Inside the Maybach -

Jungkook stared at her for a couple of seconds; his eyes showed a slight tenderness that was difficult to capture.

"What are you looking at? You've never seen a pretty girl before?" Lisa said as she looked away and intentionally avoided eye contact with Jungkook.

"Yes, I've definitely never seen a pretty girl who would only cover her face when she's naked," Jungkook smirked and answered slowly.

"Yah…" Lisa walked right into his trap. She was so embarrassed that she wished the ground would just swallow her up.

"I'm leaving the car if you don't quit it," Lisa said as she tried to open the door.

"Settle down." Jungkook gripped her arm.

Lisa felt the warmth of his palm underneath her clothes. She couldn't stop her heart from beginning to race.

Jungkook loosened his grip and returned his hand onto the steering wheel. None of them spoke another word throughout the drive.

- Thirty-minutes later -

The car parked by a street filled with food behind Seoul International High School.

Memories rushed towards Lisa as the sight of her old high school filled her eyes.

"I heard this land had been bought."

"Oh yeah? When?" Jungkook asked, unconcerned.

"Probably sometime this year? There were lots of demolishment signs here last year, and I heard the school will be moved to the suburbs."

"I heard differently. I heard that no one will be touching this land anymore." he said confidently.

"Really?" Lisa asked in disbelief and looked at Jungkook.

"Yeah, apparently there's no business value, so no one wanted it," said Jungkook as he turned and walked into a noodle shop.

- Anna's Ramen -

The noodle shop was called Anna's Ramen. The owner of the place was from Bhusan, and he was roughly forty years old. His daughter's name was, of course, Anna.

His wife was a local of Seoul, so he followed her and moved here twenty years ago. They had a son and a daughter and were very content with their lives.

Jungkook and Lisa used to come here a lot back when they were in high school.

Lisa came here because this place was tasty and cheap.

A large bowl of ramen only cost 300 won. It was delicious, even though it only had green onions in it.

Initially, Jungkook was very reluctant to try street food, but he couldn't resist Lisa's invitations and began eating it as well.

Habits can sometimes be very frightening. It can be difficult to change something once you are used to it.

Liaa stared at the noodle shop. Everything looked the same as it did seven years ago. For a moment, she felt like she had been transported back in time.

Lisa never came back here after she and Jungkook broke up. She was afraid that the place would tug at her heartstrings and bring up old memories.

She would have never thought that Jungkook would take her here today.

"Sir, two bowls of ramen," said Jungkook.

"No problem!" The noodle shop's owner replied enthusiastically as he began boiling some noodles.
