The Cheerful Ramen Shop

"No! No! No!", I mumbled as I ran down the stairs. There's 3 things you should know right now, 1) It's been 3 days since the coffee meet-up with Joshua and we've been messaging each other on and off, 2) I'm running late for work the second time this week and 3) I'm in the subway and I really need to go.

I slide my subway card on the key pad of the gate. 'Um, the Incheon Station? Where is it?', I thought to myself as my eyes run through the list of stations in front of me. 'Got you!', I thought to myself as I spotted my station, continuing my run to my work place. I went down the escalator and ran down the platform, reading the small billboard above the platform stating that the train is delayed for 5 minutes.

I let out a deep, well deserved breath for my run. 'Well, at least I got some exercise this week', I thought to myself. I plumped myself down on a seat between a man talking loudly on his phone and a little girl licking her ice cream. I pull out my phone to quickly text one of my co-workers that I would be late a bit.. okay, maybe a lot. After a few seconds, I heard a beep coming from my phone and opened the new message: 'Yeah, be quick tho. The devil hasn't arrived yet'.

I put in my earphones and played the same playlist I've played all week. I closed my eyes while nodding to Ah Yeah.

"Seungcheol-hyung! Jisoo-hyung! Wait up, I'm tying my shoes".

"Hurry up, slowpoke! We're going to be late".

"Ah-" CRASH

My eyes slowly opened itself because of all of the noise. In front of me, there was a guy with greenish/black hair on the floor, tying his shoe. There was another black-haired guy on the floor, I guess he's the one that fell, and an orang-haired guy who's helping him up. Also, one of those electric skateboard near them. I pieced the 3 situations together and came up with the final result; the guy who's tying his shoe was just casually tying his shoe while the orange-haired guy was running in front of him, alongside with the other black-haired guy who was riding the skateboard. The one on the skateboard, fell and made the loud noise. 'Aha!', I thought to myself, finally figuring out the situation.

But, wait.. did that guy who was tying his shoes said, 'Jisoo-hyung'?

I quickly looked at the orange-haired guy who was with the other 2 guys. "Jisoo! I mean, Joshua!", I called out before my brain could clearly process. Joshua looked up, confused at first but quickly changed to happy. "Eun Bae-shii!", he called out. I waved at him and went towards Joshua and the other 2. "Yah! I told you to call me 'Noona', there's no need for being formal", I reminded him. His cheeks went a little red and nodded. I looked to the 2 other guys beside him who were confused, I cleared my throat to grab Joshua's attention. "Oh! I forgot to introduce you guys! N-Noona, this is Choi Seungcheol, also known as S.Coups. This is Channie, or Lee Chan or Dino, whichever. Guys, this is the beautiful lady, I told you guys about that ran out of the cafe, Park Eun Bae", Joshua introduced the guys and I to each other.

"Annyeong~", I greeted Seungcheol, "Omo!". Something clicked inside of me, "Y-You're the guy! The Hazel Brown eyes!", I pointed at him. He was confused at first but shock washed over his face, "Y-You're the crying ahjumma!". "Crying ahjumma?", 2 voices said beside him. I looked beside him to see Joshua with a confused expression and the cutest, most precious looking boy. It's the guy with greenish/black hair! I let out a fangirl cry and squeezed the guy's cheeks. "You're so cute! Ah, ninja kyeopta!", I continued to torment the guy younger than me. Joshua and Seungcheol watched beside me in shock. "Er, Noona. I think you should stop torturing Channie", Joshua mumbled beside me, pointing at his friend's face. I looked at where he was pointing at, Channie's eyes started to water but he didn't say anything. I quickly let go, "Omo! I'm so sorry, I just fall head over heels with cute girls and boys", I explained. "H-Hyung, it hurts", Channie stuttered out. His cheeks were blood-red, there were tears threatening to fall. Joshua quickly went by his side and comfort him. "I'm so sorry, Channie. I'm so sorry!", I apologized when I saw him in pain. "S.Coups-hyung, could you please take Eun Bae-noona somewhere, I need to help Channie here", Joshua said to the both of us while he whispered sweet-nothings to Channie. "Let's go", I felt a sudden contact on my arm. I looked down, Seungcheol's hand was around my arm, dragging me away from Joshua and the teary guy.
