I waited outside the bike shop while Sano-kun tidy some things inside. I sometimes glance at the shop beside it, knowing my Father's there. I hope he doesn't mind me taking too long to go back.

Sano-kun lastly taped a paper on the door of the shop. Staff is on break it says. He put on a different shirt, a clean one. He smiled at me, his quite shaky hand fixing his hair that's styled up.

"Where exactly are you going to take me?" I asked him while we walk side by side.

Sano-kun has this confident and proud look on his face as he glanced at me. "I'll take you to the most famous and delicious ramen house here in Tokyo!" He stated excitedly like some advertisement humanoid.

A chuckle left my lips, suddenly getting curious about this ramen house he's saying. He never really fails to put a smile on my lips. Sano-kun continued on advertising, I mean telling me stories about this so called best ramen house, leaving me more and more curious as we get closer and closer to the destination.

"And here we are!" Sano-kun opened his arms wide, wiggling his fingers, pointed to the humble establishment in front of us.

"Oh..." I murmurred, forcing a smile to stay on my lips.

What is with all the curiosity build up just to be given something like this in the end? An old, really old, ramen house stood in front of us. It is sandwiched between two really well-known fastfood chain so obviously no one is paying attention to this old building.

The light on the sign is barely even on, making it look like an abandoned building. If it wasn't for the lively plants and flowers on one side of the building it would be totally mistaken for a horror movie set.

"I know this place isn't the prettiest on the outside but I swear this is the best place you could eat a ramen." I turned to Sano-kun and found him already looking at me. He really has this please-believe-in-me look that just makes me feel horrible for thinking that this place is a horror movie set.

I nod my head, deciding to trust him, as he lead the way inside. Once we got in the shabby establishment I was immediately welcomed by the warm, literally, and cozy environment. It was empty but I can feel the warmness of the ramen they serve, not in a bad way though. For some reason, it feels like home.

Sano-kun left my side, catching my attention. I followed him with my eyes as he approach the counter, sitting at one of the stools there. Across from him stood a girl, who I think works in this ramen house.
