❀ 10 years later
sending to @rknvna !
the land of the rising sun, is the place of her bloodline origin. the first home to her soul, second was the country that raised her with a diverse and rich background. sakura remembers when she would visit japan every summer to relearn her roots, never leaving them behind. her parents were adamant people who wanted to raise sakura in an upbringing to appreciate her culture. she's thankful to have been able to speak, read, and write in japanese as opposed to her classmates, back in australia, who hold no knowledge of their native tongues.
she left japan at a young age, around four years old. before stepping on foot to australia, she made a dear friend through family friends. truth to be told, sakura didn't know too many people back in japan with a few exclusions. the girl didn't like the sadness that surrounded her when she left her older sister figure, nana, a supportive person with a good heart.
but upon arriving on the new land, seoul, she's been able to see the older after 10 years! which brings her such euphoria, "onee-chan!" japanese is her choice of language, she feels comfortable with this. her communication skills in english and japanese are much better than her rust-bucket korean. "how has school been treating you? if you’re not busy, we should hang out right now!" she's truly eager to spend time with the person who she sees as the sister she's never had.
