I got you (1/1)

Joshua thanked the waiter for his drink. Aimlessly he looked at the glass windows wondering where the hell would he go. He didn’t want to go home and he didn’t want to crash his friends’ houses. They’d ask why, then their parents would ask why. Then it would dissolve into pity and Joshua didn’t want that.He could imagine Soonyoung’s dad making sad faces like his son and the two of them would enfold Joshua in hugs and pats on the back. Soonyoung’s mom would make noises of sympathy and she’d say unsavory things about his dad and feed him until his stomach burst.Vernon’s parents would nice, accommodating, quiet about his situation. His mom would make sad noises and give him advice on things. They would talk about the differences in America and Korea and it’d be nice to talk to someone who lived in the same country as he did, even if they were a good two to three generation gaps apart. They’d worry about the bruises; Vernon letting out whoops of surprise and perhaps joy that Joshua got into a fight. Especially since he thought Joshua would never raise his fists. And Sophia would make sad faces and want to comfort Joshua.Mingyu’s parents would be too rigid. Not somewhere he should go to for help. Not that they weren’t nice. They were just too traditional. He met them once or twice when they dropped Mingyu off from one of their hang outs. The way Mingyu’s mom looked at him. Like he wasn’t meant to be outside so late when it was only seven at night. Not a place he should go to.Jihoon’s parents were nice, like Soonyoung’s. They were lovely people and they would be happy to let Joshua in but he didn’t want to disturb them either.Ugh. And he couldn’t ask Minghao either. The boy was living with some distant relatives until he could move out.But he couldn’t stay out the whole night. He was too young for that. Well if he thought about it, it was more like he didn’t have the knowledge of how safe it was to stay out late. Being omega and all. Sipping on his cup of coffee he wracked his brain for possible people to hit up. All he had were his friends. Joshua scrolled down his list of contacts, stopping at Jeonghan’s name.Pulling a face, he thought, dare he. Jeonghan wouldn’t blab to his dad. But did Joshua want to be around Jeonghan. But he only had so much money. Damn.Joshua stared at the screen.
