Love Beneath the Needle

Who would have thought that a pampered young lady like Bamee would fall head over heels for a fierce-looking female tattoo artist like Mok?

One is willful and used to getting whatever she wants, while the other has a sharp tongue and an annoyed expression ready every time they meet. Yet, the more she is ignored, the closer Bamee wants to get; the more she is chased away, the more persistent she becomes.

The tattoo parlor, once just an ordinary place, turns into somewhere this young lady wants to drop by every single day even without getting any ink done. Just getting to see her favorite tattoo artist's face is enough!

The problem is, Mok isn't someone easy to approach, and standing in the way of this romance are walls of social standing and family expectations.

Will Young Lady Bamee succeed in wooing the tattoo artist, or will she end up not only getting poked by a needle, but also heartbroken by someone with such a sharp mouth? Watch out, dear tattoo artist... If she can't ink her design onto your skin, can she tattoo herself into your heart instead?

"What is it?" Mok replied in a flat, steady tone, her sharp face devoid of any smile or emotion. Normally, no one would ever dare to pester or hound her with such an attitude, save for the bold young girl standing right in front of her who had marched right up to demand answers.

"I just want to ask why," Bamee confronted her directly, determined to clear away the frustration gnawing at her chest.

"Why won't you tattoo me?"

"And why should I give you a reason?" Mok tilted her head slightly, her cold, unyielding eyes locking onto the girl in a silent test of wills.

"You have to! So I can actually understand," Bamee argued passionately, the pent-up frustration she had held onto from the start finally spilling over. "If you don't tell me, I'll never understand why I can't get one. I just want a tiny tattoo what harm could it possibly do? My friends are eighteen and they can get tattooed, but I'm twenty! Why can't I do it?"

Bamee questioned her with utter bewilderment, her voice laced with a tinge of grievance. She had run through every possible reason in her head, yet she still couldn't see how getting a simple little tattoo could possibly cause any trouble.

Mok fell silent for a brief moment before setting her digital pen down on the desk and looking straight into the girl's eyes.

"You already know the reason, don't you?" Mok's voice was deep and even, devoid of any reproach, yet it made Bamee freeze.

"Or... do you really not know?"

Bamee stopped dead in her tracks. That question made her suspect that perhaps Mok's refusal had nothing to do with her age at all.

"Hey! If I knew, why would I be wasting my time coming over here to ask you?!" Bamee's voice began to flare up with a hint of irritation. Her smooth cheeks flushed a bright red with annoyance as she felt the woman before her was deliberately pushing her buttons.

"Go sit back down. I have work to do," Mok dismissed her coldly, giving her no room for argument.

"Hey! What is wrong with you, seriously? I'm asking you nicely, so why won't you just tell me?!"
