Yuuki was in the rooftop together with Koizumi, she said she would give him ramen. He was quite curious what kind of ramen it was. It was quite cold outside, eating warm ramen would be really good."Pineapple flavor salt ramen with fruit chunks?" Yuuki was dumbfounded by the ramen, he was both excited and curious at the same time.
"Yeah, I get it during my time to Iwate," Koizumi said.
"Sorry, I can"t come with you, that day, I was in the tournament," Yuuki remembered Koizumi invited him.
"Don"t worry about it, we can make another appointment later," Koizumi said while pouring hot water on the cup ramen.
"Sure, where will you go?" Yuuki asked.
"Osaka," Koizumi said.
"Osaka, hmm, interesting, sure, when you go there invite me," Yuuki smiled.
"Sure," Koizumi said while giving him his ramen.
"Thanks" Koizumi nodded in response and both of them started to eat at the same time.
Yuuki slurped his ramen and surprised, he didn"t expect this pineapple ramen would be this good. He remembered "pen pineapple apple pen", it had both sweet, savory, and umami taste. It was so flavorful and he ate it happily.
Koizumi glanced at him and nodded, she felt eating ramen together with someone making it tastier. She was quite disappointed when Yuuki couldn"t come to her invitation for ramen trip with her, but, now, he had promised her to come with her to Osaka later, she was excited and ate her ramen faster.
They ate very fast and didn"t notice someone was entering the rooftop.
"Did you always eat here?" They heard a girl"s voice and turned their heads. They looked at the spectacle girl with long hair.
Yuuki knew she was one of the characters from "Ramen Daisuki no Koizumi-san", her name was Jun Takahashi.
Jun is the student representative of Koizumi"s, YĆ«"s and Misa"s cla.s.s who is very fastidious about her status. While she likes ramen, she has ceased consuming it in public after her gla.s.ses once fogged up while she ate some in the school cafeteria, until Koizumi manages to rekindle that lost delight.
"It"s quite cold here, why don"t you eat inside? I"m sure Yuu"s waiting for you," Jun said.
"Yuu," Yuuki remembered the loud short haired girl who had always followed Koizumi around. She looked like a puppy who followed its owner, he chuckled when he thought about it.
"Is there something?" Jun didn"t expect for Yuuki to chuckle.
"Nothing, I just remember something funny when you talk about Yuu," Yuuki said.
Jun t.i.tled her head and nodded, she didn"t know much about Yuuki but almost all of her cla.s.smates always talking about him. She was curious what was the relationship between him and Koizumi.
"Sigh," Koizumi got a headache when she remembered about Yuu, "Well, I"m eating with Yuuki-senpai now, did you need something?"
"Yuuki-senpai," Yuuki felt his soul almost coming out when he heard Koizumi calling him "Yuuki-senpai", her sweet voice and her tone, it was almost cheating for her to call him "Yuuki-senpai". He looked at Koizumi, no, her lips, her lips were so beautiful maybe it was because she ate too much ramen and made it like that.
Both girls didn"t notice his strangeness and talked about the result of Koizumi"s exam.
Yuuki listened to them and realized that Koizumi let her exam completely blank, he raised his eyebrows but didn"t cut to their conversation, he listened quietly and wanted to laugh when he heard her reason.
Yuuki held his mouth and tried not to laugh but Koizumi noticed him and pouted.
Koizumi was pouting, "Hmph."
"Sorry, sorry, I didn"t expect you to fail your exam because of ramen," Yuuki tried to appease her.
Jun, who was watching their interaction, felt jealous. She thought that it was too early for her to have boys, but looking at their interaction made her heart uncomfortable.
"Ahem," Jun interrupted them, "well, if you have some trouble, you can discuss it with me," she adjusted her gla.s.ses and left them, she didn"t want to be here any longer, she didn"t know to be single would hurt this much. She needed to get a boyfriend, before she left she turned her head and looked at Yuuki for a while.
"Sigh," Jun hoped at least her boyfriend would have the same standard as Yuuki.
"Well, let"s continue to eat, it"ll get cold if we let it go for too long," Koizumi nodded in response, they ate until there was nothing left in the cup.
"Aaah," they said at the same time.
Koizumi really liked this kind of thing when you ate ramen with him, she felt her ramen was several times better. She wanted to eat ramen again with him.
"Ano, Yuuki-senpai," Koizumi said.
"Hmm? What"s wrong, Koizumi?" Yuuki asked gently.
Koizumi couldn"t say anything and kept looking at him.
Yuuki t.i.tled his head and waved his hand in front of her, "h.e.l.lo? Are you awake?"
Koizumi awoke and blushed, she didn"t expect his smile would be this dangerous for her, she took a deep breath and tried to calm herself, she didn"t think ramen all the day, she was a girl in p.u.b.erty, after all, she was curious about boy, especially, the boy in front of him.
"Are you free after school? There is another pineapple ramen near here," Koizumi was hoping that Yuuki would be able to come with her.
Yuuki wanted to give her a wry smile, he wanted to go with her, but he had promised with Tsubasa to come with her to publish her manga, "I"m sorry, Koizumi, even though, you"re invited me, but I"ve promised with someone after the school."
Koizumi seemed deflated and answered him plainly, "Is that so?"
Yuuki wanted to smash his head when he made her sad like that, "I can"t come today, but how about tomorrow? I"ll treat you with whatever ramen you want!" He hoped this would cheer her up.
"Sure, tomorrow, I"ll be waiting," Koizumi stood up and ran away from him.
Yuuki twitched his lips when he saw her running away, he shook his head, a girl in p.u.b.erty was the most troublesome.
