High School Sweet Hearts (Ryeji)

Chapter 3

"Oh God, oh God." Yeji put her back against the door as she chanted again and again. "Shin Ryujin is outside my house. Ryujin is outside my house. Ryujin is outside my-"

A knock was heard. "Hwang Yeji?" Ryujin's unsure voice came muffled through the door.

"God, she knows my name!" Yeji whisper shouted and looked around to find a pillow to scream into. She went to the living room quickly and buried her face in a cushion. She squealed loudly, not believing what the hell was happening.

"Shit I should let her inside." Yeji lifted her face up and fixed her glasses before opening the front door again to still see Ryujin and her little sister glued to her legs.

"Yuna, come over here." Yeji crouched down and pried the girl from Ryujin's legs.

The girl laughed and winked at Yeji before running into the house.

"So, you're Hwang Yeji?" Ryujin asked when Yeji straightened herself up and finally looked her in the eyes. Yeji nodded her head shyly.

"Uhm, w-what are you doing here?" Yeji asked, her voice barely above a whisper. It took some time for Ryujin to answer to question, since she was busy staring at how pretty Yeji looked.

"Oh, sorry. Actually I'm here because you're going to be my tutor. The principal arranged all this because I'm kind of failing and you know-"

Yeji zoned out at that. "I'm gonna be Ryujin's tutor?!" She screamed in her head.

"So, we cool?" Yeji looked up at Ryujin to see her smiling brightly. Yeji had to hold on to the door so she wouldn't physically swoon at that. "Y-Yes of course. Please come in."

The basketball player chuckled and stepped into the house. "You know, I'm happy that it was you who turned out to be my tutor. I couldn't stop thinking about you since yesterday." She casually mentioned as she walked in front of Yeji, looking around the house.

The brunette almost peed in her pants but managed to hold it together since her mom poked her head out of the kitchen to see Ryujin.

"Oh, who's this? I didn't know you were having company over Yeji?" She questioned, wiping her hands on her apron and extending it for a handshake.

Ryujin bowed and shook her hand. "I'm Ryujin and I go to the same school as Yeji. I actually came over without telling her. She's going to be my tutor starting from now, if that's okay with you, Mrs. Hwang?" The basketball player.

"Hey, I think I've seen you before." Yeji's mom said. "Oh you're Shin Ryujin? The captain of the B-ball team!" She exclaimed. Yeji groaned quietly. "No one says B-ball mom." She said quietly. Ryujin laughed loudly at that.

"And don't call me Mrs. Hwang, makes me sound too old. Call me Chaerin. CL for short." "No, no one's going to call you CL, mom." Yeji interrupted again.

"Thank you Mrs- I mean Chaerin. So, will it be alright if Yeji tutors me for a short while?" Ryujin asked once again.

"Of course it's alright. It'll be nice for Yeji to have some more friends over-"

"Let's just head upstairs." Yeji takes hold of Ryujin's hand and hops up the stairs, dragging Ryujin behind her. Trying to ignore the butterflies flying around in her stomach and the soft feeling of the younger's hand.

She brought them both to their room and shut the door behind her, hoping that her mom doesn't follow them.

Ryujin yawns loudly, stretching out her arms. "Sorry, just running on low sleep today." She said, looking at Yeji. The basketball player looks around the room before gingerly sitting on the edge of the girl's bed.
