♦♦♦ "You like her don't you?"

An amused smiirk appeared on Jessica's face as she stared at Taeyeon who was currently fumbling with her phone. "I don't." Luhan replied, also staring at the same figure. "I don't believe you," she shook her head and forced a laugh. The girl dug around her pocket for a minute before taking out a cigarette and a lighter. Luhan raised his eyebrows at her as she lit it up and took a long drag. "Why do you like her?"   Luhan heaved a sigh and snatched the cigarette away from Jessica's mouth. Rolling her eyes, Jessica took out another cigarette which, again, Luhan snatched. "You really need to stop smoking, it's not good for you." He walked away momentarily to throw all of her 'gunk' in the trash bin. "Ah, I get it. You like her because she's a good girl, right?" Jessica brushed her hair with her hand. "I'm such a loser. Going for someone who doesn't even harbor the littlest of something towards me when I have a whole lot of other options."   "No wonder you won't like me, I'm just a woman who pretends to be a snake for a living, right?" Jessica sneaked towards him and looked sincerely into his eyes. "Say, if I became a person like her, would you like me then?"   The man gently pushed her away from him, "Jessica, stop.

Luhan backed away and returned to his booth. "Thanks, sweetie. That meant a lot." Jessica whispered as she finally took off all her prosthetics.  ♦♦♦ "My life is really sad isn't it?" Luhan rolled his eyes at her first comprehensible question. "A girl who lives in a house that is ten times bigger than my own, a girl who can buy whatever she wants whenever, you really have it hard don't you?" Luhan's words dripped with sarcasm as he took a small sip of his drink. Jessica looked at him with a funny expression, "You think it's easy, don't you? I'd rather be in your shoes! Selling your body, flashing lights always pointed towards you, the fear of having anybody recognize you, the shame. You have it easier Han, 'cause at least you don't need to worry about anything but yourself."    "But you have Soojung."   "That's the only good thing." Jessica consumed her whole drink as she continued to ramble on. It was quite a slow night, only a few people were in the pub that they were at. Tove Lo's 'Talking Body' blasted from the speakers as she finished four more of her drink. "That's enough alcohol." Luhan grabbed her hand and restrained it from taking another shot. "Stoopp itt." Jessica slurred as she swatted his hand from hers.    Jessica frowned for a bit and stood up a little too hurriedly which made her topple over onto Luhan's arms. "You're soooo warmmmm." Luhan blushed at the sudden skinship with the girl. Finally able to push her away, he stood up and
