Chapter 150 - Returning Home (2/2)

My last advice to you would be never to be satisfied. Always strive to get better. The day you became content with yourself, you would cease improving.”

Shun nodded and moved to Ming.

Shun had spent most of his free time hanging out with Ming, so Ming was the person who Shun was closest to in the camp.

Shun: ”It was fun, wasn't it?”

Ming: ”It was.”

Neither Shun nor Ming felt the need to say anything more.

Shun extended his hand to shake Ming's hand. Ming, on the other hand, moved in for a hug.

Shun & Ming: ”Ah.”

Shun switched to a hug, and Ming tried to shake Shun's hand. And, again.

Shun & Ming: ”Oh.”

Finally, Ming grabbed Shun's hand in a hand-wrestling way and then pulled him close for a one-hand hug.

Both of them patted each other on the back and then separated.

They cleared their throats to clear the awkwardness.

Shun: ”See you later.”

Ming: ”Yeah, same.”

Shun said one last goodbye to everyone and then went to the boarding area with Hattori.

After a long flight from Los Angles to Tokyo, Shun stretched his arms and legs after he got off from the plane.

Shun: ”That was a long flight.”

Hattori smiled and replied.

Hattori: ”It sure was. Now that you're back in Japan, what will you be doing?”

Shun smiled and answered.

Shun: ”By the time I get home, it will be time to sleep. I will hit a pillow top, and when I wake up in the morning, I will eat my mom's cooking.

That is my first objective. After that, I will see how things go.”

Hattori chuckled and nodded.

Hattori: ”That is true. I also miss Japanese cuisine.

Now, come on. Let's get our luggage.”

Hattori and Shun picked up their bags and headed to the visiting gallery to meet Shun's parents, who were there to pick Shun up.

Shun was excited as he walked a little faster than usual, he had missed his parents and wanted to see them, even a second earlier.

Shun saw the gates that separated the passengers and the visitors.

Shun: 'They will be on the other side.'

A wide smiled appeared on Shun's face as he hurried and crossed the gates and looked around to find his parents.

As he looked around, he heard his mom's voice.

Mom: ”Shun!”

He snapped his face towards the direction of the sound and saw his mom. A happy smiled surfaced on Shun's face as he ran towards his mother.

Shun: ”Mom!”

Shun's mom had tears in her eyes as he hugged her son, who she hadn't seen for such a long time. She felt relief when she saw him and heard his voice that didn't come from the other side of a phone.

Mom: ”Oh, Shun. I missed you so much.”

Shun smiled as he replied in kind.

Shun: ”Me too, mom.”

Mother and son separated after a long hug. Shun looked behind his mom to see his dad standing with a smile on his face.

Shun walked to his father and wrapped him a bear hug.

Shun: ”I missed you, dad.”

Shun's dad returned the hug by hugging Shun tightly and replied.

Dad: ”Me too, son. Me too.”

After the family of three had their airport reunion, Shun's parents thanked Hattori for taking care of Shun, and both partied went their separate ways.

In the car, Shun told his parents about the camp and Los Angeles, and when they reached home, Shun took a shower and dropped to his bed right after.

Just before sleeping, Shun thought about seeing his friends and teammates again.

And, just before sleep overtook him, he thought of a certain pink-haired girl.

Shun smiled as he thought.

Shun: 'I wonder how has she been?'

He finally slept in the comfort of his home on his own bed.

Kageyama Shun was back home.
