[ LEGACY PRESENTS - COMMERCIAL FILM ]

ichika and @lgcmeng vs. pool of flour 

It’s hard not to let out a yelp when her feet sink into the cold paste. It gushes and squishes under Ichika’s feet in a way that makes the skin of her back crawl, and unable to help herself, she looks at the camera with a silent cry that is met with laughter from the staff. She hates it, god she hates it so much but there’s nothing Ichika can do except stare in pain between the camera and Meng, one hand coming up to hold onto the other girl’s elbow as the staff explain the purpose of this challenge, and that they have to keep moving, something that catches Ichika’s attention, eyes growing wide and she looks down the pool and struggles a little to shift her legs. They’re supposed to find a family of small dolls in the paste — each representing one of the fourteen group members — duplicates and other items were placed in the paste to trick them, and silently Ichika curses whoever came up with this idea. 

sixteen months is so little. ara’s eyes are wide as saucers as she stares at the little boy that meng and she would be taking care of. matthew kim, is his name, and he is thissmall. not a newborn at all, but smaller than anyone or anything ara has ever had to look after.  the idea to rejoin the show might have been a mistake after all. last time she was with alec who was so comfortable with the babes, and even then they were toddlers last time. but this time - a whole baby. ara’s the baby in the family, if anything. but even so, she’s excited. there’s camera crew around, and meng is here, and if anything was to truly happen that was an emergency, there would be help available. after the initial introductions, they are left with matthew and at first, ara simply plays with him a little, but mostly cooing over how tiny he was. but also how mobile he was. 

“oh my gosh, you move too fast!” they were playing some music in the background and matthew danced to it to an extent, moves kind of jerky yet fluid simultaneously. “looks like we’re going to have a future idol, meng. he’s on beat! i think.” she laughs, as she moves out of the way of the camera, but also staying within reach in case he tumbled. 

a closed starter for @lgcmeng

          It was still strange to Alex that over the past couple of years Meng had been someone who stayed in his life that was able to make him start, slowly, softening up a bit. She was the one who was the reason behind him actually letting people in like he was lately and he didn’t know if he should be thankful towards her or what. Though once he thought about it, if it weren’t for her, he wouldn’t have met the few people he had so maybe he should be thankful after all? The two of them sort of just balanced one another out when they were around each other. He helped her in some ways and she helped him in other ways as well.

            Yeah, Alex still wasn’t fully committed to letting just anyone into his life, but he had improved a bit compared to how he was back in the states. Maybe it wasn’t so bad like he was making it seem to be. Only time would tell though but for now, he figured he’d just go with the flow and see what the outcome would be. Hopefully, he wouldn’t screw himself over like he did a few years ago.

            Alex was in his dorm playing yet another round of PUBG on his phone, something he seemed to do a lot but it was what he enjoyed doing when his schedule was free. After finishing another couple rounds he exited out and sighed, laying in his bed and looking up at the ceiling. He thought for a moment before he began scrolling through his contacts, stopping once he saw Meng’s name. He tapped on the message icon and stared at the screen before he finally began typing. For once he was actually bored and needed someone to distract him from the boredness he was currently dealing with.

           { ✉ ➝ Meng } Yo! You free right now?            { ✉ ➝ Meng } Kinda bored and need to get out and do something before I go crazy....

a starter for @lgcmeng​

jaesun is honestly surprised they’re letting him host eat with jae for a third season. have people not grown bored of it yet? it seems that they haven’t yet ( thankfully ). he himself has mixed feelings about the show, if he had to be honest. he loves getting to chat with his guests and learn about them. he also does love to eat, but there is a part of him that worries that it’s too simple for a show. that doing this quarter after quarter isn’t really showing a new side of him, but the old side in repetition. but then he also has to remember that his show isn’t always about him. it’s to really bring light to his guest.

today’s guest is honestly someone he himself doesn’t even know well. of course, he’d seen her around the company and greeted her a few times, but to say that he knows more than that would be lying. briefly before the show, he had explained to her the general process. he’d introduce the show, turn it over to her, and then they’d get started on eating and he’ll ask her questions. she, of course, was also more than welcome to ask questions of him. at the end of the day, it should be a dialogue.

she’s thankful for days like these: no extravagant sets nor dozens of staff members hidden behind rows of cameras and microphones. for the past few months, danbi’s hardly had the time to really sit down and just talk without the pressure of being entertaining over her shoulder—with ‘future dreams’ and now with the impending debut of the legacy girls, she’s been charging full-speed ahead with barely enough of a break to really catch her breath.

mind you, she’s fully aware of how grateful she should be for all the work, but she views their vlive today as more of a blessing than anything else—a rare opportunity to, strangely enough, relax.

and for that, she’s grateful that her partner for the day’s zimeng, someone who danbi doesn’t have to try too hard to feel comfortable with—they’re similar in a number of ways, for birds of a feather truly flock together (even if she’s sadly left the nest first). so conversation comes natural, almost to the point where she nearly forgets to transition their chit chat to introductions when the staff members finally announce they’ve gone live.

“hello everyone!” danbi firstly greets, mindful to keep her voice lower than usual during a show recording. “i’m geum danbi,” she states, eyes glancing to the side as zimeng’s visual cue to introduce herself next.

suddenly having free time on his hands shouldn’t feel as novel as it does. it shouldn’t be a rare thing, leaving hyunseok at a loss of what to do with it. he’s used to staying occupied, whether by choice or design. the sole perk of having a busy schedule means that he always knows what he needs to do next—he’s always moving forward in the direction of some goal, instead of wandering aimlessly. and yet tonight, wandering aimlessly is exactly what he’s doing.

with his hands jammed in his pockets, hyunseok weaves through the halls of the legacy building with no real goal in mind. since the restaurant closed abruptly for the evening, he doesn’t have any pressing obligations to take care of. the next best thing after work is to try squeeze some extra dance practice in—or lie in bed, but hyunseok feels guilty about wasting the time he has on hand. he needs to be productive in some way even when he’s meant to be ‘relaxing’ or he’ll be left with the vague sense of failure because he could’ve done more—and chose not to.

(“i think this is what we call a sickness,” his older sister comments.  “you need to learn how to chill.”

“i’m chill,” hyunseok responds, even though she’s right and he’s never ‘chilled’ a day in his life.)

this is how he likes to do things: he needs a sense of accomplishment to fully relax. but that might prove hard to find tonight. a crease forms in between his eyebrows as he passes by the occupied practice rooms. most, if not all, are full with the evening sessions trainees working hard. on some level, hyunseok should’ve anticipated this, but he rarely stays beyond the end of the morning training sessions. trying to gauge how busy the building would be at this hour completely slipped his mind, and now he feels like he’s doomed to just lurk outside various rooms and waste time until people start leaving. the guilt, the vague sense of urgency (you should be doing something) is already forming in the back of his mind.

but hyunseok hits a hard pause on those feelings when he spots a familiar face leaving the practice room for dinner break. really, this one hour is his best chance of getting some practice in tonight, but he feels like it’s been a while since he last had the chance to talk to meng. he’ll always have a soft spot in his heart for people who joined the company at the same time as he did—they’re comrades-in-arms, or something like that. meng, hyunseok remembers, had some specific challenges to deal with, and he’s always felt the need to watch over her, just in case she needs help. though more than that, he’s just happy to see her doing well.

“meng!” he calls out, waving brightly before falling into step with her. “are you going to grab some dinner? mind i join you?” for all the emphasis on productivity, he’d gladly reject it to spend time with a friend. “i was just hanging around and—you know, i haven’t seen you in a while! we should catch up.”
