Yoongi

Stepping back inside, he glanced toward Namjoon and Jin who stood up and put an instant smile on their face, ready for introduction.

"So, Jungkook, this is Jin. He's the oldest of us, doesn't do many tattoos, just some small ones. He speacializes in piercings."

Jin always had the tendency to be particularly polite to new people, he had very good social skills.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Jungkook. I must say I've known your work for a while and it's truly amazing."

He beamed at the younger, shaking his hand.

"The pleasure is all mine, thank you so much."

 When Jungkook dropped his hand and turned his gaze toward Namjoon, Yoongi spoke up once again to introduce.

"That's Namjoon, just does what I do. Sometimes we do tattoos together, he's cool."

The way Namjoon and Jungkook interacted was completely different. Namjoon always took different approaches from Jin's. He was smooth and sly, the two doing one of those bro handshakes that you think they would've made earlier behind everyone's back. Not even a word exchanged between them before all eyes directed back to Yoongi.

"Okay, well I can show you all my work, I keep it in a personal portfolio. But first, since there are so many things against the wall that all three of us have created over the years, we can check that out."

Jungkook nodded, following behind the small- figured boy. 

Hoseok

He took a seat near Jin, feeling most comfortable around him when he wasn't with Yoongi. Everyone still had their focus pointed toward Yoongi as he showcased all the popular designs. Hoseok took interest in his boyfriend's stories behind multiple tattoos, telling it with such description he could imagine it in his mind like he were there. 

Yoongi announced afterward that he would grab his portfolio and just be a minute. So, the rest of the group sat in silence for a moment, before Hoseok's silence spoke for himself.

"Did you do all of those?"

He pointed towards Jungkook's general direction, since there was no specific region of his body, he was covered from neck down in tattoos.

"Mhm- why do you ask?"

The brunette tried not to get his tongue in a twist.

"Oh-  just curious- I mean, you have the signature on every single one, so- I thought I'd ask."

He cursed himself mentally for stuttering too much, a habit he had when he was nervous. 

"Ah, well, yeah I did. How about Yoongi, he ever do his tattoos? He's got a lot."

Namjoon chimed in, speaking in place of Hoseok, having known Yoongi for years on end.

"Nah, I asked him if we could both do matching tattoos once, but we both do it on our own body, and he immediately disagreed, said he'd fuck it up."

"I'd still say no- and it's been years. I believe that talent is for certain people, like Jungkook."

The said tattoo artist returned, holding a large, white binder containing pictures. 

"Well from what I've seen so far, I think you could definitely do your own."

Jungkook complimented, gazing at the walls full of tattoo designs.

"Oh thanks, that's like nothing though compared to my portfolio."

"Then let's take a look."

Everyone huddled around the two boys and the binder. Flipping through the pages, Hoseok was competely awestruck seeing Yoongi's full potential. He had no idea why Yoongi had never bothered to tell him about these. 

When the binder came to a close, everyone stood, taking their designated seats once more.

"Those were awesome, you really impressed me. You know, while I looked at your work, the thought of getting a tattoo done by you came across my mind."

Jungkook put the statement out there, causing all to go into a state of shock, especially the other artist.

"Wait, what? Seriously? But no one has done your tattoos, like ever."

"Yeah, I've also never met someone as good as you. I don't think you realize your talent."

Some foriegn feeling hit Hoseok as he heard the conversation. It was slightly hinting earlier, but now, was continually working up. 

"Oh- well thanks, I just didn't want to suddenly break your streak, or whatever."

"Nah, you're fine, plus- I think it would be cool to get a tattoo actually done by someone else."

It took a moment for a response.

"Alright, then how does tomorrow sound?"

"Awesome-" 

Hoseok watched, the feeling intensifying, hearing the two make plans. 

"Well, I'll get going, I promised Wonshik I would visit him, guess I'll catch ya on the flip side."

After hearing the dook creak open and then close, Three of the four boys had gotten up and ready for work. Hoseok sat in silence, letting the converstaion soak in his mind. It was Jin who snapped him out of his trance.

"Hey, you've been pretty quiet, you ok?"

The younger glanced toward Jin, then let his gaze fall on the door.

"Yeah, I'm fine-"
