Chapter 54
Inside the train.
Kevin and Kevin were both seated in front of a short table, with the ever-energetic March 7th slurping down a bowl of noodles beside him.
March 7th leaned in, grinning. "Hey, Kevin, ever wonder why noodles always taste better when you steal a bite from someone else's bowl?"
Kevin raised an eyebrow. "You wouldn't dare do that..."
She smirked, eyes gleaming with mischief. "I think I would....!"
Before Kevin could react, March 7th expertly snatched a few strands of noodles with her chopsticks and stuffed them into her mouth. She made an exaggerated moan of satisfaction. "Mmm! Yup, definitely tastes better."
Kevin sighed dramatically, but the corners of his mouth twitched upward at March's action's. "You do realize we're eating the same noodles, right? From the same pot?"
March 7th waved a hand dismissively. "Doesn't matter. The forbidden bite always tastes the best. It's the thrill, Kevin. You should try it."
He rolled his eyes but, with a quick flick of his chopsticks, stole a bite from her bowl in retaliation.
March 7th gasped, clutching her chest as if wounded. "Betrayal! Kevin, I trusted you!"
Kevin chewed thoughtfully. "You're right. Tastes way better."
