@park sungjin *props his hand and uses it as pillar of support for his chin, patiently waiting for you to sing
uhuhh-
like that song which makes you feel great or .. idk
*he shrugs both of his shoulders, a bit lost for words, legs crossed with his head tilted

@kim jisung fair enough.
i'd love to sing for you anytime anyways, jisung.
he makes a face when you spin the stool, laughing as it slows down so he can face you.
a song i really like?
let me think for a moment..

@park sungjin adequate payment what are you saying? payment or not I'll still prolly..uhmm randomly ask you to sing for me
*he turns on his other side, kicking the foot rest on your stool so you'd spin a bit and face him as well
ahh, anything, oh no wait, how about a song which you really really like?

@kim jisung mm, so should i sing one of my songs?
he laughs softly, nudging you in return.
and then i can sing for you again when you actually do give me my tattoo.
so it can be adequate payment.

@park sungjin pfft, not necessarily serenade, silly.
*lightly pushes your arm, a low chuckle passes his lips
I guess you can just simply put it that way, yeah so it'll be quits
*he brushes the hair on his nape, gaze dropping on the floor

@kim jisung because i'll be singing with my band and it won't just be me.
he makes a face a bit before breaking into a smile.
oh, do you want me to serenade you, jisung? i can do that.
i really don't mind. i did get to see your designs, so it'd only be a fair trade, right?

@park sungjin why would it be different?
*an eye brow perks up while his head slowly titled to the side, glancing at you with slight confusion
how about... I don't know.. right now?
*he crosses his arms against his chest unaware of the amount of blinking he is doing
like.. like I;d really kinda wanna hear you sing in person
*he adverts his gaze elsewhere, kinda shy cuz of his random request

@kim jisung it does? you should get a little more used to it if i say it more often.
he flashes you a sheepish smile before he downs the last few drops of his drink.
nah, they might be less polished, but i can tell they still have a lot of meaning.
he turns to face you, chuckling softly and nodding.
i'll invite you to our performance sometime. i'd sing for you too, but i feel like watching us perform in a professional environment might be so different.

@park sungjin *he scrunches his nose a bit before covering his mouth, quite abashed because of your praise
it sounds weird when its coming from other people, wow
*he chuckled lowly before downing and finishing his drink; the back of his hand swiping along his lips to dry them
thank you. I'm glad you like them, I draw of them way back when I was in high school so some maly look like heh-
now that I've shown you my art.. I hope I can witness you perform live. I may not be into mainstream but all in all I like and appreciate music

@kim jisung you are very dedicated, and that's really admirable.
he hums a bit, a smile on his face as he flips through the pages.
all of these are beautiful, and some are really impressive. you're talented, jisung.
his eyes scan over the pages of designs, appreciating each and every one even if he wouldn't personally get that tattoo himself.

@park sungjin *he jumps up to sit back on his chair, crossing his legs once again a faint twinkle appeared on his eyes with hopes of you liking his personal works
ahhh... I- well, I tend to get carried away at times when it comes to my work. let's just say that's my way of showing how dedicated I am in my line of work
*he nods his head reaching for his glass; takes another quick swig his eyes fixated on you

@kim jisung well, we can work our way there. we'll eat real food and not just junk all the time.
although i have to admit, i pretty much survive on delivery food and convenience store food.
he chuckles sheepishly, nursing his drink as he waits before setting it onto the cloth on the counter and opening up the folder.
i've heard good things from you, dummy. you did say a lot before.
he sticks his tongue out playfully as he glances through the pages of your works.

@park sungjin *he sways his head a few times
I'm not sure if my body will even recognize healthy foods heh-
*he makes a weird and funny face before reaching out to pick the cherry that was floating in his almost emptied glass
well, that's a relief.. at least you have great immune system.
*his ears perked a bit when you agreed to look on his design, quickly shoving the cherry in his mouth and jumping off the stool
you have? from who though? I hope I won't disappoint you heh
*he walks over to his working station, pulling out a black clear folder from the glass drawer which held his personal works; he walks back to the mini bar and stood next to you, placing the folder on your lap

@kim jisung barely alive? shh. i'll bring you healthy food from time to time and make sure that you at least get naps.
he makes a face before his lips turn up into a smile.
i'll try my best to take care of myself. luckily, i don't get sick easily!
he hums a cheers as well, taking a sip from the glass.
oh, now is fine with me! i'm actually really curious to see your work, jisung.
i've heard good things.

@park sungjin pfft, don't be like me- I'm barely alive so like it doesn't matter if I'm doing healthy or not.. as for you, sir
*he turns a bit to his side so he could face you, this angle makes him see you perfectly
I don't think you can't afford being sick so yeah. gotta take care of yourself
*he lifts his glass and mouths 'cheers' as he take a quick sip before an idea pops in his mind
by the way, do you wanna see the designs now? or prolly a bit later?
*he places the glass over a cloth which was on top of the counter, humming in thought and leaning his back further

@kim jisung it's really no problem for me. i want to.
he chuckles softly, taking a sip of his drink as well, humming in satisfaction at the taste.
oh, thanks jisung.
he takes a seat on the bar stool, setting his drink on the counter for a moment.
if this is just a little less ty, then i feel like your condo is still great... but I'm sure you spend more time in here anyways.
he laughs under his breath, a smile on his lips.
don't worry! i'm busy, but not too busy to spend time with you. i'm used to the lack of sleep anyways. worst comes to worst, maybe i can just come here, chill for a while, and take a nap while you do some work. sounds a little weird but i don't know. we'll make it work.

@park sungjin *he takes a sip of his drink, prepping a hand on the counter to support his weight as he leans a little; a sense of contentment filling his chest at your words
gee.. thanks, this is the first time someone actually offered but yeah anyways, thank you.
*he places the glass on the counter and drags two bar stools pulling up one behind you and the other on his side and sits on it
pfft, it really is not much, well I mean my condo is a mess so I guess I made sure my studio looks a little less ty than the one I actually live in hah-
*he takes his glass and takes a long chug of the liqour
you being here is enough for payment.. yeah. and what I'm kinda worried about is if you aren't busy with your band right now? I mean you idols have really tough scheds right? aren't they gonna look for you?

@kim jisung oh,that was really kind of you to give him a job then! but still... it must get lonely. i'm pretty bored all the time, so i wouldn't mind helping fill that emptiness.
he chuckles sheepishly at your wink, his eyes watching your hands make their drinks.
i really do like it. it feels so much more homey, and it has a very... you feeling to it. no other man than kim jisung could own this place.
laughing softly, he takes the glass from you and hums a thank you.
really? i don't want to burden you or anything. maybe i can pay you back by treating you to a meal instead.

@park sungjin no, not really.. I'm used to being alone actually.. he was just recommended to me by a friend saying the man needs the extra income so yeah..
*he takes off the thin brown sweatshirt he was wearing to prevent his black shirt underneath from catching the dust and webs while sorting stuff out; he places it under the cabinet and starts taking out drinking glasses from the drawer and ice cubes on his mini fridge just beside the glass cabinet filled with his alcohol collections
you know usually tattoo studios aren't like this.. I've personally designed mine because.. well I spend most of my time here and I don't wanna bore myself to death and yeah I kinda thought of that as well.. I mean making my costumers feel a little less frightened heh- I'm glad you like it
*he gives off a playful wink before pouring a ready made lime juice and grenadine on the two tower glass, pouring the vodka afterwards and garnishes it with some cherries and olives
and if you ever decide to.. I'm not gonna make you pay for it, not one penny
*he nonchalantly gazed at you, handing you your glass

@kim jisung oh, maybe i can help with arranging some stuff later? it must be hard with your employee out.
he hums a bit, standing up and following you to the mini bar.
the tattoo studio is really nice though... i've actually never been inside of one until today. it's a lot less intimidating than i thought it would be.
he laughs sheepisbly, breaking into a grin.
maybe i really will let you tatoo my .

@park sungjin *he leans his back against the leather couch while crossing his legs
ooh I see.. well good job to you then-
*he snorts out a chuckle, both of his hands resting on his side
ah yeah, I do have help some days but right now, my employee is out to be with his family so yeah.. that is so nice of you, I'm greatly moved
*he stands up and was about to go back and get the painting, only to pause from his track and hesitantly glanced at sungjin
well.... I still have a few things to arrange but since you went through the trouble of going here, then alright..
*he went a few steps back and tugged on your hand before he points towards the mini bar just across the room

@kim jisung it wasn't too hard to find, and that's saying something because i usually with directions.
he laughs a bit, sitting down on the couch with a smile.
that sounds nice. also came here to keep you company because i remember you did say it gets lonely here.
vodka with juice? only if you take a break and drink with me...

@park sungjin *quite busy putting up his newly bought paintings, he jolted a bit out of surprise at the sudden knock but immediately recognizing who the owner of the voice was
ayye sungjin, wait!
*he speaks a little louder, settling the painting on the floor and walking out of the back room and towards the studio, a faint smile paints across his lips
glad you didn't had any trouble finding my place, but yeah come sit, wanna look at the designs now while chilling?
*slow paced took them in front of the couch where he initiated to sit down first
do you want tea? juice? beer? coffee? juice with vodka? heh

@kim jisung he knocks on the door of the parlor before walking in, looking around curiously as he had never been in a tattoo parlor before.
jisung? are you here? i'm here to take up that invitation and hang out, and possibly come up with an idea for my tattoo.

*stretches and lies down on the couch and just sleeps in here for eternity -
