SIDE STORY: The Great Cooking Catastrophe 🍳🔥😂
With the world finally safe, the Seven Guardians decided to celebrate with a massive feast at the Mount of Silence. But there was one catch: no using powers allowed.
🥗 Chaos in the Kitchen
Ryun was appointed Head Chef, but his 'Void' eye was currently busy watering while he chopped onions.
Kael (⚡): "Ryun, why don't you just chop those at lightning speed? We're starving!"
Ryun: "Shut up, Kael! It's hard to use a knife without powers. And why did you crush the potatoes instead of peeling them?"
Kael: "Well... I thought a little 'pressure' would get the job done faster."
🥩 The Minho & Seiya Duo
Minho was responsible for bringing fresh vegetables for the salad.
Minho (🌿): "I grew these tomatoes without any powers... okay, maybe I gave them a tiny 'growth boost,' but no one will notice."
Seiya (🌊): "Minho, why are these tomatoes the size of footballs?"
Just then, Yuna (❄️) arrived and tried to chill the drinks. Out of habit, she cooled the glass so much that it froze solid to the table.
Yuna: "Oops! My hand slipped."
🍖 Gojung and the 'Perfect' BBQ
Gojung sat silently in the corner, grilling meat. He looked dead serious, as if he were on a top-secret mission.
Akira (🍃): "Gojung-hyung, are you... talking to the meat?"
Gojung (🌑): "I am staring it down... so it doesn't dare to burn."
Suddenly, a flare-up happened. Ryun grabbed a pitcher of water to douse the flames, but his foot slipped, and he splashed the entire thing onto Kael.
Kael: "Great. Now I'm actually going to short-circuit!"
❤️ Mei-Lin's Magic
Finally, when the food was served—slightly charred, with oversized salad—Mei-Lin (✨) looked around and saw a genuine smile on every face.
Mei-Lin: "Maybe we're great at saving the world, but in the kitchen, we're still total noobs."
Everyone burst into laughter. Ryun raised his glass.
Ryun: "The seven of us are enough to save the world, but to make a decent dinner, we definitely need more training!"
🌪️ Final Narration
"On the battlefield, they were warriors. But at home, they were just a family. Without magic swords or divine powers, they found what was most precious—a simple moment spent together." ✨🏡
