Can You Hear Me

One: Like a Hawk

It was a fine day.

Le sserafim scrolls through their phone while waiting for their manager to pick up their food after a very tiring dance routine.

Sakura found herself knitting a pouch while the others watch her in amazement.

"Unnie! You always knit things." Yunjin said while she plays something on her phone.

"What are you doing right now?" Their leader, Chaewon, asked.

"She's always like that, she always knit things whenever she can." Eunchae, the youngest said earning a laugh from Sakura.

"Oh this is a pouch for my phone." Sakura answered. She puts down the knitting needle and took out a notebook.

"Wow! That's amazing! How did you do that!" Yunjin exclaim as soon as she saw the book cover.

"I made this." Sakura said, showing everyone the knitted book cover. "And this." Then she took out a knitted hat from the paper bag beside her.

"Wooaahh!

"Daebak!"

"Unnie! You're so cool."

"Wow."

Everyone was amazed by Sakura's talent for knitting. From hats, to pouches, book covers and even tops. She doesn't stop knitting whenever she have a free time. She loves knitting so much that she gave two TWICE members a hat.

"By the way everyone. Are you done packing your things? We have to leave the house at two to have a meeting before we fly to LA tomorrow." Chaewon said, reminding them of their schedule for their upcoming comeback.

"I'm kinda worried about our theme for this comeback. Coz you know, we're shooting a music video in a Church. Although it's a site where you really shoot music videos and movies, I'm afraid people will say something about it." Yunjin said, voicing her thoughts to their members.

"I was thinking of the same thing but let's work hard for our fans." Chaewon said.

"I wanted to do really well for this comeback. We really worked hard for this. I hope our efforts pays off." Sakura said. 

"Me too. I know I still lack in a lot of things and sometimes it feels like I am a burden to you guys and even though I double my efforts and work the hardest, I feel like it's not enough, I'm not satisfied." Kazuha said.

"What are you saying? You're not a burden. You're doing well. We are all doing our best, so let us  us all focus on our goal and rock this comeback." Chaewon said, encouraging her members.

Everyone feels the pressure, everyone is also tired of the back-to-back schedule, and everyone is trying their hardest so that their next come back will be successful.

"Let's do Easy again, then Smart. Come on everyone, let's start stretching." Chaewon said.

Everyone stood up and followed their leader. Sakura and Eunchae satarted stretching while sitting down, while the other three used equipments or did it while standing up.

After the long tiring day, Chaewon told her members that they are free to go home. Eunchae and Sakura went home together, while the others decided to go to a local café near their company.

Kazuha, being a bread lover, can't contain her excitement as they walk down to their destination.

"Kazuha looks more excited than Shiro." Yunjin said earning a laugh from Chaewon and a shy giggle from Kazuha.

"It's bread, unnie. I've been craving for it since yesterday." The youngest said.

"Shiro, wait up!" Chaewon suddenly exclaimed when Shiro started tugging her leash.

Chaewon has no choice but to pick up Shiro.

"Wow!" Kazuha exclaimed when they arrived at the shop. There's a lot of variety of bread to choose from.

They were about to order when Chaewon's phone suddenly rang.

"Oh! It's Unnie." She informed the other. "Hello?"

"What?! We're on our way. Please take care of yourself and Eunchae. I'm calling our manager."

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Yunjin suddenly asked, worried about Sakura and Eunchae.

"Is everything okay?" Kazuha asked at the same time.

"We need to go home as soon as possible. I'm calling our manager to pick us up. I'll tell you while we're on our way. C'mon." Chaewon turned to the cashier and bowed her head. "I'm sorry, we'll come back next time."

The teo younger girls also did the same before they hurriedly went out, waiting for their manager to come pick them up.

Chaewon felt anxious because Sakura and Eunchae is home alone. They live at two-storey adjacent apartments. The second floor is occupied by Chaewon, Kazuha and Yunjin while on the ground floor is Eunchae and Sakura's bedroom including the living room, kitchen and dining room. The other apartment is occupied by their managers, which is rarely home since they usually go gome to their family since it's a lot nearer to their company. So it's almost, always empty.

As soon as the car stopped in front of them, the girls immediately went in, waiting for Chaewon to tell them what's wrong.

"Sakura called me. They're hiding in Eunchae's room. Maknae is scared." Their manager told them as soon as they are settled.

"What?! Why are they hiding?!"

"Is everything alright?"

Both Yunjin and Kazuha asked.

"Unnie said they heard the door open but got suspicious when they didn't hear our voices. When she looked, she saw a guy
walking to the stairs. As soon as she's sure the guy won't see her, she immediately runs into Eunchae's room. And now they are hiding in there, waiting for us." Chaewon said. Yunjin, noticing the distress in Chaewon's face, held their leader's hand and tried to comfort the girls.

"I sent your guards there, so they must have arrived by now." Their manager said. "We can't let the public know that someone barged inside your house. It will create a huge issue, it may cause a delay in your comeback." He added.

It sounded wrong. But they know they don't have control over what's happening. Despite feeling frustrated, mad and confused, the three girls chose to keep their mouth shut.

Thinking it's for the better.
