"What did you just say?" Mia was so shocked she sat straight up in bed, her hair a total mess. Her husband silently helped tidy her up a bit. "I, your little brother, Cooper, am back in the country! Did you catch that?" Cooper repeated.

At the international exit of the airport, a teenager walked out pushing a black suitcase. He was wearing a gray cotton jacket, with a pair of black wireless headphones, making a call at the airport entrance. He watched the passing cars, feeling the joy of being back home. Cooper hadn't been back for more than a year.

Looking at people around Cooper felt a mix of emotions. Although he was a bit on the thin side, he was quite tall.

Cooper was always a pain in the neck. When Mia got a nine on a test, she was thrilled and brought it home to share. But Cooper just had to rain on her parade, "You're already over the moon about a nine. If I got a ten, should I pop a bottle of champagne to celebrate?" After that, Mia smacked him.

When she grew older, Mia bought a necklace and excitedly asked her family if it looked nice. Cooper started again, "It looks like a dog chain."

He got smacked again.

Mia bought a pretty dress, and he said, "It's a total disaster for you in that dress."

So Mia smacked him a third time.

Lots of times, Cooper took advantage of his smarts to tease his sister, Mia. There were many times when Mia couldn't tell if he was mocking her, but she knew Cooper's words were generally not pleasant. So every time Cooper said something, she would smack him. When they were young, their home was lively with Mia and Cooper fighting, and their parents always had to intervene.

Despite the constant bickering, the two of them were very close.

Cooper was sent abroad before he turned 15. The Irvin family's parents wanted him to gain some life experience, so they sent him abroad alone. When he was still in the country, Mia was like before, messing around with Cooper every day. However, when they sent Cooper to the airport and heard his plane fly away, Mia's longing burst out from deep within her. She couldn't help but cry uncontrollably at the site.
