Black & Grey

Yoochan, who impulsively visits a tattoo shop, meets Jungeol, a skilled but reserved tattoo artist, by chance. Yoochan has money, time, and passion, but for some reason, it’s very difficult for him to get a tattoo from the demanding Jungeol.

“I’ll go now. I’ll send you DMs sometimes, so don’t ignore them and reply well. And please like my posts.”

“I’ll think about it.”

Even though the tattoo shop has a policy against tattooing minors, Yoochan tries to persuade Jungeol with his usual charm.

“Don’t think about it, just do it. And you have to give me a tattoo later. I’ll visit again during vacation if I have time.”

“Come back in two years, it’s annoying.”

“I’ll send you DMs, Jungeol!”

Jungeol firmly refuses, saying he’ll do it in two years.

I went to the shop, but you weren’t there. They said you went to the US? Have a great time. I’ll visit again later haha

But as Yoochan persistently pursues, Jungeol’s closed heart starts to open little by little…

“Come here for a second.”

Jungeol stood still without moving. With a mix of slight dissatisfaction and longing in his eyes, Yoochan looked puzzled and slowly walked towards Jungeol, staggering.

Seeing Jungeol standing crookedly by the bed, Yoochan let out a long sigh, feeling his stomach churn from the alcohol, and then happily grabbed Jungeol’s cheek and said,

“Listen, I have something to tell you.”

Jungeol silently stared at Yoochan with narrowed eyes. Yoochan wrapped his heavy arm around Jungeol’s waist and said,

“Why do you say I’m reckless?”

Yoochan added, looking slightly hurt,

“Even if I seems reckless, can’t you trust me and meet me?”

Not noticing Jungeol’s clenched teeth, Yoochan closed his eyes and playfully muttered,

“…I really like you…”
