Story 5: Dreams

JUNGKOOK POV

"So Jungkook, what are you doing tomorrow."

My friend Lisa and I were out at our favorite cafe. Bagley's bagels and creamery. It was our usual hangout spot in the afternoon when we were both done at work.

"I'm not sure actually; I'm gonna have to check my schedule," I replied to her.

"Alright, well, I was thinking maybe Saturday, you wanna go on a date," Lisa asked me.

I was a bit surprised at her question. It made me think.

"So, what is it," she said.

"Umm.........

"Jungkook, Jungkook, JUNGKOOK!!!" Lisa kept getting louder.

That's when I woke up.

"Oh fuck," I mumbled out.

*Intercom turns on*

???: JUNGKOOK!! Are you awake?

Jungkook: Yeah, I'm awake

???: That was a pretty long session you had there; we had to wake you up

Jungkook: How long was I asleep for

???: About 32 hours, anyway, you know the drill

I was in a medical facility for testing medicines and other diseases. Me, I've been having a lot of sleeping issues, having nightmares within dreaming, or other times lucid dreams, except I can't control my own lucid dream. I called for help, and the people who monitored me have been scanning my brain patterns. Anyway, I have been placed in this special room where I get hooked up to some wires when I'm sleeping. The doctors can wake me up at any time in case of an emergency. I've been here since 6 months ago, and I can't leave until they find a cure. I do my routine and exit the room.

"Hey, Charlie," I said.

"Hey, Jungkook," she replied. "So, was it another dream about this girl Lisa."

"Yeah, it was," I replied.

Most recently, I've been having these dreams about this girl Lisa. The first time I had it, I thought it was an imaginary person I made in my head, but she keeps popping up in each dream. Like we've had a history together, but I can't seem to put the puzzles in the right place. 

"So what was this dream about," she asked me.

"Oh, it started when I got back from my work, then I met Lisa at a cafe," I replied.

"Do you know this name of the cafe, by any chance," Charlie said.

"Bagley's bagels and creamery, why."

I noticed Charlie writing some stuff in her notepad, but I didn't do much of it. It was probably to log my dreams and send them to data to help find a cure.
