Meet Me When I'm Asleep

Chapter 16 - Goodbyes

Jennie's POV

"You'll see me again"

I practically jumped out of bed when I woke up. I feel so heavy like everything happens in real life.  Just know how dreams go from one story to another in just a blink of an eye? At least that's how dreams normally go. Well, that just happened thrice in a row and the weirdest was last night, the candy land incident.

My mind couldn't stop from thinking of Lisa. I know its just a dream but it still bothers me.

After taking a quick shower, I rushed out the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my head as I tried to get dressed in five minutes. I have no idea what that dream with Lisa meant but it scared me more than it should have. The entire dream itself was just creepy, the way everything just changed every minute.

I knew Lisa was going to be fine. I felt it in my heart. However, her telling me that I'll find her means much more than just words.

There were so many questions running through my head as I got ready, I didn't even notice the time.

I left the house and still i have a minute to walk before i reached where the cabs are.

"I should've get a car.."

Still have thirty minutes left, i didn't stress myself out and call for a taxi. As soon as i get inside, a memory strikes inside my head.

Its exactly the same scenario when i first met Lisa. But the thing is im still in Busan, and the driver was different.

And it was reality.

Great. The panic already makes me forget about that crazy dream and thanks to this scenario, i was reminded by her again.

The whole day was though, every minute, Lisa kept on running inside my head. The sight of the pile of papers on my desk adds exhaustion in me , I haven't had a chance to see Seulgi and Irene due that they were coming with the event at Itaewon so it was only me who ate lunch. I didn't bother to go anywhere and just had some sorts at the coffee shop nearby.

Im slowly absorbing the fact that im already alone in this apartment. And going to bed tonight was tough. My entire body was tired, but my mind just kept thinking about so many things at once. Primary Mino, where could i possibly meet him again and that crazy dream with Lisa, i don't know what should i feel about it.

I don't know why im overly obsessed with my dreams, and its already not good. Maybe because at the back of my mind, I always felt like if it was meant to be, it will happen - without me having to move mountains.

After crying for what seemed like forever, I finally dozed off and for the first time in a long time, a part of me wished I would dream of something else, at least just for tonight. Im so tired of this, i need to get rid of it.

I opened my eyes and noticed a cool breeze surrounding me. Everywhere I looked, there were huge, fluffy clouds in different shapes and sizes. There were heart-shaped clouds, round ones, and even clouds that were shaped like animals.

I tried walking through them when I realized that I wasn't walking, i was floating.

On air.

Thousands of feet above the ground.

I started to scream while trying to hold on to the clouds like an idiot, but never got to grasp any of them anyway. I was expecting myself to fall back to the ground any minute now but then I felt someone's arms started to wrap around my waist.

I quickly turned around and saw Lisa with a goofy smile on her face. "Hey there! I thought you'd never show."

I wasn't even surprised that she was perfectly fine now as compared to her situation after her accident the other night. It was already clear to me that consistency no longer existed in my dreams about her.
