In Rhythm With You (Lee Know x Reader)

Dancing Around Feelings

In the weeks that followed, Lee Know kept showing up at her practices. Sometimes they'd dance together; other times, he'd simply sit back and watch, offering advice, cracking jokes, or just quietly observing her.

It became their routine—a rhythm of their own.

One evening, after an especially grueling session, they collapsed on the floor, both breathless and laughing.

"You're improving," Lee Know said, turning his head to look at her, his eyes sparkling with something she couldn't quite place.

"I've had a good teacher," she replied, a smile tugging at her lips.

A comfortable silence settled over them. The hum of the city outside barely penetrated the walls, leaving them in their bubble of warmth and exhaustion.

"Y/N," he said suddenly, his tone more serious than usual. She turned to face him, the look in his eyes sending her pulse racing again. "Do you ever feel like there's more to this? Like... like we're not just dancing anymore?"

Y/N's breath caught in her throat. She had been asking herself the same thing for days now, weeks maybe. There was something between them—something that had grown with every dance, every smile, every shared laugh.

"I do," she whispered, her voice barely audible, but she knew he heard her. His gaze softened, and for a moment, the world stopped.

Lee Know sat up slowly, his eyes never leaving hers. "Then let's stop dancing around it."

And before she could react, before her mind could catch up with her heart, he leaned in, closing the distance between them. His lips brushed against hers, soft and gentle at first, as if testing the waters. But when she kissed him back, it deepened, a perfect harmony of everything they had shared up until this moment.

When they finally pulled apart, breathless and wide-eyed, he rested his forehead against hers. "We're pretty good at this, huh?" he teased, his smile returning.

"Yeah," she laughed softly, feeling a warmth she hadn't known before. "We really are."

In that moment, Y/N realized something: Falling in love with Lee Know was like learning a new dance. It was unexpected, a little intimidating, but once she found her rhythm, it was the most natural thing in the world.

And just like their dances, it felt perfect—like they had always been meant to move together.
