a month later...

Jennie's POV

Lights, breakthrough the walls, the press, television reporters, the red carpet; I can't believe she actually did it.

Everyone was now going to see her hard work. The smile on her face made me even happier than she was. Now I felt like she was actually content with everything.

She was like a ray of sunshine. Her cheerfulness was contagious. She made almost everyone from the press laugh.

Less than two months before this much awaited day, Lisa told me about what Bian had warned her about Kai.

We decided not to bug him about it anymore after that. It's not like he was going to tell the truth anyway. However, we became extra cautious when it came to the information we would give him.

While waiting for the beginning of the event, Lisa's aunt Min and the rest of her family had their eyes glued to Lisa and the monitor where the video of the book's preview is playing. Minnie was with Lilly, they came all the way from Thailand to witness this event.

Lisa's jaw was dropped nearly the entire time. She never said a single word. Instead, she had her hand tightly gripped around mine.

"It's like I'm reading our story right in front of my eyes," she finally says.

"You made our dreams come to life," I smile, planting a quick kiss on her cheek. I couldn't be prouder of her right now. Although I know that I inspired most of this, I couldn't possibly take the credit for her.

She was the most hard working person I've ever met. And the best part of all was that she ended up doing everything out of love, love for me.

Kai and Bian were sat beside Seulgi and Irene. Kai was rolling his eyes most of the time. Either that or he would always keep his attention to his phone.

I love how Lisa revised her entire plot idea the moment I came into her life. The story was originally supposed to be a love story about two completely different people who meet at the unexpected place.

But she managed to change it all up according to our story really began, in my dreams. She managed to take out Kai's character in the story to avoid drama, which would most likely happen knowing how Kai is now.

The moment the teaser ended with Jennifer's final line before the credits were rolled, the crowd was filled with gasps.

"Meet me when I'm asleep. " Jennifer says, her eyes sparkling as she breathed out what was going to become the most memorable line in the book.

At first the audience was silent, but after Minnie started the applause, everyone else followed. The entire auditorium was now filled with screams. People were shouting Lisa's name. Cameras started to focus on her face.

She just sat there in awe of everything that was happening around her.

The music stops from playing and in a split of second, everyone went in silence.

"Good Day Everyone." The man in i think almost mid fifty stood up in the stage.

"Miss Lisa, we need to go." a woman approaches us telling that the event will began.

Lisa look at me with a nervous eyes. "You can do it." I smile and connect my lips on her. "i love you."

They went to the back stage where everyone is focused

"No one will know how our life will end and we should be thankful of what we have now. Sieze every moment just like Jennifer said. Like how this woman fought and win against all the odds. Without further ado, may we call on, the eldest daughter of our Late CEO Marco Manoban, the now new President of Manoban's Company, may we call on, Ms. Lisa Manoban!"
