Seoha's POV
Twice's Cheer up is playing from inside the house now while I am torn between bursting into laughter and bursting into tears.
To laugh or not to laugh?
To cry or not to cry?
"Hello? Seoha are you there?" my lawyer asks like he didn't just support my 'family' in the ruin of my life.
"Lawyer Kim, what's going to happen to me now?" I ask him calmly, gripping the phone tightly in my hand.
How can he make such a mistake?
"Every evidence they brought looked real! I will look into the case…" I end the call before he says anything more.
Did I just become homeless in one day?
As if it plans to rub salt into my fresh injury, the sky opens and it begins to shower lightly, making tears well up in my eyes.
I look up at the sky as it rumbles and lightning flashes across the sky. I stay there frozen for a few seconds. What direction do I even run in?
I look back to my parent's house, where a new song I'm unfamiliar with is starting to play.
My parent's home no longer belongs to them or me- thank you aunty Cho, cousin Riwoo and cousin Jiwoo.
My own house is no longer an option- thank you dear lying scumbag of ex boyfriend.
My best friend's house is out of the list- he would be at work right now.
"Ah really" I mutter to myself as I stare at the floor, watching water pool at my feet through blurred vision.
What do I do?
Maybe I was too rash, if only I had checked the weather forecast, I would have postponed the breakup till tomorrow.
The rain grows heavy and I drag myself with my bags to stand under the canopy of a small shop.
"Who are you? Get lost!" the elderly man who owns the shop yells at me and I glare at him.
"I'm just hiding from the rain" I say to him, unwilling to move away from the shelter.
The dye is starting to wash out of my hair, adding black spots and stains to my white shirt and washing all the way down to shoes.
The man doesn't care about my state, my omega whines inside of me as the old man glares at me like I'm a robber.
"Find a hotel, get out!" the shop owner says and points his finger down the road. I let out a tired sigh and slowly begin to move.
I can't just hang around anywhere, I haven't eaten all day and my boyfriend has always been the one in charge of our money.
To make things worse, I'm not wearing my collar or the smell of any alpha, this one mistake would make me an easy prey to senseless alphas.
I'm a male omega in a world of misogynistic assholes.
I press my hand to my neck and let out another painful whine, A chill runs through me as I remember the touch of that alpha on my skin the one day I went home late, and I remember how Daeshin had shown up on time for me.
The rain keeps pounding down on me as I run as fast as I can, crossing the road with tears streaming down my face till I arrive at an hotel.
I stand outside of it, counting down the seconds to when they would notice and kick me out.
Carefully, I place my wet bag of clothes and the guitar bag to the floor next to me and begin to wring out my clothes.
I'm drenched from rain and crying, I know if I keep crying, I will only make things worse so I wipe my face as best as I can.
"Urghh" I groan and try pulling the clothes off my body, the poor shirt is soaked through and is almost becoming transparent.
'Home' my omega says and I sigh, I have no response, we both know there is no home but we both know home is safe.
I need to find a way to get to safety, or else, tonight might turn out badly.
I look around me to see if anyone is coming yet to kick me off the property. With the absence of threats, I sigh and put myself together for survival, I squint my eyes and try to look through the automatic doors of the hotel.
What if I tell them I'm a celebrity?
A gust of wind makes me shudder and I make up my mind, I will pretend to be a celebrity, and tell them my manager is coming, maybe I can be given a room for the night.
Good thing I have this guitar.
"The only reason they got away on the first try is because you let them" a deep and powerful voice stops my actions and my omega perks up.
I look over my shoulder and see a tall and wickedly handsome man with one hand in his pocket and the other holding up his phone to his ears.
Being stereotypical is wrong but everything tells me that this man is an alpha; something about his posture, his body build and most especially the wallet peeking out of his pocket.
That wallet looks like it contains so much money and I can't take my eyes off it at all.
'Seoha' my omega calls like a mother warning her child before he does something silly.
I shut my eyes and apologize to the supreme beings of the universe, I can't possibly walk away…I'm hungry, I don't have a place to stay and I'm an omega.
This man doesn't look like he would mind if a few wons go missing, his watch alone seems expensive enough to buy my meal for the next one year.
'Seoha' my omega warns again with a growl but I take the steps, pleading with the universe to be kind to me.
I promise I'll be good after this, once I'm back on my feet, I'll do charity work for two months.
Stealthily, I snatch the wallet out of his pocket, but the man is more alert than he looks as he grabs my wrist and turns around immediately.
Our eyes meet for a second and my mouth falls open.
'RUN SEOHA RUN' my brain screams at me.
