Elena couldn't help but smile at the way Hayun's face lit up when she spoke about Shieon-unnie. She assumed the other girl had a crush but remembered Seojin's advice and decided to keep her mouth shut.
"So is it going to be weird if I get a tan? I'm not super dark right now, but I like the sun and I do get tanned pretty easily." She was worried because she knew how important image was to an idol. She knew, but didn't quite understand, but she wanted to make sure she didn't hurt JBN in any way.

Hayun shook her head and said, "You should be fine. Taehoon-oppa is considered to have pretty dark skin, and he's pretty outspoken about not lightening it or using makeup that's too light, so the company has already taken a stance on this, and they sided with him. I mean, it might be a little bit different for girls, but I suspect that Taehoon-oppa would go get in a very polite argument with the CEO again if they gave you a hard time."
She didn't know the details of the last time he'd gotten in a very polite argument with the CEO since she'd just heard it mentioned, but it had apparently worked. She did know that Taehoon-oppa was prone to talking about standing up for things on principle though.
Hayun shrugged and said, hoping that the connection made sense to Elena, "Honestly, it's good when there are people who are well known who aren't all the same look, even though I know that there are people who would disagree with me on that. I spent a long time being super self-conscious when I suddenly got really tall, and I'm still a little self-conscious about it, but seeing more people as idols who have variety in what they look like is good."

"I apparently need to meet this Taehoon-oppa, he sounds like an ally. I should befriend him quickly," she started wrapping the food back up, "should this go in the fridge for now?"
"I think I'm definitely going to be a bit of the odd one out in JBN, aside from my personality I mean, if I tan or gain weight. My weight goes straight to my thighs and hips," she frowned and placed her hands on her breasts, "not here though, these two stay the same."

Hayun started gathering up things to put them in the fridge and said, "Yeah, in the fridge is good, the others can heat things up later, or we can, if we need food."
She said, "You'll like Taehoon-oppa. He's cool, he speaks a bunch of languages and is an amazing dancer, and is just really chill about everything. He's a good teacher too."
She shrugged after she figured out what Elena was trying to say, perplexed for a few moments about why Elena was touching her own chest like that. She said, "You'll be fine. Dreams Ent has a decent number of kind of unconventional looks and idols. I think that we'd be more surprising after Yuseong if we were really cookie cutter girl group. As long as we can perform well, I'm pretty sure it will be fine. Have you watched much you Yuseong's stuff, MVs or variety shows or interviews or anything?"

Elena started carrying things to the fridge, "I know absolutely nothing about Yuseong. Despite you and Seojin telling me member names, I'm still clueless."
She laughed at herself, "I think I'll just stay quietly in the back whenever we're expected to say hello or address people by name. I think there's a Tai, right? But he's a trainee? And then there's my brother, he's a member of Yuseong, right? And this Taehoon-oppa is a member I think."
She shook her head, confusing herself again. "It took months of watching JBN practice videos to learn any of your names and I'm still a little iffy sometimes. Sorry," she hung her head.

Hayun shook her head and laughed, saying, "No, close. Tai and Felix are both trainees. Taehoon-oppa is a Yuseong member. The Yuseong members are all older than us. Kangwan-oppa is the youngest member, and he was born in 1999, the oldest member's born in 1993. The oldest JBN member is Shieon-unnie who's born in 2001, and the oldest boy trainee is Felix, who's born in 2002. The boys are going to debut after us because Tai is super young, he's born in 2008. Anya, our youngest member, was born in 2006."
She added, "You'll want to get to know who the Yuseong-sunbae are because we're expected to know their songs and dances at least some. Though you've heard some if you've seen all our covers."
She was a little excited as she said, "If you want someone to watch a bunch of Yuseong's stuff with to get an overview, I can help you find stuff to watch. You should get Kangwan-oppa and Josh-sunbae as well as Taehoon-oppa down pretty fast because you'll see them around more."
She was less overwhelmed by running into the Yuseong members than she had been when she first joined the company, but it had been weird at first, considering how much she'd looked up to them before even considering auditioning, especially Kangwan-oppa.

Elena shook her head, "no more names unnie" she dropped down to her knees and put her hands up in surrender, "please spare me!"
She knew she was being overdramatic, but names and dates together were useless to her, she literally felt everything Hayun was telling her hit a brick wall in front of her. She stood back up, "singing and dancing is fine. I'm doing something with my body so it stays in my head. I'm not worried about learning their songs and dances, I'm definitely more worried about learning their names and faces. Though I am starting to recognize names, as in they sound familiar, not that I can place them yet."
She twitched her nose. Her name to face issues had been a minor inconvenience in the past but it seemed like she'd have a lot to work on here. "I think watching Yuseong things might help, but don't tell me anyone's name until I ask for it. That way I can learn on my own terms."

Hayun said, "I'm sorry. I'll try to stop dropping names everywhere. You'll get the hang of it once you start to know everyone. The company is so small that you will see everyone at least some. The important part of that is that Yuseong is all older than the girls, and the boys average younger, so they're debuting after us. Also a lot of companies like alternating debuting girl and boy groups because they don't compete with each other, though Yuseong has been debuted for years now, so that matters less."
She hoped that reiterating the concept of what she'd been saying when she dropped names and numbers would help Elena with what she was trying to say. Hayun had pretty much always had a good memory for people and trivia, so she was having to calibrate what Elena meant with having trouble remembering this stuff.
She grinned and said, "I'd be happy to watch them with you. I've watched pretty much all of their stuff before I even auditioned."

Elena was relieved, all the information made much more sense now that there were no names or dates involved. "That makes sense. Thank you, I know I have a unique issue with that."
"You really like Yuseong, don't you? Almost as much as you like Shieon-unnie, right?" Elena asked. She bit her tongue too late, she had no idea why she asked that. Her mouth had just run away with her, maybe she needed a muzzle.

Hayun nodded and said, "Yuseong's music and following their stuff helped me out a lot in a pretty bad part of my life. I admire them a lot, and I really like them and their music. I think that a lot of fans would probably consider me a 'successful fan' because I'm debuting under the same company as them."
She shook her head and laughed a little bit at the idea, before saying, "I was really shy about working with the Yuseong members at first though because I was kind of a fan first, and I'd been to a few fansigns, and Taehoon-oppa recognizes fans, so he remembered me, which was a little disconcerting. It made me very very glad that I was a well behaved fan."
She made a face and said, "And I mean, I also don't understand why people are not well behaved towards their idols when they're fans, but still. I'm glad I didn't do anything that would have given them a bad impression of me. Now I've been around Kangwan-oppa and Taehoon-oppa and Josh-sunbae enough that I'm not so nervous about it because they're all really nice."
She laughed and told Elena, "That's different though, Shieon-unnie is my favorite unnie, not my sunbae."
She had no idea if that sentence would make sense to Elena, but she also was a little bit lost as to what Elena meant by her own question.

Elena nodded her head but her brain had tuned out again. Too many names, she was still trying to remind herself that Yuseong was the name of the band, not a person.
"Why is she your favorite unnie?" she asked. Since the door was open, she figured she'd just go in.

Hayun grinned, not minding the chance to talk about Shieon-unnie. Shieon-unnie was a good topic. She said, "She's cute and sweet, and we have similar taste in clothes, even though she's tiny enough that they all come in her size. She's definitely the cuddly and adorable unnie. I just get along with Shieon-unnie really well and she comes to me for help on things when I can help her."
She knew that she had a big smile on her face, but she didn't mind, Shieon-unnie was the best. She added, "All of the other members are great in their own ways, but I'm closest to Shieon-unnie and Seojin-unnie, but Seojin-unnie has to be everyone's unnie and like lead and stuff. Even though Shieon-unnie is older, because she's not the leader, it's a little different."

Elena felt her face getting red for Hayun. She wasn't sure she'd ever seen a crush this bad. Or maybe it was just the way Hayun expressed it.
"So you have a-" she managed to shut it down in time. She cleared her throat and said, "so you have a good relationship with Shieon-ie which is why you like her. Like her as in friendship not like like."
Elena put her face in her hands, she'd avoided a sinkhole and stepped on a landmine.

Hayun watched and listened to Elena and got progressively more perplexed. Elena was clearly embarrassed, but Hayun wasn't following what the other girl was trying to say well enough to understand why Elena was embarrassed. She said confused, "Of course Shieon-unnie is my friend, but I don't understand what you mean?"
Maybe Elena was translating in her head and it had come out wrong? Or maybe it was a cultural concept that wasn't translating right. Hayun hoped that Elena could figure out what she was trying to say so that Hayun would be able to understand it.

Elena looked up through her hands, realizing that Hayun hadn't understood what she'd meant. "I guess I don't know how to say it in Korean, sorry," she lied.
Internally she was relieved. She really had to get her mouth under control. "Don't worry about it," she said, trying to dismiss the idea and open up the chance for new topics.
