One in a Million

--First day after being unemployed--

Jihyo wakes up from the sun light coming through her window. It was Saturday morning and the birds' chirping out her window soothe her ears. While stretching her limbs, a sweet smile appears on her face. The thought of a cup of hot coffee, toasts with bacon and eggs is too appealing, it makes her hungry. She finally decided to get up from bed and prepare her own breakfast.

Yesterday night, she planned how she should spend her entire day. She took her notes with her and put it on top of her dining table. She put on her apron and took the ingredients she need out of her fridge. She started to brew her coffee as well while heating the pan to cook herself some bacon and omelette. As she cooks, she also put some bread loaf to her toaster. She prepared everything just as how she imagined it while on bed. She did a very good job in plating too and inspired her to post a photo of her breakfast in her IG.

The aroma of her coffee awakens her sleeping brain cells. Finally settling down to grab her first bite, Jihyo reviewed her plans for today. She made a healing schedule before she starts her life back in university. Her last few weeks as BTS' manager have been the most fun days in her entire career with the boys. She received a beautiful present from them that made her thought it will be a waste if she will decide to stop pursuing her dreams now. She also made a promise with Suga that she will gain more confidence and take little steps towards achieving her dreams.

Okay, Jihyo... what do we have for today? Hmm...

Her list composed of only three things;

1. Clean the house

2. Cook your favorite dish for lunch

3. Go out and spend the whole day outside

She smiled thinking how simple her list looks like. She wonders how her "Me time" will turned out and excited to spend her day happily.

After breakfast, she washed the dishes she used and starts cleaning her house starting from her room. As she wipes the dust off her things, she came across an old notebook in a pile of her old school materials. She took it and open the familiar pages. It was her song book when she was still into music writing, when she's still clueless of her parents' marriage problem. On the very first page was her messy scribbles when she was about... seven years old??? Her old self seems very happy to acquire the note book from her mom for the very first time. The way she have written each words on that page put a smile on her lips. Oddly enough, she can remember the exact feeling she had back then... the heart fluttering and full of excitement, the unwavering resolve and undying happiness and love for music.

On the next page lies her first ever composition entitled "My favorite mom in the world". As she scan each lines, her eyes start to moist. The little Jihyo back then was full of love and dreams. Little did she know, the mother she hold dear will eventually crushed all her dreams. She decided to close the notes and carefully wipe it clean before continuing her task.

She begin to clean the kitchen and living room too. When finally satisfied, she wipes her hands with a proud smile. Her house now looks like a cozy home. Since it's almost time for lunch, she decided to start cooking her favorite dish; fried chicken and kimchi stew. She turns on her favorite song playlist and happily starts cooking while grooving in her choice of music.

After cooking, she packed the rest of the dish and ask manager Hobeom to send it to the boys. She remembered Taehyung earnestly asking her if she can cook kimchi stew for them. Though she cannot meet up with the boys now, she knew they will enjoy her little present.

When she's done, Jihyo starts to get moving. She decided to buy some stuff for scrap booking. She realized she had a lot of photos taken and decided to create a scrap book out of it. She might also spend time sight- seeing around Seoul and capture more photos for her scrap book. At night, she wanted to experience drinking a can of beer at Han river because she had never tried it before. They say it's relaxing and gives you a different feeling so she becomes curious and wanted to try it out.
