Seungmin's heart raced with excitement as the train approached Busan station. After a year of rigorous studies in America, he was finally returning to his hometown to visit his beloved grandparents.

But what made this homecoming even more special was the long-awaited reunion with his favorite cousin, Jeongin.

As the train came to a stop, Seungmin hurriedly gathered his belongings, eager to embrace his family after such a long absence. Stepping onto the platform, he was greeted by the warm sea breeze and the familiar sights and sounds of Busan. It felt like coming home.

With a quickened pace, Seungmin made his way through the bustling station and hailed a taxi to take him to his grandparents' house.

As the taxi wound its way through the streets of Busan, memories flooded Seungmin's mind – memories of childhood adventures with Jeongin, of lazy summer days spent exploring the beaches, and of family gatherings filled with laughter and love.

Finally, the taxi pulled up to his grandparents' modest yet welcoming home. With a joyful heart, Seungmin bounded up the steps and rang the doorbell. Within moments, the door swung open, and there stood his grandparents, their faces lighting up with delight at the sight of their grandson.

"Seungmin, my dear boy, you're finally here!" his grandmother exclaimed, pulling him into a tight embrace.

"It's so good to see you, Grandma," Seungmin replied, his voice choked with emotion. „I missed Busan so much!"

After exchanging warm greetings and catching up on the latest news, Seungmin's attention turned to the one person he had been eagerly anticipating – Jeongin. With a twinkle in his eye, Seungmin asked his grandparents about Jeongin's whereabouts.

"Oh, he should be here any minute now," his grandfather replied with a knowing smile.

Sure enough, just as Seungmin finished his sentence, the sound of footsteps echoed through the hallway. And then, appearing in the doorway, was Jeongin – taller and more mature than Seungmin remembered, but with the same infectious smile that could light up a room.

"Hyung!" Jeongin exclaimed, rushing forward to envelop Seungmin in a bear hug.

"Jeongin!" Seungmin laughed, returning the embrace with equal enthusiasm. "It's been too long!"

Seated around the wooden dining table in his grandparents' cozy kitchen, Seungmin and Jeongin savored the tantalizing aroma of homemade Korean dishes that filled the air. Plates piled high with steaming rice, spicy kimchi, savory bulgogi, and an array of banchan – traditional side dishes – adorned the table, creating a feast fit for a king.

As they indulged in the delicious meal prepared by their grandmother, Seungmin regaled his family with tales of his adventures and experiences during his time in America.
