K-pop Oneshots (mostly NCT)

I'm calling Gordon Ramsay - Marksung (RSAG)

Title inspiration: MARK - Golden Hour

"Welcome to NCT Cooking show also known as Neo Cooking Technology! I am MC Jungwoo and this is our cooking show!" Jungwoo exclaimed. "The chefs of the show is Mark and Jisung! The speciality Mark and Jisung will cook will be eggs, waffles, toast and tteokbokki!" Jungwoo added.

Jisung's heart was racing, he has rarely cooked in the kitchen and when he did cook, he failed at making tteokbokki and eggs. Meanwhile, Mark is known for not knowing how to cook for the life of him, ruining everything he touches in the kitchen. So this show is going to be interesting.

"We also have our assistants Renjun and Xiaojun, and taste testers Taeyong and Jeno!" Jungwoo added. "Chefs, you may now introduce yourselves" Jungwoo stated. "I am Mark Lee, I am your personal chef" Mark introduced himself. The crowd laughed. "Okay then personal chef, how about you?" Jungwoo handed the microphone to Jisung. "I'm Park Jisung, the talented maknae who knows his way in the kitchen!" Jisung exclaimed. The crowd laughed even more. "So chefs, you are going to make eggs, waffles, toast and tteokbokki today. You have a time limit of 90 minutes. If you make a mess and don't clean up, you lose points. The points are scored based on presentation, aroma, taste, cleanliness and time efficiency" Jungwoo announced. "Before you start cooking, you may navigate yourselves around the kitchen and choose an area to cook. Once you do so, the timer begins" Jungwoo instructed.

Jisung and Mark made their way around the Neo Kitchen, looking for an area to work until they found a space close to the ingredients. "You may start cooking and grabbing what you need. Timer starts now!" Jungwoo announced. Jisung went to the ingredients area and grabbed the ingredients basket to grab the necessities used to make tteokbokki, waffles, eggs and toast. Mark did the same, making sure to not forget seasoning as well.

Once Jisung and Mark grabbed their supplies, the first round was to make toast, which was the easiest round. Jisung sliced some bread before putting it in the toaster. Mark did the same, making sure the toaster was set properly. Jisung then started to put some things away only to somehow knock the flour needed to make waffles. Meanwhile, when Mark was organising his things, he somehow broke an egg. The toasters dinged and both toasts came out burnt. Jisung managed to clean up his flour spill before serving his burnt toast with butter to the judges, the toast round was ending soon. Mark was cleaning up the broken egg mess before plating his burnt toast with butter.

The first taste test begins. Taeyong looked at the toast; burnt to a crisp, burnt smell, okay time efficiency and poor cleanliness due to the clumsiness. Jeno does the same, his toast looking even more burnt, smelling like ashes, okay time efficiency and poor cleanliness again. Taeyong and Jeno spread the butter on the toast before tasting the creation. They first tasted Jisung's toast, the slightly less burnt one. It was somehow edible but not great. Renjun hands both taste testers a drink. Taeyong takes a sip and is glad that the burnt taste is not as potent. Jeno took a bigger sip. Renjun made a worried face. Oh dear....he hopes it's not the wrong drink

Then they both tried Mark's toast, Taeyong made a sour face and Jeno nearly gagged. The taste tasters wrote a score.

The next round was eggs, Mark's favourite (more like arch nemesis). Jisung heated up the pan and puts a bit of oil on it, waiting for it to heat up slightly before putting the eggs in. Making sure the heat was at medium, Jisung watched the eggs tentatively, He has to outdo Mark for sure. Mark on the other hand, heated up the pan to highest setting, poured too much oil and somehow got eggshell in the eggs. The kitchen started to smell like smoke. Xiaojun ran into the kitchen with a fire extinguisher in hand and made a concerned face when faced with the situation infront of him. Xiaojun watched in horror. Mark shrugged. It will be fine...he can salvage it...
