Meant To Be | Jennie × Fem Reader

Chapter 21 - A Clue

*Y/N's POV*

It's that dream again.

'I am leaving tonight, Y/N. Forget about me.'

It's that girl again. She's leaving me again.

But...

But... why does she look like Jennie?

'Don't go, Jennie. Please don't leave me.' I whimpered in my dream.

She didn't listen. She walked away from me. Jennie was walking away from me. Without even sparing me another look.

Where's she going? Why is she leaving me?

'Don't go, Jennie.'

She didn't hear my pleas. She didn't see my tears. She just left me. She just... disappeared.

"Jennie!" I shouted as I woke up from my sleep, panting, sweaty, and incoherent.

"What the fuck!" I mumbled.

And what the actual fuck was that!

The nameless, faceless girl in my dreams. How did all of a sudden I am seeing Jennie in her place?

This is crazy! I am crazy!

Jennie left for LA yesterday afternoon. She was here before she left for the airport since I couldn't go to drop her off.

Maybe that's why!

Since this is my first relationship, my mind is not coping with the parting. Though it's been barely a day... I miss Jennie, so maybe that's why my mind is confusing her with some girl from my childhood.

That has to be it!

I almost flinched when suddenly my phone rang. I picked it up from the table beside my bed, and it was my Jennie.

"Hey, Baby!" She chirped as soon as I picked up, and I felt my nerves calming at the sight of her.

God! I guess I am lovesick!

"Baby, are you okay? Why do you look so pale?" She questioned almost immediately.

"No– it's, uh, it's nothing, Baby! I was just startled with the phone!" I lied. "What's going on with you?" I somehow managed to change the topic.

"I just got to the hotel, Baby! Thought I'd let you know. Did I wake you?" She asked apologetically.

"Oh, no, my love. I was already up. I couldn't sleep well."

"What happened, Baby?" Her tone was worried.

"Nothing... just... I guess I miss you already." I mumbled and watched her face grow red.

"Don't make me run back there, Y/L/N." She threatened me with a fake mad face.

I laughed. "Don't do that, Love. You need to focus on your work. And take care of yourself, too, okay?"

"I will, Baby! You need to take care of yourself as well, okay? Are you going to the rehearsals today?"

"No. But I need to go to the academy for a while, though. I am free for the rest of the day."

"Okay! No playing around while I am not there, alright? And don't miss me too much!"

"No guarantee on the second one, Sweetheart," I said cockily and she blushed again.

"Al– Alright! I gotta go, Baby. I need to catch up on some sleep before going to the recording studio."

I nodded, smiling.

We bid our goodbyes, and I love yous before cutting the call. I purposely avoided telling her about the dream because I didn't want her to worry about me.

I went to my coaching centre from there as I had to handle some things. Close to noon, I was done, and that's when Lisa called me.

"Y/N/N!!!" She whined as soon as I picked up.

"What's up, Lis?" I asked with a chuckle.

"I want to go out tonight. Can you please come with me?" She asked in her baby voice.

"Oh, who else will be there?"

"Well, Jisoo Unnie and Chaeyoung got some other plans, and none of my other friends are available, so it's going to be just you and me."

"Oh, so, you already checked with everyone, and I was the last resort, huh?" I teased.

"What? No! No, no. I initially thought you wouldn't come since your girlfriend is out of town... but you are the only free one available... so, please, Y/N, pleaseeee?" She whined.

"Let's see! But I need to ask Jennie first."

"Yay! Thanks, Y/N/N. I always knew I could count on you. Pick you up at 7." She said in a rush and cut the call.

"Hey! I said I will try–" She didn't even let me finish.

I chuckled, shaking my head.

Well, it's been a while since I went out with my friends. Technically, the girls are the only friends I have here, so I guess I could go.

Jennie was okay with it. She just said,

"Just don't let anyone flirt with you."

Her jealousy could be felt from miles away.

I chuckled. "I don't think that will be a problem. I am probably going to spend the night babysitting your Lisa." I said playfully.

"My Lisa, huh? I thought she was your bias. Cute Lisa?" She teased back.

"Oh, God!" I groaned.

So, that's how I found myself sitting next to Lisa on the bar counter of the fully packed club, sipping my martini.

Lisa just had a few shots and has already started talking on behalf of half the club. She's such a lightweight who loves to drink. One of the main reasons why her Unnies doesn't let her drink alone.

"I am telling you they went together." She said sluggishly.

We... well, I mean, she... is talking about Jisoo Unnie and Rosie.

"Yeah, yeah, sure," I mumbled.

"Trust me! There's something going on between them." She rambled. "Cheang was very sad when Sajangnim said about the fake dating scandal between Jisoo Unnie and Bohyun Oppa. And they had been even closer ever since the breakup news came out." She fuddled. "I am telling you. I am as good as a fortune teller. I must be some kind of a sorcerer." She spoke proudly.

I snorted, taking another sip.

"You don't believe me, do you?"

"Oh, no, no. I do." I said playfully.

"Fine! Don't believe me." Lisa whined. "No one believed me when I said you must have forgotten about Jennie Unnie because you had an accident. And you really did. So, you will all believe me eventually on this one as well."

I frowned.

What?

"Wha– Lisa, what did you say?"
