[Lei Fang watches Jann-Lee concentrate on a match.]
*It's been a while since I first met Jann-Lee. Now he's a part of my daily life. I wonder what is it about about him...*
[Jann-Lee finishes his opponent off and stands in glory. Lei Fang watches as he steps off the ring and wipe the sweat off his body.]
*I know there's physical attraction. With a body like that, who wouldn't be? I'm surprised to hear hardly any women approach him.*
[Jann-Lee and Lei Fang are eating out for lunch.]
*Everyone is saying that Jann-Lee is self-possessed and egotistical. Why can't I see that? Am I the only one who can't see that side of him? Or is it just that no one else knows the Jann-Lee I know... In a way, I'm happy about that.*
[Jann-Lee and Lei fang are walking around the park.]
*It feels like Jann-Lee belongs only to me this way. I don't mind the idea. The way he looks at me with his eyes... His eyes... I could get trapped in those eyes and just stare at them forever. I've never seen a man with eyes like Jann-Lee's. Actually, I've never met a man like Jann-Lee before. The guys back on campus are dogs, the only thing on their minds is how to get you in bed. But not Jann-Lee... He treats me as an equal. He doesn't care about my body, he cares about me. He doesn't consider me weak as a woman. Unlike most men, Jann-Lee talks about fighting with me as if it were a common thing, which it is for me. He knows I can fight and acknowledges it, I'm glad about that. And the way he makes me feel inside.*
["I'm not talking about the lake... I'm talking about you."]
[Jann-Lee is escorting Lei Fang home.]
*Just for that moment, right when he said that... I heard a gentleness I've never herd before... I don't know what my purpose was when I went up to him and introduced myself. I just did it and now we see each other everyday. We're not together though, I was never really thinking about that... But now... If I can see that gentleness again... Maybe it'll be worth the try...*
[Jann-Lee brought Lei Fang to her apartment door.]
"Thank you Jann-Lee." Lei Fang said softly.
[Jann-Lee looked at her briefly and turned to leave. Lei Fang grabbed for his hand and pulled him back.]
"There's something I want to ask you." *Now or never Lei Fang.*
"What is it?"
"Jann-Lee... we've seen a lot of each other lately... and well.... it's been fun and all... But it's not official."
"What do you mean 'official?'"
"Jann-Lee, will you be with me?... Will you be mines,... as a real boyfriend?"
[Silence filled the air. Jann-Lee turned his back towards her and with the most indifferent and emotionless tone of voice, Jann-Lee speaks.]
"No."
[Jann-Lee walks into the darkness.]

I'm having fewer and fewer things to say. Poor Lei Fang... =(
