As Elena retreated to the dressing room, Seojin stared at her hand. It still felt a touch warm, and her cheeks warmed at the thought. She looked around, trying to find something to distract her, and found a short black jean skirt with some colorful rhinestone patterns along the edge of the pockets that looked like it matched well with the shorts that she'd selected and was about the same length. She picked it up and saw that it was in the size that Elena had seemed to be going for.
She cleared her throat as she got up to the dressing room and said, "I found one more skirt for you to try if you want to."
She put it into the dressing room more gently than Elena had passed her the sweater, waiting for Elena to take it from her. She wasn't entirely sure that it was something that Elena would like, but she honestly hadn't quite figured out how to style anyone but herself yet.

Elena looked up and saw the shorts. She made a face, happy Seojin couldn't see her. She took them gingerly from her hands.
She debated putting on the leather pants and the shorts over them, but she knew that would look absolutely terrible. She sighed and talked herself into putting on the shorts as well as her own shirt. She looked at herself in the mirror, eyes zeroing in on her scars. It had been so easy to show them to Hayun, but it seemed so much harder now that she was showing them to Seojin.
She took a deep breath and opened the door. She talked herself into it by telling herself that if she was going to be willing to do this to distract people from Hayun, then she needed to get used to doing it. "How do they look?" she asked with far less enthusiasm than usual.

It was obvious to Seojin that Elena was uncomfortable about this outfit when she came out of the dressing room. Seojin looked her over, and said, "You look really good, but I can tell you're not comfortable, and like you told me, you shouldn't wear the stuff that makes you uncomfortable, even if it makes you look good."
Seojin was perplexed a bit because some of the other things that Elena had tried on and liked had seemed more revealing to her than this, where this was casual and pretty normal as outfits went. And she looked over Elena's legs a second time though and added, "You really do look good in them though."
She asked, "What should I avoid picking out in the future so that I don't make you uncomfortable again?"

Elena looked down at her knees, "I'm just a little self-conscious about my scars," she said rubbing her hands over them.
"I know I'll probably have to wear shorts at some point though. And I do really love dresses, I just usually wear tights or something," she explained.
"I'm weird, right? In Korea it seems pretty normal to show off your legs but I'd much rather show off my stomach or cleavage..." she shook her head at herself.

Seojin had to look down at Elena's knees again, only then noticing the scars. She said, "Oh, I hadn't... I mean, that's fair. And like crop top and jeans is totally a look, so there are obviously ways that people wear things that show off where you're more comfortable. You might want to mention to stylists as early as you can though, wardrobe should have a few options for each of us, and we're kind of on a continuum of sizes, so there's overlap, but it wouldn't be fun if they put you in something you weren't OK wearing."
She hoped she was saying the right things to reassure Elena. She gave her a little smile and said, "Why don't you switch into something you're happier wearing, and I won't bring you things that show your knees next time. I want you to feel comfortable."

Elena smiled, happy Seojin didn't seem to find her scars disgusting. "Who are the stylists? I still don't really know much," she said as she went back into the dressing room.
She changed into the leather pants and came back out, "these are more my speed," she said, feeling herself again.

Seojin grinned and said, "Those look good on you, and you look comfortable, which is important!"
She said, "We don't have company stylists, so it would be each time we have them for a shoot or an MV or something. The company's not big enough to have full time stylists. That does mean that you'll be in charge of your own clothes the vast majority of the time."
She giggled when her stomach growled and said, "We should choose what we want to buy and then go get food, we never did make it as far as the cafe, but I'm kind of wanting a real meal at this point honestly?"

Elena agreed, her stomach was starting to growl too. She changed back to her own clothes and decided to buy the cheetah print and leather pants as well as the crop top.
"What do you want to eat?" she asked. "I haven't been in Korea long enough to be craving food other than Korean food, so I'll leave it up to you, unnie."

Seojin purchased her choices and left the shop with Elena. She said, "We've got lots of options because Itaewon is a very international area. But there's also plenty of Korean food near here if that is what you want."
She thought for a moment and said, "There's a good Thai restaurant, and a good Indian restaurant, and a good pizza place near here. Pizza is really different here than in the US, but I don't know how it compares to Spain. There's also some Greek restaurants just a little further away. Oh and a really good ramen shop!"
She looked at Elena and asked, "Any of that sound good?"

"You had me at ramen!" Elena said, perking up. "Though now I know there's a ton of stuff that I know I'll need to try."
She laced her fingers with Seojin's, "lead the way."
