Park Eunbyul awed in silence as they entered the cooking studio. Everyone greeted the staff, raising their brows in surprise once they saw the board.
The Idol Ramyeonators Ramen Tournament; Jjajang (Black Bean Sauce) Ramen.
"Tell the viewers why you're doing this," Producer Na prompted. "In case they don't know."
"We received ramen recipes for the live show," Hyunsuk spoke, speaking on behalf of the others. "I heard we received over 40,000 recipes."
"40,000? Hyung, is that right?"
"Math was never Hyunsuk-oppa's strongest suit."
Ignoring the comments the younger members made, Hyunsuk continued, causing the others to stifle their laughs. "Didn't we? Why do I know it as 40,000?" He shrugged. "Well, anyway, we were grateful, and we didn't want to waste them. So, we'll decide the best ramen through a tournament."
Jihoon and Eunbyul cheered, nodding along as their oldest member did all the talking. Being the other extrovert, Jihoon soon joined, talking about their Nongshim sponsorship as he showed off the stack of Chapagetti ramen.
"The mission is to find your own way to enjoy Chapagetti. The recipes MZ Generation would love," Producer Na said. "The 8 recipes here also include yours, but don't show it."
Eunbyul took a seat on the chair behind the counters, checking the monitor to adjust herself. "Does it feel weird to not be making anything today?" Producer Na asked, laughing at how awkward the youngest look. "You've had a good rep since Episode 0, so we thought it'd be okay to let you relax this one."
"Me relax? With these two around? Let's hope I can."
ROUND ONE — SOYA CHAPAGETTI & PERFORMANCE CHAPAGETTI
The boys stood in front of the board, revealing the first two recipes they'd be trying out. Jihoon got the 'Soya Chapagetti' while Hyunsuk got the 'Performance Chapagetti'. 
"Soya? Like soya beans?" Hyunsuk checked, finding the name odd. "No, like sausage and veggies," Jihoon corrected.
"The Performance Chapagetti recipe is like a novel. And the Soya Chapagetti recipe is like a poem," Eunbyul stated, seeing the screenshots of the recipe comments. 
The TREASURE members fell into silence as the leaders prepped the ingredients for their ramen recipes. It wasn't long before the silence was broken with the various questions Hyunsuk had. Eunbyul stepped down from her chair as she opted to help the elder.
"Can I put flakes too? And how long do I heat the oil for?" Hyunsuk inquired. "How much garlic? Because the amount I'm thinking might be too much or even too less."
"Follow your instincts," Eunbyul replied, chuckling as the oldest of TREASURE looked distressed. "Cooking is about the feels, not the measurements. Embrace the Asian in you and get things done."
Jihoon laughed, nodding along. "Hyung, you can't always rely on having measurements. Byulie is amazing at eye-balling the ingredients and she's only 80% Asian," she explained.
