Choi Yeo-ju
- hello!!
jimin park
—Huh? You’re Choi Yeo-ju, right?
Choi Yeo-ju
— Oh, you remember. I remember you too, right, Mr. Park Jimin.
jimin park
— Yes, that's right. Thanks for remembering. Are you here to get a tattoo?
Choi Yeo-ju
— Of course. I bit the bullet when they said they would do it for free.
[ A month ago ]
Choi Yeo-ju
— Yes, I understand. I'll go quickly now. Ah!!
I was running frantically through a narrow, crowded alleyway on an urgent matter when I bumped into a man. The bag I was carrying fell off my shoulder, spilling everything inside. The man was so surprised that he picked up all my belongings.
jimin park
— I'm sorry, are you hurt anywhere?
Choi Yeo-ju
— Oh, yes... It's okay, I'll pick it up.
jimin park
— No. It was because of me that you fell. I'm sorry, you must be busy.
Choi Yeo-ju
— No, it's okay.
jimin park
— If any items are damaged, please contact me. I will compensate you.
Looking at the business card the man gave me, the name "Park Jimin" and the job title "tattooist" caught my eye. The tattoos on his hands made him look a bit sharp, but when I spoke to him, he was surprisingly friendly and had a pleasant demeanor, exuding a warm aura.
Choi Yeo-ju
— Oh, no, it's really okay.
jimin park
— Well then... if you're interested in getting a tattoo, please contact me. I'll do it for free. I'm really sorry.
Choi Yeo-ju
— That's really okay... If that's true, I'll accept it.
I've never gotten a tattoo before, but I've actually been thinking about getting one for a while, and since it was "free," I figured I didn't have to push it away, so I got a business card.
jimin park
- what's your name?
Choi Yeo-ju
- yes?
jimin park
— You have to know who it is to get it for free. I meet so many people that I can't recognize them no matter how pretty they are...
Choi Yeo-ju
— Ah... It's Choi Yeo-ju.
jimin park
— Miss Yeoju... I understand. You seem busy, so please go quickly.
Choi Yeo-ju
— Yes, I'm sorry!
[ today ]
jimin park
— Ah, you remembered again. It was just a word.
Choi Yeo-ju
— Yes? Oh, then shall we go again?
jimin park
— No?! That's a lie lol
We only met once a month ago, and this was our second meeting, but for some reason, I felt comfortable. He was also very at ease. Meeting him as a tattoo artist at a tattoo shop felt a bit different.
Choi Yeo-ju
— What the heck lol. Please write the alphabet J with that sperm.
jimin park
— Can I ask what that means?
Choi Yeo-ju
— Um... there is.
jimin park
— Oh, I see. Because she’s the female lead, J?
Choi Yeo-ju
— That's also true, but my boyfriend's name also has the letter J in it. I came without telling him. I wanted to surprise him.
jimin park
— Ah... you have a boyfriend.
Choi Yeo-ju
—Why are you disappointed?
jimin park
— Me?
Choi Yeo-ju
— I just got disappointed.
jimin park
— No, I don’t— Where are you going to do it?
Choi Yeo-ju
— I'll do it on your wrist. Does it hurt a lot?
jimin park
— Oh, is this your first time?
Choi Yeo-ju
- yes···.
jimin park
—Don't worry. I won't hurt you.
From his voice to his heart, Jimin's warmth was still there, just like a month ago. My boyfriend hates it when I laugh and talk like this with other men, and since I came without telling him, I was a little scared that he'd get caught. But maybe it was because I'd met a warm man other than my boyfriend after a long time, and I found myself falling into the atmosphere without realizing it.
jimin park
— I'll go and draw the pattern. I'm holding this doll.
Choi Yeo-ju
— What is it? It's cute.
jimin park
— If it hurts, you can just squeeze this or throw it.
Choi Yeo-ju
— Oh, I won’t make such a fuss.
jimin park
— You don’t know~?
Jimin had a surprisingly funny side. He gave me a cute doll and went to get the design. When I actually started, people around me said it hurt, so I was a little nervous.
.
jimin park
— I'll start now. If it hurts, tell me.
Choi Yeo-ju
- yes···.
jimin park
—Why are you having a hard time already? LOL
Choi Yeo-ju
— I'm shaking. I think it's going to hurt...
jimin park
— It's only one alphabet, so it'll be over in no time. Let's get started. Relax.
Choi Yeo-ju
- yes···.
.
jimin park
— It doesn’t hurt as much as you think, does it?
Choi Yeo-ju
— Oh... It doesn't hurt as much as I thought.
jimin park
— I'm good at it.
Choi Yeo-ju
— Yes? Hahaha
🎵📱🎵📱
Just then, my phone rang. It was my boyfriend, Jungkook. Why did he have to call at this time of the year? It was as if someone knew I was getting a tattoo. I considered just not answering.
jimin park
— Don't worry about me and take it easy.
Choi Yeo-ju
— Ah, yes···.
.
Choi Yeo-ju
📞 Yes, oppa.
jungkook jeon
📞 Where are you? I came home and you weren't there.
Choi Yeo-ju
📞 You came to my house?
jungkook jeon
📞 I was originally going to come as a surprise, but that fell through. But where is it?
Choi Yeo-ju
📞 Huh? Ah··· here···.
As I was hesitating, he gestured for me to give him the phone. My eyes widened in surprise, but Jimin took my phone and started talking.
jimin park
📞 Hello, I'm your friend from Yeoju. I'm having a drink with my friends right now.
jungkook jeon
📞 Huh? Alcohol? It's too quiet for that.
jimin park
📞 Everyone is drunk and passed out.
jungkook jeon
📞 Where is it? Please change the female lead.
jimin park
📞 The female protagonist is also a little drunk.
jungkook jeon
📞 So where are you? Are you really my friend? If you don't tell me, I'll track your location.
jimin park
📞 Yes? That··· the alley near the exit of Minjeongdae···.
.
Choi Yeo-ju
—Why? Did you hang up? What did you say? My boyfriend was really angry...
jimin park
— First, let’s finish this quickly.
Choi Yeo-ju
— It's ruined.
jimin park
— Miss Yeoju, I guess I'll have to pretend to be drunk today. Sorry.
Choi Yeo-ju
— No. It’s actually a good thing because now that things have turned out this way, I can just get away with it and say I got a tattoo while drunk.
jimin park
— Ah... It's over now. It's pretty.
Choi Yeo-ju
— Wow... It's pretty. Thank you.
jimin park
— If you want to get it again next time, come back. Even if it's not free, I'll give you a discount.
Choi Yeo-ju
— Hey, you can't just keep receiving. I don't know how my boyfriend will react.
jimin park
— Yes. I hope to see you again. Take care. And don't act drunk too much, haha.
Choi Yeo-ju
— Don't worry haha I'll go. Thank you.
The tattoo was small, so it was over pretty quickly. It was a brief encounter with Jimin, but even that brief moment was filled with fun and excitement. I waited in this alleyway, looking at the tattoo.
Choi Yeo-ju
— But it’s so pretty….
jungkook jeon
—What is this?
Choi Yeo-ju
— Oh my god!!! I'm surprised. When did you come?
jungkook jeon
— Did you get a tattoo?
Choi Yeo-ju
- uh?
jungkook jeon
— You said you drank alcohol, but it doesn't seem like you're drunk at all.
Choi Yeo-ju
— Huh? I'm drunk...?
jungkook jeon
— Choi Yeo-ju.
Looking at Jungkook's face, I didn't think he'd been fooled. I was so absorbed in the beauty of his tattoo that I didn't realize he was there, and I ended up getting caught in the act.
Choi Yeo-ju
— I’m sorry… No, I was trying to show it to you as a surprise…
jungkook jeon
— I'm not saying anything because of the tattoo. Why are you lying?
Choi Yeo-ju
— Well... I'm afraid my brother will notice... Ah~ Cheer up. Let's go home quickly, I'm cold.
jungkook jeon
— I guess I can mess with this because it's cute.
Fortunately, my aegyo seemed to have calmed him down a bit. Only then did I relax, link arms with my brother, and smile.
jungkook jeon
— So what does J stand for?
Choi Yeo-ju
— Yeoju, Jeongguk J.
jungkook jeon
— What, did it have our names in it?
Choi Yeo-ju
— Does this mean I love you this much?
jungkook jeon
— Then I should get a J tattoo like Yeoju. Where did you get it done? I think it was just done. Did you get it done around here?
Choi Yeo-ju
— Huh? No!! Not here.
jungkook jeon
—Why are you suddenly so excited?
Choi Yeo-ju
— Anyway... not here.
jungkook jeon
— Isn’t there a tattoo shop right over there?
Choi Yeo-ju
— Even if it isn't?
Seriously, how can you be so perceptive? How did you even notice that there was a tattoo shop? I could have just let it slide, but if he found out I got it from a guy, he might blow up again.
jungkook jeon
— It's okay if the female lead isn't in one place. Let's go there.
Choi Yeo-ju
— No!! No!
jungkook jeon
— Choi Yeo-ju. Why are you stopping me like this?
Choi Yeo-ju
— Huh...? What did I...?
jungkook jeon
— Did you get it from that guy over there?
‘It’s ruined.’
jungkook jeon
— Choi Yeo-ju!!!
