Kyoto, 1999.
I worked illegally at a Chinese supermarket and shared a room with Qiao Xiaoqiao.
I secretly liked her, even though she had a boyfriend.
Later, she broke up with him, and I thought my chance had come.
But she was a straight woman with her feet firmly on the ground.
And I was a hopeless lesbian.
