those onyx orbs Taehyung's hazelnut ones were staring into seemed to have been hypnotized by a boundless abyss, leaving the blonde to figure out where he had witnessed those pair of eyes, why were they familiar yet unfamiliar to him? perhaps, a deja vu?
he was snapped out of his daze by the ravenette beckoning him to take a seat in the reclining chair near him. his palms were sweating, something that was common to him when he was nervous.
Taehyung noticed that the sense of familiarity hadn't only dawned on him but the man in front of him too , as he found the tattooist staring at him ,a little too long for his liking.
the awkward silence lasted mere minutes as the ravenette breathed out, " has any design caught your eye? if yes,where would you like to get it?",
his gravel , husky voice that was lowered by a couple of octaves undoubtedly astonished the blonde as he spoke , " I have come here for the purpose of excising my prior tattoo, and that design sits on my left hip . "
" very well , can you lift your shirt so I can see the size of the tattoo? "
the blonde was hesitant for a second before he lifted up the hem of his shirt a bit for the design to be visible to the tattooist , who now had leaned forward to take a look.
Taehyung could not help but stare at the ravenette's ethereal features, how his locks fell messily over his eyes, as if those seraphic orbs were only meant to be witnessed by those entitled by the angels themselves, hiding his eyebrow piercings that were peeking through them. his steady gaze then flitted to his perfectly shaped nose and finally it halted on his lips. he wasn't exactly staring at those plump fold of flesh but rather the moles that decorated the crease under his lower lip, on the tip of his nose and anywhere where his eyes roamed.
he was so lost in those 'beauty specks' that once he managed to tear his gaze from them , their eyes met, piercing onyx orbs meeting startled hazelnut ones from beneath , and the hair rose on the back of the blonde's neck.
" well I have taken a good look at it , all you need to do is sit still for me and relax. the ink is light and the laser treatment will be enough to erase it, but it might leave a scar. "
the deep tone boomed and the raven got up to bring in the equipments needed. Taehyung was thankful to God for not being questioned why he wanted to erase the name, which he thought the tattooist had assumed to be of his ex lover.
Taehyung hummed and sat straight, seemingly tensed. a year back, he had his ex by his side when he was getting tatted up ,now he was all alone, and so the fear set in him.
he was so lost in his thoughts that he took long to notice the tattooist before him, sitting with the laser in his hand, asking him to tuck his shirt up and roll his pants down a bit.
" ohh sorry, i was just wondering if you have a towel or something so I could cover myself a bit ", the blonde was uncomfortable with the idea of showing his skin much, though he knew the tattooist was doing nothing but his job.
" huh for wh- oh yeah , sure ", the raven replied after a pause and returned back with a towel.
" put it on your lap, and don't cover up much skin or I won't be able to treat your tattoo, you would not want the laser to cut through your skin now, would you? " , he prompted with slight sarcasm dripping in his voice, his thin lips curving up a bit at the edges.
the blonde gaped at him and he, in a swift move rolled his pants down to his knees, covering a portion of his thighs with the towel and glued his palms to the recliner's arms, only the heavens knew how nervous he was now.
the raven sensed it but chose to keep mum. he took in the little pout that lingered on the blonde's face,and chuckled to himself. he saw how steep his client was now, eyebrows furrowed and staring at absolutely nothing in space.

the touch of the ravenette's fingers against the blonde's skin didn't fail to elicit a shudder from the latter, the sudden sensation feeling like an electric shock jolting up his body, forcing his heart to pound. he could not exactly fathom the sensation that rose up within his body, why did his body react to the touch in that way? strange.
although the feeling was alien to the blonde, he didn't flinch away, the raven's cold fingers surprisingly felt warm against the blonde's hips, them swiftly and professionally doing their job. the laser did cut through his skin a bit, he could feel it and whimpered at the contact , yet his decision to veer his mind off to the distinct features of the tattooist somehow curtailed the pain.
he instead averted his gaze from his fingers to his tattooed biceps that flexed, the intricate and delicate monotonic inks were followed by vividly fluorescent hues winding up all the way from his fingers to his toned arm, little details of the designs accentuated in his neck area, amused the blonde.

the laser treatment went on for a couple hours, with the blonde getting distracted either with his tattooist's visage or certain flashbacks of his ex lover which often made his eyes sting, yet he managed to retreat the path of those tears.
the ravenette was surprised as to how calm his client was, despite the visible pain the laser inflicted, and he absolutely tried his best to be as gentle as possible, for he didn't wish to see him in pain for reasons unbeknownst to him. perhaps he thought he was fragile. he had to admit that his client was a rare beauty, a kind that was alluring in the eyes of most and he found himself getting distracted quite often.
all the while, their eyes kept meeting each other momentarily and a faint blush of crimson would suffuse their cheeks. yet the two didn't seem to mind it.
" and it's done ",whispered the raven who now sat back on his chair and observed the redness on the spot where once a name sat inked. he got up to bring a sterilised gauze to bandage the area.
" i'll be giving an ointment that you have to apply on your hip area for three days and keep it bandaged, avoid any kind of water contact there and the redness will start to faint " , advising the blonde, he stood up , helping his client to get on his feet too.
" thank you, JK ", the blonde took the ointment and whimpered a bit when he felt the stinging sensation.
he glanced up to find the raven staring at him with an unreadable expression.
" by the way, I'm Jungkook, Jeon Jungkook, in case you were wondering, " he muttered, eyes raking over the blonde's body now , slowly before he lifted his gaze to meet the blonde's.
" I-I'm Kim Taehyung, and thanks again ", surely did he feel intimidated under his gaze, yet managed to stutter out, and once he did , he made his way out of the studio's doorway, sparing a last glance at the tattooist, but his ears failed to pick up the whispers trailing behind him,
" So we meet again, Kim Taehyung."
