Ramen Buddies [BTS fanfic]

 "I really thought you'd be with Taehyung going to that new coffee shop." Kyuri said before stuffing her mouth with noodles.

 Chaeyoung shook her head while she does the same as Kyuri.

 Jimin swallowed and lowered his noodles. "She prefers hanging out with me now." He stated as if Chaeyoung told her it was true.

 Kyuri gulped her water. "Really?" She replied sounding interested. She gave Chaeyoung a curious and also mocking look.

 "He paid for my noodles." Chaeyoung responded considering it as one valid reason that she prefers hanging out with Jimin. It was always the reason. "How was practice by the way?" She asked Kyuri and J-hope.

 "It was fine. I'm kinda thinking of giving up the competition." Kyuri opened up to her trusted friends. She knew to herself that she'd push through the competition. All she needed was them to convince her a little more. Seems like J-hope did a great job sprinkling and sharing his happy boy personality.

 Silence took over after a few seconds.

 "Kyuri, if you give up now you'll regret it for the rest of your life." Jimin told her sternly.

 Kyuri frowned. He was right. But she was afraid.

 "I know but I'm just... Scared to lose, okay? That's it." Kyuri finally admitted it openly to her friends.

 "Awe. Kyuri, if you lose it's okay. Try again. That's what life is. Lose,lose,lose then try again." Jimin put a comforting hand on her shoulder.

 “You keep on saying that because you’re so used to losing.” Chaeyoung said nonchalantly while eating her noodles.

 "Hey! You've been eating too much instant noodles." Jimin tried to pinch Chaeyoung’s cheeks but she tried to bite his fingers.

“All we’re trying to say here is that no matter what the result is going to be either you win or you lose there will be always a new opportunity out there. So just keep on dancing.” J-Hope flashed his big smile of his.

 Kyuri smiled at the sight that her friends were showing how much they want to be in that competition. She was speechless of what he said.

 “Awe. Thanks, Hobi.” She looked down so that they wouldn’t see her blushing.

 “Well, I’m your hope.” He responded.

 “You’re everybody’s hope.” Chaeyoung added.

 “J-Hope!” Jimin cheered. “Kim Kyuri you can make it!”

 Afterwards, they put their empty cup noodles inside a plastic bag and then they just left. They felt at ease now that no walls between them. Their friendship was slowly being built as a strong bridge.

 The bell rang noisily. Hyesu stepped out of her class along with the swarm of people in the hallway. As she got herself enough space she fixed her uniform and kept on walking until her shoulder hit another shoulder.

 She muttered an apology and went on. She felt pain on her shoulder due to the incident.

 "Hey! Aren't you gonna apologize?" The guy whom she bumped shoulders with said.
