Twice one-shots

inked hearts (sahyo)

Sana admired the delicate lines of her new tattoo in the mirror. Jihyo had done it again, capturing the intricate design perfectly on her skin. "It's beautiful, Jihyo. You have such a gift," she said, turning to face the tattoo artist.

Jihyo, with her short-cropped hair and confident demeanor, smiled warmly. "I'm glad you like it, Sana. It's always a pleasure to work on your ideas."

Sana's heart fluttered at the compliment. There was something about Jihyo that drew her in-her talent, her kindness, and the quiet strength she exuded. "I'll see you next time," she said, a hint of reluctance in her voice.

"See you, Sana," Jihyo replied, watching as Sana made her way down the stairs to the cafe below.

The aroma of freshly brewed coffee greeted Sana as she entered the cozy space. She waved to the barista, and her friend Nayeon, and headed out into the sunny afternoon.
A few days later, Sana met up with her friends at their usual spot in the cafe. Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu were already there, chatting animatedly.

"Sana! Over here!" Momo called, waving her over.

Sana joined them, smiling brightly. "Hey, everyone. What's up?"

"We've been talking," Mina began, her eyes twinkling with curiosity. "You've been disappearing upstairs a lot lately. What's going on?"

Sana's cheeks flushed. "Oh, I've just been getting some new tattoos," she said nonchalantly.

"From that cool artist upstairs?" Chaeyoung asked, her interest piqued. "I've heard great things about her work."

"Yeah, Jihyo. She's amazing," Sana replied, her eyes lighting up.

"You seem to really like her," Jeongyeon noted, a teasing grin on her face. "More than just her tattoos, maybe?"

Sana's blush deepened. "Well, she's really talented, and... yeah, I do like her."

Nayeon leaned forward, her curiosity getting the better of her. "Why don't we go check it out? Maybe we can meet her."

Sana hesitated, then nodded. "Alright, but be cool, okay? She's a bit reserved."

The group finished their drinks and made their way up the narrow staircase to the tattoo parlor. The space was small but inviting, with walls adorned with Jihyo's artwork.

Jihyo looked up from her sketchbook as they entered. "Hey, Sana. And you must be her friends. Welcome."

Sana introduced everyone, and they exchanged pleasantries. Despite her initial shyness, Jihyo found herself warming up to the group, especially when they expressed genuine interest in her work.

As the evening went on, they chatted about tattoos, art, and life. Sana watched Jihyo interact with her friends, feeling a sense of pride and affection. She realized how much she wanted Jihyo to be a part of her world.

Before they left, Nayeon spoke up. "Hey, Jihyo, we're having a little hangout this weekend. Would you like to join us? It would be great to get to know you better."Jihyo glanced at Sana, who gave her an encouraging smile. "Sure, I'd love to," she said, feeling a flutter of excitement.
The weekend arrived, and the group gathered at a local park. They set up a picnic, and the atmosphere was filled with laughter and camaraderie. Jihyo felt surprisingly at ease, enjoying the friendly banter and the warm company.

Sana and Jihyo found a moment alone, sitting together on a blanket, watching their friends play a game of frisbee. "Thanks for coming, Jihyo. It means a lot to me," Sana said, her voice soft.

Jihyo smiled, reaching out to gently hold Sana's hand. "I'm glad I came. Your friends are great, and... I like being around you."

Sana's heart swelled with happiness. "I like being around you too, Jihyo. A lot."

Jihyo looked into Sana's eyes, her expression tender. "Sana, I've been wanting to tell you... I feel something special between us. I don't want to just be your tattoo artist."

Sana's eyes sparkled with emotion. "I feel it too, Jihyo. I want to be more than just a client."

They leaned in, their lips meeting in a sweet, gentle kiss. It felt like the beginning of something beautiful, a connection that went beyond tattoos and casual meetings.As they pulled away, Jihyo rested her forehead against Sana's. "I'm so glad you came into my life, Sana."

"Me too, Jihyo," Sana whispered, feeling a deep sense of contentment.

And so, surrounded by friends and the warmth of the afternoon sun, Sana and Jihyo started a new chapter in their lives. A love story inked in their hearts, destined to grow with each passing day.
