Meet Me When I'm Asleep

Chapter 24 - Working on It

Jennie's POV

Seulgi and I sat on the couch anxiously waiting for them to wake up. It was 8 in the morning and both of us barely got any sleep while the rest in here was sleeping soundly.

"They're still alive, right?" Seulgi questioned jokingly.

"Of course they are." I playfully whacked Seulgi's shoulder.

"Damn Irene's going to have a horrible hangover when she wakes up."

It's a good thing it was a Saturday or I would've totally skipped work. There was no way I was going to do anything else except try to get to the bottom of this.

Half an hour later, we decided to eat our breakfast while we wait. I told Seulgi beofore about Lisa on my dreams, i know she's thinking im crazy, well that's what everyone thought of me.

I circled my spoon around the bowl and played with the cereals in it. I didn't really feel like eating, at least not right now.

I was just about to say something when I saw Lisa stretch from my peripheral vision. I flinched and dropped my spoon on the floor, causing her to slowly flinch in surprise. Her hair was a complete mess, her shirt was crumpled, and she looked like she had absolutely no clue what was going on.

"Where am I?" she yawned while scratching her eyes.

"Hi," Seulgi and I both said at the same time. It was hard to hide the enthusiasm.

"You passed out last night." Seulgi spoke slowly. "You were drunk and . .. "

"Oh yeah I remember," Lisa interrupted groggily. Her eyes darted towards me. "Where is Rosé?"

"She's out with Jisoo. They were just strolling down the street. " i said. Lisa paused for a moment before she spoke.

"oh its you. are you okay?" she asked .

"Uh... me?" I slowly motioned toward my chest, still in disbelief that she was standing in front of me, talking to me.

"Yeah, you," she smiled sheepishly. "You passed out and you're just lucky I caught you. What was that all about?"

I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out.

Seulgi picked up her glass from the table and looked at both of us. "I'll be upstairs at Irene, call me if you need anything. I believe you two need to talk."

A part of me didn't want Seulgi to leave because I wasn't sure if I could handle this on my own. It was already hard having a conversation with Lisa without feeling like fainting again.

When Seulgi was gone, Lisa got up and sat next to me, making my heart pound even faster. She just sat there staring at me, like as if she was trying to figure something out. She kept her gaze on me as she reached out her hand, touching the ends of my hair.

"How do you know me again?" she finally asked, her eyes never leaving mine.

"You... uhmm...." I stammered. If she doesn't know me, how was I supposed to tell her the reason why I know her without being mistaken for a lunatic?

"You sure you don't know me?" I diverted the question to her. "Like a hundred percent positive? You didn't wake up from some sort of coma or anything like that? Amnesia? Maybe hit your head somewhere...?"

"Well... you just said it." Lisa tossed her head back and laughed, looking at me. "I don't think i should be saying this to you but you're right, i woke up from a year of coma two months ago. You know, we caught up in an accident and my family died. But its been years, im fine now? I'm pretty sure I'm in a normal state right now... except for the fact that I have a bad hangover and we ended up sleeping in someone's house. I don't think I was that drunk though because I still remember what happened." She really hit her head. Thats it!
