Sulli is in the bar with her gay French photographer buddy.

“I think that guy over there…the one wearing a white shirt..yeah..that one..he’s been looking at you since we got in.” said Sulli’s friend, Jacques

Sulli looked around pretending to stretch. Hmm…Does he mean the guy by the door?

 “No..” said Sulli waving her hand. “He’s too good looking. You know men who like me, right? They are old and creepy men…That one…does not like me. Maybe he likes you.” Said Sulli

“Oh..well…it can be a possibility…since he’s been looking this way for a while now.” Said Jacques

“I wonder how they know you’re gay? You don’t look gay to me?” said Sulli “I mean, Men are suppose to look away when they see the boyfriend right? So does that mean they don’t even think you’re my boyfriend?”

“Well…first and foremost, there are gestures and the like that shows whenever 2 people are in a romantic relationship…we will never have that, Mon Ami.” Said Jacques

A waiter brought whiskey to their table.

“Madam, this is a gift from that guy on that table.” Said the waiter.

Sulli looked at the guy in white and he waved at her smilling.

“Oh…that breaks my heart.” Said Jacques

“Umm…what am I suppose to do?” asked Sulli

“Just accept it.” Said Jacques

“No…If I accept it, he’ll come here.” said Sulli

“Well of course, that’s the sign you’re interested.” Said Jacques.

“Hmmm..Can you tell him I’m not interested then?” said Sulli to the waiter. Sulli stood up leaving.

“Hey we’re leaving already?” asked Jacques

“Um…yeah…I am. Youc can stay if you want.” said Sulli

“Here we go again, every time a guy who you might possibly like approaches you, you suddenly put the wall up and become afraid. You always run away like this. When will you face them?” asked Jacques

Sulli did not speak until they were out of the bar.

“It’s not like I keep running away…but you know me. I’m not interested. So why would I waste an hour or 2 of chitchat?” asked Sulli

“When will you be interested? That guy over there is Hot! And when we were in Brazil, there was that handsome guy who almost never left your side too…Can’t you face the reality that you are attractive?” said Jacques

“Hmm…They’re just intrigued because I am Asian. I am focused on my work Jacques. I am just starting my professional career as a news writer. I am a baby writer slash reporter.” Said Sulli

“You’ve been doing this for a year.” Said Jacques “You deserve a love life too.”

“That’s a distraction.” said Sulli

“You think that way because you haven’t had a boyfriend since birth. But once you have one, you’ll forget everything you’re saying now.” Said Jacques

“Do you have a boyfriend now?” asked Sulli

“I never run out of boyfriends.” Said Jacques smiling.
