MARKED [namjin+taekook fanfic]

Chapter-2

"Please Jin hyung! It's not a big deal" Kim Taehyung wailed loudly. "Just one please hyung"

Seokjin sighed and put down his needles. He was busy working when Taehyung decided to barge in and throw a tantrum for the hundredth time this week.

"Leave me alone Tae. I'm working right now"

"No! Not before you listen to me" and he stomped out of the room and into the waiting lounge.

"Yoongi can you attend Miss Park please?" Seokjin got up and apologized to the woman who was chuckling slightly. "I'm sorry about him. My coworker will apply the ointment and treat your tattoo"

Miss Park nodded and smiled at the distressed-looking male who hurried out after his brother.

Taehyung sat with his arms crossed and cheeks puffed out. Seokjin would've found him cute if he wasn't behaving like a jerk.

"Tae we have talked about it already. You are not getting a tattoo" Seokjin said sitting across from his brother.

"But why? I'm 22"

"You might be an adult but I won't let you near any tattoo ink."

Taehyung sulked which really annoyed Seokjin.

"Why do you want a tattoo out of the blue? Weren't you scared of needles?"

"W-well I want it. No reason"

Seokjin knew his brother wasn't telling him the exact reason but he didn't pry too much. He doesn't want to deal with him right now.

Before Seokjin could kick his brother out, a certain 23-year-old man with every inch of visible skin covered in ink entered his parlor with a grin across his face.

"Namjoon hyung!" Taehyung jumped from the couch and wrapped his arms around the newcomer's torso.
"Hyung! Jin hyung won't listen to me" Taehyung complained in the most babyish voice his deep throat could muster.

"What's up Taetae?" Namjokn ruffled Taehyung's hair, making Seokjin feel nauseated.

"Jin hyung won't let me get a tattoo" Taehyung pouted and Seokjin tried his best to control the urge to punch his face.

"I want to look cool like you hyung" Taehyung mumbled softly. "Please convince Jin hyung"

"Why Jinnie? What's the problem?" Namjoon and Taehyung both looked at Seokjin with puppy dog eyes. That's it. That was the limit of Seokjin's patience.

"First of all it's Seokjin hyung for you" he pointed a crooked finger at Namjoon who gulped.

"And you, Kim Taehyung," Taehyung froze on his spot because his brother rarely used his full name. And when he did, it meant he was extremely angry. "You better get your ass out of here. If you get anything less than a B in next week's exam, I'm cutting your allowance. Understood?"

The two Kims slowly nodded. No one wants to cross an angry Seokjin.

....

Namjoon calmly flipped through the thick catalog that was full of designs. He was here again to get a new tattoo.

"This one" he pointed at a single stroke rose. Seokjin nodded and took the design from him. "Over here" he showed his left hand's pinky finger to Seokjin.

"Any reason?" He asked.

"No, just felt like it"

"Does any of your tattoos have a meaning behind them or not?"

Namjoon thought for a second before replying, "This is the first tattoo I got back in high school. That's all I remember" he pointed at three tiny dragon tattoos behind his right ear.

Seokjin shook his head before picking up a needle. "It's going to hurt a bit," he said, sterilizing his tools with antiseptic.

"As if I don't already know" Namjoon winked once and closed his eyes, feeling the thin metal needle pierce and burn his skin.

...

"Wake up, it's done" Seokjin shook the sleeping boy and stretched his arms after getting up from his seat.

Namjoon brought his hands near his face and admired the dainty rose that Seokjin had inked on his long finger.

"You have magic hands Jinnie. I didn't feel any pain"

"Stop calling me Jinnie"

Namjoon laughed, "No, Jinnie is cute. I like it"

"But I don't"

They both got out of the small room and Seokjin handed Namjoon his bill.

"Don't move your finger too much. Apply the cream three times a day and avoid contact with water" Seokjin stated, handing him his change.

"Yeah yeah I know how to take care of tattoos," Namjoon said waving his tattooed arms in front of Seokjin's face.

"How about we grab a drink? Just you and me?"

Seokjin smacked the back of Namjoon's head before pushing him out of his parlor.

Namjoon simply laughed and blew him a flying kiss before disappearing. Seokjin ran his hands through his hair. When will Kim Namjoon stop bothering him?
