Meet Me When I'm Asleep

Chapter 2 - Continued

Jennie's POV

I reached the office almost ten today and it was really a buzzer beater. I look up to my phone and it shows twelve. I saw everyone heading outside so is Irene and Seulgi, my work buddies.

"Jen you okay?" Irene asked as soon as they reached my table.

"Yeah, I just can't get over from almost getting late." I smile and took my wallet before walking outside with them.

Seulgi and Irene were my workmates since three years ago and they were together for a year already. It was funny how they came to admit their feelings. My boyfriend Jongin place a note to each of their drinks and after that, you know what happened.

"So what do want for lunch?" Irene asked her girlfriend before me.

"I want pasta." Seulgi pointed at a restaurant in front of our building.

"I'm not in the mood to eat." I said and faint a smile. They shrug at me as we went inside the resto.

This place looks fancy but the price was budget friendly. Not to mention that their food wa s really good, I'm just too sluggish today to eat.

"Are you really okay? You look pale." Seulgi asked as we sit on a table of four.

To be honest, I didn't know what was wrong with me. I felt lethargic and weak, and I didn't feel like eating anything.

"I think it's just the stress," I answered, "I had to rush that report since the moment I arrived and I haven't taken a breather since then. And just a little sleepy. Been thinking of the project lately." I check my phone to see if there's a message from Jongin but there's none.

"You shouldn't stress yourself over it. You know you always do good work." Irene tried to cheer me up while giving a light squeeze on my hand. I suddenly felt dizzy and sleepy.

"You look so tired Jen. You should rest and call it a day." Seulgi worriedly.

"Yeah. I'm sure it won't be a big fuss. I'll just tell Mrs. Cho that you leave early. She won't care either." Irene insist and i just nod, maybe i really need to rest. I was stressing myself out of the Project that was approaching. Well its quite a big one and It can help me to get a promotion.

"I've messaged Kai. He said he'll be here in fifteen minutes." Seulgi said and i just nod. I remember the girl in my dreams last night, she has a blonde hair. Her eyes were dark but her cheeks were puffy that made her cuter.

Just exactly the food was served, Jongin came with a big worry on his face.

"Jennie.." he kneel on my side and cup my both cheeks. "Are you okay? I knew it, you look so pale earlier." Jongin checks my temperature like i was sort of sick.

"I'm fine. I just feel tired. Seul....unnie.. I'll get going."  I smile at them and they just nod.

Jongin drive me back home and interrogate me before heading back to the coffee shop. He helped me get on the couch and pulled my shoes off.

"You've been stressing yourself with work too much babe. You should take it slow." he said, sitting on the empty space next to where my head was laid. "Maybe you should take a leave to relax your whole system."

"We've just been so busy," I mumbled, barely opening my eyes, i really felt so tired. "Things will get back to normal after our event. I can't afford to miss work, I'm already taking half the day off now." I hissed and comfort myself. I felt his fingers stroke my cheeks, which helped my relax more. Well Jongin always been an excellent source of comfort.
