 ❝I think the most beautiful thing you could ever experience is finding someone who wants your all. Even if your all is a mess.❞ - Nomoreus

 ♚I S A B E L L A♚  

I woke up from my late afternoon nap. Blindly searching between my sheets for my phone, I found it under my back. I was sleeping on it this whole time, I must've rolled on top of it during my nap. I grabbed my phone from under my body and looked at the time. It was almost 6:00 pm. Oh well, I slept for a while by the looks of it. 

I rubbed my eyes, slowly adjusting to the sunlight shining through into the room as the sun begins to set. I propped up onto my elbows, supporting myself, as I read through notifications I missed while I was asleep. 

I saw that Jason, my meme partner, tagged me in a couple of memes on Facebook and Instagram. I scrolled through the memes and laughed silently. I quickly replied back with a laughing emoji. Once I finished through my meme dosage of the day, my eyes scanned around my quiet dorm. 

Andrei wasn't in the room, he must've gone out. Now left alone in my room, it was very peaceful with the quiet ticking of the clock hung on the wall. I can imagine that clock will drive me mad if I don't change it. I made a mental note to go out and buy a silent wall clock. 

It is getting late, my hunger has come back, indicating it was time for dinner. I decide to not go out to eat for another meal as I already did for lunch. Trying to save money, I decide to do a little grocery shopping and make my own dinner instead. 

I grabbed my bag and quickly head out to the grocery store before it closes at 8:00 pm. I still had plenty of time to do my grocery shopping. My eyes wondered to Andrei's side of the room, wondering if he needed some groceries. I wouldn't mind getting them for him, killing two birds with one stone. I was about to message him when I realised we haven't exchanged any contact information. I make another mental note to ask for Andrei's contact information.

I arrived at the grocery store, it was a ten-minute walk from the dorm rooms. The dorm rooms were situated in a handy area, close to campus, transportations, and shops. I'm glad I chose this dorm complex, although I would be glad if I picked the correct preferred all-girls dorm rooms. 

The supermarket's blinding lights were in my face, it looked quite gloomy. Hardly anyone was here, it was a ghost town. I grabbed a basket and headed off to the fruit and vegetable section. I decided to make my favourite Korean dish tonight. Feeling a little homesick and missing my mother's cooking, I decide to make or attempt to at least, my mother's kimchi pork stew. 

I had the ingredients almost memorised by heart, once I grabbed all the ingredients I headed off to the self-checkout. My eyes widened at the price of kimchi they sold at this supermarket. Looking at the price made me miss having my mother's homemade kimchi so readily in the fridge. I wondered if Andrei would mind if I had kimchi in the fridge we share back in the dorm.
