After a quick phone call with Yeonjun to talk about when they should schedule the appointment with Jiyeon, he called her.
She was almost overly excited that he called her back for some reason, but not in an unpleasant way.
More as if the older woman had already been desperately looking for someone to stay at the flat, but no one suited her taste. Soobin just really hoped they would be able to pull off the whole couple thing well enough for her to believe it.
Which got him thinking; maybe they should practice being close with each other before they met up with Jiyeon? It would definitely help them at acting more natural for sure because as much as he liked Yeonjun, he was sure that it would make him feel more at ease if they 'practiced', before they did the whole thing.
Soobin was practicing a speech with his phone in hand about how he could propose the idea of his, but him being his awkward self-made everything sound cringey and utterly terrible.
Thankfully, Yeonjun seemed to have the same idea, because he got pulled out of his thoughts by the younger man calling him and asking him if he wanted to come over to talk about some things and also come up with nicknames and all that.
Yeonjun told him to meet him after he was done with work and to his surprise, the address was the location of a tattoo parlor. It only dawned on him now that he literally had no clue about what Yeonjun's profession was or literally anything about the other man. This really had been a good idea.
"Hey! You could have come in, too, you know? Sorry for the wait --the last client, his tattoo, took longer than expected, and then I needed to clean up and make sure everything was locked up."
"So, you work as a tattoo artist?"
There was something adorable about the way Yeonjun smiled and his eyes started to sparkle. "Yes, but I am also the owner of the shop." --now that was an interesting fact. Soobin took a step back and looked at the shop behind them.
You could see through the glass front and into the shop; there were loads of posters on the wall, even a few plants if his eyes weren't playing tricks on him, and it overall left a really friendly impression.
It was so different from what he had thought a tattoo parlor would look like. Then again, in his hometown tattoos weren't really a thing and his grandmother had continuously told him that only thugs had tattoos.
"Do you maybe want to come inside and take a look?"
"Uhm, if you don't mind? You just locked up the place after all."
Yeonjun smiled at him again and Soobin suddenly felt nervous as he watched him smile that brightly and started to unlock the door again.
It was not something common for him to happen -- though maybe now that Yeonjun and he would be roommates it maybe would be, that he stepped into a tattoo parlor. He shook his head and forced the tingly feeling as he followed Yeonjun into the shop away.
