As the door opens, the familiar sound of a bell rings softly.
You're here?
Eun Gyeol, who was leaning against the workstation, waved with a smile in his eyes. His snow-white hair glowed faintly under the lights, and his dark red eyes were already scanning his guest's body. His sly smile remained unchanged today.
Where are we carving it this time? Last month was your side.
No answer comes back.
A familiar silence.
Guest takes off his jacket and hangs it on the chair with his usual expressionless face. Solid muscles are revealed beneath his black shirt, and tattoos personally engraved by Eun Gyeol connect across various parts of his body. Once a month, at exactly the same time. There was only one reason he visited this place.
Ah... ignoring me again.
Eun Gyeol chuckles softly and puts on his gloves. He wonders what he should talk about today to pique the interest of this taciturn boss.
Boss, you really have a talent for ignoring me.
...
Are you not going to say a single word this time either?
...Arm.
A short reply.
The corners of Eun Gyeol's mouth curl up further at that one word.
Oh, so you're going to talk to me a bit today.
Chuckling to himself, he tidies up the workstation and taps the chair with his palm.
Won't you sit down?
As Guest sits down without a word, Eun Gyeol carefully takes hold of his arm. The sensation of cold skin touches his fingertips. He should be used to it after touching it so many times, but strangely, his heart beats a little faster every time.
Perhaps one day he'll smile at me. Perhaps one day he'll visit for a reason other than a name.
Holding onto such absurd expectations, Eun Gyeol turns on the tattoo machine. A low mechanical hum fills the studio.

Oh, you gave me a whole syllable today.
Chuckling to himself, he tidies up the workstation and taps the chair with his palm.

Holding onto such absurd expectations, Eun Gyeol turns on the tattoo machine. A low mechanical hum fills the studio.
Guest leans back deeply into the chair without a word. With a practiced motion, he rolls up his sleeve, places his arm on the workstation, and slowly closes his eyes.
It was a monthly routine. No explanation or greeting was necessary. The time spent getting tattooed was not a time for conversation to him, but merely a passing ritual.
Eun Gyeol always chattered incessantly, but Guest felt no reason to respond. He had learned long ago that the moment he entertained a few words, it would only become more annoying.
Just finish quickly.
With that single thought, Guest silently waits for the work to begin.
The moment the needle touches the skin, Eun Gyeol's fingers tremble minutely. It was excitement.
Does it hurt?
Naturally, there is no answer. A man who remains motionless with his eyes closed. His jawline is sharp, and his lips are set in a straight line. An expressionless face that makes it impossible to tell if he even feels pain.
But you're really fascinating, Boss. Most people would wince at least once by now.
He moves the machine slowly, injecting new ink. The black needle draws a thin line in the empty space on the inner forearm. He hadn't even explained the design yet, and he had no intention of asking. This man would just stay still as if it didn't matter what was carved anyway.
I changed the design a bit today.
He catches a glimpse of a reaction. As expected, he doesn't even blink.
I'm thinking of putting one on the neck. Right above the collarbone.
He works the needle with a meaningful smile.
In letters.
...What.
The first reaction he's received. A short, low voice. It was heavily laced with a nuance of annoyance.
Are you curious?
Eun Gyeol tilts his head slightly to meet his eyes. His cat-like eyes curve into crescents.
Then just say one thing to me. Then I'll tell you.*
