TATTOO INK

THE TEXT

Few days passed, Jaein did as he promised and I have to admit he is a good teacher. And he is patient.

I even had a chance to walk the streets of Seoul, with Raizo of course. Getting lost in Seoul wasn't something I wished for. He showed me the nearest store,park and some other interesting places I could visit on my own. Then again I'm not here to have fun I was here to work. Work....yeah...that has been great,surprisingly there were a lot of clients coming in into the underground tattoo shop,which gave me plenty of opportunities to master my tattooing and then there was Kai. Kai,the blue eyed jurk.

For some reason it bothered me that someone is rejecting me,making me feel like I don't belong. He was mean to me and to others, no one really communicated with him,everyone talked to him only when they needed something. Kai was cold MF.

- Make bolder line's,tattoo needs to pop out...make it look like you can actually feel the texture. - Jaein was standing over my shoulder, giving me some tips and tricks. I listened and did what he said.

- Got it.

- I'll be back in a few minutes, you are doing great. - Jaein praised me and left to his office. I carried on doing the tattoo, focusing on what he said.

Few minutes passed and I felt a strange feeling like someone was watching me.

- No shaky line's...- Damn,he was just what I needed.

- Go away, I'm working. - I didn't want to look at Kai right now, I didn't need that distraction.

- I'm just saying, you don't want unhappy client and a shity tattoo. - Kai started to push my buttons...deep breath in and out...just ignore him. When he saw that I was not answering him he left,I will deal with him later.

After 2 hours tattoo was done,both me and the client were happy with the result. Tattoo came out better then I expected. Now it was time to settle things with Kai.

- Do you know where Kai is?- I asked one of the artists here since I didn't see Kai at his station.

- I think he is in the brake room.

- Thanks - Here we go.

I opened the door and looked around, there he was,staring at his phone sitting sideways on the chair. Looking like a boss in his leather brown and white jacket,that jacket was bomb.No one else was in here,perfect...

- What the f**k was that?! Never talk to me like that in front my client! - I raised my voice coming closer to Kai. He just smirked at me,that made me even angrier.

- You f*****g i***t. - I said.

Kai's smirk disappeared, he jolted up from his chair startling me,my heart beat increased when he cornered me.

- Have some respect. - Kai growled towering over me. He was inches from my face,his blue eyes were so intense,I noticed that his skin is so clear with no blemishes.

- Hell no...- I answered not moving a muscle, if he thinks that he can scare me,he is wrong.

Suddenly Kai's hand was around my neck,his long fingers pressed into my skin,but he didn't choke me I could still breath. Wave of warmth traveled through my body,I was actually getting turned on. Kai's eyes scanned my face lingering on my lips, he's cheeks blushed and face softened,he changed 360.

- Kai...- My voice was soft I wasn't angry anymore, I was confused about what has happened. Kai blinked few times and moved away from me. He was confused as well.

Deep sigh passed his lips and he left without any words.

- What the f**k was that? - I asked myself like a crazy person, maybe I am crazy...

My phone started ringing in my jeans,I quickly pulled it up and noticed unknown phone number on my screen.

- Hello,Mika speaking.

- Hi Mika! It's me,JK... - JK screamed in his phone.

- OH JK,what's up?

- Can we meet for coffee or something? It's not a date!

- Haha sure, when? - I needed some distance from here after what just happened with Kai.

- I'll pick you up in....half hour. Is that OK?

- Yeah that's fine,where should we meet?

- Wait for me in front of the building, I'll be in the car.

- Ok,see you then.

- Bye Mika.

I was happy to see JK and spend some time with him,I wonder if Tae will be with him...just in case I will dress up little more attractive then usual,just a pinch...

JK came little sooner then expected, he was already sitting in his car at front of the buildings entrance.

- Where you waiting long? - I asked JK after taking the front seat next to him.

- No I just got here. - JK answered before he started driving.

- So,where are we going? - I started to smalltalk checking JK out,he had a black hat and a face mask,if I saw him on the street I wouldn't recognize him.

- There is a coffee shop nearby, we go there often. - Ok,so we are going to one of his hangout places.

- Are you still happy with the tattoo?

- Yes of course, I can't wait to get another one. - JK answered,I could see that he was smiling because his cheeks puffed up.

- Wow you really like tattoos, it's gonna take a long time to finish what you want. - I commented.

- I will come to the shop maybe day after tomorrow, I need to check my schedule...

- Sure,no problem.

- We are here. - Suddenly he said turning his car into the parking lot behind one building.

What? We drove just a few blocks away, we could walk here....ah never mind.

After JK parked the car I stepped out and followed him like a puppy. I wonder if he knows where are we going since he led me to the back door of the coffee shop. An unusual way to get in.

Ok,that's so weird...

The back entrance led us to the coffee shop? For real? There were chairs, tables and menus, it wasn't huge space but it had enough room to fit 10 tables and a bar. Interesting.... I noticed few people that were enjoying their drinks, they all greeted JK and looked at me curiously.

- Here...sit down. - JK pulled out a chair for me to sit in. What a gentleman, he learned well.

- Thanks. - I sit in the chair,JK seated across me.

- Sorry for saying this,but this is some weird coffee shop.

- It's a privacy issue, here we can relax and enjoy ourselves with no worries that we will be mobbed. - JK was serious about this.

- For real? Are you that famous? - I raised my eyebrows in surprise.

- Yes we are. - He answered removing his face mask,now I could finally see his face.

- Hi,what can I get you? - Waiter seemed friendly and relaxed, guess because JK is a regular here.

- Coffee, thank you. - I said and waiter left,he didn't even take the order from JK.

- Wait....he didn't ask you? - I was little confused.

- He knows my order,it's always the same. - I feel so stupid now.

- So,tell me...how did you end up in Seoul? - JK asked me.

- It's a long story...actually it's not...- We both smile at my weird words - My tattoo mentor Steve send me here to learn from the best tattoo artist here,Jaein. He is someone I admire. - I told him my short story.

- Do you miss home? - JK asked his next question.

- No not really...not yet. How about you? How did you end up being a singer and soooo famous?

- Omg,that is a really long story. - JK laughed.

- So tell me about it,I'm a good listener. - I encourage him to share with me his background.

- Are you sure? - JK rubbed his head,he questioned my desire.

- Yeah why not,you are my first celebrity and I don't know anything about you.

JK nodded his head and started talking, I wasn't prepared for this. His story was heartbreaking at some points and on the other hand there were some exciting moments. I was trying to wrap my head around the fact what this guys went through to be what they are now.

- Wow,JK....I'm lost from words. - I commented, I wanted to be happy for them and sad at the same time. That is tough life for someone this young.

- It's ok now,we are happy that's what matters. - JK is such a positive person.

- Yes you are right. - I smiled back at him.

My phone started ringing, there was an incoming text. I didn't want to be rude and text in front of JK,but still I had to check who is it from. It could be important...

I opened the text from an unknown number and there was a message.

" Hi,Mika. How are you? "

I frowned at my phone.

- What's wrong? - JK noticed.

- Nothing, just someone texting me.

" I'm fine,can I know who you are? I don't have your phone number. "

I sent a text back.

- I'm sorry. - I apologize to JK.

- Why are you sorry? I'm ok with it,I do it all the time. Multitasking! - JK answered laughing.

"OH,sorry. It's Tae. "

My heart beat increased, can't believe that he was actually texting me right now. Does he like me?

" Tae! How are you? I'm just getting a coffee with JK. "

- It's Tae,did you gave him my phone number?

- He practically begged me for it,just don't tell him I'm here. - Soon as JK said that his phone started ringing, the face he gave me I knew who was calling him.

- Sorry...- I giggled at JK.

- Hello....we are just having a drink...no it's not...Tae relax...she is listening...no it's not a date...- JK started rolling his eyes.

- Fine...I will...bye...Taehyung is pissed.

- Taehyung, is that his full name? - I liked his full name so much better, it sounds sexy and attractive like he already is.

- Yes,and his stage name is V. I forgot to tell you that. - JK sighed.

- V...interesting. Is everything going to be fine between the two of you? - I honestly didn't want to get JK in trouble.

- Yeah ,he will probably tell Jimin and they will scold me,but I'm used to it,so don't worry.

JK didn't look upset at all. Still I wanted to make sure,so I texted Taehyung that we are not on a date just talking about his next tattoo,which turned up to be true becouse for the next hour we did talk about it.
