A Bat's Sibling | Red Hood

Chapter 24: Korea

Note: Mercenary Enrollment does not belong to be.

Basically, I fell in love with this manhwa. Google translate means the Korean written isn't accurate. I don't have Korean friends to proofread. Making life easier, quotes and italic are "(another language)"   If I remember to use it...

"Hey, Jason," Jaylin called standing in front of the airport with her luggage.

"Did you come back? I heard the ticket was for today. Do you want me to pick you up?" He asked in a hurry at his safe-house cleaning up the mess and putting clothes in his duffle bag.

"So uh, change of plans. I plan on staying in South Korea for a few months. Max one or two," Jaylin spoke quickly feeling guilty. One, she in another dimension, left Gotham for 3-5 years. Two, her brother thought he lost her and 2 other brothers forever including his friends. Three, she wasn't spending quality family time with his family.

"Oh," he said slowly. "Is it work?" He asked hands balled up in fists.

"Something like that. I'm visiting an old friend from work. Haven't seen him in 3 years already."

"You coming for New years?" He asked in a lower tone than his excited one seconds ago.

"If everything goes well. I'll see you in New Year. But Jace, if something does happen, don't get involved. Promise me this," Jaylin spoke firmly. She didn't want her brother to be involved with the camp.

"What are you going to do?" He asked afraid for her own safety considering she asked him not to interfere.

"Just visiting a friend living a normal life of a high schooler," Jaylin smiled from her side of the phone. "I promise you, I won't." Being fatally wounded could happen but not death.

"I'm trusting you, Mei."

"I'm your little sister. Of course, you're going to trust me," she said with a small laugh before hanging up.

Looking in front of her, she finally got a better view of the place where she landed. Breathing in the air, it definitely felt cleaner than Gotham. More peace than the battlefields. Though both the battlefield and Korea brought her different types of peace.

"Excuse me, are you from Korea? Thailand?" The random person asked out of nowhere approaching her when she was waiting for the 901 bus. "Could you please take off your mask so I can guess where you're from?" Jaylin was polite enough and followed his request, "Japan... Um, China!"

Taking off her black doctor mask, Jaylin corrected, "raised in China. Born here."

"Oh," he didn't realize she was American, it was only the feeling she gave off that identified her as an Asia. "Are you perhaps an artist? Play piano, guitar?"

"I know martial arts." She responded.

"Perfect. Would you like to join my entertainment company? It's called 'Enter-productions'." She man offered.

"No thanks," Jaylin immediately responded.

The guy didn't leave until Jaylin's full-body entered the bus. That was random, Kim thought when she was in front of the driver. "Oh, 티켓 한 장," she asked for a ticket in the native language of the country. The nice ahjusshi made small talk before Jaylin had to move and sit down in the seat at the far back.

Jaylin watched Seoul from the point of view inside a bus. The bright lights passing through the glass. It was beautiful, much more light than Gotham.
