Something Great | Jinsoo

"It won't hurt that much" she said as she sat on the opposite side of the room trying to comfort the man in the gloved hands of a tattoo artist.

"You don't know that!" Jin spat back frantically shaking his head.

"Oh but I do" Jisoo pulled up her sleeve to reveal a freshly inked moon tattoo.

"Plus yours will only be an outline while mine was filled in, coward"

"Why are we even getting matching tattoos? We're not even a couple." Jin complained while trying to avoid the sight of the needle piercing through his skin.

"Who says only couples get to have matching tats?" Jisoo replied grinning at his subtle gestures of pain he so desperately tried to hide.

"It's done." The tattoo artist announced as he lifted up his hand from Jin's arm.

Silence took over as the tattoo artist left the room after giving instructions about the inks. Both Jin and Jisoo were quiet as they stared at each other's inked skin.

"That's actually pretty cool." Jin mentioned. "But my mother would probably kill me for this..."

Jisoo gave him a worried look and he just stared back at her then they both burst into a fit of laughter.

"Holy shit, I didn't actually consider that!" Jisoo let out as she was recovering from the fit of laughter.

"You and your impulsive decisions, young lady" Jin pretended to reprimand the girl laughing like crazy besides him.

"Hey, you agreed too! And I think it was worth it anyway." She huffed and crossed her arms.

"Ah two med students breaking rules now" Jin shook his head with a smirk plastered on his face.

"Speaking of, this med student has med school to attend to in a few hours so we better get going." Jisoo gestured to her self then at the door.

"Wasn't Jin supposed to drive you to uni today?" Jennie asked.

She and Jisoo were driving to school. Jennie had unfortunately been woken up by Jisoo's alarm that she forgot to turn off.

"Yeah, but you saw him knocked out the couch." Jisoo answered as a-matter-of-fact. She had to admit to be a bit dismayed by that but it would also be great to spend time with her other best friend she hasn't seen for long. The only difference was she got to talk to Jennie regularly unlike Jin.

"It's still a bit early, Ji. Maybe you could introduce me to your friends here" Jennie suggested as they drove through the gates of the school.

Jisoo continued to stare outside showing a bit of reluctance with Jennie's request. "I guess" she manage to answer unsurely.

"What's wrong? Don't tell me you still aren't comfortable with them?" Jennie worriedly asked.

Jisoo sighed before answering again. "It's just isn't easy to make new friends and start all over"

"Jisoo, we had to start somewhere when we became friends...gosh that was so long ago! Who would've thought we'd make it this far right?" Jennie realized she lost track of the topic because of another realization that she had this special bond with Jisoo for years now. She continued and tried to make her point "There will always be new people in life, and you'll need them someday so mind bringing down those walls a bit?"

"I know that, Jen. But it felt really traumatizing in a way to have you guys by my side or just in the next room everyday then one day *poof!* you're all gone and replaced" Jisoo explained so deep in into the topic that she made hand gestures to express her feelings.

They had already parked the car while they were still talking. Jisoo just fixed her things then both her and Jennie went out.

"This place is huge!" Jennie said in awe of the wide court by the building.

"Eh not really when you get used to it." Jisoo smiled.

The pair continued to converse through the walk to the main building. They've been catching up about recent events and silly little gossips. Jisoo explained some things Jennie had been curious about as she gazed over the new place.

"Hey Jennie, how's it going with Tae? Like honestly, what happened?" Jisoo questioned, concerned about her friend's love life.

"Well...we're on talking terms now" She then smiled sheepishly.

"That's good progress..." Was all Jisoo could say before they were approached by two students.

"Hi! You must be Jennie! I'm Kara, and you've already met Jinwoo here right?" The petite woman with long black hair chimed and held out her hand whixh Jennie gladly took.

"Hi, nice to meet you!" Jennie returned just as gleefully and gave Jinwoo a nod of acknowledgement aswell.

Jennie and Kara were getting to know each other since they still had time before class. Kara had been sharing how worked up she'd been with her life which Jennie shared thoughts with. Meanwhile, Jinwoo and Jisoo sat by the sheds.

"So...where's the others?" Jinwoo started up the conversation.

"Oh they're still asleep back at my place" Jisoo responded volubly.

Silence filled the atmosphere between them.

"Hey uhm...I'm sorry for yesterday, Lisa might've come off a bit harsh..." Jisoo said gently, trying to read Jinwoo's expression as the words came out of her mouth.

He stared at her for a bit then his stare fell to the ground and shook his head. "Nothing to be sorry about, you know Lisa, she's just teasing. And if it helps I really needed to go anyway."

Jisoo smiled warmly and apologetically which Jinwoo just smiled back.

"Time for class guys, let's get going!" Kara called their attention and bid her farewells to Jennie.

The two walked over to them with Jisoo noticing Kara's focus on her arm. "What?"

"What's that?" Kara pointed on the small inking on Jisoo's forearm.

"It's a moon...?"

"Obviously, but what is it?"

"Huh"

"Like a tattoo? Or did you just happen to doodle on yourself? A birthmark?"

"Oh! Yeah, a tattoo"

Jisoo had froze for a bit remembering the impulse she had the night she spent with him.

"When did you get it?" Kara continued to ask, filled with enthusiasm while Jinwoo just listened.

"Uh recently...very recently" Jisoo answered vaguely trying to put off this topic.

"Cool. Maybe me and Jinwoo here could get the same and we'd be matching!" Kara suggested causing Jennie to let out a cough.

"I'll get going now, see you at 5, Ji" Jennie and Jisoo hugged before she left.

"Better keep your couple tats to yourself" Jennie winked that earned her a slap on the shoulder. "Shut up"

"Bye!" Kara waved to the vehicle that Jennie probably didn't hear anymore.

"So what do you say we match up with that moon of yours?" Kara brought up again.

"Haha...let's just go for a different one...plus tattoos are painful, really. It isn't worth it." Jisoo tried to convince Kara, over exaggerating the pain part a bit.
