college boyfriend!joshua
Tumblr media
a/n: special thanks to @choco-seventeen for giving me the idea of barista!josh which ended up being the best idea ever,,, get rdy to die yall
here it is, our long awaited gentleman of seventeen!! requested by this darling~
i’ve never written anything for josh (which is appalling) and seeing as he’s now,,, like a bias,, i mean i kinda have to don’t i
i’m going to pretend that a straight week of searching for joshua scenarios did not help encourage this
so, lovely josh has always had a love for animation
ever since he was a baby, he’s always found a joy in watching cartoons, so his parents always put on some colorful children’s movie for him whenever he got fussy, or when he’d wake in the middle of the night from a terrifying dream and he’d need some calming down
this kind of comfort of seeing characters of all colors, shapes and sizes gave joshua an abundant imagination as a child. he always found he liked the fantastical feeling of animation that live action didn’t really provide him
anything could happen in animation, and anyone could be anything and look anyway that they liked, which was part of the appeal for him
as he got older, he was exposed to anime (lol) and he found that he enjoyed the more mature animation just as much as the kind marketed for children
and he didn’t discriminate either! he could watch anything from tokyo ghoul and death note to your lie in april and haikyuu!! 
but his favorite kind of animation lied in the love of studio ghibli films
something about the wonder of each film enthralled joshua so much as a teen, bringing him the nostalgia of his childhood that he loved so much
to all of his friends in high school, they had always expected joshua to get a stable, lackluster office job and stay in california with his family, which, originally, was the plan
but the films had inspired him to take a leap, so after applying to a few universities in seoul and getting accepted to the good majority, josh finished up two years of college in california before packing up everything he had and all the money he’d saved from odd jobs through his high school/college career and booked a flight straight to seoul, south korea
he obviously wasn’t flying completely blind, as he did have a friend living there already by the name of vernon
long story short on how the two met, bonding over xbox live can lead to long-lasting friendships ok
after a few years of friendship, countless nights of Skype calls and planning to meet one day, joshua had taken the first step and vernon’s family were more than happy to let joshua stay with them until he could get onto his own two feet (not that there’s any rush!! vernon totally doesn’t mind having an older brother around)
joshua was no stranger to korea either, having been taught korean since a young age by his parents, so he was pretty much set to start his new life in korea, even if his parents were pretty sad to see him go so far and so soon
they knew joshua had been a good kid his whole life, and he was making sure every connection and plan he had for his new life was laid out just right so he wouldn’t make things hard on himself and his family, and that was all they could really ask of him
for the summer before school started in korea, vernon takes to making sure joshua is settled in and at least semi-good at making his way around seoul without a problem
there was that one time,,, where he did get lost for like five hours and showed up back at the chwe house with an assortment of baked goods and sweets and exclaiming that “this stuff is so much better than the stuff in california!!”
vernon: you realize that we all thought you were dead right
josh: *blink blink* hm? :)))
but i mean before vernon knows it, joshua is freakishly adapted to life there and he’s suddenly like a local, making friends with literally everyone he meets because everyone is so fascinated by the american boy!! yet it’s funny cause the way josh saw it, vernon was v similar to him in a lot of ways, so he was a lil overwhelmed to find all of vernon’s friends were like !!! a foreigner !!! tell us everything
and sure, vernon hadn’t been to america since he was about five except to visit family, but they were all sooooo excited to hear about things from joshua’s perspective compared to the younger boy’s
so josh obliged, always talking about his experiences overseas and the other kids would be like :o or :D because!!! to josh that was all just boring everyday stuff to him but to them this was all so cool and interesting, and the way they felt about america was the same way josh felt about korea tbh
after a year in college in seoul, joshua was well settled down at the school
since he’s like,,, one of the best english speakers in school (save for a handful of other students who were bilingual their whole lives, foreigners, or just really good at the subject asjdijisa) he’s always willing to help his friends out with english class projects and he coaches them by speaking to them in english at random intervals
like they’ll be having a completely korean conversation and then all of a sudden josh is like “explain the plot to howl’s moving castle in english” and they’re like o shit here we go
but it’s really helpful??? they all get amazing grades bc of his pop quizes
all hail english professor hong jisoo
but, ok, everyone is so confused because that’s….. not what he goes to college for
like he’s verbalized that he loves learning and that being an english teacher in korea would be great for him bc he loves to show people the joy of learning! but animation was his first love
he’s v passionate about it, and he’s made several short films where the characters were stylized after his friends and their experiences (with their permission of course)
he actually did one on jun’s story of coming to korea for the first time as a chinese transfer student and entered it in a small film contest and won!! and jun was so happy that he cried ok
joshua was on skype with jun to jun’s family back in china and they were all gushing about the film after josh emailed it to them
basically if joshua ever needs to flee to another country, jun’s home is open jun’s mom said joshua has privilege of jun’s room before jun does
despite being really good at animating though, joshua is actually kinda shy about showing his work. he’s even shy showing it to his friends with the exception of vernon and jeonghan, the latter of which passive-aggressively convinced joshua to do it and is now joshua’s biggest hype man
“jisooooo. jun got a movie and I didn’t??” “…what would a movie about you even be about? you don’t do anything but sleep” “it could have been about how much you love me!!”
to placate him joshua showed all the lil drawings of chibi!jeonghan joshua had done over the year and jeonghan wouldn’t stop smiling and hugging josh all day jfc
jk jk tho jeonghan is super supportive and whenever people ask him (or don’t. they usually don’t ask but whom the fuk cares jeonghan says) about joshua, jeonghan just guuuushes about the boy and all of his great art and shows them joshua’s v tentative instagram page of his art. there’s only a few pics of outlines and some small clips of films he puts together, but jeonghan will gas his boy up so bad you’d think joshua already had an oscar
on the side, joshua has a job at the campus coffee shop
and like,, idk if you understand just how much of an accumulator of revenue that boy’s face is??
joshua is pretty humble so whenever his friends tease him and say that most of the customers that come to the coffee shop are there for his face, he downright refuses
but i mean,,, it’s true,, the majority of customers come during joshua’s shifts
and if josh isn’t working, it’s like a funeral home
it gets so bad the school is like “do u wanna like work here forever bc we’re totally down with that”
josh is like “lol no”
but he’s really good at his job and not many ppl notice that!! some jealous dudes think the only reason ppl even buy coffee from the shop is bc josh is serving it and they’re deluding themselves into drinking it, but josh is actually an amazing barista
u kinda get creative with coffee when you’re living off of it to graduate ajsiodha
he’s also king of latte art don’t fight me on this
he was playing around in the back one day on his break when he got an idea to make some art in a latte, bc he was at a creative loss with his art on paper, and he just made this v simple couple of hearts here and there, and then suddenly he was making all kinds of designs that ppl loved
his favorite is a little cat design that is so friggin cute ok. everyone loves it
everyone except you,,, who had no idea this was even a thing
between classes on certain days, you have about two hours of free time to yourself, so you like to escape to your favorite coffee place to study and relax
you usually didn’t like to go during this certain time in the day bc the shop was always bustling with customers and you really rather preferred to be in a smaller crowd. so basically, you’ve never seen joshua
you haven’t even heard of him bc you’ve always been pretty in your head when it comes to your studying time
u basically zone out the minute you can smell the coffee beans
but a friend of yours held you up in your last class, so your two hour break diminished to fifteen minutes, and you still hadn’t had your coffee
you practically bolt toward the coffee shop, but your eyes bug out of your head when you notice that for once, there’s a huge crowd of students there, something that never happens when you’re there
so like, groaning internally, you force yourself into line before anyone else can get in front of you and delay you even further
but like… the line is moving at snail’s pace
you can barely see up front, all you know is that someone is taking their sweet time making coffees
in fact, 70% of your time is swallowed up just waiting for the line to move up
you’re jittery, knowing class starts soon and you already don’t have that much time to book it to your next class at this rate, but you have to have your coffee
finally,,, you reach the front….. and….
“hi there! what can I get you this lovely afternoon?”
in the words of jeonghan again, whom the fuk-
“u-hhuhhhuuu hhh ????” 
windows has shut down unexpectedly
this beautiful specimen of a man is smiling down at you without a worry in the world, blinking softly with the longest, prettiest eyelashes you’ve ever seen on a guy
his hair is short and well kept, roots dark and colored with highlights of chestnut throughout
he’s in the uniform but that’s really only black slacks and a half apron; he’s wearing a really nice baby blue dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows and his collarbones are just slightly exposed with only two buttons undone at the collar- !!
“do you need a minute?” he asks, looking concerned at your vacant expression
that seems to snap you out of it (or maybe the frustrated swears from behind you do), and you sheepishly apologize, spitting out the first thing that comes to mind, which is definitely not your usual order, “small latte, please”
his eyes light up when you answer, “would you like the art too?”
you furrow your brows and he stares at you for a good moment before he realizes,, wow u really don’t know about his latte art? that’s literally all ppl come here during his shift for
but he does notice he’s never actually seen you during his shifts before
hmm. interesting
“i… i do latte art. it’s kind of… sort of a thing? i don’t know, um, would you like me to make you something in particular?” he says, suddenly a little flustered
you know. you know deep in your heart that you have zero time to spare and that you really shouldn’t be late for this class… but also,,, why the heck not
“surprise me!” you say softly, letting out a breath you didn’t know you were holding
joshua perks up and he nods (probably harder than he should have) and quickly puts in your order for your latte 
you quickly scoot to the side and another boy takes over in his place as he turns to make your coffee, and you can’t help but watch his calm, gentle hands as he prepares it
there’s no rush in him, no sloppiness detected, and you can tell he takes pride in his craft
he pours the steamed milk with no difficulty, pouring it with such smooth precision that it hypnotizes you, even as he’s half turned from you and you can barely see what he makes
it’s only when he’s done and handing over your coffee with a smile that you realize,, you’re holding a mug
you forgot to ask for a to-go cup!
but like,,, if you put it in a to-go cup now, it’ll ruin his art
yet, you’re so late for class already……..
he looks at you with even more concern when he just catches you staring at the small tulip etched into the surface of the coffee, and he’s about to ask if you’re alright when you suddenly smile at him and say “you’re beautiful”
in ur mind, you’ve just told him the art he made in your coffee was beautiful
it takes u like,, eight seconds to register that is not what you said AT ALL
but by the time you realize your mistake and wordlessly try to motion to the cup he’s already laughing gently behind his hand, eyes locked on yours, and when he’s done he says “i’m sorry, i’m not making fun of you… you’re just… very sweet. i hope you enjoy the coffee”
part of u still wants to correct yourself, maybe save some of your pride, but instead, you simply sigh and accept his compliment that low (high) key makes your heart beat a little faster, and you quickly whisper a “thanks again!!” before skedaddling
and josh just watches with a soft smile, and can’t seem to get the strange new customer out of his head even after his shift
he doesn’t even mention that you’ve stolen the mug when his co-worker asks about it in bewildered confusion
“just say I broke it” he tells him, and goes back to work like nothing happened
the next day, you come in much earlier and find that the shop is void of a crowd, much to your relief and quieter dismay
holding in your hands the mug that you had washed and stared at in disbelieving horror the whole night in your dorm, you walk up to the counter and hold out the mug to the cashier, her eyebrows furrowing in confusion when you start to ashamedly explain exactly how you had snuck out one of the mugs
but before you can even get anything out, josh suddenly appears from the back, tying his apron just as he spots you and he goes “oh!! hey, mug stealer”
your face flashes in mortification
“i swear it was an accident-” “don’t worry, no hard feelings. I already covered for you so I mean, it’s practically yours anyway. you didn’t have to bring it back”
but you still hold it out, sighing “it made me feel bad, ok? i can’t look at this shame cup anymore”
joshua snorts bc
shame cup
ur too fucking cute for him
“ok, well, let’s make it not so shameful” he says, carefully taking the mug from you and going over to the coffee machine “latte, right? same as usual?” he throw over his shoulder
the girl at the cashier actually knows you, has served you for the last few years, so she shakes her head and tells him that’s not your usual, which makes him a little surprised and he apologizes, saying that he’s since switched around shifts with someone else so he’s still adjusting, so he’s about to ask you what you usually get when you blurt “latte’s fine!” 
and ok, yeh, you’re not getting a latte for him of course
obviously
he just smiles that beautiful smile and gets to work, and the cashier gives you a small, very indiscreet wink much to your chagrin
you shuffle to the side and watch joshua work again, smiling as he gets ready to pour the milk, when he asks what kind of art you’d like
“can I have… wait, what are you good at?” “hm, well, my favorite is a kitty” “kitty it is!”
he quietly makes your kitty, lip tucked between his teeth and you can tell he’s working hard 
he sets the cup before you (this time in a foam cup, just in case you have to run and didn’t remember to tell him again), and watches with pride as you beam at the art, your eyes shining
before you even think about it, you’re whipping out your phone and snapping a photo of it for instagram, before you realize you don’t simply want to credit “random handsome campus barista” for something as beautiful as that
“what’s your name?” you ask, and joshua tells you, and you quickly type down his name in the caption before tapping the photo to add a tag “do you have a instagram?”
and though he rarely ever uses it unless jeonghan prompts him to, joshua spells out his username for you and you tag him successfully, posting the photo just as joshua’s back pocket vibrates with a notification
“thank you so much, joshua. you’re really good at this you know” 
and josh hears it from everyone a lot. all of his customers and co-workers compliment him often so it’s not like he’s unaware of his talent
but there’s just something about the fact that you complimented him that makes him blush, but he just bows a little at you and thanks you softly as you depart to find a table to start studying
of which,,, u do not do lol
even tho it’s barely 10 posts, you spend quite a while looking through joshua’s instagram
they’re mainly shots of his art, of which you soon find out that his major is animation and film development
the captions are v minimalist, but in the comments to his friends and others who’d found his insta, he’s cutely gushing with lots of exclamation marks and the like about how his work is coming along, having casual convos about the others and how their lives are going, and responding to compliments with v heartfelt thanks
because he doesn’t post much, you check the posts he’s tagged in and see a bunch of candid, secret pics of him from all kinds of funny angles, most from students and some parody ones from his friends
by the time you decide to check how much time you have left until your next class, you find you’ve got about a half hour to cram whatever you were going to study within two hours into half of one and get to your lecture on time
so as fast as your legs will allow, you quickly hit follow on his instagram and stuff everything you have back into your bag before sprinting out, missing joshua’s small goodbye and wave in your haste
he smiles anyway, and later when he gets off his shift, he checks his notifications and finds he has a new follower… you
he totally misses everything his professor says looking through your instagram for a good hour and a half
so it goes on like this for a while, you getting your coffee from josh now that half his adoring fans are usually in class when you go to see him, and the two of you casually chatting about this and that
he talks about his major, you talk about yours, and a pure friendship forms
with josh, you really feel like you can talk to him about anything and he understands
he speaks slow, soft, uses pretty words but they’re never overrated. he talks to you with the utmost respect and attention, 100% focused on you whenever you’re around. you’re honestly surprised no one has snatched him yet, what with how much of a catch he is
and like,, you know that anyone would kill to date him because not only is he talented and beautiful and a certified dorkozoid, he’s considerate, kind, feminine…. he almost feels untouched by this world and everything in it
maybe that’s why, you usually think. he’s a catch. anyone would be lucky to have him and you’re having regular chats over coffee and you can tell ppl are jealous
but he just feels too good for you. for anyone
you can’t think of one person on campus that would be good for him. not necessarily that there isn’t anyone… it’s just… who?
as months pass and winter gets colder, you find yourself feeling the effects of being single ten times more
so your friends are like!! are you still head over heels for that barista?? let’s set you up on a blind date to get your mind off it!!!
you’re only like 60% against it
because honestly, even though you’d do anything to work up the courage to date joshua, you wouldn’t mind getting a little dolled up for someone and having fun on a date
so your friends set you up with some guy who’d meet you at this italian place in the city on friday, and you anticipate the day, even telling josh about it when he has time to listen
“ahh… heh, a blind date? you must be super excited” 
instantly you can tell something is off with the way josh talks, but he still keeps that pleasant smile, even tho it doesn’t quite reach his eyes
for the next few days leading up until friday, josh feels a little more reserved to you, not as open as usual and somehow always a little out of it when he talks to you
even when you ask, he just smiles (and it is nothing like his real smile) and tells you he’s fine
so come friday, you’re all dressed up and you happen to walk past the campus coffee shop and see joshua going in for a late shift, so you wave to him on your way and
fuck
fuck
he can’t even manage to say anything, completely speechless as he sees how absolutely stunning you look
and how he wishes you’d turn into the shop, grab his hand and tell him you were excited for your date
but instead, you’re meeting someone else, and all he can hope is that they care about you half as much as he does. even half was a feat
he suddenly catches up to you before going in, grabbing your hand, and you blink up at him in confusion when he says “be careful. text me when you get there please? so i know you got there okay. and… and text me, or one of your friends on your way home, please. you don’t know who this guy is or what he might do. just… have fun. be careful.”
you look at josh, his eyes showing such worry and concern for your well being that you pull him into a quick hug, smiling into his chest as he lets out a sigh, “of course. i’ll be good. plus, i have a pocket knife and a full can of pepper spray just in case he tries to get one over on me”
he chuckles, feeling a lot more relaxed as he hugs you back, “let’s trust you come back with that can still full and that knife still clean, alright?”
eventually, he has to send you off, and you head to your date
you arrive by 6:55, having been told that he’d be there by 7, and so you anxiously look around, knowing you were supposed to be on the lookout for a guy in a navy blazer
but… all the guys in navy blazers are there with someone already
by the time it’s 7:30, the waiter has come by twice, asking if the other member of your party is coming
and by 8, you’re sure he’s not
so you begrudgingly order dinner, eat it in angered silence, and don’t even bother to text your friends he didn’t show. you get your leftovers boxed and order one slice of strawberry cheesecake and leave, your eyes stinging and your heart hurting, but you get back to the school just fine
and at first, you were going to just head back to your dorm. 
but you walk past the coffee shop, and you look through the windows to see it’s still open and josh is still inside, cleaning up and shutting down for the night
before you can think, you’re rushing inside, glad he hadn’t locked the doors, and as soon as josh looks up in surprise to see you, he’s shuffling out from behind the counter and scolding you with “you never told me if you arrived or not. why are you back so early? you look sad, (y/n). what happened? what did that bastard do-” “I have cheesecake. you want some? take it or leave it”
you look hurt, but you keep up the stony expression and he just quietly nods, following you to a booth in the very back
he says nothing as you take out the cheesecake, says nothing as you go into the back and grab two forks and hand him one, says nothing as you take the first piece and sigh, over-exaggeratedly praising the dessert
he says nothing because he knows better. instead, he just listens as you begin to babble about the day, about how excited you were for today all week, how your friends had gassed up your blind date so much and how you had spent two hours eating by yourself, too embarrassed to cry or even tell your friends
he watches as you quietly struggle to pick up a strawberry, the sauce drenched fruit slipping off your fork as your hand trembles with words unsaid
so, he slides out of the booth and into yours, slips an arm around your shoulders, and makes you put it down
“it’s okay. i’m here” he says softly into your ear, and you let it all out into his shoulder
all of your tears and makeup stain his shirt but he couldn’t care less, his only priority in holding you close and comforting you
he wants to beat up your blind date, make them feel terrible for ever passing up an opportunity to spend a night with you because gdi, you were amazing and lovely and he wished he was in that bastard’s shoes
you guys stay like that for a while, you simply relishing in his comfort and joshua wishing he could help you feel better, yet not knowing how
but then he gets an idea
“do you want me to show you how to make latte art? you mentioned you were interested once”
at first, you’re kind of like??? now of all times?? but you also can’t help wanting to get your mind off things, so he helps you slip out of the booth and leads you to the back in the kitchen
there you see his sketchbook and laptop up, seeing he had been working on something before he’d gone to clean up
he goes to get some coffee together while you look over his work, smiling when you see he’s intricately drawing a character at a booth in what looked like a coffee shop, but as you look at it longer, something starts to click
“josh?” you ask, and he hums, filling up a cup with some coffee “Is… is this me?”
he glances back at you and his eyes widen some when he sees what you’re looking at, but he turns back around to play it off before you can say anything “ah, yeah. i needed to warm up so… i thought of you and drew”
“this looks way too detailed for a warm up” you say with a smile, tracing your fingers over the drawing, half of it colored in, the other half still white parchment paper and blending in to the colors where they end
josh snorts, making his way over to you and closing the notebook, “look at you. you know me too well, it seems”
you simply nudge him and he places the coffee cup before you before handing you a metal cup of steamed milk, “so, we’re going to start out with making a simple heart. it’s really important how you guide your hand. i don’t expect it to be perfect, so just try, freely”
he hands you the cup and you nod, turning the spout toward the cup and trying to carefully pour in the shape of a heart, but it becomes a deformed swirl too soon
josh still smiles, telling you to attempt to fix your mistake, but you continue to find it hard, somehow making the swirl more prominent
“josh, please help me” you whine with a small smile, and he nods with a laugh, reaching his arms around you
and,,, you’re caged against the counter, his hand coming to rest above your own where you hold the milk, and his head leans down to whisper into your ear how you should pour, murmuring “it takes a bit of practice, but once you get it, it’s satisfying”
you can’t even focus on the damn coffee bc he’s so close sasjhnasi
he keeps whispering in your ear, helping you try to fix your mistake, and then he grabs a toothpick and starts to trace the swirl into something of a shape, looking a lot better than before
“see?” he whispers by your ear, smiling even as your heart beats so hard you bet he can hear it against your back “not so bad”
you turn your head slightly, only able to move so much with his arm around you and body behind you, keeping you practically pushed up against the counter
he just looks at you for a moment when he sees the look in your eyes, mouth going a little dry
it must be the moment, or maybe the mix of emotions you’d released earlier, because you can’t find the nervousness from before anywhere near when you knead your fingers into his shirt and pull him in to kiss
his lips taste like coffee and stolen sweets, and he moves his body only to turn you around for better access to your mouth, his large hands closing around your hips and squeezing
he’s careful but he is not shy. he kisses you like he’s been wanting to all night, and if you asked him, he’d tell you he had 
you get so caught up in his heady kiss that even when he lifts you onto the counter and pulls himself between your legs, you don’t stop to laugh or marvel at his strength you didn’t know he had. you just thank god that he’s closer
after a few moments, he ends up pulling away, your lips chasing his with a frustrated whine that has him nearly buckling under his weight “my boss will kill me if we make out in the kitchen”
“then let’s take it somewhere else, dummy”
joshua has never locked up the coffee shop faster
after that day, he finally asks you out, and of course, you say yes
your friends apologize to you, feeling absolutely terrible for what happened with the blind date, but you honestly couldn’t care less bc if you hadn’t been stood up, you may have never gotten the chance to kiss joshua
everyone, and i mean everyone can tell there’s something different about josh come monday
he’s so much more peppy, so much more friendly, he’s practically beaming like a ray of sunshine,, like more than usual
and it’s so obvious why when you come in, stealing a kiss from him when he gets your coffee to you before you leave
josh’s co-workers are like??? is this allowed?? wtf is this allowed????
joshua’s boss doesn’t care cause it’s FRICKIN CUTE
a majority of joshua’s suitors back off when they find out he’s taken, but of course they continue to come bc josh is amazing at making coffee and no one is petty enough to stop coming just bc he’s taken lol
if joshua was an amazing friend, he’s an even better boyfriend ok
turns out that one drawing of you in the coffee shop was not the only one
he draws you often, and his favorite you to draw is a cute lil chibi version which he swears is so cute bc like,,, u small
boy literally giggles whenever he thinks about it
you: it’s really not that funny josh-
joshua: YOU’RE SO SMALL
actually made a chibi ver of himself and animated your chibi selves to kiss
he sent you the video and you look at it before you go to sleep every night bc it’s so cute
is always hyped for animated films and you can never get him as excited for live action films
he goes absolutely nuts for disney and stuff but he’s also a fine tuned indie animated film connoisseur of course
sometimes he’ll be like “so i watched this film last night called blah blah blah and it was about blah blah blah and…” and you don’t know wth he’s talking bout sometimes but you just listen to him babble bc u love him
scolds u if you haven’t seen a particular movie/anime/cartoon and then proceeds to force you to watch it
but you actually end up liking them?? and some of them become your comfort movies just because they remind you of josh
will send you animated couples and be like “this is us”
even if you two have nothing in common with the characters? it could just be a cute scene and he’ll link it back to you two
jeonghan LOVES you…. and also will fight you for joshua’s attention but he still loves you
he prides himself on being “joshua’s best friend” but then you meet vernon and vernon is like “he was my best friend first” so you go from a love triangle to a love square
if you added in all of joshua’s admirers it’d be like a love….  enneacontakaipentagon
(that is a thing)
since it’s a lot to go back to america to meet josh’s family, you instead meet vernon’s family in place of them, who despite only knowing josh for a year feel like he’s their second son
they gush about how much they love him and his influence on vernon and vernon’s lil sister and it’s just,,, so precious
but you can tell he gets homesick sometimes, and when family holidays come, he gets particularly sad
vernon’s family works hard to make it easier on him so they set up a skype date with his family every holiday and you watch josh as he talks about how his graduation is coming up, how he can’t wait to visit them, how he misses his mom’s home cooking and how nice life is in seoul
he introduces you to them over skype as well and they’re so kind and lovely!! they absolutely spoil you with love and attention and only have lovely things to say about you
then one day, you get a call from vernon’s mother
she tells you that secretly, they’ve been setting up for joshua’s parents to come visit, and they want you to keep it secret, as well as keep joshua out of the house the day they arrive so he doesn’t catch on
which,, proves harder than you expect
even on spring break your lovely boyfriend only wants to stay in and catch up on shows with you so you have to literally drag him out of the house to hang with jeonghan and vernon at the mall
while you’re all out, joshua just happens to see a shirt while you’re all shopping
it’s a tank top with the word “california” written across it
and usually, josh would just ignore little things like that, but as he stands there, he starts thinking of home and his family who he misses like crazy
it’s not like him, but a few tears slip past his eyes before he wipes them away, attempting to hide it before one of you saw
you did, but you don’t say anything, instead hooking an arm with him and leading him elsewhere, practically bursting with the need to tell joshua what was awaiting him at home
you manage to keep it secret though, even as you smile wider than ever on your back to vernon’s house
of course,,, josh is highly concerned
“why are you smiling so much? what are you hiding?” “dang boy, can’t a girl just smile a lil bit” “not like that. your smile is too big. it’s creeping me out”
if you weren’t driving you might’ve socked him in the arm
you carefully pull up to the house and joshua’s eyebrows furrows when he notices vernon’s parents’ car is parked somewhere different than it was when you all left 
“v, did your parents go somewhere?” he asks, but vernon simply shrugs and follows a grinning jeonghan out of the car, leaving just you and him alone
he stares at you for a bit, the smile still on your face, and then looks back at the house, the wheels turning behind his eyes
“what are you waiting for? i don’t know about you, but I wanna meet the hongs sometime this week, thank you”
his eyes widen a little bit and you’re laughing as he tumbles out of the car, rushing toward the front door as you trail behind, hearing a chorus of elated screams before you enter the house
when you do, you see josh all wrapped up in between his parents, all three of them crying into each other as jeonghan, vernon, and vernon’s family watch with smiles just like yours
for the rest of the day, you spend it with josh and his family, catching up on all that they’ve missed along with getting to know the hongs personally
they’re just as sweet in person as they are over skype, and they absolutely love poking fun at josh to you whenever they get the chance
the sound of josh’s embarrassed “mooooooom” in the background as she tells you about josh’s anime phase and how she’d seen an episode of one of those shows and had to have a talk with him afterward
you: what were you watching, josh?
josh:… i have since refined my taste
by the time the night ends, you’ve got enough embarrassment fodder to last you months
“please don’t take anything my parents said seriously okay. they live to make my life terrible” he tells you over the phone that night, after vernon’s family told you it was getting far too late and you should be heading home
highest of keys, josh was hoping you’d stay so late that they’d let you sleep over but knowing he had two (2) sets of parents in the house now, they’d probably make vernon sleep between you two and that’s the closest you’d get throughout the night
“i don’t know about that. those baby stories were comedy gold” you grin into the phone, laying on your back and smiling up at the ceiling
he scoffs, “just wait till i meet your parents. they’ll tell me all the crazy stories and i’ll have so much blackmail i won’t even know what to do with” “isn’t it funny how i met your parents, who live in california, before you met mine who live here?”
he smiles into the phone, “’s okay. makes us a unique couple. i was starting to think we were far too daydreamy. almost feels like a movie.”
“i’m surprised you haven’t turned it into one, actually” you say, playing with your shirt hem as sleepiness starts to creep up on you and you let out a yawn
“i promise one day i’ll make a movie about us. now go to sleep, i’ll see you tomorrow, okay?”
you yawn again but oblige, and you say your goodbyes before hanging up and laying down to fall asleep, a content smile on your face
but then your phone vibrates under your pillow not twenty minutes later
confused, you pull it out, and find a video message from joshua
carefully, you open it, unsure of what you’ll expect, but find a seemingly quickly drawn stop motion video of chibi!you and chibi!josh kissing each other’s cheeks
you smile tiredly, shaking your head at the boy, but as the video comes to an end, a speech bubble appears above chibi!josh’s head, his eyes turning into hearts as he speaks to chibi!you “i’ve been debating on when to say this for a while, but i’m proud to be the first of us to say it: i love you”
the video ends, and you giddily dial josh’s number once more, the boy picking up just as quickly as you had called
“yes?” he says softly, voice tinged with slight worry
but you just chuckle, “jerk. i wanted to say it first. now let me go to sleep… i love you too”
