"Awesomeness! You are very brave most of my clients faint and I gotta call someone ya know" Hoseok removed the gloves and handed Lisa a mirror
She looked at her new piercing in her lip she had gotten the vertical labret "You know I can take anything this type of pain is nothing to me"
"Great to hear. How's your love life going chica any new ones coming your way? Hook ups? What's going on you can tell me" he said as he was cleaning up his station hearing Lisa sigh in sadness
"I have bad luck! These days are just not good for me" she said then mind wondered somewhere "say... would you ever go on a date with me? As in just you and me"
Hoseok laughed and turned around "I wouldn't you're the type to fall in love in less than 24 hours you fell for the delivery man, the manager from the sandwich shop I could go on but right now you're trying to get with that guy from the flower shop"
Lisa scoffed putting the mirror beside her Hoseok was cleaning and disinfecting the tray she didn't think she was that type of person
"Hey guys food's here!" They heard Namjoon
Namjoon flipped the sign to closed and went to the break room where everyone was grabbing their food he noticed Jisoo wasn't around as usual he walked around his shop knocking on the bathroom to see if she was okay
A familiar girly laugh caught his attention he walked towards the window and saw her with Seokjin
"You're actually funny ahh it must be nice for your fiancé to have a good laugh whenever she's down I wish I had a man who makes me smile" She said
Seokjin let out a nervous laugh switching his shopping bag to his other hand "Yeah. I have a lot of dad jokes I enjoy making people laugh with my sense of humor"
As expected he looks unsure about marrying her I have to tell Namjoon about this right away
"Hey what are you guys doing" Namjoon walked towards them he smiled at Seokjin he looked really nice in his ripped jeans and blue hoodie Jisoo suddenly grabbed Seokjin's sleeve "Since you're here why don't you come inside Namjoon's shop"
Seokjin didn't get to answer because he was dragged inside and put in a black leather chair
"Jisoo what— "Shhh here" she handed him the binder that was in his office "This is your time to show him you won't get an opportunity like this"
Namjoon went behind the curtain he set the binder on the tray "I'm sorry you're probably busy"
"I'm not I just ran into her I don't start classes until later today" his gaze went to the binder then looked at the younger "Is that your designs? I would love to see them"
A smile spread on Namjoon's face he open to the first page Seokjin got closer and was pretty amazed by his drawings "Wow you have a great talent I mean look at this it must have taken hours" he pointed
He flipped through the pages Seokjin was impressed and stopped when he saw a drawing of a simple moon with stars this was something he would get
"Do you like it? I haven't tattooed it on anyone"
Seokjin raised his head up "Really? I would love to get this one but uhhh I—I don't know where" he moved his sleeves up Namjoon sat next to him and held his wrist "The piece is around this big" he showed
"If you want it somewhere noticeable we can do it here on the wrist or anywhere in the arms"
"Ahh I see what about my below my collarbone area? Would it hurt if I get it there instead?" He said as they suddenly made eye contact their faces were a few inches away Seokjin felt his heart beating Namjoon was a very attractive man
The younger moved his gaze away letting go of his wrist and stood up to stretch his arms
"That all depends on pain tolerance just think it through and you can come back" he said offering his hand "I bought some lunch for my staff would you like to join me on my lunch break?"
Seokjin couldn't say no to free food and took his hand helping him stand up they were almost the same height he smiled at the younger "Sure"
"Namjoon there you are— who's this?" Hoseok asked when he saw Namjoon coming inside the break room with Seokjin behind him Lisa turned her head and sealed her lips shut after Jisoo told her the tea
"A friend" he answered "Seokjin my sisters fiancé"
Hoseok passed by Namjoon in lightning speed to hug Seokjin "Congratulations! I see you and Joon here have been getting close he's a pretty cool guy"
"They do look like they would make a great couple but is Seokjin into dudes? He looks so straight!"
"The same thing I thought when I first met Joon but you never know" Jisoo whispered back as they watched the males interacting with each other
"We should all go Karaoke tonight wouldn't it be fun? I'm down to pay as many drinks" Hoseok suggested
"Hold your horses Hoseok I have class this afternoon and Seokjin is my teacher couldn't you like I dunno wait for us? We would love to come!" Jisoo said
Hoseok's eyes went to Seokjin "You're a very interesting guy! You should invite us over to your place and cook for us I love food as you can see" he giggled stepping aside for him to see the multiple bags of food on the table
"Come join us!" Lisa moved her things for him to sit next to her Namjoon went over to pull the chair for Seokjin he thanked him and sat down
Seokjin was mostly quiet he only answered whenever they would ask him a question or his opinion Namjoon was sitting next to him pretty close their knees were almost touching
After lunch Namjoon walked him outside to where he turned around "Hey umm... about the tattoo I'm actually interested in getting that moon drawing well whenever you're available no rush"
"Ah" he said crossing his arms "Once you get tattooed you will want more that's what happened to me" he pulled the sleeve of his jacket on his right arm Seokjin got closer to him to see his tattoos
Forever rain
Seokjin kept his eyes on the letters he hoped it didn't mean what he thinks "Wow... this looks cool I can't wait to get my first one by you of course" he giggled
"You won't regret it" Namjoon winked pulling his sleeve down Seokjin took out his phone from his back pocket to unlock it then handed it to him "I want your number... to see when you're available"
"Sure" Namjoon smiled grabbing his phone to type his number then handed it back to him "And about what Hoseok said you don't have to come tonight with us if you don't want to I get your busy with teaching"
"Oh no I want to come it's been a while since I've gone to a karaoke bar I'll see you later?" He said
"Yeah see you tonight.."
Seokjin went back home putting his shopping bag on the table and went to greet his cats that followed him to the kitchen as he prepared their food
His phone started to ring he didn't bother looking at the contact and picked it up as he opened another can of food "Hello?" He said grabbing a spoon
"Jin? Honey I'm so glad you answered I was wondering if you can come over tonight for dinner I want to say how sorry I am for my actions"
His smile disappeared he had plans already but he couldn't just tell her that he was going to hang out with Namjoon and his friends it will trigger her jealousy if she finds out two girls are going
"Uhh... well about that I was thinking maybe we should do it tomorrow instead? I have a lot of things to do today I don't want to get behind" he lied
"Oh... Yeah sure that works as well what are you doing? I assume you're home right?"
Seokjin rolled his eyes I'm so glad she didn't ask me to share my location with her that one time
Namjoon closed the shop and walked towards his car with Jisoo "You know you don't have to drive me to my class you probably have stuff to do like getting ready" she said getting inside the car
"I was planning after your class is over I'll take both of you to the bar" he replied putting the seatbelt on before driving away from the parking lot
When they arrived Namjoon walked her to class inside he saw Seokjin washing his hands he waved at him receiving a smile from Seokjin then left
Outside Namjoon was near his car smoking a cigarette he had gotten a lot of text messages from his younger brothers he sighed it was sad that they had to lie to their parents to where they were going in order to go see Namjoon
At least they still liked him
After class was over Jisoo and Seokjin were walking out from the building and went towards Namjoon leaning against his car he had opened the door for Seokjin
Jisoo gave Namjoon a look giggling as she got inside the passenger side then drove to the bar
"Hey guys!" Hoseok smiled as they got inside the room Lisa was already there holding the microphone choosing a song Namjoon sat next to Seokjin
There was drinks on the table Lisa decided to go first singing her favorite song Jisoo was cheering her on Seokjin was impressed by her singing
"My turn!" Hoseok grabbed the microphone and handed the second one to Namjoon "Let's show them how it's done" he said Seokjin excused himself to go to the bathroom he took out his phone
Nari was blowing up his phone he sighed locking himself inside the stall to read the multiple messages before answering her and once he was done he washed his hands and went back to the room
Hoseok was singing his heart out the girls were giggling and recording him Namjoon was also singing it made Seokjin laugh as he sat next to him
When the song was finally over the mic was handed to him Seokjin gulped he wasn't sure if he'll be great at this but he'll give it a try
"Alright what will you sing for us" Jisoo said watching him look for a song Seokjin wanted to change the mood and clicked on Epiphany he cleared his throat as the screen loaded and the song began
참 이상해
분명 나 너를 너무 사랑했는데 (사랑했는데)
뭐든 너에게 맞추고
널 위해 살고 싶었는데
그럴수록 내 맘속의
폭풍을 감당할 수 없게 돼
웃고 있는 가면 속의
진짜 내 모습을 다 드러내
"Oh shit he's— he's pretty good" Hoseok said as he sung his heart out the girls agreed listening to his sweet smoothing voice
I'm the one I should love in this world
빛나는 나를 소중한 내 영혼을
이제야 깨달아, oh, so I love me
좀 부족해도 너무 아름다운 걸
I'm the one I should love
Wow he said that with so much power Namjoon thought as he sung the rest of the song when Seokjin got to the end he held the high note surprising everyone "I'm the one I should love, hhmm, whoo, yeah..." he let the microphone down
"Oh my god! That was amazing!" Jisoo clapped standing up Lisa followed clapping happily Hoseok was sitting down wiping tears Namjoon was stunned by clapped proud and amazed at his singing
They spent about another hour taking turns singing before they ordered food
"You're a natural are you perhaps auditioning to become a celebrity? That will be so exciting I meeting the great Seokjin before fame" Lisa said
Seokjin chuckled "I actually took choir classes back in high school I did audition but I didn't hear back from any company and gave up"
"That's too bad you have such a wonderful and angelic voice wouldn't you agree Namjoon?" Jisoo asked making all eyes go on him Namjoon turned off his phone "Yeah you have a really nice voice..."
"Maybe you should sing a few songs in your wedding day I think that would be pretty cool I got a few love songs if you ever want to know" Hoseok said
The wedding... right.. I'm getting married..
Drinks after drinks everyone was getting drunk well expect for Namjoon since he was the one driving and Seokjin was able to control his drinking as the rest of them were giggling and cracking up at their own words
"I'm going to smoke outside real quick" Namjoon said to Seokjin as he got up he felt his sleeve being pulled and glanced back "Wait I'll come with you I need some fresh air from all this alcohol" he chuckled
They both exited the room and went outside it was a bit cold Namjoon loved this type of weather he put away his lighter and released the smoke in the air Seokjin was standing beside him hands inside his pockets in silence
"Are you alright after all those drinks? Do you need me to take you home right now?" Namjoon said turning his head to look at him Seokjin smiled at him "I'm okay I don't think I'm that drunk"
"You're cool" he said "You know how to cook, you know how to drink well and you sing really beautiful my sister hit the lottery" he chuckled
Seokjin really know how to reply to that he doesn't want to say anything bad and ruin the friendship their building so he only smiled in return
It was around 1am and decided to leave the bar Namjoon dropped off everyone like a school bus then drove to Seokjin's apartment building he was sleeping on the way there
Namjoon stopped the car and gently touched his shoulder "We're here do you want me to walk you to your door?" He asked as Seokjin opened his eyes
"It's okay.." he replied taking off his seatbelt Namjoon got out going around to open the passenger door Seokjin got out and tripped on his own feet
He was caught Namjoon had his arms around him Seokjin slowly moved back their faces were really close to each other Seokjin closed his mouth he didn't want Namjoon to smell the alcohol
"S—Sorry— I'm sorry" Seokjin said stepping back and moving his hands away from him with a blush Namjoon smiled at him "No need to apologize I'm just glad I caught you before you hit the ground"
"Hahah... yeah thanks.." he said shyly as they walked to his apartment building Seokjin unlocked the door and opened it he turned around bowing Namjoon winked at him "Good night see you later" then left him blushing until his ears turned red
He closed the door sliding down to the floor his three cats meowed running towards him Seokjin was hugging his knees and hid his face inside
"That was so embarrassing... our faces were inches away and he probably smelled my nasty alcohol breath oh god how embarrassing" he said to himself hearing his cars meowing in return
Namjoon was making his way out of the neighborhood he saw a person walking alone as he got closer the familiar face made him want to stop
It was none other than Nari walking the opposite way he drove pass by her and parked somewhere near by he decided to follow her and to his gut feeling she was going towards Seokjin's apartment
He stood in the stairs hiding against the wall hearing the soft knocking Nari was desperate to see him
"Honey it's me" she said knocking again but there was no answer she took out her phone and pressed on his name hearing the ringing Namjoon shook his head
Was this some type of possessive behavior? How did she leave home without their parents knowing?
Namjoon carefully went downstairs and left the building walking down his car he smoke a cigarette on his way there and got a notification
Seokjin
Thank you for dropping me off 😊 get home safely
A smile spread on his face he got inside his car and typed back his response
Namjoon
Of course anything for you
Seokjin blushed and turned off his phone rolling over his body hearing the knocking in his front door he knew it was Nari outside trying to get in since he didn't answer her a while back
"Seokjin.... Please answer the door I know you're in there please I'm so worried about you honey.." she softly said knocking on the door Seokjin sighed pulling the blanket over his head it was driving him nuts
The knocking suddenly stopped Seokjin removed the blanket and sat up his cats meowing in the room
He thought maybe she gave up and went home but then she heard a metal sound in the kitchen Seokjin quickly got up running out the room he stopped his tracks when he saw Nari's hand inside
The small window slide open her eyes met his and she smiled happily "Oh you're okay! Why didn't you answer when I knocked on the door? Is something going on? You didn't even read my messages from hours ago I'm so worried for you honey..."
Seokjin just stood there frozen he didn't understand why she was suddenly acting weird it freaked him out the fact that she was trying to break in
"Jin... are you alright? Please let me in.."
His heart was beating fast the palms of his hands were sweaty he gulped watching her reach for the nearest object Seokjin's body gave up and he fell to the floor he could Nari's screaming before he blacked out
