[It's a statement that somehow both surprises Eun, despite having half-expected it, and she wonders if his concern is wanting to put his best foot forward, or worrying that he may not. She pushes up to a seated position, enough to swing her legs over the edge so she can stand near him. Standing at his side, she wraps her arms around his waist, letting her gaze linger on his clothes contemplatively.]
If it helps any, you're already at an advantage because I have never brought anyone home to meet them. You are the first [and she thinks, very likely will be the only] and for that alone they will want to find good in you to approve of.
[She turns to kiss his cheek, all warmth and reassurance.]
But for something more constructive, I am not dressing up to see my own parents when we first arrive, so it would look a little odd if you showed up overdressed and outshining me. If you wore those pants [the dark jeans] with that shirt [a long-sleeved henley] with maybe a leather jacket, that would be perfect. It's styled enough to look nice and show you've put some effort in, but not so much that they're going to feel like this is a more formal first-meeting.
[Eun may not be inclined to dress in a way her parents approve of most of the time, but that doesn't mean she hasn't had a childhood of being forced into nicer clothes for family events, holidays, and the like.]
There's a ninety-percent chance that they're going to ask us to go out to dinner with them on a different night, so you can dress to impress more then.
