(Twice)
You had just finished the last touches to your home cooked meal when your phone rang. Hearing Jihyo's distinct ringtone, you immediately picked up.
"Baby, I..."
"I'm going to be a little late!" She cuts you off, a rush to get back to practice. "Practice is just running a little than we expected but I'll be there!"
Ever since the two of you had started dating almost a year ago, Jihyo had done her best to split her time evenly between you and work. She really tried her best but the 50/50 split was more like 30% of her time was spent with you and the rest was working. You've never had a problem with it as often times you worked late into the nights. Your schedules made it so the two of you had to actually sit down and plan dates so that you could at least spend two days of the week together. It had never been a problem but with Twice's tour starting soon, Jihyo's been far too busy to spend a few minutes with you.
"Jihyo, baby. It's fine. I don't mind eating alone. Just make sure that you're eating and drinking plenty of fluids."
"No. I'll be there soon. We're almost done."
Before you could argue, Jihyo hung up. The thought of calling her back to cancel the date was tempting but you decided against it. You weren't going to stop Jihyo from coming home for dinner.

"I'm so sorry! I really tried to get them to cut practice early but they wouldn't listen...."
Knowing that she could go on and on with her apologies, you cut her off with a kiss. When you pull back, you rest your forehead against hers with your eyes closed.
"Breathe, Jihyo. I'm not mad. I am glad you're home, though." Wrapping your arms around her, you pull her into a tight hug. Neither of you let go until the over timer goes off. "Now go change into something comfortable and we'll eat dinner on the couch, sound good?"
She presses a soft kiss to your lips as she nods.
"Sounds perfect."

Twice's managers weren't happy with how distracted Jihyo was. Practice started off great but as soon as it drew close to an end, Jihyo began to mess up. It was only a few moves but it was enough to throw everyone off. They couldn't imagine how things would be on the tour when Jihyo wouldn't be able to go home to whoever was waiting for her.
"You care about Jihyo, don't you?"
Tzuyu had been called to their office. The other members wouldn't give anything up but they were confident that she would speak up.
"That shouldn't even be a question. Everyone knows how much I love and care for all the girls."
The man smiles to his partner before turning to Tzuyu. They had been right to ask her first. If they had asked anyone else, the other members would've warned her.
"We know and that's why we have some concerns about her and this tour. We're worried that she'll be distracted. That she won't focus on how important this tour is."
"That won't happen! Jihyo is dedicated to Twice. She's been training longer than anyone."
"Exactly. That's why we're concerned about a few things. We just want to make sure that she succeeds. Can you think of anything......or anyone that could be distracting her?"
They immediately noticed Tzuyu's hesitation.
"We just want to help! We care about all of you." The woman clarifies. She had to be careful with her words. "Maybe bringing said person along on the tour will help Jihyo."
