Meet Me When I'm Asleep

Chapter 34 - Hello Again

Jennie's POV

"Our flight's leaving in an hour," I told Lisa as we walked hand in hand around the airport. "You leave for Thailand tomorrow morning, yeah?"

She tightened her grasp around my hand and nodded. "Call me when you get there. Are you sharing a room with Seulgi and Irene, and your friend ?

"Yeah but Seulgi and Irene will be out most of the time." I said. "She told her that they need to take advantage of the free trip"

Lisa gave me another nod, but she didn't look like she was paying attention. She looked rather apprehensive.

"Lisa Manoban, are you jealous?" I teased.

"No I'm not," she defensively replied.

"Okay," I pursed my lips. "If you say so."

Lisa sighed and rolled her eyes. "Alright, maybe a little bit."

"You know Irene before me, and Taemin is a good guy who happens to have a girlfriend," I assured her. Her cheeks were beat red and she kept looking away from me in embarrassment. "There's absolutely no reason to be jealous."

"Well, that makes me feel at ease," Lisa gave me a sheepish grin. "Just try not to get drunk or party too hard. Save that for next time when you're with me."

"Lisa, I don't even party too hard," I laughed, tossing my head back. "You've got a good girl here."

"Okay I trust you," she smiled, leaning in for a kiss. There were lots of people in the airport but whenever I was with Lisa, I felt like we were the only ones there.

"Ooooh lovers in paradise," Seulgi's loud cheeky voice interrupted our moment. "Well, in the airport, not really paradise."

I immediately broke the kiss when I saw Seulgi walking towards us, along with Irene and Taemin.

Lisa wiped her mouth and tucked her hand inside her back pocket. "Hey guys," she awkwardly smiled.

"Oh, so you're Lisa," Taemin cleared his throat.

"You must be Taemin," Lisa gave him a polite nod.

I bit my lip as I tried to ignore the tension. I knew Tae wasn't such a huge supporter of me and Lisa since he knows how much Lisa's existence in my dreams broke his best friend's heart.

"What a great night!" Seulgi spread her arms wide, breaking the tension. "Have you guys had dinner? Have you had dinner babe?"

Irene nodded. "Yes, I have. I totally wouldn't mind some dessert though."

"You actually look familiar Lisa," Taemin went on. "Not so sure where I've seen you before."

"Maybe in the news." Irene mumbled that caught Taemin.

"What was that?" Taemin asked.

"Nothing,"she grinned. "Shall we have some ice cream?"

The last few minutes I had with Lisa in the airport wasn't so awkward anymore thanks to Seulgi's natural ability to ease things up among everyone. When we were about to board our plane, Lisa pulled me back and gave me a tight hug.

"I'll see you when we both get back," she whispered to my ear..

"I'll miss you," I murmured, giving her lips a quick kiss.

"I think I'll miss you more," she sighed.

"You need this time to work on your story though," I reminded her. "You know you have to finish that as soon as possible so we can make it published, I'll look on to it."
