Chapter 4: Chapter 4
Jennie's POV
I've been working at this place for three years yet it's the first time of me walking in this company without interest on doing so. I was so preoccupied by my dream. I finished my report last night almost two in the morning, that is when i drink tons of milk just to get sleepy, i can't remember of dreaming her last night and im not sure if I'll be dreaming of her again.
"Jen??? Oh you're spacing out." Seulgi snaps in front of my face. I didn't notice her coming to my cubicle.
"Did i? Uhh!! What to do?!!" i groan while grabbing my hair tangling it on my fingers.
"Huh? What to do?!! Why? What's wrong?" Seulgi sat on the empty swivel chair from the cubicle on my side.
"Uhh Unnie.. " i look at her. This whole unreal dream is bothering me.
"Okay, so what is it? Tell me" she said and held my hand. "Don't tell me its the project again?"
I shake my head and pause for a while. I was thinking of telling her about my dreams, but I wasn't sure how she was going to take it. But somehow I had a feeling that she would understand and probably give me advice since she worked in the Human Resource department of the company. She was the closest thing I had to a psychiatrist right now after Irene unnie.
"Um, okay," I sighed, "This is really weird so don't laugh at me, okay?"
"Shoot," said Seulgi, looking at me eagerly.
"I've had two consecutive dreams about the same person," I began. "The thing is, I don't know this person in real life. I only see her in my dreams."
"Okayyyy, I really have no idea where this conversation is leading to..." Seulgi gave me a puzzled look.
"I just... I'm..." I stammered. "I don't know why I dream of her that way. You're aware of lucid dreaming, right? Well this one's ten times worse. I dreamt about her last Sunday night, and then of course the dream was cut when Jongin woke me up. And then the dream continued that night! And she still knew my name!"
"Wait, hold on," said Seulgi, looking even more confused. "So you're saying that your dream sort of picked up where you left off, in a span of like twelve hours, and in the dream, this person still knew you?"
"Exactly!"
"And you really don't know her?"
"No. Well, she told me her name. It's Lisa, and she's a Thai. But I don't know anyone named Lisa or a foreigner atleast and I swear I've never met her in real life before."
"Is it like a scary dream? Like a nightmare?"
"Absolutely not," I answered. Scary? Uh much more better than reality.
"Then why is it bothering you so much?" she asked. I bit my lip, i don't know either why am i bothered by it.
"So it's not supposed to be a big deal? If I were you, I wouldn't really get worked up about it unless it haunts me like a nightmare or something. Like the kind where you can't sleep and all," shrugged Seulgi. "But it doesn't seem like it." Thats the problem, i don't know when will i dream of her again when i sleep.
"Yeah," I said, letting out a weak chuckle. "I guess you're right."
"Next time, maybe you could actually practice lucid dreaming," suggested as she stood up when she saw Irene coming. "Try to control your dreams, then maybe you'll figure out what it's all about."
I nodded, "Okay. I will try that."
Seulgi smiled at me before she face her everly gorgeous girlfriend.
Irene leaned over to Seulgi and gave her a soft kiss on the lips. "So I'll pick you up after my meeting?"
"Yes, I'll see you," she murmured while kissing her lower lip.
I rolled my eyes. These two love birds always like to make out in front of me. I was already used to it, but I always made it a point to make it obvious that I was in their presence and annoyed by them, but of course, im not meaning it.
"Glad that was over," I said, wrinkling my nose shooing them away with my hands.
The two giggled waving goodbye at me before leaving the room to go to her department,
"Don't worry to much about it, ok? It's just a dream anyway. What's more important is the actual life you're living. . . . ." I talked to myself. UGHH!!
I sank in my seat and buried my head in my desk. She did have a point. Now all I had to do was follow her advice. Follow Seulgi... Enjoy the dream.
After a long tiring work, i went straight to home feeling even more dizzier, i just want to bump my face on the pillow and rest forever.
Jongin welcomed me from the doorway and give me a peck.
"You look really tired babe." he cups my face gently giving my cheeks a rub.
I pouted, "I was just tired and sleepy."
"You're always sleepy. " he teased, pinching my nose.
"Yeah, the project is stressing me." i said, as I took my coat off .
"You're overworking again. Cmon I'll give you a massage." he giggled while i nod and letting out a yawn.
I laughed as he took my arms for a hug. Basicaly were hugging while heading to the couch. This is quite annoying but i don't want to ruin the moment.
"Jennie, do you want to stay with me as I work on?" Jongin asked while she give my head a light circling motion of massage.
I pause for a bit before I slowly shook my head.
"Umm, I'm feeling really sleepy already," i said looking straight to his eyes with a muzzy voice. "I think I'll go ahead and sleep." Maybe after this relaxing massage he's giving.
"It's only eight-thirty," he frowned. "That was weird. You would always sleep at around eleven or twelve midnight, and lately you've been sleeping pretty"
"I know, but I'm feeling really sleepy," i repeated. Jongin suddenly lean over and giving me a kiss.
He stops from massaging and held my arms, still letting his mouth lingers on mine. I felt him slid a bit of his tongue on my mouth that instantly turns me on and made me moan.
"Baby?" he whispered, keeping our lips attached.
"Mhmmm?" i asked humming feeling the vibration of my lips on him.
"Are you... are you pregnant?"
"What?!!" I exclaimed, quickly detaching my lips from him.
He run his hand through his hair, "I'm sorry, it's just that... you've been acting really weird, it's almost as if you were... you know."
"What makes you say that?" I frown and fix my seat.
"Well, first of all, you're always sleepy," he said, "Second, you're just acting strange. I can't put my finger on it. Maybe it's your hormones or something... or like whatever happens to women when they get pregnant. I heard once that pregnant women always like to sleep."
"Kai. . . . ." i said as he touch my arm. "I'm definitely not pregnant. I promise."
"Maybe we could get you some tests?" he suggested but i shake my head.
"I'm not pregnant, Kai," I giggled, this is ridiculous. "I just got my period three days ago."
He let out a sigh of relief after of what i said. It must've been going through his head these days and he wants to have kids with me but definitely we didn't want them anytime soon.
"Do you at least have an explanation for your weird behavior?" he asked letting me rest my head on his chest.
I stared at him for awhile before answering, "I've just... I've just been really tired with work lately, that's all. I promise I'm fine and you have nothing to worry about."
"Alright, if you say so," he mumbled, kissing the tip of my nose. "Get your sleepy ass to bed now. I'll follow you in awhile."
I smile and stood up kissing his lips for the last time. "I love you. Goodnight."
"Goodnight Jen." he whispered and i smile before disappearing inside the bedroom.
Shit!! He actually thought I was pregnant??
I was lying in bed for almost ten minutes but i guess my sleepiness left for no reason because of Kai.
Was I that obvious?!!
I sat up on the bed as I played with the sheets. I felt really bad lying about everything. But what was I supposed to say? That I'm acting weird because I've been dreaming about this really cute girl who was the complete opposite of him? Definitely opposite.
Not only would he feel hurt, but he would also think that I was crazy... which I'm starting to think I really am.
"Try to control your dreams, then maybe you'll figure out what it's all about."
Seulgi's advice kept playing in my head.
Okay. Let's see how this lucid dreaming thing will work on me.
I leaned back on my pillow and turned off the lamp beside me. I tried to remember everything that I read on the blog yesterday, and tried to follow it myself.
Let yourself fall asleep when you get near to the point where your dream left off.
I closed my eyes and started to drift off. I hope that this time, I would actually be aware that I was dreaming.
And most important of all... I wish that I would dream about her again when that happens.
Lisa's POV
These days, i found myself putting a little more effort with our business. I just talked to my dad and told me that he's been planning on having a branch of our coffee shop at Busan. It excites me the fact that the girl i met work there although i wasn't sure if she lives in there too.
Lately, she's been running through my head. I don't know how or when will i see her again. The first time i met her was when i bring her to her work at Busan. It wasn't really near from Yeonsu but i just couldn't let that beautiful woman crumple her beautiful face all day long in frustration.
Our second meeting was sort of weird, she suddenly pop inside the office of my coffee shop. I don't know how she ended up there but i liked seeing her again.
I learn a lot about her, like she has this weird humor that I've never seen anyone has. And she's always nailing it.
"Ma'am?" someone knocked from the door followed by peeking of one of my staff.
"This is the papers that your father left. He told me to give this to you." She said walking inside holding an envelop. It must have been the documents about our upcoming new branch.
"Okay thank you Yuri." i smile at her and she bow before she leave.
I messaged my dad that i received the documents and he replies that i need to get to the target place where we'll build the branch. I simply reply with okay before i took the brown bucket hat and wore my coat.
"Yena, I'll just go to Busan. I don't know if I'll be back here today but incase Minnie came, told her that I'll meet her tomorrow instead." I fix my coat before leaving the coffee shop to her. She's the best branch manager that's why i love staying here when im not doing anything.
My fingers keep on taping the steering wheel as i drive my way to Busan. I know that the City is huge as it sound but the thought of being in the same City with her excites me. I hope i can meet her again, although its only 1% chance possible.
I don't know how long I've been driving this expressway but the sign "Busan City" took everything away, finally.
The lot that I've visit was far from where i bring Jennie but still, i decided to went there after checking the details.
The streets were busy since it's already five in the afternoon. If Jennie works without overtime, i could probably see her. I pull over the side where i stopped my car last time.
While im waiting for the impossible luck, i get off the car and lean on it when suddenly someone poked me.
"Lisa? Lisa Manoban?" A girl with a beautiful eyes looking at me. She looks familiar.
"Uhmm do i know you?" I smile being polite incase we really know each other, maybe yes cause she knows me.
"Wow it's really you. Im Irene! We're classmates way back in middle school!" She smile beautifully.
"Oh. wait uhm... Bae?!! Irene Bae?!!!" my eyes widen when i realize how she changed a lot. Her face were far from before. I don't have an idea that she was this gorgeous.
She pull me in a tight hug although were not that close before.
"Wow how are you? What are you doing here?" She asked.
"We moved in Yeonsu and im here for our business. Are you working here?" I coaxed while she looks extremely excited on meeting me.
"Oh i see. Yes, im working over there. . . . Oh Jennie!!" She pointed at the blue building but her point turns to wave when she called someone.
Someone that i didn't expect the God's would allow me to meet in uncertain place with unexpected people.
