Legendary Superstar-Chapter 120: Lunch

The Nonsense Game continued with each pair battling it out in quick rounds. In the end, Team A secured a 3-2 victory.

"Congratulations to Team A for winning the first game!" the PD announced, her voice cheerful.

"Yesss!" Ha-dong cheered, pumping his fist.

"We did it!" Yura clapped excitedly, high-fiving Minjae and Minsuk.

"Don't get too cocky. We're just warming up," Jaesung joked, flashing a grin at Team A.

"It's time for lunch now," the PD declared, causing all the members to cheer.

They just played 1 game and yet an hour had already passed.

"But since this is a variety show, you know it's not that easy, right?" However, the PD continued with a mischievous smile.

The cast groaned in playful frustration.

"Oh no, here we go," Taekwon muttered, already bracing himself.

"For lunch, you'll be working as a team again," the PD explained. "We've prepared a variety of dishes inside the house from rice and main dishes to soup and desserts. Your task is simple: each member will go in one by one and pick a dish to bring to your table."

"Sounds too easy," Minsuk said skeptically.

The PD's smile widened. "Ah, but here's the twist. No members from the same team can pick the same dish. If you do, it will be taken away, and you get nothing for that slot."

"What?" Jihoon's jaw dropped.

"Wait, so if Minjae and I both grab rice, we won't have rice at all?" Yura asked.

"Exactly." The PD nodded. "And you can't communicate with your teammates once the game starts. It's all about how well you understand each other's preferences and choices. Let's begin immediately."

The PD had a mischievous smile on her face.

With the crew's guidance, a member of each team stepped forward. They went inside the house and were surprised to see that there was really a table full of freshly cooked dishes.

Jaesung and Ha-dong looked at each other. Sine they were the first ones, they were not pressured to think of their choices.

Jaesung and Ha-dong exchanged playful glares before glancing at the table filled with delicious dishes.

"Good luck, Ha-dong--ssi," Jaesung said with a smirk.

"Luck? I don't need it hyung." Ha-dong shot back, already eyeing the biggest plate of rice on the table. He was the oldest, so he thought of bringing the rice since it was the most important food for them.

Meanwhile, Jaesung scanned the options before settling on a plate of grilled meat.

"Hyung, are you going to pick that? I know for sure that others will want that too," Ha-dong expressed his worries.

However, Jaesung stubbornly shook his head.

"That's why I'm getting this Ha-dong-ssi. Others will think that someone will get this meat, so they won't get it. This is all about mental battle." Jaesung confidently uttered, completely believing on himself.

Ha-dong just shook his head as he watched Jaesung get a plate full of meat. He already knew that it would be a disaster but since it wasn't his group, it's dfine

After the two were done getting some food, they proceeded to go deeper than the house. The cast took their plates first so that their choices wouldn't be revealed. Afterward, the crew guided them to the dining room, in which the production crew where able to set up two separate tables for the two teams.

The PD's mischievous grin hinted that things were only about to get more chaotic.

"Alright! Next pair—Minsuk and Taekwon, please step forward!" the PD called out.

The two approached the table of food with determination, their eyes scanning the selection carefully.

"Okay…" Minsuk analyzed the food on the table. He thought that since Ha-dong was the oldest on their team, then he would definitely get the rice. For a safer choice, he decided to go for the soup since it can go along with other dishes.

Taekwon, meanwhile, was caught in a dilemma. He wanted to grab something safe but also important. Then, his eyes landed at the grilled meat.

"I should get some meat for the team, shouldn't I?" Taekwon asked Minsuk who was watching him.

Minsuk chuckled.

"For sure Jaesung hyung picked that."

"Nah, he wouldn't." Taekwon shook his head.

Just like Jaesung and Ha-dong, they proceeded to go inside.

"Next pair! Minjae and Seojin!" the PD announced.

Minjae and Seojin stepped forward, both looking serious.

Minjae and Seojin stepped forward, both looking serious as they approached the table of food. The variety of dishes spread before them only added to the pressure.

"Alright, think…" Minjae muttered to himself. He knew Ha-dong would most likely pick rice and Minsuk would probably go for something safe. So, he decided to play it smart.

'Something filling but not too obvious.' His eyes landed on a plate of steamed fish.

"This should be fine. No one would rush for fish when there's meat and rice," Minjae reasoned, carefully picking up the plate.

Meanwhile, Seojin glanced at the table, feeling the weight of his team's expectations.

"Rice is probably taken. Meat is probably taken. Soup… maybe?" she pondered out loud, eyeing the pot of kimchi stew. But something about it felt risky, so she settled for a large plate of stir-fried vegetables instead.

"This will balance out our meal. I hope no one else picks this…" Seojin mumbled, taking the dish and heading toward inside.

"Alright! Next up—Yura, Hana, and Jihoon!" the PD announced cheerfully.

The final trio approached the table of food. As the only member left for Team A, Yura was given special permission to pick two dishes.

"Oh! Two dishes?," Yura laughed nervously.

"Be smart about it, Yura!" Minsuk called out from the other room, his voice muffled but still audible.

Yura nodded even though they wouldn't be able to see her. She quickly glanced at the choices in front of her.

"Okay… rice and soup must be taken…" She looked at the remaining options. "Let's get something filling and something sweet."

With that, Yura grabbed a plate of fried chicken and a platter of assorted fruit for dessert. Fe

Meanwhile, Hana and Jihoon exchanged looks.

"Guess we're the last ones. Should be easy, right?" Hana said, trying to sound optimistic.

"Yes uniie… if everyone before us wasn't greedy," Jihoon grumbled, eyeing the dishes suspiciously.

Hana shrugged and quickly went for something simple, a bowl of rice. She figured everyone must have gone for the main course, so it's just right for her to pick it.

Jihoon, on the other hand, grabbed the grilled meat as well.

"Do you think they already picked this, Unnie? Jihoon asked as he showed her the plate.

Even Hana was suspicious of it, knowing Jaesung and Taekwon's personality. However, they were having small talks earlier while the first game was playing and the two were saying that it must be nice to eat some hot soup since it's quite chilly today.

"I think they went for the soup, so yeah, you should settle with that." Hana uttered and the two of them proceeded inside too.

"Alright, everyone! Let's reveal your choices!"

As everyone settled down in the dining room, the PD's voice loudly rang out.

Both teams removed the cloths covering their dishes, and the results were revealed.

Team A's Table

Rice (Ha-dong)Soup (Minsuk)Steamed Fish (Minjae)Fried Chicken (Yura)Assorted Fruits (Yura)

The members of Team A cheered at their well-rounded selection.

"Yes! We did it!" Yura grinned, high-fiving her teammates.

"Nice strategy, Yura! Getting two dishes was a huge help," Ha-dong complimented.

"I just picked what I thought everyone wouldn't," Yura laughed, feeling relieved.

Team B's Table

Grilled Meat (Jaesung) (Disqualified)Grilled Meat (Taekwon) (Disqualified)Stir-fried Vegetables (Seojin)Rice (Hana) Grilled Meat (Jihoon) (Disqualified)

Team B stared at their table, their faces twisted in utter disbelief.

"We only got vegetables and rice?!" Jihoon's voice cracked, his expression one of absolute horror.

"Ah, no way!" Taekwon wailed, running his hands through his hair. "Jaesung-hyung, this is your fault!"

"Why are you blaming me? You picked the same dish I did!" Jaesung shot back, looking equally devastated.

"Yeah, but you're the one who said you wanted soup for today!" Taekwon protested. He was in misery since the grilled meat honestly looked good.

Jihoon groaned, slumping into his seat.

"Why did I even go for the grilled meat? I should've known…"

"Oh right! You picked meat too…" Jaesung stared at Jihoon, his eyes wide. "Three of us went for the same thing?!"

Hana blinked at her teammates, her voice small and cautious.

"Well… at least I brought rice?"

Jaesung dropped his head onto the table. "Rice and vegetables… That's all we have?"

Seojin was trying to keep a straight face, but his lips twitched as he struggled not to laugh. "Uh… at least it's a balanced meal? Healthy and all."

"Oh no. No protein, no flavor… just… misery," Jihoon sighed, dramatically resting his head on the table.

Team A couldn't hold back their laughter. Team B's reaction were too funny. From the start, they already had a clue that it would be chaos.

"Wow, that's… that's just tragic." Minsuk chuckled, wiping tears from his eyes as he laughed out loud.

Ha-dong was also laughing at the side.

"Mental battle, hyung? More like mental breakdown! You guys really went all out just to fail together."

"Teamwork makes the dream work, I guess," Yura giggled.
