He'd been to several stores already and thus far there was only one small bag hanging from his wrist. Was it really this hard to find clothing? It wasn't that there wasn't clothing all around him, he was surrounded by stores filled with clothing, but nothing was appealing to him. What was in the bag he did have were scarves. It was getting cold and so he'd picked up several scarves, cashmere ones from some little booth in the middle of the mall, and a pair of ear muffs for when it got so cold that the metal piercing his ears caused his ears to go numb. His ears always seemed to get cold first, and got colder than other extremities, thus he blamed it on the bits of metal which pierced his ears.
Flipping his hair from his face, not that it did much, he ran his hand over the shaved side of his hair as stepped into yet another store and already he was looking displeased. Maybe pants? He somehow didn't have much hope for the shirts, sweaters, and other things but maybe pants he could get?
The jeans he wore were tight, very tight, with a few zippers here and there. In one of the pockets was his cell phone and in a back zipped up pocket was his wallet. The shirt, or sweater really, had a high neck to it but it wasn't a turtle neck. The black knit sweater was a little big on him, allowing for movement of the arms and such, but it was the collar that was the biggest part and made it look like something a girl would wear. It wasn't cold enough for a coat today, thus he was without one, as he walked deeper into the clothing store in the hopes of finding some new things to add to his closet back home. He'd gone out earlier in the day telling his mother he was going shopping, he needed some new clothing and maybe another pair of winter boots, but thus far...scarves and a pair of ear muffs.
Dark eyes, lined in black, finally landed on the jeans section in the mens department and he made a bee line right for the area. Maybe, if he failed here, he should switch tactics and look for snow boots and give up on pants for now. (sweater like this: X )

The wind was blowing cold in Destiny City and it made her realize it was time to do more winter shopping. She needed new clothes. New city, new school... hopefully she'll make new friends soon. In order to do that, she had to look her best. So Sun Iseul was off to the mall to hopefully make sense of the American currency and get something really cute. She was dressed in a blue button down coat that went to her thighs with big, white buttons and white piping along the front. A pair of leggings flashed briefly before being tucked into knee high leather boots with heels on them. She had her purse, a very plain black purse tucked against her side and she ducked her head against the wind as she entered the mall. The rush of warm air welcomed her and made her take a deep breath before shivering and patting her arms as she crossed them over her chest. She was so cold from that walk. With a great deal of hesitance and walking around, Iseul entered the first store she saw that sold the brightest sort of clothing that looked about her fashion pace. Making sense of the store was easy. Iseul loved to shop back home, and this was hardly any different. At least, that's what she thought. She found her way into the jeans section of the men's department and just stared. Of course she was oblivious to the fact she was in the men's department. "" she finally came to that conclusion, a hard frown on her face. Everything was so big! So tall.

He too liked to shop, he used to shop a lot back home, but he already knew he was in for a hell of time from what his cousin and sister had told him. Both had mentioned the sizes being very different, he was sort of getting used to the money thing at least. The money thing was hard for him but he could manage to ask people how much and get them to help him, plus he had an app on his phone which helped even more now.
The pants were long enough, as he held them up to himself, but it looked like they were just too big in the legs. That was what he'd been having an issue with this whole time, finding pants that would fir him tight enough in the legs, which the bagging pants? Also there was a lack of style, just normal jeans of various washes/colors but nothing else to them.
Bent over, inspecting the dark jeans, looking over the sizes as he seemed to have gotten a general idea of what size he was base don holding them to himself. Picking out a pair he glanced it over as he stood up straight and that was when something caught his attention, it stood out and was familiar. It wasn't a voice, or a sight, but a language. It wasn't English and that hit him along with that it was Korean, not something he expected to hear outside of Korea Town.
"" He spoke up while looking around for the speaker, he had spoken loud enough to hopefully be heard.

As soon as the Korean hit her ears, Iseul perked up and she blinked a little before looking around. Gold eyes spotted a guy near her with that adorable hair she liked in Korean boy bands and she laughed a little. Excitedly, she moved over to him and put her hands behind her hand. " "
She glanced around at a few things before it dawned on her where she was. "" Her face flushed and she rubbed it, trying to get the blush to die down because God this was really embarrassing. It wasn't her fault! (It was, but she liked to push blame on everyone else.) "" She let out a whine in her throat and she swallowed harder before taking a deeper breath.

Laughing he nodded his head and smiled at the other. Fingers moving up to card through the fall of dyed hair he boasted. <"You are. But the measurements are weird even for me."> They didn't use the same system of measuring and that confused him. he hadn't had to learn to convert it in school, as it wasn't needed for any reason. He was sure he could find a converter on his phone though so he could figure out what jeans would fit; but it wouldn't help how boring they were.
Watching her cheeks turn color he shook his head. <"It's alright. You're new?"> He asked as he hoped she understood that he was asking if she was new to the country, which he himself was.
<"The clothing here is boring so far."> He added as he glanced about the jeans. Maybe he should take to ordering clothing from back home? It could be done but shipping was a hassle, between the time and the cost of it. He did have other family back home, cousins and such, so maybe he could ask them to go shopping for him and send him pictures and decide on things that way? So many options but what ones were good options?

When he didn't seem to awkward with her being here, Iseul managed to calm down and put a hand to her chest a bit before letting out a sigh. " She looked back up at him as he continued to talk and then nodded.
<"I got in a week ago. I need new clothes. The winters here seem to be very different than home, right?"> Her eyes flicked back to the jeans and just kind of toyed with them. Maybe she'd get a pair of men's jeans because they looked really comfortable... They were big and baggy and well, she could wear them around the apartment when no one was over.
He was right, the clothes weren't boring at all. "" She turned back to him and gave a polite bow, hands on her stomach before laughing and smiling a bit. Straightening up, Iseul gave a wider grin and looked at his hair again. He's cute. Maybe she could find a friend in him?

<"Why would I throw you out?"> He questioned while staring down at her. So she was new as well, she'd been here less time than he had! That was perhaps a bit of a surprise, though she was certainly new if figuring out clothing was an issue for her.
<"It does, though we're not into winter yet. It seems warm clothing will be needed."> Though he was also looking for more pants to add to his closet. He would honestly buy anything which caught his eye really, but not much had so far. He was sure he could at least get a pair of boots for the snow and rain though.
Bowing in return he smiled, glad to be so comfortable with someone. None of this hand shaking, which in some cases was very enthusiastic, or the high pitched voices of people. <"Kim Seung, it's nice to meet you."> Straightening himself he glanced about. <"Perhaps we should work together and figure out the clothing sizes together? It seems we're in the same boat and both could use some help."> It would also make it more comfortable as it was someone else who was having the same problem, so he didn't feel alone in it, but also they spoke the same language and while they'd need help from the looks of things they could at least talk to each other, while getting help from a worker.

She laughed a little, a hand coming to hide her smile before shaking her head a bit. " " Iseul couldn't help but laugh and just shake her head in an apology. Once more the girl bowed and then took a step back before letting out a low sigh.
"" Would that work? The teen tilted her head as she pulled her phone out and glanced at the jeans to her left. ""

<<"Oh, I'm sure you have some style - more than these people."> He stated as he glanced about them as if to give the idea of who these people were. <"Perhaps I also would prefer some company who I can better talk to."> Which was very true, talking to someone from home would be better, nicer, and easier on him. It wasn't that he didn't want to learn English, he did. he needed to know it and he liked the language. He just didn't want everything he did outside of his home to be a test for his English skills.
<"I'm sure there is an app for it. I didn't think to download one, I'd forgotten they use a different system here."> Seriously, who used the same system as Americans? No one that he knew of.
Watching her do he math on her phone he shook his head. <"A little smaller...what would be 28 inches?" He asked her, unsure what that would be in their size.

Iseul looked at the clothing and then at her own before laughing and shaking her head. She hardly had typical American fashion. <"Oh, no no! I mean.."> She just ended up laughing awkwardly and then cleared her throat before the subject changed back to sizes. Twenty-eight inches? She tilted her head a little and tried to do the math. "...71, roughly." That was said in thick accented English. She should be practicing it. <"Yes, 71 and then some. So...>" She hoped that helped him. With a little noise, the white haired girl looked to the pants and then to his waist. Really? He was that slender? Well, it was easy to believe, her own waist was slender for America. She was basically a walking rectangle with very little curves.

Holding up a hand to her he smiled. It would be odd for them to shop together, some people might get an odd impression of them, or odd as far as he was concerned. But it was better than doing this alone really. The company would be nice and they could help each other, hopefully, since they both at least knew what was fashionable back home and would likely be trying to follow such trends here. Judging by her clothing she certainly wouldn't fit in with a bunch of American's and he knew he didn't.
<"That would be right, 71."> So now he knew his size but now to find it. He was slender, he knew it, but it wasn't so odd back home to be so slender. All you had to do was look at the adds all over the place and those who tried to follow after their favorite idols really. He wasn't too thin though, he wasn't skin and bones or some stick, he just was slender as far as he was concerned. He'd never thought of himself as too small, he was an average size or so he'd always considered himself to be so.
<"Now to see if they have anything in that size. And the same for you and what you need."> He said wondering if they'd have her size as well, she was tiny and from what he'd seen walking about the mall she was smaller than a lot of people here. This trip could get interesting.

She gave him a gentle expression and just shrugged her shoulders. She really needed girl clothes, which meant another part in this store. Orange eyes did a quick scan before she looked back to the other and just let out a sigh. "Time to ...work on my English." It was slow, heavily accented, but she said it properly in English, or she thought she did. Iseul brought a hand up to her face and scratched at her nose before looking around again and just bounced on the balls of her feet, flats making creaking noises as she did like they were new, too, and not used to being stretched this way. " " She gave a sheepish look and then wandered a small ways away before turning to look at him, hands clasped behind her back. "

"Time to work on mine also." His own English was accented, heavily, and slow as he seemed to be testing each word mentally before speaking. He really was trying to recall past lessons from high school as well as make sure they sounded right...or at least he thought they sounded right.
Watching the other head off, to find help, he listened to what she said and nodded his head. <"Yes, that sounds good. I'll give you my number and we can have lunch and talk. All I have is my own family so far."> He also had someone else he knew but they'd only met twice. He was hoping for a number exchange now as it might be easier, to find each other in the food court, as he assumed it would be packed with people, and to know when the other was there in case one of them finished shopping sooner.
<"I'm sure you'll find some nice clothing."> At least he hoped she would as he approached, holding out his phone so they could exchange numbers quickly before she could go on shopping, and he could also.Saint Sergio ((Sounds good. You can wrap this up and we can work on a follow up then.))

With a grin, she took hold of his phone, snapped a picture of herself, and then typed in her information to him. Iseul bounced on the balls of her feet as she did it before handing him the phone back. She pulled hers out and handed it to him. "Food court... Half hour?" Was that the right word? She looked like she was pondering that over and then shook her head. No, that didn't sound right. <"Ah, hour and a half, I mean. Maybe two, depending."> He cheeks flushed because she'd used the wrong words but, she was learning. They both were. He was really cute, too. His hair reminded her of some of the idols she saw on TV in game shows or music videos. <"But after lunch I have to head home. I need to be there when they do something... I don't know what they have to do to my apartment. Something in the attic...">

Taking hold of her phone he did the same, snapping a picture of himself and putting in his number and name. Handing her phone back, his own already in his back pocket, he thanked her before listening to when and where to meet.
As she corrected herself, using a far more familiar language, he laughed once. <"That's fine. I think I have been making the same mistake, and many more. Two hours sounds good, to be on the same side."> Though he might be there early, depending on how long it took him to find some suitable new clothing. He really had little hope in finding more than coats, sweaters, and shoes as well as accessories. Shirts and pants he really had no hope in finding.
Nodding his head to her explanation, he understood. They'd had to get things hooked up in their apartment so he understood what was done when just moving into a place. They had to still paint a bit as well. <"I understand, still moving in as well."> He answered her before bowing once. <"I will see you for lunch than."> And he turned to go, he really had things to find and now only two hours to do so, not that he minded. he did hope the food here would be good.Saint Sergio Can call this done and do a follow up if we want. handwave lunch if you want and do something new even. up to you if you wanna do anything else between them, have them become friends and such.
