There are lots of different types of ramen in the world. There's bland ramen, where the amount of water can't be properly controlled. There's boiling salty ramen because the fire is too high. There's ramen that's bloated because it was overcooked. There's ramen that's undercooked because it just started boiling. Then, there's the cup of ramen that's eaten alone. What's important is not which type of ramen you eat. When you eat ramen, the most important thing is timing. At that moment, if your heart is boiling because of a certain someone, then that moment is the greatest moment. Other things don't really matter. Ramen just tastes the best when it's eaten at the moment it's boiling over.
