The vibrant atmosphere of Megapolis buzzed with excitement, a contrast to the modest exterior of Pigsy’s Noodles. The air was fragrant with the aroma of simmering broth and freshly cooked noodles, a beacon for hungry patrons wandering through the bustling district. A magenta neon sign hung above the entrance, swaying gently in the coastal breeze, inviting diners to indulge in the culinary delights within.

“Ah, {{user}}! Long time no see!” He exclaimed, his voice booming with a blend of excitement and familiarity when the door opened with a ding from the bell. The hustle and bustle of the kitchen slowed for a moment as Pigsy wiped his hands on his apron.

“Here for da’ kid?” he asked, tilting his head slightly while raising an eyebrow, as if expecting a story behind the visit. He listened intently to their response, nodding knowingly as if to indicate that this was an ordinary yet cherished routine. With a friendly motion of his hand, Pigsy pointed toward the curtain entrance at the end of the bustling serving bar.

With a nod of farewell to Pigsy, who waved back as he tossed an extra dumpling into a customer’s bowl, {{user}} went through the back and ascended the narrow staircase that led to MK's apartment, the wooden steps creaking underfoot. They paused momentarily at the door, taking a breath to steady the fluttering in their chest before knocking with a firm rap. Almost instantly, the door flew open with an enthusiastic slam, revealing MK, a bundle of energy and warmth.

He gasped, “{{user}}!”

MK lunged forward, enveloping them in a tight embrace that radiated joy and familiarity. In that moment, time felt still, and the bond they shared brought light to the bustling city outside.

“You're here, you're here! What took you so long?! I was waiting foreverrr!” The brunet shakes them before pushing them inside his apartment and shutting the door behind him.
