Ramen: Minsung

1

Friday

Jisung walked into the convenience store near his apartment, going straight to the ramen isle. He chose a cheap one and a couple energy drinks, walking to the register. The cashier smiled at him, seeing him everyday. "College assignment or gaming tonight?" Jisung smiled back at her, "Late night gaming as always. A hacker, a gamer and a nerd. I have my priorities pretty straightened out I think." "Can't argue with that. Water and bowls are where they usually are." "Thanks." Jisung walked to the counter for ramen, first opening a can of an energy drink. He made his ramen, leaving the store, waving bye to the cashier as usual.

On the short walk to his house, he drank the rest of his energy drink. He arrived at his apartment, going right to his gaming chair. Playing a random online video game, eating ramen and drinking energy drinks was the typical way to start his day. A couple hours after playing video games, Jisung finally went to bed. When it was close to school, Jisung groggily woke, getting himself ready for school. Felix barged into his dorm room, shouting at him, "You up yet?! Huh, that's weird, you live in a dorm with two beds, but where's your roommate?" "Don't have one. The RA (Room Advisor) said I'd get one soon. Don't know who it is though, said something about a transfer from a small city."

Jisung finished getting ready, yawning every now and then. "How much sleep did you get this time?" "Bout three-ish hours." Felix rolled his eyes, patiently waiting for his best friend. When Jisung was dressed, the boys finally walked out for their class. "Today's classes are?" "Psychology, then Advanced Arts." Felix nodded, happily going to their classes. "Class, today we have a new student. He is from Gimpo, South Korea. Please introduce yourself honey." "Hello, I'm Lee Minho. Please treat me well, thank you." "Alright. You will sit next to Suengmin, Seungmin raise your hand."

Jisung stared at the mysterious boy, but put his head down, going back to sleep. The teacher spoke up, Jisung not really noticing until he heard the word quiz. His head shot up, groaning at the word. After his classes were over, his friend Suengmin pulled him over, asking him to hack into the school site to find their grades. "Suengie, I always do this for you and the rest and every time, you guys pass either barely or more than normal." Suengmin gave Jisung puppy eyes, which Jisung couldn't resist. "Fine, come to my room after class." Suengmin told Jisung a good time for him, Jisung agreeing half heartedly.

'Hacking into a school site. Stupid.' Minho whispered to himself, not expecting anyone to hear. "Bet you can't do it." Jisung mumbled to himself, Minho hearing but just walking away. Felix came up to Jisung, whispering to him, "He looks mean. Do you have to be a smartass all the time?" "Yes, it's a part of my character. And he doesn't seem mean, a little quiet, definitely a tough guy act though." "Did you hear he was a transfer? Maybe?" "Unlikely. Let's go before we're late." Jisung and Felix walked through the halls, Chan, stopping them on the way. When they all arrived in their next class, they saw the new boy there as well. "How many classes does this guy have with us?"

Jisung whispered, causing Felix to shrug, "Maybe he's the same major as us?" "Same elective to, seriously?" Felix shrugged again, paying more attention to Chan. Jisung pulled out his phone, starting to play battle games on it. After class, Jisung practically ran back to his dorm, taking his shoes off first, then going straight to his games. He timed himself for a while, before going to his next class. "Did you eat?" Hyunjin found him, asking politely. "If I say I didn't?" "I will hit you, then give you this." Hyunjin gave him ramen, Jisung happily accepting. "Meet the new kid?" "Yeah, he's in my Psychology and my Arts class."

The two walked to their class, some of their other friends joining behind. During the class, Minho walked in, looking a little lost. "E-excuse me. I think I'm supposed to be in here, but I'm a little lost." The teacher told him where to sit, letting Jisung go back to sleep. After class, Jisung got a snack from the vending machine, going back to his room, starting to hack the school site. "What did I get?" Jisung jumped a little at Suengmin's unexpected arrival. "We need to get you a bell. Don't do that! Anyway, you got a C-. Anyone else's grade you want to know?" "Just the rest of the groups." Jisung rolled his eyes, writing down the grades on a sticky note, giving it to Seungmin.
