Five years have passed after that.

"You should really put important things in your bag, Kazuki," I told my youngest son, Irie Kazuki, to pack well. The house was in mess, especially my other son Haruki complained enough about his things inside his bag. Since Kazuki and Haruki including Hanami are triplets, Haruki was really strict enough for his things. Especially his clothes. He doesn't hate his brother but he certainly wanted people to recognize them as Haruki and Kazuki, especially we are meeting Kotoko's family this time around.

"Wait, Dad!" Hanami, the youngest of them all, pinched my shirt. "I can't tie my shoelaces, Dad." she pouted and pointed to her shoes. I sat down in front of her and tied her shoes. I've been waiting for them to come down so that we could go but since that, I can't manage them all, it will take a long time. "Hanami, I told you not to depend on yourself on others! You should try to work things out on your own. When will you understand that? It's just a simple task... tsk. Remember the rabbit pattern I told you?" Kotomi, the eldest one, stood there hauling her little baggage and shouted at her little sister for the second time in this morning. Hanami just showed a sad face so I talked, "Mi-chan, it's enough. And besides, Hanami is trying her best. You should believe in her."

"I am only trying to be a good big sister, Dad. I don't want her to be that weak. I hate that her classmates think that she's stupid." she spat and tried to put her things into the compartment but since she's just a small fraction of a woman, her strength can't still put it so I lifted her baggage. "Go and tell your little brothers to come down. We're going late."

Kotomi was just six years old, but she already talks like a woman. I don't know where she got that thinking. I expect her to be smart enough but she's a smooth talker too. She talks about what she wants to convey and she expresses it with words.

"Nah, they are complaining who's going to wear black and red. I don't want to disturb them. They are hard-headed and very messy. If you tell them, Papa, they will listen to you." she pulled Hanami, "Let's get boarded, Hanami." and they got in first.

I bought his house two years ago. As I promised. It is not that quite big, it just fits this family. I am still a doctor at Tonan Hospital, and I make the most of the money. Some things had finally occurred to me, I need to save up more for their future and their needs. When they are both growing, the meaning of life started to piece out for me. I am working because of them. I wanted their future to be as bright as the stars as I have always seen with Kotoko. I promise to be good at her when we get old and I still need to do that. I want to do that.

"Boys, stop fighting now. Let's go." I told them when I found them pulling that little scarf that my mom bought for Kazuki. The color is red. "Dad, Kazuki won't let go of this scarf! I told him that it was mine! Grandma gave this to me!" Haruki complained. "No, Dad! Grandma bought this for me! Haruki is only lying!"

"Are you excited about meeting your mother's relatives or not?"

"But as you told us, mom's relatives are as stupid as her! I wanted to make an iconic look so that they could recognize me as Haruki, not Kazuki!"

"Boys, this is not the time to fight. Why do that now? People always make mistakes, you as Kazuki to Haruki and Haruki to Kazuki. You are triplets... and are very identical to each other. You should get used to it." I told them. But sometimes they got so much fun fooling the public to lure them who is them is who, and the other way around. They grow up to be messy... and always hard to control, they love to bully stupid girls their age and even make fun of them. I couldn't count the times of how the principal always wanted me to come to the office to talk about their messes. So far... they are only fooling around. What if they will get crazy more than that? As for now, they always ruined their science experiments. My heart was suffocated and had nearly at its death when I found out that they brought snakes to scare their classmates. It made commotions. I gave them a thorough scolding at that time, at least they were repentant. But I still can't trust them not to cause trouble. They were hard-headed.
