lilac tattoo «jung jaehyun»

day 4 일

Another day in my shop, I sighed. As the sound of the bell rings through my ears, I stood up and greeted the guy who came in, "Welcome!" he sat down on the couch and I gave him a portfolio of the tattoo designs and I stood infront of him, "or are there any suggestions?" I smiled. But he had no reply. He stayed quiet, I guess he needs some time. I went away but I felt something pulling back to him from my wrist, he pulled me back into a hug but I didn't know why so I look at him with confusion. "Don't you remember me Aeri? I missed you." I still couldnt get him. "Excuse me?" I replied back. "It's me, Yuta... don't you remember me?" I remembered him, we were close back then but I did hear rumours that he used to like me but I only saw him as senior in the high school I used to attend, he moved back to Japan when he graduated and he does look a lot more different from before. "I do, but you shouldn't be doing this." I tried to pull myself out of his hug but his grip grew stronger, he burried my face on my shoulder. "I know that you know I used to like you, but now since we all have our own stable jobs, can you give me a chance?" he looked at me, "I'm sorry Yuta, I really am but I really cant, I only see you as an older brother."
He already looked like he was going to cry. "Please? Just give me a chance, even though you'd think you'll never learn to love me but cant you? Who knows? I promise you I wont regret anything I'll do just for you even though you still wont like me in the end." his words moved me and he was a nice young man back in highschool so I had no choice but to agree. Not  out of pity but because I could feel his sincerity. "Alright then." a smile formed on his lips, "Thank you Aeri! I'll do my best!"
I wasn't sure if I was doung the right thing but I felt his sincerity, I guess that's all that mattered.
"But hey, I want my tattoo done here. I want a liliac tattoo on the side of my wrist, is it possible?" he gave me his widest smile. "Of course it is!" I agreed, the flower reminded me of Jaehyun but I just had to forget him. Who knows? Maybe I'll learn to love Yuta.
We went on with his tattoo session, I felt that he kept staring at me the whole session and it was a small one so we finished within a day. I stood up and proceeded to the counter and gestured him to follow me and calculated the price. While he was getting his wallet, I asked. "But why did you choose a liliac flower as a tattoo?" he reached out his payment over the counter, as I was giving his change, "It's because the tattooist who drew it for me represents a liliac tattoo." I got what he ment. "My first love." I smiled and it naturally came up, I never knew I would be someone else's liliac tattoo rather than Jaehyun's

I never knew I could feel this flattered by someone else rather than Jaehyun.
