Some time back in 2002
I walk in the bar to see what was going on. It's pretty packed. You would think that it would be empty on a weekday but it stays busy throughout the week.
One of the reasons for such a good turn out is the bar's best kept secret that's really not a secret among the patrons. But we'll get to that in a moment.
I get there, take a seat at the bar and order a beer. While at the table I scout the place like a vulture looking for its prey. My eyes land on a beautiful man. He looks like a white collar worker; A Short Asian guy; couldn't be more than 5'6" about 130 to 140 pounds, very petite. He has very smooth, fair skin. He almost looks pretty, as smooth as his skin is. He does have some stubble over his lip as if he is in the process of growing a mustache which makes him even more irresistible.
He possesses both gentleness and masculinity that drives me crazy just looking at him. He has a white collar shirt on with some tight slacks that fit very well. He is dressed very nice but rather out of place for a leather bar where most of the guys are in jeans, tee shirts and, well, leather!
Somehow I make eye contact with this guy. For a quick second he glances my way. I smile at him and he smiles back and goes back to talking to his friends. He seems to be preoccupied, so I move on with my quest.
I kept making my way through the crowd searching, but no luck. Finally I walk back to where I originally was. I spot the Asian guy again. This time he's by himself. I get up and introduce myself.
"Hi I'm Mark."
"I'm Kim."
I reply,"Nice to meet you."
Kim doesn't say anything else but smiles and shakes my hand. It's obvious that he doesn't speak much English.
I motion him to a room that's closed off with yellow caution tape. There's a man at the door that is like the bouncer at the front and the only way to get in is if you know the keyword. I say the key word and there is a garage that has been turned into a play space. Kim's eyes opened wide with amazement and concern.
