Two days had passed since the earthquake and we still don't have news on where Raon and Jae are. Iseul was getting more anxious and scared with each passing minute. She already wanted to go and search for her best friend but it's not possible. I don't know how else I can help. The government is doing all that it can. All I can do now is make sure I give Iseul the support she needs. She can draw strength from me.

While I work on my album the whole day, I would yearn to go home to Iseul's apartment at the end of it. It's now becoming a routine to go straight to her after work, have dinner with them, play with Da-eun, then go home to my apartment where I will be reminded how lonely I am.

"Hi, Jungkook! You're early today?" Sungmi greeted me as she lets me in.

"Yeah, my brain cells are dying already. I need to stop or else..." I shook my head and looked around the house. "Where are Iseul and Da-eun?"

"Da-eun's taking a nap while I prepare for dinner. Iseul went down to the grocery store. She was mumbling about buying snacks and whatnot. You can go after her if you want. Though she left her phone here so I don't know how you'll find her." She answered, going back to the kitchen and began chopping again.

"Hmm, I'm gonna try to find her. I'll be out again, Sungmi!" I told her and headed out again.

I found out that there's only one grocery store down their building so it won't be that hard to look for her. I took my time going around the store and finally, I saw where the noodles were. I pulled up my mask and hoodie and slowly, I sneaked up on her.

"Boo!" I playfully screamed behind her and she jumped in surprise.

"Ya!" She spun around and saw me with my hands up in the air. "Aish, Jeon! What the fuck! You scared me!" She hit my chest, her face scrunched in annoyance.

"Surprise!" I laughed and pulled down my mask.

"Screw you, Jungkook!" She pushed me and turned around.

"I'm sorry, babe!" I chuckled. I put on my mask again and followed her.

"What are you even doing here? How did you find me?" She asked and continued looking through each cup noodle in the aisle.

"Sungmi told me you're here," I answered. "What are you buying?"

"Snacks. I want to binge eat." She replied.

"Then in that case, can I binge eat with you?" I asked her, picking up my choice of noodles.

"Well, you've been hanging out in my apartment every day so why are you still asking me that?" She looked like she was done choosing noodles. She walked faster out of the aisle and I just continued following her until we were face to face with the fridge where the drinks are.

"Alcohol?" I asked quietly.

"Do you want to join me later? Play games and drink?" She turned to look at me and gave me a small smile.
