Meet Me When I'm Asleep

Chapter 26 - Lost in You

Lisa's POV

I had to idea where this girl was taking me, but I knew I wanted to go. I've always had a hunger for adventure myself and meeting someone who had that same longing felt like such a thrill.

The sparkle in her eyes was captivating, just as much as her smile and her entire aura drew me in to her.

Why do I believe everything she's telling me? No matter how outlandish everything seemed, it felt like reality to me. I felt like she was someone I could trust, which was a feeling I'd rarely feel with anyone.

"So you lived two hours away? Im sorry i didn't know." Jennie asked. Her hands were pushed inside the pockets of her jeans as she walked next to be on the side of the road.

"Yeah," I answered. "But its okay. I need to go out of that house too."

"Why did you change your name by the way?" Jennie asked. She pulled her coat off and tied it around her waist. I couldn't help but notice how slender she was, but not the skin and bones kind. It was like she looked perfectly fit even in a casual, loose shirt and jeans.

"oh that. It wasn't me, it was my grand parents." I pulled my bucket hat off to fix my hair, and then put it right back on after combing it with my fingers. "They change our names cause they try to conceal our identity since there's a foul play involved during the accident. We're intentionally hit, and everyone knows we're already dead."

"Oh" she gasped and look at me. "Thats impressive. You were in coma when they gave you the name, yet you introduced yourself to me as Lisa"

"Maybe its actually real that when a person is unconscious, they can still hear you. I guess they keep on calling me as Lisa, thats why in my subconscious, i thought my name was Lisa." I explained. I can barely remember anything.

Jennie smiled and stops from walking. "let's not talk about that, we should enjoy the life you had back."

"So what have you got planned for someone like me, then? You gotta make sure it's good, m'lady."

"Oooh, someone's hard to please?" she teasingly remarked.

"Well, they say if you've got good company, you'll enjoy doing pretty much anything," I grinned. "So I'm looking forward to doing anything with you tonight Jennie."

"Anything?" she raised her eyebrow.

"Anything," I confidently answered.

"Are you out of your mind?" I pedaled my bike faster, trying my best to catch up to Jennie. "What do you mean if we get caught?"

Jennie laughed as she stepped on the breaks of her bicycle, making her stop in the middle of the road. "Renting bicycles is only until seven and it's almost eight. But you will never see the best parts of Busan if you're in your car."

"So we'll just wait until we get caught then?" I breathed, leaning my arm against the handle. "This is your idea of an adventure?"

"Oh, I've only learned from the best, Lisa," she stepped in front of me and smirked.

"Alright, alright," I held my hands up. "If you think you're the bigger badass, then you've got your facts wrong, miss. I laugh in the face of danger."

"Mhmmm. That's a nice quote from Lion King," she giggled.

"Looks like we don't have time to discuss that now because..." I stopped when I noticed two men that looked like security walking behind us.

I went back on the bike and stood up while pedaling. "Race you from dusk to dawn, Jennie! Last one's a stupid monkey!"
