s true Seungri ssi. Dara is a real beauty.” Leeteuk agreed which Eunhyuk nodded, mesmerized by his bestfriend's girlfriend's beauty.

The three of the Super Junior members then looked at the quiet guy beside them in the corner of their eyes.

Donghae’s eyes weren’t even blinking and were glued to only one figure.

That is his Dara.

His eyes were sparkling just like a child arriving in the toys’ section of a department store.

s chuckled at his reaction. They got something to tease the fish again once they got home.

Seungri simply smiled. Of course, he knew about their relationship and he’s more than happy for his favorite noona.

GD just looked at Donghae with a not so amused look and then to Dara. A smirk registered on his face upon remembering his noona’s look a while ago. Smile all you want Lee Donghae. I hope you won’t piss on your pants later though.

Dara didn’t look or even glance at him. Her mind was somewhere every antagonist of Koreanovelas had been hanging around to socialize with their kinds and plan on how to make the leading stars’ life miserable than it already were.

“It’s about to start. Let’s go hyung and noona.” Seungri said as he saw a staff calling them to sit on their respective chairs. “Let’s have fun guys!” He told the Super Junior which earned a loud ‘Yeah’ from the three.

Donghae’s gaze and smile didn’t faltered as she began to walk away.

She must be too shy to look and greet me.

GD and others might notice us so we have to be careful.

Aigoo. Santokki. You’re really cute trying to avoid my melting stare.

Kyeopta!!!

Donghae felt giddy when suddenly the whole Antarctic Ocean poured all over him.

That ocean was Park Sandara’s split-second glance at him.

SCREW YOU LEE DONGHAE!!!

It was a glare written all over her face.

His smile instantly faded and he froze from where he was standing.

What?

What on Earth did I do?!

“Uwaaaaaa! Look at our studio Seung Gi! It’s shining!” Hodong exclaimed.

“Ne! It’s so bright that I might need to wear sunglasses. Aigoo.” Everyone just smiled at Seung Gi’s remark. “The brightest and most sought after stars, from idols to actors, have come to join us in this episode. Look at them. Uwaaaaaaa.”                                                                            

 “Rain ssi. It’s your first time in Strong Heart, right?” Hodong asked.

“Ne. I’ve been told by many that an artist will be missing half of stardom if he/she won’t be guesting in Strong Heart.” Rain jokingly said.

“Aigoo. That is-” Hodong began to reply but was interrupted by Boom.

“A lie.”

Once again, laughter was spewed from the studio.

“Yah!” Seung Gi and Hodong went to Boom and smacked his head.

“I was about to say it’s an honor for us. Aish Boom.” Hodong made a face towards Boom as they went back to their rostrum.

“Mian. Mian. Please continue.” Boom apologetically bowed to them.

“Annyeong Kim Rae Won ssi! It is also your first time here, right?” Hodong asked the dashing actor.

“Ne.” He shyly replied.

“He’s one of the great actors that we have in South Korea. His recent movie, Gangnam Blues, with Lee Minho ssi was really awesome. I feel his character in that movie. It was daebak!” Hodong complimented him.

“Of course. It was actually being released to different countries all over Asia, right Rae Won sunbae?” Seung Gi asked.

“Ne. Uh. Thank you.”

“No need to be shy Rae Won ssi. We’ll know about your dirty little secrets later on.” Hodong said as-a-matter-of-factly. Everyone laughed.

“Yah! What dirty little secrets are you talking about?! Don’t scare him like that!” Jung Juri exclaimed.

“Shut up!” Hodong retorted in English, which seemed more like ‘Sha ap.’ This evoked laughter again.

“We have Super Junior and Bigbang in the house!” Seungi Gi happily exclaimed that made the fangirls in the audience shrieked. “Let’s start with. . . Super Junior!”

The four members of Super Junior stood up and introduced themselves, “Urineun Super Juni-oeyo!!!”

“The very handsome and talented Super Junior. ” Hodong said while clapping. “Do you guys need a new member? I could replace Shindong you know.”

“Yah hyung! You can’t!” Shindong violently protested from his seat.

Hodong suddenly went on the center and danced a part of Shindong in their famous Sorry, Sorry. He crossed his arms to his chest and put his right hand under his chin.

“Dan dan dan darandan darararan.”

It was the most awkward step ever as the man seemed to be struggling turning his upper body in a circular motion. This evoked another roar of laughter from everyone in the studio. SJ members fell from their seats because of laughing.

“What’s that?! You’re clearly insulting my boys!” Boom went to Hodong and they playfully pushed each other.

“Ani! Ani! I won’t do that. I love Super Junior! Super Junior Fighting!” Hodong raised his right hand. “But there’s something I’ve been dying to know. It feels like this is only the time I’d be able to find it out.”

“Wae? What is that hyung?” Seung Gi was confused suddenly.

There was a pause.

“Who are the real kings of KPop? Super Junior or Bigbang?”

There was a mixed reaction from everyone. Gasped as their mouths were widely opened for a few seconds. Laughed and clapped madly. Stood from their seats and protested. Facepalmed himself. (It was only GD.) 

“Hyung. That would create-” Seunggi began to say.

“Assassination of Kang Hodong Movement.” Boom once again dropped one of his ultimate one-liners.

Hodong laughed out loud and bowed his head three times. “Kidding. Kidding. Mianhe. ELFs and VIPs. . . Let’s have peace on Earth. Both are kings. They both give a different vibe.”

“Ne. It’s like SNSD and 2NE1. Both on top. Both different.” Seung Gi commented.

When they finally settled, Seunggi called the Bigbang members. “Now, one of the kings. . . the powerful and full of swag, Bigbang!”

Again, the fans squealed.

GD stood up and looked at their maknae behind him. He was surprised when Seungri didn’t even stand from his seat.

“Go on hyung.” Seungri confidently said and pointed his right hand to the stage.

“What’s that Seungri ah?” The hosts asked him as they both laughed.

Confusedly, GD simply faced the camera, introduced himself, “Bigbang’s leader, G-Dragon imnida,” smiled and bowed.

As soon as GD sat, a background sound was played. It was the sound of trumpets as it welcomes the king in his enormous castle.

Everyone was dumbfounded at first but then burst in laughter when Seungri stood from his seat while holding a confetti tube.

“Bigbang’s maknae. King Ri everyone.”

He said in his most charismatic tone and most serious look. He twisted the tube and released the confetti above his head. What made everyone rolled from laughing was when none of the confetti went to Seungri but headed all to GD.

“Oh.” GD looked amazed and raised both of his hands for a bit as he was being showered with all the confetti.

“Yah hyung! You’re enjoying it!” King Ri stomped his feet and pouted feeling absolutely dismayed that his antic was a total failure.

The hosts were on the floor; Seung Gi couldn’t even speak a single word as he tried to compose himself from laughing too much while Hodong was holding his jaw and said, “ Seungri ah . . . You’re just not destined to be a king.”

“Even the confetti doesn’t want to be governed by you.” Boom joked.

Seungri, disappointed and all, sat down, shook his head and sighed.

The hosts managed to stand again. “We still love you Seungri ssi. King or not. You belong to Strong Heart’s family. That will never change,” Seung Gi kindly said. This made Seungri flashed his bright smile again and everyone clapped.

“That’s right Seungri ssi. We love you no matter what happen,” Hodong agreed. “But I think Seung Gi will agree to me that we also love this.”

“What? What’s that hyung?” Seung Gi looked at his co-host.

“The fact that we have some of the most beautiful women in South Korea today in our studio.”

“Ne hyung! Whoooo!” Seung Gi exclaimed as he waved his hands up in the air.

“You look so excited Seung Gi! Are you allowed to act like that?” Hodong faced him seriously.

“Eh?”

“You have a total of eight eyes watching your every move Seungri ssi.” Eunhyuk . Of course, the Super Junior will also protect their SNSD hoobaes. Nuff said.

“A-aniyo.” Seunggi waved his hands in a crossed manner. “I’m just excited because it’s very rare to see them together. What more to have all of them be our guest in one episode. That’s all. Aish. You guys.” He pointed the SJ members and then swiftly made a heart gesture above his head and greeted brightly, “Annyeong Yoona!”

Everyone squealed from his cheesy act.

“Whoaa Seung Gi! You’re becoming more and more cheesy. Aigoo.” Hodong teased the now all red Lee Seung Gi.

“Moving on!” Everyone laughed at his desperate but funny way to divert the topic to another. “The Ever Youthful Dara ssi. Annyeong! How are you?”

“A-annyeong.” Dara stood and bowed to them. “I’m 2NE1’s Dara.” She sat back and smiled.

“Say Dara ssi. Did you bring new lessons that you’ve learned from Seungri’s Academy?” Hodong asked her.

“Ne! Definitely! Please anticipate it with all your might Strong Heart viewers.” Dara gave them an assuring smile and bowed again.

“Hahahaha! She seems prepared. What can you say master Seungri?” Hodong then asked him.

“It will be the Sandara Park that no one has ever seen before.” Seungri said proudly.

This gained an ‘Oooooooooohhh’ reaction from everybody.

“W-wait. . .That’s a bit. . .” Dara began to stutter.

“Dara ssi is a hundred percent pressured now because of what you’ve said Seungri ssi. Aigoo.” Seung Gi playfully reprimanded the King Ri.

“Eh? But Dara noona is the hidden Atlantis in South Korea’s variety shows.”

“Yah! Lee Seung Hyun! Shut up your big mouth!” Dara tried to reach for Seungri on her left but he just held her arms and smiled at his favorite noona.

“Atlantis? Hahahaha!” Hodong and Seung Gi simultaneously laughed. “But on a serious note. Dara ssi and Seungri ssi’s relationship as a noona/dongsaeng. . . I mean, are you guys really that close? You seem to be.” Seunggi asked the two.

“Ne. Like Venus and Cupid,” Hodong added seriously.

“Aren’t those two in a mother/son relationship?” Rain blurted out as he chuckled by himself. The rest of the guests laughed with the sudden realization.

“Yah! That’s right Kang Hodong!” Boom shouted at him.

“But Dara ssi is really comparable to Venus though.” Leeteuk thoughtfully defended Hodong’s remark. “She is a real goddess of beauty.”

Dara smiled shyly from the Super Junior leader’s comment on her looks.

“As for Cupid’s free-spirited attitude-” Leeteuk began to add but then was cut off by Eunhyuk.

“I think Seungri ssi also looks . . . okay with only a diaper on.”

Eunhyuk’s comment made a roar of laughter from everyone. The BB’s maknae just hid his face through his palms as he laughed along the thought of wearing a diaper while shooting the loveless people with his bow and arrow.

“But really Seungri ssi. . . you and Dara ssi?” Hodong managed to get back on the question.

“Uh. Ne! That’s right. Noona and I are really super close. In fact, I’m her closest friend, other than the 2NE1 members, in YG.” Seungri was being proud and all.

“Heol!” GD immediately jerked from his seat. His face screamed a chary look.

Males found his reaction funny while the females as cute.

“G Dragon ssi. Do you agree to him?” Hodong asked him with a questioning look.

“Absolutely not. Nobody would want to be close to him, so-”

“Hyung!” Seungri walked towards GD and began tugging GD’s sleeves.

The rest of the introduction went as fun as the first ones. Lee Hyori and Hodong were teased to each other as they both showed playfully disgusted by the thought of it. ZE:A’s Kwanghee was also accepted as one of the new students in Seungri’s Academy. The actresses, So Min and So Eun showed their hidden aegyo that made all the males’ hearts in the studio fluttered. . 4Minute’s Hyuna and Jihyun danced energetically with their recent song, Crazy, which was joined by Shindong ala Kwon So Hyun.

Leeteuk, Shindong, and Eunhyuk then proceeded to their special part in the program. They revealed pictures of the guests from the cutest ones to the most horrible images. Everyone was being good sport to it and enjoyed the fun as it ended.

A 30-minute break was followed. Some took the opportunity to eat and retouch their make-up while others to re-think if the stories that each of them has written were really fun to share with.

The break has ended.

The battle of the stories had finally begun!

Rain was the first one to share his story. He talked about his relationship with Korea’s Goddess, Kim Tae Hee. Their first meeting. Why he loves her. His recent baptism. The guests and audience couldn’t help but feel envious towards the sweet and admirable couple. Hodong then teased Rae Won and Rain. Tae Hee and Rae Won starred in the top rating series, Lovers in Harvard, back in 2004. Both guys simply laughed at all the teasing and ended it with a handshake.

The next one to share her story was Lee Hyori. She told them about keeping up with the title, Queen of KPop. The pros and cons about it. Seung Gi commented that 4Minute’s Hyuna was actually being dubbed as the next Lee Hyori. The Ms. Korea hitmaker then asked for a dance battle between her and Hyuna to see if she’s got it. The studio suddenly got hotter as the two performed their most y moves. 

In the end, Rain still won over her.

ZE:A’s Kwanghee revealed that if he would be reincarnated, he’d like to be Bigbang’s G-Dragon. He enumerated the things that he likes about GD such as his swag, charisma on stage, talents, handsome face and unique fashion statement. Kwanghee then performed a parody of GD’s Crooked that made GD fell from his seat for laughing too much. He then joined his GDragonwannabe performed the song. To Kwanghee’s surprise, he was able to beat Rain. Thus, the new Strong Heart champion.

Kim So Eun talked about her relationship with her We Got Married husband, Song Jae Rim. She shared the pros and cons of being virtually married. Leeteuk added his thoughts about it since he, together with Kang Sora, had participated in that show. Still, Kwanghee won.

Jung So Min showed her secret talent and some acting tips.

4Minute’s Hyuna talked about Cube’s president and his gifts to 4Minute last 2014 Christmas. SM and YG also revealed what did their presidents gave them as presents. Kwanghee was still the winner.

GD’s story revolved around YGFamily’s concert. He talked how different YG artists are on and off stage. Different video clips of Bigbang, 2NE1, WINNER, Psy, and even the YG president himself goofing behind the spotlight. YGFamily’s concert won over Kwanghee’s dream.

“I didn’t expect that from YG Entertainment,” Hodong said in a very unbelieving tone.

“Ne. They always have this strong and powerful aura so seeing them act cute and childish is really refreshing,” Seung Gi explained.

“It’s unbelievable. Yang Hyun Suk is doing a gwiyomi.” Hodong’s eyes widened to its extent and mouth opened, expressing his confusion and amazement to the YG’s president video.

“Ne. He’s. . . I-“ Seung Gi also tried to comprehend what he just saw from the clips that GD had shown.

Boom suddenly stood up and addressed the SH’s program director, “Director. For the teaser of this episode, just put YG’s Gwiyomi alone. Keep on replaying that. I’m sure that it will be enough to beat even the highest rated show in the history of South Korea’s variety shows.”

Everyone laughed at his suggestion.

On a second thought, he maybe has a point.

“Moving on. Our next challenger . . . he also belongs to YG Family,” Seung Gi began.

“Plus, he is a certified Strong Heart family as well.” Everyone already had idea who it was.

“Strong Heart’s Ace, King Ri!!!” The hosts, both excited, announced in unison.

For the second time, the sound of trumpets was played that erupted another laughter from the other guests, hosts and audience. Seungri was holding another confetti tube above his head and twisted its bottom to explode.

This time the confetti didn’t went to GD anymore . . .

but all to Dara!

That made everyone in the studio crazy from laughing. There were those, even GD, who fell from their seats and holding their stomach as they struggle from the pain of laughing. The hosts were both lying on the floor, laughing too hard with their reddened faces.

“This is so frustrating!” The second-time epic failure maker threw the tube harshly on the center. The hosts were startled when they heard a smash from their side but then laughed again; they composed themselves and fixed their clothes.

Seungri just sat down and asked thoughtfully, “Should I bring fireworks next time?”

“Aigooooo.”  Was the only thing his fellow guests could say.

“You can’t do that Seungri ssi,” Seunggi kindly dismissed the thought.

“King Ri never fails to entertai
