Jimin was absent for two days already and I'm starting to wonder why he went to Sacramento without even telling me.

Though it's not his obligation to tell me stuffs about him but I thought we're really close now and I got used to him telling me everything about him.

At least I got to focus inside my bedroom and do my school works. No one is knocking on my balcony door and no disturbance.

Physically.

But mentally I'm pretty much agitated, my head is chanting Jimin's name like it's some kind of a ritual.

Sometimes I want to cut my head off and throw it out of the window in times like this.

I was calling him every day since he left for Sacramento, but of course, he's not answering.

I'm starting to think that I might do something bad to him that I didn't notice I was doing. Especially that day in the ice cream shop, I was pretty nice to him at that time although I wanted to get rid of him.

Since it's the weekend and I got a boring life, I surfed the internet and I stumbled upon a Youtube video wherein a chef is making a bowl of omelet rice.

My mouth waters and I suddenly realized that I am hungry. I go downstairs to the living room only to find no one.

I checked my phone to see any messages from my parents but there's none. I walked to the dining and there's a note on the refrigerator that said they went to Aunt Karen and they brought along Sean.

That's great news.

I dialed my sister's phone number and after a few rings she picked up. "Where are you?" I asked.

"On a date. Now stop calling." She hisses and then rudely ends the call. I roll my eyes before getting something to eat inside the fridge but there's none.

I checked the kitchen cabinets to see if there are any instant noodles but most of the cabinets are already empty.

I just went to the grocery days ago, I can't believe our supplies are already running out again. I sat on the stool placed beside the kitchen island and my hand catches my face as I stare at the wilderness.

I'm dying.

I need food.

I hastily grabbed my phone again and searched for an easy food recipe. If I'm going to experience more of the 'home alone' situations then I should survive on my own.

I almost throw my phone on the wall when I can't come up with a nice dish. All of them need time and effort, and I don't have one of those.

While scrolling down to an endless pile of recipes online, my finger stopped at a certain recipe.

Without further thoughts, I get the apron and put it on myself as I started following the instructions posted on the screen.

After a little experiment, I suddenly got the hang of it and then I perfectly cooked one recipe.

Later on, with many burns on my hand and spilled oil on the kitchen counter, I finally finished cooking my very first recipe.

I microwaved a bowl of instant rice and with my egg rolls, it's perfect. At least it's somehow near to omelet rice.

Eggs are still eggs.

It's reasonable that egg rolls are Jimin's favorite, it's really tasty.

Once I'm full I did the dishes on the sink and sat down on the sofa in the living room.
