"yuta!" the purple haired boy turned towards the voice that called out his name and saw his parents with his younger brother. he rolled his suitcase over to them and gave them a big hug.
after yuta got into high school and they found about the dorm system there, yuta's family had moved back to japan to continue to live there. they found it more comfortable for them to stay in their hometown.
"how are you?" the japanese male's mom asked him. he replied by telling them that he was doing good and that he had missed them a lot. yuta's younger brother, kaito, who was five years old, made grabby hands towards his older brother, and the older knew what he wanted, so he picked up the little boy into his arms and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"how were you doing, kaito?" yuta asked his younger brother. the black haired boy replied with an enthusiastic 'good!' and wrapped his arms around the purple haired boy.
"come on. let's get going. everyone else is already home and waiting for you," yuta's dad said, nodding his head towards the car outside the airport. the purple haired boy nodded his head and grabbed his suitcase with one hand while still holding his little brother with his other. the family of four made their way to yuta's dad's car and got inside, making their way to the house.

after about an hour, the family finally arrived to their destination, their home. it was the same as yuta could remember: the bare trees due to it being winter, the brick walls that the japanese boy was all too familiar with, the feeling of the air, which was cold, but felt more fresh than the air in korea. the purple haired boy could say he was home, but if he were to be honest, he finds seoul more of his home since he had lived there for such a long time.
"we're back!" yuta's mom exclaimed as she opened the front door, revealing the inside of the house that yuta hadn't visited in a year. the purple haired boy followed his family through the front door and inside the crowded house that was filled with family members.
"yuta! long time, no see, cousin!" the owner of the purple hair was taken aback by his cousin, yamamoto keita, who had engulfed him in a hug as soon as he walked in. keita was a tall boy who was older than yuta by two years. the two were very close since they spent most of their childhood together before yuta moved to korea back in elementary school. they still met often when yuta was on semester break, but they haven't met each other in three year until now.
"back off, keita. i haven't seen him longer than you have," yuta's other cousin and keita's younger sister, yamamoto yui, said, pushing her brother aside and giving yuta a hug. yui was about the same age as renjun, so about a year and a half younger than the purple haired boy himself. the japanese boy hadn't seen yui in five years, back when she was in her first year of middle school.
keita and yui were from yuta's dad side of the family. the purple haired boy's dad has an older sister and younger brother, who died of cancer eight years ago. these two of yuta's cousins are his older sister's children.
