A certain latter couldn't help but keep staring at Taehyung through the corner of his eyes. In this cramped and tight tattoo store, the sweet flowery scent can be easily distinguished. The needles piercing through his skin didn't even bother him since he was too busy staring at the masked male.
As usual, Taehyung was curled up in Jeongguk's lap and peacefully listening to Jeongguk's calming heartbeat. He was waiting for his turn to get tattooed after Bogum finishes his own— a butterfly on his left chest, right below the collarbones.
It was a present from Jeongguk himself just because he felt the responsibility of a boss, despite what Bogum did to Taehyung the other day. Right now, he's currently regretting his decision, especially with Bogum intensely staring at his Taehyung.
"Kai, please make sure to make it extra painful," Jeongguk smiles even though you can hear the venom lacing in his voice. The tattoo artist raises his eyes brows in amusement, surprised by the appearance of jealousy from Jeongguk. Jeon Jeongguk isn't a man that shown many expressions, it was a fact that he has collected throughout his eight-year relationship with his boss.
Jeongguk pulls Taehyung closer by his waist and buries his nose into the crook of his neck, "mine," he mumbles, nipping lightly at the skin.
"Mmm, yours," Taehyung replies, rubbing his hands on Jeongguk's back as a tool of comfort. It was a phase they have to go through every day. Where Jeongguk would always get insecure and attempts to mark Taehyung in any way possible and Taehyung would always reply with, "Yes, I'm yours."
"Boss, you're disgusting," Kai said as he scrunches his face at the scene, "I think I'm gonna vomit rainbows from all these sweetness."
"Be thankful I haven't snitch your lips together yet," Jeongguk snaps backs, voice still muffled by Taehyung neck.
"Of course, boss," sarcasm laced in Kai's tone as he wipes off the excess ink pooling around the newly completed tattoo, "this guy's done." He raises one of his brows up as he turns his rolling chair around to face Jeongguk, "Lemme guess, next up is your little vixen?"
Jeongguk hums and stands up with Taehyung still clinging to him like a koala, "Baby, any specific tattoo you want?"
"Yeah," Taehyung said as he leans back to cup Jeongguk's cheeks, " I want a part of me on you."
The corner of Jeongguk's left lip twitches up, showing a half smirk, "didn't I say I'm not easy to get."
"Am I not trying hard enough?"
As if Jeongguk could see through the thick mask, he could imagine Taehyung frowning like a denied child," you want me?"
"yes."
"Then get me, my little vixen,"Jeongguk challenges, with that stupid smirk still on his face. He carefully lowers Taehyung back onto his feet and slides the mask off, not giving too much thought about the other two people seeing his Taehyung, "come on, let's get this over with and go back home. It's been a long day today."
Of course, Bogum is still astonished at how beautiful someone can be but Kai wasn't as surprised. All in all, he is the person who tattooed all the ink on the male's body so he had seen the face multiple times. However, it still couldn't keep him away from staring at Taehyung's flawless features.
"Maybe the hipbones this time," Jeongguk suggests, smirking at the Taehyung who seems to be picking up what Jeongguk is thinking.
"You're filthy," Taehyung chuckles and leans in to press a kiss against Jeongguk's lips.
Just as he was about to pull away, Jeongguk wraps his arms around Taehyung's waist, flushing their bodies together, "how nice would that look when I grip onto your hips while fucking into you," he whispers so that only Taehyung could hear.
Kai seems to catch up pretty quickly, he scrunches his face in distaste again, "now I know why you wanted it there, I don't really want to do it anymore," he said but still proceeds to take out a new set of tools and inks.
"A red koi fish would be nice," Taehyung suggests as he stares straight right into Jeongguk's eyes.
"Sure baby, if that's what you want."
Taehyung unbuttons his shirt as it slides off his smooth shoulders, falling down on the floor. Bogum gasp at the sudden nudeness, almost choking himself in the process and he couldn't take it anymore so he decides to look away (but once in a while, he does peek at Taehyung though.)
On Taehyung's heart, stood a beautiful butterfly with wings stretching all across his chest, a butterfly just like everyone else in the family. It was his first ever tattoo and also the closest to his heart (technically is.)
He lays down on the bench and relaxes his muscles, "free-hand?"
"Yes and pardon me," Kai tugs on Taehyung's pants until his hip bones visibly show.
"Don't hurt him or you're dead to me," the boss threatens with his icy cold voice.
"Yes, boss."
Kai dips his pen in the red ink and presses the needles to the skin, letting the machine penetrate the delicate skin. Taehyung winches in pain but it wasn't something he couldn't tolerate since this isn't his first time getting tattoo neither is it going to be his last time.

The red koi often has the connotation of love. Not just any love—a very intense love.
