46. Emergency

Jeongguk's 1st Person POV

"You did an incredible job, man! This is seriously amazing! I'll be showing this off to everyone I know." My client, Chad, praises me as he continues to stare at his arm through our full body mirror in the shop. I spent hours tattooing a detailed head of Medusa on his left arm and I'm incredibly satisfied with how my art turned out. I'm also thrilled to hear that my client is ecstatic about his new tattoo.

"I'm really glad you like it, man," I tell the client. I cannot help but grin and be proud of my work. It's a gratifying feeling to watch people gawk and admire the tattoos that I've done on them. It's moments like this that make me glad that I pursued becoming a tattoo artist. I get to create amazing art for people to wear on their bodies. I've done a lot of pieces that have deep meanings for my clients. And, then, there are a lot of times when the tattoos are just simply fun. Whatever reason a person decides to get a tattoo, I'm just content that my art brings joy to my clients.

After Chad is done admiring his new tattoo, I briefly go over how to care for his tattoo while it heals and then I cover it up for him. Afterwards, I lead him to the front where Sana takes over to handle the payment.

Now that I'm free for an hour, I head to the office where Yoongi said he'd wait for me. He brought me a burger and fries from a restaurant that he and Cassie went to earlier for lunch.

"Yoongi, you've been here at the shop for almost three hours! Isn't it your day off?!" I teasingly reprimand the man as I enter the office. I head over to the mini fridge that is placed in one side of the office and grab the food he brought me. I head over to the microwave, near the fridge, to warm up my food. We do have a break room at the back of the shop, but I usually tend to eat in the office a lot with Yoongi and Namjoon.

"I got all my major errands done earlier, this morning. I was also able to spend time with Cassie. And, when I got here, I decided to chat with Namjoon, then with Felix and Irene. And, I don't know, I guess I just had the urge to sketch. So, I've just been hanging out in here drawing. I figure I'd wait for you to be done so I can hang out with you while you take your break." Yoongi looks up at me and I naturally grin at him because of the cute gummy smile he's flashing me.

"Well, I'm glad you stuck around, Yoongz," I say as I walk over to him while my food is warming up in the microwave. I lean down and give him a sweet kiss. Then, I stand back up and remain standing next to him while he goes back to focusing on an air balloon drawing that he's working on.

I take this time to grab my phone out of my back pocket to check messages and missed calls. And, when I unlock my screen, I'm surprised to see that I'm inundated with a lot of missed calls from my dad and my brother.

I pull up the texts that my brother sent me, and my heart drops when I find out the reason for all the calls and texts from him and my dad.

"Kook, are you okay?" Yoongi notices how perplexed I appear. He immediately stands up from the desk chair and has me sit on it.

As I'm sitting down, Yoongi starts to rub my back. "What's wrong, Jeongguk?"

"My mom fainted at work. They suspect it's a heart attack. I don't know how serious it is. The ambulance took her to the hospital and my dad and brother are there now along with my aunt. I-I need to go." I'm completely shaken up.

My mom and I are so close. She's my rock. While my dad preferred me to choose a practical career, my mom was the one who believed in me and pushed me to follow my dreams. My mom is literally my number one fan. I'm proud of the man I've become and it's all thanks to the way she raised me. The idea that my mom is in the hospital hurts to think about. I'm starting to think all these worst case scenarios in my head. I can't even think properly right now.
