【✖】  LEGACY HALL BATTLE — S3E1

It was bittersweet to enter through the doors to shoot the first episode of his final season. Initially, he didn't have specific guests in mind when the producers asked him, but the more he thought of the simple request, wouldn't Milan be the perfect guest for his final season? Every season seemed like the wrong place, wrong time for the two of them. He hadn't been able to appear on her show and she had embarked on a special journey, which kept her from appearing last season. Still, he didn't think that her filming for his show would be possible despite not having any restrictions at the moment. Her group had barely debuted and exploded in popularity. Was it even worth it for her to participate in his show?

He wasn't shocked to find out her schedule couldn't accommodate for her to be able to take a day off to shoot an episode. The staff had promised to search for another guest and not worry about it, but he arrived on set and was informed that the guest was running late. He didn't understand the need for mystery, or the dramatics for the reveal. Was he being pranked? Or, was the guest a flake? He tried his hardest to not be visibly annoyed, glancing at the camera when he received the instructions in his ear to start.

Let's take this opportunity to test the cameras, yeah? His producer voices out in a cheery voice, too eerily similar to when he had something up his sleeve. He should have seen it coming, but he was too preoccupied by the staff behind the camera staring intently at him, waiting for him to start.

"Oh, have you been there all this time?" He begins with a toothy smile, stepping closer to the camera with his typical friendly disposition. "Are you prepared to be entertained? I'd say grab a snack, but no, I need you standing and dancing along with me and my special guest..." His voice trails off, focusing on the cue-cards suddenly presented by an intern. "Today will work differently for you and I. Our special guest has finally arrived to the building. Will you help me guess our guest's identity?"

Huh.

At this rate, Kim Hyuncheol's appearance was more believable than his bestfriend.

【✖】 LEGACY HALL BATTLE — EPISODE 001

Somehow, his show had been green-lit and his vision had been executed to the minute detail. He hadn't doubted that the production team would pull through for him, but he felt even more responsible to deliver the best first episode that he possibly could for the sake of the team and his first guest. He had lucked out that Hayun had been willing to appear on his first episode. He didn't have to worry about whether or not their personalities would be incompatible and could focus on preparing for his talking points. In fact, he was counting on Hayun to reel him back if he teetered into hyperactive territory, but wasn't he supposed to be the one in control?

The camera starts recording a seemingly empty office space, leather chair facing the wall rather than tucked underneath the desk. He swivels the chair to face the camera, holding a neon green megaphone in his hand with the letters "LHB" inscribed in purple. He lifts the bill of his baseball cap with the rim of the megaphone's horn, cheeky smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"Welcome." Noeul greets the camera, rising from the chair to maneuver around the table and casually sit upon the edge of the desk. He had preemptively directed his friend to act as she normally would, but there was no knowing how his 'surprise attack' would go. "You're tuning into Legacy Hall Battle's first episode. I'll be your host, Han Noeul. Grab a snack while I find our first guest and prepare for your facial muscles to have a work out today."

He doesn't have to travel far, barely four rooms away to find his friend in a practice room. He turns to the camera, leaning closer to whisper before turning the knob to open the door before entering with the production team and camera crew. "Here we have our first guest, Lee Hayun!" He lifts the megaphone only to speak into it when he states her name, playfully offering the megaphone to the girl only to retrieve it. "Will you please do us the honor and introduce yourself?"
