Seojin grinned and said, "We can totally stop into shops. We're in no rush at this point. We've got a good long while until we need to head back for evening practice, and the point is going out and having fun. I'll try things on that you want me to as long as the reverse holds."
She couldn't help but snicker and lean into Elena's touch as she responded to the part about the LGBTQ district. It was nice to have someone who knew and didn't mind and who was also not straight. She asked teasingly, "Are you the sun in this context then?"
She looked around, trying to pick out the shop that had caught Elena's interest and said, "Which one did you want to go into?"

Elena squeaked happily and dragged Seojin into a shop. She couldn't help but laugh and start poking the other girl playfully, "yes, I'm the sun, now what does that make you?" she teased.
She turned to some clothes and began browsing. She'd seen a yellow sundress that she was dying to try on. Much like her personality, she tended to gravitate towards bolder and brighter colors. She found the dress in question and held it up in front of herself, "unnie, what do you think?"

The idea popped into Seojin's head and she responded before she'd entirely thought it through, "A sunflower."
She didn't explain the logic, wondering if Elena would follow her mental leap, and what the other girl would think.
She followed Elena into the shop happily enough. It was cute how excited Elena was. As the other girl found something that she wanted to try on, Seojin considered what was in the shop. There wasn't much in her style in this particular part of the shop at least, but she figured she'd find something to try on if she kept looking. She focused on Elena when the other girl showed her a dress, and she grinned and said, "It suits you, you should definitely try it on."
She spotted a slightly swishier dress with a similar profile and a pattern of sunflowers on it and lifted it from the rack, holding it out towards Elena as well and said, "And if it's in around the right size, this one too."
She hesitated before asking, "Is there anything you want me to try on?"
The style of the shop seemed to lean towards dresses and skirts, and less Seojin's more tomboyish style, but she'd humor Elena if there was something that wasn't her thing but the other girl wanted to see her wear.

Elena quirked her head, "why a sunflower?" she didn't get the joke if there was one.
She took the dress from Seojin, "is this still part of the sunflower joke?" she asked, still confused.
"I'll look around for something for you, but these clothes don't seem like your style. I think they'd look good on you, but if you'd be uncomfortable in them, then that defeats the purpose," she said, moving some clothes on the rack as she searched.
She now wanted to find something for Seojin. She lit up when she found a black moto jacket she thought would suit her, "what about this?" she asked, holding it up.

Seojin replied, "Because they turn to follow the sun."
She laughed about the sunflower dress and said, "Yeah, but I also just thought it was pretty and would suit you, and you seem to like yellow."
Seojin nodded at Elena's comment that the clothes weren't really her style and said, "Yeah, I don't really go in for dresses much. And I'm used enough to skirts in the context of school uniforms, but honestly, most of the time, I go for more tomboyish styles."
She indicated what she was wearing, then, as Elena pulled out the motto jacket, she grinned and said, "Yes, I do like that though. You found something."

A look of understanding dawned on her face, "I get it now. And I like all bright colors, though some don't suit me as well. I'm not a pastel person, they wash me out."
She went to the employee and asked to use a fitting room. She tried on Seojin's pick first, coming out to show her. She played with the skirt, "it's really swishy" she said, spinning and letting the skirt spin in chorus with her, "I love it!"
"Try on the jacket," she said, taking it from her and holding it open so she could slip it on.

Seojin had picked the dress out because it seemed like something that Elena would appreciate and because it seemed fun, but she knew that she wasn't always the best at picking out clothes. It seemed like this time, she'd been lucky. Her jaw dropped a little bit at Elena in the dress and she spun, and Seojin said voice catching in her throat a little, "You look gorgeous."
She came over obediently to try the jacket on, posing a little bit for Elena, but noticing right away that while she liked the look, it was too tight in the shoulders and too short in the arms. She told Elena, "I love the style, but it's made for someone smaller than me. Is it visible how tight the shoulders are?"

Elena could feel her cheeks redden a little. She liked being called gorgeous by Seojin.
She ran her hand over the shoulder area, "yeah, maybe there's one in a size up," she suggested. "I'm sorry I grabbed the wrong size. You'll have to let me feel you up so I know all your dimensions in the future," she said going back to the rack she found the moto jacket.
Once there, she started flipping through sizes and realized what she'd just said. Her whole face was turning red, so she made sure to keep her back to Seojin. She couldn't believe she'd just essentially told Seojin to let her grope her in the future.

Seojin felt a little shiver go over her at Elena's suggestion, but she whispered as the other girl went by, heading for the rack, "Maybe we'll have to do that later."
She had to pause, a little bit astonished at her own daring with that comment. It took her a second to get her tone under control before she added, "And it might need to be two sizes. But it might just not be cut right for me. I'm too broad in the shoulders for a lot of Korean sizing."
She followed Elena over to where the motto jackets were hanging, noticing the blush that Elena had developed, and she felt weirdly comforted that at least it wasn't just her who was embarrassed.

Elena flushed even brighter at Seojin's comment. "What have I done in such a short time to make you so bold, unnie?" she squeaked.
She found a jacket two sizes up and held it out. "I think you're right, it's cut weird. But try it on while I try on my other dress?" she asked, already heading back to the dressing room. She had a tendency to ask and do almost simultaneously.
She swapped dresses and came out of the fitting room. This dress was a lot more form fitting, "I like the shape of the dress, but I think another color might be better. My first instinct is red, but is that too much?" she asked.

Seojin mumbled, "We're in public, but in an area where people don't care as much, but you're not going to actually do anything here. I'm not entirely sure why I said it."
She tried on the other jacket as Elena went in to try on the other dress. She reported, "Fits better in the shoulder and the arms, but it's now too big everywhere else, and not in the good way."
She considered the dress that Elena was wearing. She said, "You still look good, but you're right, this one isn't as extremely flattering as the other one. Red would be pretty, but I bet that the turquoise one that was behind it would also look really good."
She wasn't sure that she trusted her own eye, and Elena was going to look good no matter what, but she hoped that she was helping at least a little. She said, "I'll go grab both for you and put the jacket back. We'll have to look for things for me somewhere else."
She hurried to get the things and put the jacket back where they'd grabbed it, making it back to the fitting room area shortly and holding the dresses out to Elena.

Elena nudged Seojin, "look at you so bold now, unnie," she teased.
"I'm sorry about the jacket, you can pick the next store," she said as she headed back to the dressing room. She peaked her head out, covering herself with her shirt when Seojin approached with the dresses.
"Thanks, unnie," she said as she grabbed the dresses and closed the door again. She started giggling. "So the red one is a little small," she propped open the door a little.
The dress itself was already form fitting but the red dressed looked closer to painted on. "It even makes my boobs look big, and they're not," she said, laughing and shutting the door. She changed into the turquoise one which was fortunately the right size. "How do I look?" she asked, opening the door.

Seojin looked at Elena in the slightly too small dress, gulping again before saying, "It doesn't look bad, but yeah, definitely a bit tight. It's frustrating that dresses with the same size on the label aren't actually the same size."
She couldn't help but just stare when Elena came out in the turquoise version of the dress though. Maybe it was enhanced by being a color that she liked, but she said shakily, "Wow, you look really good in that one too."
If she was being honest, there was also part of her just enjoying seeing Elena try on different things and show them to her. It felt like a bit of a date again, and she was kind of enjoying that feeling. She said, "There's a shop a few doors down that's where a lot of my wardrobe actually comes from. I'd be curious to see what you'd pick out for me there."

"Right!" Elena said, commiserating about dress sizes.
"I like the way you look at me in this dress," she said, cheeks flushing again before retreating into the dressing room and putting her own clothes back on.
She took the turquoise and sunflower dress and brought it to the counter, paying for those. "Let's go to your store. I want to pick out clothes for you too!"

Seojin blushed as well, but she felt more on an even footing now than she had the other day. She was pleased to see that the two dresses that she'd reacted to the most were the ones that Elena ended up buying. She wasn't used to the idea of her taste in clothes influencing someone's purchase decisions, but Elena had looked really good in both dresses.
As they left the store, heading to the next one, she said, "Maybe I can find something that will be cute for you there too."
The store that she was headed to was up a flight of stairs, above another store that she'd never actually been inside. They advertised more androgynous looks, and the first time she'd gone up there, it had been because she'd seen a purple flannel shirt in the window that she liked, and she'd just gotten a hole in her favorite flannel shirt that she'd gotten in California. It had turned out that their mix of styles and some more vintage looks as well had ended up suiting Seojin's tastes, and she'd just kept coming back. There for whatever reason were just also more things that fit her comfortably without making her feel too muscular or broad in the shoulders.
She glanced at Elena to see the other girl's reaction to the store, with it's more muted colors for the most part, though with the occasional splash of something more vibrant, and the sort of things that Seojin was in general more comfortable wearing. She told Elena, "I'll try on whatever you want me to, though I might spot some things that I want to try on for myself too."
