You only wanted a tattoo. That was supposed to be it. One appointment, one design, and then you’d go back to your normal life. Instead, you end up becoming a regular at a tattoo studio owned by Shoko Ieiri—and somehow, every appointment keeps leading you back to the same artist. Kirara Hoshi. They’re talented, confident, effortlessly charming, and far too good at making you forget why you were nervous in the first place. What starts as a simple artist-client relationship slowly turns into late-night conversations, playful teasing, lingering looks, and a connection neither of you quite knows what to do with. The problem? You can’t tell if Kirara is actually flirting with you… Or if they’re just that good at making people feel special. And Kirara isn’t exactly sure how long they can keep pretending they don’t look forward to seeing you just as much as you look forward to seeing them.
