The alarm is blaring punctually at 7am in the morning, I fell asleep last night while reading the materials for today's meeting.

Grabbing my phone and I saw Jeong Woo's text 'Good morning, Ms.Y/N. Hope you had a good rest, just for a reminder I will pick you up at 8am". I straightly reply him with lots of emojis.

Took a warm shower, prepare some breakfast which are a toast, banana, with nutella spread. Had some warm milk to calm my stomach for a bit.

'What should I wear today hmm..' I am humming while scanning every clothes I brought inside my suitcase, I haven't had the time for unpacked everything.

At the end, I go for a white plain t-shirt, black straight pants and a thigh length relax double breasted black coat. Looking for a sleek heels and a twilly scarf to hug my neck.

'As a representative of my company, I think it's meeting appropriate right? Oh I will bring bomber jackets and sneakers for changes', I am talking to myself and pack some stuff with me

Time passed by and I head down stairs to meet Jeong Woo. 

On the ride I keep re-reading the materials so I don't miss the points. Somehow my idealism and perfectionism are consuming me.

The meeting went smoothly and I had a few chats with the head of Pure Beauty, talking about the opportunities for a collaboration in much ease.

"Ms.Y/N, you are a talented young women, my team loves the ideas you brought up to the table. Looking forward for it. Have a great day"

I bowed to her, "Thank you, Ms.Kim. Looking forward to it too. See you next week", she smiles and I watch as Ms.Kim went further away

Suddenly my phone beeps. They are a reminder of my tattoo appointment and a text from someone

"Hey, you have not called me since you arrived there. You made me worry", a text said

I choose to completely ignore it and ask Jeong Woo to give me the changing clothes I brought earlier. I opened my coat and changes it to the bomber jacket. We sat in the lounge area to have a quick lunch.

"You had lots of tattoos as I recognize, they are so artistic", Jeong Woo gasped as I change my outer in front of him and leave me with just a t-shirt. I thought I am not going to go naked so it doesn't matter.

I bend down as I change my shoes and fixing my make up, "Thank you and I am getting them more today.."

Jeong Woo asks questions about my tattoos and I am happily telling him few of the stories as he drives me to the tattoo studio. 

I jump off the car and wave goodbye to Jeong Woo, I ask him to go home and strolling around alone after this, is much needed.

"Welcome! Nice to see you. Have you booked an appointment?", a young lady greeted me at the desk after the entrance

I was surprised quite a bit, "Hi! Nice yo to see you too. Yes I have under the name Y/N? Corea will do the tattoos for me. Am I correct?"

The young lady re-checked it and nods. She brought me to Corea, the tattoo artist.

"Hi Y/N! Finally the day has come! Nice to have chats with you. When did you arrive in Seoul?", he shook my hand and gesturing us to lounge at the sofa

I sat down excitedly, "You too! I arrived yesterday. Your place is really cool, by the way.  And you've done for so many artists too I reckon, awesome", my head follows every pictures hanging on the wall

He follows my direction and he says while handing  me some water bottle "Yeah, thank you. I have one singer also coming this afternoon, but my partner is doing it for him, she is better on achieveing what he wants this time. I think you will be thrilled to see!"

"Oh wow, I am curious now. I am more curious about the tattoos that he is getting, to be honest"

"Are you sure? I think you will change your curiosity after this afternoon, not just about his tattoos", he laughes. His partner waves at us, greeted me as she finishes her session. 

Me, Corea and his partner, Ae Ra, are final discussing about my tattoo, about the details, placement and so on. I am getting a medium sized tattoo on my side ribs, it's a paragraph that my dad wrote for me at my 17th birthday and additional minis on my arms.

Corea got up from his seat, "Alright all set! Let's do this now!"

He made us the stencils in few sizes, placing it on my desired body parts, we will do the medium sized first as it will take longer. Once I confirm which placement I like the most, I sit on the tattoo chair and Corea prepares for the process

The sensation is quite tingling, I squint my eyes once in a while, lightly blurted out some curse words . Corea just chuckles at my actions and calms me down. 

"That one...is...God please save me!", I feel the one near the rib bones are more stinging. 

He laughs and keeps going, "Relax, Y/N. Just hold it for another minutes. It won't be so painful after this part is done"

"Yeah right! For another 30 minutes, you mean. Okay, tell me some interesting stories, Corea. Distract me"

"Okay, I am testing my ability to multitask now then.. Let me think of a story", Corea then slowly telling me a story while tattooing me. They are about the funny stories while tattoing some of the famous people that were coming to the studio.

Feeling quite distracted from the pain, I heard noises that are coming from the entrance, seems like few guys are loudly chatting while entering, then I heard faintly someone, or might be Ae Ra is gretting them.

"Are they the ones you were talking about earlier?", I asked Corea, while trying to take a glance to other side of the room

"Yeah, they are here. Don't be too excited, I am still outlining your tattos, Y/N", Corea took a peek on me and give me a small smirk

After a good 50 minutes session, my side ribs tattoos are done and I am in love with the result by seeing it through the mirror. Corea is re-checking it, after we satisfied, he is cleansing it with alcohol and wrapping it with tattoo wrap.

"We will continue with the minis after break if you want. Or do you prefer some other days?"

"I don't mind doing it today though"

I follow his directions then  he paused. He asks me to hold my steps for a minute, as he is making sure if the person on that side of the room is okay if other people took a peek, then Corea makes a gestures for me to further follow him.

There is where I spot one guy laying on the chair, getting his tattoo done "Wow, what a nice ink!"

"Uh thank you", Jung Kook replied with a thin smile

"Planning to have it one sleeve today?", I was curious, looking at his beautiful tattos from side to side, indeed it is beautiful

He glances at his tattoo artist and giggles, "I guess so. If I don't pass out just yet"

Ae Ra laughes with him "You are strong, Jung Kook. Tell me what JK can't do. You sure know him right, he is famous", she asked me with assuring eyes and looking back at Jung Kook, teasing him.

"Yeah, of course Jung Kook of BTS. Who doesn't? Anyway, gotta go grab some coffee. Be right back", I give him a little smirk  and leave them for the coffee shop next by their place. I can see Jung Kook is stunned and leave his mouth agape.

At the back of my mind, 'Is that really Jeon Jung Kook?'

'She knows me, how come is she being so calm?', Jung Kook contemplates at the back of his mind. It makes him curious about her.
