Stand Up! - F[x]
"Alright, boys, humor me." I jokingly taunted EXO-K as I stood in front of them inside the kitchen come next morning. They all had shy expressions on their faces, but had a certain level of courage in them. Baekhyun-sshi released a nervous sigh, surprisingly making Kai-sshi huff a breath, too. I guess they're that nervous today.
"Show me that you've learned something from my lesson yesterday."
At this, one by one, the necessary ingredients for cooking ramen and frying sausage omelette appeared on the kitchen counters. The boys were all busy as they prepared the whole kitchen for something that seemed so life-changing, at least to them. Not long after, the boys began dispersing from the kitchen, leaving Suho-sshi to chop the sausages, Kai-sshi to beat the eggs, Baekhyun-sshi to boil the water, and D.O.-sshi to heat up the cooking oil.

Shirin only gave out a soft "Hmmmm...." as she continued to eat, not giving anything away by how poker-faced she was. This unsettled them even more, that Sehun began puffing his cheek up and releasing the air in an almost inaudible 'whoosh'.
"Well...?" Chanyeol asked worriedly asked as he himself wanted to taste the food and see if they failed or did miserably. When the girl had swallowed and opened to speak, everyone was on the edge of their seats.
"Uhm, I think there should be JUST a little more salt on the omelette next time, but it's not bad overall. The ramen is nice, too."
The next moment, Shirin jumped on her seat in surprise as loud cries and cheers began echoing inside the house. Aliens danced around happily and shouted their relief to their hearts' content at the response from the Earthling. Even
