"so many new boys.." jihoon said as he scanned the room and pulled up his sleeves. being the tattoo artist for the yakuza wasn't the easiest or safest job but it sure paid well.

"yeah, they've been coming off the streets into our grasp like crazy- you don't need details just get to work." mr.choi snapped.

jihoon sat onto his chair and waved the first boy to sit down, he looked awfully young compared to the others. jihoon just brushed it off and began the cleaning of the skin then shaved the area. mr.choi had told jihoon to give whatever tattoo seemed appropriate to the person which jihoon never understood, he just did his work as normal.

"relax, tell me if you need a break or water and we will take a break. if you pass out i won't stop working." jihoon said as he prepared the ink and his gun. the kid looked terrified but jihoon knew it wasn't his business.

jihoon glanced up to the kid once more before actually placing the tattoo gun to his skin. he was sweating and looked pale, jihoon could read easily that the kid was going to pass out but he didn't care. he was there to work not to care for the idiots who ended up working with the yakuza, himself included.

jihoon began and the kid just stared at the ceiling as he held back showing any pain, the others watched as they waited their turn. they were nervous but fascinated by jihoon working, mr.choi watched from a seat adjacent to where jihoon was. jihoon absolutely hated everyone's eyes on him as he worked but it was just one condition of the job, everyone watched you all the time.

"how long did yours take?" the kid finally asked as he broke the air. jihoon lifted the gun for a second and looked up to him then back to mr.choi looking for approval to talk to the kid. mr.choi nodded.

"altogether probably two days. i have more than you just see and it's more difficult to tattoo yourself." jihoon answered as the kid looked to him with wonder.

"you did them yourself?" the kid asked and jihoon nodded as he began to work on the kid's tattoo again.

"your skills are quite impressive." the kid complimented and mr.choi let out an aggravated groan.

"yes, hoon's skills are impressive now shut the hell up." mr.choi snapped and the kid looked back to the ceiling. jihoon continued working unfazed.

hours passed and jihoon finished the tattoo for the kid. it covered his right peck and right side of his ribcage and stretched to his shoulder and down his arm but stopped perfectly where it wouldn't show with a long sleeve shirt on. jihoon was proud of his work but he was already beginning to wear down, he knew he should've brought a coffee with him.

"ready for the next?" mr.choi asked and he looked to his watch.

"i have to disinfect everything." jihoon said plainly and mr.choi hummed.

"make it quick, do at least three more today." mr.choi demanded and jihoon nodded.

he wiped down the seat and his tattoo gun and got a fresh razor along with some new ink. jihoon didn't try to meddle within his misery but he already felt so exhausted after doing one tattoo, jihoon couldn't believe he had to do three more.

"next." jihoon said and another walked up.

jihoon looked him up and down decided where he should put the tattoo. jihoon held up his finger and instructed him to turn around by swinging his finger in a circle. the kid was older than the last but not by much, he was also way more built than the last. a back tattoo would do him fine.

"lay on your stomach." jihoon instructed and the kid laid down.

after hours upon hours of doing more work jihoon had finally completed the three more boys mr.choi had instructed. jihoon was on the brink of losing consciousness but he was just glad to be able to go home.

"i will wire your payment for today to you soon. i will see you next week." mr.choi said and jihoon nodded as he picked up his things.

"see you then." jihoon said as he picked up his bag of items. mr.choi sighed and nodded.
