Ryeji Imagines

The mental Hwang

Fluff, little angsty. !TW! (?) diseases/disabilities & bullying

Ryujin POV

ADHD. Not only that, but also something that the doctors had ran several tests for, with failure as result. My girlfriend, Hwang Yeji, suffered from ADHD and something else that the doctors couldn't identify or the results just weren't clear. People have excluded her, made her stand out from the crowd and bullied her for a very long time. That wasn't even everything. Trauma's, therapy and recovery weren't anything new for her. I don't understand the people that make fun of her. Yeji is so...innocent.

Today is a really nice day and it would be a pity to not go out with Yeji to a cafe so I took her out. Such a bummer that it's the most popular cafe around our school, where the jocks and cheerleaders hang out after school.

"We also have to do our homework. I think that it would be the best to start with math, since you- baby? Hey...sweetheart?"

Yeah. And she gets distracted very easily. Kind of annoying sometimes but still very adorable.

Yeji blinked slowly and hummed, trying her best to pay attention, even though her attention was outside. I sighed softly and put my hand over hers, making her flinch slightly. She turned her head immediately and I smiled softly, getting the same smile back. "As I was saying, we have homework to do and we could start with math since you find that a little hard."

"It's not hard, it's impossible. I can't do it." She sighed and leaned back in her chair, looking back outside. I squeezed her hand gently, wordlessly asking for her attention. "Don't say that, babe. I'm sure that you can do it. Math is really hard but that doesn't mean that you can't do it. Everyone can learn math if they put effort it in." I assured, never wiping the sweet smile off of my face.

The taller sighed and rested her head on my shoulder, pouting like a small kid. I kissed her pout and smiled, seeing a small smile curve her lips. "I love you, okay? Don't give up on things so easily. I believe in you." I whispered, pressing another kiss to her lips.

"Isn't that the freak?"

"Yes, it's her. The mental Hwang."

"And her weird girlfriend."

I rolled my eyes and pulled Yeji a bit closer. Something was a bit off though. The first voice was so...unfamiliar. But I didn't dare to turn my head in case they were staring at us. I leaned closer to Yeji's ear and kissed it softly. "Do you want to go to my place? My mom asks for you for about...a week?" I whispered into her ear and tilted my head to look at her face. Yeji smiled and nodded, her eyes sparkling a little at the mention of my mom.

My mom and Yeji have a weird obsession with baking and they like to do it together so much that every time Yeji comes over, she leaves with a bag full of cookies and several containers with different cakes. And we would still have more than the half left. I can't complain, their baking skills are amazing.

"Come on, I'll pay for our coffees and we'll go. Alright?"

Yeji nodded and we stood up making our way to the counter. I grabbed my wallet and smiled, talking with the barista about the past few weeks. The barista is actually very nice, her name is Chaeryeong, I believe. I talked with her for a few minutes, chatting about the new outfit that she got and her dogs. She always had to bring her dogs up in every conversation we had. I can't blame her, her dogs were incredibly cute.

"Ryujin look, a butterfly!" Yeji squealed, tugging on my sleeve excitedly. I gently held her by her waist and she tried to squirm out of my grip. "Just a minute, Yeji. I'll pay and we-"

Yeji ran off, running towards the exit of the cafe to run after the butterfly. I quickly turned to Chaeryeong, wanting to tell her to wait a second but I heard a loud thud, followed but overly loud laughter. My head turned fast and I saw the jocks and the cheerleaders laughing while Yeji was getting up from the floor. I quickly ran to her, picking her up from the floor.
