“I want you to design a tattoo for me,” Jungkook suddenly blurted out, making Taehyung look up at him with wide eyes from his notes. He had only around a month until his final exams and graduation so he was studying whenever he found some time.

He was currently in the backyard with Jungkook, studying while the elder was going through some papers, probably some work stuff.

“Are you serious?” Taehyung gasped. Jungkook had that big tattoo of cheetah on his back so it wouldn’t be his first tattoo but he was still taken aback that he wanted Taehyung to design something for him that he’d have on his body forever.

“I can’t think of anyone better, you are talented,” Jungkook shrugged.

“Um, okay, it will be my pleasure,” the younger blushed slightly: “Do you have some motive in mind?”

“I do,” the gangster nodded with a small smirk, knowing his lover was going to be shocked: “I want your name so you better come up with some cool font.”

Taehyung’s mouth fell open as he was staring back at the boss. Did he hear right? Was Jungkook for real?

“You…you wanna get a tattoo of my name?” Taehyung peeped, eyes filling with emotional tears.

“I do,” Jungkook nodded without any hint of hesitation. Taehyung knew it was kinda cliché, getting your lover’s name tattooed on your body but he couldn’t care less, it was an incredible gesture. It showed that Jungkook was counting on him in the future, not that he’d doubt him after a year of officially being together but it was still a huge step.

“Oh my god, I can’t believe it,” Taehyung stuttered out, still shocked.

“Well, you better believe it and get to work. Take as much time as you need, you can do it after your graduation, now you should focus on studying,” Jungkook reassured him, brushing his hair behind his ear, smiling slightly: “I wanna give you this, wanna show you how much you mean to me.”

“You don’t have to do that to prove anything, I know what you feel for me,” Taehyung reassured him.

“I know but I still wanna do it,” Jungkook replied and well, Taehyung was not going to protest. His head was spinning when he imagined seeing his name tattooed on Jungkook’s perfect body. There were some scars here and there but to Taehyung, they were all beautiful because they were part of Jungkook and part of who he was. He couldn’t believe Jungkook was willing to do this.

Taehyung never imagined that his graduation ceremony would be attended by gangsters, but here he was, along with his classmates, waiting for his turn to go take the diploma. The six guys along with BamBam and Yugyeom came to see him.

He nearly laughed when it was finally his turn and went for the diploma, looking at the audience only to see the eight guys smiling at him like proud parents. It was honestly comical that these ruthless gangsters were here, looking all proud and completely normal, while no one else in the audience had a clue who they were.

“Wow, Tae, so you are still with your boss man, huh?” Baekhyun chuckled teasingly when the ceremony was over and Taehyung was about to go to Jungkook and the others.

“Yeah, well, it surprisingly worked out, we got together and even Yoongi-hyung knows,” Taehyung smiled. He told his friends back then that Jeongguk was Yoongi’s boss, which wasn’t a lie, he just never told them what was their job.

“How did he take it?” Jisoo shimmied in.

“Not very well but he got over it. I mean, he isn’t still super happy about us but he is supportive for the most part,”
