.
Lee Siyoung now starts to give her question to begin the "Quiz About Me" segment of the show.
"...Before I debuted, what was my job?"
Kyunghoon raised his hands to be the first to take a guess.
"Bodyguard.."
"Haha! Wrong!"
"Hotelier?" Yeongchul said.
"Wrong"
"Do you have a religion?" Kyunghoon asks.
"Why would you bring up religion?" Soogeun laughs.
"You want to match your religion to her didn't you.." Heechul said.
"No. I was going to answer she was a monk if she said she was a Buddhist" Kyunghoon explains and the people at the back of the class laughs even more.
"Oh god its even funnier to hear Kyunghoon hyung answers in person.." James laughingly said to Sangmin, and he agrees.
"Which one of us would best fit that job?" Heechul ask for another hint.
"hmm.. Soogeun.. and maybe James also.." Siyoung replied.
James and Soogeun got shocked upon the mention of their names. Soogeun quickly try to take a guess and James follows.
"Kindergarten Teacher?"
"Wrong!"
"Waitress?"
"Wrong!"
"Swindler?" Soogeun took another guess.
Siyoung laughs but instructed Soogeun to get down for the punishment afterwards.
"Get down?.. why?"
Soogeun did what Siyoung told him. He gets down on the floor and Siyoung approaches him with a toy hammer. Siyoung make sure that Soogeun is in the right position before hitting him. BAM!. Siyoung slammed the toy hammer to Soogeun's ass, it so loud that it echoes in the whole studio. The other cast got a bit scared and shaking at Siyoung's strength.
"damn.. I was about to say a silly answer.." James rethinks of answering Siyoung's question.
"Actually thanks, I had a hemorrhoid and it went back in" Soogeun manage to say something funny after his punishment.
"Another hint is because both Soogeun and James are very social" Siyoung gives a hint. That give way for the cast to say a bunch of wrong and funny answers, until..
"..Racing girl?" Janghoon said, in which no one expects. Siyoung and the cast just laugh at his answer.
"Hyung stop liking racing girls!" Heechul said.
"She could have been one! And when did I like them so much?" Janghoon retorted.
The cast starts to give Siyoung silly answers. One in particular is Ho dong's answer where he also got punished for, he answered 'Con artist'.
Siyoung gives them another hint.. "It has something to do with baths"
"Is it a person who scrubs off your dead skin cells for you?" Janghoon quickly said another silly answer that make Siyoung laugh.
"Sports massage?" Sangmin said.
"Janitor!" James yelled and Siyoung laughs harder. "Yah she too pretty to be a janitor" Heechul yelled at James.
"Clerk at a sauna?" Soogeun answers.
"No, but close.."
Finally someone got a close answer. The others started to raised their hands and calling Siyoung's attention wildly. But Siyoung settle them down to give way for Kyunghoon to answer. "Hold on. Kyunghoon raised his hands."
"Clerk at a sauna concession stand" Kyunghoon answered.
"Correct!" Siyoung is happy.
"Haha it's all a set-up for Kyunghoon hyung" James said laughing.
Siyoung then explains a bit of her past and how she ended up doing many jobs including being a clerk at a sauna concession stand until she finally debuted to became an actress.
"Give us the next question please." Heechul said.
"Okay, I will" Siyoung replied sweetly. "My dad loves to do the housework, but my mom cried because of him one time. Why do you think she cry?"
"He broke your mom's favorite dishes.." Soogeun answers.
"No. Actually my mom was very hurt by this." Siyoung replied.
James raised his hands and say his answer, everyone is looking at him.. "Your father was parking the car... but he didn't see your mom, so she got hit by the car"
Everyone laughed at his out unexpected answer. They are in disbelief, they didn't expect James to think that way.
"Yah! that's too much!" Heechul yelled at him. "What's the matter with you!" Janghoon said.
"Noona said her mom got very hurt.." James defends his answer.
"It feels like that answer came from Kyunghoon" Ho dong is still laughing. "Right, but a lighter one." Soogeun said.
Kyunghoon looks at James and gives him a thumbs up, acknowledging him.
"It has something to do with the laundry" Siyoung give the cast a hint.
"When your parents are folding the clean laundry your dad scolded your mom for doing it wrong" Janghoon answers.
"Wrong"
"When your father is hanging up the laundry your mom saw that he was wearing her underwear" Kyunghoon gives his answer. "Aish.." Janghoon got embarrassed at Kyunghoon's answer.
"No. It's when my dad is about to do the laundry." Siyoung explains.
"He was in a hurry to wash the clothes so, he put your mom inside the washing machine" James answers again.
"Aish..what's the matter with the two of you?" Janghoon scold Kyunghoon and James.
"That's wrong but very similar.." Siyoung said. "Oh? jinjja?" everyone exclaims. "See.." James is laughing.
"I got it!" Sangmin stood up. "Your father is about to do the laundry, so takes off the your mother's clothes when she is sleeping in order to wash them"
"Correct" Siyoung smiles happily, and Sangmin celebrates for getting the correct answer.
"Really? No way.." Janghoon and Heechul is in disbelief.
"I can't even think of that answer, how did you came up with that?" Soogeun looks at Sangmin.
"..that's even worse to my answer" James just laughs.
Siyoung then explains that his father loves to do the laundry and that whenever there isn't much enough clothes he looks for dirty clothes inside the house.
"Give me your address. I'll send you our clothes." Soogeun said to Siyoung.
.
Siyoung gives the next question.. "There was a time when I used to live alone. When is the moment when I felt the saddest?"
"When your dad came to take your clothes while you were sleeping in order to wash them." Janghoon answers using the previous correct one.
"Wrong!"
"Whenever you want to spar there's no one there since you are living alone. And that made you upset" Heechul answered.
Its wrong answer and Siyoung approached him without saying a words to give him a punishment. Seeing there's no way around it, Heechul just stood up and gets down.
"But that's a thing in boxing right? i think its called shadow boxing.." James said. Siyoung looked at him and give him a smile, "Yup, that's right!"
"Why do you want us to get down?" Ho dong asked Siyoung.
"It'll hurt if I hit you in the head" Siyoung replied to Ho dong and proceeds to hit Heechul. And same thing with Soogeun, the sound of the hit echoes in the whole studio. Heechul stood up quickly to shake of the pain.
"How does it feel?" curious and concerned Yeongchul asks.
"Its weird, the moment the hammer hit me, it somewhat feels nice.." Heechul tried to hide the pain through some sweet words.
"I'll answer.." Janghoon said. ".. Since you did boxing you had to look after your weight division but you couldn't eat...."
"Wrong!" Siyoung cuts him since its already wrong.
Kyunghoon gives it a try.. "When you had to put patches on you after you boxed but there were places you couldn't reach"
"My hands can reach anywhere, so that wasn't a problem" Siyoung said.
"You are living alone and taking a shower, but a delivery came in for you. But since you're in the shower, you can't get it. You wish someone would get it for you." Soogeun answers. Siyoung aprroach him, "Get down".
"He's not done yet" Sangmin and Ho dong said. "It's already wrong" Siyoung replied. The cast keeps telling her its not finish. "There's a process in my answer.." Soogeun pleads.
"Okay, let's hear it" Siyoung gives him a chance.
"You came out after your shower. There's a delivery, it's no time for them to come but they did. You're wondering what to do, and you sit down on the bed. You turn on the television, but your laughing all alone by yourself..-" Soogeun failed, Siyoung just hit him lightly in the mouth to stop.
"Get down" Siyoung told Soogeun.
"You already hit me like more than 10 times but you want me to get down?" Soogeun protested.
"Araso.. mianhae.." Siyoung accepts it and walk away laughing.
Since the cast is having a hard time getting the correct answer again, Siyoung gives them a hint.. "It has to do with forearms"
"Ah!.. your forearms broke, so you couldn't feed yourself" Yeongchul answered.
"No. But I didn't have strength in them though." Siyoung replied.
It's now Heechul's turn.. "In the bathroom, you pooed and then.." Siyoung is already laughing at Heechul's answer. ".. you were trying to get toilet paper, but your forearms hurt" the others started to laugh.
"Unfortunately, you're wrong" Siyoung said. "It has something to do with eating"
Heechul answers again.. "You ate food, and then you're supposed to brush your teeth. But you had no strength in your arms so you couldn't brush them for days. That's why when people meet you they'll say 'Siyoung you stink'. Then its very sad because you couldn't brush your teeth since you're injured." Everyone is just laughing at Heechul's ridiculous answer. Siyoung is laughing but she still gonna give him a punishment.
"You can just lean against the desk" Siyoung told Heechul and gets in the position. It was less powerful this time but still produced a loud sound.
"You ordered food but you couldn't open it" Yeongchul answers.
"Wrong!"
"I got it! You want to drink water, but because you're injured can't open the water bottles" Heechul confidently answers.
"You got it!"
Siyoung explains how hard it is for her during those times. Living alone with no one to look out for you. Some of the cast can sympathize with her, including James, who had been living alone and away from his family.
"Who here lives alone?" Siyoung asks. Heechul, Janghoon, Sangmin and James raised their hands.
"I used to live alone" Kyunghoon said.
"During that time, when did you feel the saddest?" Siyoung asked him.
"I ordered jjamppong and eat it at home. But I had a schedule, so I just left it and went out. I came back three days later to discover the soup was gone all gone. It evaporated into the air. I was so sad then, I had to do everything because no one will clean it." Kyunghoon shared his story.
"When were you the saddest Heechul" Siyoung asked Heechul.
"When his girlfriend goes home too soon" Soogeun said. Heechul and the others just laugh at the unexpected comment.
"Or when his girlfriend texted him that she cannot come because she is busy and she has a schedule" James follows up, which continues to bring laughs to them. Heechul unable to speak a word at the sudden attack from Soogeun and James.
"Wait.... schedule?.. " Janghoon sense something with James' answer. ".. is it a celebrity?" Sangmin gets what Janghoon is thinking, James got cornered all of sudden with Sangmin standing at his side already. Ho dong joins in at interrogating.
Heechul stood up sensing danger because he just remembered that James knew something about him. James saw Heechul stood up from his seat and he knew why, so James decides to tease a bit more.
"You knew something.." Ho dong is pointing at James. "Knew what?" James replied.
"Who is it?" Sangmin is pushing James. "His girlfriend is a celebrity isn't?".
"I don't know.." James replied, but he is smiling differently. Heechul is feeling nervous, James might spill it out accidentally if he really knew something.
"You said busy with her schedule.. she must be a celebrity.." Janghoon insists.
"I--- uh... wait, everyone can be busy and everyone can have a schedule, right?" James replied. It's already a chaos at the class.
"Aniya! aniya!.. look at your face, you're hiding something. You saw him right with his girlfriend didn't you?" Janghoon got excited on the fact that James looks like he is about to spill some information.
"Kim Heechul's girlfriend, who is it? 1... 2... 3... " Ho dong asked James.
.

"Min Kyunghoon!" James answers.
"What?! HAHAHA" Ho dong and the others burst out of laughter.
"I thought it was the other way around.." Soogeun said. "You mean Heechul is the girl?.., HAHAHA" James burst into laughter after realizing what he meant.
Heechul just plops down to the floor laughing and feeling defeated. But at the very least James managed to slipped off from the topic. Well, not quite.. Janghoon is still not letting it go.
"Yah! seriously who is his girlfriend?" Janghoon is determined to figure it out.
"Hyung I don't know really, I saw him before but I think it was his stylists or assistant. I just said that earlier for the sake of answering Siyoung noona's question." James pretends to speak in a serious tone.
"Right, he was just giving funny answer earlier.. don't make it serious.." Soogeun comes to his defense.
"Give him a break, this is his debut episode, he was just trying his best.." Yeongchul defends James also.
Janghoon finally gives up but he knew something fishy is going on. James is relieved that Soogeun and Yeongchul backed him up. But there's one more person who can't simply let it slip.
Sangmin reaches in and taps James' shoulder.. "who is it?" he spoke quietly, almost whispering but loud enough for the others to hear.
"I really don't know hyung.." James insisted.
"But you saw him with someone that time?"
James was stunned for a couple of seconds, he didn't expect Sangmin's follow up question.
"HA!!" Sangmin cornered him again. James looked down and just laughed, he failed to shut the topic down. At the side, Heechul is thinking of something that can help James out. But nothing he coming up on his mind.
James is getting mobbed again by Sangmin and Janghoon, the two were desperate to know the real thing. And in the midst of chaos happening in the classrom, James accidentally put himself in danger..
"Who is it?!" Sangmin is grabbing James' shoulders.
"We know you saw him with someone.. just tell us.." Janghoon is questioning him.
".. I really don't know, I was in a cafe with Sulli and we saw Heechul hyung ---....." James realized what just came out from his mouth, and its too late.
"SULLI!??"
"Wait..!!"
"Did you say Sulli?"
"What?!"
"Sulli? F(x)?"
Everyone is in shock from what they just heard. James is now in the spotlight. And the cast didn't waste time to mobbed him.
"Hey is it Sulli from F(x)?" Ho dong asked.
"Why?! Why?!".. James managed to think of something that can save him. "Yes, Choi Sulli.. we are friends what's wrong with that?" James talked casually to pretend and hide that he is not flustered. And it works..
"Really? how?" Kyunghoon asked.
"Sulli and her friends are often in the Happy Seoul Club. They watched me performed and one night I was informed that she is in the audience, so afterwards I went to their table and asked for an autograph. Then one of her friends invited me to their table and then we started talking and after that we all became friends." James explained. But that's not what really happened with Sulli. Luckily, the cast buys it and James is relieved that he made them believed on that made up story.
Everyone finally moved on, and they proceed for another quiz from Siyoung.
"What is the reason I like boxing?"
"You so beautiful that you want to protect yourself" Soogeun answers.
"I like that answer but it's wrong" Siyoung replied.
Heechul raised his hands and answers "You didn't like your nose in the first place..." he is not yet finish but Siyoung and the cast are already laughing. "... so you find boxing a good reason to get surgery" Siyoung proceed to hit him with the hammer afterwards.
"I tried many sports, and after this about boxing" Siyoung give them a hint.
"I got it" Janghoon raised his hand. "..Unexpectedly, boxing is the safest sport."
"Correct!"
"Really?"
"Eh?.. how"
The cast is in disbelief but Siyoung explains why she thinks boxing is the safest sport.
"Out of all the members of Ask Us Anything/Knowing Brothers, who do I want to recommend boxing to and why?" Siyoung ask another question.
"Out all of us, Soogeun will be the best at boxing. Because he has great reflexes, for many years he's been trained by dodging Ho dong, he knows when the danger is coming his way" Sangmin asnwers.
"Wrong"
James raised his hand.. "Soogeun... so you can teach him how to beat the crap out of Ho dong". The unexpected answer from the new member bring laughter to everyone in the studio. James quickly approach Ho dong afterwards to say sorry.
"What's the matter with you?" Ho dong asked,
"I got the idea from Sangmin hyung's answer,..... it will be like Soogeun hyung's revenge.." James explains.
"Actually it was the writers idea, they said I should attack you if get the chance..." James said as he walking back to his seat.
"What?" Ho dong looked at the writers, some of them hide their faces and avoids eye contact to Ho dong.
.
"Lee Sangmin. Teach him how to box so he can drive his creditors away." Janghoon asnwers.
"Wrong! but you got the right person"
"Is it to overcome panic disorder?" Sangmin answers.
"Correct!"
"Really?" everyone is a bit surprised.
"How?" Yeongchul asked.
"Through boxing I come to know a lot of people and after talking deeply with them, I realized most of them had depression and panic disorder. It might not be true but I think by doing sports you can overcome those" Siyoung explains.
Siyoung then demonstrates to the class some boxing moves and techniques. She also showed them some of her skills and how powerful she by having a little sparring session with Sangmin. Everyone is amazed at Siyoung because she is so 'chic' that moment. A very beautiful woman that can send a grown ass man to the emergency room.
The rest of the show continues, the skit part was great, everyone showed their improvisation skills. As for James, he did good even though this was his debut episode and his first time doing skit.
The show ended and everyone went back to their rooms to rest for a bit before the dinner. James is sitting on the couch inside his room when someone knocked on the door,
Heechul opens the door.. "Hey, you good? let's have dinner"
"Right behind you hyung..." James followed him outside.
"Hey, thanks for not telling the truth to them.." Heechul said as they walking down the hallway.
"Eh?.. ?" James is confused.
"Gosh.. now that i realized.. you even had the same expression.." Heechul laughs.
"Hyung what are you talking about?" James is still confused.
"I mean thanks for not telling them her name.." Heechul said.
"To be honest hyung, I didn't know who she is.." James replied.
"What? jinjja?!" Heechul said in a loud voice. ".. but I thought you and Sulli saw her?" he then whispers after realizing he was loud.
"Well yeah we saw her but come on hyung she is wearing a face mask, a cap, etc.." James explains.
"is that so?"
"but I remember the color of the hair, it was like pinkish-brown-ish? I don't know.. not good with colors.." James trying to remember the color of hair.
"WAIT!!! don't tell me its ----mmmmggghhh"
Heechul covers James mouth before he can say the name because they saw Kyunghoon and Yeongchul down the hallway. James figured it out.
"sshhh... she is not my girlfriend... well, not yet I suppose." Heechul begs.
"Oh... I see, so you guys just hanging out that night?" James replied.
"Sort of, we've been going out couple of times already.." Heechul explains.
"How was it so far?"
"mm.. great I guess, I mean we're having a good time." Heechul replied.
"Nice. Keep it up hyung! Just be careful at paparazzis tho. Don't worry I'll keep it a secret" James said.
"Yeah yeah, got it. Thanks! I wonder if Sulli knows the girl.." Heechul asked.
"hmm.. she probably not. But to be sure I will call her and tell her to keep it a secret also." James replied.
"Thanks, anyway let's go. They might get suspicious if got late from the dinner"
.
.
The cast are having dinner with the whole crew.
"James you did a good job today" Ho dong approached James.
"oh.. thanks sunbaenim..." James bows.
"Good to have you on the show... I think you're a great addition to the cast.." Ho dong said.
"No, sunbaenim.. I will try my best to be good on the show.." James replied.
"Haha just do what you did today, same energy and same wit.." Ho dong pats James' back. "... wait, you don't have meat on your plate.. go eat some.. come come" Ho dong pulls James to the table.
James is getting some meats and kimbap with Ho dong when Siyoung approached them.
"Hi Ho dong Oppa.. thanks for having me on the show" Siyoung said.
"Oh.. it's our pleasure.. I hope you can come again" Ho dong replied.
"James... nice to meet you" Siyoung gives him a smile. And James is stunned at the beauty of the actress.
"...uh... nice to meet you too noona.." James' jaws dropped.
"I'm a fan.." Siyoung said.
"a what?" James snaps out and surprised.
"yeah, I watched you like 3 times in Happy Seoul Club.." Siyoung explains.
"Oh... wait... really?"
"Yes, I'm glad to finally meet you, I didn't know this will be your debut episode." Siyoung said.
"T-thanks noona, I hope you can visit the club again." James replied.
"Do you mind if we get a picture together, I want to show it to my friends.." Siyoung said.
"Eh... really.. I-I mean sure noona"
Siyoung pulls out her phone and took a couple of selca with James.
"Thanks, I will post this on my SNS.. by the way what's yours so I can tag you" Siyoung asked.
"Sure.. its ...(your SNS)..." James replied.
"Great! thanks. By the way let's eat, we can talk at the table."
James and Siyoung went to the join the other cast at their table. Siyoung and James sits together and they talk most of the time.
"Noona I still can't believe you're 35..."
"What do you mean?" Siyoung asked.
"You look younger.." James said.
"Ey stop it.. but thanks." Siyoung is flattered. ".. that's a pretty bracelet, where'd you buy it?"
"Oh this? no, this is a gift from Sulli." James explained.
"Oh I see, is she your girlfriend?" Siyoung asked.
James almost spits the kimbap he is eating.. "..mmppftt.. noona no! she had a boyfriend!".
"Haha sorry I'm just kidding" Siyoung is laughing.
Then they noticed that the other cast is ganging up on Heechul again. Janghoon and Sangmin are still trying to know who the girl he with. Siyoung decides to join in and save Heechul.
"You guys still not done with that? I thought you all done with that" Siyoung asked.
"Yeah, but James doesn't know who is it, so we need to know.." Sangmin replied.
"Ok ok fine..." Heechul gives up. "...I can't tell who she is.. its for her own good. Then she's not my girlfriend, we are just going out. Okay?".
Heechul finally say something to the rest of the cast. Everyone went silent for a couple of second. But it looks like some of them weren't sure about it or atleast looking for an assurance. They all looked at James.
"..what?.. that's the truth." James said.
"Well there you go.." Siyoung follows up.
"Okay then, but you should tell us who is it if she become your girlfriend or if you two are not going out anymore, okay?" Ho dong said to Heechul in a serious tone.
"I promise hyung.."
Now that topic is out the way everyone finally go back to eating peacefully. The rest of the night passed by, and one by one people are staring to go home. James packing up the rest of his stuff when Siyoung dropped by his room to say goodbye before going home. She invited him to come to the gym with her to help him get in shape. After that James go to the rooms of the cast to say goodbye before he left the building.
30 mins later James arrived at his apartment. He is so tired that he just plopped himself in the couch as soon as he entered the apartment. After a few minutes his phone rings. He reached for it and answers it..
"Hey dude!!"
"Hey hyung! How you doing?" the person on the other line asked.
"I just got home, just lying down. Anyway what's up?" James replied.
"You free tomorrow?"
"hmm... I guess.. why?" James asked.
"Can you come with me to this place.. the managers are all busy and you're the only I can think of that can come with me.."
"Oh sure! okay no prob kook. Let's meet at your dorm." James said.
"Kamsahamnida hyung! sorry to bother you.." Jungkook said.
"No no, it's cool.. don't worry about it" James replied.
"Don't worry hyung I got good news for you tomorrow. See you, bye bye!" Jungkook puts down the phone immedietely.
"um what? --- hey kook! you still there? hello?"
"I wonder what is it...".
James is confused. He just shrugged it off for now since he is very tired and he wanted to go to sleep.

To be continued....
**A friend of mine suggested that I should not make my chapters long. So yeah I took the advice and revised this chapter and cuts it down to almost 50% of the original. LOL XD.
