Courting

"So you want to court me?" Taehyung's voice was a mix of surprise and curiosity as he looked up at Jungkook from his chair. The tattoo machine in Jungkook's hand buzzed quietly, etching the last details of a stunning peony into the client's skin. Jungkook had been waiting for the right moment to confess his feelings, and it had finally arrived.

Jungkook took a deep breath and nodded, not breaking eye contact. "Yeah, I do. I've liked you since the day you walked in here with that sketchbook full of incredible designs. You've got talent, Tae. And not just with a tattoo gun."

Taehyung's cheeks flushed a soft pink as he put down his own machine, the half-finished dragonfly on the client's ankle temporarily forgotten. "I had no idea," he murmured, his voice barely audible over the distant sounds of the city outside.

Jungkook leaned closer, his eyes shining with sincerity. "I know I've been subtle, but I didn't want to scare you off. You're an amazing artist, and even more importantly, an amazing person."

Taehyung's eyes searched Jungkook's, trying to gauge the seriousness of his words. "But you're my boss," he said, his voice filled with a hint of doubt.

Jungkook chuckled, placing a gentle hand on Taehyung's shoulder. "I know, and that's why I've held back. But I can't ignore it anymore. I want to take you out, show you a good time, get to know you outside of the shop." He paused, giving Taehyung a moment to process. "Give me a few reasons why I should let you court me," Taehyung said, a smirk playing on his lips.

Jungkook's grin widened as he ticked off points on his fingers. "I make a mean cup of coffee, I'm an excellent listener, and I promise to never ask you to work on a Sunday again if you go out with me."

Taehyung couldn't help but laugh, his heart racing. He had always felt a spark between them, but he never thought Jungkook felt the same way. "Alright, but you have to promise to be patient with me. I've never really... dated anyone before."

Jungkook's smile softened, his gaze warm and understanding. "I'll take it as slow as you want, Tae. This isn't about pressure or expectations. It's about us getting to know each other better."

Taehyung nodded, a small smile gracing his lips. "Okay, I'll give you seven days starting from Monday, and after those seven days, I'll decide whether or not I want to be with you, officially."

Jungkook's eyes lit up with excitement. "Seven days, huh? Challenge accepted." He leaned in closer, his breath tickling Taehyung's ear.
