Different Is Better - A BIGBANG Fanfic

Chapter 2

Yasmine and Kari just got off the plane in Daegu, and were on their way to take a taxi to the train station, but, when they got outside of the airport, Yasmine noticed a familiar looking face.
"야스민! 나야! 여기, 여기!(Yasmine, It's me! Over Here! Over Here!)" said the familiar looking person.
"재민 오빠! 여기서 뭐하는거야? (Oppa! what are you doing here?) " Yasmine said in Korean back to her oppa, JaeMin. JaeMin and Yasmine had been online buddies for a few years now. They had skyped many times and Yasmine and JaeMin were happy to finally see each other in person. JaeMin had offered to house Yasmine and Kari while they were in Korea.
"오빠는 우리가 영어로 얘기하자 그래서 내 친구가 우리를 이해할수 있도록 (Oppa, Let us talk in English so my friend can understand us)" Yasmine said to JaeMin
"Okay. Well, Kari, Sorry for my english, it is not all that great." JaeMin said to Kari
"No No, Its fine. Dont worry about it. Its fine. I can understand you perfectly." Kari said which are the first things she spoke to JaeMin.
"Okay, Thank You Kari. Well, Guys, Lets not stand here. Lets go to my house!" JaeMin said to Yasmine and Kari. JaeMin held the car door open for the two girls. Kari sat in the backseat as she thought it was more appropriate for Yasmine to sit in front with her Oppa. So, when Yasmine tried to sit in the back with Kari, Kari made her sit in the front.
"So, JaeMin Oppa, We need to convert our money to Won. Can you take us somewhere to do that?" Yasmine said to JaeMin as he was driving
"Yes, Okay. That sounds fine. I know where to go" JaeMin said back to her, making a quick U-Turn. About 15 minutes later and 3 more awkward conversations involving JaeMin and Kari, The three finally arrived at the money converting station. While Yasmine exchanged her 3400 dollars into 4036480.00 Korean won, and Kari exchanged her 1200 dollars into 1424640.00 Korean Won, JaeMin informed them that That combined would not really be enough to live off of for their stay. He informed them that they would need to find some other way to get money.
"Really? Well, Do you know anywhere we can get jobs?" Yasmine asked JaeMin
"Hmm, I do know of one place. But, I wont be able to get any more info on it until a few days, as my contact is away on vacation. That will be good for these few days. Lets go home! My sister made food for you guys!"
"Wow, thats so nice! She didn't have to do that!" Yasmine said to JaeMin as they headed back to his car.
"She wanted to. She said she never wants anyone to come and stay in our house Hungry." Yasmine, Kari, and JaeMin finally arrived at JaeMin's house 10 minutes later. When Yasmine and Kari walked into JaeMin's house, they immediately took off their shoes. They learned from watching Kdramas. Once their shoes were off, they entered the house to the smell of Kimchi, Rice, and Beef.
"Woah, you guys didn't have to do this, really!" Kari said to JaeMin.
"이럴 필요 없습니다" Yasmine translated the sentence for JaeMin's family. It seems like now, Yasmine is the translator for this entire family. All throughout the night, it was endless translating and laughs. Mostly laughs at Kari's failed attempts to speak Korean. When it was finally nighttime in Korea, Yasmine and Kari tried to sleep, even though it was day time in america. Surprisingly, Yasmine and Kari were able to get sleep because they stayed up all "night".
In the morning, When they woke up, JaeMin and his sister, SuMin took out the girls to the city. Its not really a city, but, it's the busiest part of Daegu. Seeing all the big buildings and all the people in the streets really had Yasmine and Kari taken aback. Even though they had seen the buildings of korea from pictures and Kdramas, but they never really expected them to actually be this huge! JaeMin and SuMin were having so much fun taking the girls out. They shortly reached a coffee shop called Zoo Coffee. Zoo Coffee was a coffee shop Yasmine and Kari had seen in the drama "Nice Guy" Where The main lead's sister had a Job. Yasmine had really wanted to be in the same place where Lee Kwang Soo had been. So, she was very happy. Yasmine ordered Iced Americano Coffee for 3 of them, and herself a Caramel Latte. Yasmine placed the orders to practice her Korean. When she got back to the table, JaeMin and SuMin had sad looks on there face.
"What is wrong with you guys?" Yasmine asked, as she cocked her head to the side and sat at the table.
"We are sorry Yasmine and Kari, we have to take care of our family business. We can take you back to the house first if you want?" JaeMin said to Yasmine
"Kari, Do you want to go back to the house? I mean, We can stay and just walk around?" Yasmine said to Kari
"Hm, Sure, Let's do that. Thank you JaeMin-ssi and SuMin-ssi for bringing us here, but family is more important. So, go ahead and go!" Kari said to them.
"Ah, Thank You guys! We will see you later. We can pick you up later! Just text us when you are ready." JaeMin said to Yasmine and Kari. As JaeMin and SuMin left the coffee shop.
Kari sat just sat watching others as it was so cool.
"At the time where subtitles would come in handy would be in real life." she muttered to herself. she found it a bit weird since some people in the coffee shop were pointing in there direction.
"Hey Yasmine, Are you okay with us walking around now? I feel very weird with all the stares..."
"Calm Down Kari, we're Americans, we'll get those stares no matter where we go. Just embrace it. Maybe, you'll find a nice korean Oppa!" Yasmine said to Kari as they started to get up from the table and walk outside.
"An Oppa? Hmm maybe, like really I don't know. Cause in the dramas it would be like, yes be my Oppa, but now that we are actually here I feel very weird." Kari rants on before looking down at her phone.
"Eh, To be honest, meeting JaeMin for the first time, I felt really excited and I felt really like, embarrassed too. I don't know. I feel as though my korean isn't as great as i thought it would be." Yasmine said before looking down at her phone "But, Kari! I can't believe it's you! I can't believe were actually meeting."Yasmine said as she linked arms with Kari
"Haha, I know! It's so crazy. I really can't even believe we're here right now!" Kari said to Yasmine as they were walking down the streets of Daegu arms linked.
"Like- " Kari stopped what she was saying as she saw a little Ddeokbokki shop. "Yasmine! WE must have SPICY RICE CAKES." She said happily forgetting about the weird stares they got.
"Go ahead. I mean, I don't eat spicy food, but, you know, have some fun!" Yasmine said to Kari as when Kari walked into the Ddeokbokki shop. Kari was about to walk up to the counter before grabbing for her little coin purse.
