Minji Imagines (gxg)

you have POTS (requested)

"Minji, baby?" You spoke as you gazed up at your girlfriend from where your head rested on her chest as she played with your hair.

"Yes, baby?"

"Do you want something to drink? I'm thirsty and figured I'd get something for you too if you wanted something." You said.

"Sure. Maybe some water." She said before kissing your lips softly. "Thank you for asking, my love."

You nodded as you got up from the sofa, only to clutch the arm of it with a tight grip.

"Baby, are you okay?" She asked as she stood up and put her hand on the small of your back.

"I'm fine. I just got dizzy." You mumbled. "My heart is racing."

"It's your POTS. Lay back down."

"But-"

"No, don't argue with me. I know that lying down helps relieve the symptoms. You need to rest. I'll get us some water in a minute but please, just lay down." She pleaded as she gazed at you with worried eyes.

You knew she was right.

And you knew that if you didn't lie down, you would probably end up fainting.

So you did as she said.

You laid back down on the couch and she grabbed the blanket to cover you up, just for some extra comfort.

"There we go, sweet girl. How are you feeling?" She asked as she stroked your cheek. "Is your heart beating less rapidly now? Are you less dizzy?"

"Yeah." You said. "I'm feeling better."

"That's great to hear, darling." She said as she watched you with worry still in her eyes.

She can't help but worry about you.

You told her about your POTS pretty early on in your relationship and now, ten months later, she's still just as caring and attentive as always.

She's also still just as concerned because she knows how bad it gets sometimes.

POTS, or postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, is something that's triggered when a person stands up after lying down.

The symptoms aren't terrible but for your girlfriend, they're very scary and worrying.

They include lightheadedness, fainting, and rapid heartbeat, and the symptoms are relieved by lying down again.

Minji is always worried because she knows it's serious and you have fainted a couple of times in the past from it, passing out right into her arms.

She always takes such good care of you and makes sure that when you need to lie down, you always lie down.

You could see the concern in her eyes as she gazed at you and just watched you closely.

"I'm okay, baby. I promise." You said as you took her hand.

"Okay." She said. "I'm sorry. I just get so scared sometimes." She whispered. "Seeing that happen to you makes me nervous. I don't want you to faint again.":

"I won't, my love. I'm alright. I know it's scary and I know you worry about me but I promise I'm doing okay. I feel better."

She looked so relieved as the words left your lips.

"Can you please get me some ice water? I'm really thirsty."

"Of course, my love. I'll be right back. Don't move even a finger while I'm gone." She said and kissed your forehead before walking out of the living room.

You stayed still while she was in there, just watching the TV and waiting for her to return.

And when she came back a minute later, she had two glasses of ice water in her hands.

"Here, I'll help you." She said as she put her glass down and helped you take a few sips from the straw she put in the glass. "I tried to make it as easy for you as possible."

"Thank you, baby. You're the best girlfriend in the world." You smiled after taking a few sips.

"Anything for my girl." She said and kissed your forehead. "Feeling up for some cuddles?"

"Always."

She laid back down with you and held you in her arms.

And for the rest of the day, she did everything she could for you.

And when you had to get up to use the bathroom or to go up to bed when night came around, she had you take it easy and take your time.

She helped you every step of the way and made sure you were cared for and knew that she was there for you.

Always.
