Sihyun wraps up his conversation with a bald white man whose name he cannot remember, but he knows he does something or the other for the museum. Regardless, he puts on his best smile as he wishes the other man a good night before breaking off to grab a drink, just water this time as he wants to stay relatively sober a little while longer in support of Celeste. He scans the room and he thinks he spots Penny at the same time that she spots him. A huge grin breaks out on his face as he walks closer to his friend. “It’s because these are all the rich island people who only have vacation homes here. We don’t see them much year-round,” he jokes, though he’s sure there’s some truth to what he’s saying. Sihyun places a kiss to Penny’s cheek in greeting, chuckling a bit at her compliment. “Oh, you flatter me. But I don’t think I hold a candle in comparison to you. You look absolutely stunning, love. I’m so happy to see you here.”
penny sighs dramatically, leaning up against the bar and placing the back of her hand on her forehead in faux distress. “ if only one of this rich old guys would whisk me away and make me their sugar baby, woe is me. ” her tone matches her dramatics, but sihyun knows her well enough to know that money is pretty much the last thing that attracts her to a person. “ oh, stop, you. ” penny muses, but her smile is big as she accepts his compliment. “ you’re basically a god so that means a lot coming from you, sihyun. ” she adds, looking around the room. “ you know me, anything for the arts. plus i have the hugest brain crush on celeste so anything to impress her. ” the night was still young, but penny was already reaching for another glass of champagne. “i feel quite out of my element though ---- but you must go to these types of things all the time ? ”
