Chapter 3

Jennie's POV

Lisa dried her hair with a towel and handed me another clean one. We just reached back her car and she didn't mind that were both soaked with water.

"That was insane Lisa! I've never done such thing in my entire life!" I gasped and turn off the AC of her car.

"Please tell me you didn't regret it, because if you did, we seriously can't be friends anymore." She said while closing the window of her car.

"It was wild but..." I said. "I definitely loved it. That was one hell of an adrenaline rush I got there!" I giggled and she just give me a soft chuckle.

"Haha im not usually that risk taker but i just love doing something exciting. Well nothing felt wrong with that. I really love discovering new things" she start the engine and we left, i honestly don't know where were going.  "Hang around me more often and you'll become as crazy as me."

"I guess I will agree with that. You just made me do the things I've never thought of doing!" Shake my head in disbelief. I just let this woman bring the excitement in me yet it was wonderful.

"You look extra cute when you laugh," she said softly still focused in the road. "It's like your eyes disappear and all of a sudden you're just full of life."

I brushed my hand on her arm, feeling a little tingle in my spine. "You made me really happy today."

"You sure about that? Because if I remember correctly, you were yelling at me like more than half of the time," she smirked.

"I know, I know," I admitted with a guilty look on my face. "You win. I should have just trusted you that you were about to give me the ultimate thrill of my life." that's true, I dont know when was the last time i feel excitement.

Lisa pull over and turn on the heater. There was complete silence for a few seconds. All I knew that moment was that we were staring into each other's eyes, just inches away from each other's faces.

Lisa started to lean forward, until her lips so close to mine. I could feel her warm breath on my face as she started to move closer.

I bit my lip and then lean back. I shouldn't be doing this. I had a boyfriend who was waiting for me back in our apartment. My hands started to shake as I managed to spit out the stupidest thing.

"Um... Lisa?"

"Yes?" she whispered, still looking at my lips.

"I'm.... hungry."

All of a sudden, Lisa burst into soft chuckles.

"You know what Jennie?" she grinned. "You never cease to amaze me in your own little ways. Definitely not so proper on the first date."

I opened my mouth, giving her a teasing smile. "Who even said this was a date?"

"Well, today was definitely better than any date I've been on, that's for sure," she grinned.

I felt my cheeks burn.

I'm hungry? Who the fuck says that right before a kiss?

Lisa noticed that im like frozen good and in an awkward state, she took my hand and started the engine. "I'm actually hungry too. Do you want to make some sandwiches with me or should we go on a resto?"

"Either of the two." i smile and she nods.

Lisa drive for about ten more minutes before we parked on an unfamiliar restaurant.

There are characters that were written outside but i couldn't understand, I've never seen those before.

As much as i tried to remember if I've seen those, i failed. I heard Lisa's small laugh that made me look at her.

"This is Feuang Nara, it's a famous restaurant in my homeland." She said and smile. Oh my god that smile could sail a thousand ship!!

"Homeland?" i frown. Why didn't i even noticed that she isn't a Korean??

"It was surprising that you didn't think different of me but you're right, im not a Korean, im from Thailand." smile at me before shutting off the engine and get off the car.

That's why she looks like their Elephant when she isn't smiling...

Oh God isn't Thailand famous for elephants? or not?!!

Well nevermind.

"Jennie.." I heard her knock from the outside.

"Jennie... hey did you hear me?" She called and i was about to open the cars door but suddenly there was no switch inside.

"Jennie...."

"Jenniee...." Her voice suddenly change. It becomes masculine.

"Babe wake up.." She said. . . . . No, It wasn't her voice.

I slowly open my eyes and saw Jongin looking straight at me. All of a sudden,  it hits me, i was back in the real world.

"how long have i been sleeping?" I asked and yawn feeling a little stiffy.

"Like about five hours." he said with a worried face. He probably thought i wouldn't wake up. "I was waking you for like five minutes already. You must've been really tired "

"Really?" i asked in disbelief. I've never slept that long in daylight. I sat up straight and give him a small smile. Suddenly my stomach growls that startles the both of us. Jongin laughs so do I. In my dreams, i was about to eat in an alien restaurant, i wish i was able to eat first before he wakes me up. ugh..

"Oh. I'll cook dinner for us." He smile and give me a peck on my forehead before he went to the kitchen.

i must have gone insane, why would i dreamt the same person repeatedly...

While i was waiting for Kai to finish cooking, i took my phone and Googled something.

Dreaming of the Same person Every Night |

There are a lot of result came and i decided to click the first one entitled Dreaming of The Same Thing Every Night" and a few  more rticles popped up. I clicked the one that said Dream Continuity and started reading.

Dream Continuity: Picking Up Where You Left Off

Have you ever had a dream you wouldn't mind getting back to? Have you ever had a dream that left you feeling angry or upset and you wish you could change the dream's outcome? Have you ever been in the middle of dreaming something really pleasant that you would love to get a chance to finish? A technique I learned over the years as I was becoming proficient at lucid dreaming was the art of continuing a dream minutes, days, and even years after it has ended.

To continue a dream you had the night before do this:

1. Get ready for bed and make sure you're nice and tired and ready to go to sleep.

2. Lie down in your bed on your back with your eyes closed and replay the previous night's dream in your head, concentrating on every detail you can remember and how you felt in the dream.

3. Let yourself fall asleep when you get near to the point where your dream left off.

Now, it might take some practice and some confidence, but if you keep doing this I think you'll be surprised at how easy it is to return to a dream you've had previously. It's not a sure thing, but your success rate will increase with practice. I've been able to revisit a dream even years later. But you've got to remember the details of the dream and especially how you felt in the dream. For some reason, the emotional aspect of the dream is important for getting back to it.

No. That wasn't the answer to my question!

I keep on checking every articles but it doesn't solve the issue. I didn't intend to have the same dreams, it just happened without me knowing why.

It wasn't supposed to bring out my curiousity but a thought came into my mind, What if Lisa actually existed? What if she was true and everything that happens inside my head while i was asleep was part of being futuristic? Oh damn thats ridiculous!!

I typed Lisa Manoban on sns but i found nothing, there's a lot of Lisa, and few Manoban but no one shares the same name as her. What the actual fuck. why am i stressing my self over someone i didn't know.

"Jennie! The food is ready!" Jongin called me. Yeah, and i have a boyfriend over here!

We finished dinner at eight. Jongin was busy on his painting while im stucked again on the screen of my laptop. I couldn't help but remember Lisa.... again. The way she looked right into my eyes as she leaned forward to kiss me. The way her wet lips curved at the sight of my own mouth. I could still remember the feeling of herbreath against my face.

Maybe... just maybe... it would have been worth a shot. Maybe I should have made the most of the moment. I should have taken control. After all, it was only a dream, right?

If only I had known that I was dreaming. It would have caused no harm.

I let out a soft sigh as i stare on the bright screen. I've had lots of petty regrets in the past, but this one bugged me the most at this moment and worst, it was just from my dream.

"Shall we sleep?" Jongin came inside the room holding the small crumpled paper probably one of his scratchs. Glancing at the clock and it's already eleven.

"I'll just finish this." I faint a smile.

No matter how hard i tried, i know i won't be able to finish it if Lisa's face keeps on flashing on my mind.
