Chapter 22: IRENE

JENNIE's

As the night passed, and of course we had fun hanging out again after a few months of being away from each other. We sang, played, danced like there was no more tomorrow.

Lisa, on the other hand, was holding herself not to drink too much because we have work tomorrow. She's now a CEO of a one big company, and that's Manoban Industry.

Currently, we are just chitchatting about anything.

"Hey, Jennie." Irene spoke, "Hmm?" I replied.

"Can we talk outside?" She asked and I told her why. "I have something to ask." so I nodded then followed her through the balcony.

"Do you still remember anything from your mother's passing?" She asked me, about Irene, i know her since we were still kids. But we kinda drifted apart when we both got busy in college.

"The weird thing is, i dreamt of that earlier right before i woke up." I told her honestly. "From where we were, how things got hectic inside the car and what she said to me before the car crashed." Irene nodded and asked me. "After that, do you still remember stuff?"

"No... i woke up at our house already. I remembered that the accident happened at May. The last 2 weeks before June, then i when i got conscious again, it was already the first week of June." I told her carefully and she nodded signaling me to continue. "For short, i was in coma for 2 weeks? I wasn't familiarized with everyone around me. Even my dad, and oh, your mother was there."

'So it shows that you had an amnesia and got yourself in coma. I see how you don't know who Lisa is, and how much she meant to you.' As i thought when i listened to Jennie.

I've known Jennie for a long time now, since we were in kindergarten. We were classmates. In the age of 7, she was hospitalized, by the accident and lost her Mother. My mom told me the news, and of course i was shocked, when i came to her, she said she doesn't remember me at all. I was hurting, wondering what did she do to deserve things like those. But i didn't gave up, i stayed by her side, for the least that i can. And she slowly remembered who I was and sooner apologized for forgetting me. Jennie's a kindhearted girl, she's more fragile than everyone thought. I was her bestfriend, and always will be.

And as i've said, i known her since we were kids, i know everything about her, everything that has happened when she was in coma. On the other hand, i also knew about Lisa. She was Jennie's childhood friend, i was the one who told Lisa what happened to Jennie. And she said she has decided not to stay close to her, letting Jennie completely forget her. And of course, the coaster doesn't end here, when they were in college and that was the time that me and Jennie doesn't speak to each other more often like we used to before, i knew about Lisa's doings, her disguises and all, i also knew about the bet. I kept it all to myself.

Lisa doesn't know that i know everything that has happened. How did i know? I'm a very observant girl. From Jungkook, from seeing her in the entrance wearing her normal outfit then changing into something that isn't really her. Jungkook did a very great job on hiding and protecting her. And there was this one time that she was entering the campus, i was kind of far away behind her, and she dropped something, and it came from her wallet. I checked it carefully, it was her ID. Her original ID, not the fake one, of course legitimacy is required.

That's when i knew that was her, one thing i also noticed about her was her eyes. I know her eyes, it's a doe-shaped eye. The color itself shows, and it was brown. I understand why Jennie didn't give me much of a reaction when we both met each other. Some conflicts happened.
