Ink & Bandaids

✧ Ink & Band-Aids ✧
[ minsung • slow burn • single dad × teen therapist • hurt/comfort • age gap • bad boy!minho × soft clumsy!jisung ]

Lee Minho doesn't do feelings.
He does tattoos, motorcycles, black coffee at 3 a.m., and raising his 13-year-old daughter alone after her mom bailed.
He definitely doesn't do pastel offices, glitter gel pens, or clumsy therapists who blush every time he walks into the room.

Han Jisung is sunshine wrapped in cardigans and anxiety.
He trips over air, cries at Disney movies, and believes every broken teenager deserves someone who stays.
He was NOT prepared for the walking red flag that is Lee Minho, leather jacket, neck tattoos, zero filter, and a stare that makes Jisung forget how words work.

When Minho's daughter Sooyoung starts therapy for her depression, sparks weren't supposed to fly.
But between late-night emergency calls, shared ramen at 2 a.m., Minho growling "you're too soft for this world" and Jisung whispering "then let me be soft for both of you," something dangerous starts blooming.

One is ink and sharp edges.
The other is band-aids and vanilla candles.
And somehow, they fit.

↺ slow burn so slow you'll want to throw your phone
↺ grumpy tattooed single dad minho who falls first (and falls HARD)
↺ shy therapist jisung who trips into love (literally)
↺ teen daughter who becomes the ultimate wingwoman
↺ found family, mental health rep, tears, laughter.
↺ "who hurt you?" "my daughter's therapist in round glasses"

warnings: discussions of depression, self-harm (not graphic), age gap (all legal), explicit chapters later, minho has a dirty mouth and jisung has a praise kink we will get there

"you can't fix her, glitter pen."
"i'm not trying to fix her. i'm trying to stay."
minho's jaw clenched. "then stay for me too."
