Ryujin hates hospitals. Who fucking likes hospitals?
She laid back in the hospital bed as much as she could, the nurse changed the bed position so Ryujin could sit up more. But she sat with hatred, hating the fucking fabric of this stupid hospital gown, the pillows under her head sitting her up, the blankets over her legs, the stupid monitor thing on her finger, the silence being interrupted by the tv propped on the wall.
Staring out the window, watching the birds fly through the morning sky, Andrew was asleep on a sofa in the room, and so was Yuna in a separate chair. The circles around her eyes showed the distress she went through the day before. Now, she was calm, just peacefully taking in the nature outside.
"Ok..." She heard from the door of her hospital room, she looked over and smiled lightly at the sight of Yeji holding two Dairy Queen oreo blizzards in her hands, both being mediums. The large size is just too big for them. "I asked your doctor, and since it's only your leg and arm that is hurt, she said I can give this to you. And since you're going home today and everything." Yeji explained, sitting on the bed with Ryujin and handing her the ice cream treat.
"Thank you, Yeji..." Ryujin said. Yeji smiled bigger, finally seeing her smile. But her lips fell when she saw the cup shake in Ryujin's hands, she could barely hold the spoon. Ryujin sighed, holding the cup in her lap and putting the spoon in the ice cream to hold it there. She shook her hands with frustration. "They won't stop shaking..."
Yeji put her cup down on the bedside table and held the cup and spoon for her, "Here." she said, beginning to feed Ryujin slowly. The raven haired one had one of her hands gripping the loose hem of Yeji's long sleeve shirt, it just brought her comfort, kept her in this reality. The reality where she is safe and with her biggest crush, best friend, and dad. She may be in a place she hates, but she's leaving today and she'd rather be in this hospital than the other one.
"Oh my god... this is the best breakfast of my life right now." Ryujin mumbled after the first bite, then she eyed Yeji's cup. "Yours is gonna melt..."
"That's ok, you need to eat. Well- this isn't the healthiest, but you need it more than I do." Yeji shrugged, giving Ryujin another bite.
Ryujin reached for Yeji's cup and spoon anyway, stabilizing it in her thighs and taking deep breaths to calm her hands down enough. Then they were able to feed each other the ice cream.
Andrew woke up silently in the middle of it, finding it sweet. He watched silently, admiring their friendship, until they began speaking, unaware of his consciousness.
"I'm still not sure about Elijah..." Yeji spoke, hoping to get Ryujin's mind off of her trauma.
"What do you mean? Did you talk to him?" Ryujin responded.
"Mhm... it ended with me basically ending our friendship."
"What??"
"Yeah... I thought it was over. My car broke down in their drive way and as I was waiting for my Uber, he came out of the house and stopped me from leaving. He apologized profusely and said he didn't want to lose anyone else in his lifetime. He didn't give me a direct blessing, he just asked for a bit of time. And I'm giving it to him. He wants to keep us both as friends, but he's just not ready to see us together yet. And I want him as a friend again too, so I'm willing to wait. I want the old Elijah back."
"Mm..." Ryujin relaxed a bit, still find it ridiculous that Eli said he needed more time but she didn't say anything about it. "I want him back too. He really was a great friend, he just had a bad year last year. Does he know about all of this?"
"Yeah... I called him last night and told him, but I told him what Andrew told me. Your mom is the only other person they'd allow in because Andrew doesn't like him anymore, so he decided to wait in Boca to see you. If he doesn't get on his knees, rub his hands together, cry, and apologize profusely, I'm seriously just going to drop him."
