Sakura's POV:

We are back in Korea and have rested for four days. We flew back here the day after we went back to Subic from San Fernando. It was the 29th of May and we are currently getting ready to visit Alex Unnie. I was making the jiggly mini pancakes for breakfast and to bring some to Alex Unnie's grave as offering for her. Chaeyeon was helping me cook at the moment. She was smiling more these past four days and have ordered so much fastfood for our kids. I was happy that today we finally got to cook. Everyone was oddly silent these past few days ever since we came back from Subic, pretty odd really. Since everyone were so exhausted with the two day trip we've done to and from the Philippines. Chaen promised to Uncle Skyler that we will be back for a vacation in December and finally get to see the Christmas Village they were raving about. Apparently, San Fernando makes a beautiful Christmas Lantern. It was the Municipality's forte. Though we have a busy schedule when December comes, she still promised Skylar's parents that we will be back.

Her smiles are genuine now, noticeably so, that our kids always . Surprising even me when she doesn't mind their teasing. She just smiles at them and goes about her day. Totally unlike her previous self. I'm happy that she finally learned to choose her calmness. She was definitely more calmer now compared to nine months ago. It was an abrupt change, but of course I wasn't complaining about the changes she did, regardless if she took time to change or this abrupt change she did, I have always stayed beside her. She even gave up her alcohol for me. She was preparing the fruits which will serve as toppings for the mini pancakes. She was particularly bubbly this morning, humming and dancing along a song as she chops the fruits. ITZY's Swipe as her dancing suggested, she was supportive of her sister's comeback that she always listen to Chaeryeong's Group Album, the whole album including b-side tracks, she'd often dance to the track.

Admittedly the songs her sister's group put out are all bops. Even our kids like the entire album, often sparking a dance off between them. I mastered some choreography from ITZY, but I was more of singing. So far the only song I liked is Trust Me: MIDZY, a song dedicated to their fandom, MIDZY. I was never someone to listen to energetic songs, which is what ITZY mostly had, all their albums so far are mostly dance songs. Their intense choreography was also what they boasted, it was even more intense than what we have, the songs we put out is about us, uniting and going through the hard times we had in training. Looking back at those times and what we all experienced. The rest of the team experienced great loss when the two unnies died, the songs we put out on the two albums were about our dreams coming true and being grateful for each other and moving forward through our dreams and all the realities that came with it.

She was swiping her hands up the air from right to left. I'm not gonna lie, she's really cute when she's being a silly kid. Devoid of all the stresses in her life, happy and laughing like a demon. My favorite part of her is the demonic laugh she's known for, she's always laughing at petty and childish things, a side I thought I'd never see. A hearty laugh that she always gives out to Eunbi Unnie, Yujin and Yena, right before smacking Yena and Yujin in the head, her way of loving the two. I've reiterated to her that that's not how she shows love for someone, it should be through hugs and kisses, gentleness and kindness, but of course it's been nine months and at this point, I'll take what I can get.

I finished mixing the batter up and got to the stove. She's still dancing to Swipe as she cuts the fruits. First batch was for the Maknae line who by any moment now, would complain they are hungry and wanted to eat as soon as one of them wakes up. I was scrambling to get food on the table for the Maknae line. I was concentrating on making the mini pancakes. When she got done cutting up the fruits. She made her way to my side, getting her jig on. So silly really and I wouldn't trade this for the world. It was time probably to tell her that her jig's up and I want her to focus on cooking breakfast with me. But she stops dancing without me saying a word to her and focuses on scrambling the first batch of eggs for the Maknae line.

"I love you, yeobo." She says eventually, totally out of the blue.

"I love you too, yeobo. Now, please focus on making those eggs." I replied to her.

It earned me an audible pout, I can certainly see her with a pout on her face, if I looked to my side.

"Pretty cold, but okay." She replied sarcastically.

"I'm not being cold, I'm just telling you to step on it cause the kids will be up soon and there's no breakfast yet." I replied to her shaking my head at her.

"Aigoo, my yeobo is a sweet and caring mother to the kids. Gomawo. I feel lucky to have you, yeobo." She says eventually and continued to cook the scrambled eggs.

She sang I GUESS I'M IN LOVE by Clinton Kane as she cooked. Really something else when she's in the mood to be.

"And why do I get so nervous when I look into your eyes? Butterflies can't stop me from falling for you." She sang and looked up to me with her silly smile.

"Yah! Lee Chaeyeon! I'm serious! If you don't move I'll hit you with this pan! You'll see!" I shouted at her.

"Anddarlin'thisismorethananythingIfeltbeforeYou'reeverythingthatIwantbutIdidn'tthinkI'dfindSomeonewhoisworththewaitofalltheyearsofmyheartbreakButIknownowIfoundthe one I love."

She sang in a hurry, only pronouncing the last few words surely and no hurry before ducking out of my view and scrambling those eggs. She's really something else with all her sweet nothings. Silly and a breathe of fresh air, so far from the initial Lee Chaeyeon I came to know of, this one is more kinder with her actions and words, had everything under control and doesn't depend on alcohol. The old Chaeyeon prior to ever meeting her was back and maybe more nicer now.

"That song is for my yeobo, aegiya, koibito and wifey. To tell her I'm so in love with her and her every actions make my heart flutter, even just the thought of her being the mother of my kids makes me whipped." She says to me.

"Yeah? Go tell who ever your yeobo, aegiya, koibito and your wifey later, for now, please focus on cooking and step on it." I replied to her jokingly.

I know I was all of those terms for her, but seeing her cute pouts just makes me fall deeper for her.

"Okay, but you're my yeobo, aegiya, koibito and wifey though." She replied and stayed silent for the reminder of her cooking.

She cooked some scrambled eggs, sausages and some sausage patties. Typical all american breakfast, though we've already had it this Sunday and the reason why we are doing it again on a Tuesday is for the remembrance of Alex Unnie. We finished plating everything just about when the Maknae Line entered the dining area. We prepared the Maknae Line their drinks, a Vanilla Latte for Wonyoung, Yujin and Yuri Hot Chocolate, Chai Tea Latte for Tomi and Nako, Green Tea for Minju and I. The rest of the team will have an Americano, Black for Chaeyeon, Chaewon, Yena and Kwangbae and a Sprite for Eunbi Unnie. We set down those drinks as the maknae line made themselves comfortable and situated in their seats.

"Good morning, Haelmoni." Wonyoung hugged me before taking her seat.

She's really a sweet heart to everyone.

"Good morning, my sonnyeo, have a seat now and enjoy your breakfast." I replied to her as I moved through the kitchen.

"Thank you, Haelmoni." She replied and let me go.

She sat at the table and took a bite of her breakfast along with the others. A smile could be seen in her face as she took bites of the jiggly japanese mini hotcakes, she eats well, that I could confirm. I continued to cook the next batch of hotcakes. In no time, finishing the rest of the batter and plating everything. Chaen helped me get the rest of the plates into the table. After she woke up the others to have breakfast. I finally got to sit down and was greeted with audible mmmms from the Maknae Line. I smiled at all of them, they were the sole reasons why I wake up early and prepare their breakfast, just like they used to have breakfast first thing in the morning. Everyone of them had good things to say about my cooking, making me more motivated to cook for them.

Chaen got back from the rooms and joined us on the table. Digging into her breakfast, she smiled at me as she ate. I was on her right side as she took the head of seat. Typical Korean table of the rich, she had to really get a custom made table and chairs. The Crazy Rich Asian that she is is manifesting on this dorm. Including our room with the remote control everything and a master controller for everything around the dorm as well as the loft area, she also picked out expensive sheets and other things around the dorm. Her tastes were sophisticated where as for me, I can sleep anywhere as long as I have a blanket, in the floor, in a chair and as well as in a bus or van. Heck, I could even sleep standing up as long as I have my blanket. She sleeps in satin sheets and the bed most comfortable and gives you lumbar support. Not gonna lie the bed in her house was so comfy that I had trouble getting up most times if I wasn't supposed to make breakfast for her kids I'll be in bed probably.

After breakfast we went and got ready for the cemetery. We are wearing purple colored tops today as it was Alex Unnie's favorite color. This time we are wearing a button down shirt and jeans, which was according to the other Korean members was Alex Unnie's go to relaxed outfit. I would never know for sure but I followed them. Just like the first time we went and introduced ourselves back in October. We were just dressed casually, it didn't really require us to buy any outfits, but the first time, Minju and I actually went shopping for fall, as most of my clothes were for summer, the boxes of clothes from Japan wouldn't arrive until the week after our debut. She pulled me over to a dress shop and picked the dress I wore that time, she picked white for me cause according to my daughter it flatters me well, though I think otherwise, cause she always says I look pretty in this and that. You'll honestly stop believing everything after quite some time of knowing Minju, but I appreciate her choice as it was so far off with my revealing dresses.

As I mentioned, I was always hot, I couldn't tolerate heat. That was why my clothes are always too revealing. But Minju picked out clothes that doesn't expose me but had cuts and styles that keeps me cool. Like Kwangbae, she has cool and fashionable choices. Both are often with me when I shop around, the two tags along with me and are very patient with me. Chaen on the other hand, loves to shop online, the monotony of her outfits are evident, rarely you'd see her dresses, it was always pants and her button down shirts, jeans and her shirt, jogging pants and her oversized shirts. There was absolutely no dresses or shorts, if she had any, it was our stage outfit.

I was preparing tea for myself, it would take time before everyone is finished getting ready. I sat at the overlooking spot, I stare at the skies and clouds, it was still spring and cherry blossoms were in bloom, I wondered how the two unnies are doing. If I had met them previously and just couldn't remember them. I also prepared Chaeyeon's second cup of Americano. I set it down on the table before sitting, the clouds are beautiful today, they seem to be rooting for us in this planned visit to Alex Unnie, a week ago a trial has happened and the men who did this
