Memoirs

Chapter 1: Wildest Dreams

LISA'S POV:

It was a night like no other. You have your arms wrapped around me while I stare at your questioning eyes. For a moment, I thought it was forever that happened in front of my eyes. I thought we would be tangled together for a moment as if there was no escape. Ugh. Am I getting crazy? All I know is I am crazy about you. I am so into the thoughts of you, still.

JENNIE'S POV:

You were my only joy in this world. You were the light that gave me hope. It's as if nothing remained calm, but you brought me peace that no one had ever given. You did not even make me question the beginning, for I know the ending is with you. It's always going to be you.

AT THE CAFETERIA:

Roseanne: Hey! You are phasing out again, Lisayaaah! You are not even listening to me.

Lisa: Uhh! Sorry. What was it you were saying?

Roseanne: I said the next meeting with Judge Oh would be tomorrow. You have to be there, or else there's another fine for you for missing another meeting.

Lisa: He is always like that. What is new?! *goes back to eating her meal*

Roseanne: I am sure that something is bothering you. Hey! I am your best friend. You can tell me anything. You have always been the Lisa I know, and it shows when something is wrong with you. It's pretty obvious.

Lisa: Alright. I will tell you. It has been bothering me for weeks now. I have been having these dreams lately. I do not call it a nightmare. It would be a pretty good one if I were to describe it. There's always this mysterious girl in my dream that I am in love with, but everything fades away the moment we kiss in that dream.

Roseanne: Does it bother you that the kiss did not happen? *laughs*

Lisa: Sort of like that. *laughs*

Roseanne: Did you see the girl's face in that dream? Do you know where it took place? Any familiar location?

Lisa: Apparently, it's in a bedroom, God knows where. I have no idea. It's all cozy, lovely, the perfect moment, you know what I am saying, Rosie?

Roseanne: So you must be bothered because the kiss did not happen. My gosh! *laughs*

Lisa: Crazy! And yeah, I have seen her face. I cannot remember the exact details, but I know it. I know that when I see her for real, it's her. Cross my goddamn heart.

Roseanne: Whoah! When it includes your heart, and you swear, shit has gone real. Well, guess what? I do not know how I will do it, but I will help you find that girl in your dreams, okay? But for now, let's finish our food. We still have a meeting to attend thirty minutes from now. Atty. Woo will not be happy seeing you late again.

Lisa: She is a different person when no one is looking. Why does she turn into a tiger when everyone else is around? You know me, Rosie. I may not always come on time, but I am sure the most decorated lawyer in this firm. *puts her hands on her face as if trying to be cute*

*They finish their food and proceed to Atty. Woo's office. *

MEANWHILE, IN JENNIE'S OFFICE:

Jisoo: Here's the document you were asking for. I brought it to you instead of your secretary so we could talk, Jennie.

Jennie: Unnie, hi! I did not hear you knocking. *her thoughts go back to where she is*

Jisoo: You are phasing out again. Look! If you want to rest, I am okay handling all your work. It would help if you took a break. You must be exhausted with all your responsibilities here. Amazon is doing fine. You also do not have to worry about your stocks. They are in good hands. I have already fixed everything.

Jennie: I can't, Unnie. You know how Dad trusted us with everything here, remember?

Jisoo: But if that trust is causing you hard times, you need a break. A week or two will do, how about that?

Jennie: Want some tea? *stands up and goes to the counter*

Jisoo: Do not change the topic. Take my suggestion. It would be best if you had some time off to clear your mind from what happened.

Jennie: I am okay, Unnie. *makes some tea for Jisoo and her*

Jisoo: Is there something else that has been bothering you lately besides what happened to Dad?

Jennie: Uhmm. *thinks whether to say it or not* I do not know, Unnie. I always have these dreams at night, which have been going on for weeks. It's not even about Dad. It's about a girl—a mysterious girl in my dreams.

Jisoo: Ugh. Here we go again. Is this the same girl? The one with bangs? It's a common thing here in Seoul. If you wish to look for her, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Jennie: I guess it's not wrong to search for her. I do not know where to start, though. I cannot even describe how she looks. All I know is that she has bangs, a beautiful face, and all that moment we shared in our dreams. It's as if I have known her all my life. *drinks her tea*

Jisoo: You have not even found her yet, but you already sound like you're into her. *laughs* Look. I do not mind if you like girls. If that is your preference, I will accept you for who you are, but please get some rest. Take some time off. Who knows, I might help you search for her. *winks at Jennie*

Jennie: Really?? Aren't you kidding, Unnie? You are going to help me?! *acts like a child*

Jisoo: Yeah, but I will book your flight later. Go to Thailand. We have our rest house there. Settle for a week or two if you want. Try to recover. Clear your mind. When you get back, we will start looking for her, okay?

Jennie: You are the best Unnie ever!!!! *hugs Jisoo in excitement*

Jisoo: I will go back outside and check the production. I will send you the information about your flight before you go home. Love you, Sis!

Jennie: Love you, too! *smiles in excitement*

HOURS LATER. AT THE ELEVATOR:

Jennie comes in and is about to shut the door when someone's hand peaks in front of her. The girl wears a mask, a suit, and a tie that fits her body and height. "She looks elegant in that suit." She whispered.

Lisa is in a rush. Though panting, she still looks classy while looking at her watch. She does not even notice Jennie standing beside her. "Oh shit, that smell is very familiar. Chanel." She looks at Jennie.
