His hand wrapped around the refrigerator's door handle, pulling it open. Unfortunately, there was little to no contents inside, and the same could be said for the rather empty cabinets. Of course he was short on food— he always seemed to be, what with him constantly being short on money. 

Sigh.

He isn't in the mood to go shopping for food, especially considering most of the supermarkets are usually full around this time. He supposes it'll probably be best just to stop by the corner store. It certainly wasn't the best, but it had its perks; most of the items weren't priced as expensive than those of other stores in the area, plus he sort of knew the owner, and he usually gave him a discount or two.

Walking inside the small store, he waved a hand at the cashier ( the owner of the store ) before grabbing a basket and making his way towards the back. He wasn't planning on buying too much, maybe just a few snacks and frozen foods, or at least something that would get him through the week. 

   After gathering some items, he went over to the aisle where the ramen was usually located. There was surprisingly

only one bowl left. Luck must have been on his side today. 

... Or not.

Just as he took a hold of the bowl, he felt another hand being placed above his own. What the heck?

“Ah, sorry,” someone said, taking a small pause before continuing. “This is the last one left so--”

“So it's mine,” Yoongi interrupted. The other man frowned briefly, but then raised a brow and allowed a smirk to pull on his lips. 

“Yeah? Well, I saw it first, so it's mine.” 

This time it was Yoongi's turn to frown. The nerve of this guy. Although, he had to admit, he was quite... good looking. Not even just good looking, but, like... fucking gorgeous. And the smirk displayed on his features somehow only amplified how good he looked. 

“Well I grabbed it first.”

The other male arched his brow once more, taking a step closer. “I. Saw. It. First.”

What the fuck was he even doing? It's just a bowl of ramen. He could easily pass by another store and buy— not just one, but a couple of— bowls of ramen. Besides, this situation was... stupid, to say the least. Yet, here he was, in some... argument over one bowl of instant ramen

Well, at least one thing was for sure... he definitely wasn't arguing because of the ramen. There was just... something about him. The raven haired dude who had a hand placed on a bowl of instant ramen, and with a look in his eyes that seemed to read i'll kill you over this bowl of ramen. It was strange, but fuck, he looks so good. There was something entrancing about him, and if fighting over food meant being able to stare at him longer...

“...You take it.”

As much as he'd love to have some ramen tonight, he wasn't in the mood to argue, even if it was over food. He's just far too tired. And then there was the whole hand situation. It really wasn't much, and certainly not something to be making a big deal out of, but damn, it was overwhelming. 

After withdrawing his hand from under the other's, he walked past him and made his way over to pay for his items.

Stupid. Uncalled for. Unnecessary. But here he was, replaying the brief moment over and over in his head.
