Lee Know woke up to find Emily already up and getting ready. He tiredly got up from the bed and made his way behind her in the bathroom. She jumped slightly before relaxing as he wrapped his arms around her from behind.
"You scared me!" Emily told him
"Sorry."
"You have to get ready for practice." Emily informed him
  Lee Know groaned as he nestled his head into her back before letting go. He got changed into dance practice clothes as Emily was sitting on the bed. He soon walked out all dressed which consisted of a white T-shirt with a zip up jacket over it, sweatpants, and sneakers that were good for dancing.

  "I noticed that my hair is getting longer. You think I should cut it?" Lee Know asked
  "You look nice with long hair but I wouldn't stop you if you decided to cut it." Emily tells him
  "Thanks. You ready to go?" Lee Know asked
  "Yeah."
  Lee Know lead Emily out of the hotel room to meet up with the members. They get to the lobby to see the members all dressed for dance practice. They all hopped into the van and drove off to their location. When they arrived, they immediately got straight to work as Lee Know turned to Emily.
  "Sadly, you can't be right by my side while we are doing this, but theres a place for you to sit over there with a charging cable so you can talk to the team. If you need the bathroom, it's right down the hall on the right. Um, if you get hungry or thirsty theres a fridge and racks filled with snacks over there. Other than that, let me know if you need anything."
  Emily placed a hand on his chest as she kiss him on the lips. He smiled into the kiss, not before he was dragged away from her by Changbin. Lee Know lightly smacked him in the stomach for dragging him away from his girlfriend. Changbin chuckled as they got straight to work. Emily was enchanted by how they worked together for their performances. It was also a shock to see Lee Know in command of the group. She also got to see how they all interacted together, like brothers. She looked down at her phone as she texted Penelope back. The door of the dance practice room opened to reveal an older man. The eight men turned towards him and bowed out of respect.
"JYP what are you doing here?" Bang Chan asked
"I need to speak with Lee Know."
Lee Know sighed to himself as he knew what this was about. He walked past his members, receiving pats on the shoulder and back, as he walked out of the room with their boss. Emily stood up from her seat and made her way over to them.
"What does he want?" Emily asked
"For what I think, I think it's about you." Seungmin replied
"Why?"
"I guess he didn't tell her." Felix muttered
"Didn't tell me what?" Emily asked
"To put it in the simplest way possible, K-pop idols usually aren't allowed to date." I.N explained
"Why not? That's not fair!" Emily asked incredulously
"Don't worry about it, everything should be fine." Bang Chan consoled her

Lee Know and JYP made it outside the room as the young man was concerned for what was going to happen. He crossed his arms over his chest as he waited for the lecture and whatever consequence he was going to receive.
"I'm not mad at you. I want to ask, are you going to tell STAY about her?" JYP asked
Lee Know nodded, "Yes, I plan to at the concert. I don't want to hide her anymore."
"Good. I'm happy for you. I should be upset about this, but I'm not. I've seen what this line of work has done for couples and I don't want to ruin it anymore. Tell her that if she wants, she can attend any other tours if she wants." JYP explained
"Thank you, Sir."
JYP held his hand out to Lee Know for a hand shake. Lee Know gave a small smile and shook his hand.
"Now get back to practicing." JYP commanded
Lee Know chuckled as he walked back into the room to see everyone looking at him, waiting for the worst possible scenario. He walked over and wrapped his arm around Emily's shoulder, pulling her close to him.
"What did he say?" Bang Chan asked
"That he was happy for me." Lee Know replied
"So everything's ok?" Hyunjin asked
Lee Know nodded as he pressed a kiss to Emily's cheek. The boys pulled the couple into a group hug before breaking away.
"So when are you going to announce this to the world?" Han asked, gesturing to Lee Know and Emily's relationship
"I was thinking towards the end of the concert, in front of STAY." Lee Know replied
"That sounds like a perfect idea!" Changbin commented
Lee Know smiled at the members liking his idea. He gestured for Emily to sit back down as they quickly got back to work for the tour. She sat back down and scrolled through her phone as she caught the article that Seungmin showed them not too long ago. She saw there was a lot of comments on it and decided to look at them. Bad idea. There was a bunch of comments saying how they hate the woman if it was true, even though they've never met her before. She scrolled and saw another comment saying that whoever was dating Lee Know was only with him for his money, even though it's not true. Bang Chan called a break and Lee Know made his way over to Emily to see her frowning at her phone.
"What's wrong?" Lee Know asked
Emily looked up to see her boyfriend, sweaty from all the dancing he has done. She placed her phone down beside her and looked at him with a false smile.
"Fine."
Lee Know didn't believe her and grabbed her phone as she tried to get it back. She forgot to turn her screen off so he saw exactly what she was looking at.
"You shouldn't listen to these comments. They are just jealous of you for being with me. I bet once they see how happy I am with you, they will change their whole attitude. Now, want to get something to eat?" Lee Know asked
Emily smiled at his words and nodded as she stood up and followed him and the team out of the dance studio.
