Jeongguk is in his office going through some paperworks when someone knocks on the door.

"come in" with that the said person comes in with an iPad on his hand.

"sir, Your appointment for your tattoo is at 5 pm today." Hoseok also known as J-hope said. Hoseok is Jeongguk's assistant. He is responsible for all his scheduling work. And today Jeongguk have his tattoo appointment.

Jeongguk is a person who loves tattoos, and that's why he finally decided to ink up. He have few tattoos here and there but he have a vision in mind he wants to complete. He sees them as a form of art. Every tattoo has its own meaning to him.

Jeongguk's not the type to make appointments. If he wants to get something he will simply go without a care. But this time it was different? His prior tattoo artist may not have fucked up his tattoo and got himself killed right after. That's what you get for not doing your job right in Jeongguk's world. And messing up a tattoo that's going to be in his body for life costed him his life.

So he tells his assistant to find the best tattoo artist in town and make an appointment.

Jeongguk gets himself ready as his driver gets the car. He finally pulls up to the small tattoo shop which is placed in-between two large buildings.

The place looks different from any other tattoo shop. It doesn't look sketchy at all. If anything it looks lively, paintings along with pictures of tattoos hanging on the wall. Jeongguk takes in his surrounding. He is soon called in by one of the workers who guides him to his own personal room which he of course paid extra for.

He walks into a spacious room with a bed like chair. pictures of tattoo designs scattered in the walls. And there his tattoo artist sits with a mask and a tattoo gun in his hand waiting for his client.

Jeongguk sits down and explained what kind of design he wants even though it was already submitted when the appointment was made. He is getting a turtle on his shoulder and for the first time Jeongguk have no idea why he was getting a stupid turtle inked in his body.

"Any reason why you're getting a turtle?" the artist asks. Jeongguk being in shock by his deep voice is an understatement. Jeongguk didn't want to judge but even with his artist's face half covered, he does not look like a guy with a deep voice. 

"No." Jeongguk answered with a cold tone not really in a mood to talk right now hoping for the other to get the signal as well.

"My grandma used to tell me random facts." Taehyung giggles. Jeongguk turns to get a good look at the artist who is now drawing on his shoulder.

"Turtle tattoos represent love patience and courage" Taehyung continues trying to make small conversation to distract the other from the pain. But what he doesn't know is that Jeongguk is used to pain. One more reason he loves getting tattoos is because of the pain, it gives him comfort no matter how weird it sounds.

"She also said turtles represent stability in life, protection and innocence"

Stability in life Jeongguk laughed at his thought. Taehyung confused on why Jeongguk is laughing. Did he say something funny?

"What's your name?" Jeongguk finally interested enough to ask.

"oh...uh, it's Taehyung" he points at his desk where his name is displayed. He at least expected to know his name. Without saying anything more Taehyung finishes up his tattoo and tells his client about after care.

Jeongguk is about to leave when Taehyung takes off his mask to talk to one his employee. That moment when jungkook looks up at Tae, it's as if time has been stoped. Everything is in slow motion for him. He is starstruck by his beauty.

"I want him" Jeongguk's last word to his body guard as he got in the car and drove off.
