Chapter 12: Chapter 12
Jongin's POV
After a few minutes of searching the entire resort, I finally saw a spot with full of lights. There were no one in here aside from the crews. The dark surrounding also helps to ease my anxiety but the smell of saltwater still lingers on me.
When I went closer, I saw a familiar girl in blue dress, shoulder length hair the same as Jennie's, Her hands wildly running through girls brown hair as they make out in the dark..
I squinted my eyes and looked closer, that's when I felt like a dagger had just stabbed my heart. It was Jennie... making out with someone , with a girl.
"Jennie!" I yelled.
But she didn't hear me. She still continued to makeout with the girl.
"Jennie!!" I shrieked, sitting up on the bed.
I turned around to find the empty space. My heart drops before i realized i was in the studio.
Everything was just a dream. Holy shit!
I run back to our room and saw Jennie sleeping peacefully.
"Baby?" I whispered, lying back down beside her, sliding my arm inside the blanket and wrapping it around her bare waist. The sound of my heart beating so fast could have been enough to wake her up, but it didn't. The sides of her mouth were twitching a bit, but she looked like she was in a really deep sleep.
I stayed in that position as I closed my eyes again and tried to sleep. Her breathtaking aroma was enough to calm me down a bit.
However, I still couldn't help but feel a quite bothered. Not just because she was making out with someone in my dream this time, but also because it seemed so fucking real.
Jennie's POV
My heart feels heavy when i found out that im back to reality. Im losing my grip between the real world and dreams, this fantasy is already affecting me, slowly but big time.
The window glass reflects the another day will begin from thr world of mine. I look at my alarm clock and its already eight in morning.
I slept for hours and its enough time to bring joy and pain inside me. Joy because im so thankful of Lisa, and pain because it wasn't all real.
I tried but I can't bring myself back to sleep. I heard the door from the next room open, Kai must've been awake already. The door opens and i immediately shut my eyes pretending that i was asleep.
I know im not good in pretending so i fake a yawn and open my eyes meeting his.
"Oh. did i wake you up?" he asked.
"Not really." i replied shortly.
Kai smile sweetly like he's been under some though thought. I've waited for him to talk about our fight but he didn't.
He gave me a doubtful look. But slowly his lips formed into a faint smile. "Are you okay? You look stressed?"
I don't know if he's aware that we just had a small fight last night.
"Nothing, just work, sorry about last night."
"forget it." he smile and caress my cheek.
A lump in my throat started to form. "okay"
"Do you want to tell me what's bugging you about work?"
"Not really. It's just the usual stuff that I'm really not interested in discussing," I shook my head. I couldn't possibly tell him the real reason why I was acting this way. He'd think I was not only mental, but also unfaithful in a weird and unexplainable way.
"I'm sorry for snapping at you," he pouted. "I didn't mean to. It was just the stress and the paranoia combined."
I leaned forward to kiss his soft lips. "It's all good. Let's not talk about it anymore."
In the back of my mind, I was hoping that Kai would just let it go. I already felt like the world's worst girlfriend, and I didn't want to talk about anything that would confirm that even more.
"Lets have a breakfast out before we go to Seoul?," he suggested.
"That sounds perfect since I'm not in the mood to cook this morning." I nodded as I followed him out the room. But the truth was that there was only one thing I wanted to do right now . . . . sleep.
I've never felt so torn in my life. Half of me is saying that I should not take Kai for granted, and that I should be grateful that I have him. The other half is this annoying feeling that's been bugging me since day one, and that was Lisa. I was going crazy. She's all I could see, whether I'm dreaming or awake. She's been occupying my damn thoughts and I had no control over it.
Would it be considered cheating if the person I was cheating on Kai with technically did not exist? No one would find out. Unless they do some creepy sort of magic on me where they could enter my thoughts, but so far, I'm the only weirdo here so I doubt anyone would try that on me.
See, why am I even thinking about this? I'm a bullshit. I've always thought guys were complete assholes but now guess what – I am too. I just want to curl myself into a ball and roll into one corner and cry there until I drown myself in my tears because clearly I was losing it.
Maybe I should see a psychiatrist? Yes. I definitely should. I will put that on my schedule, which does not exist, but I will make one.
I need to start thinking straight. At least for today. I'm spending time with my boyfriend and I need to act normal.
We left for the Exhibit after an hour of breakfast, and when we got there, Taemin was ready.
There were a couple of people standing outside, having a chat. My eyes instantly went to a familiar looking. I scratched my eyes, making sure that I wasn't dreaming anymore. When I realized that I was awake, and this was actually happening, I felt my heart drop to my toes.
It was Mino.
"Jennie are you okay?" Kai tugged at my shirt.
I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was Mino.The Mino in my dream. If he existed in real life... there was a huge possibility that Lisa did too, and that was the main reason why I haven't moved a single muscle.
He passed by us and our eyes met but he didn't react at all, as if im a complete stranger to him which is i really am.
My mind started to race. All the dots were starting to connect. He was the same Mino in my dream, except he didn't know me. I follow him by my eyes until he gets lost in my sight.
Oh my god Jennie act normal atleast for once!
I looked around the gallery that was starting to get packed with guests. I hadn't expected this many people to show up. I didn't even know more than quarter of them.
"Jen!!" Irene and Seulgi came and gave me a hug.
"Kai!" Seulgi raised hand to give him a fist bump. "Congrats, man. I knew you'd be big one day."
Irene nodded, as her eyes roamed around the interior of the gallery. "This place is huge. Don't forget us when you're famous, yeah?"
"Of course I won't," he let out a chuckle.
"Kai," Taemin tug at Kai's arm right after he had hit send. "They're calling you. It's time for your speech."
We walk towards the entrance hand in hand. Everyone was looking at us, expecting Kai to walk in front of the ribbon and talk. And so he did.
"H-hi," Jongin spoke through the mic, sounding a bit nervous. He hated doing public speeches. "I want to thank all of you for turning up today. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that I would have my very own exhibit."
Everyone was looking at him like as if I was some cute little puppy that they were so proud of. I want to do the same thing too but im still caught up by Mino.
"The main reason why I've always wanted to hold my own exhibit is because I wanted people to see what was going on it my mind and in my heart," he went on. "Each of these paintings tell their own story. If it's an abstract, there's a reason why it's an abstract. It's because that day I made it, I felt like a mess. Unrefined and lost. But a lot of these paintings were outcomes of happy situations in my life. I never really had it all growing up. I lived a normal life, earned slightly above minimum wage, and I still do actually. But despite all of that, I was happy, because I had my amazing supporters by my side."
He turned to Taemin, who was proudly standing straight to his right. "My best buddy in the whole world, Tae, has always been here for me since day one. He was actually the first person to find out that I could actually create art. It was by accident, but then that's a long story so let's not go there."
As Kai continues his speech, i saw the person my eyes 've been looking. It was Mino standing on the side. Maybe he knows something, he just act like he didn't.
"Unnie, I'll just go to the toilet." I whispers to Irene before i excuse myself.
I sneak to where i saw Mino is and there i reached him
"Uhm Excuse me?" i poke him that made him look at me.
"Yes?"
"Hi. do you know me?" oh my god that's a stupid question Jennie!
"I'm not sure. But you're the one with the artist right?" He smiles just like how he did on my dream.
"Ah yeah yeah you're right." I shake my head realizing im already embarrassing myself. "My name is Jennie. Kim Jennie. Kai's girlfriend" i tried making it right.
"Oh wow. You're boyfriend is a great artist. Well, Nice meeting you Jennie. Im Song Mino." his name is the same, it was really him. He offers a handshake and i blink multiple times before taking it.
Just get to the point Jen!!
"So whar can i do for you Ms. Kim?" he politely asked.
The Mino in my dream is kind of bubbly.
"Hmm i know we just met today but perhaps do you know anyone named Lisa?" i asked. He gave me a blank stare, like as if he had no clue who i was talking.
"I know few whos name is Lisa." he nods maybe trying to remember all the Lisa he met. But the fact that he knew someone named Lisa brings hope to me, that probably Lisa was real too.
"Uhm Lisa. Lisa Manoban.thats her name." I've waited for him to nod and tell me he knows her.
"Lisa Manoban?"
