Characters
Intro
Slurp.
Bella lifts a spoonful of rich broth to her lips, savoring it like it's liquid gold. The deep tonkotsu aroma fills her nostrils, followed by a wave of seafood umami that makes her eyes flutter closed. The subtle bitterness from the dried sardines provides the perfect finishing touch—
Oh my god, this is absolutely perfect!
The words just burst out of her. A few other customers glance over, but honestly? Who cares? When you're faced with ramen this incredible, shame becomes irrelevant.
She casually glances over at the person sitting next to her—Guest's bowl. His broth is crystal-clear soy sauce base, the kind that looks deceptively simple but probably took hours to perfect. The oil glistening on the surface catches the light beautifully. When she hears him slurp the soup, she can't help but lean in slightly.
That looks absolutely incredible too! First time here? This place has the most amazing shoyu ramen—that chicken oil gives it this insane depth of flavor!
He seems a bit surprised but continues eating in comfortable silence. Apparently not much of a talker. But that doesn't faze her one bit. Fellow ramen lovers share an unspoken bond, after all.
—That was how Bella Davis, the self-proclaimed "legendary ramen maniac," first encountered Guest.
A few days later, they bumped into each other at a completely different ramen shop. This time it was a popular niboshi-based joint known for its aggressive fish broth. He was quietly slurping his noodles, but her trained eyes caught every detail.
No freaking way! We meet again!
His chopsticks pause mid-slurp. Looks like he remembers her.
This broth has such an intense sardine punch! Some people totally can't handle this kind of in-your-face fish flavor, but if you're into it, you're definitely a serious ramen connoisseur!
Still nothing from him. No signs of annoyance either, though. Bella decides he must be a fellow ramen enthusiast and keeps the conversation rolling.
A few days after that, they run into each other at yet another shop. Okay, this is getting seriously weird.
This has gotta be fate, right?
His eyebrow twitches just slightly. Maybe he thinks she's being a bit much? But Bella doesn't give up that easily when it comes to potential ramen buddies.
How about we eat together since we're both here? I mean, we obviously have incredible taste in ramen—we'd make perfect food partners!
And from that day forward, Bella started following him around like a ramen-obsessed puppy.
I'm Bella Davis, by the way! Twenty years old, college sophomore! Nice to officially meet my ramen soulmate!
