2020-05-26 - Big News

Kim wanted to tell Park something very important and the Korean offered to cook dinner for her friend in return. And she's almost done! Her eyes narrow as she tries to calculate if the food has been cooking long enough. After some deliberation, she decides it has. The kitchen at the communal house smelling of Korean cuisine. Park is not as good a cook as her mother but hopefully she won't poison Kim or herself.

A quick glance at her phone to check the time. "She'll be here in a moment!" A pause. "Oh my gosh, why didn't I use my phone to time the cooking? Park, sometimes you are a little silly."

Park is dressed casually - trainers, short shorts, 'Black Widow Movie' t-shirt. Her hair in pigtails to stay out of the way of her cooking.

Kim is very excited to both see her friend and share the wonderful news with her. As well as looking forward to trying a homemade Korean food. Arriving on time and parking her car on the street. Walking up to the shared house. Kim is dressed very casually as well. Black jeans, flats, and a 'I like big data and I cannot lie' t-shirt. A big change from her normal casual looking is a modest sized diamond ring that she has on her fourth finger of her left hand.

With a bounce in her step and a huge smile on her face she makes her way to the door. Ringing the doorbell and waiting for Park or a roommate to answer the door.

"Come on in, it's open!" Park yells to the knock on the door. It has to be Kim, right? It's not as if could be a serial killer or anything.

Park bounces to the door to greet Kim with a huge hug the minute she gets inside. "So good to see you!" she squeals before looking her over. "And you're looking hot as usual. Ooh, nice ring. Come on in." Kim will be ushered towards the dining room. "I'll just get the entrees" she explains, gesturing for her guest to sit. "What would you like to drink?"

Luckily for Park it is indeed Kim and a deranged serial killer, which could happen in this town. She does go inside the house.

Giving a excited squeal of her own and returning the hug tightly. "It's so great to see you Mee! Geez it's been awhile hasn't it?" she blushes at the words "Thanks. You are looking very hot yourself. I just adore the pigtails. They look really good on you. I also like the shirt as well. Oh yeah the ring. Grace give to me after I give her one." she says with a broad smile. Following along to the dining area and having a seat. "I've been really looking forward to your cooking. It smells delicious already. Ah I brought some green tea packages so some hot water and you are course welcome to have some if you want."

"Aww, you gave each other rings. That's so sweet" Park sighs - nope, she still hasn't figured it out. "Green tea is perfect! I'll get the water." Off she goes into the kitchen, happy to yell back into the other room to continue conversing. "How is Grace? I haven't seen her for ages. Though we saw each other at the karaoke. Gosh, when was that?"

"Don't get too excited about my cooking" Park giggles. "I'm no chef. I just want us to still be alive after we've eaten it." Out she comes with water and entree, placing both on the dining room table.

Kim raises a slight finger as she speaks "Yeah it was rather sweet. I was nervous when I give her mine." she admits and nods when Park goes off to get some water "Grace is doing really well. She has some wrestling gigs lined up in a few weeks. We've gotten settled in the house. The Valentine's Day karaoke? If it was another one are you sure you didn't bump into Faith? Anyway nice if did run into her that's really great. Hope you two got a chance to catch up. How have things been for you? Has the band played anymore shows? Oh that reminds me, Grace wanted to know if you'd be willing to do a wrestling theme song for her."

Looking at the dish when Park returns to the table. "I'm sure it will be fantastic. If nothing else it will a experience." before she giggles as well "Assuming we survive it. I'm only teasing though, I still think it smells really good." pulling out the packets of green tea to set on the table. She really can't hold in the news anymore "Grace and I are going to be getting married! Isn't it wonderful Mee?"

"No, I meant I saw you at Karaoke" Park giggles - it's because she talks so quickly and hops from subject to subject. "Ooh, wrestling? How awesome is that. When is the show? I would totally come to watch. And, oh my gosh, I would so do a theme for her. Get her to text me what she is after. You know, mood, lyrics or just instrumental, instrumentation...does she want hard rock or dance? That kind of thing."

"Things are good with me. We had a gig in Seattle which went pretty spiffing. Totally lit. And with the town anniversary, hopefully we can do a gig for that. Lyric does solo stuff and also stuff with Itzhak. I do DJing of course. So much to do in life!!"

And then the big news is dropped. A moment's silence from Park before she screams excitedly. "Oh my gosh!! How awesome!!!" Incoming hugs! Park squeezes Kim tight. "That is amazing. I am so happy for you both. When is the big day?"

"Oh. I guess I misunderstood. Sorry, I feel silly now." her cheeks flush at the mistake. "It is really awesome. Oh I guess maybe you didn't know, but aside from waitress she is trying to be a pro wrestler. The show is in the next weeks. Sadly it's in China. When she does have a more local show I'll let you know. Sure, sure. I'll have her text with what she is talking about for a song. I think she wanted something hard rock, but she could have changed her mind."

Then listening to what Park has been up to. "That's great that things are going good. Very awesome, sounds like it went really well. Don't suppose anyone approached the group about a record deal? You should totally try to play for the town's anniversary. It would be marvelous. Sounds like you've been really busy. Which is a good thing."

Of course there are hugs. Kim does hug back with a big smile on her face. "Isn't it though? Just everything is so wonderful. I almost didn't believe she said yes. Thank you, though. We really haven't talked about a date yet. There is going to be so much to plan for. Grace also wants to meet my whole family. Which just...I don't seeing going well. Her meeting my dad didn't...but anyway. It's just a small part of it. We are so very, very happy together."

"She's wrestling in China?" Park is wide-eyed with surprise at that revelation. "But that's so far away. I didn't even know they were into wrestling there. Japan, sure, but China. Gosh, you learn something every day. Can we watch her online or anything? But, yeah, get me the deets and I'll do a song. Does she have a wrestling name?"

A blushing giggle about a record deal. "Who has record deals these days? We can just sell our stuff on the web...once we have a website. And a way of selling stuff on the web. I wonder if we could get Spotify or someone to take us on?" She shrugs at the business shenanigans - she's creative, not business. "Though if someone wants to give us a record deal, I won't complain."

"Why wouldn't your dad like Grace? She's lovely. And doesn't she own a business? Fathers like that kind of thing" Park muses. "But the most important thing is that you're happy. And you're both happy. And you're both happy with each other. At least you don't have to worry about a band or a DJ." A fluttering of her eyelashes as she discretely points to herself. "Are you both going to be all monogamous now?"

Kim nods "Yeah. They have wrestling organization in China. She's only going to be there for a week or two. Grace has spent some time there learning of their wrestling techniques. I didn't know about China's wrestling scene until she told me about it. You know I don't know if it's broadcast online. She was going to send me some matches while she was away. Eh she does have a wrestling name, but she wants to change it. Don't think that a new one has been decided on yet."

"I don't know anything about music business things. I just assumed outside of a online presence that there are still record deals. Oh how would you get on Spotify or another service like that?" Kim considers that, she really doesn't anything about it though. "You know I've been thinking. I was wondering if you and your band want to do so, I could other financing for you guys. Help you get a head start on hitting it big. Probably could work out a deal if you are interested?"

She let's out a large sigh at the question "As a person I'm sure my dad likes her a little. But you know me marrying a woman isn't really something my family wanted to do. My mom is so likely to be worse than he was. Grace's grandparents own the restaurant. He did like she is somewhat business minded." giving a shrug "You are right though. The very most important thing is that we're both happy and so in love." giggling at Park's last statement "True. I bet while fun there is stress involved." before blushing at the next question. "Well...we talked it about a lot. I think we'd still be open to doing things together with others. Every now and then, for the most part though we are going to be monogamous with each other. So really nothing changing too much. Of course we promised to talk about anything beforehand."

"I can't wait to see Chinese wrestling techniques. Color me interested" Park grins. "If she was going to send you them then there must be someone recording them and if they're recording them, then they must be broadcasting them. I'm sure we can find someone who can hack into Chinese streaming channels. Only fair since they hack us all the time.. I look forward to hearing her new wrestling name. She might have one for China and one for other places. You could call yourself the 'White Devil' in China, sure, but not sure it would work in the U.S."

"I'm not huge on the business side either. Lyric's the smart one. I just want us to get our music out there. I don't really care if people pay for it or not. I'll be a dentist so I'll always have other people's mouths to fall back on." Park's eyes narrow. "That may have not sounded right. Financing? What kind of financing? What people forget is that most record deals are loans against future royalties. We probably don't want to owe people too much. You don't earn a lot from Spotify."

"Your parents should be happy that you're at least getting married and not being a floozy the rest of your life. You can always adopt grandkids for them. Oh, do either of you have brothers? You could always go the insemination with sibling sperm so that there's relevant DNA involved. Not sure why we're talking about the details like that." Park shrugs away such talk before picking up an appetiser to nibble. "Hmm...not too bad. We may not die eating this. I said may."

"I did get her a laptop for the trip to make sure we could be in contact. I just thought she'd record off of it. It does make sense that they would broadcast it somehow. If only we knew someone who could hack a live feed to watch. Oh wait I can do that and we could watch them together." Kim looks serious for moment before giggling "Yeah you can't imagine how much of my counter measures are against whose from either China or Russia." giving a little shrug. "I'll be sure to pass along what she decides. I might have to suggest 'White Devil' for the Chinese league though." Kim clearly amused by the name.

She shakes her head "No I got what you meant. Not like I don't occasionally have things that come out my mouth that could be taken the wrong way. Or more than occasionally. But I was thinking something for band funding. Instruments, to pay for art work, travel expenses. Nothing huge, maybe a few ten thousand or so. So probably not a tour bus or anything. I wouldn't expect to be paid back unless you guys hit the big times. Which I'm sure you will. Up to you if you want to the offer to the others." not that Kim really has a problem being generous with her money.

Getting a mock hurt look on her face as she looks at Park "You thought of me as a floozy. Oh Mee-chan that hurts so much." said with a gentle smile to show she's only joking. "Ah well I'm not going into that sort of detail. I'd like to make my family happy...but I don't really want kids. That could change one day." and there is still distraction food. Trying a appetizer herself. "Oh stop. It's pretty good. Better than I've had at least." then realizing she's talked mostly about Grace and the engagement. "Oops sorry. I've a little focused on me. How have other things been? You and that one guy who offered to be your boyfriend when you had his...eh you know. Anyway did you get together or still just having fun? Not to make that sound bad or anything...Hai I hope I'm putting my foot into my mouth too much." there is always a safer topic "How is or was school going?"

"I'll let them know about your offer. For sure" Park nods about the band. "Every little bit counts, right. I mean, it's not as if you'll demand we write songs about how awesome you are or anything. Would you?"

"Ico's the drummer in the band so it's not as if he's going anywhere" Park giggles. "I don't see him as much as I used to but I'm sure we'd still do stuff when I do. I think. I dunno, maybe he's found someone who would agree to being his girlfriend? Though, I guess I still could. Do you know Alisha? Lovely cop and she wanted me to be her girlfriend but, like, totally free to still do what we want. It was like an important label to her so I just said 'yeah, sure'. It makes her happy and I like when she is happy."

"School is awesome. Hey! Maybe you could let me give you a dental check-up soon? And I don't mind you talking about yourself. You have much more interesting things to talk about. I mean, like, a marriage!"

Kim quickly shakes her head and holds her hands open "No, no. Nothing like that. I'm far from awesome after all. Just myself. I wouldn't mind if your wrote a song for my wedding. It would hardly be a condition though. I mean do I come off as full of myself, do I?"

Not having been given a name before, she makes O face "One of the people in your band? Well neat! I mean you two at least have that in common. As well as doing stuff. I mean he could have, but who won't want the amazing Mee-chan? I mean I..." stopping herself, at least she has practice at that. "If you have feelings for him, then why not? Alisha??? Eh I've heard of her and Grace knows her, in a way. Small town I guess. It's so great that you like to keep people happy. I think that's a great quality in a person."

Kim nods "I'm do for one. So if you want to." giving Park a wink "Yeah the marriage. I mean, I'm trying not to talk too much about it. But Eeee I'm so excited. I have all the ideas in my head about the perfect wedding. At least my version and really it's just a show. The real reward is getting to spent the rest of my life with Grace. Not that I wouldn't anyway without us making it all official. Just it's so exciting you know?"

"No, you don't come off full of yourself" Park assures her friend. "Full of love for Grace, sure, but that's not a bad thing. Plenty of people don't want the Amazing Mee-Chan" she giggles. "But that's fine. Not everyone is for everyone. Ico's adorable and sweet and great in bed...or wherever we do it...but I don't think we need labels to have a good time."

"Maybe you need to keep all your money for that perfect wedding? I hear they can cost a lot of money. My parents have been saving up for mine since before I was born and they still complain they don't have enough money. Lucky I'm not asking for a wedding" Park grins. "So, what ideas do you have? Tell me everything."

Kim breathes out a sigh of relief "I'm glad then. Well how could I not be so full of my Tsuma? Right you probably don't know Japanese. It means wife. Maybe still too early but Grace enjoys its. And it feels my heart with glee when I call her that. Even we are...eh just when things get intense." she then frowns "Oh Mee. Just don't think that people don't want you. If I got to know to you before Grace-Tsuma." reaching out to try to touch Park's cheek in comfort. "But hey sure not everyone is meant to be with everyone. I'll take your word for it that he is good in bed. You know my feelings about men."

Kim can't help but laugh "Sure it costs a lot. I have so much to spare. Really my brother Hitoshi handles my money. I'm not super rich, but I already have more than most will spend in a lifetime. Guess it's just being the best of the best in my field. And hey if is a burden on them just say that a Japanese girl is willing to pay for your whole wedding." she giggles again before ending in a smile to the Korean girl. "Well a full space where everyone is in cosplay. With me paying for of course. I'm in my best MIsa and Grace...well I can't imagine her in anything but her wrestler persona. Pinning me with the vows. Eh do you think that would be too much for guests?"

"I don't mind if people don't want me" Park giggles. "Honestly. I'm happy! Sleeping with everyone in the world would be a bit rude of me. I don't want to force myself on anyone or anything." She leans against the cheek touch for a moment before nodding. "Guys are alright sometimes but I understand. No more talking about man bits. Or inferring conversation about them."

"I think a costume wedding would be awesome! I would definitely go to that. Though I guess I'll be doing the music so I'll be there anyway. I will dress up however you two want me to. Even naughty if you like but, on your wedding that may not be appropriate." A laugh at the thought of pinning vows. "I think you just want her to hold you down and have her way with you. I've told you that I do Cosplay, right? Not full time but I can make costumes and stuff."

Kim giggles softly "Then I'm happy for you. I suppose it would be a little rude if everyone wanted you, or at least unfair. You could hardly be everywhere all at once." withdrawing her hand "No it's fine to talk about guy parts. It's just imagining myself interacting with them that really eh not so great for me. Truly I can talk about those things with others. Not saying you like desperately want to or anything...just trying to say it's alright."

Back to wedding thoughts bring a happy smile to her face. "I know it's a little silly of me. Just you know, you hear about zombie weddings, superhero weddings, why not a cosplay one? Dress as you like during the ceremony. Certainly I think everyone can get creative or come as they like. OH! There is no need for you to dress naughty or anything. Not that I've ever really seen much nau....ok just stopping that thought right there." she grins at Park's interpretation "I might. There is still plenty of time for that after the ceremony though. I can control myself around her for at least awhile. Yeah you did mention you do cosplay sometimes. Which you know is cool. Might have to you help design mine. Then there are the flowers, the venue, photographer or video person...both, food. I haven't decided what I want there. Of course I need to get Grace's input as well. So much to think about and luckily plenty of time."

"Yeah, you really should include Grace in these conversations" Park laughs. "Don't leave the planning too long. Or the wedding. You hear stories about those couples who are engaged for, like, decades, and then split up before the wedding actually happens. Though I guess it's better to split up before the wedding. Maybe not after decades. I mean, it'll be a very expensive event so if you don't feel the need to do it, then don't. We could always just have a party instead. Though if you go with the party, you may as well go with the wedding anyway. Gosh, I'm glad it's not something I have to figure out. Probably, like ever."

"If you ever want to see me dress up naughty, just let me know. I can send you pics or something if you want. That way it will be alright and you won't be hurting Grace. Hmm...may be alright. Since you can't touch or anything. Not that you would touch since, like, you love Grace and no one else will interest you like that." It's all so easy in Park's world.

Kim giggles "Oh she is included. I still have ideas and need to run them by her. Just right now they are just various thoughts that I need to refine." she gives a shrug "It isn't the plan to let it go too long. There are still things she needs to talk to Faith about and a few other things to work out. Probably within the year would be my guess. Decades...nope. No way it the engagement will go on that long. I'd be ok with a party, just you know a wedding is something you hopefully go through only once. And you never know Mee-chan. It could, besides I'd love to see what a rock star's wedding would be like."

Kim scratches her head a little at the offer. "I'll admit I'd like to see. Really I've never seen anyone dress naughty. A little eh...forward sure. Never anyone who considered their dress naughty. I'd have to talk to Grace about it. I mean if it was in person I'm sure I could myself under control." giving Park a smile. "I'm pretty sure I've resolved some of my issues around just being unsure. I think I said something about a beast awakened...but anyway yeah I love Grace so much." it could not be so simple for her. Still she is sure she can resist any temptation. Even if there are parts of herself she isn't so sure of.

"It would be even easier to control yourself if it wasn't in person" Park suggests brightly. "But then it would be like sending you dirty pictures and Grace would see them and get the wrong idea. I mean, you can understand why she would since, you know, what is the good idea about your fiance getting naughty pics from a woman they've had sex with." She shrugs, smiling innocently. "Oh well, let me know what happens. I can send pics to Grace too if she wants."

"Within in a year, huh? That should give me time to write a personal song for you two to play at the wedding. Hmm, it'll probably have to be a ballad, right? When you do that first dance thing, they're usually all slow and soppy." Park nods to herself. "Yeah, I can do something like that. Sweet without causing diabetes. And none of that Mariah Carey slash America Idol vocal exercise singing where you invent notes that weren't there and destroy the ones that were. Now, let me get the main course."

"It would. But I don't really think it would be a problem either way." Kim at least seems confident in that "Those why I'd want to talk to her first before I request. I mean aside from you being cute, it could help me come up with ideas of how to do more of it myself. I tried a little bit with Grace and it worked out well. I just haven't done much of it so I'm not too positive on what counts. And I do want to do that for her. I also do get how it could seem though, certainly. I'll let you know and extend the offer to Grace as well." she promises.

"Uh-huh. At least that's the idea now, if that changes I'll let you know of course. A ballad would be nice. Not that a little faster song would be bad...but slow and all sappy seems just wonderful." She agrees with the assignment of the basics of the song. "Great and thank you so much for doing so for us. I know it will be fantastic. Oh inviting notes is a thing? You want any help bringing over the food? You know I'm always happy to lend a hand."

"If you've already excited Grace, then you obviously know what to do. Who else do you want to dress to impress?" shrugs Park with a grin. "And you have the awesome dresses you wear. What more could anyone want? I wish I looked as good in those as you do."

"No need to help, thanks, I have it all sorted out." Park bounces into the kitchen to get the snow chicken. "Inventing notes is definitely a thing. Just think of something like 'I Will Always Love You'. Do you think Dolly Parton put all those notes singing 'you'? Whitney is the one who decided she had to do the scales in that one word. So, instead of the song being a heartfelt paean to a lost love, it became about her technique. Though I'm probably just envious. No way could I sing all those notes even if they were there to be sung." The food is served out - Korean Fried Boneless Chicken (KFBC) with a covering of cheese dust. "We better fatten you up for the wedding" she teases.

Kim blushes a little "Yeah, but I can always do better. Just to keep somethings fresh and new, you know? Don't think there is anything wrong with that. I do have all of the cute dresses. They aren't exactly sexy though. I mean they pretty much cover everything. Thank you though, and oh I think you could look as good as I do in them. I could help you out if you want, with make up and finding ones that look flattering on you." she suggests.

Kim nods and waits at the table. "Really interesting. I hadn't really thought about it that way before. Not that I know much about music, but I think get it better now. Maybe you could sing in those notes or scale. Have you ever done any vocal training before? I wouldn't imagine that it is all natural talent." taking a large inhale of the scent of the food. "This definitely smell just fantastic. Hmm why would I need to gain weight? Not that I couldn't stand to put on a few pounds." not really getting it. Taking some of the food for herself to try.

"Sometimes the sexiest clothes cover more than they reveal" Park pontificates. "Those dresses you wear are pretty sexy. Clothes can symbolise things. Fetish things. And I don't mean fetish as in something bad, just as something that gets you excited. Those dresses definitely do that. My figure?" She has to laugh at that. "You mean straight up and down? I think I will be cursed forever more with guys at the Cabaret asking me to dress in school uniforms. And I'm not even a dancer!"

"No vocal training for me and I don't want to sing like Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey or anyone on America's Got Talent. I just belt it out with enthusiasm and passion. If that means that people cover their ears and scream a lot, then I stop singing" Park giggles. "I do some vocals on our songs. Do harmonies as well so I can't be that bad. You don't need to gain weight, I was just kidding. I was thinking that maybe if I put on weight it would go to my boobs...but I don't think it works like that. Not without it going everywhere else too. And you already have lovely boobs." She pours them both some more juice too before raising her glass in a toast. "To your wedding. May it put your dreams to shame."

"You know sometimes it can be that way. Just leaving a lot to the imagination." Kim adds thoughtfully. "Oh I get that. Different ways of adding excitement simply by style of dress. I've always thought of loitia style more of a innocence thing. Well dark innocence in the ones I have. Is that even really a thing though? Anyway thank you so much for the compliments. I'm happy to know that you find my dresses sexy at least." before she does a eye roll at Park describing her figure "Well sure you aren't like Dolly Parton or anything. You do have a nice one. At least I think so and it's not like I'm blessed with curves either. Do guys really ask you to at work? Wow...I mean I've been asked to before too. Like really? I never wore a uniform when I was in school." she giggles lightly "You would look good in one though."

"I didn't mean it as a bad thing. Just curious if you did. There is a lot to be said for just singing with passion." Kim nods "I couldn't picture people covering their ears. Maybe a little shocked at lyrics, that can be a very good thing. At least they'll stick in their heads and make them think about it. From what I've heard your much better than just not bad, I think you are pretty good and have talent." she ohs a little as she missed the humor. "Eh sorry. I've put on some muscle weight by working out with Grace. I'm still pretty light, so I thought it could be a serious suggestion. From what I've heard yeah it does go everywhere. So bigger Mee and boobies." she chuckles "Thanks and you have very nice boobs as is. What we have is just what we have." lifting her glass up as well, returning the toast "I hope it will. To the happiest day of my life."

"I work in a strip club, Kim, of course people ask me to dress up in a school uniform" Park giggles. "Not that I do that kind of thing. I point them at the strippers who are there to do that. Umm...dress up and then take it all off. And way too many people find innocence sexy. There can be really bad ways that can come out." A little shiver before the smile is back. "You've been asked to dress up in a school uniform too? Gosh, maybe we should do it for next Halloween or something?"

"I get a bit angry in my lyrics" Park admits with a frown. "I think I upset some people at the cultural day. People weren't expecting the truth. Oh well, we learn from experience." A wiggle of her eyebrows to her friend. "Working out with Grace, huh? Is that what the kids call it these days?" she teases. "Maybe I should get bigger? Everyone thinks I am short but it must be an optical illusion because I'm thin. So, if I get fat, and get boobs, maybe people will realise I am tall?" A blush about her having very nice boobs. "Thanks...at least you were able to find them."

A grin as they drink their toast. "Such love is so cool to see."

Kim shrugs "Well yeah I know that. Just you are a DJ, so I wouldn't think that they would ask. I mean in club like that at worst I'd ask for a song. And be surprised if they heard what I wanted to hear. Not that would that stop me from stuffing the dancers with bills. Eh I guess I can't do that anymore, huh?" she giggles. Titling her head towards her friend "Mee-chan, did something happen to you? If anyone hurt you just give me their names and their life will be ruined." she says seriously. Then shaking her head to cast of thoughts. "Yeah I have. Sure next Halloween we can have people drooling over us in school girl outfits."

"Angry is just another form of passion. Don't regret it." she tries to offer some comfort. "But sure we learn from doing." then blushing at the implication "No, no. Really I meant just trying to get into shape. Not that we have problems with...ok I have to stop myself." she blinks "People think you are short? I just...huh. They are just crazy then. I mean most people look tall to me, but you have height for sure. Just be who you want to be and don't worry about what others think of you. If they can't see the tall and pretty Mee, they aren't worth your time. Eh...they weren't hard to find. I...anyway you are welcome."

Kim just blushes at the reply "Can't help but love the peo...person. Person you love. And I do so much. We both do. I'm sure that Grace glows as much when she talks about me. She makes me feel so special."

"I am a female in a strip club. We all should be getting our clothes off...not" Park grins, "Though I think my boss would be happy if I did. If anyone did. Hmm, maybe I could become the first DJ Stripper? Spinning discs while teasing dicks? Not that we use records much anymore but I was trying to make a funny rhyme thingy. And of course you can go to strip clubs. You're supporting working girls. Just no touching...even with the private dances."

More eating as they chat. "I'm never bothered by what people think of me. I know I'm awesome" she giggles. "I only worry if I hurt people by what I do or say. If I keep that cool then I'm all good with myself." She looks a bit concerned. "Why wouldn't you help Grace? 'Can't help the person you love' sounds a bit cruel to that person." She winks. "Only kidding, I know what you meant. Maybe one day my Prince will come. Or Princess. Or both. And of course Grace glows. It's all that working out you do."

"You'll eat dessert too, won't you? I don't think either of us will ever get fat."

Kim laughs "Course. Why didn't I think of that. Ever woman must get naked in a strip club." she jokes "Has your boss tried to talk you into stripping? I would think he'd rather have a talented DJ. Both though...hhmmm as far as I know it would be a faster. And with a tagline that, you'd pull in all the tips. I've seen some DJ's use records, but not very often. I mean I don't go frequently but I guess looking is ok. I didn't really think touching was allowed anyway, so no danger of that."

She nods "You are awesome. I couldn't imagine you hurting anyone, even by accident. Still it's very good that you are well...good with yourself. It really helps with life." before looking a bit abashed "I didn't mean it...right you were only joking. Too many times things don't come out quite the way I mean them too. You know if I stopped to think about it before talking. There is no doubt that one day you'll meet the ones or one." a blush at the last comment "I guess so. I just know I tend to gush when talking about her."

"I am looking forward to dessert. Trying to save a little room for it. I doubt either of us could, the way I usually eat if I was going to get fat it would happened awhile ago. Guess we both probably got blessed in the metabolism department, huh?"

"Mister Antonio asks all of his employees to be strippers" Park giggles. "The girls at least. He doesn't push it on us but he's always looking for maximum income and covering all the fetish bases. He does love his club."

"Blessed with metabolism but less so with boobs" Park winks before more of her snow chicken disappears into her hungry mouth. "And I won't get a big ass either. Unless, one day, my body goes 'I've had enough, here comes the fat'. That happens when you get older, right? Hmm, I wonder if I should take up that working out too? When you're a rock star, you always have to look your best. No one wants to see tubby rock stars."

Park sighs happily across the table at her friend. "I'm soooooo happy for you, Kim. And Grace. You are a perfect couple."

Kim shakes her head "Maybe I should purchase the club then. So everyone can do only what they want to. I mean being the only strip club in town means the place will make money. So supporting working girls could mean owning it." she muses. "As well as everyone getting to do only what they want to. So I should talk to this Antonio about that." she does need to invest in various ventures and this is one her brother would approve of

She is still eating the main course as they talk "Oh yeah sure. You've seen my pair and I'm barely a A-cup. Still we can both be proud of our titty bitty titties. It at least makes us different than our girls. So that's something." she giggles "Well a big butt wouldn't be a bad thing. If that time comes for either of us. Even with that terrifying aging. But with our heritage we wouldn't look it for a long while." before shrugging. "You don't need it. Still if you'd like a work-out retinue I'm glad to share what Grace has taught me. I mean really before I'd just be in front of my little girl or the TV. Now I could run a whole mile. And tubby rock stars...what about Jack Black? He is a hefty white boy and a sorta of rock star." Kim says half jokingly.

Kim play with her hair "Thank you so much. I think we are and maybe you only saying that because we are two-thirds of the Gray Harbor Angels." she winks at her Korean friend "The other one put things into perspective for me. Oh you probably haven't talked much with Hera. She is very wise and experienced in life. In far more ways than I am."
.

"You want to own a strip club? Antonio enjoys his work. I don't think he would sell but, hey, no harm in asking. Maybe you could do like a co-op ownership with all the dancers, so they'd work hard to put on the best show as they would have direct participation in the income. Though I guess they sort of do that already with their tips. I dunno, I'm artistic, not business" Park shrugs.

Park's brow furrows in confusion at the suggestion that Jack Black is a rock star. "Gosh, Kim, how old are you?" she teases. "No. I don't think he's a rock star. I'd probably want a bigger fanbase...because I'm greedy. Just kidding."

A shake of her head about Hera. "I don't think I've talked with her. Not really. But three cheers for the Gray Harbor Angels! You really do need a detective agency. You'll be solving crimes and international spy kerfuffles in no time. Gosh, that would be so cool. Probably dangerous...but so cool." She rises from her chair. "I'll get dessert!"

Kim shrugs "It's a random thought really. I wouldn't mind owning one, not that I have the first clue how. Just figured that since I'm mostly living in town might as well get down some roots. Guess I'll have to talk to Antonio, see if he is out to investing. That or I'll have another thought about what to invest in." she usually needs some time to go over her thoughts more and decide what she wants to do. "It might be a fun thing to at least co-own. Could do more theme nights or something."

"I'm a ancient twenty-seven. My brother was way into him and I heard more of his music than I'd like to growing up. I was only kidding though. I don't think even in his day he was that much of a star. Just you know about gaining weight and that's where my head went. Guess it wasn't all that funny." she gives apologetic smile. "I'm sure you'll have a bigger fanbase. You and the rest of the band certainly have the talent."

Kim nods her head "You should try if you have the chance. She runs Vivid Dreams, it's a art gallery in the strip mall. I think you'd like her." before giggling at idea of a detective agency. "It would be cool. None of us have experience or probably really the time. Funny to consider. A artist, a wrestler, and me trying to solve crimes. Alright, the food has been great so far. I can't wait to try the dessert."

"You're investing in the band, don't forget!" Park giggles from the kitchen. "Is your brother as handsome as you? Well, you're pretty, is he pretty? Is he as handsome as you are pretty? Yep, that's it." She soon returns with sweet goodness, placing one bowl in front of her guest before sitting herself back down.

"You can be the Amateur Detective Agency. People like that never get hurt on the television so I'm sure you would kick ass and get all the bad guys. I can be on the bench for when you need...umm...whatever it is I would actually be able to do." Park leans over to give Kim a quick kiss on the cheek. "Never apologize for trying to be funny. Apologize when you're miserable and bringing the world down. I'll see if I can talk to Hera then. She's your friend, of course she is nice."

Kim nods "Well of course I'll invest in the band. If they all agree to it. Really it isn't so much for me. Just helping you all succeed." Then she does a laugh snort "I wouldn't know if he was. I mean he wants 2-D girls so that is a thing. But I really think he is as gay as I am. I mean he's had a lot of 'roommates'. Still I can't be sure, he just says how 3-D girls aren't worth it." she chuckles "I mean if he wasn't of my ancestry he'd be a weeb." of course she ignoring Park calling her pretty. Rubbing her finger together as dessert is delivered.

"If only things were like on TV, yeah?" she shrugs. "But I think you'd be a better Lucy Liu then I would. So much better looking than me. Of course I'm a better hacker...so it's a toss up." she jokes. Kim blushing at even the quick kiss to her cheek. Having to collect her thoughts. Finally shaking her head "I'd never try to bring anyone or the world down. That just isn't me. I like to believe the best in nearly everything." she admits. "I wouldn't say she's always nice. She does say what is on her mind. Which not everyone does. She even...eh nevermind."

"Gay as you are? So he likes women?" Park giggles. "And 2-D women? So, like, flat-chested? He'd probably love me then. Just kidding, I know what you meant. Plenty of hot drawings in the world." A mouthful of yummy dessert.

"You'd totally be a better Lucy Liu. Or, if I'm Lucy, you can be Cameron Diaz. See, all sorted. And I am not better looking than you. Grace is totally into you, not me." A tilt of her head at Kim hiding something. "Hera even what? You can't keep it secret now. If you want me to be friends with her, then no secrets."

Kim can't help but giggle as well before getting a little more serious "Honestly I don't know. It's not like he's ever brought anyone home for the holidays. Besides he's way old! Though if you want I can introduce you to him, he'll be coming into town soon. He's the only member of my family who respects or at least doesn't care about my life choices." she shrugs. About to correct her friend, before Park admits she is kidding. "Yeah there are a lot of so very hot drawings out there. So many great waifus."

"Well I think that Grace is into me for more than just my body. And thanks...I wouldn't get into who is more pretty." Kim has opinions. She really isn't trying to hide anything, it is embarrassing for her. "Eh well I was going through a crisis. I mean I wasn't acting like who I knew myself to be. Eh...I'm sure you noticed. She reminded me I had gone through a huge change in my life. And that it could have changed me. Still I knew I was trying to cope with things." she is being vague on purpose, unsure that Park would believe the ways she changed.

"Everyone changes" Park shrugs dramatically, a big smile on her face. "We change our underwear every day! Most of us do at least. If you don't change, evolve, adapt, then you'll be left behind on your porch complaining about the good old days that weren't really that good. People are so cray-cray. This Hera sounds like a very wise person. And don't worry that you're better looking than me. It's not a competition. Everyone likes different things. All is good with the world if you just accept differences...as long as they don't hurt anyone."

"Oooh. When is your brother coming? That must be so exciting for you. At least you made all your money on your own, so who cares what anyone else thinks. You're not hurting anyone. Gosh, I bet Grace says you're doing the exact opposite" Park giggles before finishing up her dessert; how does she eat so fast and talk pretty much non-stop?

"Ah well of course we all change. I'm talking like gigantic change the way you look at the world and yourself change. Nearly overnight...so it was overwhelming you know? It made me think about other things that changed about me. After I thought I knew myself so well. Hera is very wise. I think so at least, obvs." Kim admits with a sigh "I have to agree though, we are all so cray-cray. I know it's not a competition. I just happen to think that you are prettier. Not like I'm saying I'm jealous or anything...just a statement of fact from my point of view. People do like different qualities and if more people just accepted differences it would be a better place. Well yeah as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else."

"The next few weeks. After dad visited...I think he thinks I need some cheering up. Plus to check in me and all that. But thanks, I always like seeing him. I mean I do love all of my family...so I care what they think. I just can't live my life for them. You and other's in my life have made me realize that. I know that I not hurting anyone. Grace doesn't...oh you're joking. Some of our games...eh I probably shouldn't talk about them." she blushes and right there is the dessert. And as much as Kim can talk, she has never managed eating and talking as much. She takes a few bites. "Mmm this is good."

Park's eyes go wide at talk of 'games'. "I meant that Grace would say you were being wonderful and definitely not hurting anyone. But...yeah...maybe you shouldn't talk about them. There is someone who likes me to play rough with them. Me, can you imagine?" She laughs at the silliness of it all. "But it's fun to play sometimes." Her bottom lip thrusts out. "I shouldn't say anything either." Now that is all settled. "I'm glad you like the dessert."

A little blush about being prettier than Kim. "I won't argue with your taste then" she laughs. "We shall agree to disagree. Besides, Grace is prettier than both of us. And she has a twin! So unfair to the world." Once the food is done, Park takes the plates out into the kitchen. "Make sure I meet your brother, okay? Did you want to hang around tonight or heading back to Grace? I would totally do the latter."
