Meet Me When I'm Asleep

Chapter 29 - Vengeance

Jennie's POV

"I don't want to open it," I said as I nervously bit my lower lip.

We never really had closure. He just decided to leave, and I let him. I was at that point where I was in-love with two people and I absolutely had no idea what to do except let them go.

I wasn't even aware of how I was feeling towards Kai at the moment. He was my first love. He's been my one and only love for a long time. To be honest, I don't know how moving on feels like nor do I know the process.

If anyone asked me if I still love Kai, I wouldn't know what to say.

It's been months since he left and we've never kept in touch since then. Heartbreaking, I know. But I guess I wasn't ready yet. As much as I knew it was my fault why we drifted a part, I still feel massively hurt knowing that he chose his career over me, especially right after I chose him over Lisa.

"Kim Jongin would like to invite you to her first . . . . " I paused when I realized what it was.

"Oh shit, It's her first exhibit in New York," I sighed."Next week,", feeling a bit weak inside. I wasn't so sure if I was ready to see him again.

I dialed Seulgi's number and after few rings, she answered.

"Seul. I got an invitation from Kai's exhibit." I said as soon as she picked up.

"Are you going? You're not thinking of bring Lisa with you, right? Because that would just be absolutely and utterly cruel of you."

"That would be so weird. I don't think I can even afford tickets for two," I said. "Is Kai expecting me to buy my own plane ticket to go there?"

"Well, it's the least you could do for her to make up for ruining him at his first exhibit here..."

"Whose side are you on, really? Do you have a secret crush on my ex-boyfriend?" I accused teasingly.

"No but I do admit that he is a very good-looking man,but Irene is hotter" Seulgi answered nonchalantly.

I sat on the couch and sighed, feeling quite caught in another dilemma. Of course if spend that much money to go to New York, I have to make the most of my time there, which I don't want to do because I want to be with Lisa.

But Seulgi had a point. I had to make it up to Kai this time, at least as a friend. I couldn't possibly add another incident to the long list of things that made me the world's worst girlfriend.

I just knew I couldn't possibly take Lisa with me and that goes without saying.

After thinking of ways how to deal with this situation that I am now faced with, i shut off the lights in the living room and went upstairs.

The next morning, I walked around the apartment getting dressed for work, when I was about to make coffee, I felt the sudden urge to call in sick to work. After meeting Lisa, I don't think I'd have the motivation or inspiration to do anything else but be with her. This was bad.

But right now I just didn't care.

I took my phone and sent her a text:

To: Lisa
Hey! What are you up to today? :)

It didn't take long before she replied to my message. It put a weird smile on my face.

From: Lisa
Hiiiii. I was just about to message you. I'm actually looking forward to whatever you had planned for us ;)

So if I planned an intense makeout session in my bedroom with a side of foreplay, would you look forward to it as well?

Of course I didn't send that. It's a good thing you can't send text messages with your mind.
