ink • soonhoon (completed)

• fourteen •

jihoon and soonyoung sat next to each other on the couch as jihoon rested his head on soonyoung's shoulder and read. soonyoung scanned the pages as jihoon flipped through them but didn't care enough to really process everything, he was just glad to have jihoon beside him.

"hey can i ask you something?" soonyoung asked and jihoon looked from his book to soonyoung and nodded.

"why do you always wear long sleeves?" soonyoung asked and jihoon bit down on his lower lip. he was sure that soonyoung wouldn't judge him at this point but he was so scared of losing soonyoung because of his tattoos. soonyoung hadn't ever asked about jihoon's affiliation with the yakuza so he had no idea about him being the yakuza tattoo artist or how many tattoos jihoon had.

"because it's more comfortable," jihoon lied and soonyoung chuckled, it was so easy to tell when jihoon lied.

"you're a bad liar!" soonyoung teased and jihoon nodded, he truly was a horrible liar. he could lie just fine to people who didn't know him but when he tried to lie to wonwoo or mingyu they could tell right away and now soonyoung had reached that level as well.

"i'm just messing with you jihoon, you don't gotta tell me-"

"promise you won't judge me or run away?" jihoon asked and soonyoung nodded as he held out his pinky to make a pinky promise, it was childish but in soonyoung's mind it was a promise of the highest honor.

"i pinky promise!" soonyoung exclaimed and jihoon smiled as he intertwined their pinkies. he found how purely childish soonyoung was at times absolutely adorable.

they released each other's pinkies and jihoon placed his book on the floor next to the couch and began to pull his shirt off. soonyoung began to cover his eyes as he didn't want to make jihoon uncomfortable by seeing something that he wasn't supposed to see but jihoon just grinned, soonyoung was the most caring and gentle man he had ever met. jihoon placed his shirt next to the book on the floor before putting his hands onto soonyoung's hands and removed them so soonyoung could see. soonyoung's eyes wondered all over jihoon's body with excitement and wonder, it was gorgeous. the colors blended together beautifully to create these realistic paintings on jihoon's body, the black and white portions that peeked through in certain spots made the colors even more vibrant. the pictures of koi and flowers along with the dragon and occasional snake made the picture even more breathtaking. soonyoung was amazed, how could jihoon hide this and think it would scare him off?

"it's.. it's g-gorgeous.." soonyoung stuttered out as he looked and jihoon grabbed one of his hands and placed it on his own body giving soonyoung permission to touch his tattoos.

"a-are you okay with me touching them?" soonyoung asked, aware with past experiences, and jihoon just grinned and nodded.

"be gentle.. i trust you," jihoon answered and soonyoung nodded then placed a gentle kiss onto his shoulder. he wasn't going to go very far at all, he truly just wanted to admire jihoon's tattoos.

"did you do these yourself?" soonyoung asked as he traced over the lines with his fingers gently, jihoon nodded.

"i was the yakuza's tattoo artist, i've done work on nearly everyone in the yakuza." jihoon answered as he mentally cooed at how gentle soonyoung's touches were. jihoon had never felt alarmed by soonyoung's touches.

"can you give me a tattoo?" soonyoung asked and jihoon just chuckled.

"what would you want?" jihoon asked and soonyoung shrugged as he got lost within jihoon's gorgeous tattoos again.

"they're so pretty.." soonyoung cooed and jihoon just ran his fingers through soonyoung's hair.

"really? i've never thought of them as pretty." jihoon said and soonyoung looked up to him shocked, how could he not?

"you should," soonyoung spoke softly as he placed his head onto jihoon's chest and jihoon laid back onto the couch letting the boy lay on his chest. jihoon stroked his hair as soonyoung listened to jihoon's heart and felt the warmth from his chest.

seungkwan cracked a grin as he spotted the two laying together on the couch. he took a sip of his tea and pulled out his phone as he felt it vibrate in his pocket. he nearly spit out his tea as he spotted it was a text from wonwoo.

we're pulling into the driveway.

before seungkwan could even warn jihoon to put his shirt back on the front door beeped as it opened and in stepped wonwoo with mingyu and jun and minghao behind them. jihoon's eyes widened as he looked over and soonyoung froze in place. soonyoung didn't know much about jihoon and wonwoo's relationship but he had a sneaking suspicion that he was about to get either a nice scolding or an ass whooping. seungkwan peeked around the corner and began to watch the ongoing conflict.

"jihoon! how are you- where's your shirt?" wonwoo said as he reacted calmer than expected while in reality he was restraining yelling.

"on the ground." jihoon said as soonyoung sat up and handed it to jihoon. jihoon slipped on his shirt and he noticed wonwoo gripping onto mingyu's jacket hem to try and keep calm.

"i took it off because i was showing soonyoung my tattoos. he didn't do anything that i didn't let him do, i trust him and so should you." jihoon said and wonwoo let out a sigh as he nodded. he couldn't believe that he was actually not going to hit the kid but he had to trust jihoon.

"why are you four here anyway?"

"we're here to ask you two some questions about what to do now,"

"what do you mean now?"

"seungcheol is dead. wonwoo and i are running the yakuza."
